Chapter 15: Trouble in the Xie Mansion
The two of them sneaked into the Xie Mansion, but this Xie Mansion is really big, with pavilions, water pavilions, gardens, all kinds of paths, winding paths, and staggered miscellaneous. Not only big, but also extravagant, she has a sense of grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It's true that she has never seen the world, everything she sees is very novel, the stone pillars with lacquered gold strokes, all kinds of strange flowers and plants that can't be named, and the steps made of jade, this is not ordinary wealth, this luxury is much more than the royal family.
All kinds of pavilions and water pavilions twisted and turned, if it weren't for Yan Shi to lead the way, she would almost get lost. Having said that, he is familiar with the road as if he is following up with his own home, I am afraid that he has come here a lot to 'take a walk' before.
Just thinking about it, Yan Shi grabbed her and flew up to the roof lightly. Liang Jian didn't know why he was about to ask what was going on, but he saw Yan Shi secretly make a silent gesture, and then the two of them lay on the roof. A few seconds later, there was a group of government soldiers, about seven or eight people, carrying lanterns and knives, patrolling around.
It seems that the guards of this Xie Mansion are quite strict, and they were almost discovered, so dangerous.
After seeing that everyone was gone, Yan Shi pulled Liang Jian around again, and didn't say where to go. She had to follow Yan Shi all the way around, and finally, he finally stopped just when Liang ran out of breath.
Good guy, she intuitively felt how big this Xie Mansion is, it is almost as big as Pudong Airport, and it can be equipped with a subway.
She gasped breathlessly, and when she looked up, she found them in front of a small, somewhat shabby attic. Compared with the pavilions and pavilions I saw before, this small dilapidated pavilion is inconspicuous at all, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and there is a big lock on the door, but this lock is rusty, and the lock is still piled up with dust and old cobwebs, and the attic is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like a long-abandoned abandoned house. This night is dark and windy, and this abandoned house looks quite crazy under the moonlight.
"Do you want to go in?" Liang Jian cautiously poked her head out from behind Yan Shi to observe, and her intuition told her that it was not easy here. According to the routine in the novel, the more inconspicuous the place, the more secrets are hidden, and there should be something hidden in this abandoned place.
"Hmm." His expression seemed to be a little solemn, and he didn't have the appearance of a fool in the past, which made Liang Jian can't help but become serious.
He picked up Liang Jian, and jumped to the second floor with another light effort. As soon as it landed, a small cloud of dust flew, and sure enough, it had been abandoned for a long time, and a thick layer of ash fell on the tables, chairs, and beds here, and there were a few dog tail grass growing in the corners, and the corners were full of cobwebs. There was also a burning candlestick on the ground, and a thick layer of ash had accumulated on half of the candle.
Yan Shi fumbled for a while, and then very skillfully touched a hidden stake under the bed, twisted it slightly, and the bookshelf in the back corner creaked out, shaking off some dust. Yan Shi walked over and gently pushed the bookshelf open, and there was a secret door behind him at some point.
Yan Shi hesitated at the door for a long time, and then seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head and stretched out his hand to Liang Jian and said, "Come here." ”
He clutched her wrist tightly, stepping step by step into this dusty place that had been sealed for decades.
Along the way, he was silent, just walked quietly, and it was full of all kinds of rare treasures, but he didn't even look at her, just pulled her away. She also understood that this place seemed to mean a lot to him, so she didn't speak, just held him with her hand, Yan Shi's hand was really cold. He seemed to be slightly stunned, feeling the warmth of that hand.
It wasn't big inside, and it soon came to an end, with only one wall. He looked at it for a moment, then pressed a brick on the left, and the wall that had been tightly knit receded a block to reveal an even smaller chamber. There was a portrait of a woman hanging inside, and the portrait was covered with dust, but it was vaguely obvious that it was a woman of good stature. There is also an incense burner under the portrait, and there is a residual incense stick inserted in it, I think it will be extinguished halfway through the burning, the root of the incense has faded into shape, and the incense burner is also full of dust.
Yan Shi carefully took off the painting, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it carefully, and a beautiful face gradually emerged. This woman deserves the name of the country and the city. It is the appearance of a woman from a family, a picture of everyone's demeanor, dignified and beautiful, like a graceful and elegant peony flower. It should have bloomed amazingly, and the age on the painting was only twenty-eight years old, but for some reason it died early.
Yan Shi wrapped the small half of the residual incense in the handkerchief and put it away, and then held the painting for a long time, staring blankly at the people on it, dejected, she had never seen this picture before. After a cup of tea, he finally recovered slightly.
He smiled bitterly, handed the portrait to Liang Jian, and said, "You can help me keep it, there will be more things in a while, don't get dirty." ”
"Oh, don't worry." She didn't know what to say, she looked at him like this and wanted to comfort her, but she was stupid and didn't say anything for a long time. Just silently followed behind him, stretched out a free hand, and patted him on the back. He just smiled and twisted a spider web from the end of her hair, a flash of light flashing in his eyes.
