Chapter 10: Secret Room
Chang Sihao looked at his very smug expression and thought: "Although this kid is full of madness, but for the delicacy of this cobweb, he must also have some unique means. "Say no more, and let him into the hospital.
I saw a small platform built in the middle of the flat ground of this courtyard, and a wooden statue stood on the small platform. In addition to this statue, there is nothing in the courtyard, which is quite different from the scene of flowers and plants in the other courtyard and rockeries. The front sits on a small building facing south in the north, the architectural style is in the same vein as the other places, it is also a two-story structure, the ridge and the cornice, the railing corridor is wrapped around each other, the elegance and simplicity are not lacking in majesty.
Chang Sihao took a closer look, and the wooden statue was originally a woman, draped in ribbons, with a kind and lifelike expression. couldn't help but blurt out: "This person is really carved, kind eyebrows, and heroic, a little like Guanyin Bodhisattva, but more beautiful and majestic than Guanyin." ”
Qin Juexiang snorted in his nose and said, "I don't need you to flatter. He stared at the statue for a while, and then said, "It's a pity that my technique is not good enough, and the carved image is not half as beautiful as my mother." The expression between the words was rather gloomy.
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "It turns out that this seems to be carved by him, and he thought that his mother had passed away, so he used it to commemorate it." It's not too bad for a person to know that he misses his mother. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel more good feelings and pity for him, and said, "Isn't this like a good carving? Seeing this statue is like seeing her." You don't have to be too sad. ”
Qin Juexiang gave him a blank look: "Who said I had seen her!"
Chang Sihao was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "It turned out that he hadn't seen his mother, so he carved a statue by imagination, no wonder he said that this image is not half as good-looking as his mother, and the mother he imagined in his heart is extremely beautiful, and no statue can compare with it." ”
The two continued to move forward, but Qin Juexiang did not run to the small building, but went around the back of the courtyard, the backyard is an empty field, the land is compacted, there is a big apricot tree surrounded by two people on the west side, there is a stone stone on the side of the wall, there is a weapon rack, obviously this is a practice ground. Qin Juexiang stood still, seemed to hesitate, looked at no one on the left and right, jumped behind the big apricot tree, and snorted at Chang Sihao: "You go and press that." Chang Sihao saw that there was a knot scar left by the broken old branch on the tree, and with a light touch, the bark suddenly recessed into a piece, and then rose upward, revealing a hole. Qin Juexiang jumped in, the vertical direction in the cave was not deep, Chang Sihao's hand was glued to him, and he jumped down, I don't know what mechanism Qin Juexiang stepped on, the bark slowly closed, and suddenly there was darkness around.
There is a staircase built of wooden planks on the ground, the difference between the two steps is very large, Qin Juexiang squatted down and slowly jumped down, Chang Sihao bent down to follow, down about thirty steps, it is estimated that it is more than four feet from the ground, and a faint light flashed in the left direction of the front, down here, Qin Juexiang stood up straight, it turned out that the ground under his feet was flat, and the height of the top of the cave was enough for him to walk upright, Chang Sihao was taller and burly than him, and he still had to bend over. The two turned to the left, Qin Jue jumped, his head hit the top of the cave, and he cursed, so he had to lower his head again. Chang Sihao glanced forward and saw that the faint light was coming from a recess in the earthen wall, and a small oil lamp was embedded in it. Following Qin Juexiang and walking, the road suddenly opened up, and it turned out that he had entered a rectangular underground secret room.
There are a lot of Buddha cave-like squares dug out on the soil walls on both sides of this secret room, and a cage is placed in each square, the thickness of the cage mesh is different, some are iron cages, some are bamboo cages, Chang Sihao can't help but be stunned when he sees the things in the cage.
I saw that in the cage, there are two-headed strange snakes, conjoined turtles, lizards on both sides whose eyes do not look in the same direction, spiders with long hairs like brushes, and cats born with only one eye, etc., there are dozens of cages on both sides, large and small, which are full of such deformed or strange animals, and there are fish tanks in the squares, and strange fish swim in them.
There were only a few small lamps on the walls of the basement that were spitting flames, and when the animals saw people coming, they moved their own activities, and strange shadows swayed with the flames, and some made strange noises, which made people feel even more chilled from the joints of their bones.
Chang Sihao asked: "You raised these things, how did you raise them here?" Qin Juexiang said: "If you don't raise them here, where are you raising them?" If you put them in the house, they have already been searched by the uncle and the bearded man. Chang Sihao remembered the poisonous snake that he threw into his mouth when he first entered the Qin Mansion, and snorted in his nostrils. Qin Juexiang said: "What are you humming? These animals are naturally strange, and when others see them, they have to find ways to kill them, but in fact, they are very docile, and they hide away from people when they see them, but they never take the initiative to harm people." As he spoke, he turned his head and bent down to greet the animals: "Xiaolong, are you hungry?"
