Chapter 179: People Entering the Rain in the West of the Rivers and Lakes (4)
This attic is integrated up and down, square, a corridor inside is divided from left and right, the wooden planks are tiled, both sides are square sliding doors, there are mountains and rivers on the sliding door, and the portraits of ladies.
In the corridor, a young and beautiful woman can be seen serving wine in a tray, pushing the sliding door open and bringing the wine in.
As the sliding door slowly opened, the noisy frolicking sound inside came out, and gradually became depressed as the sliding door closed.
The sound was faint, Ye Yunsheng and Cui Sheng followed shallowly, slowly moving forward, and a light gauze woman holding a fan smiled coquettishly, came over to salute, and greeted softly.
The three of them followed the woman into a quiet room, which was about six steps square, with a tea table in the middle, futon cushions around it, and then a porcelain vase with flower arrangement, a stove tea set, six silver candlesticks in two rows, calligraphy and paintings hung on the left and right walls, and a screen behind the sliding door.
Ye Yunsheng walked around the screen and took a look, it was a narrow soft collapse, red mat and bedding, spread flat on the top of the soft collapse, leaning against the corner of the wall with a wooden hand towel and a wooden barrel for cleaning.
It's really eating and drinking outside, doing things inside, and there is no delay.
He walked back to the tea table, sat cross-legged on the futon, and Qianqian had already greeted the woman, and after a while, a singer also brought wine from a tray and entered here.
Three trips in a row, melons and fruits snacks have been full, this kind of short-legged case that is prevalent in the Tang Dynasty is antique, elegant and elegant, and it is most suitable for two or three people to sit together.
The singer who brought the wine and food, dressed in a colorful gauze dress and bright red makeup, placed the tray on the floor outside the sliding door, closed the door, knelt on the side of the coffee table, and used a long-handled wine spoon to make wine for the three of them.
Ye Yunsheng had a few words with the singer, and then had a drink with her, showing her true colors. chatted with Qianqian, Cui Shengtian, and unconsciously drank a pound and a half of wine.
He covered his forehead, looking like he was overwhelmed by alcohol, and took the singer's hand and invited her to go outside to admire the moon.
It was getting late, and there was a garden near the attic, so how dare the singer go outside with him, and even said that he was a little unwell, so he would wait for a better day and go with him again.
Seeing her exit the room in a panic, the drunken sluggishness and weakness on Ye Yunsheng's face dissipated in an instant, and he gave a shallow look.
"Let's go!"
The singer had gone up to the second floor, and there was no other figure in the corridor, and every quiet room was blocked by sliding doors, and the three of them walked in the corridor, feeling quite forgotten and lonely.
But this environment is in the middle of the heart, shallow in front of the way, a sliding door near the corridor was opened by her a little crack, she glanced inside, turned her head, and showed a happy look on her face.
Cui Sheng walked inside with her, Ye Yunsheng finally closed the door, and heard Cui Sheng say: "I drank here last time and stayed for half a night, could it be that there is a mechanism?"
"I was caught here by them, pretending to be asleep, and I happened to see one of them activate the mechanism. ”
This quiet room is about the same as the place where they stayed before, shallow came to the corner of the wall on the left, lifted the hanging calligraphy and painting, and slapped it in three positions one after another, the mechanism was touched, and there was an immediate movement, only to hear a click sound from the wall to the floor, as if there were several pieces of wood in it knocking and rubbing against each other, the sound was dull, not loud, but there was no need to worry about alarming others.
Cui Sheng held down the handle of the knife hanging on his waist, waiting for the opportunity, and retreated behind Ye Yunsheng, who was holding a long cloth wrapped in Naluo, the most relaxed.
"Is this the end?" Cui Sheng waited for a while, a little nervous and breathless, but nothing changed, he looked left and right, and asked Qianqian.
"Right now. Shallow pointed to his feet.
Sure enough, the floor began to tilt, little by little towards the screen on the other side of the sliding door. Perhaps it was because the machine needed enough tension to pull the entire floor to the side, and in the process, the mechanism that was touched turned the winch, and the tension slowly generated, so some time passed.
