057 Self-taught
said that he was sleeping by himself, but Chen Sheng rolled his eyes and walked to the eldest lady's room.
The eldest lady did not rest at this time, and was also waiting for him.
"The master is back?"
Chen Sheng smiled and nodded.
"There's a chilled sour plum soup in the house, would you like a bowl?" The eldest lady got up from the side of the bed and put down the embroidery in her hand.
"Okay, then serve a bowl."
The eldest lady has been following Tiehu for the longest time, and she has inevitably experienced many ups and downs, and her concentration is not comparable to those little girls. Her face was calm, and she smiled quietly.
The man is back and looks unscathed, which is more important than anything else.
As for what was happening outside, she didn't ask at all.
Chen Sheng found a chair and sat in, and took the sour plum soup casually, looking very happy.
There are many women in the family now, but only with the eldest lady can he get real relaxation, the kind of relaxation from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.
"Adele."
"How?"
The eldest lady has been silently by her side, and when she heard Chen Sheng calling her name, she said softly: "If the master is tired, go take a shower, and I will pinch it for you later." β
Chen Sheng shook his head: "I have something else to say. β
"My lord commands me."
"Is there a place in the house where I can hide people?"
"What do you think, our house is very big, how simple it is to hide a person."
"No, you don't understand what I mean. The place I'm looking for has to be hidden, and it's better that no one knows about it except you, or only a few people know about it. β
ββ¦β¦β
The eldest lady didn't ask the specific reason, and thought for a moment and said: "According to the master, the firewood room and vegetable cellar are definitely not good." I remember that there was a dry well in the garden, which was sealed because there was no water. Not many people know about it. β
Chen Sheng perked up: "What's the situation outside the dry well?" β
"Oh, there are some flowers and plants growing all over it, and it's hard to spot if you don't pay attention."
So what if you pay attention? Will it be exposed?
ββThe so-called people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. With Murong Qiudi's means and wisdom, if he continues to search like this, how many days can Xie Xiaofeng hide?
Chen Sheng is very passive now.
He thought about it, as if except for his own side, the entire Mianyang City was probably not safe!
Chen Sheng is also a helmsman, Murong Qiudi always wants to give face, and he shouldn't send someone to surround their house and search inch by inch. As long as you can hide from Qingqing, a "little spy", there will be no big problem.
"The dry well can be ruled out, Madame or think again."
"Yes."
The eldest lady was quiet for a while, and a little struggle suddenly flashed on her face, and she stopped talking.
Chen Sheng said strangely: "Ade, what else can't we say between us?" β
The eldest lady bit her lip: "I remember, there is indeed a place that meets the standards of the master, and no one knows." But this place has something to do with the Iron Tiger, I'm afraid you'll be upset to hear it. β
"Related to the Iron Tiger, why am I upset?"
"After all, this was Tiehu's house, and his sisters were all his wives and concubines, and he always talked about Tiehu on weekdays, I was afraid that the master would ......"
Chen Sheng held the eldest lady's hand and said with a smile: "The master is not so careful. Tiehu is my brother, I can't respect him or read him, how can I have messy thoughts? Be of good cheer. β
The eldest lady stared at his eyes: "Is the master telling the truth?" β
Chen Sheng said: "It's true! β
"Okay, then the master will come with me."
β¦β¦
The eldest lady took Chen Sheng to an unexpected place.
Iron Tiger's study.
She lit the candle with a fire fold, and said quietly: "A few years ago, when buying this house, Tiehu once said that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and he must leave a way back for our family. β
"What kind of back road?"
"Authentic."
It's done!
Chen Sheng was surprised and delighted: "Where is the tunnel?" β
The eldest lady said: "The master is a rare smart person in the world, why don't you find it yourself?" β
"Hey, Madame wants to test me? Yes. β
Chen Sheng cheered up and walked around as he walked.
This study is compact in size, and the interior furnishings are not very large, and it seems that it is impossible to hide secrets at a glance.
There is only one case.
A hoop chair.
One side of the bookshelf.
An arhat bed.
The rest are some gadgets, what pen, ink, paper, inkstone, vase ornaments, all kinds of potted plants, etc., in addition to a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the subject matter is nothing more than common poems or ladies.
Tunnel, tunnel, as the name suggests, the entrance should be on the ground, right?
Chen Sheng used the most stupid method, directly paused the long sword to his feet, "Boom, boom", and struck continuously.
