The man outside the window also knew that he had startled the young lady, apologized slightly, took two steps back, his face disappeared, and turned into a vague black shadow, and said, "Girl, don't panic, I'm a human being, not a ghost." ”

In fact, he didn't have to defend himself, because as soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Qian heard that he was the Qiao Xihai who had taken him captive outside Bazhou City, but he was eating and drinking well. Bai Qian was shocked and thought, "Is it him?" What is he doing here? If you want to kill me, you just need to stretch out a finger, or tell the four friends of the mountain not to send me food and drink, why bother so much? After dinner, she originally wanted to stay awake, but she was physically and mentally exhausted for the past few days, and she lasted until midnight, and fell asleep on the table unconsciously. If this Josie Hai had been peeping out of the window since then, hadn't he been standing for two or three hours?

At this time, there were a bunch of questions in her heart that were difficult to solve, and she faintly had an indescribable fear of the old man who was secretly peeping at her, and the eyes like falcons hidden outside the window made her unforgettable for the rest of her life. The West Sea Valley is like a fairyland on earth in this barren land where people want to go, but at this time, she just wants to escape far away and never come back. After settling down, she said: "Xihai, Xihai seniors, your disciple's death has nothing to do with me, you let me go!" I—I'm not going to say what this place is, and if I do, I'll let the thunder kill me! She swore solemnly that at this juncture, as long as she could make the old man of Xihai believe it, she would like to take out her heart and show it to him.

Qiao Xihai pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Han Juzi, this useless thing, although I taught him boxing and kicking for a few days, he is not my official disciple, he is clean when he dies, so as not to ruin my reputation." What if you killed him, and what if you didn't? If you like it, even kill those three together, so that they don't have to call me uncle all day long, just a few three-legged cat kung fu, and kill me alive! ”

Bai Qian became more and more puzzled and asked, "In that case, what are you still holding me for?" ”

Qiao Xihai suddenly stopped talking, and seemed to find the question difficult to answer. One of them was in the room, one outside the window, one in the light, and the other in the dark, so silent. Bai Qian would rather he scold himself a few times, or even hit him twice, it is better than such a cloudy and misty one, which is unpredictable and more uncomfortable.

After a long while, it wasn't until the morning light moved and the valley began to be foggy, that Qiao Xihai said faintly: "What I asked Feng Lanzi to give you, have you seen it?" ”

Bai Qian shook her head and said, "What did you write?" I don't understand it at all. ”

Josie Hai said: "You will understand, sooner or later, when you understand, I will release you out, if you still don't understand, stay in it for the rest of your life!" With that, he disappeared into the light smoke and mist, just as he had come. He said that he was a human being, not a ghost, but he came and went like a ghost.

Seeing that he couldn't say a word, Bai Qian hid again, still locked herself firmly in the house, pursed her lips, rushed up angrily, took a few steps to the window, pushed open the window with a snap, and scolded at the empty courtyard: "Blame the old man, don't let it go, see that I eat you poorly, you have to ask for food - uncle, aunt and grandmother, reward me with a bowl of rice for the bad old man!" Hmph, wait and see! After scolding for a long time, thinking that "eating" was not his forte, he could only shout, afraid that it would be useless, so he was deflated again and had no plan.

Closing the window, he suddenly thought of the words that the old man of Xihai had mentioned repeatedly, so he found the paper again, spread it out on the table, and thought carefully for a long time, but still couldn't guess.

Bai Qian sighed, and was about to push the nerve-wracking anagram away, when the candle snapped, a light burst out, and a small spark flashed and parted to both sides. Bai Qian's mind was full of these words, and when she saw this ordinary thing, she suddenly felt something, and hurriedly found a pen, dipped it in some ink, and wrote it on the paper:

sent someone to rescue, lost the official document - the word "rescue" removed a "text", it is a "request" word;

The vertical column on the beam, see the word to help the body - the vertical column is the standing wood, and the word "see" is added next to the standing wood, which is the word "pro".

Ask for a kiss! Bai Qian suddenly understood, why Qiao Xihai arrested her, but instead of avenging her disciples, she had a good house for her to live in, and she had three good meals and drinks a day; Why did she send Feng Lanzi to show off and fiddle in front of her; Why peeping out of her room late at night; Why......

Yes, she finally understood. But then what? Does she really want to commit herself to such a bad old man, just for what crab roe lion head and red bean muffin? Bai Qian was so angry that she tore the Chengxintang paper in front of her, swept the uneaten lion's head and muffin cake to the ground, and by the way, she also smashed the Four Seasons hanging screen and bronze Guding table tennis displayed in the house.

