A knife in love

Chapter 895

Li Qiufeng nodded, only thirty or forty steps away, it was the stone wall.This stone wall is more than a hundred feet high, and you can see the whole picture from a distance, but now you can't see what the top and left and right ends look like when you get close.As far as I can see, the stone wall stands thousands of feet high, the surface is extremely smooth, and the whole body is blue-black at first glance, extending straight to the left and right sides.

The old man in gray walked forward slowly, leaning on a wooden stick.When he was only five or six feet away from the stone wall, Li Qiufeng could already hear footsteps coming from the woods on the left and right.After a while, I saw figures swaying, and three or four men in black came out from the left and right sides.

The gray-clothed old man stopped in his tracks, gasped slightly, leaned on the wooden stick with his right hand, patted his chest with his left hand a few times, sighed, and said in his mouth: "I'm old, I'm old, I can't walk any farther." After walking for a mile, I was a little out of breath."

Those seven or eight black-clothed men came forward, all of them mighty and sturdy, with swords hanging from their waists.The first man in black smiled and said, "Old Gao, where are you going?"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, so the cook's surname is Gao.Judging by the tone of these men in black, they are quite familiar with this old Gao.

Lao Gao said: "The old man wants to eat buns today, I'll go down the mountain and buy some quail."

The man in black said with a smile: "Grandpa, he is really lucky to have you, Lao Gao and Lao Zhang, personally cooking the spoon. Three months ago, we rarely ate a stewed lion head made by you two. It tastes amazing." It’s really unforgettable for a lifetime. Compared with the lion head made by your two elders, even the lion head made by Wang Lao Liu in Baihuaju of Luoyang City is far behind.”

When he said this, he took two quick steps, leaned close to Lao Gao, lowered his voice and said, "Old Gao, I finished wrapping the buns tonight, and I will give you a taste for the two of us, will it work?"

Lao Gao frowned, and said: "Twenty quails can make eight buns, the old man is very clear in his heart. If the number is wrong, the old man will check it out, and we will have to go around without food."

When he said this, seeing the disappointment on the face of the man in black, he smiled slightly and said, "But tonight I'm going to cook another dish of braised chicken in oil, so I might as well make one more and give you a taste."

After the man in black heard this, all the frustration on his face disappeared.He smiled and said: "Thank you very much. To be honest, there are not many people left in the village, so the food is a bit so-so. Grandpa and his old people eat small stoves, so naturally they don't care about it. But we brothers eat it every day. In addition to guarding at the entrance of the village, they also have to patrol around. From morning to night, they have to walk thirty or forty miles. This meal of cabbage and radish buns is unbearable for even a tough man. I thought I would stay in the village. , less the hard work of running around. But the boiled radishes in clear water and the boiled cabbage in salt water made our teeth shake. It’s not as good as those brothers who go down the mountain to work. They eat well and sleep soundly. Lao Gao , we can agree, if there is no braised chicken in oil at night, everyone will not agree."

Old Gao nodded again and again: "I know, I know. When does my old Gao say something that doesn't count? I'm rushing down the mountain right now, and I have to come back before dinner."

The man in black looked delighted, turned his head to the men in black behind him and said, "Open the cave door and let Lao Gao go down the mountain."

The two men in black agreed, turned around and ran quickly towards the stone wall.Li Qiufeng stood behind Lao Gao and peeked out.But the stone wall is extremely smooth, where is there any hole?I saw the two men in black suddenly separated to the left and right when they reached the stone wall, separated by a distance of Zhang Xu, and each pressed hard on a certain place on the stone wall.There was a loud bang, and a hole suddenly opened on the stone wall between the two of them.

When Li Qiufeng was escorted from outside the mountain to Fengmen Village by Nie Dingnan, he once saw Nie Dingnan's men open the hole in the stone wall.It's just that it was night at that time, although there was a torch to illuminate it, it was not very clear.At this time, although the stone wall looks extremely smooth, there are two stone slabs retracted into the stone wall. After a while, a stone cave with a width and a height of several Zhang appeared on the stone wall.The entrance of the cave was pitch black, and bursts of cold air rushed out from the cave.

