Chapter 31 Exploring the wrong secret in the study
Although he said that he believed in Shan Baoqian, Shan Xiaowu couldn't help sneaking out of Mr. Shan's study a little later, and was ready to ask her father in person to verify whether the news was true, so that he would not be happy.
I looked at the window of the study and didn't see anyone. I thought it was Mr. Shan who was still having dinner at this time. Shan Xiaowu was not in a hurry. His eyes turned around, and then he smiled, pushed open the window and climbed in. He pulled a book from the bookshelf and habitually hid under the desk. He planned to surprise Master Shan later. Hi.
It's getting dark. Before Master Shan came, Mr. Shan Xiaowu, who was hiding under the table, yawned a lot. Because the light was getting darker and darker, it was impossible to read a book, so he closed the page and was ready to climb outside. The original mood of wanting to play pranks had drifted to the sky.
"I really don't know what my father is doing..." Shan Xiaowu muttered and threw the book casually, with his hands around his chest and legs bent his head out.
It's strange. At this time, her father has already come to the study to read the account book. Why is it this time today but he hasn't seen anyone?
I was about to open the tablecloth and go outside, but suddenly there was a familiar sound of footsteps in my ear. From far to near, with the blurred light of the lantern, you can see the two figures reflected on the door, and then the door opened with a squeak.
Shan Xiaowu was shocked. He quickly put the tablecloth back and squatted again. He dared not breathe. Suddenly, the feeling of being a thief was very strong.
One of them walked towards the desk. Shan Xiaowu only heard a gentle friction, and then the room lit up. Obviously, the man had just lit the oil lamp.
"Master, I'll go down first." After extinguishing the fire, Shan Fu retreated to one side and said to Master Dan.
"Go down." Master Shan's voice followed. Unexpectedly, it was not the old tone that Shan Xiaowu was familiar with, and it seemed rare and serious. "Look at the door, don't let anyone in, especially Miss, you know?"
Miss?
Shan Xiaowu was stunned. What her father said was the young lady... Isn't it her?
It seems that Shanfu is the only young lady like her.
"Yes, I know." Shan Fu bowed, exited the door, and closed the door board by the way.
Shan Xiaowu even heard the sound of Master Shan personally slit the door, and now her curiosity was completely aroused.
What on earth is worthy of her father's protection so tightly?
This is very interesting.
He secretly lifted a foot on the tablecloth, but he happened to see Master Shan coming to take the kerosene lamp, then went to the bookshelf on the left, took away the bottommost vase, and squatted down without knowing what he had done.
In a short time, the bookshelf moved away from both sides, revealing the stone wall behind it. Shan Xiaowu's eyes widened in surprise. It turned out that there was really a mechanism in the room, and it was hidden so deep. No wonder she always returned without success when she was a child.
He did not find that his every move was being monitored. Master Shan walked to the stone wall and reached out and pressed on one of the inconspicuous stones. The wall quickly opened from the center, cracking a dark passage that only one person could pass through.
Master Shan carefully looked back and left and right, and then walked into the passage with the kerosene lamp. After he entered, the cracks in the stone wall closed, and even the bookshelves were slowly re-lined.
Without the kerosene lamp, the study immediately darkened.
When her eyes adapted to the darkness, Shan Xiaowu immediately climbed out from under the table. Because Shan Fu was still guarding outside, she did not dare to fold with fire. She was afraid of being suspicious, so she could only half groped and walk to the side of the bookshelf.
"At the right time, it's developed." He naggedly touched the edge of the bookshelf and went to the place where Master Shan had just squatted. Shan Xiaowu knelt on the ground, took out the night pearl he carried with him from his sleeve and put it aside for lighting. Then he reached out and took the vase away, revealing the flat and smooth wooden board below. Obviously, there was no trace of mechanism.
In normal times, Shan Xiaowu would have given up leaving immediately, but she had just witnessed Master Shan's behavior of opening the bookshelf. At this time, she absolutely did not believe that there was nothing strange under the vase.
He reached out and touched the board without any gap, so Shan Xiaowu explored his hand further, and finally touched a small thing similar to a pull ring near the root of the wall.
As his eyes lit up, Shan Xiaowu stretched out a finger to pick the pull ring and pulled it up vigorously.
With only a click, the bookshelf vibrated, and then slowly separated to both sides as seen just now.
He laughed three times in his heart. Shan Xiaowu picked up Ye Mingzhu and came to the stone wall with a proud face. He learned from Master Shan and clicked down on the raised stone with his fingers. The passage opened by Master Shan appeared on the stone wall.
I didn't expect that my father would have such a secret base. Tut, he was still hiding and not showing it to her. It's too unkind.
"You still won't let me in, hum, I think who can stop me now~~"
With a cheer in his heart, Shan Xiaowu held the night pearl high and carefully stepped into the passage.
I don't know if it's Dad's private treasure house. If it's true, she won't have to worry about it next time she doesn't have money.
After Shan Xiaowu entered, Shimen immediately closed it with a bang. A woman subconsciously straightened her waist and back. Although she was prepared, she was still a little shocked.
The passage is very dark. Although it is summer, it is not sultry inside. On the contrary, there is a seemingly cool breeze around the body, which makes the heat disappear a lot at once.
