The dark, remote corner was damp and cold. She huddled up in a ball, holding a short knife in her hand.
Many parts of her body were dark green. She chewed herbs and applied them to the wounds before going to bed.
The green covered up the black, red and purple, but there was no way to deal with the mud stains on my body.
The ground suddenly trembled, and her eyes opened immediately, looking warily into the darkness.
There was no sound, and there didn't seem to be anyone around.
There was a movement far away, and the entire foothills were trembling slightly.
Xia Zhaoyi pursed her lips, breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and continued to dream.
After a heavy rain all night, it finally calmed down.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the water from the mountains rushed down. The water in the river rolled quickly, causing large splashes of water.
Qian Qianqian held a tree stick and looked at the cave in front of him that had collapsed intermittently all night long.
The strange fragrance had dissipated a lot, but a corner of the cave was revealed, which surprised Qian Qianqian.
Countless gold bars were scattered on the ground, and porcelain was broken into pieces and mixed in the mud.
There are also pieces of pearls and gems, as well as a large number of silks and brocades. Even if it rains, these gems are still dazzling.
The depths of the cave were dark, and there seemed to be a faint wind blowing from there.
There should be... a way.
Qian Qianqian hesitated whether to go there.
At this time, there was some movement in the cave.
She pricked up her ears and listened with bated breath.
The sound was getting closer and closer, like the footsteps of many people.
Qian Qianqian was stunned and hurriedly hid behind the rock on the other side.
"Master, you have been hungry for two days and didn't sleep well last night. Let's go back first."
Erguang was still trying to persuade him.
Bian Yuanfeng ignored it and strode away, following the glimmer of light at the end.
His mental outlook was extremely poor and he felt dizzy. His expression and mood had never been so bad.
"It should be over there, that's where the noise came from," another boy said.
The light is getting brighter and brighter, and some fragrance can be faintly smelled in the air.
Erguang took a sniff and said, "It smells so good. What does it smell like?"
"Spice." Bian Yuanfeng said.
He had had this spice before. It was said that he had taken it from a wealthy family. He thought it smelled quite good. At that time, he even sent some to the Su Ju people, but the Su Ju people threw them away in front of their faces.
"Don't bring anything bloody to me."
Su Juren said this with a cold and disdainful expression.
"Is there any spice here?" Erguang asked again.
"Shut up." Bian Yuanfeng said coldly.
The cave wall gradually became wider, and it also changed from an uneven mountain wall to a smooth and flat stone wall.
There are many candlesticks on the wall, and there are still a few candles. Unfortunately, the candle cores have become damp and cannot be lit.
As they walked, Bian Yuanfeng stopped.
The boys following him also stopped.
The broken hole is in the northwest direction, and at the bend due north, there is a huge stone chamber inside.
Now they were standing at the door of the stone chamber, dumbfounded.
The mountains are filled with gold and silver, pearls and jade are everywhere, and there are hundreds of large wooden boxes, all of which are open to reveal treasures.
There are hundreds of different scents of spices in the air, and smelling too much can make you dizzy.
A few boys were the first to react, their expressions turned from stunning and longing to pale, and they looked towards Bian Yuanfeng.
This place is too hidden. We built it here just because we don’t want others to know about it.
And if someone accidentally finds out, what will happen?
Several of the boys were frightened, and Er Guang also showed fear.
"Have you ever spent money?" Bian Yuanfeng said.
The boys were stunned.
"Master, what did you say?" Er Guang asked.
"The Golden House," Bian Yuanfeng said coldly, "is probably what it looks like."
Everyone was confused.
"Master, what is the Golden House?"
"I have so much hidden and I can't spend it. I don't know what the use is." Bian Yuanfeng said, "But how much can I buy if I use these to buy things?"
"How many cities?" a young boy said bravely.
"Don't bring anything bloody to me."
Bian Yuanfeng seemed to remember Su Juren's words again.
According to this statement, these golden houses were obtained with the blood of several cities.
Just die, but the number of deaths is indeed higher.
"Maybe there is Su Juren's family here?" Bian Yuanfeng said suddenly.
"What?"
None of the boys could keep up with his train of thought.
"Among the people who died in several cities, there may be his family members. Otherwise, why would he hate me so much?" Bian Yuanfeng said.
I don't know why he would want to go here, and several of the boys are a little puzzled.
Let alone a self-proclaimed scholar like Su Juren, even ordinary people, who would like a horse thief?
Bian Yuanfeng turned his head, looked at the entrance of the cave over there, and said: "We should have crossed the distance of the bridge long ago, right?"
"Huh?" Er Guang said.
"Then when you get out of here, it should be the back mountain," Bian Yuanfeng sneered, "I asked why that Ah Li can disappear here. Maybe she discovered the secret passage here early. Let's go and take a look in front."
Bian Yuanfeng said, already taking steps.
"Back mountain?" A boy was delighted.
If it’s the back mountain, there’s food!
Not only is there food to eat, but there are also a group of servant girls and slave boys at your disposal!
These two days have not been easy for them at all, and they are all responsible for the anger of the ladies and aunts.
When I thought about being served and taken care of in the back mountain, and that the servant women and child slaves would be cautious and trembling, all my senses suddenly felt refreshed, and I didn't even feel sleepy anymore.
They hurriedly followed Bian Yuanfeng.
Hearing the approaching footsteps and movement, Qian Qianqian's face turned even paler.
She tried hard to get closer to the cliff, but there was only such a narrow spot.
Although there is a rock here that can temporarily block the area, there are almost no roads in this area, so there is no guarantee that they will not search here when they are looking for an exit.
Bian Yuanfeng suddenly stopped.
Several boys also stopped.
"Master?" Erguang asked.
Bian Yuanfeng thought for a while and became a little irritated: "I'm very sleepy, so I'm going to go back to bed first. Let's go to Sanguang and Siguang. You ask the servants to bring them from here."
The two boys who were named were stunned: "Us?"
"Can't you do it? How many people do you need to do such a thing?" Bian Yuanfeng scolded angrily.
He turned around and walked back: "It's best to send it within an hour. My mother and sister didn't eat anything yesterday."
"Go, go quickly." Erguang hurriedly whispered to them.
Glad that he was not called upon, he and a few boys followed Bian Yuanfeng happily.
The remaining two boys look at me and I look at you.
Sanguang sighed: "What a bad luck, let's go."
Qian Qianqian's state of mind was like the rolling water in a stream, rising and falling at times.
She held onto the rock and clung to it.
At this moment, she caught something in the corner of her eye and turned around.
Xia Zhaoyi squatted on a high slope in the distance and had been turning the branches behind him to signal to her for a long time.
Seeing her looking at him, Xia Zhaoyi put his finger in front of his lips and silently "shushed".
Qian Qianqian was immediately happy and his eyes lit up.
