Chapter Twenty-Four: I Can't Pick the Lock
Very smoothly, Ning Yufei and the two arrived outside the stone house. In fact, it has always been said that it is a stone house, but it only emphasizes the difference between the two houses. The rest of the wooden houses look ordinary, and they are about the same size as ordinary houses.
But these two stone houses, not only are they all made of stone, but they are also plastered with a layer of lime, which is both spacious and magnificent! There are many rooms in each of them, which are the places where the two chiefs hide their beauty.
Ning Yufei circled around the house, and although he saw several windows, there were iron bars blocking the outside! And the whole house only had one door! In addition, the gate was closed at this time, and it was almost impossible to sneak in silently.
In this regard, Yu Lianyi had no choice for a while, after all, she could only expose some martial arts at most, which made her unable to do anything else.
"By the way, what about your pet?"
Ning Yufei's voice was very small, for fear of being heard.
"Pet? You mean Bi, it's not a pet! It's my good friend!"
Even at this time, Yu Lianyi did not forget to argue with Ning Yufei.
"That's it, where did it go? If we had it, let it out and create some chaos, then our actions would be much easier. ”
"It's out to play, and it thinks you're boring, why do you want to stay with you? It's all your fault. ”
Yu Lianyi's expression was coquettish and her tone was playful.
Ning Yufei was very strange, such an embarrassing thing had happened between them, not to mention that she was still full of grievances and unwillingness yesterday!
Ning Yufei's suspicion of that incident became even heavier, after all, if that kind of thing really happened, even if they were together in the end, there would be a gap in the early stage, right?
But at this critical time, Ning Yufei chose to remain silent.
Seeing that Ning Yufei was silent, Yu Lianyi suddenly felt bored, but suddenly reacted to the fact that just now, it seemed that there was a big problem with her demeanor and expression just now! But she saw that Ning Yufei didn't ask, and thought that Ning Yufei hadn't noticed this, so she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The two who came back to their senses thought again, how can they enter silently?
Suddenly, Ning Yufei thought of Zhang Qing and his wife, since they went to the house over there, it means that the house over there is the house of Li Zhong, the owner of the big village, then this side should belong to Zhou Tong.
He told Yu Lianyi about his speculation, and Yu Lianyi was also Bingxue smart, so she reacted immediately. "Someone will definitely come to call Zhou Tong then! Besides, noon has arrived, they should have a banquet, that is our chance!"
Ning Yufei nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a little minion to call Zhou Tong.
Then Zhou Tong took a few ladies and went to the room on the right. And in this process, Ning Yufei and the others have been standing next to the door, and when several people have gone out, they lifted their bodies and instantly got in from the door, bringing a breeze.
Zhou Tong, who was walking in the front, felt something slightly, but because the injuries on his body were not healed, he thought he was hallucinating, so he shook his head and continued walking. In the end, the door closed, and only Ning Yufei and the others were left in the room.
Seeing that there was no one guarding outside, Ning Yufei relaxed and untied the ability covering the two of them, and then he felt a wave of weakness attack.
Gu energy awakening, although it can make people have strange abilities, but to use these abilities, it is not possible to have good physical fitness! Because the use of abilities consumes people's energy, which includes mental and physical strength! Ordinary people, even if they have strong willpower, it is impossible to use ordinary abilities for too long, otherwise they will faint due to exhaustion, or even die directly! And martial artists, even if they are outside martial artists who have not practiced internal strength, their bodies and spirits are not comparable to ordinary people, which also allows them to use their abilities for a longer time. Of course, even if it is a martial artist who has cultivated internal strength, unless he is practicing kung fu in the cultivation of the body and spirit, he can still increase the time or number of times he uses his ability, and if he uses other kung fu, it will hardly help. As for Ning Yufei, he has received strict training since he was a child, his body is very strong, and he has cultivated Taoism, can cultivate himself and cultivate his spirit, and has experienced the pain of memory shock, which makes him tenacious. The combination of these has reduced the load on Ning Yufei's use capacity a lot.
But as one of the most powerful and anti-heaven abilities, the energy consumed by each of the abilities of the 'Yu Zhi Gu' was a little greater than that of ordinary Gu energy, not to mention that it was used by two people at the same time, and it had persisted for so long, it was no wonder that Ning Yufei was a little tired.
Looking around the room, this is just a lobby, the equivalent of a living room, with only a table with teapots and cups on it. And in the innermost, there is an offering platform, on which there is the god seat of Guan Erye. Next to the offering table is the door of the bedroom.
Ning Yufei poured himself a cup of tea and rested for a while before feeling refreshed. If someone else were here, he would definitely be amazed at his resilience, but Yu Lianyi had already received many shocks recently, and even the whole person was a little numb.
As for the origin of this extremely strong resilience, even Ning Yufei himself didn't find any clues, but there were only benefits and no disadvantages, so he didn't think much about it.
