In Xiao Han's fiefdom, the hill that was once used to make glass has lost its smoke for a long time.
Most people who live in Xiaojiazhuangzi probably don't know why a good glass workshop should be moved from here.
There are just rumors that this hill is very unlucky, and there are even frequent drought thunders exploding nearby!
People in the Tang Dynasty at this time were very superstitious.
If this is a dangerous place, maybe some people want to find out.
But for a place where there are just a few blasts of drought thunder when there is nothing wrong, then they will not even take a second look there!
Because Lei is unreasonable.
If you are accidentally hacked to death, even if you are unjustly accused, it is estimated that even death will not be safe!
Think about other people. Whenever they mention this matter in the future, they will say "Things that attract lightning..."
When the time comes, I will probably die without being scolded, and even my family will not be able to hold their heads up.
As the chief steward of the Xiao Mansion, Steward Lu naturally knows this place, and he also knows why it is like this.
But I know that Housekeeper Lu has never been here since the renovation!
You should definitely take care of what you should take care of! It’s best not to even touch what you shouldn’t take care of!
This is also Butler Lu's request for himself. If it weren't for the seriousness of the matter this time, he couldn't let go and wanted to come over to check those things, but he still wouldn't come over.
Crossed the main road and came to the mountain pass.
Butler Lu discovered that, as rumored, there was no one around here.
And he also noticed: there were no people here, not even trees, and there were very few shrubs and weeds higher than the feet. Large expanses of soil and rocks were exposed, making people feel uncomfortable just by looking at them.
Continue walking along a path that goes deep into the valley.
Butler Lu still remembered that there should have been two simple wooden doors here.
I just don't know when, the wooden door has been replaced by a solid iron-clad door.
The door, which is two feet high and connects two rocks, is dark and horizontal in the middle of the road. It looks like one door can be closed, and no one can open it!
Seeing the gate, Xiao Da's footsteps were obviously much faster.
Butler Lu had to jog to catch up with his pace.
The two of them just kept walking forward in silence until they reached the gate, and then they stopped.
"Token!"
Just when Butler Lu took a breath and was about to ask a question, an unwavering voice suddenly sounded from behind the door.
At the same time, a small window was opened on the dark door, and Butler Lu looked carefully.
Only then did I realize that the door was not one piece. There were some large or small gaps on it, which looked like windows and doors. Because the color was too dark, you couldn't tell if you didn't get close.
Xiao Da had to be prepared for this sound. When the window opened, he had already passed a sign through the small window.
In this way, the two of them waited outside for a while, and then they saw a small door embedded in the main door, which was quietly opened from the inside.
"Mr. Lu, please..."
Seeing the door open, Xiao Da bowed slightly and extended his hand to ask Butler Lu to go in first.
Butler Lu glanced at the side door in front of him, which could only allow one person to pass through, and turned to Xiao Da strangely: "Don't you live in there? Why is it so troublesome every time?"
Xiao Da smiled shyly, scratched his head and said, "I live in it, but I have to do this every time I go in and out. This is also the rule here."
"Oh? The rules of our family are all here!"
After hearing Xiao Da's explanation, Butler Lu nodded in realization.
He has no aversion to rules.
On the contrary, for so many years, Butler Lu has been working hard to make Xiao Mansion a well-behaved Xiao Mansion.
However, every time this wish is about to be fulfilled, Xiao Han will come back from the outside at the right time.
Then... those so-called rules he tried so hard to establish would be turned into a joke by Xiao Han, the biggest rule breaker...
With a wry smile, Butler Lu decided to take a closer look at what was different about this place where there were even rules for entry and exit after he stepped into the door for the first time.
Stepping through the small door and seeing the scene behind the door for the first time, Butler Lu's first feeling was that he had stepped from a casual world to a world of chilling!
On an open space that is so flat that there is no cover, there are five dog-type crossbows on display, which are said to be the only big yellow crossbows in the world!
The sharp point made the hairs on Butler Lu's neck stand up!
After having a cold war, Butler Lu quickly followed Xiao Da.
After bypassing the big yellow crossbow and making sure that those weapons would not hurt him, he breathed a sigh of relief and his pounding heart slowed down.
"These ballistas are not cocked yet, so don't worry."
Xiao Da noticed Butler Lu's nervousness and comforted him softly while walking forward.
However, there is one sentence he has not yet said.
That is, when they approached the gate just now, there were at least ten big yellow crossbows aimed at them above their heads! And those were all real arrows on the strings that could be fired at any time!
There are a lot of things in the small valley, but there are basically no people.
Following Xiao Da all the way, Butler Lu didn't see any more living people until he came to the cave where the colored glaze was originally stored, and then he finally saw a familiar person.
"Lao Qiu? I haven't seen you for so many days, so you are here!"
Looking at the strong man standing at the entrance of the cave, Butler Lu almost screamed! He asked several people at first, and they all said that Lao Qiu was out on business, but he didn't expect that the so-called outing was right here!
Lao Qiu, dressed in military uniform, still looks the same.
Even when he saw Xiao Da and Butler Lu coming over, he just twitched the corners of his mouth and after saying hello, he returned to his usual indifference.
"Mr. Lu, are you going in?" Lao Qiu asked, staring at Butler Lu.
"Nonsense, if you don't want to go in and take a look, why am I here?" Butler Lu was quite familiar with Lao Qiu and knew that he had always been like this, so he didn't care. He smiled and cursed, then raised his legs to walk into the cave.
However, he has not yet stepped into the cave.
But Lao Qiu at the door reached out and stopped him first: "Mr. Lu, according to the order of the Marquis: you need to change your clothes, tie your hair up, and then go in barefoot."
"Change clothes? Go barefoot? Lao Qiu, are you kidding me?!"
Butler Lu was a little displeased at being blocked, but when he heard such a strange request, he immediately frowned and his expression became quite angry.
On the side, Xiao Da, who was taking off his shoes as a habit, saw this and quickly came over to pull Butler Lu and explained to him in a low voice:
"Mr. Lu, don't be angry. This is not to make things difficult for you. It is really the Marquis's rule! Not only you, but also me and even the Marquis must wear sackcloth and go in barefoot when they come here!"
I'm surprised! The words "fire" and "powder" are both blocked. How about I change it to "hot pot"? Will it not be blocked?
