Chapter 289: Entering the Villa
The three of them rested in this hidden courtyard for three or four hours, and when evening came, the clouds in the sky covered half of the moon, but not the bright halo.
"It's so loud at night!" When Feng Lingyu and the three of them came out of the alley, they already felt that a hundred meters away, there were several characters lurking, and they must also be the ones who tried to sneak into Yuexia Mountain Villa.
"That's a good situation!" Li Feihu said in a low voice: "Since the imperial court came, a curfew has been set up here, and no one is allowed to come out for activities at night. It seems that Long Qian's little boy is also bound to win the Phoenix Stone! I know the shortcuts, I can avoid the patrolling soldiers! Saying that, the two of them relied on the shadow cast by the moon on the blue brick wall to hide their whereabouts, and soon got rid of a few waves of followers, but the farther they went, the farther away they were.
The three of them accelerated their light work, and it took an hour to reach the foot of the high mountain opposite Yuexia Mountain Villa where Feng Lingyu and Luo Chuan stayed in the morning.
"There's a secret passage here?" Feng Lingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at the dense grass and trees, as well as a few abandoned graves: "I think that there will not be only one exit from Yuexia Villa!" So it was here! The three of them went around to the back of the mountain, and saw a fresh grave, in front of which only a simple wooden plaque carved the tomb of my brother, without a name or surname, and a few jars of good wine, scattered on the ground.
Li Feihu knelt down towards the grave: "Fourth brother, there is a lot of trouble today, my brother will compensate you first, and my brother will bury you in another day!" Feng Lingyu and Luo Chuan didn't expect that the fourth son of the Li family would be buried outside this wasteland, and the two of them also saluted one by one to show their respect for the deceased.
"Brother Li, where is the secret passage?" Luo Chuan looked around, and there was no trace of artificiality at all.
Li Feihu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked around the circular grave, and then chose a direction and began to dig.
Is the secret passage in the tomb? When the two were puzzled, Li Feihu seemed to have dug something and reached out to twist a mechanism inside, only to hear a click, the soil behind the grave cracked out of a slanted opening, looking down, the darkness was not visible, Li Feihu re-piled the grave again, wiped out the traces, took the lead and slid down, and after a while, there was a fire inside: "Brother Feng, Brother Luo, come down quickly!" Feng Lingyu and the two went down the cracked stone road, Li Feihu quickly twisted the switch on the inner wall, and the stone slab made of soil opened and closed again, and there was no trace at all.
Feng Lingyu exclaimed: "It's really cleverly designed! Brother Li, this secret passage is connected to the underground dark river of Yuexia Villa, right? ”
Li Feihu nodded admiringly: "Yes, haha, presumably Brother Feng heard the sound of flowing water in front of him!" Let's go quickly, lest the day dawn and the night be long and dreamy! ”
As he spoke, he led the way in front of him with a torch, and sure enough, he didn't walk for a while, and he saw the dark river surging on the side of the stone path, along the wall on the top, and stalactites of different shapes hanging upside down, dripping with crystal clear water droplets, which was particularly beautiful. Only the footsteps of three people hurried past the empty stone path.
After about half an hour, the three of them walked to the end of the stone road, and a cascading ladder went straight up the wall, presumably the exit.
"Wait a minute!" Feng Lingyu suddenly asked, "Brother Li, this secret path is only known to you, or is it?" ”
Li Feihu knew that Feng Lingyu was cautious and said, "This secret passage was told to me by my mother, because this is her old man's room!" Don't worry, those three people don't know, otherwise I wouldn't have gone out so easily! It was under my mother's wooden bed, and even if it was quietly going up, it would not be easy for people to find out, and besides, now the three of them were proud, where would they come to this remote place! Now only Aunt Fu is left to serve her mother! There's not much of a person here! ”
"Brother Li, old lady she?" Luo Chuan heard something strange, Li Feihu sighed and shook his head: "Let's go up first!" As he spoke, he walked down the stairs to the bottom of the top wall, and when he lightly touched the small switch next to him, the trapwall made a slight noise, revealing a gap.
It was also dark above, Li Feihu directly bent over and crawled up, Feng Lingyu and Luo Chuan knew that this trapboard was under the wooden bed, so they also carefully lowered their bodies and slowly climbed out.
