Chapter 049: The Tunnel (2)
The tunnel was pitch black, and there was a rotten smell of sunshine that had not been seen for many years, but since Ahri still had the spirit to wail inside, there should be no poisonous gas.
Thinking of this, Qin Ranran couldn't help but feel worried, she had to educate this little thing who didn't know the height of the sky when she went back, in case there was any poisonous gas in it, would it still have that little life!
Ahri also heard the sound of people moving, and couldn't help but scream even more miserably.
Lu Yi took Qin Ranran and Lu Jiu to run quickly in the direction of Ahri's shouting, and when he saw that he was about to pass through a narrow and winding aisle, Qin Ranran couldn't help frowning.
If Ahri hadn't run here, he wouldn't have come here to see it.
Crossing the hallway, I saw a large field the size of two rooms, and Ahri's voice came from between the jars.
"Meow~" Lu Jiu was afraid that something would be abnormal, so he clenched the iron whip on his waist and walked over slowly.
Pushing a few broken jars aside, a small orange head was pitifully exposed on the ground, and the two front paws were tightly gripping the ground, and when he saw Lu Jiu appear, Ahri was even more excited, and he just wanted to throw himself into Lu Jiu's arms.
Lu Jiu stepped forward, grabbed Ahri's exposed paws, and gently lifted it out.
Seeing that he was rescued, Ahri twisted his body to let Lu Jiu put it on the ground, raised his claws and ran towards Qin Ranran, and returned the aggrieved meow as he ran.
Lu Jiu: ......
Lu Yi walked to the place where Ahri was trapped, poked it with a wooden stick, looked up and said: "The hole is very small, the bottom is empty, and there is gravel on the top, presumably Ahri is covered by gravel......" Speaking of this, Lu Yi suddenly stopped, his expression was a little strange.
"Ma'am, Ahri only ran out this morning, right?"
Qin Ranran nodded: "I just ran out of the door at breakfast time, so ......"
The expressions of the three people became serious at the same time, the tunnel was full of unpaved dirt roads, where did the gravel come from?
Lu Jiu squatted down and looked at the jar, took one of them, and said to Qin Ranran, "Madam, let's go up first, it's not safe here." ”
They were about to return along the way they came, but they saw a figure standing at the entrance of the aisle, quietly watching them.
Lu Yishan stepped forward, blocking in front of Qin Ranran, and Lu Jiu took a step back, vigilant behind him.
The visitor stood quietly for a while, and then suddenly said, "What is Madame doing here?" ”
Qin Ranran's heart beat violently, it was the voice of Mr. Ma!
"I came to look for Ahri, and when I heard it barking here, I took Lu Yi and Lu Jiu down to have a look." She raised the cat in her hand and said.
There was no emotion in Mr. Ma's voice: "Found it now?" ”
Qin Ranran hugged Ahri into his arms: "I found it, I was about to go out, why is Manager Ma here?" ”
"I wandered around the yard for a while and noticed a hole in it, so I walked in and took a look. Now that Madame has found the cat, let's go out quickly, who knows what it's up to. Mr. Ma turned to the side and stood aside.
Lu Jiu stretched out his hand to support Qin Ranran, and took a few steps forward with a smile: "Then Mr. Ma, let's go out together, it's dark here, and it's weird and scary." ”
In the dark, I only saw Chief Manager Ma's head, Lu Jiu took Qin Ranran to walk in front, and Lu Yi followed behind him to prevent Chief Manager Ma from suddenly breaking out.
When approaching the entrance of the cave, Lu Jiu was even more careful, for fear that when he walked out of the cave and couldn't see clearly, someone would come out and sneak attack.
"It seems that this cat is still too kind to it, and I should have strangled it in the first place." The voice of the manager sounded at the moment when he was about to step out of the hole.
Lu Yi immediately turned around, and the dagger he took out of nowhere was already aimed at Manager Ma's throat.
Lu Jiu took Qin Ranran back a few steps and re-disappeared into the darkness to prevent someone from sneaking up outside.
"I still underestimated the skills of a few secret guards." Manager Ma looked surprised, he looked down at the dagger against his throat, and cold sweat was oozing faintly from his forehead. I secretly scolded myself for being too careless.
He didn't dare to disobey the orders from above, he thought that today's matter was nine out of ten, but he didn't expect Lu Cheng'an to leave Lu Yi, the leader of the secret guard and his own lieutenant, to Qin Ranran, and he didn't expect that the arrogant martial artist would look at a weak woman.
"Madame is also a good means, the dignified leader and deputy general of the secret guard will also bow down under Madame's skirt." Mr. Ma sneered.
Lu Yi was unmoved, but just sent the dagger forward by another inch, piercing the fragile neck skin: "If you don't want to die quickly, shut up." ”
Lu Jiu whispered to Qin Ranran, "Madam, look outside. ”
Qin Ranran's eyes swept over the shadows looming in the sun, and stabilized her mind: "Let's go back first, there are people outside." ”
Red Sleeves stood outside the main room and waited for a while with the account book sent in by the outside steward, but still didn't see Qin Ranran come back, feeling a little strange in his heart, he waved to Tuanzi and said: "Tuanzi, you go to the courtyard to see if you can find Madame, if Madame is busy, you don't need to call her, come back and tell me." ”
Tuanzi was the youngest among the ten maids in the main courtyard, and the rest took good care of her, and when she saw that Sister Redsleeve had something to tell her to do it, she suddenly bent her eyes happily and ran out in a hurry.
Soon after the group left the main courtyard, the main courtyard was surrounded by several strange families, gathered all the maids together, and guarded the courtyard gate with knives.
The group who walked to the courtyard looked at the fierce and vicious strange faces that appeared in front of him, and hid behind the pillars in some fear, not knowing what was happening, but seeing them using knives to force the maids in the house to go in the direction they came from, they were anxious and scared.
"Where's Mr. Ma?" One of them hurriedly asked, "I finally figured out a way to lure Lu Er out, what should I do next?" ”
"Who knows where he went, these eunuchs just can't be trusted!" The other replied with a nonchalant face.
Tuanzi was so scared that her whole body trembled, she knew Lu Er, who was very powerful in front of the general and his wife, and if he was led away, then these people must not be good people, what should I do?
I don't know where Mother Liu and Sister Mai Sui are, if you find them, there will definitely be a way!
Thinking of this, she slowly walked in the direction of the main courtyard with the help of the railing and the cover of the trees.
When she walked behind the tree outside the main courtyard and saw the person with a knife standing at the gate of the main courtyard, her heart slowly cooled, and then she saw the familiar or unfamiliar faces trapped in the courtyard, except for Mrs. and Sister Lu Jiu, the rest of them were all ......
The little heart was instantly filled with despair.
