Text Chapter 107 Room up and room down
Yan Xiaowei felt that the cold sweat of the bean was slowly flowing down her forehead, and it flowed into her eyes in an instant.
Full of astringency and stinging pain forced her to keep blinking, she hurriedly wiped her eyes with her cuffs, and when she looked down along the gap again, Aunt Liu walked down from the bed at some point, wearing a white middle coat and pants that made her doubly weak, but her eyes were sharp and difficult.
Her head tilted slightly: "What?" Do you want me to go up and pick you up myself? ”
Yan Xiaowei was stunned, but quickly calmed down.
She cleared her throat: "Uh, please wait for me, Auntie, I'll go down!" ”
Aunt Liu seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyebrows frowned. He whispered, "Wait a minute, don't come in through the front door, go down from the roof and look for the back of the house, come in through the back door!" ”
As he spoke, he put his hands on the wall and walked out of her sight.
Yan Xiaoyu took a deep breath, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart, I don't know how this Aunt Liu found out and why she asked herself to go down.
However, her whole body has been caught by her, and no matter what, she will go down and meet her for a while!
She climbed down from the roof with her hands and feet in the direction of the back of the house, the house was very high, and she was hesitant to go down when she came up, but at this time, sitting on the eaves, she carefully observed and found that the bluestone bricks on the wall behind the house seemed to have been deliberately removed by someone, just suitable for putting her feet, and climbing down little by little like rock climbing.
When her feet landed on the grass, she realized that there was cold sweat on the palms of her hands, but she didn't care about these now, and her eyes followed Aunt Liu's words and searched the whole wall behind her for the back door of her mouth. However, looking at it, there are the same bluestone bricks in the back, where is the door?
She clenched her hands into empty fists and tapped around the walls as she went, trying to find something from the bricks.
Sure enough, when she leaned over and knocked on a brick on the lower right, she found that the sound here was hollow, and she carefully knocked along the brick as the center, along the surrounding area, and sure enough, she found a square hollow about four feet high and three feet wide.
She reached out and pushed in the hollow space, only to find that nothing had changed.
"Huh? It's weird! She couldn't help but tilt her head, if there was a door, it must be here, but why didn't she react no matter how much she pushed?
Now, if she was seen by others, she would definitely die of laughter! I can't go through the bright door in front of me, but I'm nesting here to get this unknown secret door! She couldn't help sighing, she knew that she had just asked Aunt Liu on the roof to clarify something, why bother with it, she didn't have a clue now!
She turned her hand, stiff and sore from the exertion, and suddenly saw a pile of sand in the corner of the outer wall. Hurriedly walked over and held a handful of dry sand in the palm of his hand. Then, half-squinting, he moved his hands holding the sand as he blew the sand onto the hollow bluestone wall.
Suddenly, the sand in her hands was blown off, and she gently patted her hands twice and wiped the sand on her hands indiscriminately. With his eyes narrowed, he walked around the square hollow area, and suddenly found that under the fine sand, there were two places where the floating ash had been imprinted with a handprint. She pressed the two handprints and pulled the two bluestone bricks slightly, and suddenly it seemed as if she had touched some secret mechanism, and the square place was suddenly pushed in, revealing a doorway that could only accommodate the size of a person.
She leaned in and put her head in, only to see a deep darkness in front of her. She hesitated for a moment, and finally got in.
Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she got in, the wall behind her suddenly turned, and the door disappeared again with a "bang", and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
It was still sunny outside, but at this moment she suddenly walked into this dark place, and her eyes seemed to be blind, and she couldn't see anything clearly. She licked the corners of her dry lips, nervously touched the surroundings with her two hands, and slowly probed her feet downward.
It was a passage-like place, surrounded by walls and rough scrapers. Her feet were like stairs, one block at a time, and she pursed her lips and walked carefully down the stairs to the bottom.
"Knock knock", like the sound of footsteps, and like the sound of her restless heartbeat.
Since her eyes had never been able to see, she didn't know how many meters she had gone down.
There was only one thought in her mind, what did this Aunt Liu want to tell her, to call her to such a strange place? Don't you want to kill people?
Thinking of this possibility, her pores suddenly became terrified.
She cleared her throat and asked cautiously as she walked down, "Aunt Liu?" Where are you? ”
Some hoarse female voices came from below: "Below, you just keep walking down." ”
Her tone was calm, not like she was annoyed or angry, or crazy, Yan Xiaoyi's heart was a lot more relaxed, but she still didn't dare to be completely relieved.
Finally, a faint light came out of her eyes, and her eyes had somewhat adapted to the environment, so she walked a few steps briskly.
The small passage in front of me turned around, and the front suddenly opened up. With just a quick glance, Yan Xiaowei was stunned by the scene that her eyes touched!