The two of them began to search, but it was clear that there was nothing in the living room, and if they wanted good things, they had to go further inside to get them.
When they reached the door next to the innermost offering table in the lobby, they found that the door was locked.
"Zhou Tong is really cautious this time, it's not enough to have a lock outside the door, and it's even locked inside the house!"
Ning Yufei was a little speechless, in his impression of the Song Dynasty, there was only a cloth curtain in the room, right! This is not scientific! He muttered a few words angrily, looking at the copper lock on the door.
This kind of lock has been described a lot in the book, even in costume TV dramas, Ning Yufei has even excavated it at the archaeological site! Of course, that doesn't mean that he can open it.
"It's not easy to do now, although there is no one guarding outside, but if there is any noise, it will definitely alarm those masters, after all, there is only a distance of more than ten zhang, and a little big movement will alarm them. If they really find out, then we will be turtles in an urn. ”
Ning Yufei looked at the lock, and studied it carefully for a while, and finally there was no way.
"Isn't it just lockpicking? You don't know how to do this little trick?"
Yu Lianyi was always behind him, without saying a word, and when she heard Ning Yufei's voice and looked at him depressedly, for some reason, she was very proud in her heart. At this time, the voice and eyes were all smug and contemptuous, as if to say: "This is not good, you are still a man?"
Ning Yufei was angry at first, aren't you provoking? But thinking of her words again, he instantly threw these emotions out of the clouds.
"Will you pick the lock?" Ning Yufei was surprised.
"Of course!" Yu Lianyi is still a twenty-eight girl after all, although she has experienced a lot, but she is like an ordinary girl at this time, full of coquettishness.
I saw Yu Lianyi pull out the hairpin on her head and put it into the keyhole, I don't know how she tinkered a few times, and with a "card wipe", the lock had been opened.
Ning Yufei pushed open the door, and the two walked in one after the other.
The layout of the house is not complicated, like a guest room moved from an inn, just a small table, a few low stools, and a soft couch. There is only a small window in the room opposite the bed, which is sealed with iron bars, this is the small window that Ning Yufei saw outside.
At the foot of the bed, there are two curtains that lead to the other two bedrooms. The layout of the three rooms is not much different, and the two rooms are also interconnected, except for a common dressing table with some rouge gouache and other items on it. Of course, Yu Lianyi doesn't look down on these ordinary goods, let alone Ning Yufei, he doesn't understand these at all.
There is no kitchen here, and no secret room has been found, but nothing of value has been found, which makes the two of them mutter, is the second-in-command of the cottage so poor?
Yu Lianyi pouted, a little dissatisfied, the bed that she didn't want to touch because of her cleanliness habit was also turned over by her, so she almost turned the bed over.
But unfortunately, nothing was found.
Ning Yufei remembered his previous habit of occasionally hiding secrets under the bed, so he bent down and found a small box under the bed.
The box was only a foot square, but it was not light.
Ning Yufei put the box on the table and sat on a low stool himself. Yu Lianyi was also full of surprise, her eyes were shining, and she also came over.
Four eyes with surprise, their eyes focused on the box. Ning Yufei first patted the dust on it, and was about to open it, but saw that there was a hidden lock on the box, and only the keyhole was left outside.
"I'm going to go! This Zhou Tong is really not a thing! Isn't it just to borrow something from you, I need to put it like this!"
Ning Yufei doesn't believe in novels at all, if he is really the hero described in "Water Margin", how can he be so meticulous? Unless it is the kind of Zhu Wu and Wu Yong who can do it!
"You're really, you can't pick the lock, so give it to me! Wait for it to come out, we'll split the account in seven, and I'll be seven and you'll be three!"
Yu Lianyi's eyes seem to have gold glowing!
Ning Yufei suddenly discovered that the current Yu Lianyi, both in demeanor and temperament, was different from when he first met, but because of the impact of the soul sea some time ago, he didn't find this. Now that his soul has calmed down, and the chaotic sense of memory has slowly recovered, he has realized that this is different. But now was not the time to think about this, he planned to go to the Daimyo's Mansion first to see what Yu Lianyi wanted him to do, and then decide whether to help her or not. Although I don't know what Yu Lianyi's purpose is, it can be seen that she has no bad intentions.
Yu Lianyi didn't pay attention to Ning Yufei's abnormality, and held the small box for a while, and then heard the sound of "click", and the lock had been opened.
But Yu Lianyi did not open the box immediately, but first turned the box to the side to face herself, and then pried the lid open with a hairpin from the side. While prying, he also brought his own explanation.
"In case there is a trap, or a silver needle, or poison gas, just open the box like this, and you won't be hit by the trap!" Finally, the box was opened, and there was no trap.
What caught the eyes of the two was a few pieces of broken gold and a few ingots of silver, pressing a stack of crossovers. When they landed, the two looked at each other and smiled
