Zhuangzi was originally inhabited by many people from the Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that when the two of them arrived, they only met a few skinny little guys, and their eyes showed fierce light, and they were not good people at first glance.

Now he has long been knocked unconscious.

Cheng Xi said that there was no psychological burden on the fight.

"Where does this secret passage lead?"

After all, it won't be the prefect's house.

Shen Xingluo's next words confirmed her guess, "Zhou Lesong is in a mansion on East Street, where he raised an outer room. ”

Ah, this week's family is somewhat inherited.

"Zhuang Kun confessed again?"

“.”

Shen Xingluo responded with silence.

Cheng Xi took this as a default, and took the lead in the secret passage with an oil lamp from the side.

It is a considerable distance from Zhuangzi to Fucheng, and the secret passage is narrow and dark, and even if there is a lighting device, it is a little stumbling.

I really miss the flashlight in the space~

After walking for about half an hour, the two found that the secret passage was getting wider and wider, from only one person to two.

"It's almost there, watch the road carefully."

Shen Xingluo passed by her sideways and walked to the front, "Give me the oil lamp."

Cheng Xi was stunned and handed over the things in his hand.

This time, it only took a few minutes, and the originally flat road ahead was transformed into a three-meter-high stone staircase.

The two of them knew they had reached the exit.

"Did Zhuang Kun say where the exit of this secret passage is located?"

"The dormitory of the outer room."

“？”

Cheng Xi inexplicably remembered the bedroom of the third lady of Qingshan Village, and always felt that there was a little similarity between the two.

Is there something wrong with you ancients?

Shouldn't the secret room passage or the like be set up in your own bedroom or study, but only one person knows?

It's a matter of how much trust you have in the person next to you to share your secrets!

It's outrageous.

Shen Xingluo next to him listened quietly for a moment, making sure that there was no sound outside, and slowly pushed open the wooden door, and a faint light came in from outside.

He blew out the oil lamp and walked out, and Cheng Xi took a step behind to follow.

What catches the eye is a screen embroidered with pictures of flowers and birds, and the bed behind the screen is not very clear through the light yarn.

The owner of the room was already asleep, and there was a little vigil girl who slept in a mess next to the bed.

The light came from a lantern hanging outside the room.

The two of them restored the entrance to the secret passage without alarming them, and they planned to climb out of the window.

However, Cheng Xi was stunned when he caught a glimpse of the sleeping person on the bed, and his face was shocked.

This woman looks too much like the beautiful woman who automatically handed over the wooden box!

Shen Xingluo just glanced at her, and when he saw her shocked, he knew what he thought.

"This woman and Zhuang Kun's wife are sisters, and they used to be the top brand of the Cuihong Mansion in Lin'an Mansion, one is good at the piano and the other is good at dancing."

Cheng Xi: "."

Boy.

It turns out that they are still brothers-in-law!

Zhou Lesong's means of networking people's hearts is not a simple answer, and he is sending silver and women, who will not follow him with all his heart?

It's just that being smart is mistaken by being smart.

Walking out of the small courtyard, Cheng Xi quickly had a sense of familiarity - this place was only one intersection from his previous residence.

She has walked this road many times, and she can go back with her eyes closed.

"Let's go back and have a look."

The two of them had a clear goal and went straight to the Shen family's house, but it was very difficult to walk at just one intersection.

Without him, the alleys are now very different from those they were three months ago.

Cheng Xi almost thought he was in the refugee slum.

This was originally the area with the strongest atmosphere of life in Lin'an Fucheng, although the yard of each family is not large, but the density of residents is outrageous, and on average, there are at least seven or eight people in each courtyard.

The noise of children and the barking of cats and dogs in the streets and alleys came and went.

Now not only have they all disappeared, but even the houses have been smashed into a mess, and even a few households have their doors open along the way.

"It seems that Fucheng has not been peaceful recently."

I think that these families have already encountered an accident.

The two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the Shen family's house, where they were expected to be in a mess, the bedding and cotton clothes and other things used to keep warm were gone, and even the wooden tables and chairs were not much left.

Cheng Xi looked in the direction of the study, "Your book"

Shen Xingluo shook his head, his expression was not too frustrated, "The things outside the body should have been taken to keep warm." ”

The two stepped into the study, and it was empty, not to mention the books, and even the wooden bookshelves where the books were stored were removed.

It's a bit miserable.

"The rest of Lin'an Province is probably not much better."

From the small to the big, the most lively residential areas have become like this, and the people can guess what kind of life they live.

The two of them were in a heavy mood and walked out of the house silently.

It is a considerable distance from the residential area on the east side to the prefect's yamen, separated by half of Lin'an City, which gives the two of them a deep understanding of the situation in the city.

Miserable, miserable.

It's worse than the Shen family's house.

Cheng Xi avoided the bloodstained snow on the ground, and heard bursts of suppressed cries coming from the alley.

Along the way, they heard too many similar sounds, and both of them were numb.

The doors of some people's houses were closed, and there was no brightness in the house, but with Cheng Xi and Shen Xingluo's current skills, they knew that there were still people who were trying to stay alive.

Cheng Xi felt a wave of worry in his heart.

"We."

"Let's go to Sun's house first, and then go to Hongwei Dart Bureau."

The two spoke at the same time, and they reached a consensus together.

So the original route turned around and went directly to the nearest residential area to the post station.

Cheng Xi stood in front of a small courtyard door, stretched out his hand and knocked, and the wooden door made a regular snapping sound.

Soon after, the faint sound of footsteps sounded in the backyard.

"Who?!"

"It's me, Cheng Xi."

The wooden door was quickly opened, revealing Sun Xiaorong's long thin face, his expression full of horror.

"Creek, why are you here?!"

The gates are not open!

He served in the yamen, so he naturally knew this.

It was because he knew clearly that the city gate was not opened, and now he was so shocked!

Cheng Xi said casually, "I came in over the wall, where is Aunt Sun?" ”

"My mother is fine, but the weather is too cold, and she has been bedridden because her body is not good."

Sun Xiaorong hurriedly beckoned the two to enter the door, and observed the surroundings extremely carefully when closing the door.

A bright light quickly lit up in a living room in the small courtyard, illuminating the faces of the three people, and the coughing sound of the old man faintly came from next door.

Sun Xiaorong observed the two of them for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's great to see that you are fine, knowing that you have moved to Shenjia Village to live, my mother is worried about you all day long." ”

Now it seems that this young couple, who are worried day and night, eat better than anyone else.

Look, not only is he not thin, but he has grown a lot taller.

In contrast, he is more like a disaster victim who has not eaten for a long time.

Cheng Xi also felt that he was in a hurry today, and he had already brought some food over when he knew that this was the case in the city.
