Late at night, Shao Xi and Lao Wu woke up almost at the same time. They roughly counted the time and felt that it was almost the ugly hour.
The two of them put on short shirts, took off all the messy things on their bodies and placed them in the room. They quietly jumped out of the house through the back window, and then gently closed the window. They looked at each other and nodded. They both jumped onto the roof.
As long as your body skills are good enough, walking on the opposite slope of the roof is safer than walking on the ground. In addition, you can choose a straight line distance on the roof, so you don't have to go around, which saves time.
Shao Xi followed Lao Wu to the roof of Qin Yuezong's study. For safety reasons, the two of them lay on the roof and gently pulled away the tiles to look inside. They saw that the study was completely dark. Qin Yuezong was not in the study at this time. within.
So the two of them jumped from the back of the room to the ground, opened the back window and sneaked into the study one after another. Because after entering the study, they could no longer see the indoor furnishings by moonlight, Shao Xi took out the luminous pearl from his arms.
Even though the light of this thing is not very strong, it can still provide a little lighting in the complete darkness.
Relying on the memory of that year, Lao Wu touched the bookshelf bit by bit, and then touched the vase bit by bit along the wooden grid of the bookshelf. After turning it gently, he only heard a slight "click" sound from the bookshelf.
After a while, the entire bookshelf moved to one side, revealing a small door behind the bookshelf.
Old Wu touched the door bolt and opened it gently, then pushed the small door open. Since the oil pot lamp was always lit in the secret passage, the stairs of the secret passage could be vaguely seen at this time.
So after the two of them entered the small door, they gently closed it and walked underground along the stairs. After not walking far, they saw a corridor that was not too long. Through the dim light of the oil pot lamp on the wall, The light could see a thick iron gate at the end of the corridor.
There was a thick iron bolt across the iron door, and a huge iron lock hung on the iron bolt's head. The two of them ran to the iron door and squatted down to carefully observe the iron lock.
Shao Xi looked at Lao Wu and asked softly: "Is there any way?"
Lao Wu nodded and said nothing. He just raised his hand and touched his head. It felt like it was itchy somewhere on his head and he couldn't help but scratch it.
Before Shao Xi could ask him again, he saw him pull out two curved iron pieces from his bun.
Shao Xi looked at him as if he were a monster, thinking to himself that he had followed this old guy for so many years, how come he never noticed that he actually had this thing hidden in his hair?
Looking at the two curved and soft iron pieces, Shao Xi really couldn't imagine how to use them to open the iron lock in front of him.
Old Wu raised his eyelids and glanced at him without saying a word. He just straightened the two iron pieces in his hand and poked them into the keyhole of the big iron lock.
Although Shao Xi didn't know much about the specific structure of the lock, he knew that ancient locks did not have a lock spring. They only used a key to rotate the lock core to lock the pendant. Therefore, whether the lock head is opened or not cannot be determined by the automatic spring of the pendant. To judge, turn the lock cylinder and then pull the lock body. As long as the lifting ring withdraws from the lock body, the lock will be opened.
Shao Xi looked at Old Wu opening the lock seriously, and secretly wanted to give this old guy a safe. I wonder if he could open it? It will probably make his beard and hair turn gray from worry!
However, even the seemingly simple iron lock in front of you is not as easy as you think if you want to open it in a short time.
Shao Xi didn't know how to open locks, so he could only squat aside and watch Old Wu busy there. It seemed that the old guy had done this kind of thing a lot when he was young.
When Shao Xi was waiting a little impatiently, he heard a "click" inside the lock. Old Wu hurriedly raised his hand to pull the lock body, and the buckle came out of the lock body as expected.
At this time, Old Wu looked a little excited. He raised his hand and quickly took off the lock from the iron bolt, and then raised the iron bolt to one end.
The end that is lifted is one end of the padlock head, and the other end is connected to a shaft on the wall. The iron door can be opened only after the iron bolt is lifted. This is a double insurance, which can effectively prevent people inside the iron door from using violence. Breaking the way out.
After hanging the short iron chain on the head of the iron bolt on an iron hook on the wall, the entire iron bolt will hang there and will not fall down again.
Lao Wu opened the iron door and took Shao Xi into the iron door. As soon as he walked in, Shao Xi was almost fainted to the ground by the stinking smell. The smell was so offensive. ! It stinks to the extreme!
But when I thought about it, it wasn't surprising. A person had been locked up here for more than 20 years without seeing the light of day. He ate, drank, and defecated here. If the dungeon didn't stink, then there would be ghosts, but it really stunk!
Old Wu didn't seem to care about the stinky smell in the dungeon at all. Instead, he used the faint light in the dungeon to quickly scan the small dungeon, and in just a moment, he locked his eyes on a part of the dungeon. In the corner.
