Chapter 53: Vitality
There is a night pearl in the carriage.
Because it was too dark in the car, Xie Zhiyun asked him to take out the Night Pearl, and the three of them groped up and down in the car with the faint light of the Night Pearl.
As long as there is a secret door, there is a mechanism.
Xie Zhiyun is very knowledgeable, and he has read thousands of books when he was young, so he is also involved in Luban's skills.
She asked the two of them to fumble for the mechanism under the carriage, while she stepped on the stool and groped carefully on the roof of the carriage.
The secret door is not under the car, but on the roof.
The three of them fumbled for a moment, but still didn't find anything, Zheng Niangzi sweated again, and said tremblingly at the moment: "Young lady, I didn't find it, what should I do?" ”
Xie Zhiyun also got down from the stool, and the three of them sat there, all a little at a loss.
Chaoyu was clever and intelligent, she looked inside the carriage and asked Xie Zhiyun: "Miss, will it be in the window, or in the back compartment?" ”
Xie Zhiyun has read a lot of Luban miscellaneous books, and the secret door is rarely placed in the car window and the back compartment, but at this moment she said: "It's not impossible, let's look for it again." ”
So the three of them groped around the four walls of the carriage repeatedly, and even the square table was moved open, and all the drawers inside were opened.
Nothing.
Zheng Niangzi was tired and hungry, and she was already a little unable to hold on at this time, and the successive blows made her a little depressed, and she shrank on the stool and muttered to herself.
"No, really?" Zheng Niangzi clasped the barbs on her fingers and pulled out a piece of flesh and blood, "Is there a secret door in this carriage?" ”
Xie Zhiyun didn't comfort her, she just told him: "The little grandfather will definitely save us." ”
For everyone in the Suguo Mansion, Wei Cang and Wei Halberd were like gods in the sky.
There is no need for Xie Zhiyun to talk nonsense, as long as he takes out the little grandfather, Zheng Niangzi will be able to get up immediately.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Zheng Niangzi didn't even clasp her hand.
"Yes, yes, the little grandfather will definitely come to save the young lady, the little grandfather likes the young lady so much, and the grandfather and the lady also like you so much......"
Xie Zhiyun felt a little funny: "Why don't you like it or not, I and Wei Ji are just ordinary couples." ”
Zheng Niangzi raised her eyes and looked at Xie Zhiyun with those somewhat distracted eyes.
She regained strength in her eyes and was sure of the future.
"Young lady, the little grandfather treats you differently," Zheng Niangzi didn't know whether to comfort her or herself, "That was the first time I saw him treat a person like that." ”
"You are the most special to him."
Xie Zhiyun's heart jumped, only to feel a hot current surging up her limbs, the tiredness in her body and the irritability of being trapped were blown away by the warm current, and she seemed to have strength again.
Regardless of whether what Zheng Niangzi said was true or not, Xie Zhiyun believed in Wei Ji's personality.
Even if it was just an ordinary person trapped in the carriage at the moment, the garrison would do its best to rescue him.
Xie Zhiyun raised his head, looked at the lamp holder fixed in the back of the carriage, and muttered: "We are not in a hurry, it has only been an hour since we were engaged in the development, let's rest for a while, and then look for it when we are in better spirits." ”
Chaoyu leaned on her side, took a handkerchief for her and wiped her hands and face, so that both of them were more comfortable, and Zheng Niangzi leaned against the other side of the car wall, closing her eyes very obediently to recuperate.
Xie Zhiyun saw that she was in better spirits, thought about it, and found a topic to talk about.
"That coachman is an old man in the house, are you familiar with it?"
Speaking of the coachman, Mrs. Zheng immediately gritted her teeth with hatred.
She regained her spirits, opened her eyes and said: "Young lady, the coachman is indeed an old man in the house, I remember that in the early years, I was an errand boy in the state pastor's mansion, specializing in pulling a car for the Chen family, and then the Chen family was gone, and the state pastor lady also returned to her parents' house, and the grandfather of the country took pity on the old people in the house, and they were all included in the Wei family's mansion. ”
"Grandpa Guo is a kind-hearted person, his wife is also kind, the servants in the family do not worry about food and clothing, and they are respected when they go out, to be honest, I really can't imagine that anyone will betray Grandpa Guo."
Xie Zhiyun said lightly: "Everyone has their own thoughts, he may be for money, maybe for his relatives, no matter what, he has already made a choice, if he can see him again in the future, it must be the enemy of the Wei family." ”
"He probably didn't know how wrong the decision was today."
Zheng Niangzi didn't understand, but said: "Why doesn't he want to think about it, the Suguo Mansion will ...... in the future."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng was silent.
Because Xie Zhiyun suddenly got up and walked to the back compartment wall, she was the tallest of the three people present, and she directly reached out to touch the lamp holder hanging on the back compartment.
Horse-drawn carriages occasionally travel at night, and the Night Pearl can only barely be lit, so the carriage is actually equipped with candles and lampholders.
The lampholder and lampshade are made of glass and fixed to the rear compartment wall, so that not only does not let the light and shadow sway, but also prevents water from leaving.
Because the outside is covered with oilcloth, the small scissors equipped with the wick in the car can't be cut at all, and the space in the entire carriage is small, Xie Zhiyun was afraid that the three of them would be stuffy inside, so he didn't let the candles be lit just now.
So they didn't pay attention to the lampholder.
Fang is the back compartment that Zheng Niangzi checked, but she was too familiar with this carriage, and the lamp holder was very ordinary, so she missed this mechanism.
Xie Zhiyun poked his head over, looked at the lampholder carefully, and only saw that there were four card slots on it, which could just jam the glass lampshade, and the support below was divided into two and fixed on the rear compartment wall in a triangle.
If you take the Night Pearl and look closely, you can see that there is a circle of scratches on the wall of the small box where the lampholder is fixed.
The scratch was very shallow, and if you didn't come forward and look carefully, you wouldn't find it at all.
Xie Zhiyun threw the Night Pearl back to Chaoyu, she stretched out her hand and held the lampholder steadily.
"Sit tight." Xie Zhiyun said as he tried to twist the lampholder.
There was only a click, and the lampholder was turned straight to the left.
There was a twitching sound of chains inside and outside the carriage, and then a crack opened at the bottom of the front compartment near the bench, and a floor about two feet square opened downward, revealing a swarthy hole.
This is the secret door left by Wei's carriage, which can really save lives at critical times.
Zheng Niangzi was almost crying with joy, and even Chaoyu's breathing became rapid, and both of them stared at the entrance of the cave.
Xie Zhiyun turned around and made a silent gesture to the two.
She drew the dagger from her waist, removed its scabbard, and stared at the dark hole.
The room outside seemed to be opaque, and now it was daylight, and from the entrance of the cave, only the dark earth could be seen.
There was no wind outside, no birdsong, and it seemed that only this small carriage and the three people in the carriage were left between heaven and earth.
The place where the carriage was imprisoned appears to be a windowless room.
There is probably no one outside, they just want to kidnap and imprison her, take this opportunity to eliminate the evidence of stealing grain reserves, and do not dare to kill her directly.
Chaoyu became nervous and wanted to step forward to protect her, but the lady also whispered: "Young lady......"
Xie Zhiyun turned around and smiled at them.
"There won't be any outsiders in this room, I'm just going to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"We can get out."
