Since Lin Lang was transferred to work in the township, he has had an official commute time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info from eight to eighteen o'clock, that is, from eight o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening.

Although when it comes to office workers now, they all talk about 9 to 5, but it is the working system in a developed big city. In a small rural place like theirs, it is naturally impossible to keep up with the rhythm. Not only in the countryside, but also in the county, city, and even provincial capital, most of them do not have a 9-to-5 job. Even if there are big cities with 9 to 5, it's just an isolated case. In fact, most workplaces use a ten-hour work week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and they often work overtime.

However, Lin Lang was transferred from the village to the township, which was a promotion. In addition, after working in the township, the salary is also higher. So although the working hours are officially standardized, not as casual and free as when he was an accountant in the village, he works almost entirely from home, and he doesn't have to report for duty every day, but he is also happy to go there. Not to mention that now I work in the township, the township government compound also manages three meals a day, and the canteen is full every day, which is equivalent to saving the family.

Because he was still in charge of dinner at night, although Lin Lang got off work at six o'clock, he often didn't come back until about seven o'clock. However, although he often returned to dinner in the township, he sometimes rushed back in a hurry because of something, but he didn't eat it. So when Mother Lin is at home, she usually waits until he comes back before starting to eat, so as not to let him not eat. Anyway, the time for dinner at home is usually later, but I don't care about waiting a little longer.

Today, because of Huang Rong's visit, Mother Lin planned to start the meal in advance without waiting for Father Lin to come back, so as not to make the guests wait for more. However, after Huang Rong found out, he declined the proposal and insisted on waiting for Father Lin to come back before starting the meal. She came to the door today mainly to visit Father Schelling, how could she eat first without waiting for the Lord to come back.

Fortunately, Lin Lang didn't work overtime tonight, and he didn't delay for anything else, and after having dinner in the township, he rushed back at the normal time of nearly seven o'clock.

After coming back to see his son come back and bring Huang Rong as a guest, Lin Lang was also very happy. However, after knowing Huang Rong's intention, he didn't even say that he was polite, saying that he should help her. Lin Xu was often taken care of by Huang Zongwen in school, so when Huang Zongwen's family was in trouble, he should help if he could. After being polite, he finally declined Huang Rong's gift.

He refused to accept it, so Huang Rong insisted on it. After pushing back and forth, in the end, he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. Fortunately, it's just a bottle of wine, and it's not very valuable. Although there are hundreds or thousands of good wines, how can it be too expensive to sell in a small village like theirs. The store will not be stupid enough to buy that kind of wine, and if it can't be sold, it can only be smashed in his hands. Huang Rong picked the most expensive bottle in the store, but it was only a few dozens, not hundreds.

Lin Lang had already had dinner in the township, but since there were guests, he, as the host, still sat down to accompany him and ate some dishes. During the banquet, Huang Rong also toasted Lin Lang three glasses of wine.

After dinner, after Huang Rong helped Lin's mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, the two paused for a while, and Lin Xu got up and said goodbye to his parents: "Dad, Mom, it's not too early, while it's not too late, Huang Rong and I will go back to school first." ”

When he came back with Huang Rong, he had already said that he would not stay at home tonight, and he would still go back to school after dinner, so his parents were not surprised to bring it up at this time. However, seeing that they were leaving, Mother Lin was still a little reluctant to stay: "Look at you, this child, you treat your home as if you are a restaurant, and you have to leave after eating! It's getting dark outside, so I think it's better to stay for one night, just like when Fei Fei came to our house." Rong Rong lives in the study with your sister, and you live on the sofa a little aggrieved. ”

Rong Rong was called, but Huang Rong took the initiative to let Lin Xu's parents shout, saying that her father also called her like this, and they called her cordial. Seeing that she took the initiative to do this, Lin Xu's parents didn't let it go, but by this time, they were already smooth.

When Lin Xu heard this, he immediately refused: "Mom, we still have something to do when we go back!" Teacher Huang may call at any time, we have to go back and wait for the call." ”

This is a very valid reason, and Huang Rong's father and daughter can't miss the opportunity to get in touch because of staying overnight. Although Huang Rong's father and daughter contacted each other, and seriously said that Lin Xu had nothing to do, she couldn't say that she would only let her son stay, and then let Huang Rong and a girl rush back alone.

Therefore, as soon as Mother Lin heard this reason, she no longer persuaded them to stay, and could only sigh and tell them to be careful on the road. Lin Lang had planned to follow the persuasion just now, but then he also closed his mouth and took back what he originally planned to say.

In fact, only Lin Xu knows that Huang Zongwen is still on the train according to the time, and he has not yet arrived in the capital, so it is naturally impossible to call back. But he couldn't say this, and the reason why he went back to practice martial arts was inconvenient to say more to his parents, so the reason that was not actually valid at the moment was the last excuse.

Since they couldn't stay, Lin Lang and Lin Tong then sent Lin Xu and Huang Rong out together. In the process, Lin Xu also declined his mother's proposal to let him use a flashlight. With his current eyesight, he still needs a flashlight when he walks at night. Not to mention that the weather is sunny tonight, although there is a waning moon hanging in the sky, it is also quite bright, plus there are stars in the sky, and it is really not too dark outside. Even with the eyes of ordinary people, walking at night in such a situation can still see the road clearly.