"Look at it next, I'll show you a burning scorpion nest." He smiled sadly, like a rakshasa in hell crawling up to collect debts.
He darkened a mechanism under the incense burner, and another dark compartment. A brick popped out of the corner, and inside was a small box, which he pulled out, quite disgusted. He turned his head and threw the box to Liang Jian, "You can take this." ”
"Oh, good." She looked at the thick ash on it with a little disgust, but considering Yan Shi's current mood, she was still ready to take it silently, but Yan Shi seemed to think of something, and used internal force to shake the dust off it, and then threw it into Liang Jian's arms.
"Those things outside, you can pick a few things you like, and we may not be able to take away more of them." He pushed open the door and walked out, saying as he went, "You pick it first, don't run around, wait for me to come back." ”
"Well, that, this is a crime, right?" She looked at the gold and silver jewelry all over the floor, and her eyes were shining, but she still adhered to the principle and shirked it. She wanted it, but it didn't seem good. How to say that she is also the successor of society who grew up under the glory of socialism, and this kind of stealing chickens and touching dogs is not easy to do.
"Love or not." He rolled his eyes, and just about to go out, he thought about it and added, "It's mine, if you don't take it, it's a cheap white-eyed wolf, it's better to ruin it." ”
"Yours?" Liang Jian was a little surprised, turned his head to look at the valuable objects in this place, and remembered that he was still buying and selling flutes and grilled fish before, but now he has become a rich man?!! She seems to have discovered something terrible!
"What, don't you believe it?" Yan Shi said with some anger, looking at Liang Jian's somewhat suspicious eyes, he was a little unhappy. Jokes were originally his thing, and now it would be ridiculous to let others have to scruple about taking them.
"No, no, since it's yours, then I'll take good care of it!" She immediately retorted, and rushed at him for being so familiar with the road just now, and easily finding every mechanism, she knew that there must be some connection with him here, and since that was the case, then she was not welcome. It just so happens that the least thing that can be done in the rivers and lakes is silver, and now give her a chance to become an upstart, how can she not cherish it?!! As he spoke, he immediately picked up a pair of bracelets of mutton fat jade, wiped the ash on them with the corners of his clothes and put them on his hands.
Looking at her picture of a wealth fan, he felt a little funny, and he felt better when he looked at her, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became.
"I'll go back as soon as I go, you can pick it yourself." He turned and walked away.
Damn, handsome! Liang Jian looked at his back, and suddenly he was handsome! What's going on with this man's sudden charm?!
"It's really handsome." The system came out again at some point.
Liang Jian took out the broken mirror, which was emitting a glowing light, as if to illuminate her. She looked at it, and saw that the broken mirror seemed to grow in size, and some of the broken parts seemed to grow.
"What are you?" She was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
"Don't pick it up yet, every thing here can be worth a year's hard work!" The eyes of the system are shining, so many treasures, it makes people drool when they look at it, Sihasha. It's a pity, the things of the world in the book can't be taken out, otherwise it is easy to disrupt the order.
"Yes, you must bring more!" With this money, she can save a little more time to practice the flute and cultivate her true qi. Although she will practice for a few hours at a fixed time these days, this is far from enough, where can she be worthy of the years of martial arts practice by others? So this matter needs to be stepped up!
"Come on, this sheep fat jade is in great shape!" The system exclaimed excitedly, "And this chain of pure gold, eh, that hairpin is not bad, it is decorated with gems!" "It's all eye-catching, and the things here are really more valuable than the other, what a small treasure trove!
"It's coming, it's coming." Liang Jian asked the system to scan out the most valuable items, and then put them all into the bag. Some can't fit it, so she puts it on her body directly, a bracelet in her left hand, a bracelet in her right hand, a necklace around her neck, and a jade pendant around her waist.
The whole person instantly became a lot more expensive, and the worthless men's clothes on her body were a little shabby, and the fabric was also very inferior, so she was more like a pheasant with colorful feathers swaggering through the market.
"You're so funny!!" The system rolled on the ground, my stomach hurt with laughter, and tears came out of my eyes.
"It seems to be a little." Liang Jian didn't think it was good, he laughed, and he supported the wall while laughing, and then a piece of wall skin fell off.
Liang Jian touched it, and it seemed that something was not quite right, so he picked up the broken mirror and put it up. The wall seems to have been tampered with, the wall skin in some places has been warped, and the workmanship of the wall here is a little rougher than in other places, Liang Jian will buckle it with her hands and tear it off little by little, and her intuition tells her that there is something behind the wall skin. I don't know how long it took to detain, but I didn't notice that Yan Shi had come back because I was too attentive.
"What is this?" His voice trembled slightly.
The sudden voice startled Liang Jian, and the faint fluorescence shone on Yan Shi's somewhat distracted face, he seemed to be a little excited, but he quickly restrained his emotions.
"I don't know, I just saw that the wall skin fell off and I buckled it with my hand, and then that's what it looks like." Anyway, she was so focused on buttoning the wall just now that she didn't notice what was behind the wall, and now it seemed to be a map. Isn't it a treasure map?!
