Chapter 53: The Chamber of Secrets
"You're going to the county tomorrow?" Zhan Qianche looked suspicious but not surprised.
"Otherwise, how can you conjure up twenty taels of silver out of thin air to redeem yourself? It's just that the Zhao family will definitely not worry about me going out, and it is inevitable that I will have a long tail behind me. ”
Bai Qianning looked at the Zhao family outside the fence as she spoke, there was a trace of helplessness on her face, God knows if something will go wrong when she earns money tomorrow, if this family follows inch by inch, how can she take things out of the space?
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, Bai Qianning turned the skewer in one hand and poked it with an oiled bamboo slice in the other, as if she was thinking that the quail in front of her was the Zhao family.
Xiao Douding was stunned for a moment next to him, and hurriedly reminded: "Mother, the quails are all pierced out of the hole." ”
"Oh!" Bai Qianning came back to his senses at this time, replied a word, and continued to apply oil with an unnatural expression, and the air instantly froze.
"So you've figured out how to make money? Also, do you want to take the child with you? ”
Zhan Qianche's timely question broke the silence, and his voice was as low as a gust of night wind.
Hearing this, Bai Qianning was shocked, and remembered what happened to her just now, if Zhan Qianche really had some unknown habits, then she really didn't worry about Xiao Douding staying alone with him.
But now she wants to earn money, and it is always inconvenient to take care of a child.
Bai Qianning was embarrassed, but Xiao Douding suddenly spoke, stretched out his little hand and grabbed Zhan Qianche's sleeve and said, "Tomorrow I will follow Uncle Wang up the mountain to hunt, and Uncle Wang said that he would catch a tiger for me to ride." ”
Tiger? Bai Qian was stunned, what is this! Catch a tiger and ride! Before you drink the wine, you think of yourself as Wu Song?
Slandering in the bottom of his heart, Bai Qianning didn't show any unusual look on his face, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Douding's little face, and only said: "The tiger is a man-eating thing, your little doll with big beans is still clamoring to ride a tiger, but you are tired of it at a young age?" ”
"Uncle will not break his promise to me."
Xiao Dou Ding pursed his mouth, with a determined look on his face, as if he was a little admirer of Zhan Qianche.
Bai Qianning secretly sighed that his position in the bottom of Xiao Douding's heart was not guaranteed, and he didn't know how Zhan Qianche could coax Xiao Douding to be so intimate with him.
only said: "My mother naturally believes what my uncle said, and she will not break her word." But tomorrow Uncle is going to catch prey for the people in the village, in my opinion, you should go to Aunt Xu's house for a day, and wait for your mother to come back and buy you sugar gourds to eat, okay? ”
After saying this, Bai Qianning didn't give Xiao Douding a chance to refute at all, flipped the quail on the grill and said, "Okay, you forgot that the rice balls are still in the house, go and take her out, and you can eat quails right away." ”
"Oh"
Xiao Douding replied, leaving the matter behind him in an instant, and his little butt slid off the bench, turned around and ran in the direction of the house.
Seeing her enter the room, Bai Qianning turned his gaze to Zhan Qianche, and said in a low voice: "I don't care what your identity is, and I won't reveal half of the matter in the underground secret room, as for how I want to make money, you don't need to ask, I can live here for a few days to thank for help, but I, Bai Qianning, am not a person who doesn't know how to repay the favor, if you have anything you want, you can put it forward, I can do it without refusal." ”
"You just went in?"
Zhan Qianche directly ignored the promise she had sworn behind her, and her narrow eyes showed a touch of gold in the reflection of the firelight, but they quickly disappeared, and only sighed lightly and said, "That's it!" What do you see? ”
"Huh? Didn't ......."
Listening to the meaning of Zhan Qianche's words, there is really any ulterior secret under the secret room, Bai Qianning has the heart to die, and he really can't open which pot to mention, and he is in a hurry to find death! She is defenseless now, if Zhan Qianche wants to kill her mouth, isn't it the same as pinching an ant to death?
Thinking of this, Bai Qianning hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's too dark inside, I haven't even gone down the ladder, Rao is there is a secret below, and I haven't seen it, you can ask Xiao Douding about this, this kid won't lie to you." ”
Saying this, Bai Qianning secretly slandered in his heart: Didn't you say that you can hide through the back door?
