Chapter 20: Wooden Statues
I don't know how long it took for Shen Qingjiu's feet to fall to the ground, a little light in the hole, hanging above the heads of the three people, illuminating this cave, is Bai Ruyu's lighting technique, at this time, Shen Qingjiu is very happy, Bai Ruyu knows this technique, otherwise, the three of them will all be in the dark, and they will not see anything.
Bai Ruyu guided the light, looked at all the scenery in the cave carefully, and said: "It's nothing special, when the old man let us sleep, he only said that there would be a successor of the Shen family to wake us up in the future, and he didn't say anything to put around us. ”
When that bit of light flowed in the cave, illuminating the surrounding walls, Shen Qingjiu was also paying attention to observing, as Bai Ruyu said, there is nothing special on this wall, only one thing is suspicious, that is, it is in the underground position, especially in such a deep position, this wall is a little too dry, such a deep place, the wall should be moist.
Shao Siyu's gaze turned around with the light, and finally landed in front of a pair of statues placed on one side of the wall, which were two statues carved from wood, which were about half a meter high, and, because of the long time, these two statues had rotted into shape, and it was almost impossible to tell that they were two statues, but only two pieces of rotten wood.
Shen Qingjiu also found the two statues, and asked tentatively: "You two have lived in this for so many years, shouldn't you all live in this?" ”
A snap of his fingers sounded in her ear, Bai Ruyu looked at her with a smile, and said: "The little girl is very smart, the old man can't find two coffins for the two of us to lie down, and he is poor, he doesn't have this spare money at all, too valuable things, and will be stolen, thinking about it, he found two pieces of wood for the two of us to live in, this is still carved by himself, I have to say, the craftsmanship is a little worse." ”
The craftsmanship is not very bad, and there is no way to verify it, but Shen Qingjiu can no longer imagine that in the past three thousand years, the two of them have actually slept in this wood, and his ancestor is really not taking the usual path, saying that future generations just don't want to continue to be poor, so they built the Taiji Building, after all, the current Taiji Building is not short of money, and it is still very rich.
Shao Siyu walked to the front of the statue and stretched out his hand to touch one of the statues, and when his hand just touched the statue, the statue was like a sand sculpture on the beach was hit by something, and it was instantly shattered into slag, and the statue next to this statue was the same, it seemed that they were created together, and they were going to disappear together, Shao Siyu's hand stopped in mid-air, and when he looked at these things, his eyes were full of memories of the past.
Bai Ruyu said in a lonely voice: "This is the last thing left by the old man, and now, this thing has disappeared, and the old man is really far away from us." ”
Three thousand years of time have passed in a flash, they have been sleeping here for three thousand years, Shen You has long been no longer in this world, and now, Shen You has left them with nothing left, that kind of mood, Shen Qingjiu can feel it, because she has also had such an experience, the death of her parents has made her experience more than her peers.
Shao Siyu's fingers were slightly curled, he took his hand back, and when he turned around to face the two of them, he had that cold look again, and said: "There is nothing special here, this land is actually nothing special, Shen Bo doesn't make these mysteries, this is just the place where he once lived, he is actually just an ordinary person, but there are always people who use other thoughts to speculate about him, but everyone knows, it's just a waste of effort and a waste of time." ”
Shen Qingjiu could hear from his words that his deep feelings for Shen You and his contempt for those who coveted Shen You, not only him, but Bai Ruyu, who always called Shen You an "old man", should also have a lot of respect and dependence on this old ancestor, for some reason, Shen Qingjiu felt that Bai Ruyu had a childlike affection for Shen You like a child for his father.
The three of them turned around underground, except for the two statues that had been broken into slag, they didn't see anything special, Bai Ruyu turned her fingers at will, and the little light floating in the air was also constantly turning, casting several lights and shadows on the ground, she said boredly: "There is nothing to look at, it has long been passed by time, and it is no longer what it was at the beginning, the old man said, people, you can't always indulge in the past, you have to look forward, let's go, we have more important things to do." ”
Shen Qingjiu really doesn't want to stay here, although this place is not damp, but, it's dark, just that little light, it's not enough to illuminate, living in a modern environment since childhood, Shen Qingjiu prefers to stay under bright lights, in that kind of environment, she can see everything at a glance.
Shao Siyu came to Shen Qingjiu's side and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
After he said this, in the next second, he had already reached out and grabbed Shen Qingjiu's waist, his toes touched the ground, and he stood up, Shen Qingjiu saw that the wall was falling rapidly, and after a while, the bright sunlight reflected in her eyes, she had already come to the ground, and Bai Ruyu also came to the front of the two people.
