15. Underwater reporting
Contemptuously had to agree to be a master. But she strictly ordered not to tell anyone. Lu Li wanted to announce to the outside world that he really didn't want to accept apprentices, so he stopped kneeling and begging.
The first lesson taught to them was the composition of human muscles. It was also the first boxing-related knowledge her father taught her. Lu Li was very excited after hearing this, and said that he didn't know that the human body would be so magical. In this first lesson, he was so impressed with contempt that he threw himself into it.
Contemptuously ordered that what she talked about was a unique secret book and was not allowed to be passed on.
Contempt asked each of them to prepare a sandbox, and every day they had to use a different amount of force to go to the boxing sandbox, measure the depth of the boxing, make a record, and show it to Contempt at night. This is to strengthen the hardness of the fist, and the second is to look at the strength of their boxing, so as to teach them individually. This is also the basic skill that her father asked her to do. Until the age of fourteen, he had been doing sandbox exercises, and the back of his hand was often bloody. Later, the palm of the hand became rough and hard, not like a girl's hand. Because of this, at the age of fifteen, Contempt resolutely stopped boxing training. The father was depressed for many days, saying that the biggest regret in his life was that he did not give birth to a son and had no descendants to inherit his mantle. Seeing that his father was uncomfortable, he had to continue practicing, but the frequency of practice was still much less, and his palms gradually became softer.
Contemptuously decided to send someone to contact Xu Cheng secretly. She thought about it, and only the second egg was more suitable.
Contemptuously knew that the people who controlled her must be monitoring inside and outside the mansion, for fear that she would collude with Xu Cheng, who was the person who was monitoring her, there was no way to know Lu Dao, maybe it was one or a few of the soldiers who guarded her, or maybe it was the closest person around her. Although Lu Li has become a disciple, he is relatively reliable, and he has a special relationship with Xu Cheng's family, but he doesn't know much about him after all. There are only two eggs, and he is a child, and it is not easy to attract attention. The second egg was specially brought out of the villa by himself, and he was very reliable. The only drawback is that Erdan doesn't know if he can successfully complete the task.
Contemptuously called Erdan into the house alone.
"Erdan, I'm going to discuss the most secret matter with you."
The contemptuous voice was extremely low and mysterious, and the second egg was startled and looked at her in surprise.
"Erdan, do you know the mansion of Sima Xu Cheng?"
"Zhilu Dao! His house is very large, and there is a lake attached to it. My sister and I took our dog to the back wall of his house to play, and it was fun. ”
"I want you to do something secret, can you do it?"
"I can! Master, what do you say? ”
Contemptuously changed his face: "If you can't get this thing right, you have to lose your head." ”
"Huh?" Erdan panicked, for a while, straightened his chest, revealing a look that was not afraid of the sky and the earth: "Master, you say, I'm not afraid of anything!" ”
"Not only is he not afraid, but his mouth is also strict, and no one can say if he asks."
"Okay, okay!"
"Even if they torture you, beat you hard, or even beat you to death, you can't say it. Can it be done? ”
"Huh?" Erdan became cautious, "So powerful? ”
"Yes, that's it! That's what it is! Do you understand? Hard! ”
Speaking of this, Contempt was also a little scared. Let the second egg do it with all his might, and what about himself? If you are kidnapped like last time, and like the Japanese devils invaded China, you use soldering irons, tiger chairs, etc. against yourself, can you resist it? There is no bottom in his heart. I don't have a bottom, but let a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy face it, isn't it too cruel?
He hesitated.
Erdan suddenly became excited, knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, are you afraid that I can't do it?" I can do it, and I can do it. Even if you beat me to death, I won't reveal my master's secret. Master, you have to believe me, believe me! ”
His eyes were wet with contempt, and he pulled twenty eggs up with all his might. She held Erdan's hand and said, "Master believes in you, believe!" "This is the first time she has used the title of master." Okay, I'll tell you the secret! ”
After telling the secret with contempt, Erdan's eyes widened: "Master, they are really bad!" ”
"It's not ordinary bad, so the master has to preside over justice. Erdan, you must remember the master's words. ”
Ran thought about it and let the second egg repeat it over and over again. Erdan remembers to be very attentive. Contemptuously found that although Erdan has no culture, he actually has a lot of learning potential, and after three times, he remembered that the melon was ripe. Contemptuously discussed with him again how to avoid his ears and eyes and enter the Xu Mansion. Erdan has his own way, and he is a little relieved to be contemptuous.
