Otherworldly Farmhouse

After the chirping sound, a dark hole appeared on the ground. After the hole was completely exposed, there was a bang sound, and a skeleton fell out from inside. Ling covered his eyes, not having time to see what it was.

The brothers of the Muha clan took all the people out of the house without any discussion, and closed the door with a tacit understanding.In fact, there were not many people in the room, Mu Yu Luo Ling Mu Feng Mu Cheng Mu Ling, and four children, Tang Anwen went upstairs to find ointment, and Chen Lao went to milk the goat.

Luo Ling was a little puzzled, before he had time to see clearly, he seemed to see some white bones or something.He was attracted by Mu Yu's son stuffed into his arms. For Luo Ling, nothing was as attractive as the precious son in his arms.Although I am a little curious, I don't know what treasures are hidden in the secret room, but having bones means that there are dead people, and it is very bad to have dead people. His son is only half a month old, and it is unlucky to be near these.

Mu Feng turned his head and said to Luo Ling: "Luo Ling waits for Ah Wen to come down, you call him to the main hall, and ask Mr. Chen to send the goat milk to the main hall. Brother Doudou Guoguo Sanbao wants you to watch it. I need to do some cleaning, do you understand?"

After Tang Dou Guoguo nodded, Mu Feng carried the Three Treasures to the main hall, put the Three Treasures on the bamboo floor, and let Tang Dou watch, Mu Feng called Ah Wen upstairs.After Tang Anwen responded, Mu Feng took the children to the main hall and asked him to wait in the main hall to apply medicine to Tang Guo. There was some minor problem in the side hall, so he was asked to stay in the main hall and wait.

Luo Ling kept Mu Feng and Mu Yu's words in mind, stood at the entrance of the main hall, and asked Chen Lao to send the goat milk here when Chen Lao squeezed the goat milk back. He and the child are currently staying in the main hall.Although Mr. Chen was a little baffled, the side hall was very cool, so why did the young master take the young master to the main hall to stay there.

But Mr. Chen was a very qualified and loyal servant, he was always very clear about what to ask and what not to ask.He watched Luo Ling grow up, and he had always taken care of Luo Ling when he was in Jianyang City.Mr. Chen has no children and no other relatives. He raised Luo Ling like a grandson, and Luo Ling also respects Mr. Chen very much, and often complains to Mr. Chen about some things. Here, it was the young master acting like a baby, but Luo Ling didn't notice it.

Tang Anwen finally found the blood stasis ointment he wanted after searching through the bedroom, and hurried downstairs, seeing his son with swollen bumps on his face, Tang Anwen was very distressed. Tang Guo was taken good care of by him and Mu Feng. Although she fell and bumped from time to time, it was never so serious.

Tang Anwen quickly dug out a lump of ointment from the small porcelain bottle, gently touched Tang Guo's forehead, and blew on it from time to time, telling Tang Guo that the pain would soon be gone.

Tang Guo had already calmed down at this time, that moment was the most painful at that time, and after being burrowed by a strange hole in the deputy hall, Tang Guo's forehead actually didn't hurt so much anymore.What's more, Brother Amu and Dad both comforted him. Tang Guo was in a better mood, and his body relaxed. In addition, Tang Guo's mind was occupied by the dark hole. In short, if you don't mention it to Tang Guo at this time, , he almost forgot the bag on his forehead.

After Tang Anwen applied the ointment on Tang Guo, he was a little curious about what was going on. Although Mu Feng said that there was something dirty in the auxiliary hall and needed to be cleaned, Tang Anwen remembered that the auxiliary hall was extremely clean, except for a coffee table and a few chairs, which were placed On the few mats, it seems that even the watermelon has not been eaten. Tang Guo and Douzi have clean hands and mouths.

After closing the door, Mu Feng and Mu Yu stood in the side hall. The two of them looked at the dark hole. The hole was about 1.5 meters long. The original ground sank to the ground, forming a series of steps, and the bones were scattered at the bottom. on the stairs, so I thought that what I saw in the dark was not real.Mu Cheng and Mu Ling went to fetch a basket, straw, and a torch, and they hurried back.