"System?" Liang Jian silently summoned the system with his mind.
"Roger!" The system turned into a camera in a second, and took a picture of the map on the wall without a single point.
"Reliable!" She found that the system was indeed getting more and more clever now!
"That's it!" It's the best advanced system that performs every year!
Yan Shi on the side didn't notice Liang Jian's small movements, he looked at the map on the wall very intently, about a time after a cup of tea, the outside suddenly became chaotic, a group of government soldiers ran around with torches, shouting loudly as if to say, "catch the assassin" or something.
She knew that Yan Shi must have gone out to do something just now, and this time she completely provoked the Xie family, so it was better to run away while no one found her!
Yan Shi raised his hand and destroyed the map on the wall, and he couldn't see what it was at all, and the whole wall was shattered inside.
“??? It's ruined like that? She thought that Yan Shi would draw it, but she didn't expect him to destroy it directly?
"I've already written it down." He flicked his sleeves and shook the dust off his clothes.
Depend on! The ability to never forget! That's awesome, isn't it? Inhuman!
"Let's go, the flies will catch up again in a little while." As he spoke, he picked up Liang Jian and walked out, laughing at her as he walked, "Tsk, I brought so many things, I'm really a little money fan." ”
"Isn't it for the sake of the two of us in the future!" She muttered unconvinced, her neck twisting and turning, and it was uncomfortable to be picked up.
"Don't move, let's go." With that, he landed on the roof on the other side with great ease, and threw a fire at the back.
"Ah, this, breaking the law, right?" She was a little hairy in her heart.
"Huh?" He frowned and turned his head to look at Liang Jian.
"There's a lot of good stuff in there!" She looked behind her with some reluctance, many things were not taken out, and there were even a lot of precious calligraphy and paintings, which were now about to be burned by a fire.
"It's all something outside of the body, nothing to be sorry about." He said ruthlessly, but looking at her dejected appearance, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, he was really a little money fan, but fortunately he was a rich man.
Seeing that more and more people gathered and made a mess, this was the best time to escape, he looked at the main house behind and then took her to avoid the soldiers and guards and went out of the Xie Mansion directly.
I had just returned to the inn, and I had just set up the portrait and the small box, and I hadn't even drunk my tea, but I heard the chaos outside, and the street was brightly lit. When I opened the window, I saw that a group of officers and soldiers outside were holding torches and hurriedly heading in the direction of Xie's house.
Alarming the government so soon? Won t you find out about the two of them liang jian suddenly felt a little scared, she cowered and hid behind the window, quietly looking at the officers and soldiers who were talking anxiously.
"Don't be afraid, the things they have to care about are very messy, and they don't have time to care about us." Yan Shi took out the small wine jug in his arms, and drank leisurely while admiring the fire-filled Xie Mansion in the distance.
"Although, let's get out of this place of right and wrong quickly!" She said weakly, even if she can't find it for a while, if she finds it later, she will soon be dead.
"What to coax, it's not easier to arouse suspicion to leave now." Watching the group of officers and soldiers pouring into the Xie Mansion, listening to the noisy voices in the distance, the mood was never more happy, "Let's go, let's go to the play." ”
??? She just felt that he was justified and put down the burden in her hand, and then heard him say that he was going to the play, and suddenly felt that he was crazy and went to watch the play at this time? The heart is really Daha, do you appreciate your own masterpieces? What a criminal mind.
"There are a lot of people over there now, they won't notice us, the night is long, we have to find something to pass the time."
??? How did he say such things in such a casual tone, the key was that she was actually a little used to it now, and she was suddenly worried about what little conscience she had left, afraid that she would gradually let go of herself.
"Forget it, I'd better go to sleep, I'm going to you." She better stay away from Xie Mansion, she always feels that something is going to happen.
"Oh, it's so boring to sleep, if you go, tomorrow I know how about you practice True Qi?" It's more interesting to do bad things, or two people to do it, and it's the same for falling into the well.
"A month! The next month! She was dragged away, one hand was still counting on her fingers, it was too little a day, this must not be a bargain, there is a teacher to take that must not learn a little more!
"Yes, I'm in a good mood today, you've earned it." He looked really in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth were grinning behind his ears!
What a grudge this thing has with the Xie family! She hurriedly unloaded all the valuable things on her body and put them away, and put them in a safer place with the baggage, and was very satisfied after making sure that no one could find them.
"Don't be stunned, it's not good to miss the show after a while." He picked up Liang Jian's back collar and flew out again.
"Let's discuss, can we change our posture next time, it's so uncomfortable!" Liang Jian tugged at the clothes that strangled his neck, and this posture was still very ...... Embarrassed, being carried like a little chick, doesn't she want to lose face!?
"Okay~" He wrapped his other hand around her waist and held her with the other.
So easy to talk to? I'm in a good mood tonight! Eh, this posture seems to be a little intimate, but it is much more comfortable than the one just now, so she didn't say anything, and looked intently at Xie Fu who was messing up in front of her.
Yan Shi smiled secretly.
