I want to do research even if I have no money

Chengning Villa is located in Ningshan County, and Ningshan County is located in the southernmost position of the entire Dazhou. From this, it can be imagined that the summer in Ningshan County is very hot.

Summer came early this year, and Situ Meng had never been in the south in two lifetimes, so he didn’t know how hot the summer in the south could be so hot——Teppanyaki on the bed, the kind that comes with its own flip; In the house is a sauna; walking on the road is a barbecue, just a handful of salt and pepper.

He misses modern air conditioners and fans all the time. He lay on the bed and thought about it. Fans can be made, but the temperature here is so high. The fans are turning, and there is hot air coming and going. It’s better to do it on the spot It's cool to lie flat.

What surprised Situ Meng was that even though the weather was so hot, Liu Shen still insisted on coming to the manor to play with him every day.Situ Meng couldn't refuse Hei Niu'er's invitation, so he had no choice but to throw himself into the embrace of nature under the sun that seemed to turn him into a salted fish—God knows that he only wants to throw himself into the embrace of his own wooden bed now? !

The two played by the river for a whole day. The young Liu Shen harvested a basket full of river fish and prawns, while Situ Meng harvested a bundle of aquatic plants—he slipped and fell into the water. He didn't expect the river to be so deep. Fortunately, Undead's feet were caught by water plants and he couldn't swim up. It was Hei Niuer who dived down and untied him.

At that time, the guards guarding nearby thought that something happened to Jing Shen, and they all prepared to jump into the river to rescue him. Fortunately, Jing Shen swam up quickly, and gave the guards a wink before Situ Meng found out, telling them to hide quickly.

Situ Meng was exposed to the sun for a day and fell into the water again. Although he was rescued by the depth of field in time, he was still a little mentally ill.Seeing that his complexion was not good, Jing Shen said that he would not go home and would stay in the Lin Mansion to take care of Situ Meng.

As for taking care of or adding trouble, that's another matter.

Two and a half teenagers lay side by side on the same bed, their arms and legs touching each other, making this summer night even hotter.

"Stop rolling, it's getting hotter and hotter, let's stop and rest." Situ Meng lay flat and still, like a tree trunk, and the black girl beside him would inevitably bump into him every time there was any movement, Let him also become impatient.

"It's too hot!" Jing Shen couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up and complained to Situ Meng, "Is there no ice in your villa? Even if there is no place to make ice, you can buy it from Yangzhou and ship it over!"

Situ Meng tried his best to calm himself down, and explained: "It's useless to bring it over. There is no ice cellar in this villa, nor is there a cellar. The ice will melt before it is brought in at night."

"If you don't have an ice cellar, just dig one yourself! Think about it, how many tenant farmers are there in such a big manor? Surely you can't eat up the grain handed in by each household every year? Where can you put the unfinished food? Can the granary store it?" Some, but there are always some fruits and vegetables that must be stored in the cellar, and the summer in the south of the Yangtze River is like a raging fire, if there is no way to make ice, how will the summer months be spent?"

Situ Meng rolled his eyes, "Your point is only the last half of the sentence, right? Who doesn't know how to make ice in the hot weather? I also want to bring ice bricks back from Yangzhou Mansion and fill the wing room with ice bricks." But think about it, these are all money! The cellar is not something you can dig if you want, where to start digging, how deep to dig, how much labor to hire, and maybe even a master to design it... These are all Can it be conjured up by talking about it? Look at this villa, look at me, and ask your conscience, do I look like a rich man? Ah?!"

Situ Meng started to get dark, and even the depth of the field was confused by his question. He looked at Situ Meng lying dead, then looked up at the empty room, and said sincerely: "...it looks really poor. But... Isn’t it just money, as long as you have enough money, you can build an ice cellar, isn’t it difficult?”

Situ Meng was about to be laughed at by him, "Brother! If money is so easy to earn, would there be people in this world who can't eat enough and can't sleep... Forget it, I can't tell you brats."

"You are like this again! You treat people like children all day long, and you are only 15 years old this year, so you are three years older than me! Not 30 years! Don't act like an elder all day long, okay?!"

Situ Meng is good at everything, but treats him like a child all day long and educates him like an elder, which makes Jing Shen very angry, but every time he argues, Situ Meng will coax him like a child, making him even more angry.

Jing Shen slammed on the bed and lay down as if revenge, to vent his anger, don't look at him being thin, people who practiced martial arts since childhood are very forbidden to fall...

"Okay, okay, I get it! Don't move around anymore, be careful to roll out of bed later... Did you listen to me? Can you give me some response...Huh? Where is the person? Where did the person go ? Xiaoshen—Xiaoshen—”

Situ Meng was talking to someone, when he turned around, he found that the person was gone.Although the black girl is dark, she will not be able to blend into the night, besides, there is only such a little space in the bed, and the person was still close to him just now, so it is impossible to disappear out of thin air...