After noon, Erdan began to act. The hot day had passed, and Erdan was wearing a thin long shirt, with a bun wrapped in cloth and a thin bamboo pipe in his right armpit, and ran out of the door in a hurry. Masako chased out: "Erdan, where are you going?" Erdan said: "I'm going out to play, don't worry about it!" Masako said, "Erdan, if you dare to go into the back lake to take a bath, I will kill you!" The second egg said, "No! The soldier guarding the gate joked, "Masako, I think Erdan is going to take a bath!" Masako was in a hurry, chased out the door, and shouted at the back of Erdan: "Erdan, if you are disobedient, my sister will ignore you again!" Erdan shouted from afar: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine." Masako had no choice but to go back to the hospital.
Sister-in-law Jiang happened to come over with a broom to sweep the yard and asked, "What did Erdan do?" ”
Masako said, "I don't know what to do! He said he was going to play, but he didn't have a dog. This wild boy! ”
It just so happened that Yinliang and a soldier came from the barracks in the back street to change the guard, Yinliang stood in front of the door, secretly glanced at Sister-in-law Jiang, Sister-in-law Jiang nodded slightly, pretended to sweep the yard for a while, put down the broom, and went out.
Erdan ran all the way to the backyard of Xu Cheng's house. The courtyard is built with a tall wall, and the south side of the courtyard is connected to a lake. Erdan swam in the lake, and knew that the lake outside the courtyard was actually connected to the courtyard, but he didn't know how far the road was connected. It was just a little after noon, and there was no one at the lake. Erdan took off his long shirt, held the cloth bag wrapped in a small meat bun and a bamboo pipe in his left hand, and only surrounded a piece of cloth around his lower body, and burrowed into the lake.
Erdan's swimming skills were learned in the villa. There is a naturally formed waterhole in the canyon of the mountain villa, and Erdan has been playing in the waterhole since he was a child, and he is very good at dog-crawling. Erdan also likes to dive. Once, after too much time, Masako, who was standing on the shore, was scared and cried, and the second egg came up to persuade her sister for a long time. At this time, Erdan dived into the water and swam to the courtyard wall of Xu Cheng's house. Sure enough, the lake outside leads directly into the courtyard wall, and there is also a lake inside the courtyard wall. But the place where they connect is more than a zhang wide, and there is a wooden stake in the middle. There are more than a dozen wooden stakes, which are deeply embedded in the bottom of the lake, and the top is a wall made of stone. The stakes are spaced at a narrow distance, making it seem difficult to get into.
The second egg shook a few wooden stakes, but did not move at all, and it was difficult for his body to drill through the wooden stakes, so he was greatly deflated. He surfaced, almost crying. If he can't complete the master's commission, what a shame it will be! Later, Erdan shook his head vigorously: No, Erdan has to complete the task assigned by the master no matter what! Looking up at the courtyard wall, it was too tall to climb up. After thinking about it, Erdan gritted his teeth and dived into the water again.
He began to shake the stakes one by one, and finally noticed that one of the stakes was a little loose. As he shook it, the gap between it and the stake next to it widened. However, I wanted to shake it again, but I couldn't shake it. It is conceivable that the underside of the stake must be deeply embedded in the cracks in the stone. The reason why it can be shaken is that there are some gaps between the cracks in the stones. Erdan resurfaced, took a breath, dived down, and tried to drill into the gap between the two stakes.
The head seems too big to get into. Erdan surfaced three times, dived three times, and after several temptations, finally drilled his head, but he scraped a cut on his face. Erdan didn't care about this, so he first floated to the water surface of the courtyard wall, and looked at the lake from the lake, thirty zhang away, there was land, and there were trees and roads on it. Over there, there are the houses. No one could be seen, but a dog came out of the door of the house, looked warily, and let out a low, threatening whine from its mouth. Apparently, the dog heard the movement.