A group of men in black retreated one after another, as if they were a little afraid of the cold.

Lao Gao smiled and said: "You guys guard this place well, if something goes wrong, the old man will have to take your skin off."

The leader of the man in black smiled and said: "You don't need to say that?! None of us sleep with our eyes open, just in case someone sneaks in..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but glanced at Li Qiufeng, and the smile on his face froze suddenly.He looked Li Qiufeng up and down for a while, and said in his mouth: "This is a bit unfamiliar, which family's brother is he, why have I never seen him before?"

Li Qiufeng saw this man's eyes suddenly became dark, although he was not afraid, he clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand.

But Lao Gao let out a "bah" and said in his mouth: "What did you say that you sleep with your eyes open. Let me ask you, where did you go last night?"

The man in black was stunned, and said: "Of course we are guarding here. It's not like you don't know that the guards at the entrance of the cave used to work every day and night, but the village is short of manpower at the moment, and the fourth uncle has no choice but to let us guard for two days." The shift changes every night. We haven't slept a wink all day and all night, but we're all working hard enough to make sure not a fly can fly over."

Lao Gao sneered: "If you weren't lazy last night, why didn't you see him enter the village?"

The man in black was startled, and said, "He, did he come in last night?"

Lao Gao nodded and said with a smile, "Didn't you see him?"

The man in black shook his head in astonishment.The faces of the rest of the men in black also changed drastically, as if they were very frightened.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, it seems that the old guy surnamed Nie is very strict, these people in black are afraid that they sneaked in, if the old guy surnamed Nie finds out, I'm afraid they will be severely punished.

Seeing the frightened appearance of these men in black, Lao Gao suddenly hit the ground with his stick and made a "duoduo" sound.He only heard him laughing and said: "Last night, Fourth Master Nie went down the mountain to bring him and Lu Laoqi back. Why, didn't you see it?"

As soon as Lao Gao said this, the men in black felt relieved.The man in black at the head said: "Old Gao, you don't have to be so scary when you talk. Of course we know that the fourth uncle went in and out of the cave last night. But the fourth uncle is the head of our Fengmen Village. He opened the stone cave by himself. Naturally, we can’t stop the stone gate of the cave. It’s just that it was dark and we couldn’t see clearly who he was bringing with him.”

Lao Gao was a little impatient, and said in his mouth: "Okay, okay, I won't chat with you anymore. He was sent by Uncle Nie to do some work. After finishing the work, he has to rush back to see Uncle Nie. Just as I was going down the mountain, the old man went to see him. Let him go with me. If you have nothing else to do, let us go down the mountain."

The leader of the man in black hurriedly said: "In this case, you should go quickly, otherwise you will come back late and the old man will scold us again."

Lao Gao led Li Qiufeng to the entrance of the cave, but saw five or six torches hanging on the cave wall.Lao Gao took down one, took out a torch from his pocket, and lit the torch.Following his example, Li Qiufeng also took a torch from the cave wall, and lit the torch with the flame on the torch in the old master's hand.

Holding torches, the two walked into the cave one after the other.The old man said without turning his head as he walked: "Please close the stone gate, the old man's eyes are blurred and he can't see where the mechanism in the cave is."

After the two entered the stone cave, they only heard a loud "cracking" sound, but the two stone doors at the entrance of the cave slowly closed.The inside of the cave suddenly became dim. Although the surrounding situation could be roughly seen clearly by the light of the torch, the light of the torch was limited after all, and he could only see clearly the places three or four steps away.

Li Qiufeng followed behind Lao Gao, carefully recalling the situation when he came.I saw that the stone wall in the cave was uneven, and the ground under my feet was not very flat.He thought to himself, with the strength of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families, it would not be difficult to repair the cave.But why this stone cave is allowed to be so difficult is somewhat strange.Thinking of this, he was about to ask, but he opened his mouth just now, and before he could make a sound, Lao Gao said coldly: "What's the matter, let's talk about it when we get out of this cave."

Li Qiufeng suddenly remembered that before reaching the entrance of the cave, Lao Gao had told him not to speak, and he would handle everything.Seeing his appearance at this time, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.
