Yuan Qingmou returned to Westinghouse. The sand rabbit sat against the wall on the bed, looking at him with a grin. He sat down, but his mind was still drifting in the distance, and the music was still ringing in his head. In the east room, the sound of the piano is still ringing, and the music is like crying and complaining, as if there is a stomach full of sorrow.

Yuan Qingmou let out a long breath, and suddenly found that the sand rabbit had descended from the ground and stood in the middle of the ground. Yuan Qingmou was completely sober: "Ah! Sand Rabbit, are your legs right? ”

"What do you say?" The sand rabbit shook off the broken leg.

Yuan Qingmou's eyes widened. It will take at least 100 days for the broken leg to recover, how can this sand rabbit stand on the ground?

Besides, in the middle of the night last night, the sand rabbit was obviously asleep, but after Yingzi left, he opened his eyes and looked at him with deep meaning. Waiting for Yuan Qingmou to ask him, he turned over and fell asleep again, which was very weird. Sand Rabbit, who the hell is it?

The sand rabbit sat down in front of him, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and lowered his voice: "Brother Tian Mao, I dare to guess, this is not your real name, but I am willing to treat you with sincerity." Tell you who I really am! I am the Song King's secret guard. ”

"You?" Yuan Qingmou couldn't believe it.

The sand rabbit said, "Yes, that's me." Do you think I'm only twelve or thirteen? You're wrong! I'm nineteen years old. ”

"Huh?"

"Yes. My family is a very special family, for ten generations, there has been a person in each generation, who is the secret guard of the Song king, and enjoys the exclusive treatment of Lingyi. Therefore, although my home is far from the royal city, it has a lot of fertile land, and it is very rich. This generation has been passed down to me, and it is up to me to take on the responsibilities of my father. I came here to investigate hidden dangers that might endanger the Song Kingdom. ”

"And your legs?"

"My leg wasn't broken, but I had a severe tendon contusion. I pretended to have a broken leg to nourish my muscles. In fact, I use my family's unique exercises to heal my muscles every day. It has been ten days now, and the tendon injury has healed. That's why I dared to go to the ground. If you go to the ground in less than 10 days, it will cause damage that is difficult to heal. ”

"I see! Brother, you're a strange man. ”

"This is my secret, can you promise not to leak it?"

"Of course I promise. You trust me so much, but I leak secrets, is that still a human being? You can rest assured. Even if the knife is on the neck, I won't leak it, this is my principle of life. ”

Sand Rabbit said, "It is precisely because I saw this from you that I told you the secret. O man! You have to have your own secrets, and you have to keep them secret. But there is a limit to secrecy, and if you keep it secret from the people you trust best, you will never have a true friend. Let me tell you another secret of my family, that whoever chooses a man in the family is the one who can serve as the king's secret guard. By the age of twenty, the body will undergo huge changes, and in just a few months, it will grow taller and thicker. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Qingmou was unheard of.

The sand rabbit laughed and looked like a child again: "You think it's strange, right? That's just the way it is. Therefore, the selected successor guards can't be the master of marriage by themselves, and they need grandfather, father, and even the king. Women are strictly selected according to established criteria. In this way, the next generation can guarantee the birth of people with a body structure like ours. ”

Yuan Qingmou nodded: "Your body structure is indeed different from ordinary people. ”

The sand rabbit said, "Can you tell me your secret?" ”

"Needless to say, my real name is Yuan Qingmou, and my master's name is Yun Haozi."

"Yun Haozi? Thunder! ”

"I grew up with my master since I was a child. The master had a very deep relationship with Xu Guoda's Sima Xu Cheng, and when he heard that he was framed, he specially sent me down the mountain. Right now. Xu Cheng is already safe and sound. But I also want him to clear up his injustices and eliminate the hidden dangers that affect the safety of Xu Guo, so he runs around and pretends to be stupid. ”

The sand rabbit smiled again: "Yingzi, it's Yin Wuzi's sister, right?" ”

Yuan Qingmou was surprised again: "Do you know the Yin Wuzi? ”

"Of course I know. Didn't he arrest the son of the Song Kingdom? That's actually a fake. It's someone I arranged, impersonated. I didn't move Yin Wuzi in front of me, in fact, I wanted to find out his situation and clean up all the roots and shoots that he had planted in various places. ”

Yuan Qingmou was in awe, jumped to the ground, and arched his hand: "Brother is so powerful, I admire it." ”

The sand rabbit hurriedly got up and held him: "What are you doing here?" We are brothers, so we don't have to be formal. If you want, the brother wants to worship you, can you? ”

Yuan Qingmou is overjoyed. The two knelt down and kowtowed to the heavens, expressing their willingness to become brothers. Yuan Qingmou is the longest, and the sand rabbit is the younger brother. After the sworn ceremony, the two became closer.

The sand rabbit lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I think about it thoroughly, the reason why those people disappeared the night before was because the row of trees behind the house that were tied like fence walls were able to move. ”

"How so?"

Shatu said: "This is a way to set up a secret door. The roots of the trees were planted in wooden boxes; There is a slide under the wooden box, and if you push it hard, the tree will move with the movement of the wooden box. Brother, you can carry me behind my back, pretend to be a slippery wind, and go there to investigate secretly. ”

"Okay."

Hearing that Yingzi was still playing the piano, it seemed that he had reached the state of harmony and happiness. Yuan Qingmou didn't tell her, and quietly went out with the sand rabbit on his back.

