75. Secrets in the home

I dreamed that I was walking in the dark night, my feet were good, that is, one foot deep and one foot shallow, I didn't know how long I walked before the scene was vaguely familiar, the moonlight above my head was bright, and I could see clearly that it was a hot spring pool in front of me. [I didn't stop when I came to the edge of the pool, but walked in the direction of the cave, and suddenly stopped and saw clusters of green light outside the cave in the distance, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be wolves hidden in the dark, and the green light was their eyes at all.]

There really are wolves in this mountain! As soon as the thought rolled past my feet, I involuntarily moved forward, and I tried to stop in shock, but I was still shortening the distance step by step. I could only watch in horror as the wolves got closer and closer to me, but to my astonishment, the wolves didn't seem to hear my footsteps, and none of them looked back at me, just staring at the location of the hole.

Wait, the hole? Lu Feng is inside!

I did not dare to rush in, and I was frightened and hesitant when I suddenly saw a gray wolf slowly come out of the hole, larger than any of the wolves gathered in front of the cave, and almost immediately judged that it was only their head.

And it seemed to have something in its mouth, and suddenly it dropped it on the ground, and the wolves rushed up. And at that moment, I could see clearly in the moonlight what had been dropped, and it turned out to be one of the arms of a person!

"Lu Feng!" I screamed, and sat up, gasping for air in a trance.

Little by little, my consciousness came back, and I gradually realized that it was a dream just now. It's all because Ah Ping scared me, saying that there were wolves in the mountains, so that I dreamed of that scene in the middle of the night. But I shouldn't have called out Lu Feng's name just now, or I'm sure I'll wake up Ah Ping, I turned my head and couldn't help but be stunned, what about Ah Ping?

There was an oil lamp left on the table in the room, and it was almost burning out in the shaking room, and the flames flickered and flickered. It's dark outside the window, although I don't know what time it is, but it must be at night, where does Ah Ping go without sleeping? Toilet?

I waited for a while and still didn't see Ah Ping come back, and I couldn't help but wonder more and more, it wouldn't take him so long to go to the toilet.

I feel that something is wrong, did he run to his mother's place again? Or in the middle of the night? I couldn't wait any longer, and I turned over to get off the ground, but remembering that my legs and feet were inconvenient, I stood up carefully by holding on to the edge of the bed and holding on to the bedpost.

Then, I bared my teeth.

Lao Langzhong was right, the injured foot was fine, but the uninjured leg was really sore because of overwork yesterday, and it was so painful that it was unbearable, and I guess the calf muscles were as hard as a stone.

After standing for a long time, he couldn't take a step, but sat back on the bed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. I propped my hand on the edge of the bed and tried to get up again, but unexpectedly, my right hand pressed and suddenly I felt empty, and my whole palm sank a little. The secret passage is not good, it can't be that the bed board is broken.

While turning over the mattress, I cried and laughed, how much strength did I have, so much strength that I could break the bed after two blows? It must be that this bed board is not very reliable. When I lifted the mattress, I couldn't help but be stunned...... The break looks like it's broken, but how can it be broken so neatly? Isn't it generally possible to break the fracture with different lengths and burrs?

Although I thought it was strange, I still had to hold up the broken bed board to see if there was a way to think about it, otherwise Ah Ping would not be able to sleep when he came back. But when I picked up the broken bed board, I was stunned, even though I hadn't studied the structure of the bed, but none of the beds were hollow underneath, right? Is it just two planks to support our weight, this design is too unreasonable, no matter what, there must be a bed beam to support the middle.

With a sigh in my heart, my body was slightly on one side, and the oil lamp on the table was shining, and I was a little puzzled and puzzled to find that there was not only no bed beam under the bed board, but also no floor. Thinking of something, I immediately lifted the mattress inside to get the broken board on the other side, my eyes couldn't help but slowly widen, and the whole person was in a state of confusion.

Under this bed is a secret passage!

When I came back from my stupor, my mind began to spin, and I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten something. It was that time in the Buddha room to punish kneeling, Ah Ping sneaked in from the tunnel at night with the futon in, and learned that there was a cellar at home, and one of the entrances to the cellar was under the desk of the Buddha Hall, and then I didn't know if it was filled, and the other I was going to ask Ah Ping later, but I forgot.

It was only then that it dawned on me that the other exit was still in our room, under the bed.

Then the question came to mind, whose cellar entrance was built in the bedroom and the Buddha room? Shouldn't they all be in a yard or something? Whatever the reason, I decided to go down and have a look, otherwise the night would not have been peaceful.