Lifting the night pearl to the front, with cold light, I can barely see that the front is a downward ladder.
Carefully leaned against the wall step by step, and walked for about two minutes. Suddenly, an orange fire appeared at the end of the ladder. After listening carefully, it seemed that you could still hear a small voice, as if a rat whispered when it came out to steal in the middle of the night.
Taking Ye Mingzhu back into the bag, Shan Xiaowu slowed down and quietly leaned over.
"... After so many years,... still unsatisfied and want to pursue... whereabouts, trying to use... to solve disputes, but Wan'er has... alas,... on other people's territory, if... deliberately fall..., it must be difficult..., big brother, if you are here, what will you do...?"
Master Shan's voice is intermittent with the candlelight. Because Shan Xiaowu is slow, he can only barely hear a little, and there is no way to piece it together.
It seems that Dad is talking to people, although it's more like talking to himself.
Biting his lips and thinking about it, Shan Xiaowu put his hand against the wall and carefully poked his head out.
What you see is a spacious stone room, about half the size of their hall. There is no single small five imaginary room full of gold, silver and jewelry. Instead, the wall inside is decorated with a few night pearls, and there is a long supply table near the wall, with four spiritual positions, one big and three small, in front of the spiritual position. There were also more than ten pillars of light incense, and the curling white smoke rose up, covering the whole stone room in a piece of sandalwood.
Master Shan stood at the table. When he bent down and knelt down, Shan Xiaowu narrowed his eyes. Because the light was not too bright, and she was far away, he could only barely see a few big words written on the largest spiritual position in the middle: the spiritual position of the eldest brother Li Fangyuan.
"Li Fangyuan?" Shan Xiaowu muttered in a low voice, "Why have you never heard Dad mention... Who is he?"
It's the eldest brother who heard her father shout at the spiritual position. Is it her uncle? But after all, it's different surnames. Isn't it a relationship between brothers and brothers-in-law?
If it's a biological brother... But aren't all her ancestors in the Buddhist hall? Who is this sudden extra big brother surnamed Li? Why did her father deliberately hide it from her? Did you even move the man's spirit into the secret room?
It's really suspicious, suspicious, too suspicious.
In addition, Wan'er in my father's mouth is still a bowl. Who is she? Is it also one of the other three spiritual positions above?
Shan Xiaowu leaned more than half of his body outside the channel and tried his best to stretch his neck to see the names on the other three spiritual positions, but he forgot that his nose was allergic to strong sandalwood. The consequence of getting too close was that the goal was not achieved, but he couldn't help sneezing shockingly.
"Ah sneeze!"
"Who!"
Master Shan was shocked. When he heard the voice, he immediately turned around and asked with a vigilant face. His eyes fell on Shan Xiaowu, who was bending down on the wall and wiping his nose. Immediately, his whole face turned green, "Yuanbao?!"
"Hi, Dad..." He was caught on the spot. Shan Xiaowu waved his claws awkwardly, and kept talking in his heart. Buddha Buddha Guanyin Bodhisattva Jade Emperor Sun Dasheng, King of Yanluo, all kinds of demons and monsters are good. Who will let her know immediately, Ami Tofu!
"Why are you here?" Master Shan stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Shan Xiaowu's arm and asked sternly. The consterrension just now had disappeared.
Sand Xiaowu sucked his nose and hit his nose heavily, "Yes, yes, why am I here? It's really strange..."
"This is not the place where you should come. Go quickly," Mr. Shan changed his usual indulgence to Shan Xiaowu and pushed her out vigorously. "Get out of here quickly, and forget everything here."
"Oh," Shan Xiaowu was pushed away with no ability to resist, but after thinking for a while, he still turned around to look at the cards on the table. "Dad, who is that Li Fangyuan? My uncle?"
Master Shan trembled violently, and then pushed Shan Xiaowu harder, "Shut up, don't ask anything again!" Get out of here!"
"Why are you so fierce..." Since he was born, his father has always looked like a kind and rich man. When did Shan Xiaowu, who has been favored by three thousand, let Master Shan drink so harshly? I'm also a little confused now.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Master Shan looked angry and raised his hand to play single Xiaowu, but after all, he was reluctant to fight. "Don't let you ask you that you didn't hear anything, right?"
"I..." Shan Xiaowu hasn't said a complete sentence,
Master Shan has turned his back, stretched out his finger to the door, and shouted, "Go back to my room immediately. Don't say anything, or you'll wait to get out of this house!"
Get out of this house?! He asked her to get out of the house?
Shan Xiaowu's eyes widened, and his eyes began to turn red. So this is what the second brother said. Does his father also agree with the reason why she left this house?
"Okay, get out of here!"
He gritted his teeth and endured to prevent tears from falling. Shan Xiaowu took a deep breath and straightened his back and walked up the stairs stubbornly. With a kind of anger, Mingzhu didn't have to do it even night. He quickly walked out of the passage and ran to his yard crazily after leaving the secret room.
"Alas," after Shan Xiaowu left, the secret room was calm again. After a long time, Master Shan sighed as if he was a few years old. He stepped forward, looked at the spiritual position on the table, and said to himself, "Yuanbao, Yuanbao, I hope you reckless girl, can understand my father's painstaking efforts one day... "
