Chapter 173 - The Lonely Man and the Widow

In the sixth year of peace, August 25.

Ji Furong, who was supposed to appear in the Ji family's ring, was trapped in the secret room.

On this day, in the last ray of morning light, Meng Ran returned to Jijia Wuyuan with Sword Immortal Li Baiyi.

At the gate of the inner courtyard of Jijiawu Garden, Li Baiyi gently put down Meng Ran and ordered: "You just need to rescue her, as for other things, do things according to your heart, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." ”

Meng Ran smiled bitterly, ignoring this earth immortal master with excellent swordsmanship, and directly pushed open the door made of overseas rare wood.

The inner courtyard is still misty, and the sunlight is difficult to penetrate.

Meng Ran walked into the formation leisurely, and in a moment he had already appeared under the rockery.

Meng Ran, who walked up the stairs, had a different mood, not only full of interest in the stone room under the rockery, but also a faint and inexplicable fear.

He was able to enter and leave the stone chamber that day, which was somewhat lucky and lucky, and if he were allowed to go again, he might not have such good luck.

So Meng Ran, who was walking on the stone steps, had the urge to turn around and go back.

Although the Ji family's mastery is very moving, you have to have a life to learn it.

The white bones in front of the stone gate are the testimony of the loser.

The rockery is not high, and no matter how slow you move, there is a time to arrive in the pavilion.

Meng Ran, who was uneasy, quietly looked at the chess jar, his face full of hesitation.

After a long time, Meng Ran let out a long breath, with a resolute look between his eyebrows and eyes, he picked up a white chess piece and put it on the chessboard.

With the sound of a machine spring rattling, Meng Ran disappeared from the ground and fell into a stone well made of boulders.

Because he had fallen once, Meng Ran was quite prepared this time, and landed on the ball of dead leaves and straw in a rather chic posture.

As soon as Meng Ranfu landed, there was a sound of running in the cave, which was Ji Furong, who had been trapped here for several hours.

After Ji Furong saw that it was Meng Ran, the surprise on her face disappeared instantly, and she put on an extremely disgusted expression, and said angrily: "It's you, how did you get in?"

Meng Ran said disapprerovingly: "Naturally, it fell." ”

Ji Furong saw Meng Ran's calm expression, and was angry, so she simply hugged her arms in front of her chest, looking ready to see Meng Ran's jokes.

After Meng Ran sensed the ridicule in Ji Furong's eyes, he smiled very badly and asked, "Has Miss Ji ever found the treasure left by her ancestors?" Is it a divine weapon or a mastery of martial arts?"

No matter how broad-minded Ji Furong is, she can't tolerate this evil breath, she doesn't care about lady's etiquette, and said angrily: "The surname is Meng, are you here to see my jokes? If you don't accept it, let's fight again." ”

Meng Ran shook his head with a smile, and said softly, "Miss Ji doesn't want to go out?"

Ji Furong gritted her teeth and said: "There are huge stones built around here, do you think you can go out? If I could get out, I would have gone out a long time ago." ”

Meng Ran sighed: "No wonder the rules of the Ji family's martial arts competition have been changed temporarily, it turns out that Miss Ji is trapped here, it's really pitiful." ”

Ji Furong laughed angrily and said, "Then Miss Ben depends on how you go out, I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

Meng Ran said with a smile: "It's okay, I brought dry food, even if I can't find a way out for a while, I don't have to be hungry, I just don't know if Miss Ji is hungry?"

At the same time, an untimely sound sounded in the stone well.

There was a rumbling sound in someone's stomach.

Ji Furong was annoyed and ashamed, and simply ran back to the stone gate.

Meng Ran laughed, the laughter was very presumptuous, but there was no sarcasm in it.

After a while, Meng Ran slowly walked into the cave, came behind Ji Furong, looked at the eldest lady of the Ji family with sincere eyes, and said softly: "In Xia Meng Ran, I have seen Miss Ji." ”

Ji Furong didn't understand Meng Ran's intentions, so she pulled a very ugly smile and said perfunctorily: "In Xia Ji Furong, I have seen Meng Gongzi." ”

Meng Ran reached into his arms and took out a bulging square handkerchief.

The square was torn open, revealing the pastry inside.

These pastries were naturally brought by Meng Ran on a temporary basis.

Meng Ran handed over the pastry and said in a sincere tone: "This pastry was just out of the pot this morning, Miss Ji, please use it." ”

Ji Furong took the pastry in disbelief, and didn't dare to deliver it to her mouth.

Meng Ran smiled and said, "Miss Ji doesn't have to be careful, if I intend to harm you, I will be false with you at the beginning, why bother to bring you food when the two sides are at their most stiff?"

Meng Ran laughed rather strangely, and continued: "Besides, I don't have to harm you, if I can't get out, wouldn't I have to face such a deserted stone wall by myself? ”

At this moment, Ji Furong's stomach screamed again, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she stood there full of shame, very overwhelmed.

Meng Ran coughed lightly and slowly paced back to the bottom of the stone well.

After a long time, a small chewing sound was heard in the cave.

......

