Just walk through the corridor to reach the backyard locked by a large lock.

Zhou Xingzhi remembered the way he came, so he easily found it.

Half the time!

Passing by the well, Zhou Xingzhi saw countless small barrels hidden in the long grass.

Because it was too far away and was obscured by weeds, she didn't see it.

The kegs here are much thicker than the ones next to the wells outside the fence before.

Zhou Xingzhi leaned over to take a closer look.

The bucket contains clear water, and there are weeds and dead leaves floating on the clear water, some of which have rotted to the core, and there is pitch-black moss growing around the bucket, which becomes darker and darker the further down the bucket.

Small water worms can occasionally be seen wriggling in the water, which is a bit frightening.

After a short while, he returned.

Zhou Xingzhi straightened up, and as soon as Di Di fell on her shoulder, she began to ask in a low voice.

"How to lose it, what did you find?"

"There is a large room over there, closed on all sides, and the only entrance is this locked gate. ”

Zhou Xingzhi touched its slender hair before continuing: "I have never heard of this thing, I must take this opportunity to find out." ”

"That big room didn't even have a ventilation hole, so I didn't see anything. ”

Lost a little discouraged.

What Zhou Xingzhi is curious about, it is just as curious.

"It seems that we can only wait for Hongguo to come and open the door, and it is not good for us to force our way in, in case of poisoning, it is not a joke.

I'm still in a hurry to go to the capital, and now I can't do anything else. ”

Zhou Xingzhi frowned, and she didn't even find anything, which made her even more curious.

"Yes, the master of the line, since that red fruit said that he would take you in, he probably won't break his promise. ”

"She won't break her word!"

Zhou Xingzhi said seriously.

Seriously instructed Di Di not to go near the house for a while, Zhou Xingzhi thought it would lose his temper.

As a result, this time, Diu Di was unexpectedly obedient.

didn't let Zhou Xingzhi wait long, and Hongguo came here with a box.

The pace is fast, and the heart is anxious.

When she arrived in front of Zhou Xingzhi, she was relieved to see that she didn't act without permission.

Zhou Xingzhi looked at her, a face that was so red that it was about to explode, with fine fragrant sweat on it.

Seeing this, Zhou Xingzhi smiled bitterly, and then pointed to the big lock, and then laughed.

"Hongguo, you don't have to be in such a hurry, there is a lock to lock it, even if I want to go in. ”

"Who knows, what if Miss breaks the lock and goes in directly?"

Hongguo rolled his eyes rarely, and Zhou Xingzhi just laughed, which was a tacit acquiescence.

She did intend to do so, but she didn't.

If you really break the lock, you will appear to be rude, and if there is danger, it will be really bad.

"Didn't I wait here? ”

Zhou Xingzhi defended himself.

Hongguo didn't argue with her anymore, but opened the box.

Inside there is a thick cloth mask, and two veils.

After tying the mask to Zhou Xingzhi, Hongguo put a veil on her again, and after preparing for Zhou Xingzhi, she put on the veil for herself.

Seeing this, Zhou Xingzhi asked curiously, "Is it okay for you to do this?"

"Actually, I don't even need a veil, I just put this on just in case, after all, I haven't been back for more than two months. ”

Hongguo said, then turned his head to look at Zhou Xingzhi again, and then continued.

"After all, I'm researching this, and although I'm confident that I won't be poisoned, I still think it's better to be safe. ”

Hearing her words, Zhou Xingzhi thought for a while, and then asked, "Did Ye Yuanwai ask you before, is this what you mean?"

"Hmm. ”

Hongguo replied briefly, then looked back.

Zhou Xingzhi also followed her line of sight.

At this time, in the direction of Hongguo's coming, a figure was hurrying here.

That man was Aoki.

"I'll have to bother, Miss, to wait a little longer. ”

Hongguo looked at the green tree coming here, and Zhou Xingzhi nodded silently, which was regarded as an answer.

After a while, Qingshu came to the two of them, he first bowed to Zhou Xingzhi as a greeting, and then turned sideways and began to be busy.

He poured the water from the wooden barrel next to the well into one place, and after cleaning up the scum and moss inside, he carried two large barrels to Zhou Xingzhi and them.

The vat was placed at the corner of the eaves before, and if Qingshu hadn't taken it, Zhou Xingzhi wouldn't have found it.

"It's rootless water. ”

Hongguo said, pointing to the water in the bucket that Qingshu was carrying.

"Rain?"

Zhou Xingzhi thought in his heart, although he knew it, he didn't know what their intention was in doing this.

"Rootless water is taken from natural rainwater, and after a period of accumulation, under the fermentation of moss and dead leaves, it is best used to water those plants and flowers. ”

"I see!"

Zhou Xingzhi sighed, and then said: "I only know that rootless water can be used to make tea and take medicine, but this is the first time I have heard that it is used for watering." ”

"Rootless water for tea is much more troublesome than this rootless water. ”

Hongguo said.

At this time, Qingshu had already put the two large wooden barrels in front of the backyard gate, signaling that Hongguo could open the door.

Seeing this, Hongguo made a "please" gesture to Zhou Xingzhi, and then went over there.

"Boom--" There was a loud bang, the heavy gate was opened, and Qingshu walked over and pushed it.

Suddenly, a dull breath came to the face, which instantly made people feel depressed and uncomfortable!

As soon as the door was pushed open, Aoki stood in front of the two women, and then quickly carried the two wooden barrels in, placed them on the left and right, and then he walked to the dark walls on both sides.

He groped in his arms.

He heard the crunch of something suddenly falling into the water, and the next moment, the place where he was standing was lit up.

The white luster spread out like ink into water, and within two breaths, the light lit up a large part of the dark room.

The action was repeated again, and after a few moments, the dark and dreary room was as bright as day.

At this time, Zhou Xingzhi saw something that emitted light.

A semi-circular transparent columnar object is hidden in the water of the white jade bowl on the wall.

"I'm just outside, and whatever tells me is it. ”

With everything ready, Qingshu bowed, said a word to the two girls, and withdrew.

Originally, this kind of thing was done by Qingshu, but because Zhou Xingzhi was in it, it was not good for him to stay longer.

"This place is amazing!"

Zhou Xingzhi looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

Under the light of the cold moon, Zhou Xingzhi looked around, and it was indeed full of plants and flowers.

The high and low are gradual, and orderly.

It was very different from what she had seen in Ye Yuanwai's mansion before.

"Since it is poisonous, there is not a trace of light, not even a candle.

So the lord gave me this pillar of light, the light emitted by this pillar of light is yin, and it is the most suitable place to illuminate here!"

Hongguo explained, seeing Zhou Xingzhi's curious look, she pointed to the flowers and plants in front of her and continued.

"Miss, don't look at so many flowers and plants here, in fact, there are only four that have really been successfully cultivated by me. ”

"Four ...... Is it?"

Zhou Xingzhi asked rhetorically.

But this enclosed space is full of plants and flowers, and there are more than four kinds of them!