"Impossible, he was lying here talking to me just now, why did he disappear suddenly? Could it be that there is a mechanism here? But I have slept for several months, and I didn't find any mechanism..."

Situ Meng searched around the room, and then went back to the bed, but the black girl seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, no matter how much he called, no one responded.

He groped carefully on the wooden bed with both hands, and then knocked on the wall behind—well, it was solid.Thinking that Hei Niu fell down with a bang just now, Situ Meng also lay down where Hei Niu was lying.

"Xiaoshen should have been lying down just now... Could it be that my rolling posture is wrong?" Situ Meng rolled on the bed, without any movement, he increased the rolling speed, "Huh? Wow! Wait! Wait a minute! Wait ... I -go -you -big -grand — ah ah ah ah- "

Situ Meng slid down the secret passage, and at the end of the slide, he saw a black girl waiting here.

Depth of Field heard a howl like ghosts and wolves, and then Situ Meng landed on the ground in the same posture from where he fell just now.

Situ Meng patted the dust off his body, and seeing the black girl obediently standing in front of him waiting for him, he asked, "Why are you still here?"

"Shouldn't I be here?" Depth of Field was confused by his question.

"Generally speaking, when you come to a strange place, shouldn't you walk around and explore?"

Jing Shen rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Did you break your brain? Who knows how big this place is? What if there is a trap? What if there is a maze, and I get lost and can't find it?" In case you find it, Didn't see me?The last sentence Depth of Field did not say.

Ever since, the two started their journey of exploration in this dark cave.

There was no light in the cave, and Situ Meng finally understood why the black girl loved to wear white clothes so much when she was so dark. In such a place with such low light, if it wasn't for the black girl's white clothes, Situ Meng would be very embarrassed. It's hard to spot him.

Fortunately, Situ Meng had the habit of carrying fire folders with him. He took out the fire folders and found that there were oil lamps on the wall next to him.After lighting up the oil lamps one by one, they could finally see the layout of the cave clearly.

Jing Shen asked: "You sleep with a fire bag?" What is this for?Sleepwalking lighting up?

"How can you bring a fire bag when you sleep?" Situ Meng tapped Hei Niu'er on the head, "I picked this up when I was looking for you in the room just now!"

"Oh..." Jing Shen covered his brow that had been knocked on, and didn't continue the question.

Situ Meng was afraid that the black girl would get lost, so he held him with one hand, and lit the nearby oil lamps while walking with the other, "The front seems to be the same, go back?"

Depth of Field: "It's useless to go back, we can't climb that passage."

"Then let's shout from below and ask someone to save us up?"

"Did you hear me calling you just now?"

"……No."

"That's it, shout from there, no matter how loud you shout, you won't be able to hear it from above."

Situ Meng looked at the road ahead, then turned his head to look behind at the place where they slid down, and said distressedly: "This is a bit troublesome, I don't know if my little brother can find that we have fallen..."

Jing Shen is not worried about whether he can go back, since it is a secret room, there is a way to go up if he can get down, as long as he finds the exit... What he is worried about is whether the guards outside will be implicated if he disappears, although the two brothers The guards next to my sister and my sister are all independent, each in charge of their own affairs, and do not interfere with each other's guards.But under certain circumstances, his brother and sister can command his guards - for example, like now, he "disappeared".

Situ Meng and Jing Shen became more and more frightened as they walked. This underground cave was much bigger than they imagined, and it was criss-crossed with countless side roads. If you don't pay attention, you will get lost.

Depth of Field has been observing the surrounding scene, and suddenly said: "This place should be a military base, but it has been abandoned for a long time."

"Military base?" Situ Meng asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Depth of field: "Look at the wall over there, there should be kerosene pipelines in those holes... and the ground here, look at the outlines of these traces, do they look like some large-scale fire mechanism equipment? Also, there is a row of The bench, and the target, were supposed to be used for testing."

Situ Meng followed his words and looked around. Sure enough, as Hei Niuer said, this is not an ordinary cave, but a military base. "But why is there a military base under the manor?"

"It should be left over from the previous dynasty." Jing Shen said, "The former dynasty built the capital in Yangzhou at the beginning, and then moved to the current capital. After the move to the north, many military facilities remained in Jiangnan, even the current Jiangnan The military barracks were also transformed from the former Forbidden Army barracks."

Situ Meng didn't know much about the affairs of the previous court, and he didn't know what the military deployment was. He looked at Hei Niu'er suspiciously. He thought that Hei Niu'er was just an ordinary brat, but after several visits, he felt that this brat It's not simple at all. Seeing him talking about the former court and military defenses in a clear and logical way, his expression makes people feel "majestic" when he looks serious...

Depth of Field pushed open a rusted iron door, making a toothache-scratching sound. Situ Meng accidentally got hit, feeling like his ears were going to be deaf and his teeth were going to be sore.Sure enough, the majesty and so on are just his illusion, and the brat is the essence of the black girl!
