Chapter 339: Ghost haunted? (1st update)
Wu Chen looked up at the darkening sky, and said as if to himself: "What can't be done from the front, but from the side? Or maybe they tried it many times from the front, and found that No, let’s think about it from the side. After so many years, we have just found a way, can’t it take so long?”
Xing Yun said impatiently: "If you want to know what's going on, why don't you just go down and have a look?"
Wu Chen waved his hand and said: "It's not easy to train you. If I go down, I'll bury you. The officials will definitely complain about me, and your brother will not let me go..."
"I am dead, but you are alive?"
"It's not like you haven't experienced it before. I can't die."
"Huh!" Xing Yun snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else.
Wu Chen then explained: "If you analyze more possibilities, you can make some preparations in advance. This is like training before a war. More practice can save your life. Besides, if I go down and there is no arrangement outside, I don’t feel at ease.”
“Are you sure there is something poisonous down there?” Shang Gong asked seriously.
Wu Chen nodded, looked at Xing Yun and asked: "Do you have a universal antidote? You gave me a pill to remove corpse poison, do you have any other cures for other poisons?"
Xing Yun took out a small medicine bottle, opened it and quickly took one pill, and asked: "What else should I prepare?"
Wu Chen said: "I will also take one pill for those who will stay here later."< br>
After that, Wu Chen pointed to the old man on the ground who was not sure whether he was dead or alive and analyzed:
“There must be something they are very afraid of down there, so they would send this man. The two came, and the old man made preparations first. Just now he blurted out what I would do when it gets dark. I deduced that someone would come to help them after dark. Now thinking about it, there might be something down there. The Black Queen will come out, and they are waiting for that thing to come out before going down..."
"What a mess!" Xing Yun was a little confused.
Shang Gong looked around and asked, "What comes out at night?"
"What else could it be, a ghost? He can see it and conquer it, so what's so scary about it?" Xing Yun was a little confused. untie.
Wu Chen asked: "I can see it, can you see it? Can they see it? If they can't see it, how can they conclude that a powerful ghost will come out at night? What is it doing? How long will it take to get back?” >"There's still a bear out there! It can't be a ghost..."
"Is there a bear?" Shang Gong was shocked.
"No! That's what I said. Come on, I'll go down first to see what the old man has prepared. Maybe I can guess what's under Liu's house. Those people from outside should be in their places. Shang Mansion Yin quickly ordered the two men to be taken away, as well as Liu Zhai's side. "
Xing Yun asked quickly: "What should I do? "< br>
"You stay at the entrance of the tunnel and no one is allowed to go down. If I don't come up with a stick of incense..." Wu Chen was silent for a moment and said: "Block the tunnel immediately and no one is allowed to go down!" Report it to the officials and seal it within ten miles, and ask them to find capable people to break it."
"If you can't do it, who can?" Xing Yun seemed to realize that something was serious.
Wu Chen chuckled and said, "What I'm saying is, if I can't do it, who can? In the same way, if I can't do it, no one can do it."
"But Deputy Ambassador Wu, you just said, this The old man went down there..."
"Yeah, it wasn't dark at that time, but it's almost dark now. "
Wu Chen interrupted Shang Gong, walked to the entrance of the tunnel, and stayed for two seconds. The reason why he never went down to take a look was that he was waiting for the big head. Past experience, Once he has the intention to do something, and if the matter is dangerous, Datou will feel it.
According to Wu Chen's current familiarity with the capital, he couldn't calculate the time it would take for the big head to come, but for the second brother to pick up Xu Da and Gu You, he roughly calculated that it would be a one-way trip. For some, half an hour is enough.
From the moment Wu Chen talked to the old man, he had already made up his mind to go down and have a look tonight. The old man wanted to delay, so Wu Chen was delaying, he was waiting for someone to come.
Xing Yun came and Zheng and Wu Chenyi were usually accompanied by Xu Dasong Gu, a sophomore in high school, and they had someone to follow them. At least they could discuss things when they encountered them, and sometimes they could help. If not, they could also pass on messages.
Now the second year of high school went to send a message, and Shang Gong was here. The second year of high school has not returned yet. He probably went back to the house to visit Xu Da and Gu You. Song Gu and Gu Shiming went to the clinic again. Fortunately, Xing Yun came, and he One can equal two.
Wu Chen walked down the steps at the entrance of the tunnel. Xing Yun asked hurriedly: "You don't bring a torch?"
"It's in the way!" Wu Chen responded.
The tunnel was pitch dark, with only the entrance having some light.
Wu Chen carefully looked at the road under his feet and looked ahead from time to time. He frowned and smelled the smell in the tunnel. There was no damp and rotten smell. On the contrary, there was a smoky smell after burning something. .
He looked carefully at the wall, which was made of bricks and stones. He stopped and looked at the steps under his feet and realized that the road in the tunnel was easy to walk and should be a paved brick road.
Wu Chen walked down carefully and slowly. There were many steps and it looked like the tunnel was very deep. Wu Chen's eyes slowly adapted to the darkness and his steps became faster.
Wu Chen quickly walked down the remaining steps, and then stood in the tunnel and looked forward as far as he could see. The tunnel was straight and about fifty meters away. Wu Chen could see the darkness in the distance. Who repaired the door? It's definitely not the Liu family. Why did those people build a gate? Wu Chen took a few steps forward and heard the sound of a mouse. He looked around and finally discovered what the old man had put.
mouse!
The living mice seemed to be fixed under the corner of the wall. There was one every two or three meters. They were struggling and occasionally made a "squeaking" sound. Wu Chen looked back and said, There wasn't one on the steps leading down from the entrance, and he walked a few steps down the tunnel before he saw one in front of him. What does that mean?
The old man must have used up all the rats he brought down.
Wu Chen no longer thought about it and turned around and walked out of the tunnel.
Xing Yun was visibly relieved when he saw that it was Wu Chen who showed up.
Wu Chen said: "Hurry and look for any rats around?"
"Huh?"
"The old man put live rats down there, but there were no more when they were near the exit. I suspect he ran out of what he brought down with him..." Wu Chen went up to the ground and lowered his head to listen carefully before he finished speaking.
Xing Yun understood what Wu Chen meant and had already started to look around. While searching, he said: "If they are for making bait, then these mice should be together. There are hay everywhere in this yard, maybe in the hay pile Among them, maybe in those dilapidated houses..."
Xing Yun suddenly stopped talking. (End of chapter)
