Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 356 "Golden Turtle" True Face

The faint scent of child's milk lingered on Yue Zhao's nose, and Mi Jie'er lay in her arms, falling into a drowsy sleep.

Xu Niangzi was doing needlework beside her, and she would fall into a daze from time to time looking at Mi Jieer's appearance.

In fact, she and Yuezhao also want a child.

Especially after returning to their hometown of Wuling, their thoughts became more and more intense.

The newly purchased house in Wuling by the Zhang family is extremely large, and it was the original main house of the Song family.

In the main courtyard, Meng Xiaowan wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, thinking that the autumn heat in September is still so annoying.She is discussing matters with Mother Chen and Nanny Hu.

"Our family's asking price has never been higher. In Wuling, paddy fields per mu used to be ten guan, the highest was twelve guan. Our asking price of 7000 guan and [-] guan, they sold very well. This month We have already acquired more than [-] mu, and there are nine Zhuangzi in total. The people in charge of the Zhuangzi are all members of the Zhang family, and they all remember the big lady’s instructions and don’t make it public,” Hu Nanny reported to Meng Xiaowan on the farm She tilted her head to see Bai Ying, and smiled, "The seven hundred acres of orchard under the market a few days ago was taken over by the Huang family's Cotinus cotinus. I heard that he is careful and will not delay the errand. .”

In fact, these candidates were finalized by Meng Xiaowan, and the reason Hu Nanny was "talking nonsense" here was because Meng Xiaowan wanted to use Hu Nanny's mouth to get Bai Ying to tell her father that she should be more honest when doing things for the family.

"Have the fields of the servants' homes been settled?" After Madam Hu replied, Meng Xiaowan looked at Mama Chen again.

"If you go back to the eldest lady, it has already been divided. Five or six families are old servants, and the most divided. Liuzhuang near Taowan bought 180 acres of paddy fields and [-] acres of dry land, but the three of them are at home. If there is an errand, let the family take care of the land together. Geng Liang’s girl is going to school with the young lady of the hall, and his old mother can’t count, and his family’s [-] acres of land are also handed over to the family. Xie Lun’s family and Gao Deshu The family’s land is two hundred acres, and their wives are all from our village, and they also know the land, so they take care of it themselves.” When Mother Chen said this, she had a smile, “Xiao Zhao shared it equally. [-] acres, and now the family is about to fight, and the old Zhaotou insists on planting the fields by himself. Little Zhaoping can't stop him at all. Tiao Zheng is looking for him everywhere!"

Everyone in the room laughed when he said this.

Meng Xiaowan smiled lightly, and then asked Mother Chen: "Because of his achievements in Jinling, old Leitou was also promoted by his husband as a servant. Why is there no him this time?"

"Where would there be without him?" Mother Chen smiled, "It's just that he is from Xiushan, and Mr. Lang gave his land to Xiushan. His son and grandson are there, let them take care of themselves Well. Old Leitou is now in charge of the dozen or so pregnant horses on the side of Wuliu Mountain, and he only lives with those horses every day."

Only then did Meng Xiaowan nod her head, and lightly pressed the center of her brow.

Seeing this, Mother Chen called Bai Lu out, and Nanny Hu came to Meng Xiaowan's side and began to whisper back in her ear.

"The old slave has seen Li Xiaoniang's figure, and she is indeed a girl. Among Xu Xiaoniang's servants, there are also my people. They all say that our husband only eats wine and listens to the piano with the two young ladies on weekdays. It's dark now. Go back to the study and sleep."

Meng Xiaowan closed her eyes and pressed her eyebrows, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

After Mother Chen and Nanny Hu left, Meng Xiaowan got up and went to the back room. The key opened a private box. Opaque skirt.

When Zhang Zhe returned home, the sun was already setting, and dinner was still served on the boat.

"The ruins are almost cleared up," Zhang Zhe told Qianxiu in a low voice before returning to the room, "We will go to the back mountain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we won't be back for a few days, just check all the things you use on the way One time, don't miss it."

Ganxiu is not a talkative person, so he just nodded and went to the warehouse again.

When Zhang Zhe walked into the main room, he realized something was wrong.The autumn heat in September was severe, but all the screen windows in the room were closed, only the lady was reclining on the bamboo and wood beauty couch in the room, and none of the egrets around her were missing.

"Husband, please close the door!"

Zhang Zhe was a little puzzled, but he did as he said. As soon as he turned around, he felt his nose was hot, and his eyeballs almost fell out.

