"Miss Wen, don't be afraid. Although Shen is not a good person, he is definitely not a bad person." Shen Yibai said warmly, "Please stay here for a few days."
"Stop talking nonsense," Chu Jian said impatiently, "The carriage is very tiring and tiring, so hurry up and get us settled!"
Shen Yibai seemed to have prepared words of comfort, but was blocked by the uninhibited and indifferent attitude of the first sight.
"...Take it over."
Shen Yibai gave some instructions to his men.
Wen Jinhe Chujian was being held to the left and to the right, twisting and turning... Although he couldn't see the road or the surrounding environment.
But based on feeling, I also knew that they seemed to be walking downwards. The air around them was biting and cold at first, then a little stuffy.
"arrive."
The two were pushed.
The person who was supporting them immediately backed away, slamming the door, and there was a dull sound of heavy objects being moved.
"Huh? You just left us here like this? Didn't you untie the rope? Didn't you remove the linen bag on your head?" Chu Jian shouted, "Hello? Where are we? Come back!"
Only a burst of footsteps was heard, getting farther and farther away and gradually becoming inaudible.
"Sister? Are you okay?"
"Stand still."
As Wen Jin spoke, he turned his back to Chu Jian and approached him.
At first sight, she felt her hand being touched behind her back.
"It's me, don't move, I'll untie it for you." Wen Jin said immediately.
"No need to bother, just wait for me..."
"Don't use Taoism." Wen Jin said again.
"Oh..." Chu Jianlao honestly waited for Wen Jin to fumble and untie the cloth from her hand.
She pulled off the linen bag on her head and untied Wen Jin's hands tied behind her back...
The two looked around. It was a square room, but there were no windows around it. An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the dim light illuminated their environment.
There was a bamboo bed without bedding and pillows, and a stone table that seemed to have not been used for a long time. There were two round stone benches beside the stone table, which were also covered with a thick layer of dust.
"He just locked us up in a place like this?" Chu Jian's eyes widened in shock, "Sister, I think I'd better use Taoism. This will at least allow the Imperial Master to find us quickly!"
Before Chu Jian finished speaking, there was another sound from outside.
When he first saw him, he immediately shut up and cautiously stood in front of Wen Jin.
After the dull sound of heavy objects being moved, the door was opened.
Two men entered the house carrying lanterns and were startled when they saw that Wen Jin and Chu Jian had escaped.
When I first saw him, I immediately tensed up and got ready to go.
The two of them hugged the quilt, carried the bucket, and took the rag.
The two of them quickly cleaned the bed, stone tables and stools, and threw the bedding on the bed. "Stay well. I'll bring you food tomorrow morning."
"Hey! Who do you think we are? We are distinguished guests invited by your master! Do you think we are prisoners?" Chu Jian pinched his waist and asked.
"It's you little girl! How dare you trip me after being tied up! Make me embarrassed in front of my brothers!" One of the men got angry when he saw her for the first time.
He immediately rolled up his sleeves and repaired his first meeting.
Not to be outdone at first sight, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's you who tripped you! You don't have eyesight, so you blame me?"
The man's companion grabbed him and said, "Master, don't cause trouble! Let's go!"
"Don't leave if you dare! Come and have a fight! See if your aunt is afraid of you?" Chu Jian said provocatively.
"You! Just wait for me!" The man blushed with anger and his neck was thick, and he was dragged away by his companion.
boom! The door was closed, followed by the dull sound of heavy objects moving.
"sister……"
"We are underground." Wen Jin suddenly said, "No wonder he dared to hide us in his mansion. I'm afraid this is..."
As Wen Jin spoke, he looked up at the "roof".
Chu Jian followed her and raised his head, "No way... We are not under the courtyard where the god Zhuanxu lives, are we?"
Wen Jin nodded, "It's possible that Shen Yibai knows that Zhuan Xu's Taoism is powerful, and he dares to hide us in his house. He must have caught the idea of 'darkness under the lamp'."
"I'm afraid Zhuan Xu doesn't know that there is a cellar in Shen Yibai's house, dug directly under the place where he lives."
"This place is not newly dug. Everything looks like it has been around for several years." Chu Jian looked around.
Wen Jin nodded and started to make the bed.
"What are you doing?" Chu Jian came to the bedside.
"Aren't you sleepy? Make the bed to sleep." Wen Jin hasn't done this kind of work for many years, but when it comes to actually doing things, he is still very agile.
"Just...just a bed." Chu Jian hesitated and looked at Wen Jin meaningfully.
Wen Jin chuckled, "They are all girls, what are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't slept together before."
"Ahem...I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that my sister is afraid!" Chu Jian smiled and immediately took off his coat and rolled into bed, "I'll warm my sister's bed!"
Wen Jin also took off his coat and lay on the bamboo bed.
The air here is dull, but for the first time, there is a refreshing atmosphere around me, a light lotus fragrance, fresh air, and breathing becomes smoother.
"Extinguish—" Chu Jianbun commanded to extinguish the oil lamp.
"It's not Taoism, it's breath." Chu Jian quickly explained.
"Yeah." Wen Jin hummed softly as the surrounding area fell into darkness.
"Sister, can I ask you a question?" When I first saw her in bed, next to Wen Jin, the fresh lotus fragrance was even more refreshing.
Wen Jin said nothing and was minding his own business.
"Why on earth did you want to be kidnapped? I thought you were joking. But Shen's fake act is really going to kidnap us... I think you are quite willing to cooperate?"
Wen Jin was silent for a moment.
Chu Jian whispered, "Can't you tell me?"
Wen Jin said in a lower voice, "Test Zhuan Xu to see if he will look for us and find us."
"Oh..." Chu Jian responded hesitantly.
Wen Jin's breathing gradually stabilized.
"Sister, are you asleep?" Chu Jian asked softly.
The only response to her was Wen Jin's even and long breathing.
When Chu met next to Wen Jin, she smiled contentedly, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
…
It was different from the calmness of the two of them.
In the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, someone was struck by thunder and lost his consciousness...
The driver drove back to the house and waited for the people in the car to get out.
He really couldn't wait and didn't dare to check rashly, so he had to ask for Li Chun.
Li Chun called to the car, but no one responded. He opened the door... It was so quiet in the car that there was no one there?
The coachman was so frightened that his legs weakened, "Heaven is my witness! I really saw my wife and Sister Chujian getting into the car before driving back! I didn't stop all the way! I didn't know when they got off the car!" "
"No...it's impossible to get off the bus! It was a smooth journey and the car didn't even stop. How did they get off?"
No matter how calm Li Chun is on weekdays, he is panicking now.
If something happens to the master and Sister Chujian, he... what should he do?
"Quick, go and report it to the Imperial Master!" Li Chun's whole body became cold, and layers of cold sweat broke out on his back. "Don't... don't make any noise, quietly report it to the Imperial Master!"
