Chapter 709

Bai Jiao walked in front, chattering about authentic things, but Erfu has been entangled in the problem of moving the pedal back to the entrance of the cave, seeing that she couldn't say the key for so long, she was a little anxious, and chased after Bai Jiao in a few steps, laughing and mocking: "You are going around like this, it shouldn't be that you didn't think of how to move the pedal back to its original position!"

"I won't have prepared in advance, cut!" Bai Jiao and Erfu were together, always throwing at the calmness and shrewdness that a businessman should have, knowing that Erfu was deliberately provoking her, she still couldn't help but skip the long boasting part of the speech, and directly talked about the problem of the hole and the pedal," You big families, pay attention to a style, so the foot pedal at the entrance of the hole must exist, if not, it will definitely be found at a glance, but the location of the hole, and must be very hidden, so the foot is the best position, considering this, I fell into a tangle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, though, I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

Have you just carefully observed the floor tiles in the warm pavilion, the secret is in the floor tiles? Speaking of this, Bai Jiao pretended to stop talking, stopped, turned to look at Erfu, and waited for Erfu's answer.

Erf said she hated this kind of problem the most.

She can say that in modern times, there is a new game called escape room, as a college party otaku, her biggest hobby is to eat and play, this kind of game is said to be very interesting, how could she miss it, so after she found the first place to operate this kind of escape room game, she directly beckoned a few friends in the same dormitory to go together.

As it turned out, she wasn't suited to this kind of game.

After going back and forth a dozen times, she never managed to escape.

At this moment, Bai Jiao actually told her that there was a secret to the floor tiles in the warm pavilion above, could she say that she actually felt a sense of humiliation from Bai Jiao's suppressed IQ!

"I know you can't guess the secret, and just as most people have a fixed mindset that has been formed for a long time, so do you. Fortunately, Bai Jiao didn't expect her to find out, if she could say it casually, Bai Jiao would give up the existence of this tunnel, watching Erfu was dumbfounded by a question, she smiled and spread her hands, and began to explain, "According to the provisions of the Great Qing Law, there are certain rules for what kind of house people live in, so the size of the room is fixed, and with the size of the room, this carpenter builds furniture, The floor tiles fired by the brick kiln also have a fixed specification, so ordinary people will not notice this.

In this case, I found another way and ordered someone to fire a large number of floor tiles of different sizes from ordinary floor tiles, but with the same pattern, and these floor tiles were used to pave every room on your Zhuangzi.

Floor tiles have a conventional size, and so do foot pedals.

According to the general specifications of the Zhuangzi Courtyard built by each prefecture, the length of the supporting floor tiles and pedals, the length of the pedal is just twice that of a floor tile, and the width of the pedal is about one and a half of the floor tiles, but this batch of special floor tiles is so poor in size, but just so that the length of the pedal is slightly longer than the floor tiles, and there is only a slight nuance, if it is not a special view, no one will find it.

Of course, this can not be done 100% not to be discovered, after the actual brick laying site observation, I still abandoned this batch of specially fired floor tiles, ordered someone to re-fire a split floor tiles, this kind of floor tile pattern and ordinary floor tiles are exactly the same, but the middle of the pattern and the position of the side teeth, is separated, after the skillful mason bricks, just to make up for this loophole.

Now the floor tiles in the warm pavilion, you look as if they have sunken in the position of the foot, but in fact, they are different, so you can put the footrest on both sides of the hole after going down a few steps, so that you can close the sunken hole here, even if you are in the tunnel at the time, the people outside must not find it. ”

After speaking, Bai Jiao smiled and pressed the button that protruded half an inch above the wall.

There was another creaking sound, and the glimmer of light leaking through the hole was completely gone.

Erfu watched Bai Jiao finish this series of actions, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and asked softly: "Have you been in too much contact with those old Fujin recently, haven't you noticed that you are talking more and more now, just such a little thing, you did it on it just now, don't I know, and as for you to explain it to me like this!"

