city ​​charmer

"What's wrong, is there something wrong with this tree?"

Seeing Qiao Lingqi's expression, Bai Ye moved closer.

"It's really a bit strange." Qiao Lingxi looked up at the trunk. This willow tree was much taller than the poplar next to it, and its branches were also dense. The space near the trunk was also strange, filled with a faint charm.

"For a willow tree to grow so big, it must have lived for hundreds of years. It is also possible that there is a strange phenomenon." Bai Ye said casually.

Bai Ye walked around the tree trunk while touching it, and just after taking a few steps, he let out an "oops" and almost tripped over.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Lingqi heard the sound and came over.

"God Joe, look what this is."

Bai Ye squatted on the ground, pushed aside the surrounding leaves, and looked at the thing that tripped him just now.From a distance, it looks like a small metal pillar, but when you look closer, you find that it is just a small sculpture with thick fingers, which seems to be in the shape of a human, with long hair and horns on its head.

Qiao Lingxi took a few glances, but didn't see what it was, so he glanced around.The bottom of this tree is full of leaves, and the leaves accumulated over the years are very thick, blocking the ground.

"Clean up the leaves first, and then see what this is." Qiao Lingqi said.

Bai Ye nodded, followed Qiao Lingxi, and cleaned up all the leaves around the statue of the villain. Only then did they realize that the ground under the leaves was not the ground, but a metal cover, just like a manhole cover for a sewer, except that the cover was bigger. Much more, the statue of the little man is the handle of the manhole cover.

"Why is there a manhole cover in this place?"

Bai Ye scratched his head and looked at the manhole cover underneath. Under the willow trees, there was a dreamy and natural place, and there was a manhole cover of a modern city, which was also not harmonious.

"When I came here just now, I noticed that there was a manhole cover on the side of the road, but it was definitely not this big, and there was no such a small statue."

Qiao Lingxi squatted down as she spoke, and carefully looked at the statue of the villain.Under the statue of the villain, there are two characters engraved in traditional characters, but it seems that it has been washed away for a long time, and it is not clear.Qiao Lingxi pursed her lips. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before, and felt familiar, but couldn't remember it.

"The surrounding area of ​​the manhole cover is rusted. It should have existed for a long time. This place should have been developed. Why is there such a manhole cover left?"

Bai Ye looked at the manhole cover and squatted beside Qiao Lingxi. He pinched the figurine and pulled it hard, and suddenly there was a crisp sound.Bai Ye did not expect that the rusted manhole cover could be moved.

"Qiao Lingqi, you can take it off, you help me." Bai Ye looked at Qiao Lingqi.

Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, Qiao Lingxi's hand covered his, and he tightly grasped the statue of the villain.With Qiao Lingxi's strength, the two-meter-wide manhole cover vibrated slightly, and the manhole cover was lifted with only a "boom~".

"Wow, it smells so good."

Bai Ye pursed his lips and took a strong sniff.Not only did the manhole cover not have the smell of sewer, but it was also filled with fragrance.

Qiao Lingqi glanced down, and then turned to look at Bai Ye with disbelief on his face.

"This sewer is really fragrant, I didn't lie to you." Bai Ye said quickly, he did smell the fragrance, it was very strong, and it was also a strange fragrance, but it smelled good.

Qiao Lingxi frowned and took a breath, "But why didn't I smell it?"

"Then I don't know. It's probably because of bad character. You can't enjoy beautiful things."

Bai Ye snickered, with a look of embarrassment, Qiao Lingqi twitched the corner of his mouth, and ignored him.

"A smelly sewer? Is it so unreasonable?"

Qiao Lingqi half-closed his eyes and looked down the well. He suddenly jumped in, and his whole body jumped down, submerged in the darkness.

"Hey! Qiao Lingxi, are you crazy?"

Bai Ye stared. He really didn't expect Qiao Lingxi to jump in.

"Qiao Lingqi, how are you? Are you dead?"

Bai Ye lay on the mouth of the well, looking inside.There was no light inside, it was pitch black, and Qiao Lingqi could not be seen at all.Bai Ye clenched his fists, very worried, praying in his heart that nothing would happen.

"Bai Ye, come down, it's not deep here."

Qiao Lingqi's voice came from the well. His voice was very calm, nothing happened.Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he looked into the well and shook his head.

"I'll forget it. It looks dark to me." Bai Ye pursed his lips and looked inside. He couldn't see Qiao Lingqi's figure, but only darkness.

"Come down, I'll follow you." Qiao Lingqi turned on the flashlight of the phone, looked up at Bai Ye above, and urged.

Bai Ye squatted at the mouth of the well and finally saw Qiao Lingqi's face. He was safe and sound.

"Okay, you have to follow me, I have to go back to school to pay the tuition, it can't be discounted here."

Bai Ye bit his lip, tried a few times, and then jumped down with his eyes closed.

"Oh my god!" Bai Ye yelled, thinking that his butt fell to the ground, but stopped in mid-air.

Bai Ye opened his eyes suddenly, and then saw Qiao Lingqi's face.Qiao Lingqi really caught him and hugged him in the princess' arms, so he didn't get hurt at all.

"Qiao Lingxi, it's reliable!" Bai Ye raised his thumb to Qiao Lingqi. Although the posture was a bit awkward, it was better than falling to the ground.

Qiao Lingqi snorted, and threw Bai Ye forward, onto the ground.

"Oh, really, you've already caught me, so can't you just let me go?"

Bai Ye still fell to the ground, rubbing his butt, and glaring at Qiao Lingqi.But it was also much lighter than falling from above.Bai Ye got up from the ground, turned on the flashlight of the phone, and shone around.

"This is not the sewer, why is it so clean?"

Bai Ye inspected it for a week. There is a lot of space here. The walls seem to have been brushed by something. They are very clean and smooth. There is no water here, but it looks like a passage.

"There seems to be a passage here." Qiao Lingqi called Bai Ye. He took a mobile phone to take a picture. The front was very deep, like a corridor, and the light could not reach the end.

"It's really a passage. There is such an underground passage in the city, and no one has discovered it yet." Bai Ye raised his eyebrows. He has never seen such a place in his 20 years of life.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Qiao Lingxi walking in, Bai Ye grabbed him.

"Don't enter inexplicable places, in case there is danger. According to the normal routine, we will take a few photos here and then leave. We will sell the photos to the media tomorrow, and make money and make headlines. You Don't worry, there will definitely be some unbeatable experts coming here in the future, it's better than us going in empty-handed to have a look."

As Bai Ye spoke, he pulled Qiao Lingqi back, not to mention what was ahead, even if it was nothing, there was no need to take risks.

"Your tricks are really deep." Qiao Lingxi turned her head and glanced at him, with the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