After the torch was lit, Mu Yu asked Mu Cheng to stay, Mu Ling held the torch and walked in front, Mu Feng held an oil lamp in his hand, and followed Mu Yu, and after about twenty steps, he reached the bottom of the secret room. A gust of cold wind rushed in, it turned out that there was such a large space under the house, at least more than a hundred square meters.And there is actually a well at the end of the secret room.As soon as the wood spirit torch was raised, a few people discovered that there was actually an ice cellar underneath, and a lot of cold air came out from it. Now they finally understood why the room was so cool.

In this space of about [-] square meters, there are more than a dozen skeletons scattered, including adults and children. There should be a ventilation system in the secret room, otherwise such a place will definitely have an unpleasant smell.There are some wooden frames on the surrounding walls. There are various kinds of famous porcelain, jade and coral decorations, and some inkstones on the wooden frames. They are probably good things. There are six boxes in the corner of the secret room. There is a box with some good fabrics inside, but no matter how good these fabrics are, they will be ruined after being with the skeleton for too long.

Mu Yu and Mu Feng were not in a hurry to check these, they went to these bones and carefully observed the scars of the deceased, but there were no obvious scars on all the bones.At this time, the wood spirit walked around the wooden frame, not curious about the shining things.But he yelled at Mu Cheng outside, telling him to come over with the wooden ladder, he wanted to go to the ice cellar, maybe there might be some surprises.After Mucheng heard the sound, he went outside to move the ladder.

When Mu Yu heard Mu Ling's words, he smiled and said, "You don't mean to use the ice below, do you? These ices have been with these bones for many years. How dare you eat them?"

Mu Ling smiled and said: "You can't say that about the general, maybe they hid the good things in the ice cellar."

Mu Yu nodded in agreement when he heard the sound. The ice cellar is indeed much safer than this secret room. If a thief enters this secret room and finds that there are so many good things in the secret room, he will leave immediately after carrying it. Who would want to climb into it? The ice cellar is a place where people are freezing to death, and there is no wooden ladder here, which means that the owner probably does not take ice much, or simply hides the best things in the depths of the ice cellar.

Mu Feng walked to the door of the secret room, held up the oil lamp and saw many scratches on the wall, and the scratches near the ground were very strange, not like the blade, but looked a bit like... At the same time, Mu Yu also gained something , these dead bones did not seem to have any scars, but there were knife marks on the neck bones of several young children, and they should have been cut off and died.Then Mu Yu gradually found some knife marks on the bones of the adults. These people died of knife wounds.

Mu Feng reached out and stroked the knife marks on the wall, and then touched the scratches near the bottom of the wall. He touched repeatedly, looking at the bones scattered at his feet. In front of this person should be a tall and strong brother with a pelvic bone. Very big, brother's pelvis is generally larger than that of men, which is convenient for bearing children.As for why Mu Feng knew that the other party was strong, when he saw the big knife falling on the side of the skeleton, he knew that it was not light, how could he hold it up and play with it without any strength.

Mu Feng's fingertips suddenly grazed the wall, causing a sharp noise. Mu Feng looked at the shallow scratches made by his nails, and suddenly turned to Mu Yu and said: "Mu Yu died very strangely, his fingers are on the ground. There are many scratches on the wall and the ground, and the death must be miserable, otherwise how much strength a person needs to scratch the wall now."

Mu Yu stared at Mu Feng's back and said: "I think I have already understood that this person probably died of starvation. This secret room is likely to be able to enter but not to exit. We are also in trouble. I hope Luo Ling and Awen can get a little Be clever, I don't know if Mu Cheng knows that the mechanism is on that green brick."

Mu Feng was taken aback when he heard Mu Yu's words, he didn't know it just now, why did he figure it out now, turned around and Mu Feng was dumbfounded, the exit of this secret room was closed so silently, and he squatted down He didn't notice it at all.When the mechanism is turned on, there is still a chirping sound, but when it is turned off, there is no sound at all.

The wood spirit, who was still standing by the well and groping the stone wall trying to find out the mechanism, rushed over after hearing his general's words, but found that the exit of the secret room had already been closed without any gap, and it was impossible to pry it open at all. With the rusty big knife next to the skeleton, the wood spirit slashed at the wall, but there was only a knife mark on the wall, and some stone powder fell off. The surrounding walls are all made of granite, even if it weighs a hundred pounds. Even the steel knife can't be broken.