"You ......" Okay, Bai Jiao did this on purpose, wanting to show off.

However, when Erff retorted like this, she was not interested in continuing to show off, so she turned her head again and walked deeper into the tunnel.

Erf followed, pursed her lips and smiled, and followed directly.

The two of them were about in the tunnel, and after walking for a cup of tea, a small wooden door appeared in front of them.

"This is ......" The faint sunlight leaking through the cracks in the wooden door let Erfu know that she had returned to the ground, but in her warm pavilion, she was obviously as high as a floor, and there were no steps up the way, how did she get to the ground, which made Erfu question regardless of Bai Jiao's cold eyes.

Bai Jiao really had enough of staying in this sullen tunnel, so even if Erfu asked, she just smiled, and directly pushed open the small wooden door and came to the small courtyard outside.

"Where is this?" asked Eloph softly, looking at the completely unfamiliar surroundings in front of her.

People yearn for the sun, especially after experiencing the darkness of the tunnel, Bai Jiao unconsciously looked at the sky, turned her back to Erfu and smiled, and began the words she held back until now.

"This is not too far from Zhuangzi near the small courtyard where the mountain forest keepers live, now is the end of summer and early autumn, the time of the most rain, so those forest guards who prevent mountain fires do not live here, even if you make a big noise here, you will never be discovered, the only thing to pay attention to is some small animals that may exist in the mountains, after all, even if this is not a deep mountain old forest, but in the end there are still some living creatures. ”

When Erfu heard Bai Jiao say this, she understood, no wonder she returned to the ground without going up the steps, daring to love this is at the foot of the mountain, of course, it will be higher than the ground, she really admires Bai Jiao's arrangement, but she has not forgotten the part where Bai Jiao boasted of thunder in the tunnel before.

With such a long tunnel, how could it be dug by one person, Erfu, who had been suppressed by Bai Jiao's IQ, was naturally busy and began to fight back, "You are so powerful, don't say that you dug the tunnel alone!"

"Of course I can't have dug it up myself. Bai Jiao looked like a fool, looked at Erfu with a smug smile on her face, and retorted softly.

Erfu was dazzled by Bai Jiao's dazzling disdain, and jumped to her feet angrily: "Didn't you say that the authenticity should be kept secret, you made all this yourself!"

Bai Jiao smiled and raised her hand, suppressed Erfu's unfinished words, and continued: "Your owner is too angry, I said that the tunnel should be kept secret, but I never said it, the tunnel was dug by myself, I don't have that much ability, but I can hide the tunnel."

When the yard was renovated, I noticed that there was a problem.

You shouldn't have been to the backyard, the southwest corner of the backyard was originally a stable, everything else is no problem, but the manger there is very problematic, at most once, I arranged more than a dozen Liba to lift a piece can not be lifted.

No way, the stable remained.

Later, I consulted a few very prestigious old craftsmen in Beijing, and invited someone to see it for myself, and finally figured it all out, this was the Zhuangzi of a big official in the previous dynasty, and later changed the dynasty, and this became the industry of your Guarjia clan, and fell into your hands, but the original equipment here is complete, so it should also exist authentically, and the manger that many people can't lift is the entrance.

The old craftsman used his crutch to point it in one place, and the manger was easily pushed away. Speaking of this, Bai Jiao returned to the side of the exit and pointed to the small wooden door that was covered with dust, "I opened the entrance and let out the smell of corruption inside, so I entered the tunnel at night, and I came here.

The original owner of the Zhuangzi, that is, the former dynasty official lived here before Li Zicheng entered the capital, there were dozens of people in the family, eating, drinking, wearing, self-sufficient, and never left, but when the Qing soldiers completely hit the capital, those Eight Banners began to enclose the land, this place was empty, but no one saw them leave, after all, so many people, and it is a big family, once they leave, it is impossible not to have the slightest movement, but no one found them to leave, after that, many people said that they were eaten by the evil ghosts from the mountains, and they would not see anyone aliveThere are no dead bodies, so I guess they should have left the tunnel.