The two housekeepers guarding the door said: "Aunt Yan has an order, you can walk around the villa casually during the day, but at night, you must come back, and you can't go out again." ”

Yuan Qingmou replied: "We just obey the order." ”

Yuan Qingmou first carried the sand rabbit around the villa, and then came to the place where the group of strange soldiers disappeared. I saw that the walls of the house were tall, and the back wall was more than two feet wide from the row of dense trees; And the ground, which is more than two feet wide, is very flat, seems to have been polished, and it is bare, even if someone walks by, there are no footprints.

"Brother Tian Mao, I want to." The sand rabbit barked on his back.

Yuan Qing was afraid that someone would listen nearby or behind the wall, so he said, "Let's go back and pull it again!" ”

The sand rabbit said anxiously: "No, I can't hold it back." ”

Yuan Qingmou had no choice but to carry him to the crevice next to the dense woods and remove him from his back. The sand rabbit dragged one leg and climbed into the bushes. He did pull a splash of inside, it stinks. Then, he climbed out of the bushes with a relaxed face and said with a smile: "I've got through this time." ”

Yuan Qingmou picked him up again and walked back. The sand rabbit became elated, Yuan Qingmou guessed. He must have discovered the secret.

Back at the house, Yingzi was still playing the piano. Yuan Qingmou put the sand rabbit on the bed, and the sand rabbit whispered: "There is really a hole there!" Tonight, let's go investigate. However, it may not be easy to push through that row of trees. There is also a lot of movement. It's best to take advantage of that army to come out and drill again, and let's get in. ”

Yuan Qingmou said: "Good way! ”

Yuan Qingmou calculated, "It will take at least an hour and a half for them to come out to practice, and if we enter the cave, we must come out within an hour." ”

Sha Rabbit smiled deliciously: "Brother, follow you to do things, it's safe." An hour, enough. Other than that. I still have a set of equipment, hidden in the mountains. It's a rule of my actions: every time I do, I have to have a spare item. ”

Yuan Qingmou sneered: "Brother, there is really you!" ”

In the middle of the night, it was quiet in the villa. The two housekeepers who kept vigil in front of the courtyard gate may have slipped away again and found a place to sleep. And in the East House, the British played the piano for a day. Tired, should have fallen asleep. Yuan Qingmou and the sand rabbit tightened the costume. Dive out the door. The sand rabbit first led Yuan Qingmou to a tree outside the villa, he dug through the soil with both hands, pulled out a cloth bag from it, and stuffed the contents into his arms. Later, the two men came to the vicinity of the dense forest and lay down there.

The sand rabbit said softly, "They don't practice tonight. We're going to be busy. ”

Yuan Qingmou nodded.

After a while, there was a sound in the dense woods. The dense trees moved in rows, and at the end of the row stopped, flashing a passage. Then, the strange army appeared. They lined up, one by one, out of the woods, and stood on the polished ground. Then, a person stands in front of the line and gestures to them. The group followed the gestures, turned around, ran, and headed straight for the back street. They are light and silent, and they are indeed well trained. And in that row of dense woods, a man was left, apparently a guard.

The sand rabbit took out a blowpipe from his arms, clipped his eyes towards Yuan Qingmou, and signaled him not to move. The sand rabbit silently and quickly crawled forward, and when he was close to the guard, he put the pipe to his mouth and blew it. The guard shuddered, seemed to be taken aback, and then slowly collapsed. The sand rabbit lost no time in rushing over, and when he was about to fall, he held him up and slowly lowered him to the ground.

Yuan Qingmou hurried over. Beside the guard, there was a black hole. The sand rabbit entered the cave first, and Yuan Qingmou followed. There are stairs leading down to the cave and a cool breeze blowing. Yuan Qingmou understood that there must be other holes in this cave, because the air is moving.

The sand rabbit is very light, its eyes seem to have night vision, it can see the road ahead, and it walks quickly. And Yuan Qingmou's night vision is not good; In normal times, he could only walk by the wall of the cave, but now, he followed the sand rabbit closely, and he also walked like a fly. He couldn't help but admire in his heart: there are really people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. Who would have thought that there would be a person with a special body structure like the sand rabbit in the world!

When I arrived at the bottom of the cave, I walked about ten zhang forward, turned a corner, and suddenly saw a light. It was an oil lamp, not a direct one, but a mapping, indicating that the oil lamp was blocked by a wall, and there was a bend in front of it. Sure enough, when I turned another corner, I saw a light, hanging on the wall. It was a rather large cave house, flanked by huts, all with their doors closed, but no one else. At the top of the cave was a large wooden door, which was now open, and the wind blew in through the open large wooden door.

The sand rabbit waved his hand at Yuan Qingmou, meaning that I will go over to reconnoiter first. He walked along the wall, hurried forward, came to a small door, slowly pushed open the door, looked inside, and then turned around and shook his head at Yuan Qingmou, meaning that there was nothing inside. He ran several rooms in a row and sneered.

"Brother, come here! This is where the wonder troop sleeps. ”

Yuan Qingmou looked over and saw that in every room, the beds and bedding were complete. The two of them ran to the big wooden door that had been opened at their heads, and they ran out of the cave. In the dark, you can also see that this is at the bottom of a mountain, which is wide and flat, and there are many things for exercise.

Here, apparently, is a barracks, a barracks of secret troops. (To be continued......)