Looking at the gap in the bed board that was lifted, I thought my small body was enough to get in, and I put on my coat and endured the pain in my feet to drill underneath, and when most of my body was underneath, I found that my feet could not touch the ground. I can't help but be annoyed, am I too short or is the space below too high? At this time, he was unwilling to climb up again, gritted his teeth and let go of his hand, and his body fell sharply, but he fell to the ground in an instant.

My legs hurt from the force, so I had to fall down, and my hands didn't feel too the ground, and I didn't sprain again. Climb up against the wall, try to get out of the way at the entrance so that the light in the room can shine in, but the light is dim, and the light is very small, and the line of sight is helpless. I can only vaguely see that the space here is narrow, more than one person high, it should be just a passage. The wall walked slowly, and the further you went inside, the darker it became, and you couldn't see your fingers when you got to the back.

Suddenly I heard the jingle of a bell at my feet, and I felt something touching my ankles, and I was startled and immediately stopped. I didn't dare to squat down and touch it, so I could only use my feet to touch it, and as soon as I touched it, I could hear the bell ringing, but I guessed that there should be a rope tied underneath, and the bell was tied to the rope.

I tried to take a step, and then I moved slowly two more steps, and sure enough, I didn't touch anything anymore. Suddenly, I remembered that there was a fire fold in my coat, so I quickly felt it out of my sleeve and blew it gently, and the fire slowly lit up.

The flames were small, not enough to illuminate the entire passage, but at least I could see it faintly in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little bolder. To be honest, I'm really a little scared, and I'm not very bold, walking in a dark underground passage in the middle of the night, where can I not be afraid.

After walking a foot or so, I noticed a door in front of me, and the door was naturally closed.

My heart was pounding fast, I was both scared and inexplicably excited, it felt like I was about to open Pandora's box, whether it was good or bad was unknown, and it was precisely because of the unknown that people had such emotions.

The outstretched hand was trembling slightly, and I paused when my fingertips touched the wooden door, and the next moment I was about to push it open, but I didn't expect the door to open from the inside. I couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, my eyes were also straight, and I was also stunned by Ah Ping in the door, who didn't seem to expect me to suddenly appear here, and even looked me up and down suspiciously.

His face changed as his gaze fell to my feet, and he lunged at me with an arrow. I was still stunned, and I couldn't react for a moment, as I watched as he picked me up and walked the way I came.

I never left the door, and only when I felt that the distance was longer did I suddenly wake up, and hurriedly shouted: "Ah Ping!" He didn't listen to me, and continued to carry me, and I grabbed his ear and shouted again: "Don't go, do you stop and hear?" ”

This time he was finally willing to stop, but he looked down at me but his eyes were not depressed, and I didn't care, pointing behind him and asking, "What is that place?" After a pause, two words came out of his mouth: "Cellar." ”

Fart! Don't think I didn't see it! This passage is dark and not in the middle of winter, but the light behind the door is bright, and you can still see it. I pretended to be annoyed, and said in a stiff tone: "You either let me go now, or you just carry me over and choose for yourself!" ”

"Your feet."

"Don't divert from the topic, choose!" It's rare for me to be tyrannical to Ah Ping.

He responded with action, took me in his arms and turned around again, striding towards the door. I walked slowly for a long time, and in a moment I was in front of the door with his great stride, and I went straight inside, and I confirmed that the glimpse I had just taken was correct.

Inside the door was a neatly furnished room with cabinets, tables, chairs, and couches, but what really surprised me was that the wall facing the door was full of books. The bookshelves of ancient wood, the neat stacking of rows and rows of books, where is this cellar, it is clearly a study.

Ah Ping hugged me directly on the couch, and then lifted my pants to inspect my injured ankle.

At this time, I didn't bother with anything else, just looked around curiously. Originally, the light was illuminated by the oil lamp on the wall, and usually only one oil lamp was lit in the room, but here there is a lamp nailed to each of the other three walls except for the book wall. His eyes fell on the table, where a book had been opened and closed, and an oil lamp was lit on the table.

"Ah Ping, you were reading a book here just now?"

Rubbing his hand at my ankle, I heard him whisper, "Hmm." When I heard this, I became more and more curious, "Are you literate?" ”

Books are so rare in this mountain and countryside that I haven't seen a book since I came here for more than five years, and none of the people around me are literate, and there are not even private schools or teachers in the village.

The people here are living the most simple life of male farmers and female weavers, and culture and knowledge are not as important as the strength. But tonight I saw not only books, but also a whole wall of books, and I was amazed.

When I recovered from my surprise, my curiosity gradually subsided, and I turned my eyes to look at Ah Ping with a scrutinizing gaze for the first time. A fool in the eyes of outsiders, my cute and stupid Ah Ping, reading hard in the middle of the night? The contrast between the two seems to be a bit big.