The reason why this Zhuangzi is slowly dilapidated is also because it is rumored to be haunted.

Until it fell into your hands, this big yard was not good, and I just used it well, but when I found the tunnel, many craftsmen who participated in the reconstruction knew it, in order to keep it secret, after I walked through this secret passage, I asked people to fill in the tunnel, and the broken bricks and tiles that were demolished from the old house were piled up at the entrance under the manger, and people were filled with mud, which was called a tight fill.

It wasn't easy for me to reopen the tunnel.

Not only racked my brains for several days, but came up with an excuse, spent a lot of silver, asked someone to invite those craftsmen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come over, and secretly dug a basement in the back of the building, as for the rest of the work, it was really completely I did it myself, first dug a half-person high tunnel, received the location of the basement, and then dug a little bit from the basement to the abandoned old tunnel, during that time, I now think about it and feel that I was living in hell, every day with a mouse bending down to dig in the ground, but the hard work paid off, a year's time, I finally expanded the tunnel a little bit to the same scale as the original old tunnelAs for the wasteland, it is piled up on this mountain. ”

Listening to Bai Jiao tell the process of digging the tunnel in a few minutes, but the hardships were far beyond her imagination, she thought that Bai Jiao Dingtian had invited craftsmen from other places to come over, but she didn't expect that she dug it out by herself.

"You've worked so hard!" No matter how many words she had, Erfu felt that she couldn't express her inner gratitude, so she just came to Bai Jiao's side, raised her hand on Bai Jiao's shoulder, patted her gently, and whispered.

"Oops......" Bai Jiao, who is used to being a strong woman, felt the sourness in her eyes for the first time, she avoids Erf's movements uncomfortably, and shakes her shoulders exaggeratedly, as if she wants to shake off the goosebumps brought by Erf, and after a while, she continued, " In this way, didn't you hand over your huge property to me to take care of, and gave me so many dividends, so that I could be an abandoned woman who was swept away by her husband's family, a poor woman who was regarded as a shame by her mother's family, and became a big shopkeeper with a head and a face in this capital, you trust me so much, I naturally have to be worthy of your trust, what can I count as hard work!

I haven't finished talking about the origin of the tunnel just now, so you're not afraid of those craftsmen from the Internal Affairs Bureau, and they're still thinking about your basement!"

Seeing Bai Jiao's awkward efforts to change the topic, Erfu nodded exaggeratedly, acting like a miser, and hurriedly asked: "Yes, those craftsmen, although they are all registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take risks for money!"

"I know that you have to ask, how can the existence of such a thing as a basement exist in Zhuangzi, this is obviously illogical, but it is unreasonable to put it on others, but it is reasonable to put it on this Zhuangzi, here is the largest workshop of those flower juices and perfumes in our shop, but at the end of the previous year, you moved the flower house to the south where it is more suitable for raising flowers, and it is no longer a place to make flower juice. The perfume workshop, so the basement is useless, I asked someone to fill in the basement, and it is thanks to you that you let people study the grinding machine, so that the big bluestone can be polished into a barrier that fits the tunnel tightly, otherwise the basement filling work, I really don't dare to ask someone to do it, so I can only leave this basement here. In the end, Bai Jiao also talked about the idea of hiding the wooden door, she has recently been learning how to make mechanisms with the old craftsmen of the Xuancai Workshop, if everything goes well, it will probably be more than a month, and this small wooden door will be replaced by a large stone on the mountain to block the entrance.

"Yueyu, but I'm leaving!" Erph asked, tilting her head in confusion.

As soon as Erfu's words came out, Bai Jiao was stunned, showing off too much, and said what was in her heart.

In fact, to put it bluntly, she didn't believe that Erfu was willing to leave the fourth master.
