Chapter 434: Empathy
Before I could figure out why, a faint layer of white smoke suddenly came out around the wall, and then the entire wall began to retreat, until it withdrew two or three meters before slowly stopping, and in this new two or three meters of space, two pitch-black doorways quietly appeared on the left and right walls.
Seeing this situation, I was very happy that I didn't tear down the wall just now, otherwise even if I did dig through the wall, I would definitely not be able to find the doorway on both sides; The worry is that there is a fork in the road here, we don't have any clues now, we don't know where to go, and the only option we have now is to divide the two ways.
Kiko and I looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, she said directly, "I'll go to the left." ”
With that, Kiko walked to the door opening on the left, and I hurriedly grabbed her and whispered, "Don't worry, at least you have to know what's going on behind it, right?" ”
Kiko smiled bitterly: "That's right, but how do you know if you don't go in?" ”
I was about to speak, when there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor behind me, Kiko glanced at me and asked in a low voice, "Is that the Liu family?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be," I shook my head, pricked up my ears for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "It's fat!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a chubby figure ran out of the corner of the corridor, and as soon as he appeared, he raised his hand in front of his nose and shouted, "! What the hell does this smell like? Are you cooking here? ”
"you! There are still girls here! Be careful when you speak! I laughed and cursed, and saw that Hao Jian was followed by an emaciated figure, and the flashlight shone upwards to see that it was Miao Xingren.
When I met acquaintances in this kind of place, I was overjoyed and vaguely felt a little pity, only Hao Jian and Miao Xingren appeared, it seems that Yuanbao and Master are not going to help us.
"How did you get in?" I asked, confused, "Didn't you wait outside for news?" ”
Miao Xingren yawned and didn't squeak, Hao Jian pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and nose, and said angrily: "What else do you say!" Lao Tzu was waiting outside and was about to get moldy and there was no news, and I thought you were all dead, and I was about to share my luggage with this skinny monkey and go home, but the kid surnamed Liu came out of nowhere and said that you needed help, and then he drew us a picture, and we followed the route he said. ”
I nodded after listening, he was still far away when I heard Liu Jinzhong's footsteps before, but the time of the two sentences came to the front, and I suspected that there must be a shortcut hidden in these corridors, but then I was so disturbed by the broken arm that I didn't have the heart to ask, and now Liu Jinzhong just went out and Hao Jian came in not long ago, and I can basically make my guess formal.
However, it doesn't matter to us whether there is a shortcut or not now, so I just went through the thought for a while and didn't pay attention to it, pointed to the two holes on the left and right, and said, "We may have to divide the army into two ways now, what do you think?" ”
Hao Jian looked depressed: "What do you mean?" Just meeting and about to separate? ”
"I'm afraid so," I nodded with a wry smile, and then said with a straight face: "But don't worry, at least there are four of us now, and if there is any danger on either side, a group of two can still have a care." ”
Hao Jian laughed when he heard this, and said to Kiko and Miao Xingren: "It's all nonsense, look at who can take care of these two goods?" Don't you still have to take the lead with our brothers! ”56
Kiko's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was about to curse, so I hurriedly patted Hao Jian in front of her and scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense if you know the situation, which one do you take away?" ”
"Skinny monkey!" Hao Jian raised his chin at Miao Xingren again, then looked back at me and said with a wicked smile: "Lao Tzu's red heart has already belonged to Lily, and this beautiful girl will be left to you!" ”
"Dead fatty! Dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, the old lady tore your mouth! Kiko couldn't help but scold.
Hao Jian rarely didn't talk back, and even ignored Kiko, grabbed my shoulder and gently pinched it twice and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, see you outside!" ”
"See you outside!" I nodded heavily and replied, after all, they are brothers for so many years, and many times they don't need to say too much, one look is enough.
After exchanging glances, Hao Jian didn't talk nonsense, as soon as he pulled Miao Xingren up, he got into the hole on the right, I looked at the remaining hole on the left, and looked at Kiko with a chuckle: "I didn't expect to let you get your wish, then the lady first, right?" ”
Kiko gave me a blank look: "Keep up and don't fall behind." ”
"Where did the two of you come from?"
I sneered and followed Kiko into the hole, and found that it was much drier and more spacious than I had imagined, with a width and height of two meters away, and the walls on both sides were carved with trapezoidal grooves embedded in the keel.
Walking along the passage, soon we came to an empty room, this room is about fifty or sixty square meters, there are no windows and no doors, except for the door opening we came out, the other walls including the ceiling are neatly spliced wooden boards, but the floor here is a material similar to bluestone slabs, this is the first time I have seen a material other than wood in an ancient building.
But judging from the situation in front of us, we should have walked into a dead end, but the appearance of special building materials made me think that this room might not be simple, and Kiko obviously had this idea, so we didn't even have the most basic discussion, so we went our separate ways to look for it in the room.
The fifty or sixty square meters of the room quickly turned around, no surprise there was no discovery, but the more this is the case, the more I feel that something is wrong, when the Liu family built the ancient building, even every detail was highly restored, it is impossible to build a room here that looks suspicious, so there must be some secrets hidden here, but we have not found it yet.
Kiko was obviously much more careful than me when searching, and even carefully observed every crack in the plank, but even then she still didn't find anything, so I asked her to go to the side to rest first, and then she stood in the middle of the room and began to empathize, imagining what kind of way I would hide things in such a room if I were the Liu family.
The most special thing in this room should be the bluestone slab on the ground, but with the character of the Liu family, will they put the clues in such an obvious place? The answer is no, so the real clues should be those inconspicuous places, and do things in places that no one will notice, which is in line with the consistent tone of the Liu family.
Thinking to myself, my eyes searched the room as well, but soon I felt a little like giving up, because this room was so empty that I could see every place at a glance, which made every place less remarkable...... Wait a minute! Humble!
A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I suddenly remembered a place that we had been ignoring since we entered the room!
