Chapter 294 Weeds, wells, secret passages, and dark passages

It is said that the soybean crawled out from under the firewood, came to the window and peeked at the officers and soldiers in the distance, and was about to turn to leave, when two reflections appeared on the ground, holding steel knives and approaching him.

Huang Dou turned around with a frightened face, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and he couldn't imagine that this official army had just walked a short distance, and who were these two figures behind him? This looked back and didn't matter, but a smile appeared on his face.

It turned out that these two people were not the enemy army just now, but the Orion Black Mountain who followed him to chase and kill the official army, and the original Xicheng guard was waiting for the peak is also!

"How could it be you? I thought it was the single officer and soldier just now, where did you come from? They were looking everywhere just now, and they were so worried! Huang Dou put away the dagger in his hand, looked at the two and asked with a smile.

It turned out that this soybean was murderous, and he didn't care about the dissuasion of the generals at all, and in desperation, Hou Feng knocked him out from behind, and helped him to prepare to break out.

"General Hou! I see that there are officers and soldiers everywhere, and this kind of walking is too eye-catching, so why don't I lead people to lure them away, and you can go into this courtyard to take refuge!" Orion Black Mountain pointed to the door in front of the alley and said to the peak of the West City guard.

"It's okay too! This western city is full of chasing officers and soldiers, and it seems that they have to avoid their edge first, and stay until the dead of night to sneak back to the inner city, remember to throw them off and come to this courtyard to assemble. Hou Fengfeng hugged the soybean and knocked on the door of the courtyard.

"Who? This army is in chaos, there are murderous officers and soldiers everywhere, who is so desperate? If you dare to walk on the street, aren't you afraid of being treated as a rebel? An old man in this house, on crutches, slowly came to the door and looked out through the doorway.

"Old man? We are the Red Turban Army who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and we had no choice but to fall for the conspiracy of the official army, and now we want to hide in your courtyard for a while, I hope you can help. Hou Fengfeng carried the soybean's arm and said anxiously.

"Alas! In the troubled times, the people have suffered, you are fighting back and forth, and in the end we will suffer, for the sake of helping the poor, let you come in and hide for the time being! Remember! If this army leaves you, you must go. The old man on crutches opened the door and spoke to Hou Feng.

"Don't worry, we all know that! Then thank you to the old man," Hou Feng supported the soybeans and entered the courtyard.

"Come with me! Let's go to the deserted firewood house next door! It's next to the hall, so I'll let you know what's going on. The old man turned to the front of the backyard door on crutches, and pushed the door behind the door to be overgrown with weeds, and a few upright bamboo poles were particularly conspicuous.

The old man took Hou Fengfeng and the two of them to this bamboo pole, which was entwined with vines, and when he walked in, he saw that it was full of cucumbers, and he couldn't help but be a little greedy.

The old man came to the bamboo pole, and after looking left and right, he pulled out the two bamboo poles and moved the dense vines one by one.

It turned out that inside the bamboo pole, the old man pushed away the vines and weeds, and a well appeared on the ground, with a circular edge on the outside, and a square well mouth inside, covered with damp moss.

"See this, right? This is the entrance and exit, leading directly to the firewood room, which is full of dust, and it is easier for others to believe that there is no one inside, and it is inconvenient for me to be old and old, so I can only send you here, you better go down first, and then I will use the well rope to drop the unconscious person, and then camouflage the outside, they will naturally not notice. The old man coughed twice on crutches and pointed to the mouth of the well.

For this old man's words, Hou Fengfeng was skeptical at the moment, and walked to the wellhead to look down, and there was a pitch black below.

"Old man! Is this a dry well or a well? I see that it's covered with damp moss, and there must be well water underneath, right? Hou Feng waved his hand to touch the moss on the edge of the well, turned his head to the old man and asked.

"No, no! There used to be water below, and then there was no way for the court, and the people were displaced from all over the country, and the well dried up, and then I was surprised to find that there was a secret passage at the bottom of the well, and the last way to find it, actually led to the firewood house next to it, originally thought that the ancestors would leave something valuable, and turned over and over to find it to no avail, so I had to dispel the thoughts in my heart. The old man stroked his white beard and said with a smile on his face.

"I see? So there is a single passage to the firewood house? It should be a relatively hidden hiding place, I'll go down first, and wait for you to hang people down for me! Hou Feng lifted his trouser leg and shirt tightened around his waist, grasping the edge of the well and preparing to climb down.

"Hahaha! You're not entirely right, there's more than one secret passage here, I haven't walked through the others, the wind is blowing in it, and you can hear the ghost crying wolf, you remember to walk along the white-powdered passage on the stone wall, otherwise I'm afraid that you have a life to go down, and you don't have a life to come up, but don't blame me for not being kind enough to remind you. The old man threw away his crutches, tied the well rope around the waist of the soybean, and said to the peak of the climb.

"Got it, got it!" Hou Feng looked up at the old man, who was holding the body of the soybean high and slowly lowered it towards the well.

Hou Feng fell to the bottom of the well, watched the soybeans being slowly put down, reached out to catch his body, and slowly and leisurely landed on the ground.

Hou Feng untied the rope, only to find that there was a hole next to the bottom of the cave, and a torch was thrown down from it, holding the soybean in one hand and walking towards it with the torch in the other.

Only then did he walk a distance of about ten paces, and sure enough, several holes appeared inside, and there were indeed gusts of wind inside, mixed with deep shouts.

The two men walked along the white-powdered passage until they finally reached the end, and the cave was full of a mess of firewood, covering the hole the size of a basket.

Hou Feng laid the soybean flat at the entrance of the hole, and then bent down and climbed out, the outside of the pyre was full of tattered tables and stools, and a wooden bed covered with dust.

Hou Feng picked up the straw on the ground and laid it flat on the wooden bed, then climbed back to the entrance of the cave, and dragged the soybeans into the house with great effort.

"I'm exhausted! I didn't expect you to look very thin, but this body is so sincere, go and stay on it first, I'll go out and come back. Hou Fengfeng picked up the soybeans, put them on the wooden bed, turned around and crawled out of the hole......