It wasn't until there was nothing to smash that Bai Qian looked at the antique family that was broken into pieces. Yes, I won't even marry my son, let alone this old guy! But what if you don't get married? He said that if he doesn't understand, he will stay in it for the rest of his life, is it, is it, does he really want to be locked up in this square inch for a lifetime? The old thing had already hidden out the window and peeked, maybe he had been here a few nights ago, and if it went on like this, it was hard to guarantee that he would meet the lust one day and break in, then, then......

Bai Qian didn't dare to think about it anymore, a certain feeling of fear rolled on her skin, like a pair of hands, thick and old, kneading every part of her body greedily and vigorously. She crouched down and quietly picked up a piece of broken porcelain from the ground, the edge as sharp as a knife blade, glittering in the candlelight. Yes, with a gentle touch, there is no pain at all......

"You just have to touch yourself......" The voice of the old man in Xihai sounded outside the window again, but Bai Qian didn't seem to be afraid of him anymore, yes, what was there to be afraid of, what he got was just a dead man, "I'll pick you up and throw you at the door of the Bai family in Bazhou, so that the whole city can come and see how the eldest lady of the Bai family is born!" Hey, hey, hey......"

Syllable! Bai Qian dropped the porcelain, lay on the table and covered her face and cried bitterly, crying from early morning to noon, intermittently, until she couldn't cry a single tear, and then slowly opened her eyes.

The tears have not yet dried, and in the haze, the things in front of him are presented in front of him in the same way: the broken ancient ding, the broken lake pen, and the stewed lion's head sprinkled on the ground......

Hey! Bai Qian secretly screamed in her heart, rubbed her eyes, and saw that the soup and water did not stay on the polished ground, but soon disappeared without traces. She was afraid that the man was still peeping out of the window, so she pretended to cry a few times, and then looked at the window for a while, and then quickly returned to the place and looked carefully. The stone floor is as hard as iron, seamless and without holes, but when struck with a hard object, it makes a tuk-tuk sound, which is completely different from the sound of dangdang in other places.

Her heart rose suddenly, as if she saw a glimmer of life, and regardless of the dirt, she lay on the ground and rubbed around. After looking for a long time, I really felt a thin gap under a Xiangfei bamboo couch, this gap was in the backlight, and it was hidden under the couch, if it wasn't for Bai Qian smashing and throwing, so that the bamboo couch moved away half a foot, that is, it had lived for three years and five years, and it was categorically impossible to find.

Bai Qian's little light of hope is all tied to this small crack. She became more and more cautious, went to the window and looked at it several times, and then found a candlestick, and pried it a few times, until it was loosened, and pushed hard, and sure enough, a narrow hole appeared in the ground, allowing only one person to go up and down.

Bai Qian couldn't help but cheer, and suddenly thought: "Zhao Mengjue and Gongzi Xiaoxu all said that there is a secret of a big treasure hidden on their father's night queen knife, is it here?" If that's the case, then let them live here, but I don't know if the old man of Xihai can look up to them? ”

She knew that this was impossible, and that no treasure was worth anything to her now, but when she saw the hope of escaping, she was in a happy mood, and she couldn't help but smile when her miserable face appeared in front of her.

The candle on the table had already burned out, so Bai Qian lit another one and carefully squeezed it down from the hole. As soon as she got into the cave, she knew that this was definitely not dug by the old man of Xihai, because the entrance of the cave was extremely narrow, Bai Qian was already slender waist and shoulders, and she could barely get in with a single hand, and the old man of Xihai was almost the size of the three of her, how could she get down? Thinking about it this way, the person who dug this tunnel at the beginning was either a child, or like her, a weak and slender woman. "There are really a lot of people who don't die!" Bai Qian thought hatefully.

The cave was dark and dark, with thick earth on both sides, and over time, a lot of water seeped from the two walls, and gathered into a thin stream at her feet. Bai Qian was scared in her heart, her body shook uncontrollably, she groped all the way, and wanted to stop several times, but she knew that going back was a dead end, so she had to continue to move forward.

Except for the faint light of the candle on the hand, it is as dark as ink, so it is not easy to miss a little light or a different color. After walking for a while, Bai Qian felt that there seemed to be a white expanse not far ahead, and she suddenly came to her senses, no matter what strange thing it was, she quickened her pace and walked over with a shallow foot. The air in the cave was foul, she couldn't breathe well, and the candle flame in her hand was flickering and flickering, as if urging her to find out.
