Chapter 37: Entering the Underwater Palace by Mistake

"Well, mom......" Lu Xiaoqi called out to his mother softly, Xiao Yichen seemed to wake up, what was he doing, "Mom, what is it?" Gently kissed her on the cheek, the silent night, only the bright moonlight, the breeze was light, Xiao Yichen quietly exited the door, and after he left, a blue light flickered faintly.

"Woo... Ah..."The early morning sun sprinkled on the side of the bed, Lu Xiaoqi stretched his arms lazily on the bed and kicked his legs hard.

Closed his eyes and got up, put his hands between the crossed legs, slowly opened his eyes, it was a new day, I got up and saw that the people in the courtyard were walking around, Lu Xiaoqi was walking in the courtyard, and suddenly remembered that the fishing rod bought by the custodian two days ago should have arrived today, "Butler, Uncle Housekeeper......"

"Hey, what's wrong with the princess?" I saw the butler hurrying out of the grocery room, and wiped the dust on his hands in a panic.

"Where's my fishing rod?"

"Oh, I just arrived this morning, and I'm not going to send it to you when I'm done." The butler of the palace is a kind uncle who is close to the age of knowing his fate.

After taking the fishing rod, by the way, I asked the housekeeper if there was a small boat in the house, the kind that could row to the center of the lake, only to know that there was a small bridge at the east side door where Xiao Yichen was sleeping, but generally Xiao Yichen did not let people in, Lu Xiaoqi muttered while walking, and did not let people in, I am afraid that there is no secret for fear of being known by outsiders. Lu Xiaoqi walked there, a low wall blocked the lake inside, and a small door in the center of the wall was locked, and the lock was a little dusty and rusty, and it looked like it hadn't been opened for a long time.

Lu Xiaoqi shrank his head, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one, this wall was also very short, he should be able to climb over, Lu Xiaoqi put his fishing rod and basket on the other side of the wall, picked up the wall with one hand, and kicked the wall with one foot, and almost fell a butt pier, this wall is different from other walls, as if it was smeared with oil on the wall, but it didn't look very smooth, what was it, turned around, bit the corner of his mouth, and a thought suddenly popped up in his head, "There is..."

Lu Xiaoqi returned to the same place after a while, only to see that she was holding a bundle of rope in her hand, and a square brick, tied the rope to the square brick, pulled it with both hands, tried to see if the knot was strong, and then threw it over the wall after confirming that it was fixed well, hoping that the protruding corner of the wall outside could stop the square brick, the first time it was unsuccessful, she pulled it back, threw it over again, pulled the rope to make sure that the square brick was pinned, and then pulled the rope and pedaled on the wall to climb up, and pedal up to make the wall, a small piece of grass, His fishing rod and basket lay down on the ground, and he took a deep breath and jumped down, "Oops..."

Leaning forward, planted on the grass, fortunately the wall is low and the grass is thick, otherwise it would really break, Lu Xiaoqi lay on the grass and slowly got up, picked up his fishing rod, picked up his own fishing basket, patted the soil on his knees, and walked to the small wooden boat that could only carry two people under the crooked branches, only the boat had no paddle board, and after looking carefully, the oars were actually under the hull, Lu Xiaoqi couldn't help but think, I am so smart.

Put the fishing rod and fish basket on the front of the boat, pick up the wet oars, hold the boat with one foot in the center of the stern to maintain balance, smoothly enter the boat, lean over and untie the rope tied to the branches, turn the direction Lu Xiaoqi slid the oar back, and slowly slid to the middle of the lake until he slid to the pavilion floating on the lake, stopped under the gazebo, Lu Xiaoqi sat on the bow of the boat and threw the fishing rod, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

In the morning, the sun shines softly on the surface of the lake, sparkling like countless elves jumping and scattering in all directions, the lake water shrouded in the rising sun seems to be gentle and affectionate, sultry, a faint mist rises on the surface of the lake, and the hills that dive into the water in the distance are hazy.

What is the sound of "grunt, grunt......"? When he turned around, there was a small vortex behind him, as if he had sucked something in, Lu Xiaoqi suddenly remembered what suddenly shook in his eyes when he came here for the first time a few days ago, he thought he was wrong, but he thought it was this vortex, strange? How can there be a whirlpool underneath this gazebo? After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoqi took a deep breath, and plunged his head into the water, the water was too deep to see anything clearly. The boat swayed and swayed, and a wicked wind blew on the lake, and the boat overturned, "Hey...... Ah......" Lu Xiaoqi exclaimed for a while, he was overturned by the boat and fell into the water, as if something was dragging his feet, and he used all his strength to flutter on the net, until the strength of the body was the same as draining, and he would rise and dive for a while, I don't know how many salivas he dive, until his body sank deep after his strength was exhausted, at this time Lu Xiaoqi was thinking in his mind, no, is it just gone, there are a lot of pictures in his mind, secretly going out to play with Qiqiao, coquettish with his brother, grandmother feeding himself snacks, and Xiao Yichen......

There were several bubbles in his mouth, and he sank like this, I don't know when, I had reached the bottom of the lake, and I fell, and I don't know how long it took, Lu Xiaoqi coughed up sewage in his mouth, and the lake water spurted out of his nose and mouth, Lu Xiaoqi was awakened by coughing, beating his chest hard, and when his body calmed down, Lu Xiaoqi looked up and looked around, the four walls were copper walls, and there was a torch inserted on the wall every few meters, Lu Xiaoqi was both scared and curious and walked forward, and walked for about ten minutes. After entering, the first thing I saw was a very large statue, this god statue with blue face and fangs, it looked very scary, I had never seen it, I only felt that the statue was the same as the living, and it had been staring at you, and there was an underground palace here, strange? What is Xiao Yichen doing here to build an underground palace?

With such a question, Lu Xiaoqi bypassed the statue and continued to walk forward, but heard someone talking not far away, Lu Xiaoqi quietly avoided their sight, found a wall to eavesdrop, and only vaguely heard a man say: "Kill that man, cut off his head and give it to him." Hearing this, Lu Xiaoqi couldn't help but think to himself, this person is too ruthless, what they are plotting, he can't hear it clearly, so he has to carefully probe his head forward, hoping to listen more carefully.

"Let's ......"

"Who?" The man inside heard the movement, and gave a look to the person behind him to signal him to investigate, Lu Xiaoqi moved slowly, and when he moved a little farther, he ran quickly, and when the man came out to check Lu Xiaoqi's location just now, he found that there was no one, and walked forward to take a look, and found that no one turned around and returned, almost, Lu Xiaoqi was nervous in his heart, if the man took two steps further and found her, he sighed deeply, and the nervous beads of sweat on his forehead kept rising.

I don't know if it's an illusion or it's real, Lu Xiaoqi felt that someone patted her on the shoulder behind her?