This trip to the underground, there is nothing new to discover, if there is anything to gain, it should be Shen Qingjiu who is more sure of Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu's feelings for Shen You, and Shen Qingjiu is also more curious about her old ancestor, if possible, she really wants to cross three thousand years to meet her ancestor.
The three of them walked back to the front from behind, and when Yun Ge saw Shen Qingjiu walking back, he walked out from behind the counter, came to her, and said, "I just went to Gu Yu's room, and I really saw the big spider you said, but it's really big, it's so big." ”
She gestured as she spoke, saying, "Next time, I'm not going to go, I'm scared to death, you see, I'm still getting goosebumps." ”
Shen Qingjiu saw the dense little goosebumps on her arm, trembled, and asked, "Did you see that big spider?" ”
Yun Ge nodded and said, "Yes, his eyes can still move, the key is, he can also speak, that woman is so beautiful, she actually raised a spider demon, it is really a special taste." ”
What Shen Qingjiu was puzzled about was that she still saw the spider demon in the backyard just now, but Yun Ge also saw the spider demon in "Gu Yu", and also spoke, is this spider demon capable of doppelganger, or is there two spider demons, and who made the harsh sound outside the wall, Bai Jingjing is watching her go out, she shouldn't be in the Taiji Tower.
"Little Miss?"
Yun Ge saw that she was distracted, and opened his mouth to call her.
Shen Qingjiu came to his senses, smiled, and said, "I know, next time there is such a thing, I'll just go by myself, this time thank you Sister Yunge, you go and get busy." ”
Yun Ge was the only one at the front desk who was here to take care of, she really had a lot of things to be busy with, and after a few simple words with Shen Qingjiu, she walked back to the front desk and continued her work.
Shen Qingjiu turned his head to look at Shao Siyu who was walking behind her, and Bai Ruyu tied a knot in the center of his eyebrows, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, the big spider that appeared in the ruins today was really the big spider who lived in the room of "Gu Yu"?
Although she thought like this, Bai Ruyu's train of thought was in another place, flashing two big eyes full of curiosity, and said: "Little girl, what is 'Gu Yu', isn't that the name of the solar term, why do people still live there, can I go and see it, it will make people feel excited when I think about it." ”
Shen Qingjiu felt that she was not in the same line of thought as herself, and Shen Qingjiu could only shake his head at her request, and said: "This is not good, the guest's room, except for the guest who needs to be cleaned, no one can enter the guest's room without permission, if you want to go in, you can only wait until the next time the guest needs it, but before that, you need to pass the assessment first and become a guest room cleaner." ”
"Housekeeping?"
Bai Ruyu obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.
Shen Qingjiu explained and said, "It means cleaning the guest room and tidying up the room, you ...... Have you done it? ”
Bai Ruyu raised his arm, snapped his fingers crisply, and said: "It turns out that this is the meaning, the small meaning, I have done it, I helped the old man tidy up the room, and the old man also praised me for my diligence, and he also said that if I were a normal person, maybe I would be able to get married." ”
This one...... Is it a compliment?
Shao Siyu listened to her indifferently, and then said coldly: "Indeed, it was just that Shen Bo's window paper was damaged, his bedding was wet, and in the end, a fire was burned to ashes along with the grass house, and Shen Bo slept for three days in the open sky." ”
Shen Qingjiu was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, thinking in her heart that Bai Ruyu's so-called cleaning of the room and what she said about cleaning the room did not seem to be the same thing, and after listening to Shao Siyu's words, Shen Qingjiu didn't dare to let Bai Ruyu clean the room, she didn't want to burn down the Taiji Building with a fire, she would be scolded to death by her grandmother.
Bai Ruyu first glared at Shao Siyu, then quickly changed her smiling face, grabbed Shen Qingjiu's arm with a smile, and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of stinky wood, it was all three thousand years ago, after so many years, I have long learned how to clean the room, you tell me, how to get in." ”
These 3,000 years of time, it seems that Bai Ruyu has spent in deep sleep, and when people are sleeping, can they learn things?
Shen Qingjiu looked at Bai Ruyu suspiciously, however, Bai Ruyu was unconscious, while talking in her mouth, she pulled Shen Qingjiu upstairs, and all she thought about was how to enter the guest room, she was quite curious about the guest room in Taiji Building, and she must find out.
Shao Siyu did not go upstairs with them, he stood in the lobby on the first floor, glanced at it, and then, he saw Yueqing sitting in the restaurant, reading a newspaper, this last night to the second floor of the Taiji Building, another special guest, and at this time, Yueqing had also seen him, and smiled at him, as if inviting him to sit together, so, Shao Siyu accepted the invitation, and walked over.
