Chapter 20: The Secret of the Treasure

Slowly, the summer night adjusts to the dark environment of the cavern. She wriggled around and found that her ass was full of rocks, and she fumbled for a sharper piece of rope that bound her handsβ€”she didn't want to sit still.

When she was grinding hard, she suddenly heard a 'ding zero bang' in a dark corner, like the sound of metal colliding, but when she listened carefully, she couldn't hear anything, as if it was just her illusion. So Summer Night continued to do her work of escaping from prison, but at this moment, the voice sounded again, this time clearer than the last time, there could be no mistake, there must be something in that corner.

"Oh no, could it be a wild bear, or a wild wolf! No, I'm going to speed up. Summer Night imagined all possible terrible scenes in her mind, and her hands sped up, and after a while, her hands were freed.

She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and quickly untied the rope from her feet, and then stood up, pressed against the wall of the cave, and slowly felt towards the place where the sound came from. She smelled a smell of excrement, which grew stronger the closer she got, and thought: sure enough, there is a beast trapped here. So I hesitated, why did I have to see what kind of monster it was, at this time, it was better to escape from the dry well first.

Thinking of this, Xia Ye turned around and was about to leave, when a weak voice came: "You, don't go?" ”

Xia Ye was startled, his body retreated sharply, leaned against the cave wall and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

There was suddenly silence again.

"If you don't say I'll go out." The summer night is about to leave.

"Ho, why not, for."

"Why not?"

"Exactly, down there."

"You, where?" The summer night is blank in the dim stone cave.

"You move forward."

Xia Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to figure it out, if this person wanted to harm herself, she could have done it when her hands and feet were tied just now.

It was dark in the cavern, and I didn't know how big it was, and the summer night groped past the sound, and walked about ten steps, when suddenly I kicked something my foot, making a 'choking' and screeching sound.

"Oops." Summer Night heard a voice and snorted in pain above his head.

"Found you." The summer night went up the chain.

"Don't touch it." Why not shout nervously for the suddenness.

Summer Night hurriedly retracted her hand.

"They locked my lute bone, and when I touched it, it hurt terribly."

When I read the novel before Xia Ye, I knew that the martial arts masters in those books would lose their martial arts as soon as they were locked up in the pipa bone, and even if they were rescued, they would have to recover for a long time. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

"Why did they do this to you?"

He Buwei was silent for a moment and said, "They want to know a secret from my mouth, a big secret." ”

"What's the secret?" Summer nights are sometimes heartless, like a curious baby.

"Why, the girl is also interested in knowing?" He Buwei's tone suddenly lacked mockery.

Xia Ye realized something, pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Who is rare." ”

"Girl, they put it in on purpose, right? These people, who can't force me to open their mouths with torture, want to send a spy to trick me, hum, why don't I tell you that this heart is dead because I'm not a three-year-old child! He didn't seem to be convinced of his own ideas.

Hearing this man's self-righteous conjecture, Xia Ye shook his head helplessly, and said, "But you yourself told me not to leave, since you suspect that I am a spy, you can rest assured when you leave." After speaking, he turned around suddenly, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and stepped on an iron chain with a loud sound.

Why not take a deep breath in pain, but hold back and keep silent.

Xia Ye couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, and her intuition told her that Chai Laosan was definitely not a good person, thinking that since this person was locked up here by him and had been so miserable, he should not be a bad person. The reason why he doubted her was also because he was wary of Chai Laosan, Xia Ye felt that it was not worth bothering with him, so it was better to save him and run together, which could be regarded as a lesson for Chai Laosan.

Thinking of this, Xia Ye groped his hands along the chain, trying to find the hook that pierced the pipa bone.

"Oh, you vicious stinky girl, kill me, see how you explain to Chai Laosan!" Why don't you think that Xia Ye deliberately tortured him, and he was so angry that he scolded.

Xia Ye was already angry that he was wronged, and now he was scolded again, and he couldn't help but reply: "I'm saving you, can't you bear this pain and still be a man?" As he spoke, he deliberately tugged heavily on the chain with his hand.

