Chapter 363: A Secret Passage Leads to a Latrine
When Shen Linfeng jumped down the secret passage, the old beggar immediately twisted a raised switch.
"Boom!" came the sound of the stone wall grinding. I saw that the stone cover that had just fallen rose to the ground again. In the end, it was connected to the ground seamlessly.
In this way, the secret passage was plunged into darkness.
"Phew!" a beam of fire danced in the old beggar's hand, and the dim flame reflected his wrinkled cheeks.
He took a torch from a raised stone wall and handed it to Shen Linfeng. The torch felt smooth to the touch, and the rag wrapped around the top still smelled faintly of lamp oil.
"Where does this secret passage lead? Can you go outside the city?"
The old beggar lit the torch in Shen Linfeng's hand, and said, "I used to be able to, but now I can't go outside the city!"
"Where can I go?"
"Aren't you going to the brewery? I'll just try to take you there!"
Shen Linfeng was shocked.
"How did you know we were going to the brewery?"
The old beggar grinned.
"The 'dog master' of the Wild Wolf Gang is my old acquaintance, and he can enter and exit the imperial city freely, thanks to my help!" After speaking, the old beggar raised the torch.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! I'll take you there now, if I delay any longer, then I won't be able to do anything!"
The old beggar was in front, and Shen Linfeng followed.
He looked at the back of the old beggar, and always felt in his heart that this person was by no means as simple as he seemed on the surface.
"Who are you?" Shen Linfeng suddenly asked.
The old beggar also returned to normal, twisted his head, and showed an "innocent" smile at Shen Linfeng.
"Can't you see, I'm just a beggar!"
"A beggar, a beggar can live in such a large house, a beggar can solve such a complicated mechanism, why do you, a beggar, prepare a new torch in the secret passage?"
Shen Linfeng continued to ask, if he changed others, he would definitely be speechless for a while. But the old beggar was very tactful, and he grinned so loudly that he immediately pretended to be crazy again.
"Haha...... It's just a maze game, what's so bothersome? You can't even do that? It's stupid!"
He blindly pretended to be crazy, and Shen Linfeng naturally had no choice. What's more, they are still in danger now, and he really has no mood to study the mystery of this old beggar's origin.
After touching a stick of incense, the secret passage gradually filled with a foul smell. And the smell gets closer and closer, the stronger it gets.
The old beggar turned around and bared his big teeth and laughed, "Do you smell this? It's almost there!"
Shen Linfeng's eyes widened, and he wanted to ask him what he meant by this. But before he could ask, the old beggar stopped.
He pointed to a square plank above his head and said, "Here we are, go up!"
"This is the brewery?" asked Shen Linfeng, pinching his nose.
The old beggar seems to have gotten used to the taste.
"This is not a brewery!!"
Shen Linfeng thought about it, if the brewery was full of this taste, then he swore that he would never drink a drop of wine in his life.
"And what is this place?"
The old beggar smiled and said, "The south side is the latrine, and the north side is the livestock shed!"
Shen Linfeng: "............"
"Where's the brewery?"
"Go out and go east, and after that street, you'll find the brewery on the other side!"
Shen Linfeng turned his gaze to his side, only to see that Qiu Ningxue was pinching her nostrils with her hand, and her pink cheeks were already flushed. When she saw Shen Linfeng looking at her, she nodded vigorously at the other party, obviously wanting to leave here as soon as possible.
The morning breeze was blowing, and the tall corn stalks were blown "whoosh".
"Knock, knock, knock!"
After a few muffled sounds, I saw that the originally flat ground was slowly lifted upward. Then, a pair of eyes emerged from the ground, and he carefully surveyed all around.
"How?"
The old beggar lifted the plank upwards again, and said, "Don't worry, the smell here can kill a cow." Those officers and soldiers are too lazy to get here. ”
"Whoa!", and the plank was completely overturned by the old beggar.
Everyone climbed out of the tunnel one by one, and although the fog had dispersed a lot, it was still white all around.
"Be careful, everyone!"
Shen Linfeng set his eyes on the old beggar again.
"How to get there?"
The old beggar pouted his ass and was covering the position of the wooden board with straw, and after listening to Shen Linfeng's words, he replied without raising his head: "Go forward, cross the street in front, and the opposite side is ......"
Before he finished speaking, the old beggar turned around suddenly, only to see that Shen Linfeng was looking at him with a smile.
"What am I doing? You don't want me to take you there, do you?"
Shen Linfeng was still smiling.
"No, no, I don't want to die, old beggar, you better go by yourself!"
Shen Linfeng leaned into the old beggar's ear and whispered, "Let me ask you, why was I rounded up by officers and soldiers?"
"Of course, it's because you hit the son of the prince's family!"
"Then why did I beat the son-in-law of the prince's family?"
The old beggar raised his head and thought about it, and then his eyes glared: "Follow me!"
Shen Linfeng grinned, he knew that this old beggar was a smart man. And in the question and answer just now, the old beggar has naturally figured out the benefits and disadvantages.
On the day Shen Linfeng went to the southern suburbs, the reason why he would do something to the fat boy was not just because they bullied a poor old man. The most important thing is that the fat boy is disrespectful.
The fat-headed boy looked like he was used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and he was taught such a lesson, how could he swallow this breath? Although it was Shen Linfeng who started beating people, if this old beggar was caught by them, he would definitely not have good fruit to eat.
Therefore, Shen Linfeng's question just now was to let the old beggar know. If he chooses to stay here instead of going with him, if he is discovered by the officers and soldiers, the grievances suffered by the fat boy will be recovered from him.
Fortunately, the old beggar was not really stupid, after Shen Linfeng finished speaking, he took the brunt of the road for everyone.
After turning around in the narrow alley, Shen Linfeng's ears gradually heard the cries of street vendors.
"Arrived?"
"Hmm!" the old beggar nodded.
"Cross the street in front and go straight into the alley opposite. Within 100 meters is the brewery of Nandi City. ”
Shen Linfeng poked half of his head out of the alley, and he carefully observed it for a while. However, the matter was not as simple as the old beggar said, the street was more than ten zhang wide, and the center of the road, as well as on both sides, were full of stalls.
How easy is it for more than 20 of them to want to cross such a street and not be able to attract the attention of others?