Mu Ling just swung the knife a few times and was too tired to lift the thick-backed sword. He said anxiously: "General, what should we do? If we can't get out, will we starve to death like these people?"

Mu Yu looked at the anxious Mu Ling and said with a smile: "If we really can't get out, you should eat me first, at least don't be like this skeleton, throwing the meat all over the place to starve to death, Mu Cheng and Luo Ling Awen is outside, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will dig us out."

Mu Ling heard Mu Yu's words and hurriedly said: "If you want to eat, you should eat me first. I have no children and no lover. You all have people who are worried about you to take care of!"

Mu Feng listened to the unnutritive conversation of these two guys and said: "Ah Wen and the others are outside, there is nothing to worry about, they will definitely get us out. Take a closer look at this skeleton and this thick back knife. Why do you think this person should be a brother of our Muha clan, otherwise I have never heard of a brother of that clan in the world who can wield such a heavy thick-backed sword."

After hearing Mu Feng's words, the two of them squatted down to check the skeleton on the ground. Unfortunately, the clothes on the skeleton had already been weathered, making them unrecognizable. There were no other decorations on the skeleton. They picked up the rusty thick-backed sword Mu Yu finally opened his mouth and said: "According to the figure of this person, there is a high probability that he is a brother of our tribe. This thick-backed sword is also a style that was popular in our tribe 40 to [-] years ago. I have seen it in the priests and the patriarch's home."

Mu Feng quickly found a wolf tooth on the phalanx part of the skeleton. This wolf tooth was a token of love that was popular in their tribe decades ago. Will give a lover the fangs of the first wolf they hunted as a young adult.

At this time, the three of them had confirmed that the dead person was their brother of the tribe, and those casually scattered bones were probably killed by this brother. The three of them were silent for a while, with a very heavy heart. Finding a lover outside, there will always be some tragedies. If it is other things, their tribe will seek revenge, but their tribe has always ignored and can't control emotional matters.

When Mu Cheng came back carrying the wooden ladder, he was dumbfounded. He went to the entrance of the secret room, the general, and everyone else. Mu Cheng threw down the wooden ladder and smashed the wall several times. It's a pity. After a while, he didn't hear any sound from behind the wall. If it wasn't for the bones scattered on the ground, Mu Cheng thought that he was dreaming of what happened just now.

Mu Cheng couldn't hear the sound coming from the secret room, but several people in the secret room could clearly hear Mu Cheng's cry and the sound of knocking on the wall. They yelled several times in Mu Ling, but Mu Cheng didn't After reacting, Mu Yu told Mu Ling to save his energy, the sound here probably couldn't be heard outside, maybe they really had to spend some time with these skeletons.

Mu Cheng first pressed the green bricks against the wall, but each of these green bricks was very firm, none of them was as Tang Guo said just now, the bricks would move, and they could be pressed down with one touch.Mu Chengcheng couldn't believe it, even Tang Guo could press a brick, his strength was weaker than Tang Guo's.

Mu Cheng anxiously tried several times, but he couldn't find the moving brick. With a sad face, Mu Cheng could only go to Tang Anwen and Luo Ling to find a way. If he wanted to save the general, he could only find those two people. Yes, he has no problem going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he has already lost his sense of control in the face of these things, and he doesn't know what to do.

Tang Anwen asked Luo Ling if the deputy hall was dirty, and Mufeng and the others needed to close the door and clean it.Luo Ling shook his head and told Tang Anwen that he didn't see it clearly. At that time, the entrance of the secret room was dark, and he seemed to see a few fallen bones. He really didn't notice anything else, so he was pulled out by Mu Yu. .

When Tang Anwen heard about the secret room of bones, he finally understood that Mu Feng and the others closed the door. Those guys probably wanted to prevent them from seeing something bad. There was actually a secret room in that hall. It was magical, and There are also skeletons. Since they are skeletons, there are only bones left. According to Luo Ling, the secret room did not smell bad when it was opened. The secret room should be able to be ventilated, otherwise there will definitely be a strange smell when it is opened. .

Tang Anwen didn't think about those things either, the matter is still unclear, and when Mu Feng comes out, just ask again.

