Chapter 326: Danger in the Cellar
Chapter 326: Danger in the Cellar
Zimo carried Chu Chu and walked into the passage. Although it was broad daylight, it was still very dark inside. Just when Chu Chu was considering whether to take out candles or something from the space, Zimo took out a few torches made of weeds. , ignited one of them with a flint.
Fortunately, Zimo had the foresight to set up a few torches with weeds outside, and now they are using them.
Sure enough, when I saw the stone wall, the passage became smaller. The sound just now should be that the pangolin broke the last barrier. The entrance of the cave was just big enough to accommodate Zimo.
Zimo handed the burning torch to Chu Chu: "Miss, hold it firmly. Be careful not to move. I'll go in first to find out."
He also deliberately asked the young lady to face the entrance of the cave to prevent the torch from being too bright.
He listened for a moment, but there was no movement at all outside, and then he squeezed in. It was dark inside and he couldn't see anything.
Chu Chu felt that Uncle Zimo must have fiery eyes. Otherwise, how could he see what was going on inside without holding a torch?
Just when Chu Chu's feet were numb from squatting and she was a little impatient, she heard Zimo's voice outside.
"Miss, miss, come out!"
Chu Chu quickly followed the sound and crawled out. Zimo pulled her in, picked her up and stood up, then took the torch from her hand.
He whispered into the young lady's ear: "There are five rooms in the cellar. They are all very large and full of good things. But I saw that there is no one there now. Young lady, please hurry up."
Chu Chu quickly covered her nose with her hat and ears, fearing that she would be fascinated.
"Miss, no need, the space is too big and the scent is useless."
Then he explained: "But if you don't light the incense, it will be dangerous if someone comes. You can only hold me under me, and don't make any noise."
Uneasy after all, Zimo stood up with a torch in one hand and Chu Chu in the other, wanting to quickly cross the rooms so that the lady could quickly scan the goods.
Chu Chu was very fast when collecting stones. As long as Zimo's feet were fast, it would only take a while to collect the five rooms, so he held Chu Chu and tiptoed to the one farthest from the cave entrance, hoping to get there. Take the time to blow it over, and then go out nearby.
Unexpectedly, just after passing through the two cellars, I suddenly saw a light flickering in the front cellar, which was near the entrance to the stairs above.
"No, there is someone."
Zimo quickly put the torch in his hand on the ground and stamped it out with his feet. Then he found a cabinet at the back and the two of them hid behind it.
While he listened to the movement in front of him, he also thought about countermeasures and said to himself: You must not let anyone go to the last room where the hole was dug, otherwise the secret will be exposed.
The purpose of talking to myself is to let the lady know, and I always feel that the lady may be able to help.
The voice from above slowly came down: "You have to take it easy during this period, and be careful and don't make any mistakes, otherwise the master will kill you."
It was a very high-pitched clip sound, which sounded a bit familiar.
At first only sounds were heard, but slowly footsteps came towards them.
Two people came down, one holding a lighted candlestick in his hand. He was a little far away from them at first, so he couldn't see clearly, but he only knew they were two men.
Unexpectedly, the voice was getting closer and closer, as if it had entered their room. Zimo couldn't help but hug the young lady tightly, and was thinking of countermeasures.
"Don't worry, Mr. An. All the treasures you saw in that room just now were exchanged for the weapons that were brought over a few days ago. The Tatars are satisfied, otherwise they wouldn't have beaten the Lin family army so embarrassed."
Zimo was a little surprised when he heard this. This news was too big. Linglong Pavilion's business was not an ordinary business, but collusion with foreign enemies, which was a capital crime for rebellion.
Fortunately, the sound has passed them to the front, but if they continue to go forward, they will pass through two more doors and reach the last room. From the back, two men can be seen, one tall and one short. The tall one is holding a candlestick, and the short one is holding a candlestick. It's the clip sound, and the waist is a bit hunched.
"In the back room, there are all the good things that the brothers in the mountains robbed, such as grain, grass, cloth and worthless things. The small ones were divided directly among them. All the good things came here as tribute. Eunuch An will have to pick up some for himself this time. Sample."
Zimo became anxious and said in a barely audible voice: "No, they are going to that room."
Chu Chu also knew that they would be in trouble if they went there. If they found something strange, even they would be blocked. It would be easy for her to just dodge into the space, but Uncle Zimo couldn't take it back!
Mainly, mainly because the task of collecting treasures in this line has not been completed yet!
She was about to ask Huahua to ask for help when she suddenly thought of Mimi, but she was unsure: "Uncle Zimo, how can we lure them out with Mimi?"
Sure enough, I knew that the lady had an idea: "Let Mimi hit the man holding the candlestick, and then let him bark a few times and lead him to the stairs just now."
That's all Zimo could think of. Whether it works or not depends on their luck. If it doesn't work, he can only take action to deal with these two people himself, but this will take a long time.
Judging from the figures of the two people, it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with two of them by himself, but it would be easy to cause a disturbance, and he might be forced to leave immediately if the treasure is confiscated.
Mimi was indeed very capable, and immediately rushed out as soon as she received the master's instructions.
But this time it didn't pounce on the person, but rushed between the person's legs and spun around. Suddenly it jumped up and turned around. It didn't even hit the person head-on. The candlestick in the hand of the tall and thin man was He was so scared that he fell to the ground.
"Ah! What the hell?"
The two of them only saw a small dark group swaying in front of their eyes for a few times. Just now, the shadow of the little thing under the candlestick seemed to be showing off its power, vaguely like some small god. Before they could recover, it ran back. .
Suddenly the cellar became dark and very strange.
"Isn't it a mouse? It's such a big one. Where's the fire stick? Hurry up and light it."
Jia Ziyin quickly kicked the tall and thin man who was stunned. The tall and thin man was stunned.
"Huo Zhezi~~ I didn't take the Huo Zhezi." The tall and thin man replied tremblingly.
"Then what are you waiting for? If you don't succeed enough but can ruin it, hurry up and lead Sajia up. As for you, shopkeeper Qian, you can handle this matter. How can you reassure the master?" Jia Ziyin was a little angry and kept pushing the thin monkey.
As Zimo expected, Jia Ziyin was a eunuch!
The two of them supported each other rustlingly, and kept cursing each other, probably to cover up the tension and fear in their hearts.
The two walked a few steps and seemed to stumble on something. They finally turned around and went back. After a while, they heard the sound of people climbing up the stairs.