As the floor tilted, the three people standing on the edge of the tea table were slowly raised by the floor. The tea tables, futons, vases, candlesticks, screens, and even the stove on the floor did not fall or move.
There was only a tea set on a wooden plate, which slid down and was lifted by Ye Yunsheng in his hand.
The floor in this ashram slopes almost completely, like a seesaw, one high and one low, and as the other end descends widen, revealing a half-human-high cavern with stone steps extending down.
The three of them bypassed the screen and the soft collapse and walked into the stone cave.
Ye Yunsheng glanced back when he passed by the screen - the whole quiet room presented a ridiculous scene, because all the furnishings in the room had not changed, these things were fixed, and they were flat and intact with the entire floor, so it gave people a subconscious illusion, as if the sliding door and the roof were distorted, and what changed was not the floor under the feet but the entire room.
He put the wooden plate with the tea set on the top of the stone steps, Qianqian and Cui Sheng had already walked down, this stone step is about one story high, and there is no need to worry about someone ambushing below, because after touching the mechanism, there is no movement inside, obviously no one is guarding it.
Walking down the steps, it was pitch black all around, and the three people who had been prepared for a long time all blew up the fire and checked the surrounding environment.
Cui Sheng found the oil lamp by the wall, walked over and lit it, Ye Yunsheng saw a torch, resting on the edge of the stone steps, picked it up and rubbed the fire fold, and the flames burned on the torch.
As the light of the fire grew brighter, the environment inside could be seen clearly.
It is a cellar with smooth stone walls and square stones on the floor, so that the air is dry and smellless.
The whole cellar seemed a little empty, with two rows of wooden shelves in the middle, sundries on them, and wine vats in the corners of the walls on both sides, Cui Sheng didn't believe in evil, pierced the seal with a knife, scooped it up with his hand and tasted it, and turned back to Ye Yunsheng and said: "It's Zhu Yechun, which is more mellow than what we drank at night." ”
Ye Yunsheng nodded, looked at Qianqian, and asked, "You won't bring us to this cellar and want to steal other people's wine, right?"
Said with a shallow smile: "Auntie has said, if you haven't been to the secret place of the rabbit house, it is extremely difficult to find, do you want to try it?"
Ye Yunsheng shook his head and said, "I'm not shrewd and careful, so I don't need it." ”
Cui Sheng said angrily: "Hurry up and find out the secret place, maybe there are many people suffering inside, and they have all come here, how can you still be in the mood to joke?"
Shallow stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's actually right in front of you, can't you see it?"
Cui Sheng was taken aback, and then walked around to check, but Ye Yunsheng was standing still, there were all in front of the eye, it was really just a cellar, with flat stone walls on all sides, and there was no horn under the light that had not been illuminated, and there was really no entrance.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe it, so I'll open your eyes now. ”
As she spoke, she walked over to the wall in front of her, as if she were about to hit the stone wall headlong for a moment!
Even Ye Yunsheng, who was calm, couldn't help but be surprised, but he knew that Qianqian wouldn't really be stupid enough to hit the stone wall, so he still waited quietly for things to change.
But such a change was really unexpected by him.
The stone wall was not broken by the shallow head, and there was no change in the slightest, her whole person seemed to have walked into the wall, the wall was still there, but her body still did not stop moving forward, and she walked more and more into the middle of the wall.
At this time, Ye Yunsheng's eyes adapted to the sense of dislocation, only to find that the middle of the wall was empty, and it was a stone path that could only accommodate one person.
The reason why it looks like a stone wall in the eyes and does not show any flaws is because this passage extends inward up and down, left and right, and the four sides are polished and designed to blend with the outer wall without any sense of disobedience.
It's seamless, ingenious!
"This is amazing! Oh my God, who designed this secret place? What Cui saw today is really a five-body throw, and it will never be forgotten!"
Cui Sheng walked to the entrance of the passage, touched here, touched there...... No one noticed that Ye Yunsheng's expression became calm and gloomy, and there was a faint doubt and panic in his eyes.
