Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Although he came halfway through, Xue Lince's body could still feel the pain of death, and the grief traveled through time to his heart. When a gust of cold wind blew, it seemed that he really had the auditory hallucination of Xue's family struggling and shouting in his ears, and immediately fell asleep. With a sudden tremor, the light flickered, and the lantern in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tang Luoyu saw his abnormality, and went forward with the lantern, reaching out to hold his palm.

Her palm was warm, but Xue Lince's was slightly cool. The temperature spread from the fingertips. Xue Lince's heart flickered, and when he lowered his eyes, he happened to meet her eyes.

The moon hides behind the thick dark clouds, and does not give any light. The courtyard behind the fire is like a monster standing in the middle of the night, making people shudder, but Tang Luoyu seems not to be affected by this weird atmosphere at all.

Her eyes are clear and bright, and the warm candlelight spreads a layer of soft orange on her cheeks, which are as delicate as white jade, and the long eyelashes like crow feathers cast a layer of light gray on the eyelids. There are no waves, like a quiet lake of black water. When looking at Xue Lince, he is full of concern.

The center of his eyebrows twitched, and he squeezed her hand back forcefully, a solid warmth surged in his chest, the husband and wife looked at each other silently, and the words of concern were in the flowing eyes.

"A few, please come with me."

Cen Ju opened his mouth to break the silence, but his voice was scattered by the night wind. When Xue and Tang looked up, they realized that he was already walking ahead with a lantern.

Jing Shan nodded at the two, and the three followed Cen Ju side by side.

After bypassing the burnt-black corridors with incomplete shapes, stepping on the dusty stone stairs, and bypassing the walls that were still emitting scorched gas, Cen Ju finally stopped in a relatively open place.

He raised the lantern and looked around, as if he was confirming something, he let out a long sigh after lowering his arms.

"This was originally the back garden of the Xue family. When it was not burned down in the past, my wife liked to plant some exotic flowers and plants." His voice was trembling, and he actually cried a little. "At that time, even the soil was specially wrapped with leaves and earthworms. The shady place was put on hold until March, and time has passed, but..."

Two lines of tears dripped down his weather-stained face, Xue Lince's eyebrows twitched twice, and a sense of desolation and sadness rose in his heart.

But they didn't have that much time to delay, they came to find the secret way this time, not to express their condolences.

"Mr. Cen's condolences," he said in a steady voice, "Hurry up and take us to find the tunnel leading to the secret mansion."

Cen Ju just came to his senses, quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves, then raised the lantern and walked forward. The road paved with bluestone slabs has long lost its original color, and there are only flying black ash on the ground, walking a little faster , then poured into the nose and mouth, extremely choking.

After walking for a while, Cen Ju finally stopped at the corner.

There are many huge stones piled up here, which have long been burnt to blackness, like a giant squatting in the dark and meditating. Presumably these are the stones that were left in the garden to build rockeries.

"That's it. There's a stone door in the middle of it, and the mechanism to open it is hidden on the rocks of the rockery." Cen Ju sighed, "It's a pity that the rocks were burnt too badly, so it might be difficult to find them."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and groped on the charred stones.

Jing Shan's temples twitched, a little surprised, his spies had also looked for this rockery at that time, but they didn't expect that there was a mechanism hidden in it.

Thinking of this, he put down the lantern, rolled up his sleeves, and searched among the stones.

Xue Tang and his wife looked at each other, then rolled up their sleeves and searched among the rocks one by one.

Years of rain washed away all the ashes that could be washed away on the stone, and the remaining charred black matter had already become a part of the stone. It looked dirty, but there was no dust on the hands.

Tang Luoyu searched along the grain of the stone, and finally found a cyan-colored palm-sized bump on the surface of the charcoal-black stone. She moved in her heart and pressed down hard, and she heard a burst of "boom, boom, boom" around her. The sound of stones rubbing against each other made the ground tremble slightly.

The rest of the people were startled and turned their heads one after another, only to see that the ground paved with boulders slowly opened a hole that could accommodate two people passing side by side, like a monster hiding in the night with its mouth wide open.

Everyone picked up the lanterns, and Xue Lince took a look into the cave, and saw that it was full of spirally distributed stone ladders. The light illuminated a limited area, and if you went deeper, you couldn't see the bottom.

Cen Ju was overjoyed, "It's here! Back then, in order to prevent outsiders from finding out, Hou Ye specially built this tunnel very deep. My lord, madam, don't be afraid, this tunnel looks scary, but as long as you walk through this ladder, the bottom is flat Way to go."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves higher and volunteered to go first.

Seeing that he had no intentions, the three felt relieved, and followed him one by one after he got off the ladder. It seems that there are thousands of people around.

The few people went down bit by bit, and the light dispelled the darkness bit by bit. After walking for about a cup of tea, the four finally saw the dry ground.

Cen Ju raised the lantern, and saw that there was still a cramped passage in front of him, which was arched and only allowed one person to pass through.

"Passing through here is the bamboo forest," he turned his head and introduced to several people, "please follow me."

After all, he took the lead and walked in front, Jing Shan followed closely, Xue Lince deliberately let Tang Luoyu walk in the middle, and he walked in the end.

The air in the passage is extremely dry, full of dusty smell, probably buried deep underground, but there are no spiders and cockroaches here.

The echo gradually weakened, and after half a stick of incense, everyone finally saw a light appearing in front of them, and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Pushing aside the weeds at the entrance of the cave, several people came out of the cave one after another. At this time, the sky was dim, and the moon had fallen from the top of the mountain at some point. The east began to glow white, and the color of clouds could be faintly seen in the sky.

After getting out of the dull tunnel, everyone felt refreshed. They took a few deep breaths of air, stepped out on the grass, and their clothes and shoes were stained with moist morning dew.

"There is the bamboo forest," Cen Ju pointed forward deftly. "In the middle of the bamboo forest is the secret mansion built by Lord Hou. There is only this part of the road left."

The three looked around, and sure enough, they saw a dense dark green in front of them. The plants were tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, like soldiers who had been standing still after years of wind and rain. The breeze was blowing, and the bamboo branches collided with each other, making some crisp sounds, coming towards them A breath of fresh air is refreshing.
