The fifty-sixth chapter of the dry well secret road
Under the dry well, the surroundings are as dark as substance, and the smell of decay floats in the air. I don't know how deep it is down there. As I climb down, I feel like I am gradually approaching the oppressive feeling of hell.
Zhao Zheng didn't know if he was particularly destined to darkness, so he always dealt with dark environments. Today, he was once again forced to work in such a dark environment.
In order to explore the bottom of the dry well, he tied the rope firmly to the windlass, and then climbed down along the rope. Logically speaking, Li Zhenzhen's Qinggong was better and more suitable for this task, but the bottom of the dry well was dark and dirty. How could he have the nerve to let Li Zhenzhen come down to explore the way?
He held a candle in his mouth, and the big flame jumped, driving away the darkness. Occasionally, candle tears fell down and stuck to his clothes. His hands were holding the rope with rough texture. Tough, the palms of my hands may have been worn out long ago.
Li Zhenzhen lay on the wellhead, helping to observe the surrounding situation, and occasionally talking to Zhao Zheng through the wellhead.
Zhao Zheng had something in his mouth and had no way to answer, so he could only crawl down. He didn't know how deep he climbed, but he finally reached the deepest point and stepped on the ground he had not seen for a long time. He stepped on the soft soil and looked up. After taking a glance, Li Zhenzhen's face shrank to a point, and the wellhead shining in the light looked like a full moon. Judging by visual inspection, this dry well was at least thirty meters deep.
"I climbed down, don't worry about me!" Zhao Zheng spit out the candle in his hand and shouted upward, his voice echoing in the dry well.
"The devil is worried about you! Come and see if there is a secret passage. If there is, I will follow you down!" Li Zhenzhen responded at the mouth of the well.
Zhao Zheng smiled and withdrew his gaze. He shook the candle in his hand and glanced around. The firelight illuminated the uneven surface at the bottom of the well. The walls looked like they were spliced together one by one. The ferocious face was quite scary. He walked to the wall and started groping for any clues.
In the game, there is a secret passage under the dry well in the south of Qibao County. The secret passage leads to multiple places and is quite complicated.
Everyone is curious, and Zhao Zheng is no exception. When he was reading information about Qibao County, he read a few special parts for a while, so his memory was deeper. Regarding this secret passage and related things, he I remember it was 60 to 70 percent.
Zhao Zheng groped at the bottom of the ancient well for a long time, and finally found a place with particularly soft soil, which looked like it was temporarily buried. His eyes lit up, he put the candle aside, and then took out the shovel on his back. , he started digging there, one shovel after another. His shovel was newly bought when he arrived. The steel mouth was very good, and the soil here was very soft, so it was not difficult to dig. It didn’t take long to dig out a big pit.
"bump!"
Zhao Zheng dropped his spade and dug the area deep into a hollow. He was overjoyed when he saw this, and dug even more vigorously, digging up the rest of the soil.
A deep and dark hole appeared in front of Zhao Zheng, and air with a rich earthy smell emerged from it, like the throat of a giant beast.
Zhao Zheng picked up the candle again and shined it into the secret passage. The fire light dispersed the darkness, but it could not shine to the end. His eyes were burning and he said to himself: "There is indeed a secret passage."
Not long after, Li Zhenzhen also came down. Although the place was dirty, it could not stop her desire to discover.
"Wow, it's interesting. Where does this lead to? Who dug it? What's in it?" Li Zhenzhen looked at the deep secret passage and asked excitedly.
"This story is quite long." Zhao Zheng replied standing behind.
"I like to listen to stories, and I don't care how long they are." Li Zhenzhen turned around and said with a smile.
Zhao Zheng nodded, opened up the conversation, and told the origin of this secret passage. This dark and mysterious environment, coupled with the dancing candlelight, made his words full of magnetism, adding a mysterious color to the story he told.
.
"There is a wealthy Zhang Yuanwai in Qibao County. He is very lecherous and likes to flirt with women. But he also has a very powerful wife at home, who controls the family's accounts and controls him in everything and prevents him from messing around outside. Husband and wife
The two often had conflicts over this, which made the family uneasy and the dogs and cats uneasy. Zhang Yuanwai had no real power in his hands and was no match for his wife, so he was very depressed. He spent all day thinking about ways to get the best of both worlds. He didn't want to fall out with his wife, but also wanted to be with her.
He was messing around outside. Finally one day, he had a sudden idea and really thought of a good way, so this secret tunnel came into being."
"What does the secret passage have to do with his method?" Li Zhenzhen asked.
"Zhang Yuanwai's method was to dig a secret tunnel, starting from under his bed, and then leading directly to the brothel. This was a somewhat fanciful method, but it is easy to do things if you have money. He hired a group of workers to work underground day and night.
, dug out this secret passage, and it turned the fantasy into reality." Zhao Zheng pointed at the dark secret passage and told the origin of the secret passage, which he knew from the game information.
"So this secret passage is for this kind of thing? It's really bad." Li Zhenzhen frowned.
"The story is not over yet." Zhao Zheng shook his finger and continued, "After Zhang Yuanwai dug out this secret tunnel, he was no longer afraid of the tigress at home, and went to the brothel through the secret tunnel every night to have fun.
The brothel made a lot of money from Zhang Yuanwai, and thought it was a good way to make money, so he taught this method to two other wealthy people who were in a similar situation to Zhang Yuanwai, and these people also
They secretly dug tunnels underground and led to the brothel from different directions. Over time, these tunnels were connected together and became a whole."
Zhao Zheng opened his hand and gestured. Following his movements, Li Zhenzhen imagined a complex world buried deep underground in her mind.
"How big has this secret passage become now?" Li Zhenzhen took a breath of air and asked.
"I'm not sure about this yet, but I can already guess which brothel they lead to."
Li Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and speculated: "With so many rich people supporting us, this brothel must have made a lot of money. It should have developed into the largest brothel in the area now. The largest brothel in Qibao County is Baihua Pavilion. This dense
That's where the road should lead."
"You're right, I thought so too. The secret passage here should lead to Baihua Pavilion." Zhao Zheng snapped his fingers, "How are you, are you satisfied with this place? Do you think this is the right place?"
Is it worth waiting for three days? Such shady secret passages are not found everywhere."
"It's interesting, but it's a bit disgusting to think that it was a secret tunnel dug by a group of men to go to a brothel." Li Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue, suddenly remembered something, and asked instead, "By the way,
You are not a wealthy member of the Communist Party of China. How did you know about this secret passage? Did the Liuying from Baihua Pavilion tell you?"
"Liu Ying didn't tell me. How dare Liu Ying talk about such confidential things? In fact, I heard these things myself. Before I entered the Hongchen Inn, I was a beggar. I made a living by begging every day. One day
, I overheard the information about this secret passage from other people's mouths, so I know these things." Zhao Zheng found a smooth excuse for himself.
"I remember you said before that you could make money from this place. What does that mean?"
"This secret passage can help those few members solve a big problem. Of course, they have to keep it strictly confidential. Only the three members and a few people in the brothel know about this secret passage. Even the members' family members know about it.
I don’t know at all. We can use this to extort a lot of money from those three people." Zhao Zheng said more and more enthusiastically. There is also this extortion task in the game, which is specially used to make money.
"You just said that Zhang Yuanwai asked workers to dig the tunnel. Didn't those workers also know this secret? Why didn't they go to the three Yuanwai to extort money?" Li Zhenzhen asked puzzledly.
"They know it's true, but they won't tell it." Zhao Zheng's face froze and he shook his head.
"Why?"
"Because a dead man doesn't extort money from anyone."