He took a few steps forward and hugged his wife in his arms, and bursts of hot air sprayed on Meng Xiaowan's face and neck, making Meng Xiaowan's face turn red with embarrassment.

"Baisi~! My lady is so elegant~!"

On the second day, Zhang Zhe boarded the boat with his waist supported.

Zhang Sanqi and Geng Liang on the boat have been waiting for a long time, this time they will go to the lane behind the Wuliuguan ruins, and it may take several days to go back and forth.

A group of servants on the shore escorted Meng Xiaowan to see him off. Ten-month-old Miss Mi saw her father get on the boat, so she kept waving her little hands in the direction of her father.

When the boat left the shore, Sister Mi, who was closest to Zhang Zhe on weekdays, was in a hurry and burst into tears, calling out the word "Daddy" for the first time in her life.

The crisp and milky "Daddy" made Zhang Zhe so happy that he almost jumped into the water and swam back, but fortunately Geng Liang grabbed him.

On the shore, Meng Xiaowan moved and angrily took Miss Mi from Xu Niangzi's hand, and nodded her forehead hard.

"Everyone knows how to call mother first, but you call father first!"

Sister Mi was puzzled, thinking that her mother was teasing her, so she cheerfully said "Father" along with her.

Meng Xiaowan was very angry, she smiled and pinched the child's little face lightly.

"Come on, call me mother~!"

Sister Mi clapped her little hands and smiled: "Father~~Dad~!"

"My mother~!"

"father?"

"mother!"

"Eh!"

Sister Mi nodded solemnly, expressing that she had succumbed to her mother's despotic power, but this "ah" just happened to get stuck behind "mother", which made Meng Xiaowan really angry, this little thing!
Yuezhao and the others laughed together.

The boat sailed for half a day before arriving at the foot of the Wuliuguan ruins.

On the ruins of Wuliu Temple, Zhang Zhe's soldiers had already set up four or five tents and were patrolling the mountain.

Zhang Zhe had already bought over a thousand acres of forest at the former site of Wuliu Temple from Taolin County.All the [-] soldiers he selected and redeemed from Zhaoyang officials and servants were arranged here.

This is the only way to the "Golden Turtle Island" that the old Taoist said.

Zhang Zhe and his party made some repairs on the top of the mountain, then followed Qingzheng and Ganxiu to the bottom of the two boulders behind the ruins, where there was a cave covered by vines.

Among the group were Zhang Zhe himself, Zhang Sanqi, Geng Liang, Gao Deshu, Qingzheng Laodao, Ganxiu and 21 other soldiers, totaling [-] people.Xie Lun took fifteen other guards stationed on the top of the hill to prevent anyone from entering here by mistake.

The road at the beginning of the cave is very narrow and can only accommodate one person walking sideways.After walking a distance of seven or eight feet, the cave body gradually became wider after turning a bend, and the widest part could accommodate three people walking side by side.

There is no longer any external light in the cave here, and the lighting depends entirely on the torches in the hands of everyone.

The cave was winding and long. Under the leadership of Ganxiu, a group of people walked for more than a mile in a crooked way, with several forks in the middle.

Then they came to a natural stone room with a radius of four feet and a height of half a foot. There was a passage on each side of this stone room leading to a dark unknown place.But Ganxiu went straight to a half-foot-high stone beam on one side, and climbed up it with ease.

It turns out that the correct path is above the stone beam!
Everyone pulled each other up to the stone beam. This is a cave where you can only walk forward with your waist bent.Everyone hunched forward for a distance of three or four feet, and the height of the cave became higher.

Walking along the cave for more than two miles, Zhang Zhe glanced at the change of the aneroid barometer in his hand, and found that the altitude was 26 meters lower than before entering the cave.The compass on the other hand showed that their general heading was toward the northwest.

At the end of this karst cave passage is a huge pit with a depth of twenty feet.Zhang Zhe threw a torch into the pit, and the light of the fire drew a trail in the air. Only then did everyone discover that the diameter of the pit was about 20 feet, and the surface of the pit was full of large and small stone holes.

Under the leadership of Ganxiu, they walked halfway to the height of the pit, and got into a seemingly featureless stone cave.

The path in this cave has a steep slope, about 60 degrees.

After zigzagging for another stick of incense, passing through three forks, this time they came to another huge underground space door.

"Everyone, don't make a sound. The top of this cave is full of bats. Be careful where you step, follow my footsteps, don't step on bat feces, and don't step on the snake path!" Qingzheng and old-fashioned, he greeted everyone in a low voice, and walked into the huge underground space with a torch first.

The slight sound of flapping wings rose and fell one after another above the dark head, and bursts of rustling sounds filled the entire space, making people's skin crawl.