After coming out and seeing this kind of night, Lin Lang and his wife were not too worried. However, when saying goodbye, he still told a few more words to let the two of them be more careful on the road.

Lin Xu knew that they were out of concern, so he only listened carefully and didn't say anything. Huang Rong also looked obedient and listened. After saying goodbye, the two turned around and walked out along the alley. Lin Lang and Lin Tong didn't turn back until they were seen out of the alley.

However, after Lin Xu and Huang Rong got out of the alley, they didn't go again, but stopped after turning out of the alley. After waiting for a while, Lin Xu poked his head sideways and glanced into the alley, and saw that his parents and sister had gone back, and the lights at the gate were also extinguished.

"How is it, have they gone back?" asked Huang Rong in the back.

"Go back. Lin Xu answered, beckoned to Huang Rong, and led her across the alley to the temple on the other side.

Since he promised to take Huang Rong to the underground secret room in the Thousand Hands Guanyin Palace, he would not break his promise. However, he had told her that the time had been agreed upon before, and that they would return to the temple after dinner and when they had left the house, so as not to be seen by anyone during the day. At night, it is safest to have the cover of the night.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark outside. Although it was a good night tonight, and there were many villagers on the street outside to cool off, at this level, they could at most see the figures passing by. As for seeing the face clearly, if there is no light, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see clearly even if I get closer and only one step away.

Therefore, Lin Xu was not worried about these people, and generously took Huang Rong into the temple without doing much to cover up.

There was no one in the temple at this time, and it was pitch black, except for the row of houses of the village committee on the west side of the front, one of which was lit. The room where the old bachelor who was in charge of watching the village committee lived, didn't come out at this time, and it seemed that he was staying in the house and watching TV.

Lin Xu took Huang Rong through the front quickly, and smoothly arrived at the Thousand Hands Guanyin Hall in the back. After turning his head at the front of the hall and looking at the courtyard next to him, he didn't stop much, and took Huang Rong through the window through the hole in the already broken window.

He didn't get off the windowsill, but jumped directly from the windowsill to the high platform where the statue was placed in the hall. However, this distance is far for Huang Rong, she can only jump off the window sill first, and then walk over, and when she walks in front of the high platform, she can't directly jump to a high platform that is more than one meter high.

"Pull me along. She raised her hand and said to Lin Xu.

Lin Xu sighed helplessly, turned around and grabbed her hand, and lifted her lightly and forcefully, and easily lifted her whole person onto the high platform.

Huang Rong didn't expect him to lift himself up directly, and after a slight exclamation, he turned to joy and said: "It's good to have a lot of strength, it seems that I will spend more effort to practice in the future." ”

She actually didn't have much interest in practicing martial arts, and when she practiced sanda, she was completely pulled by Guo Jing to sparring together. In the process of practicing, he mainly accompanied Guo Jing, and he didn't usually practice so hard. So now it is a half-level, far less flexible than Guo Jing's skills.

Lin Xu ignored her words, let go of her hand, turned to the back of the dragon statue, removed the obstruction and pulled out the brick, pulled the connected iron chain, and opened the mechanism of the secret room. After pulling it, he immediately reset the brick, and then pulled Huang Rong and stood on the platform that had begun to sink slowly.

"This feels like an ancient elevator, I can't imagine that the ancients were so smart!" Looking at the platform that was sinking under his feet, Huang Rong said with some excitement. The other excitement was finally stepping into this secret room that she had discovered months earlier.

"Honestly, if you have to follow me back, do you just keep thinking about this place all the time, and you have to find a way to come down and take a look?" Lin Xu ignored that sentence and stared at Huang Rong's dark eyes and asked.

Huang Rong's eyes dodged slightly, and he shouted: "How come? I came back with you, mainly to thank your father, this place was just remembered by the way before." ”

Lin Xu didn't believe it in his heart, but he stared at her eyes, but he didn't ask any more, anyway, he had already taken her down now.

When the platform sank to the bottom, the portal to the secret room was revealed. Seeing that it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly, Huang Rong suddenly leaned over to Lin Xu's side with some fear, grabbed his hand and said, "It's not like it's on TV, what's the best mechanism, right?"

"I don't know now that I'm afraid!" Lin Xu sneered, suddenly shook his hand, gently shook her hand off, and then flashed sideways, and had flashed into the secret room behind the wall next to the door and hid his body.

Because this secret room is deep in the ground of the temple, the light is even darker at night, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers. Although Huang Rong has practiced a little sanda, his eyesight is just ordinary, where can he see through this darkness, let alone Lin Xu is hiding specially.

The girl was naturally afraid of the dark, but Lin Xu suddenly threw her away and left her alone. She couldn't see Lin Xu, all she saw was darkness in front of her, and she immediately couldn't help but be even more scared, and shouted loudly into the darkness: "Lin Xu, what are you doing, come out quickly." ”
