Yin Ze once mentioned to Jiang Qi his little sister in his hometown, and Yin Ze said that his little sister is both talented and beautiful, and she is a woman who has nothing in the sky and no earth, and deserves the love of the best man in the world. When Yin Ze said this, Jiang Qi remembered his mother, whom he had never met, and in his master's mouth, his mother was also the most beautiful woman in the world.

Although Jiang Qi was born as a young master, he has been in the mountains for many years, and he has long been unaccustomed to being served by someone. Yue Liang knew that he was unhappy, but he didn't let go, and it wasn't until Jiang Qi complained to him a few times that he acquiesced to him that he could stay alone in the house.

Yue Liang felt that he was still very merciful, as long as Jiang Qi was willing to give in, he could also loosen the reins he was holding, as long as he didn't leave Tsing Yi Mountain.

Jiang Qi arrived at Shuiyun Xiaozhu as before, it was Yue Mingxi who used to come here often, but now it has almost become his exclusive resting place. This time, he did not directly enter the house and slam the door, but instructed the two disciples who followed him: "I am a little tired, I want to rest here for a while, you are guarding the door." If the head of the council comes to me, you will knock at the door and call me. But if he doesn't come, call me again at supper." ”

Qingye and Lai Yu have been following him for many days, knowing that he has lost all his internal strength and can't make much waves, he gradually relaxed his vigilance, and immediately responded: "Yes." ”

After Jiang Qi closed the door, he walked straight to the table and sat down, moved the mechanism under the table with ease, and heard an unexpected sound. Today is the day when Yue Liang is in the front hall to handle the assignment, and this month's accounts and other important matters must be reported to him by his subordinates.

Jiang Qi estimated that he didn't return to the Qingfeng courtyard so quickly, but he didn't dare to delay a little, so he immediately bent down to touch the edge of the pine floor. From the first few investigations, he already knew that there was a small opening on the side of the edge of the floor, which made it easy for him to completely support the floor under the table.

The hut was built on a stone cliff, which was formed almost entirely of stone. Under the pine floor of the table, there was a stone slab of different quality from the stone next to it, and there was nothing further down the stone slab, but a stone hole had been dug out by hand, just enough for an adult man to pass through.

There was no light under the table, and it was not clear how deep it was, Jiang Qi slowly slid his body down the stone cave, and when his waist and abdomen were at the entrance, he felt that his toes were sudden, and he stepped on a horizontal strip-shaped thing. Lifting one foot and moving it back and forth for a moment, he knew in his heart that it was about a step under his feet.

Jiang Qi moved slowly, his body gradually lowered to the ground, and after his head completely entered the stone cave, he was surprised to find that there was actually light in the cave, although it was not bright, but it could barely make him see clearly that he was indeed standing on an iron ladder, and the iron ladder was set up with a stone board, which allowed him to stand on it steadily and climb up and down.

This is a small stone room, there is a "whoosh" sound from the light source, Jiang Qi climbed down the iron ladder, and found that the stone room was almost empty except for a wooden box placed in the corner. Jiang Qi frowned, Yue Mingxi set up this stone room under the hut, and he hadn't revealed any information to himself for many years, so he didn't know what his intentions were.

The stone chamber is simple and rough, and the wooden boxes are placed in the corners haphazardly, not as if valuables are placed. Jiang Qi was going to go out directly, but stopped in front of the wooden box, which was not locked. He thought it would be better to see what was inside, and if there was anything of value, he would take a few with him, he was now penniless, and he would have to ask for some money to escape from here.

When I opened it, I saw that there were some picture scrolls inside, and the picture scrolls were messy, as if they were just thrown into it so casually, and the humidity in the room was extremely heavy, and the picture scrolls were wet and sticky.

Jiang Qi took out a scroll and brought it to a slightly better light, and the unfolded picture was blurred in the faint light, and he could only see that it was a young woman. But it was enough, Jiang Qi's hand holding the scroll couldn't help but tremble slightly, the woman on the painting had a little cinnabar on her eyebrows, and a chic-shaped step was inserted obliquely on her head, which was her mother Jiang Chen.

