"Disguise?" Yuanyuan was very surprised. It wasn't that she didn't know what disguise meant, but she didn't expect her father to have such a unique skill.
Jimoshu said: "You'er, the road back to Beijing is bound to be full of dangers. You can hide from the enemy's eyes and ears by disguising yourself. I will disguise Commander Gu and you as father and daughter in a while. When walking on the road, you must pay attention to the proper address.
Don't let it slip."
"I understand, father." Yuanyuan nodded heavily in agreement.
Gu Zhengbang, who was in the room, saw that their father and daughter had almost finished talking, so he reminded: "Brother Shu, it will take some time to disguise yourself, let's start now."
Jimoshu turned around and said, "Okay, let's start now!"
Then, Jimoshu went to get a small exquisite box.
"Brother Zhengbang, please sit down!" As he spoke, Jimoshu had already walked over carrying a box.
Gu Zhengbang walked to the table and sat down. Jimoshu also placed the box on the table and opened it carefully.
Yuan Yuan was curious, so he walked over and took a look. It turned out that the box contained all the tools and materials needed for disguise. It could be said that it was all available!
Afterwards, Jimoshu stopped talking and began to concentrate on disguising Gu Zhengbang.
Yuan Yuan was very quiet on the side. She was observing her father's movements and techniques all the time, wanting to see how he turned Master Gu into another face.
With a stick of incense, Jimoshu put down the tool in his hand, straightened up, took a long breath, and said: "Brother Zhengbang, you can take a look in the mirror."
Yuan Yuan immediately handed over a mirror, and Gu Zhengbang took the photo and couldn't help but grinned: "Brother Shu, why do I feel like I suddenly look ten years younger? Haha..."
Jimoshu took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him and said with a faint smile: "Thank you, Brother Zhengbang, do you seem satisfied?"
"I'm naturally satisfied with Brother Shu's technique!" Gu Zhengbang complimented.
After saying that, Gu Zhengbang put down the mirror, stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Shu, now it's time to help my daughter disguise herself, haha..."
Jimoshu also smiled, nodded to Yuan and said, "You'er, sit down."
After sitting down, Yuan Yuan consciously took off his gauze, straightened his back, and his expression looked particularly serious and severe.
When Jimoshu saw this, he said in a gentle voice: "You'er, relax a little, don't be nervous..."
After being reminded, Yuanyuan gradually relaxed himself, and Jimoshu entered the serious mode again and started "transforming" Yuanyuan's face!
This time, it only took more than a quarter of an hour before Yuan Yuan's face was "transformed".
Before Yuanyuan looked in the mirror, Gu Zhengbang, who was standing aside, nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, she really looks like my daughter..."
When Yuan Yuan picked up the mirror and looked at it, his first impression was that he didn't recognize the person in the mirror. But after looking carefully for a while, he found several familiar and similar places.
Then, Yuan Yuan raised his head to look at the new faces of the two of them, Gu Zhengbang, and found that his new appearance was indeed very similar to his. After going out, ordinary people would definitely not doubt that they were father and daughter.
Jimoshu put the tools back and said: "You'er, although the art of disguise can change a person's appearance, the color of your eyes is still something my father can't do anything about, so you have to be more careful along the way and don't let anyone let you know.
It’s better if you notice it.”
"I understand, father." Yuan said, picking up the gauze and putting it on again.
After packing up, Jimoshu closed the box and solemnly warned Gu Zhengbang and Yuanyuan: "Remember, don't wash your face on the road, otherwise the good parts will be damaged, do you understand?"
Gu Zhengbang and Yuan Yuan immediately nodded in agreement.
Jimoshu walked to the window and looked at the night outside, then turned back and said, "It's almost time, you two, let's set off now!"
With that said, Jimoshu went to the bed, lifted off the bedding, and then dismantled the bed board, opening the entrance to the secret passage.
"Master Gu, let me go in front!" Yuan asked proactively.
Gu Zhengbang nodded and said: "Daughter, from now on, you have to call me daddy!"
Yuan couldn't help but pause, and when he saw Jimoshu nodding towards him, he changed his voice and shouted: "Dad..."
"Hey!" Gu Zhengbang responded happily.
Then, Jimoshu took out two silver notes from his body and handed them to Yuan Yuan, and said softly: "You'er, keep these coins and don't treat yourself badly for food and accommodation."
Yuan Yuan put away the banknotes and said: "Father, I'm waiting for you in Beijing!"
"Okay!" Jimoshu responded solemnly.
After saying this, Yuan jumped decisively into the entrance of the secret passage.
Gu Zhengbang walked to the secret passage and said to Jimo Shu: "Brother Shu, Mo Di and Miao Li are all in your hands!"
"Don't worry, Brother Zhengbang, after tonight, I will bring them both back to the capital safely and soundly!" Jimoshu firmly agreed.
Gu Zhengbang nodded with peace of mind and said, "You have to be more careful yourself, I don't want to lose you as my chess friend!"
"Yes!" Jimoshu nodded in agreement, and then said: "Be careful on the road, see you in the capital!"
Then, Gu Zhengbang entered the entrance of the secret passage. At this time, the kite had already lit up the fire, illuminating the area around him.
Jimoshu leaned forward and rushed into the secret passage: "Don't worry, go forward, there are no forks in the road, and you will be at the exit soon!"
Soon, the two people's responses came from the secret passage, and then the light that could be seen under the entrance began to move deeper and quickly disappeared.
Jimoshu squatted at the entrance and waited for a while before standing up, and then arranged the bed planks and bedding neatly one by one as they were before. From the outside, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
--------------------------------
In the secret passage.
Yuan Yuan walked in front holding a fire folding piece, and Gu Zhengbang followed closely behind him from a distance away.
From time to time, there are sounds of insects and mice in the darkness, and the atmosphere is a bit weird and scary...
Suddenly, Gu Zhengbang stumbled. Yuan Yuan heard this and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, so that Gu Zhengbang did not fall.
"Thank you, Miss You." Gu Zhengbang thanked her.
But Yuan Yuan said with a smile: "Dad, you called me wrong."
Gu Zhengbang also smiled after standing up straight, and said: "Yes, yes, it's my daughter. Dad was confused for a moment, haha..."
After a small interlude, the two of them continued towards the exit of the secret passage.
Gu Zhengbang observed the situation inside the secret passage while walking in the dim light of the fire seal. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This secret passage was very old. He didn't know who dug it in the first place, but it was still in use today.
After an unknown amount of time, the advancing kite suddenly stopped and shouted: "We're here!"
Gu Zhengbang leaned forward and looked forward. Sure enough, there was no way forward in the secret passage, and there was an old wooden board at the top of the end.
Yuan Yuan turned around and handed the fire seal to Gu Zhengbang, then stepped forward and raised his hands to push the board hard, but the board was a bit heavy, and Yuan Yuan tried twice and failed to push it away.
Seeing this, Gu Zhengbang hurriedly stepped forward to help. After a lot of effort, the two of them finally pushed open the wooden board at the exit and breathed in a burst of fresh air.
The two people climbed out of the secret passage and saw that they were in a woodshed. There was something pressing on the wooden board at the exit, which was why it was so difficult to push.