How could Zhan Qianche know these words in her heart, seeing that her expression was a little frightened, she knew that it was the truth, and only replied casually with the word "oh", and said: "It's okay to go down, it's just some wandering spirits, and they can't hurt people." ”
"Uh...... Yes? ”
Bai Qianning suddenly felt a chill in her back, and asked tremblingly, "You, wandering spirit?" ”
Half of the blood on an already malnourished face disappeared in an instant, and she would definitely not believe it if someone said that she was wronged, and she could still rush to form a group to explore the danger, but these words came out of the mouth of Zhan Qianche, who had a cold face for ten thousand years, but it was full of chill.
Not to mention the wandering ghosts, even if he said that the Yama Hall was below, she would believe it, after all, this world is too strange to herself, and everything still needs to be explored.
"Mother, is the quail roasted?"
Xiao Douding didn't know when he had already stood beside her with the little fox in his arms, and with one sentence, Bai Qianning's already frightened three souls went to two and a half souls, and it took a while to wake up.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhan Qianche's voice sounded in his ears.
"It's rare to see you so afraid, I'm just joking."
Zhan Qianche was not good at communicating with women, and now he was explaining with a little apology. But there is a cold aura like Yama in his eyes, but when he hears it in his ears, he can't tell the truth from the fake.
Bai Qian stared at his eyes that went deep into the cold pool, but he unconsciously scolded in his heart: I believe you are a ghost, you are a bad old man, very bad!
Yu Guang skimmed the direction of the room, but shivered unconsciously.
Then he quickly retracted his gaze, picked up the quail on the grill and stuffed a string into Zhan Qianche and Xiaodouding's hands, and sent the remaining string into his mouth, avoiding the fear in his heart by gnawing on the quail.
And Zhan Qianche saw her like this, but there was a faint smile on his face, the ghost he was referring to was the soul under the knife killed by the red flame sword lying in the secret room, counting the ten years on the battlefield, the enemy soldiers who died under his sword were not tens of thousands, but also seven or eight thousand.
If there are really ghosts and gods in this world, I am afraid that the secret room the size of half an acre of land will not be able to fit it.
This secret room was first in the village when he spent three months to get out, the back of the house is connected to the mountain, most of the secret room is buried under the mountain, the secret passage extends in all directions like a labyrinth, there are also three exits, one of which leads to Chechi County on the other side of the mountain.
The reason why he bothered to dig the secret passage at that time was just to save his life at a critical moment, but since the secret room was built, life has been peaceful for three years, so he has hardly gone down the secret passage, and even the Red Flame Sword, which he once never left, has not seen the light of day for many years.
The reason why he looked strange was because he was worried that Bai Qianning would shake things out, but now that he saw this woman so afraid of the secret room, he could rest assured.
Looking at Bai Qianning's appearance of gnawing on quails, Zhan Qianche retracted his expression, tore off a quail leg and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as the tip of the tongue touches the meat, a unique burnt aroma spreads in the mouth.
At this moment, Xiaodouding, who also took a bite of quail, suddenly shouted vaguely with meat in his mouth: "It's so fragrant!" ”
After speaking, he also carried the quail on the skewer around the courtyard by the way, and the little rice balls ran behind her, so hungry that they flowed all over the ground, squeaking and squeaking.
The courtyard was wrapped in a quilt, and the Zhao family, who were originally drowsy because it was too cold, was woken up by this sound.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I smelled the smell of barbecue wafting all over the yard, and I turned over and got up one by one to look into the courtyard.
"Mother, it's so fragrant!"
Zhao Daniu really lived up to the title of the gluttonous woman in the village, and after sighing, she swallowed saliva and desperately sucked the fragrance wafting out of the courtyard, as if she had been snatched away by her father and sister after inhaling the fragrance slowly.
"Mother, I want to eat too! Today, the steamed bun is cold when I get here, and I didn't eat two bites and let the girl grab it. ”
Zhao Erniu's voice also sounded at the right time, and it was clearly distinguishable in this silent night.
But in Zhao Daniu's ears, it meant the same as scolding her for being a fat pig and a gluttonous woman.
Her Zhao Daniu has always only pursued one principle in her life, that is, she eats to eat, and she is also very fat, but she just doesn't let others say it. Whoever says a fat word in front of her, she can sit on him with a butt!
But everyone in the whole village knows that Zhao Daniu can't be provoked, but her sister Zhao Erniu is the most ignorant of life and death, and she hits the muzzle of the gun every time, and now it's okay, a fist is inevitable again.
"What are you calling for me to rob? I don't know if I'm cold, and I rely on others to eat slowly! ”
Zhao Daniu's fat fist hit Zhao Erniu, and Zhao Erniu's bones, which were not strong enough, were about to fall apart, if it weren't for Liu Cuiping pulling on the side, I was afraid that Zhao Daniu's ass would make her die on the spot.