Jiang Qi has never seen his biological mother, but since he was a child, there has been a portrait of Jiang Chen's family in his home, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows has already been deeply engraved into his heart. At that time, Jiang Pingtian would often hold the young Jiang Qi and sit in front of Jiang Chen's portrait, describing to him the beauty of the woman who made him fall in love at first sight.

Jiang Qi put down the scroll and picked up the other scrolls in the box to see, each one is Jiang Qi's, there are sitting and standing, there are winter and summer, the only thing that remains unchanged is the cinnabar on the tip of the eyebrows. The more you turn down, the rougher the painting skills become, Yue Mingxi is busy with affairs, and it is rare to have time to calm down and paint, this box full of painting scrolls I don't know how many years of accumulated effect.

Jiang Qi hastily flipped through a few pictures, his heartbeat was pounding like a drum, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only cover the box as it was and continue to walk out.

The inside of the stone chamber came out with traces of artificial chiseling, but it gradually changed when you went out, and I thought that the outside part was naturally formed. Jiang Qi quickly saw that the exit was a narrow crack that could accommodate one person, and outside the crack was not only light, but also a fine stream of water.

The crack was slippery, Jiang Qi walked over carefully, and instantly understood that this stone chamber was clearly a cliff crack under the Qingfeng Stream Waterfall. The location of the crack is unique and extremely secretive, and this invisible, cleft from the cliff, avoiding most of the waterfall's current, makes it a perfect place to stay.

I don't know how Yue Mingxi discovered this rift, he actually dug the crack several meters inward, forming a stone chamber.

Jiang Qi walked out of the crack and found that it was only a few meters high from the waterhole below the cliff, and as long as he was careful to stay away from the impact of the waterfall, he could swim safely to the shore. Jiang Qi carefully estimated the distance of the cliff, and now he had no internal strength like an ordinary person, and the water nature was not very good. He looked around carefully, and there was no grass growing on the cliff, and there was no plant that people could cling to.

Jiang Qi looked back at the stone chamber and looked over from the edge of the cliff, where it looked like a monster with its big mouth split. Jiang Qi felt a tingling pain in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, looked at the location under the waterhole, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and jumped down.

The pool water was cold and biting, and Jiang Qi felt that his right foot had touched something hard when he fell into the water, and a tingling pain followed. When he swam to the shore with all his might, he found that his right ankle was so painful that he couldn't stand, and when he reached out to touch it, his heart was cold again, and his ankle was obviously hit on the bottom stone and had been broken.

The waterhole was not a place to stay for a long time, Jiang Qi dragged his injured leg and climbed ashore, cold and painful. He thought with a wry smile, fortunately, he had suffered enough some time ago, and he was no longer the squeamish little boy he was at the beginning.

There was a mess of trees at the edge of the waterhole, and Jiang Qi stood up and pulled a bush branch nearby, barely able to be used as a crutch to support. Although this mountain is only a stone's throw away from the boundary of the Tsing Yi faction, there is no way to the cliff, and no one from the faction has ever been here.

The branches were messy and overgrown with weeds, Jiang Qi was holding the branch that served as a crutch with one hand, and grabbed the trees and vines around him with the other, picking the place where the terrain was slightly flat and the plant gap was large, and moved forward carefully. Once he disappeared into the bushes, Jiang Qi was not too worried that Yue Liang's people would find him, and the biggest problem became his ankles, which barely touched the ground.

But after taking a few steps, it hurt so much that tears rolled in his eyes. Fortunately, he soon spotted a path looming in the bushes, probably formed by the villagers at the foot of the mountain cutting firewood on the mountain. The trail is intermittent, and since the beginning of spring, the villagers need less firewood, and there is no need to go so far to cut firewood.

Jiang Qi carefully identified the path of the path and went down the mountain, as long as someone has been here, it proves that there are people nearby, and there is hope for some people.