By the time Meng Ran came to the stone gate again, Ji Furong had already eaten all the pastries in the square handkerchief, and folded the handkerchief stained with some pastry crumbs in his hand.

Meng Ran looked at the handkerchief in Ji Furong's hand, and asked with a smile, "So hungry, how long have you been locked up here?"

Ji Furong's attitude was no longer as arrogant and sarcastic as before, and her expression was a little more grateful, she pursed her lips and asked softly, "What time is it?"

Meng Ran replied: "It was almost noon when I came. ”

"I entered the Garden of Enlightenment at the end of the Child's time, and it has been five hours now. Ji Furong replied truthfully.

Meng Ran pointed at the broken white bones on the ground with the knife in his hand, and said, "Has Miss Ji ever noticed this?"

Ji Furong's face turned a little pale in an instant, and she thought of a possibility.

Meng Ran continued to himself: "If the two of us can't find a way out, then the fate of the two of us will be the same as these people, we will starve to death here and become a white skeleton that no one cares about.

At that time, I'm afraid that the two of us will have to fight each other, and the one who wins will naturally have a bite to eat and can last for a while longer. ”

After hearing these words, Ji Furong's shoulders shook sharply a few times, and she immediately bent down and retched, eager to spit out all the pastries she had just eaten.

Meng Ran just looked at Ji Furong with a smile on her shoulders.

After a while, Ji Furong slowly returned to normal, she wiped the corners of her slightly dirty mouth, and said vaguely: "If it really comes to that time, you can kill me, I will never eat human flesh, and I don't want to wait here alone to die." ”

In the end, this usually spicy and brave Miss Ji actually whimpered and cried.

Meng Ran regretted what he said before, but he didn't know how to comfort the girl in front of him, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "Miss Ji, I actually know the way to get out of here. ”

Ji Furong raised her head slightly, revealing her pear blossom cheeks with rain, and said in a choked voice: "It's all this time, I don't need you to comfort me, let me be quiet by myself." ”

Meng Ran smiled bitterly and said very seriously: "Ji Furong, I really know how to get out of here, someone asked me to save you." ”

Ji Furong looked at Meng Ran with a shocked expression, and her intuition told her that the kid in front of her was not lying, but why did he know that he was trapped here?

Countless questions surfaced in Ji Furong's mind.

Meng Ran coughed lightly and said, "As long as you swear not to tell others about today's events, I will take you out." ”

Ji Furong was stunned for a moment, and did not answer Meng Ran's question, but took two steps forward.

The cave is not big, and the distance between Meng Ran and Ji Furong is not far.

Two steps later, Ji Furong was already standing in front of Meng Ran's eyes, and the distance between the two was only one foot.

Ji Furong glared at Meng Ran fiercely, and then grabbed Meng Ran's cheek desperately like a shrew fighting, and kicked her feet from time to time.

Meng Ran, who felt that he was at a loss, didn't dare to fight back, so he had to dodge desperately.

However, the space is limited, and after Ji Furong finished venting, Meng Ran had a fresh scratch on his face, a few more cuts on his placket, and five or six more footprints on the hem of his clothes.

Ji Furong stared at the disheveled and embarrassed Meng Ran for a while, and couldn't hold back her mood anymore, so she burst out laughing.

Cheerful laughter echoed in front of the stone gate for a long time.

Meng Ran sighed softly in his heart, silently reciting the classic sentence of Wen Sheng.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise.

The ancients did not deceive me!

Ji Furong was a little hairy by Meng Ran, quickly restrained the smile on her face, and said very embarrassedly: "Who asked you to bully me!"

Meng Ran was speechless, and secretly slandered himself in his heart: "Women are really a kind of magical animals, they can't be provoked, they can't be provoked." ”

Seeing that Meng Ran didn't speak, Ji Furong realized that her previous behavior might have gone too far, and said softly: "Furong apologizes to Meng Gongzi, please ask Meng Gongzi to forgive the little girl." ”

Meng Ran waved his hand and said in a harmonious voice: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't scare Miss Ji." ”

"It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have beaten you and arrested you. Not to be outdone, Ji Furong apologized.

Meng Ran suddenly felt a hot feeling on his left cheek, and reached out to touch it gently, only to feel that his fingertips were half wet.

When I looked at it, I saw a faint trace of blood lying on my fingertips.

At this time, Ji Furong also saw the wound on Meng Ran's face, and secretly said in her heart that it was not good, so she hurriedly took out the handkerchief in her arms, wanting to wipe the wound for Meng Ran.

Meng Ran saw Ji Furong bully forward, thinking of her previous actions, she didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly stepped back.

Ji Furong was bored, and said with interest: "You have blood on your face, wipe it with my handkerchief." ”

After Meng Ran took it, he thanked him very politely, which made Ji Furong even more sulking.

After wiping it, there was already a wisp of blood on the handkerchief.

Meng Ran looked at the bloodstained handkerchief, and said softly: "Miss Ji, this handkerchief was dirty by me, and I will return it to you after I wash it, how about it?"

Ji Furong's cheeks were half red, and she hummed inaudibly, and her heart under her clothes was beating non-stop, like a war drum.