"Ahh

Summer Night secretly screamed badly, thinking to himself, could it be that he had passed out?

"Hey, hey." Summer Night reached out and patted him in the face.

After a while, a weak voice finally sounded faintly, "Girl, he is living very comfortably here, so I won't bother to save the girl." ”

Xia Ye saw that he was fine, so she let go of her heart, and at this time, she had already touched the big hook that locked his pipa bone, so she desperately pushed He Buwei's body up, trying to take his shoulders off the hook. However, her height was not enough, and why not be light for a big man, so she tried several times and failed.

Every time, it hurts so much that why not scold: "Chai Laosan, you bastard, despicable villain." Stinky girl, stop me, or I'll bite my tongue and kill myself, so that the secret of the treasure will always be with me. ”

Seeing that he scolded more and more fiercely, Xia Ye thought that this was not a solution, first, it would only increase his pain, and secondly, it would not be good if this movement attracted Chai Laosan. Besides, why not think of herself as smart and have a high personality, since she doesn't know what to do, she doesn't want to be a villain in vain.

"Okay, stop scolding, I'll go."

Summer Night was really angered by him this time, thinking that you deserved to be pierced through the lute bone, turned around and drilled into the hole, and rushed forward without looking back, just as she was about to drill out of the cross to the bottom of the dry well, she suddenly bumped into a person, and both of them took a step back in fright at the same time.

"Leaf, it's me!" The man recognized the summer night first, and hurriedly whispered.

Xia Ye heard Cen Qiang's voice, and was about to ask, but he covered his mouth with one hand, pushed her upside down, and still pushed her back into the stone cave.

"What?" As soon as he entered the stone cave, Cen Qiang let go of his hand, and Xia Ye asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Shhhh I begged for a while, and gave him a piece of silver before I came down to see you. ”

"There's no escape." Xia Ye was a little disappointed, and suddenly asked Cen Qiang hopefully, "Are you here to save me?" ”

Cen Qiang snorted and said: "This, this, today is not a good time, I took advantage of Chai Laosan's drunken pig to come to see you, I will go up in a while, otherwise it will not be good to be discovered, it is not good to say that even I will be locked up here, and then everyone will really have no hope of escaping." ”

"And what are you going to do down here?" Summer Night couldn't help but complain.

"Oh, this, hey, there's something I haven't had time to say above, I must explain it to you."

"What?"

"Do you remember when I told you to save someone?"

"That's right."

"It's the man in the cave."

"It's him!" She didn't expect this, so she suddenly smiled and said to Cen Qiang, "But he seems reluctant to leave here." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cen Qiang didn't know what to do.

So Xia Ye told him about the fact that he wanted to save him just now, but he scolded him so bloody.

Cen Qiang listened quietly, and said after a while: "You don't have to worry about him, just open the lock on the hook that locks his pipa bone, and when the time comes, I will naturally help you rescue him together." ”

"Uncle Qiang, can you tell me why you are so enthusiastic about saving him?" Summer Night couldn't help but ask.

"This, he once saved my life."

Xia Ye listened to this sentence so perfunctory, but she also understood in her heart that Cen Qiang didn't want to tell her the truth, so he didn't ask anymore, and the two were a little embarrassed for a while.

"Ye Zi, when the time comes, you will naturally understand, you should know, Uncle Qiang will never hide it from you." Cen Qiang felt Xia Ye's dissatisfaction and hurriedly explained a few words.

Xia Yef smiled helplessly, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Uncle Qiang, how do you know that I am the one who handed over the jade screen to Sword Shadow Villa?" ”

"Hehe, I only found out that it was a woman, and I just said nonsense in order to protect you...... Ah, so this person is really you?! ”

At this time, Xia Ye had no choice but to admit it, but she didn't want to entangle, so she quickly changed the topic and said: "By the way, Uncle Qiang, you have a fire fold, it's too dark here, even if I can open the lock, it's not convenient to be so dark." ”

"I've thought of this, here you go." Cen Qiang took out a half-used fire fold from his body and put it in Xia Ye's hand.

