Fish are clumsy.
It seemed that he had never seen a human being before. After seeing him, not only did he not run away, but he opened and closed his mouth to kiss him.
Luo Qingzhou stuffed his finger into its open mouth and threw it aside.
Since the fish are fine inside, there shouldn't be any monsters or too much danger hidden inside, right?
Luo Qingzhou hesitated and got in.
At first, I could only crawl and swim. After more than ten meters, the passage suddenly became wider.
And the lake water inside began to gradually decrease.
Luo Qingzhou stood up, stepped into the water up to his legs, and walked cautiously inside.
The passage is getting wider and wider, and even if you stand, there is still some distance between your head and the top.
The lake water on the ground has begun to disappear, and the stones above the head are glowing with faint fluorescence.
After walking another tens of meters, another road suddenly appeared next to it.
The ground was a little damp and filled with scattered stones and soil.
On the right side of the road, there was a broken stone door.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and walked over.
When he walked to the stone door, he discovered that there was a spacious stone room of about one hundred square meters inside.
There are stone benches, stone tables, stone beds, and many animal statues in the stone room.
However, many statues were broken, stones were scattered all over the ground, and everything was in a mess.
In the corner, there are actually two wooden figures.
The wooden dummy was intact.
Luo Qingzhou walked closer and suddenly punched one of the wooden mannequins.
"boom!"
A fist that could even crack the tree trunks outside hit the wooden man stake, but there was only a low muffled sound, and the top was unscathed.
I don’t know what kind of wood this wooden dummy is made of, but it is so tough.
Moreover, hitting it with his fist was different from hitting it on a hard stone. There seemed to be a trace of elasticity on it, which seemed to be able to absorb his strength.
Luo Qingzhou observed carefully for a while, but couldn't find any clues. He looked around the entire stone chamber and found nothing else.
After leaving the stone chamber, walked onto the main road and continued walking forward. Suddenly there was another three-way road ahead.
But the front of each road seemed to be blocked by collapsed rocks.
Luo Qingzhou walked into one of the passages. When he was observing the stones blocking the road, he suddenly found something hard under his feet.
When he looked down, he found that it was a piece of white bone.
The white bones were a little curved, not like human bones.
When he looked down, he found several more skeletons in the corner, all of which were animal skeletons.
"Strange, why did the animals come underground?"
And it seems that these skeletons do not look like ordinary animals. The bones are thick, the fangs are like knives, and the claws are also very sharp and slender.
Could it be a monster?
Judging from the situation, these bones have been here for many years, and some are pulverized.
Luo Qingzhou observed carefully for a while, but couldn't figure out why.
The road ahead is blocked again, making it impossible to move forward.
He exited again and looked in the two passages, and found many bones of unknown animals on the ground.
At the same time, everything in front was blocked.
Where was this place? How come there are so many secret passages and so many bones?
And it’s actually at the bottom of the lake?
These secret passages are hidden deep under the lake. Where do they lead to?
Luo Qingzhou was thinking secretly in his heart, and suddenly his heart moved.
Bottom of the lake?
lake?
He suddenly remembered the lake in Chengguofu.
The lake in Chengguo Mansion and the lake in Qin Mansion are both warm all year round, filled with mist, and have lotus bushes. The area seems to be similar, but there is no attic there and no one cares about it.
Are the two lakes connected?
Could it be that this underground secret passage actually runs through the entire streets of Mocheng, connecting two lakes and two mansions, and even connecting to other places?
If this is the case, do the owners of the two families know?
Luo Qingzhou's mind was filled with questions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these two lakes and the secret passage at the bottom of the lake were unusual.
But he didn't dare to stay longer.
Xiaodie is still waiting above.
He looked around again and saw nothing useful, so he immediately walked out of the passage, entered the lake, and swam up quickly.
"Wow!"
When he saw the two snow-white and slender legs of a girl under the water, he suddenly floated up.
Xiaodie was worried and dazed. When she saw him suddenly appearing in front of her, she was startled, covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"Oh... Young Master, you scared this slave to death..."
Xiaodie whimpered, opened her arms directly, threw herself into his arms, and said in a tearful tone: "Young Master has been down for so long, I thought... I thought that Young Master will never come up."
Luo Qingzhou was hugged by this delicate and smooth body, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly opened her arms and said, "It's okay. I held my breath for a long time, but I couldn't find Yuyu."
"Son..."
"What's wrong?"
"My slave wants to..."
"Want to pee? Or do you want to eat fish?"
"Not at all... I want to..."
The little girl's cheeks were red and hot, and her delicate and smooth body seemed to have lost all strength, and she pressed softly against his chest, trembling slightly.
"I want to eat shit!"
Luo Qingzhou picked her up, walked quickly to the shore, put her on the shore, and said angrily: "I said I would grow for another year, why are you so anxious?"
The little girl was naked, with her slender and straight jade legs held together without covering them up. She stood there slim and graceful, and said with a blushing face: "Master, then... can it be done next year?"
Luo Qingzhou went ashore, threw the dress on her body, put on his own clothes, and said casually: "Well, next year."
"Young Master, you must keep your word, next year!"
Xiaodie immediately put on her clothes happily.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, looking at her, feeling that something was wrong.