It is a huge basement surrounded by wooden bookshelves filled with all kinds of books. It may be new or old, with paper and bamboo slips. There is a deep pit of about six or seven zhang on the ground in the middle, which is filled with water, Yan Xiaowei clearly saw that there was a lotus flower growing in the pit, the huge round leaves were floating on the water surface, and a huge pink bud was gently swaying.
There is not even sunlight in this, how did this lotus flower grow so well?
In the lotus pond, which is not big or small, there are even two koi fish!
On the edge of the lotus pond, a pair of old sandalwood carved tables and chairs are placed, and a copper incense burner is placed on the table, which is exuding a curling fragrance.
Here, it's more like a private study than a dark room.
She was still in a daze, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in her ears, Yan Xiaowei raised her eyes and saw that Aunt Liu was wearing a thin coat on her shoulders and holding a book in her hand and was dodging out from behind the bookshelf.
When she saw Yan Xiaoyi, she bent her lips, and her face did not have the heartbreak on her face when she was with Aunt Li or Yan's father.
Yan Xiaoyi's brisk expression puzzled, but she only moved slightly in her heart, and it didn't appear on the surface.
Aunt Liu glanced at her and said lightly: "I didn't expect that there was such a smart person as you in this Yan Mansion, and I really found it with my vague two words!" ”
Without waiting for Yan Xiaoyi to answer, she leaned lazily on the chair, and her slender fingers lazily drew a circle in the dark room: "How am I here?" ”
Yan Xiaoyan saw that although she was pale, she was not as dying as she imagined, she frowned slightly and took two steps forward, standing in front of her: "Auntie, are you okay?" ”
Aunt Liu's phoenix eyes raised slightly, and she smiled mockingly: "What, you also want me to have something?" ”
"Also"? Yan Xiaowei bit her lip to avoid this seemingly sharp but actually non-nutritious question, and asked her straight to the point: "What did you call me here for?" ”
Aunt Liu raised one hand and put it on the table, and bent one index finger to trace it unconsciously on the engraving on the edge of the table: "If I'm not mistaken, it was you who climbed on my roof to peep and threw dead rats into my medicine bowl." Shouldn't I be the one who asks the question? ”
Her index finger suddenly stopped, and she retracted it in front of her, her hands folded. looked at Yan Xiaowei and said, "Say, why are you sneaky?" ”
Yan Xiaowei blinked innocently: "I didn't sneak around, I lost the title deed, I thought that I had only been to my aunt here in the morning and came to look for it, but I heard that Feng Zhai's door was locked, I was afraid that knocking on the door would disturb my aunt's rest, so I had no choice for a while, so I quietly climbed to the roof, planning to take a look at my aunt's room to see if there was a title deed and leave." Absolutely nothing else! ”
Aunt Liu listened, her slender eyelashes blinked twice, and Yan Xiaoyun couldn't help but say when she saw that she didn't react: "What I said is true!" ”
Aunt Liu smiled lightly, her white hand reached into the cuffs and touched it, took out a thin piece of paper, and spread it out on the table. Then he nodded with his chin: "This is the title deed you are looking for?" ”
Yan Xiaowei took a step forward, squinted her eyes, and saw her name falling next to the red seal under the title deed. Because he has never written calligraphy since he came to ancient times, it is crooked, like a few fried caterpillars crawling on rice paper, and he was laughed at by Rong Xiu's guy for this.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand and wanted to get the title deed back, but Aunt Liu held it down at a faster speed.
Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but smile lightly: "Auntie, what are you doing here?" I heard that a few years ago, my father used the silver reward given by the emperor to open a bookstore on East Street, and your name can be on the title deed. Although Nadong Street is not a prime location in the market, it is close to the mansions of princes and ministers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place of gold. I'm afraid I can't get into your eyes, right? ”
Aunt Liu's phoenix eyes were half-narrowed, and a streamer flashed in her eyes: "Heh, people in this mansion say that Miss Yan Er is still a child, and she has no backer for her early mother, but in my opinion, you are a little fox in sheep's clothing, and no one in this mansion is as shrewd as you!" ”
Yan Xiaowei lowered her head, her eyes were level with Aunt Liu who was sitting on the chair, but the hand holding the title deed was never withdrawn. The tone was modest, but there was no hypocrisy at all: "Auntie, you have won the award, Xiao Cun is just doing her best to live well, if you are shrewd, how can you compare to your aunt, even if you are lying on the bed, you know that Xiao Cumin is on the roof, it is like having a pair of eyes on her head, it is really admirable." ”
Aunt Liu also looked back at her with interest: "I just saw your reflection on the bronze mirror next to the wardrobe, and I am not shrewd." ”
She also put her other arm on the table, tilted her head slightly, and looked like an angler waiting for the fish to take the bait: "Don't worry, I will give you this title deed." However, you have to explain the ins and outs of the matter! ”