The old Taoist did not lead everyone to walk directly below the space, but stepped on the cave wall with a not too steep slope, and walked slowly forward step by step while holding the cave wall with his left hand.

Zhang Zhe took a look at the "road" under his feet. It was actually a gentle slope of about a foot between the cave wall and the ground at the bottom of the cave.And the lower part of the gentle slope is all dark ground at the bottom of the cave. Even if the light of the torch shines on it, there is no stone reflection on the ground.

Bat feces were piled up on the ground, and I don't know how deep it was.

With so many bats gathering here, it is naturally an excellent hunting ground for snakes.According to the old Taoist, there are snake nests everywhere on the not-so-steep stone beams on both sides of the cave.

Before setting off, a layer of pungent sulfur powder and garlic water was applied to the coats of Zhang Zhe and others, which are extremely resistant to snakes that use their tongues to sense molecules in the air to detect prey and the environment s things.

After passing this cave, there are a series of small caves ahead, and almost every cave has a part of an unfathomable underground river, and ripples appear on the gentle water from time to time.

Geng Hao stretched out the torch curiously to have a look, and suddenly goosebumps jumped all over his body.

Where are the "ripples"? It is clear that tens of thousands of water striders (similar to giant mosquitoes, insects that live on the water surface) are crowded on the water surface. The so-called "ripples" are nothing but these water striders feeding on the water A species of tiny krill that crowd each other.

"No wonder there are so many bats!" Everyone tried to stay away from the water as far as possible, and continued to move forward.

After walking for more than an hour, Zhang Zhe and the others came to a cave without water marks to rest for a stick of incense, and took turns to eat dry food to replenish their strength.

Zhang Zhe glanced at the aneroid barometer again. The altitude here was actually seven or eight meters lower than the water outside the cave, and the compass showed that although they turned around, they were still heading northwest.

"Qingzheng, how long did it take for Wuliu Temple to find this road?"

Seeing "Master Uncle" asking questions, Qingzheng naturally has nothing to hide.

"35 years! It was the second-generation patriarch. He cut firewood in the back mountain when he was young. He hid in this cave to avoid the pursuit of two mountain wolves. He ran all the way, and the mountain wolves chased him all the way until he climbed the first road. The stone beam escaped the catastrophe. Later, when the second-generation patriarch grew up, he invited his brothers to start exploring from that stone beam. Until the second-generation patriarch inherited the mantle of the first-generation patriarch, this cave became a tourist attraction. The place where the middle school disciples practice courage. One of the three generations of disciples lost his way, and he was so tired that he went into the cave to look for him. After searching for seven or eight days, he was found by the second generation patriarch."

Everyone sighed for a while when they heard this, if it wasn't for the luck of the second generation patriarch of Wuliuguan, who happened to walk the right path during the escape, and found the stone beam in the dark, no one would be able to find the right path.

After resting, we continued on our way.

This time, they walked through a tunnel formed by extremely long underground cracks. They took two breaks along the way, and it took them more than two hours to reach a place with a clean underground water source.

It is more than 200 meters lower than the water surface outside, and the temperature is close to [-] degrees.

They are camping here tonight.

There is no light or darkness in the cave that represents the time. Zhang Zhe used his mobile phone to set the vibration, and got up at six o'clock in the morning.After everyone got up, they ate breakfast quietly, and stayed until about ten o'clock before continuing to set off.It was Zhang Zhe who proposed to start again at ten o'clock, in order to keep the few people on duty in the middle of the night stunned for a while longer.

The crowd meandered all the way down again, and ate dry food on the way. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, they walked into a super huge cave with a height of [-] meters.

This is a place equivalent to buying 500 meters underwater. Everyone has taken off their shirts and is sweating all over. The temperature here must be 35 to [-] degrees.

A huge silver metal wall appeared in the rock body opposite the cave, and the height of this metal wall exposed outside the rock body was more than 20 feet.

Everyone was so shocked by this scene that they couldn't speak!
And Zhang Zhe just saw the bright national flag on the metal "wall" at a glance!
The two huge fonts are on the top of the metal "wall", but the word "Golden Turtle" is written from left to right. Zhang Zhe guessed that there should be a "number" hidden in the rock body, and this " The word "number" is still simplified!
This is definitely a product from Zhang Zhe's time and space!And it is a product from his future in time and space!Just looking at the shape of the exposed part of the rock mass, Zhang Zhe knew that this was not a giant ship sailing in the ocean, but a huge aircraft facing the sea of ​​stars!