That corner of the wall was the darkest place, and I could vaguely see a person sitting there, leaning against the wall. As I approached the person, the stinking smell became stronger.
Looking closer, I saw that the man's clothes were in tatters, and his hair almost covered his entire face. The hair on his head was more like some knotted felt than hair.
The whole person was skinny, skinny, and severely malnourished, like a dirty and smelly rag thrown in the corner.
This person seemed to have no reaction at all to the arrival of Shao Xi and Lao Wu, leaning there like a dead person.
Perhaps in the past twenty years, he has long been accustomed to shrinking here and living in his own world, and everything outside can no longer have any impact on him.
Old Wu came closer and raised his hand to lift his hair in front of his face. When he saw his appearance, he couldn't help being startled by his appearance.
I saw that the beard on this man's face had grown to his chest, and was stuck together with dirt. His face was skinny and skinny, his cheekbones were high, his eye sockets were sunken deeply, and his eyes seemed to be blind.
The whole person looked lifeless, with no sign of any vitality.
Old Wu couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he called out softly: "Wei Ping! Look at me, look at who I am? Do you still recognize me?"
The man still seemed unresponsive, and he didn't even seem to have the strength to raise his eyelids. It was only through the trembling of the beard on his mouth that he could tell that he was still breathing. He didn't know how long he hadn't eaten, and he was already moving. All the strength was gone.
It is estimated that even if Old Wu kept calling him like this, he would not have any reaction. Shao Xi patted Old Wu's shoulder lightly, meaning that he would take the person away first and ask later if he had any questions.
Old Wu also understood that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he nodded, stretched out his hands to pull the man up, put him on his back, and walked out of the dungeon with him on his back.
After leaving the dungeon door, Shao Xi closed the door again, put down the iron bolt, hung up the door lock and locked it again. From the outside, it looked like no one had ever been there.
He believed that the Qin family's father and son were asking questions outside the door on weekdays, and they couldn't bear the stinky smell inside.
And through Lao Wu's words, Shao Xi knew that Wei Ping was a very individual person, and it was very likely that he ignored him every time the Qin family and his son asked him.
In this way, even if the person is rescued for a long time, the Qin family and his son may not be able to discover it, which is very beneficial to him.
After locking the door, Shao Xi followed Lao Wu through the corridor and came to the entrance connecting the study. Since the door was relatively small, Lao Wu placed Wei Ping on the steps, got out of the door first, and then took Wei Ping to the door. Drag him into the study.
Shao Xi then followed up, closed the small door and bolted it again. When he was about to turn the vase on the bookshelf, Wei Ping raised his hand and grabbed Shao Xi's trouser leg, which shocked Shao Xi. Jump.
Since the light in the study was extremely dark, Shao Xi couldn't see Wei Ping's expression, so he asked softly in the darkness, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
But he heard Wei Ping answer him in a hoarse, very weak voice, "Vase... inside the vase..."
vase? What's in the vase? Besides, which vase is he talking about?
However, in the next moment, Shao Xi immediately realized that the vase Wei Ping reminded him might be the vase he was about to turn. Could there be something in the vase?
Shao Xi didn't know if his guess was right. Anyway, adhering to the principle of making three poles if there were dates or not, he reached out and touched the vase, but he immediately found that the neck of the vase was too thin, and his hand couldn't handle it at all. I can't reach it in.
But now I don’t have tools like thin wire in my hand, so how can I know if there is anything in the vase? If so, how to take it out?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when Wulongshan Chubu went to teach him the Qiankun Hand, he had mentioned that the claw style among the four hand styles of the Qiankun Hand could activate the vitality to generate suction when using the grappling moves, sucking the opponent into his body. In the palm of your hand, but this usage can only be used after "Qi Transformation Realm".
Now that he is in the "Qi Transformation Realm", he has never tried it before, so Shao Xi puts his hand on the mouth of the vase to circulate the Qi Sea, activates his internal force, and uses the Qiankun Claw Style to reverse the Qi and suck it into his hand.
Feeling something soft falling into his palm, Shao Xi quickly grabbed it. After grabbing it, he felt that it should be something like a piece of cloth.
Shao Xi quickly turned around and asked softly: "But a piece of cloth?"
Wei Ping's hoarse and weak voice came from the darkness again, "Yes..."
After receiving Weiping's affirmative answer, Shao Xi turned the vase and returned the bookshelf to its original position.
Opening the back window, he helped Old Wu lift Wei Ping out of the window, then he jumped out of the window and gently closed the window again.
Old Wu carried Wei Ping on his back again, and the two of them jumped up onto the roof again, and flew towards their own rooms. The smell was still permeated wherever they passed, and it was disgusting.
It seems that there is no time for him to take a bath today. Let's wait until he leaves the Qin family!
