Chapter 125: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
As soon as he heard Guo Jia's words, Guo Yuan also became rare and serious, nodded, and said affirmatively, "Remember!" ”
Guo Jia patted Guo Yuan's shoulder vigorously, "Yuanzi, you don't blame the eldest brother!" Are you really willing to do it? ”
Guo Yuan still showed his honest smile as always, "I believe in the eldest brother, although I am still a little reluctant, but didn't you say that the eldest brother will be better in the future!" ”
Guo Jia also laughed, "Good brother! Good ambition! ”
Just now, it was not so much that Guo Jia was comforting Guo Yuan, but that he was comforting himself. Today's Guo Yuan is only a vanguard general at most, and there are not many soldiers under him, so what can he be reluctant to. On the contrary, Guo Jia, at a young age, climbed to the position of commonplace, and he was really a little reluctant.
But Guo Jia knows very well that in this troubled world, officials often die quickly, and those with more money often die quickly, unless Guo Jia does not have any ambitions, then he can directly find a place to live in seclusion for a lifetime. However, finally came to this era, Guo Jia definitely didn't want to spend it like that, so it doesn't matter if the official is big or not, it doesn't matter if the money is or not, Guo Jia must find the biggest fist!
Once again, Guo Jia has strengthened his belief!
Back at Guo's mansion, all the people in the family had been sent away, and Guo Jia transferred all the soldiers at the gate to the palace to help carry things on the grounds that there was not enough manpower there.
As a result, the huge Guo Mansion was suddenly empty, and there were no outsiders.
Guo Jia did not hesitate, and said directly to Cai Wenji and the others, "Follow me!" ”
At the same time, he gestured to Guo Yuan, Guo Yuan handed the package to Guo Jia, and immediately lit the torch and began to burn the house.
Although I have already seen fires breaking out everywhere in the city, especially around the neighborhood, because the mansions of rich people and officials are almost all concentrated in one area, so those who are robbed and burned are usually like this. But Cai Wenji and the others never thought that Guo Jia would actually burn down his house by himself!
If you just move things away, why do you have to burn them? Is there anything unseemly? Or is it so reluctant to leave it to future generations?
Before Cai Wenji and the others could ask Guo Jia in a hurry, they suddenly encountered something that surprised them even more.
It turned out that Guo Jia took everyone and didn't go outside, but walked inside with things?! What does he want to do? Aren't you afraid that the fire will grow bigger and everyone will be burned inside?
Suddenly, Cai Wenji remembered what Ming'er's little maid had said at the beginning, and couldn't help but glance at Ming'er, and asked, "Fengxiao, do you want to ......?"
"Shhhh Don't say more, just follow me! Guo Jia said, leading everyone to his master bedroom, pushing open a cabinet, revealing a downward passage.
Except for Cai Wenji and Ming'er, Diao Chan and Tang Ji didn't know about this kind of thing, and for a while, the two were surprised.
Guo Jia also lit the torch and asked Cai Wenji and the others to go down first, and then burned it indiscriminately in the room, and after the whole room was on fire, Guo Jia hurriedly entered the underground passage, and then completely sealed the entrance and exit from the inside!
Walking into the basement, the women were scared and curious to look around, although Cai Wenji and Ming'er knew about this place, but it was the first time they came down.
After Guo Jia followed in, he lit the candles in the basement one by one, and the dark space gradually brightened, of course, the light was still relatively dim, and it was completely incomparable with the outside, but it was also somewhat clear to see the layout here.
It is very simple, there are almost no decorations, only some ordinary utensils. The air is not good, and it is humid, and it is not a good place to live.
Everything here, Guo Jia is designed according to the house in the previous life, after coming down from the top, it is a relatively wide "living room", and then around this living room, there are doors on all sides.
However, in the eyes of the women, these rooms are probably more like legendary dungeons.
After everything was done, Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and said to a few people, "I don't think I need to say it now, you also understand it, this is the golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell!" We will live underground for a while, and by the time we see the sky again, we will have completely separated from Dong Zhuo and gone to seek refuge with the other princes. ”
"Fengxiao, now that the house above has burned down, how can we get out in the future?" Cai Wenji couldn't help asking.
"Rest assured, there are three exits here. In addition to the above one, there are two other ones, both of which are closed on the inside and cannot be opened on the outside. If it doesn't work, there's a well in the backyard that leads there, and we can find a way out there. Guo Jia pointed to a door and said, from that door, there is a hole in the well, a hole in the side wall above the water surface, and you can climb outside along the rope that draws water, such a secret place, people who don't know can't find it at all, and it can also be used for ventilation.
"In the future, if you don't have enough water, you can go to the well over there to fetch it, don't go that way if it's okay, be careful not to fall." Guo Jia reminded. Then he pointed to another door and said, "There's enough food and water for a month, and I don't think we should be able to stay that long, so we don't need to save food at all." ”
Finally, he pointed to the innermost door, "The thatched house is over there." In short, that's pretty much it, the rest of the rooms, except for one for storage, the others can be occupied. ”
The women were silent for a while, probably completely unaware of the sudden occurrence of such a thing. For a while, I couldn't figure out a lot of things, and I wanted to ask, but I didn't know where to start.
After a while, Ming'er's little maid suddenly remembered and asked, "What about the big guy?" Won't he come along? ”
The entrances and exits above are no longer usable, and the other two entrances and exits, it seems that Guo Jia is also sealed from the inside, so won't Guo Yuan come in?
"I told him to leave in the carriage first, as if we were all gone. Then a man sneaked back and climbed in through that well. Guo Jia explained that if someone finds out and can't come back, then Guo Yuan can only improvise.
There was another silence, Cai Wenji looked up at Guo Jia fiercely, and said in a trembling voice, "Then, what about my father?" ”
Guo Jia smiled bitterly, and sure enough, he still couldn't escape this link, shook his head, and told Cai Wenji everything before.
Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Cai Wenji had already cried in a low voice.
"It's going to be fine." Guo Jia stepped forward and hugged Cai Wenji to comfort him, "We are missing at most now, and we haven't done anything unfavorable to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo can't figure out what to do to his father-in-law." ”
"But I'm still very worried, my father has always been with Dong Zhuo, even if Dong Zhuo won't harm him, when the princes' coalition forces fight in the future, I don't know if he will encounter danger." Cai Wenji muttered.