His hearing is quite amazing. To put it bluntly, even mosquitoes can be separated from male and female, and if there is really a hidden mystery on the ground, it is naturally impossible to hide it.
But an embarrassing thing happened, Chen Sheng knocked for a long time, and found that the echoes were relatively dull, and they seemed to be all solid.
The eldest lady was still pursing her lips at first, but when she saw him change her target and start tapping on the wall, she knew that the secret was exposed.
"Tiehu remodeled his home back then, and built a few other houses behind the study, leaving a certain amount of space between the houses, this design is very ingenious, and it can't be seen from the outside."
Chen Sheng said: "That space is the entrance to the tunnel? β
"Hmm."
As soon as the words were finished, the scabbard hit a picture of a maid, "boom", this time the voice came back diametrically opposite, and the truth finally came out.
Chen Sheng smiled.
He picked the picture aside and found a layer of wood at the back, similar in color to the height of the wall. I pushed it with my hand, but I didn't push it, and then I tried to scratch it to the side, and suddenly, a black hole jumped out.
"Tsk, well-intentioned, Tiehu is really careful."
The eldest lady had a complicated look in her eyes and did not speak.
"Ade, hand me the fire fold, and the master wants to go in and take a look."
"Oh."
Chen Sheng suddenly turned his face, and hurriedly explained: "Blow out the candle, you personally guard the door, don't let anyone approach." Remember, no one can. β
The eldest lady nodded: "I understand." β
The position at the entrance of the cave was not high, and Chen Sheng easily climbed up, and a cool aura followed. He deliberately sniffed it and found that the smell was quite fresh, and it was obviously ventilated underneath.
Hold up the fire fold to check, and there is indeed a space between the walls, about four feet wide.
The entrance is a stone staircase that extends down one step at a time.
Chen Sheng jumped in.
The entire tunnel is symmetrical on both sides, the top of the head is arched, the wall is covered with dense shovel marks, and the left and right sides are very regular, obviously the iron tiger is unimaginably strong.
Chen Sheng bent his waist and continued to grope ahead. He stumbled upon some hollow copper pipes inserted overhead, at different angles, which is supposed to be where the fresh air comes from, and the design is really good.
After walking about four or five feet, a new space suddenly opened up, and I could finally stand up straight.
The shape here is very similar to a lying "egg", the height is more than half an arm of Chen Sheng, the area should be the size of a bedroom, there is another exit opposite, I don't know where to dig and what the length is.
There were several "small holes" in the wall of this "bedroom", and there were oil lamps in them, and Chen Sheng lit them one by one.
On the left is a wooden bed, which is not lacking in bunks and covers.
On the right, there are a dizzying array of things: water bladders, bacon, dry food, spirits, clothing, coiled ......
it!
Tiehu dug both a tunnel and a secret room, which can run away and hide, such a huge project, I don't know how long it lasted, his perseverance is really admirable!
The next question is, where will the outlet be designed?
Chen Sheng held the fire fold and got into the passage on the other side.
After the passage exited the "bedroom", it suddenly began to turn, no longer straight, and seemed to change direction.
After walking another four or five feet, the terrain finally slowly extended upward.
There is a baffle at the exit, which is square, and the design idea is no longer to move left and right, as long as you push it up, it should be able to open.
Chen Sheng didn't dare to move casually, and pricked up his ears to listen.
Well, it's quiet outside, and there's no sound.
After a moment's hesitation, he reached over and thrust hard......
Unexpectedly, this is a house, and the exit is hidden in a vegetable patch, and the baffle is full of dirt and tender green vegetables.
Chen Sheng crawled outside and quickly launched a search.
It's strange, this place obviously has all kinds of traces of life, why is it empty, and you can't even see a figure?
Could it be that Tiehu has already bought it, and will come over from time to time to make a disguise?
In all probability!
Chen Sheng observed the environment and saw Tiehu's compound in the direction of the west, which was separated from his residence by a row and was probably ten zhang away.
Dig the exit to someone else's house, someone else's house is still an "empty shell", don't say anything, Brother Tiger is awesome!
Chen Sheng was very careful, slowly restored the exit, and then slipped outside to familiarize himself with the terrain.
When he got to the back of the house, he made another big discovery.
"Boom la la ......"
I saw that under the bright moonlight, there was a river on the back, and the speed of the water was quite fast.
Chen Sheng stood by the river and grinned.
The hero saw the same thing, and he understood the Iron Tiger's train of thought.
- Where there is water, there must be fishing boats, if you encounter danger one day and have to go, after coming out of the tunnel, find a random boat to row out, who can catch up for a while?
