Chapter 288: Where Does the Tunnel Lead?
At this time, there were only Wei Yuan and Chiyu in the kitchen.
Hearing that the little girl also wanted to enter the tunnel with him, Wei Yuan's expression hesitated slightly, he raised his eyes to look at her, and said in a gentle tone: "Why does the lady suddenly want to go in and take a look?" β
"Huh?"
Chi Yu poked her head into the entrance of the tunnel, her round eyes were full of curiosity, and when she heard this, she said casually: "I'm just curious, I want to know where this tunnel leads, besides, there is an inexplicable tunnel in the kitchen, so you're not afraid of something suddenly popping up?" β
Wei Yuan: "......"
In the past, he never had to eat, and he would not come to the kitchen in person, and naturally he would not let the kitchen prepare food, the reason why there is a kitchen in the house is just for the people in the house.
Now, there is another little girl in the house who is worried about the ingredients in the kitchen.
Thinking of this, Wei Yuan thought about it seriously and replied with one word: "I'm afraid." β
Listening to him say that he was scared so seriously, Chi Yu couldn't help laughing, "Wei Yuan, it turns out that you are also scared sometimes?" β
Wei Yuan: ?
Can't he be afraid?
However, now it is natural that the lady is whatever she says.
Wei Yuan snorted, suddenly walked over and closed the kitchen door, and locked the door in front of it.
"Lady, it's time for us to go down to the tunnel to see what is going on."
Chi Yu was so made by his actions that she could still react, hearing this, she nodded subconsciously and responded, "Okay." β
The little girl who looks like this looks a little well-behaved.
Wei Yuan couldn't hold back for a while, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and took her hand again, "Come, be careful, be careful, go ahead for your husband." β
His hand was suddenly held, and the pond fish coughed lightly, and hummed a little unnaturally.
Wei Yuan looked at it and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
The entrance of the tunnel is not narrow, when Wei Yuan goes down, he can step on the layers of stone stairs as soon as he steps on it, it is very strong, it does not look like it is newly built, it should be that the tunnel has existed for a long time.
It was only today that it happened to be inadvertently discovered by the pond fish.
There was no light in the tunnels, only a vague light shining in from above.
Wei Yuan lit the fire fold and walked down the stone ladder step by step.
The pond fish standing on it couldn't hear the movement in the tunnel, nor did she hear Wei Yuan's voice, so she squatted down and shouted at the tunnel: "Wei Yuan, can I go down?" β
Before the words fell, Wei Yuan's voice came out, "Yes." β
"At the bottom of the entrance are layers of stone stairs, when the lady comes down, you have to be careful."
The pond fish quickly responded, and then cautiously went into the entrance.
Sure enough, she stepped on the stone staircase all at once.
It's a shame that she just heard the reminder, otherwise, if she didn't pay attention for a while, I'm afraid she would accidentally step on the air.
A moment later, the pond fish came to Wei Yuan's side.
The little girl saw the fire fold in Wei Yuan's hand at a glance, and she asked curiously, "Wei Yuan, when did you prepare the fire fold?" β
Wei Yuan looked down, "I didn't make any special preparations, but I just kept them with me from time to time." β
Hearing this, Chi Yu nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that when she goes out, she also has to prepare a fire fold." β
Wei Yuan immediately paid attention to the point: "The lady is going out?" β
Pond Fish: "......"
Oops, why did she just say that?
What if Wei Yuan thought of something......
Before, she was going to run away halfway, but she was tired and sleepy, and she couldn't run, but now she ......
She seems to have really been left behind by Wei Yuan?
No, no, no.
She can't just stay in Dongfang Mansion like this!
Chi Yu shook his head quickly: "It's just to be prepared." β
"I see."
Wei Yuan smiled: "If the lady really wants it, after she goes out, she will give the fire fold to the lady for her husband." β
How could there be such a good thing?
"Good, good."
Afraid that Wei Yuan would regret it, Chiyu hurriedly responded.
The tunnel seems to be a bit long.
Wei Yuan and Chi Yu walked one after another, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, they still couldn't reach the end of the tunnel.
"Wei Yuan, this tunnel shouldn't be connected to your entire mansion, right?"
Chiyu couldn't help but complain, "Otherwise, why is this tunnel so long?" β
Wei Yuan bowed slightly, and his tone was slightly deep: "It's not that this possibility is not impossible." β
"If it's really as the lady said, it seems that this house really can't be lived."
Chi Yu was puzzled: "Can't you seal the tunnel entrance?" β
Wei Yuan shook his head: "It can't be sealed, after you get out, you can only send someone over to fill in the entire tunnel." β
"Hmmm......"
The lips of the pond fish moved, and just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly saw a faint light flickering in front of him-
"Wei Yuan, look, we've finally arrived!"
Chi Yu said categorically: "Now I want to see where the tunnel leads!" β
However, the closer she got, the little girl noticed that Wei Yuan's face seemed to be very solemn, and her expression seemed to be displeased, and Chi Yu asked, "Wei Yuan, what's wrong with you?" β
"Lady, I found out for my husbandβ"
After a slight pause, Wei Yuan continued: "The tunnel is the way to the Dongfang Mansion next door. β