At this moment, someone outside shouted: "Bamboo pole, here I am, you can sleep with peace of mind." It was Mazi who deliberately opened his throat to speak, intending to remind Cen Qiang who was in the well.

"Oh no, I'm leaving." Cen Qiang said.

"I'm not deaf, why are you so loud." The bamboo pole seems to be unwilling to be yelled at, and his tone is fierce.

"I'm afraid you're too drunk to hear clearly." Mazi still said loudly.

"You watch me carefully, something happened, see if you can still be so loud." The bamboo pole replied and seemed to walk away.

"Ye Zi, let me tell you, Chai Laosan will definitely come down to ask you about the jade screen in the future, and you will make up some words to perfunctory him, so as to save your life......"

"Meow-meow-" At this time, a cat's meow came from the well, and the two understood that this was Mazi urging Cen Qiang to hurry up.

Cen Qiang walked towards the entrance of the cave, and then turned back to Xia Ye and instructed: "Don't have a hard time with Chai Laosan, I will definitely save you when the time comes." ”

"Meow-meow-"

"Fuck, it's annoying, I'm leaving, you be careful."

"Got it."

After Cen Qiang left, the stone cave suddenly fell silent, but soon he heard someone laughing in the dark on a summer night.

"It's really funny, this play is really wonderful, why don't I see it for the first time in my life, it can be regarded as an eye-opener."

Summer Night blew up the fire and walked up to him, and this time she could see his embarrassed appearance, and saw him like a shabby scarecrow, hung under two large iron hooks, covered in blood and scarred.

"You have today, too." Summer Night changed his kind words and stimulated him.

"Stinky girl, what did you say?" Sure enough, why not react violently.

"Hmph, that day in the Sword Shadow Villa, because Your Excellency framed me for stealing the jade screen, I was imprisoned in the Jiangxia Mansion Prison and suffered a lot, do you think this is the current world newspaper?"

"Hmph, many people have seen the scene that day, how to prove that you are that girl." He still didn't believe her.

Xia Ye really couldn't cry or laugh, and he had the intention to ignore him, but Cen Qiang wanted her to be this person, if he didn't believe in himself, it would be difficult to save him. So, she only patiently explained: "That's right, in fact, that jade stone screen is indeed not mine, but it was not stolen by me, but picked up by accident." One night, a man in black sneaked into an old wing room in Onhyoin and sneakily dug something out of a crack in the wall, but when he was about to escape, he was stopped by a man wearing a silver mask, and during the fight, the thing accidentally fell to the ground......"

"It's really you." Why don't you finally turn a corner.

"That's right, the person who picked up the black package that night was me, how could I know Chai Laosan, if I were his gang, I would have handed over the jade screen to him a long time ago."

Why don't you stare at Xia Ye silently for a while, and finally ask in a dumb voice, "Why are you locked up here?" ”

"Because Chai Laosan thinks I know the secret of the treasure in the screen." In fact, I don't know anything about the secret of the jade screen on a summer night, and I just heard that the treasure didn't leak out of her mouth, and she is now learning and selling.

The iron chain suddenly 'banged', why not stared at the summer night in surprise, and suddenly laughed in the middle of the night: "It's okay, it seems that this secret can't be kept sooner or later, the kid who asked you to save me, I'm afraid I know it, okay!" I'll just tell you. ”

Summer night tries to make herself look calm.

"Girl, what's your name?"

"Summer night."

"Well, well, at least I know who I told the secret." Why don't you take a deep breath and start to get straight to the point, "There are three pieces of this jade screen, and there is a pattern engraved on them, revealing the location of a great treasure, all of which are indispensable. ”

"Oh, no wonder you had to take out the other two pieces that day."

"Exactly, that day, He Mou's hand was quick and he extended a picture, Chai Laosan didn't know where to know the secret of this jade screen, and he wanted to take away the treasure map on my body. Because He was injured by Lu Ruhai's poisonous needle that day, he took advantage of the situation, and Shi secretly arrested me and locked me here, but unfortunately he didn't find the rubbing map on my body. Hehe, because someone has already given it to someone credible. ”

"It turns out that there is really a big treasure!" The summer night smacked his tongue secretly.
