One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 498 Despicable Self

Mei Heng held a torch to illuminate a stone gate in the shadows.

The people behind them were still crossing the river, and they didn't know what was going on in front of them at the moment, nor did they notice their movements.

The Shimen didn't fit perfectly, but it took too long, and the dust blocked all the gaps. Mei Heng stretched out his hand to push it, alarming the dust in the room.

While waving his hand to block it, he stepped back again and again, waving his hand to let the people around him push the door.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi was a little surprised.

"Don't you need a trap and a key?"

Mei Heng had already retreated to Yan Qingzhi's side. Hearing this, he shook his head.

"No need! But there is a mechanism in it, I don't know what it is."

Mei Heng's ability has too many side effects, so I dare not use it casually here.

Yan Qingzhi's face was a little worried, and he approached Mei Heng without a trace. If Mei Heng had an accident here, Yan Qingzhi still hoped to help him.

Mei Heng held the torch and turned her head slightly to see Yan Qingzhi's ears and the outline of her face.

Mei Heng didn't care about life and death for a long time, and he understood when he embarked on this road.

He dragged Yan Qingzhi with his death calamity and covered up the space affairs, but Mei Heng hated such a despicable self in his heart!
This was the only time he didn't feel complacent about playing people between his palms, only the suffocation that seemed to be choked by someone in the dark.

He's luckier than most, but he still doesn't get what he wants.

The life he wants, the peace he wants... Even his life doesn't belong to him.

Mei Heng also thought about it before, does the world need God?
But there has never been such a desire for a result in this moment.

Is the demise of the Mei family really just because of the greed of the Feng family?

No one can answer this question, but Mei Heng's biological mother, grandmother, and members of the Mei family... are all working hard for this.

He was arranged from the moment he was born.

I haven't lived a free day, and I'm working hard for Mei's every moment, every minute, every second.

They all seemed to be born for the Mei family, but Mei Heng felt that they were all slaves of the Mei family, and the power of the gods locked them tightly, from their bodies to their destiny.

Mei Heng's eyes hidden in the shadows revealed many emotions.

Yan Qingzhi was the soul of another world, and Mei Heng knew it for a long time.

In other words, Yan Qingzhi came here because of him.

At that time, Mei Heng resented Yan Qingzhi's sister and brother, because of their arrival, they took away his biological mother.

But now, Mei Heng felt guilty.

It's not that he couldn't say some things, but he didn't dare to say that his despicable, selfish, dark and snobbish views and perspectives made it not worth letting Mei Heng replace Yan Qingzhi.

He watched Yan Qingzhi follow the trajectory of fate step by step to where he wanted the other party to go.

He knew in his heart that Yan Qingzhi was not stupid, he must have guessed it long ago.

But in his selfishness, he was reluctant to tell the problem thoroughly, he lied to himself, all this was for the Mei family.

But in fact, he was afraid that Yan Qingzhi would go on a different path with him.

People are sometimes very strange. Longing for a life is as unreasonable as liking a person.

Mei Heng never dared to think about what kind of life he longed for, because once an idea arises, it will no longer be controlled by the master.

He never dared to imagine that he would one day have an unspeakable relationship.

Because all feelings will become roadblocks in front of him.

He didn't dare to stop, he didn't dare to think, he was as smart as he was, and he didn't dare to face himself.

Emotions are only a part of Mei Heng's life. What Mei Heng dare not face is his possibly meaningless life and the fact that he has sacrificed everything for such a life.

Yan Qingzhi felt something, turned her head slightly, and the dim firelight illuminated the outline of her side face.

"They can't push it away like this!"

She whispered her judgment to Mei Heng, but Mei Heng was distracted and didn't fully understand her words. She was stunned for a while before she regained her senses. When she regained her senses, she saw that Yan Qingzhi had turned her head, clear and clear. His eyes were staring at him, as if to discern Mei Heng's true intentions.

Does Mei Heng want these people to open the door, or does he not want these people to open the door! ?

For the first time, panic flashed in Mei Heng's eyes, and the real Yan Qingzhi couldn't believe it.

Mei Heng retracted his gaze, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and asked Yan Qingzhi again by the way.

"What did you just say?"

Yan Qingzhi sighed, only when he was too distracted by the death calamity, he ignored the situation around him.

"I said, they can't open that door like this! They don't have the strength and may need some tools."

Mei Heng retracted his attention and nodded casually.

"Okay, but don't get too close."

Yan Qingzhi frowned.

"I'm very good at reaching out, and I can be the first to react if I encounter something."

After she explained a sentence, she took out a wooden stick and walked to the stone door.

The people standing on both sides pushing the door saw her coming and blocked her way for the first time.

"Miss Yan, we'll be fine here!"

It was a girl in her 20s who spoke, and the journey had been very quiet, and it was the first time she had said anything to Yan Qingzhi other than words like 'good' and 'thank you'.

Yan Qingzhi told them about the situation.

"You can't push it like this. You can insert a wooden stick into the gap and try to pry the stone door..."

When the girl heard Yan Qingzhi's words, she hesitated slightly, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but she nodded immediately and took the wooden stick.

"it is good!"

Yan Qingzhi followed.

"Need my help? My strength..."

The girl immediately shook her head.

"No need, just protect yourself, Miss Yan!"

After finishing speaking, she took the stick and walked to the front, took out the long sword, shoveled out the dust in the gap, and stuffed the wooden stick inside.

The stick was stuck on the stone wall, and then a fulcrum, three or four people moved the stick together, and soon a creaking sound came.

The sky is full of dust, flying in all directions.

Yan Qingzhi carefully stared at the situation inside the door. She wanted to save people as soon as possible when danger came.

The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and many people have pushed the stone door hard, and the dust has fallen, and light is gradually showing behind the stone door.

The light became brighter as the gap between the stone doors opened.

Yan Qingzhi's body was tense and she was ready to go, but until the stone gate opened, she had no chance to do it.

Inside the stone gate is a long and narrow square, with a row of copper cars neatly parked inside.

The copper chariot does not need horses to pull it, and the place where the horse is tied in front of it is also a reel.

This is somewhat like a tricycle in later generations, but the structure of the carriage behind it is more in line with the current era.