Minutes and seconds passed, and Mr. Chen came over with the stewed goat milk. Luo Ling carefully fed Maomao. He had made great progress in the past few days, and he was able to take care of Maomao very well.Mr. Chen asked Douzi and Guoguo if they wanted goat's milk soup. The two little guys hadn't eaten watermelon just now, so they clamored for goat's milk soup. It would be better to sprinkle some dried fruit. Mr. Chen was very patient. He nodded no matter what he said, everything was ready-made, and it was easy to make, it took about a cup of tea to finish it.

Just after Tang Dou and Guoguo followed Old Chen to the kitchen, Tang Anwen asked Luo Ling to help watch Three Treasures before heading to the side hall.Tang Anwen heard Mu Cheng's flustered voice at the entrance of the vice hall, and then Mu Cheng's footsteps walked out. When Mu Cheng opened the door, Tang Anwen and Mu Cheng bumped into each other.

When Mu Cheng saw Tang Anwen, he immediately dragged Tang Anwen into the side hall, and then told how he found the secret room, how Mu Feng and Mu Yu entered the secret room.The three people in the secret room could hear the sound from the side hall, and they could even hear the sound from the main hall, so Mu Feng suggested that there might be a mechanism to get out in the secret room, but they didn't find out that the dead brother also Nothing was found.

Tang Anwen recalled that Guoguo had bumped into that green brick, and then he pressed hard on the blue brick that Mu Feng had pressed down, but it didn't move at all. Suddenly, Tang Anwen's heart sank, thinking that he would have to open it from the inside. .

Tang Anwen yelled towards the wall: "Mufeng, can you hear my voice? If you hear me, please knock on the wall, knock twice, stop knocking three times, and knock repeatedly. Mu Cheng lay down on the ground and listened. , Do you feel any vibrations?"

Immediately, regardless of whether the people outside the secret room or the people in the secret room held their breath, Mu Feng tapped lightly twice with the thick back knife, paused, and knocked hard three times, and then repeated.

Mu Cheng lay on the ground and felt it carefully. Tang Anwen was not idle either. He also lay on the ground with one ear. He could feel the vibration, but he couldn't distinguish the other.Mu Cheng is different from Tang Anwen, he grew up in the border army, he can feel any disturbance, first there are two slight vibrations, then three more obvious vibrations, as expected, the people in the secret room can hear it.

Mu Cheng raised his head and said: "General Ah Wen and the others can hear our voice, what do you want to say to the general and the others?"

Tang Anwen nodded when he heard it and said: "Mu Feng, it's great that you can hear it. I've tried the mechanism outside, but it didn't work at all. I think the mechanism that opens the secret room must be inside. Look carefully. Where does it look like, such as plates, bottles, flowerpots, etc., you can’t lift it but you can turn it, hurry up and have a look, your torches and lamp oil should not last long, if you still can’t find the mechanism after an hour , then I’m going to demolish the house and dig you out.”

Mu Cheng lay on the ground and listened again, and sure enough there was the same knocking sound as before.

Tang Anwen looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was anxious to death. If he was wrong, he would have to tear down the house overnight and dig the ground. He had to dig out the person within two days, otherwise it would be impossible for a person to go without drinking water for three days. Warp off.

The three of Mu Feng and Mu Yu Muling heard the news from outside, and their hearts were completely chilled, so they began to quickly search for the mechanism. They moved all kinds of porcelain vases and jade on the wooden shelf, and everything that could move. , Wherever there is something protruding, they tried to turn and press, but it took more than half an hour for the three of them to find any mechanism.

Just when the three of them were almost in despair, Mu Feng stepped on a piece of bone with a click, which was very loud for the unusually quiet underground secret room. At this moment, the laughter of Three Treasures suddenly sounded in the secret room, giggling The giggling was very crisp, Mufeng didn't care, and Sanbao's laughter disappeared.

Then the three of them continued to search, every time Mu Feng would inexplicably turn back to that place, and then continue to inexplicably crush a piece of bone. Obviously he paid special attention to his feet, but he would still step on it strangely, and then Sanbao giggled and laughed crisply will appear.

