Create a home with a system

Chapter 258
Afraid that Qiu Jingming would get to the bottom of it, Tangning hurriedly changed the subject, "Let's find out if there are any other rocks nearby."

Interrupted by her, Qiu Jingming really did not continue to ask. The two wandered around the waterfall for a long time, and found eight related stones here and there. These stones seemed to be bigger than the entrance of the cave. It may have been washed down, and there are not only ghost symbols on it that Qiu Jingming can't understand, but also some paintings.

Qiu Jingming understood this painting, "It seems to be a person praying to the heavens and offering offerings. This one is five fruits, and this one is...the people behind the five animals don't quite understand it."

Although the two of them couldn't understand the meaning of the painting, Qiu Jingming was very clear about one thing. This kind of mural was not carved by ordinary people, and it was carved in such a hidden place. It was very similar to the murals of mausoleums or the pictures of sacrificial places, no matter what it was , are not something they can explore privately.

The couple looked at each other.

Qiu Jingming said decisively: "Let's go back. I'll go to the government office. You go back and watch the workers in the back mountain first. Don't let them get close to this place."

Tangning nodded in agreement.

It stands to reason that Qiu Jingming can only rush into the city when the city gate is locked, and he will definitely not be able to get out. Fortunately, Jiang Kun is now the cook of the magistrate's mansion and has his own residence. Qiu Jingming can stay with him, and then If you're not lucky, you can go to Wang Hu's inn. They used to stay here as if they were visiting. Not only did they not need to spend money, but Wang Hu also entertained them with good food and wine. Tangning wasn't worried at all.

Not long after Qiu Jingming left, and the sun was about to set, the working man tidied himself up, wiped off his stinky sweat, and said to Tangning, "Ma'am, we can go back to see the magistrate after cleaning up tomorrow. See if there is anything else that needs our help, you have to let us know in advance."

"Everyone has worked hard. I will take a closer look and tell you tomorrow. It's getting late now. Go to the inn to rest, have some wine, and have a good night's rest." Tangning said politely, thinking about the situation in the valley , I wish they could get out quickly.

When the men heard this, they immediately became more energetic, and the guys holding the work walked out of the village talking and laughing.

Tangning watched them go out of the back mountain, and then quickly checked around, and then left after she knew what to do.

The old man Qiu and Qiu Changsheng knew that they were busy. When Tang Ning came back and greeted her for dinner, he found that Qiu Jingming was not with him. The old man Qiu asked suspiciously, "Where did that brat go? He couldn't go out so late. Let's buy and sell!"

"Grandpa, it's nothing. He just went to the government office. Don't worry, my uncle is there, as well as Wang Hu and the others. It doesn't matter where he stays at night." Tangning said with a smile.

The old man Qiu shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, forget about that brat, let's eat!"

Tangning accompanied them to finish their meal. Just after washing up and getting ready to go to bed, Qiu Jingming opened the door and walked in. She jumped up in fright, "What's the matter? Why did you come back by yourself?"

Qiu Jingming shook his head with a serious face, and gasped, "I didn't come back by myself. The magistrates have come, several of them. I came back to remind you, don't say that you can understand the words on the stone, my The rhetoric is that we only guessed the content of the painting, so don't let it slip."

Tangning knew that Qiu Jingming was protecting her, so she nodded immediately.

Only then did Qiu Jingming heave a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "Now I have to trouble my wife to change clothes, follow me to meet the prefect, after all, we both discovered it together, he couldn't just listen to me alone. "

Tangning stuck out her tongue, put on her clothes obediently, and tied up her hair with Qiu Jingming's help before following him out.

When the two arrived at the back mountain, they found several people holding torches. The leader was a soldier with a sword. The man nodded with Tangning and said, "Madam Qiu, my subordinate Zhao Ping has been famous for a long time."

An elegant man in casual clothes next to him also said: "The pawn of the workshop, Ying Zhixue, all changes in the mountains in Chaozhou must be recorded in the workshop."

"I've seen a few adults!" The people in front of me are very imposing, and they are not simple officials. Tang Ning did not dare to take Joe, and turned to look at Du Bailiang and Master Chen behind him, wearing the same mask and cloak as before. .

"Master Zhifu, it's late at night, this is you." Tangning was a little confused, but there have been some changes in Shanyu, why is there such a big battle, and come here at night, Houji is not such an urgent way, is it? !
Du Bailiang said slowly without changing his face: "The main reason is that the situation that Mr. Qiu said is so unbelievable. I was also worried about hidden dangers, so I brought people here overnight. If I don't investigate clearly, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

Listen, these words are so concerned about the country and the people. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Tangning put on a respectful look and said immediately, "I'm short-sighted. I didn't expect so much. Since that's the case, let me tell you Lead the way, I am familiar with this land!"

Zhao Ping asked tentatively: "Madam Qiu used to come here often?"

"No!" Tangning gave the other party a strange look, and said, "The first time I found out about the valley was when I was investigating with the prefect. Big water, so I gave up the place decisively, but at that time there was only a small river, and there were no waterfalls at all, otherwise such a big movement, Mr. Zhifu, they must have heard it when they came here for the first time. Look, you should be quiet, here You can hear the faint sound of running water."

They have just entered the back mountain and have not crossed the terraced fields yet!
Everyone really calmed down and listened carefully, and found that they could indeed hear some movement. They continued to walk inside and came to the place where Tang Ning brewed soy sauce. The sound of the waterfall was already very clear.

Master Chen said in a deep voice: "My lord, it was true that we didn't have this sound last time when we came here."

If there is, it is impossible not to notice any movement, Du Bailiang nodded, confirming what Master Chen said.

Tang Ning continued, "We didn't find the waterfall before. It was because the worker who worked today casually mentioned something that we paid attention to it. Who knew we would go down and check it out, and it really hit the spot! As for saying that I am familiar with this road, is it true? Because after the hurricane, the mountain roads were destroyed by broken trees and rocks, but I managed to clear it all the way and was able to leave. If I’m not familiar with it, who else is more familiar with it than me?”

This made Zhao Ping unable to refute. Qiu Jingming explained for Tangning, "My daughter-in-law is born with great strength. When a boulder that others can't lift is in her hands, it's as easy as playing with it."