The second egg hurriedly shrank into the water and swam forward. He was in the water with his eyes open, looking at the stone shore that came to him, and he untied the cloth of the bun from the water. The buns have been soaked in water, but fortunately, they are not soaked. Erdan quietly took the bun out of the cloth bag, stretched out his hand on the water, put the bun on the shore, then threw away the cloth, talked about the bamboo tube, took a few steps back, shrunk in the water and did not move, and breathed by the bamboo tube. The dog smelled the buns, came to the lake, picked them up, and ran away. The second egg lay on his stomach in the water and did not move.
At this time, Sister-in-law Jiang came to the lake. Sister-in-law Jiang just looked in the wrong direction and walked towards the downtown area, but she didn't find the second egg. She turned around until she reached the lake, and immediately saw the long shirt that Erdan had thrown there. Could it be that the second egg dived into the water? Sister-in-law Jiang waited for a while, but she didn't see Erdan, she was scared in her heart, and shouted in a low voice: "Erdan, Erdan!" ”
In the courtyard of Xu Cheng's house, Erdan had quietly swam to the shore, surfaced, and looked out. He saw at a glance that the dog was lying in the bushes not far away, sleeping soundly, and there was still no one nearby. Apparently, the dog has been numbed by the medicine in the bun. Erdan gently climbed ashore, threw the bamboo pipe on the ground, and rushed to the front of the house wet.
Xu Cheng's house is large, with more than a dozen rooms. There is a large courtyard in front of the house, and there are still houses on both sides of the courtyard. Erdan Zhilu said that Xu Cheng lived in the house on the left side of the middle. He came to the window, listened carefully, and heard Xu Cheng's voice, apparently talking to his wife after taking a nap.
Xu Chengdao: "Madam, now is very close to the day when Ami gets married. There are too many things in Asari; There are some subtle things at home, you still have to think about it. ”
Madame said: "Don't worry, I'm thinking about it!" ”
Erdan knocked softly on the window, and the conversation in the room immediately stopped. Xu Cheng asked, "Who?" ”
"Lord Xu, please be quiet, it's me, the second bastard of pedestrian Qin Contempt."
"Erbastard?" Xu Cheng's voice was very surprised. Erdan heard the footsteps in the house, Xu Cheng came to the window and pushed the window open. Seeing the naked second egg with wet hair, Xu Cheng was even more surprised.
Erdan whispered: "Lord Xu, don't alarm others, I was specially sent by the pedestrian Qin Wuran, and I have a secret to tell you." ”
Xu Cheng's wife also ran over, and Xu Cheng immediately whispered: "You go and watch the door,!" Madame left in a hurry. Xu Cheng said, "You jump into the window!" ”
"No, I'll just stand outside the window and talk."
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Erdan began to whisper the words that Contemptuously taught him: "Lord Xu." Now when someone threatens Miss Contempt and asks her to perform her magic skills, she says that the jade seal of Xu Guo has been stolen and is hidden in your Xu Cheng Da Sima's house. If you really find the jade seal from your home, you will destroy the nine clans. Therefore, Miss Contempt has sent me to deliver this news to you first, hoping that you will not alarm others and conduct a secret search of the house yourself. No matter what the outcome is, please send someone to enter Qin Miran's house in disguise to discuss the next step. This is top secret, please don't leak it, Lord Xu! Leave! ”
After the second egg finished speaking, he left the window. Running two steps away, he saw that Xu Cheng's face was already pale with fright, his eyes widened, and he was falling backwards. The second egg didn't have time to take a closer look, and the loach generally burrowed into the water and returned the same way. Although it was still difficult to drill the stake, due to extra care, the stake scraped the body, but no further wounds appeared.
Erdan surfaced, and at a glance, he saw Sister-in-law Jiang wandering around the lake, looking for him anxiously. Because she had her back to this side, Erdan laughed, and wanted to scare Sister-in-law Jiang, but suddenly remembered the master's instructions, shook her head, and took advantage of Sister-in-law Jiang's inattention, she turned over and quietly put on a long shirt, and also bowed and ran away.