At the beginning, a few people didn't pay attention to it, and Mu Feng also felt that he was in a trance, but after five or six times, the two bones that were close together had been trampled into a mess by Mu Feng.The three of them finally realized that something was wrong. Mufeng and Muyu stood in front of the pile of bones. The two of them were leaning together before they died. Among them, the knife should have been stabbed into the deadly heart on the man's body, but there was not much on the man's body. Obvious scars, after careful observation, it can be seen that there are thin knife wounds everywhere on the other side's bones, Mu Feng and Mu Yu looked at each other and said: "It can't be thousands of knives, right? Hate, even if he is a heartbroken brother, can a brother of our clan be so cruel?"

Mu Feng shook his head and said, "I don't think it's as simple as betraying one's heart. If Ah Wen or Luo Ling were really betraying one's heart, I don't think the two of us would do such a thing. At most, we would beat him up and never bother him."

Mu Yu also nodded, and finally the two suddenly said in unison: "That brother may have searched all the places, but he can't touch these two skeletons, so the exit mechanism must be blocked by these two skeletons. gone."

When Mu Ling heard what the two said, he couldn't care less about respecting the dead, not to mention that the wood wind had almost crushed the bones of the two, and the two must have done something that was very sorry to their tribe's seniors. So if you step on it a few more times, the wood spirits will not feel anything. For the wood spirits that have dragged many dead people on the battlefield, they will not be afraid of these things at all. s things.

Mu Ling kicked away the two skeletons that were close together, exposing the angle between the ground and the wooden cabinet. The three of them searched carefully. The ground was hard and there was no mechanism. Click on the top.As a result, the rung of more than ten centimeters gradually receded. The three of them glanced at each other, finally smiled, and finally found the exit.

The green brick floor under the wooden ladder began to sink, making a chirping sound, and the three of them walked out from the exit.When Tang Anwen saw Mu Feng coming out, he hugged Mu Feng tightly and refused to let go no matter what.Mu Feng had no choice but to take Tang Anwen, and finally said: "Ah Wen, please let go first, I touched the bones just now, and my hands are not clean."

Hearing this, Tang Anwen reluctantly let go. In just half an hour, Tang Anwen felt as if he had been waiting for a thousand years.Mu Yu led Mu Ling and Mu Cheng into the secret room again. They had already taken a wooden box, picked up the skeleton of the elder brother and carefully put it in, and put the wolf tooth back into the skeleton's palm. The wooden box and the knife were placed in the corner of the secret room, waiting for Mu Yu and the others to take this brother back to the tribe for burial when they returned.

The other skeletons were not so lucky. All the skeletons were picked up and put into two baskets. At this time, Mu Ling had already climbed down the ice cellar with the wooden ladder that he was thinking about. Unfortunately, the ice cellar was full of square pieces of ice. There is nothing else, the wood spirit can only climb back to the top, when is it going to move and throw away these ice cubes that have been with the bones for many years, and then make some ice cubes in winter, this courtyard is actually really good .

No matter how many things there are in the secret room, Tang Anwen doesn't care too much, these things are not his, Tang Anwen has never thought of touching dead things, he thinks it is bad luck.He now has a lot of dividends in his hand, enough to support his whole family, and there is still a surplus. Even if there are a few more friends from the Muha clan, Tang Anwen will not be a problem if he asks himself.

Mu Feng and the others got busy. After Mu Yu cleaned up the secret room, Mu Feng smoked the secret room with old camphor trees and wormwood, and then the three of them drove Mu Yu out. The ice cellar was very cold, and Mu Yu gave birth to a child. However, for about half a month, even eating jade ganoderma is not suitable.Therefore, all the cleaning of the ice cellar was done by Mu Cheng, Mu Ling and Mu Feng. Mu Ling and Mu Cheng went down the well in turn, and Mu Feng used a basket to pull ice cubes from above. would be too conspicuous.

Ten days later, most of the ice in the ice cellar had been cleared, and the wood spirit looked at the pieces of gold piled up on the ground stupidly. Yes, it was gold, a piece of gold that was three inches long and one inch wide, and the yellow orange orange could blind people's eyes.Mu Ling didn't continue to clear the ice, he climbed up the ice cellar, and told Mu Feng and Mu Cheng tremblingly that he found a lot of gold down there, and there were tens of thousands of taels, but the two men who moved the ice from the mouth of the well I jumped in surprise.

