Chapter 223: The backyard well smells of wine
It is said that this brocade guard removed the coffin lid, and everyone looked at it, which couldn't help but be surprised, and they all looked at each other, it turned out that there was no one in the coffin, just some gold and silver jewelry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Zhi put aside the Jinyi guard's subordinates, looked straight into the coffin, and asked in surprise, "Is this ...... This...... What's going on? Go and call that stupid son over for questioning!"
This stupid son of Master Ma walked over with a smile, holding something in his hand, and kept smirking at everyone.
"Let me ask you, where did the people go here? If the answer is correct, how about my brother go to the street and buy you candy to eat?" Chen Zhi asked with a smile as he pressed the stupid son's shoulder.
"Okay, I want to eat sugar, I want to eat sugar, it's better to buy me that big golden dragon, I like it, let me win every time, hehe!" the stupid son said with a smile to everyone.
"Then can you tell my brother first, I'll buy it for you later, how about it?
"You're stupid to me, I'm not going to do it! I won't say anything without sugar, you want to know, go find it yourself, huh!" The stupid boy turned away, continued to the front of the hall, and added money to the iron pot.
"You guys search around, see if there are any clues, and if you find it, you can come and report it quickly, and there must be no mistake, I don't believe it, this big living person has not disappeared?" Chen Zhi instructed his subordinates to search in the hall and backyard.
The pines and cypresses lifted the fallen banners and walked towards the small door at the back of the hall, and as soon as they entered, they saw the garden of birds and flowers, butterflies fluttering among the flowers, bees buzzing and flapping their wings, busy collecting nectar in the flowers, and the fragrance of flowers came to the nose.
The pine and cypress marched into the garden, and his eyes looked around, although the incense outside was vigorous, and the smell of wine mixed with it caught his attention, and he followed the smell to a well.
I saw that this well, the part that exposed the ground, was made of white stones, and on the largest stone in the middle, there were three big characters carved on it, which was "Siyuan Spring"! The shadow of the water inside shook incessantly, and the faces of the pines and cypresses were a little distorted and deformed, which looked a little terrifying.
The pine and cypress picked up the bucket, leaned over and gently put it down, the aroma of the wine came to the nose again, more fragrant than the fragrance of the flowers, and then slowly put down the rope, shook twice on the water surface, and suddenly shook it to the side, only to see the bucket slowly sink down, and soon the bucket was filled with well water.
The pine and cypress immediately stepped on the wellhead with his right foot, wrapped the rope around his wrist with his right hand, and slowly lifted it upward, and immediately grabbed the small rope with his left hand, wrapped it around his wrist, and slowly lifted the bucket out of the well.
Songbai squatted down, sniffed in this bucket, and then dipped his right index finger in the well water, put it in his mouth, and shook his head a little puzzled.
Chen Zhi couldn't bear it, and came in through the small door through the mourning hall, and when he saw the pines and cypresses next to the well, he immediately shouted: "Brother, how is it?
Songbai stood up, pointed to the well and said: "I came to this back garden, a burst of wine fragrance came to the nose, this root comes from this well, but I hold the water up, this water is colorless and tasteless, after tasting, there is still some sweet aftertaste, it can be seen that there is no wine smell in this water, as far as I know, there should be a secret channel below, or a dark grid, this wine fragrance should be, from the side of the dark channel, wafting out, this is just my bold speculation, as for whether this is true or false, I want to go down to find out, what does Brother Chen think?"
Chen Zhi kept shaking his head, and said with some worry: "What is the danger down here, it is still unknown, this is my Jinyi Guard's business, if there is a mistake because of this, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to explain to my younger brothers and sisters, you can rest aside, I will send my subordinates in to find out the truth." ”
Songbai saw Chen Zhi's good intentions, and he couldn't refuse again, so he had to sit on the stone next to him, look at the brocade guard, find a basket and tie it with a rope, hold a torch in his hand, and slowly put it down.
The crowd grabbed the rope and slowly lowered it step by step, and the falling stones smashed into the deep well, only to see this ripple.
The rope slowly went down more and more, it was ten meters deep, and it was only when it reached the surface of the water, the brocade guard holding the torch, took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist, swung the swing hard, and inserted the knife into the crack in the stone, which was slowly fixed.
"Lord Chen, there is indeed a secret passage down here, what should I do next?" The brocade guard held a torch, and after some looking, he saw that there was a hollow position above the water surface, which was estimated to be half a person high, and it was also possible that half of it was flooded by the well water.
"You go down to the basket first, wait at the door, and then I will hang the two of you down, and you can go in again, be careful! This Chen Zhi looked around at this subordinate for the next week, selected two strong subordinates, quickly put away the basket, and slowly put one person down again.
The Jinyi guard below stretched out his hand from the mouth of the secret passage, grabbed the basket, and said to him: "Half of the legs of this secret passage are full of water, and it has been submerged to the thighs, you pay attention, don't step on the air, be careful to fall into this deep well!"
In this way, the three of them entered the mouth of this secret passage, and with torches and steel knives in their hands, they walked forward, and after a few bends, they vaguely saw a stone step in front of them, so they quickened their pace and walked all the way.
The stone steps were covered with moss, and one of the brocade guards slipped and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the two people next to him quickly held him up, so he didn't fall into the water.
"Let's go up and see, there should be a cave door or something on this stone step, let's look carefully, and we will definitely find the clue in it." The brocade guard, who had fallen, said to the other two, and climbed up the stone steps together.
I saw that at the end of this stone staircase, there was a stone wall, and there were some vague patterns on it, which was probably too damp, so the dampness on it was serious, so I couldn't see the lines on it clearly.
"Look carefully, see if there is a mechanism on this stone wall, this Ma Defa, building such a tunnel in the backyard, is really an old traitor!"
"I said Tan Tiju, let's explore for a long time, and we haven't found any clues, let alone the mechanism, I see just this mossy stone wall, shouldn't there be no way out?"
"Let's take a look first! If we really can't find it, let's turn back again, and if we do it in a hurry, I'm afraid that Lord Chen will blame us and others." Tan Lixian said to the two of his subordinates.
It was still this thin and tall man who was the first to discover the mechanism on the stone wall, so he shouted loudly: "Deputy Tan Tiju, look here, it seems to be the mechanism of this stone cave, hurry up and take a look!"
Tan Li first twisted the moss-covered mechanism on the stone wall, only to see that the stone wall suddenly retreated, revealing a wet hole, and the three of them hurriedly held torches, and before they could walk a few steps, they heard the miserable screams of the three of them, which reached the mouth of the well in the back garden......