Xiaodie had put on her clothes, and Fang suddenly opened her arms and hugged his arms tightly. He raised his shy little face and said with a smile: "Sir, the Chinese New Year will be in one month. A gentleman's words, it's hard to ride a horse like a horse. Chai, Master, you can’t lie to others!”
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
On the way back.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but said: "Xiaodie, what are you learning from Xiaotao and Qiu'er every day?"
"Nv Hong, playing flute, guzheng, and dancing."
"that's it?"
"besides……"
"what else?"
"Gone……"
"hehe."
"Sir, what does hehe mean?"
"Hehe means that the young master knows that you are a little liar."
"Ugh... Young Master, I don't have one."
The master and the servant talked all the way, and they hugged me and pushed me back to the small courtyard.
"Sir, please let me hug you, let me kiss you, and let me tell you, okay?"
"No need, I can think of it all."
"ah?"
"Stop talking, I'm going to pay their respects."
Luo Qingzhou changed his clothes and went out.
Xiaodie blushed and murmured to herself in the room: "Young master, do you all know? You know that I am learning those... those... wuwu, so embarrassing, so shameful..."
When Luo Qingzhou passed by the "Lingchan Moon Palace", he only glanced at it and did not stop.
He decided to go and greet the mother-in-law first, then come back to greet Miss Qin, and talk to Bai Ling by the way.
When he arrived at the mother-in-law's residence, he found that the atmosphere was not right.
Meier led him into the hall.
Song Ruyue sat on the chair with a pretty face and looked at him coldly.
"Luo Qingzhou! You are so brave!"
Before he could bow down to say hello, Song Ruyue began to scold her sternly: "What story did you tell Wei Mo today? Who asked you to tell her such a dirty and shameless story? That's your sister-in-law, that's your sister! You As a brother-in-law and a scholar, how can you tell such a sordid story that violates morality and etiquette? What on earth do you have in mind?"
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and was about to explain when he heard her say again: "Tell me! Tell me the story of the West Chamber that you told Wei Mo today, word for word! I want to take a closer look and see what is so magical about this obscene story that it can make my Wei Mo listen with gusto and stop thinking about food and tea!"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"You are mute? Do you hear me when I ask you to speak? Speak immediately, immediately, now!"
Song Ruyue slapped the table and glared angrily.
Luo Qingzhou could only lower his head and said: "Yes, mother-in-law."
He had no choice but to retell "The Romance of the West Chamber" that he had told Miss Qin Er that morning.
This time I was more careful, and I didn't dare to fool this mother-in-law like I fooled that girl Chan Chan.
He lowered his head and spoke carefully.
"In the end, the two gave birth to several fat boys and several lovely daughters, and lived a happy and sweet life..."
After he finished speaking, the hall was silent for a while.
When he looked up, Song Ruyue slapped the table and shouted angrily: "It's indeed a dirty story! A man and a woman have a private meeting for life, and they have no respect for their elders. How dare you teach my family Wei Mo! Luo Qingzhou , you are so brave!"
Then he said angrily: "Mei'er! Take him to my back garden and punish him by loosening the soil for flowers for an hour!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Mei'er immediately responded respectfully and walked to Luo Qingzhou's side.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned, and when he was about to speak, Meier grabbed his arm, took him away, and whispered: "Uncle, don't be so stubborn."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to shut up and follow her to the backyard.
Soon after the two left, Song Ruyue immediately stood up, walked to the door of the side room, opened the bead curtain, walked in, and asked urgently: "Have you written everything down?"
An old gentleman with gray hair was sitting in front of the desk, holding a wolf hair and writing quickly and scrawly on rice paper, ignoring her.
After a while, Fang put down his pen and couldn't help but sigh: "What a literary talent! What a story!"
Song Ruyue said angrily: "I asked you, have you written everything down?"
Only then did the husband react. He stood up and said, "Madam, I have written it all down. It doesn't matter if I miss a few sentences. I have read all kinds of books, but I have never heard of such a story. I am afraid it was written by my uncle himself." , My uncle’s talent is really unfathomable! Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, the Qin Mansion has gotten a big deal!"
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and said: "Stop flattering me! Let me ask you, is this story comparable to "The Story of a Sweet Boudoir"? Can I tell it to earn face?"
The husband quickly said: "Yes! It certainly can! This story is much better than "The Story of a Sweet Boudoir," but..."
"But what? Tell me!"
Song Ruyue frowned.
The old man lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "But my uncle obviously didn't tell the whole story. The ambiguous scenes between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying should be more exciting than the "Fragrant Boudoir", but...it's just that my uncle hindered the second lady and Cui Yingying. Madam, you are a woman, so you just said it, what a pity, what a pity."
Song Ruyue's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of thought between her brows.
And at this time.
In the back garden, Luo Qingzhou was digging the ground in the flower garden with a hoe, when a surprised and childish voice suddenly came from beside him: "Brother!"
Immediately, another voice of surprise also sounded: "Brother! It's that brother! It's really him!"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned and turned to look.
Two figures, one tall and one short, ran over with excitement on their faces.
They were carrying flowerpots in their hands.
A little boy and a little girl, they both looked about seven or eight years old.
The two of them ran closer, immediately put down the flower pots in their hands, and looked at him with excitement and surprise.
Luo Qingzhou was confused: "You are..."