What a pity!
The Si people have gone, and this secret passage will be cheap Xie Xiaofeng.
However, it is a pity that the current Mianyang City has been surrounded like an iron bucket, and Xie Xiaofeng can only be hidden temporarily, and it is basically impossible to get out.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
Chen Sheng went to the front hall on time to report and meet Murong Qiudi.
Miss Murong is still the same, she doesn't talk nonsense, and she randomly sends an envelope to everyone.
When I went out to take a look, I saw that it read:
- Investigate all the rivers in the city and retrieve the boats.
ββ¦β¦β
Miss Murong is worried that someone will take Xie Xiaofeng to "flow to recuperate" on the water, she has calculated all the possibilities, what a genius!
Chen Sheng pinched the envelope and couldn't help but shake his head.
If a person is exhausted, calculating this and that every day, then she must not live long, and she must be very tired.
"Big boss, how are we going to search today?" Zhang San rested all night and was refreshed.
"See for yourself." Chen Sheng is also the same old routine, handing over the envelope to the other party happily, ready to continue to mess around.
"Madame is really powerful, brothers, go!"
"Get on the ......"
In the free time of the hurry, Zhang San suddenly suppressed his voice and told Chen Sheng about last night's events.
"I suspect that Madame is afraid that the big boss will have a slack mentality, so she wants to ask about the situation and use my mouth to supervise it."
"Oh?"
Chen Sheng pretended to be casual and asked, "How did you answer?" β
Zhang San patted his chest: "How could the little brother betray the elder brother?" I told my wife at the time that the big boss didn't know how diligent he was, and he was so busy all day that he didn't even have time to drink saliva. β
ββ¦β¦β
Chen Sheng's eyes were full of gold stars, and he almost fell off the horse.
What a clever ghost, why do you want to kill me?
The so-called abnormal things must have demons, what kind of shape do you have, Murong Qiudi can still be unclear? The slacker has suddenly become diligent, and the problem is definitely not a small problem!
!
β¦β¦
A busy day passed quickly, and the whole process of manhunting ended in failure.
"Everyone, please come over on time tomorrow, and we'll discuss it again."
"Yes."
Yesterday's scene was repeated again, the brothers were depressed, the female devil was as calm as ever, and finally everyone scattered.
Chen Sheng just walked out of the mansion and found that many carriages suddenly passed by, and the carriages were covered with black cloth, I don't know what was inside, looking at the direction they were going, it seemed to be the mansion.
"Wow!"
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
Chen Sheng's face changed.
Dog barking?
With so many dogs transported, you don't even have to think about it, it must be to arrest Xie Xiaofeng. When it comes to the ability to search, of course people can't compare to dogs, and Xie Xiaofeng may not be able to hide!
Chen Sheng stood on the side of the road and thought quietly, his eyebrows furrowed.
At present, the city is full of Tianzun people, and there are hundreds of bright posts and secret posts, even if he is extremely successful, it is impossible to steal Xie Xiaofeng out of the night, the situation can be described as extremely bad.
"Forget it, it's a big deal to come back and wash up...... ...... vomit"
Chen Sheng gritted his teeth, and soon made up his mind, his face full of tragedy.
At dawn.
The sky will be dark.
Chen Sheng was like a ghost, his feet didn't touch the ground, and he floated outside Qingqing's room.
"Whew, whew, bad guy ......"
Hehe, listening to this movement, she is really asleep, and she is sleeping soundly.
Chen Sheng stretched out his hand, opened the window inch by inch, and finally got in.
If drilling windows is a talent, then Master Chen's head will definitely have the four big words "No. 1 in the world", shining with gold.
Chen Sheng slipped to Qingqing's side and brushed it on the "jade pillow acupoint" behind her head.
"Gollum, hehe......"
Suddenly, Qingqing's snoring instantly became thicker, and she couldn't even speak in her dreams.
Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly searched everywhere, and finally found what he needed from her closet.
- A small box.
The box contains all kinds of equipment: small combs, small mirrors, small scissors, small blades, various miniature brushes, and all kinds of colorful bottles and cans.
Chen Sheng sat beside her in a dignified manner, stilted Erlang's legs, and began to disguise himself by himself!
If Qingqing saw it, it is estimated that even her eyes would be shattered.
Because Chen Sheng's movements are faster, more skilled, and more perceptive than her!
"Hey, if you don't have any craftsmanship these days, it's really hard to mix ......"