Tang Anwen heard about this soon, so he ran over to take a look. In the past ten days, Tang Anwen never entered the secret room once. Even those jade and coral ornaments couldn't attract Tang Anwen, but tens of thousands of taels of gold were enough to attract him. Tang Anwen, who told Tang Anwen that he had never seen so much gold in his previous life.

Mu Yu also came down to watch this time, and Mu Feng and the others didn't stop him. Even Mr. Chen at home knew about it, but Luo Ling believed in Mr. Chen very much, and believed that Mr. Chen would never say anything. Live a carefree life.

Mu Yu picked up a piece of gold, and up to this time, everyone didn't pick up the gold to look at it carefully, they just looked at the gold on the ground.Mu Yu looked at the gold, and finally after turning the gold over, he found that the back of the gold had the imprint of their tribe, Mu Yu said softly: "No wonder he wants to kill those people, these people stole the tribe's silver, We finally got it back today."

After hearing this, Mufeng and the others immediately picked up a piece of gold from the ground, turned it over and found a horseshoe print on the back of the gold, which was the imprint of their tribe's gold and silver, such a large amount of gold, the tribe would not give it to others, That means someone stole the Horde's gold.

Tang Anwen flipped through the gold, looked at it, and said with a smile: "If you belong to the tribe, then I'm just happy for nothing. I thought I made it! I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life."

Hearing Tang Anwen's words, several people looked at Tang Anwen with contempt. This guy was indifferent to the treasures in the room above. Could it be that he really fell in love with these golds.Mu Yu grabbed a piece of gold and stuffed it into Tang Anwen's arms, saying: "Whoever sees it has a share, you can keep this piece as a souvenir, and others can also take a piece if they want. The rest will be shipped back to the tribe. Our tribe is not rich now." , The imperial court has not allocated silver for a long time, the gold is enough to make a suit of armor for the warriors in the tribe, and the time for the big battle is coming soon."

When Tang Anwen heard what Mu Yu said, he didn't say anything. He put the gold that Mu Yu had stuffed into his arms back on the ground. , Tang Anwen is already content, people who are too greedy may suffer retribution, just like a family in a secret room.

Mu Yu originally wanted to send Mu Ling back to the tribe to lead people, but Mu Cheng told Mu Yu that his family's Xue Xiao was here, as long as the general wrote a secret letter and reported it back to the tribe, it only took six or seven days for Xue Xiao to fly back and forth. , and it takes at least a month for one person to go back and forth, which saves time and effort, and it is not easy to leak information.

Tang Anwen also expressed some opinions on this matter, the best confidential news, there are many people with mixed opinions, if the gold is robbed, they will not be happy for nothing.Although Tang Anwen was tempted by the gold, he was not greedy, so Mu Yu finally wrote some ideas into the secret letter, hoping that the tribe would send more people over in the name of harvesting various medicines and materials.

Tang Anwen was extremely envious of the snow owl hovering above the courtyard, and kept chasing Mu Cheng how he could raise one. Mu Cheng rolled his eyes, this guy doesn't want gold, but wants a snow owl, unfortunately, this is not suitable for him Xue Xiao lives, he has no way to give Tang Anwen one.

Mu Yu told Tang Anwen that if he wanted Xue Xiao, he could go to their tribe. There was no problem as many as he wanted, and with Tang Anwen's contribution, all the brothers in the tribe could be chosen by Tang Anwen at will, and their tribe would let Tang Anwen live forever. Worry about food and clothing.

When Tang Anwen heard Mu Yu's words, he immediately dismissed his thoughts. He didn't want to be surrounded by a group of brothers, and it might make Mu Feng unhappy. Tang Anwen would not do such a thing that put the cart before the horse.

The reason why he feels uneasy now is that Mu Yu keeps talking about war. If there is a war, it will be very safe to see him here, after all, it is only half a month away from the border.If the barbarians really came, he had heard from Old Chen that the barbarians were very vicious, killing all the men and robbing all the brothers. Tang Anwen was considering whether to move, at least a little farther away from the barbarians.

He also heard from his fourth brother two days ago that he would go to the capital with the Song family in a few days. Maybe he should also be prepared to be able to take the whole family to escape at any time. The capital is about a month away from here. The barbarians are also far away, so that place is safer. Tang Anwen thought that if the border really started a war, he would immediately take his whole family to the capital.