Chang Sihao only felt strange and inexplicable when he saw him talking affectionately with these animals, but when he saw the extremely warm warmth in his eyes, it was like treating his relatives, as if the domineering and vicious nature of his usual days had never belonged to him, and his heart moved slightly: "Could it be that we all misunderstood him?"
Qin Juexiang straightened up and looked back at him, his eyes were full of vigilance and coldness: "What are you thinking about me?" Seeing Chang Sihao silent, he said hatefully: "Are you thinking, I'm a madman, right? You see me talking to these animals, don't you think I'm a madman, right? You're laughing at me in your heart! You're laughing at me!"
Chang Sihao looked calm: "You are wrong. ”
Qin Juexiang was stunned.
Chang Sihao continued: "I'm thinking, maybe people have misunderstood you all along, but in fact, you are a very emotional and very good child. Qin Juexiang was stunned again, and laughed very dryly: "You are making fun of me." Chang Sihao said: "No." I'm telling you the truth, you don't have to be so sensitive and suspicious...... If I'm right, you don't even have a friend, do you?"
Qin Juexiang pursed his lips and said coldly: "What if you have any friends?Is anyone worthy of making friends with the deity?" Chang Sihao smiled and thought: "He is the only son in the family, and he is used to being spoiled, but adults have adult affairs, Yin'er misses Xiao Jinyue every day, and will not want to play with him, after all, the servants of the maid ring are subordinates, and the master and slave are different, so they dare not get too close to him." Although he is not worried about food and clothing, his parents have passed away, and he has no playmates, his life is boring, he must be very lonely, and he does some strange things, perhaps to attract the attention of adults. If you can't make friends but say that others don't deserve to be friends with you, your self-esteem is so strong that you can't make friends. He sighed and said, "Friend, it depends on whether it's right or not, and it doesn't matter if it's worthy or not." In my hometown, I had a few friends, but they were all starving, so I knew what it was like to have no friends. Qin Juexiang said in surprise: "How can someone starve to death?Don't they know that they want to eat when they are hungry?" Chang Sihao smiled miserably: "Of course they know, but when they are hungry, they have nothing to eat, and they can't even drink a sip of water." Qin Juexiang stared and pondered: "Is there such a place in the world? Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Fuck, there are such places everywhere in the world, you are really strange!" Suddenly he thought: "The emperor lives in the courtyard of the deep palace, he eats and drinks every day, he just has fun, isn't it similar to him? The situation at the border is like the starving people in the world, to them are all irrelevant and distant things, everyone has their own life, whether they die in war or starvation, how many people die, and who cares? What the fuck!"
Qin Jue said, ", what are you thinking?" Let's go, it's serious to get the net down first. The two came to the end of this secret room, Qin Jue jumped to the wall and stepped on the mechanism, the secret grid flipped, and another door appeared, Chang Sihao came in with him, only to see that this secret room was much more spacious than the one just now, and the ground was paved with wooden boards, and there were several more oil lamps on the wall, which were brighter, and there were wooden shelves erected around them, on which there were all kinds of strange and strange parts, different lengths, as well as hammers, wooden saws, carving knives, steel hooks, ropes and other tools, and there was a wooden shelf, specially placed the finished products, at a glance, there were many wooden birds, There are also weapons such as crossbows, chain discs with blades, and flying needle barrels. Qin Juexiang pouted at a round bucket in the corner of the wall and said, "There." Chang Sihao went over to open the lid of the barrel, scooped some liquid medicine with the small spoon inside and poured it on his hand, the blood spider silk was really viscous and easily peeled off, so he took off the net for Qin Juexiang according to the law, and with little effort, the net had been removed.
Qin Juexiang was aggrieved for a long time, and at this time, he moved his body, he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Although this shot failed, it is enough to prove the power of my bloody cobweb, haha." ”
Chang Sihao thought to himself that no matter how powerful you are, but now you are entangled in yourself, what is the great thing? Qin Juexiang said proudly when he was sincerely approving: "You have vision." He pointed to the wooden frame where the finished products were placed: "I made these things, you see, how about Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse?"
"You did all this?" Chang Sihao walked over, picked up an iron tiger and fiddled with it.
Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "That's nature, how is it?" Chang Sihao saw that the tiger had two eyes, sharp teeth, and clear spots and patterns on his body, and he really admired his good skills. praised: "Like, magnify more than ten times, it's the same as the real thing." Qin Juexiang smiled: "There is something strange about the surface of it, you can pull its tail and try it." ”
Chang Sihao pulled it according to his words, but unexpectedly, there was a machine inside the iron tiger, and when the tail was pulled, the tiger snapped and turned around, and bit it, like a living thing.
He was startled, and withdrew his hand in shock, and the iron tiger's upper and lower teeth bit into the air, and when they were put together, there was a loud sound, and it was obvious that the spring force was extremely strong, and after falling to the ground, the sound of the bite was still trembling for a long time. Qin Juexiang laughed and said, "Interesting, come on, I'll show you another thing, it's guaranteed to open your eyes." Saying that, he stretched out his hand and pressed it against the wall, Chang Sihao only felt that his feet were soft, and he said in his heart: "It's not good!"
