In the morning, Li Changtian woke up early.
The attic is built on a cliff, and in the early morning there is mist, birds chirping and monkeys chirping, and the wind is biting.
In a daze, Li Changtian wanted to turn over, but found that he couldn't move.
He opened his eyes and saw that he was being embraced by Yan Shu.
"Oh..." Li Changtian remembered something in a daze.
Yan Shu is now imprisoned in his room, and there is only one bed in this wing, so the two have to sleep together at night.
But Li Changtian remembered that when he was sleeping last night, he and Yan Shu were clearly back-to-back. How could he be in Yan Shu's arms when he woke up in the morning
Probably because I moved around after sleeping soundly yesterday, squeezing Yan Shu.
Li Changtian yawned, remembering that he still had things to do today, so he carefully removed Yan Shu's hand around his waist, and prepared to get out of bed.
Unexpectedly, just as he moved to the side of the bed, Yan Shu opened his eyes.
"Ah..." Li Changtian met his eyes, "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Do you have something to leave?" Yan Shu asked.
"Well, there's something wrong." Li Changtian got up and got off the bed, and began to wash and dress.
He had just finished grooming when a deaf-mute servant brought breakfast. Li Changtian put porridge and side dishes on the table and called Yan Shu to get up and eat.
Yan Shu's fever has subsided now, and his energy is obviously much better than yesterday.
The two of them had breakfast together, when Li Changtian suddenly remembered something, he bit his chopsticks subconsciously because of his guilty conscience, thinking with a embarrassed expression on his face.
Yan Shu glanced at Li Changtian, guessing his thoughts: "Where is the cartilage pill?"
"Ah..." Li Changtian didn't expect Yan Shu to bring it up, he was startled, and stared at Yan Shu.
Yan Shu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said in a calm tone, "You once said that if you refuse to take the cartilage pills, you will be imprisoned again for torture. If so, I'll just take the cartilage pills."
Seeing that Yan Shu was not only not angry, but also took the initiative to mention it, Li Changtian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the porcelain bottle containing the medicine, poured a pill into the palm of his hand, still hesitated: "Then...then..."
Yan Shu reached out and took the pill in Li Changtian's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it lightly.
Li Changtian didn't know what to say for a while, he thought for a long time, and choked out a sentence: "You, don't worry, you have a good rest..."
Yan Shu nodded, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued to have breakfast.
Li Changtian was full, so he told Yan Shu that you can rest assured, then he got up and walked out of the wing.
Li Changtian held Li Qiushui's token, and the guards guarding the door did not stop him from leaving. Li Changtian took two steps outside, then stepped back, and asked one of the guards with a smile: "Well, brother, may I ask, Lin Yuan Which attic is the attic?"
-
After Li Changtian asked, he found out that Linyuan Pavilion is a small pavilion behind the attic where he lives.
Li Changtian didn't ask for directions, he climbed the white jade stone steps in front of the attic for a long time, searched carefully for a long time, and finally found the stone step path leading to Linyuan Pavilion.
He came to the place the man in black said yesterday.
Linyuan Pavilion, on the right side of the attic, ten meters away from the attic, is…
It's a cliff.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Li Changtian felt that the wall stood a thousand feet high, and the mountain wind was howling. If he didn't pay attention, he would fall down and be smashed to pieces.
Li Changtian couldn't help feeling strange.
What did the man in black ask him to come here yesterday
If it's not a reminder, it's cheating.
But Li Changtian really couldn't see what kind of deceit could be played in this kind of place.
The man in black must not be teasing himself, right
Li Changtian stood on the edge of the cliff, propped his chin with one hand, thought for a while, then leaned out and took a look at the bottom of the cliff.
In the early morning, the mountains were surrounded by white mist, and Li Changtian couldn't see anything under the cliff at all. He could only see a pine and cypress hanging upside down on the cliff about fifteen meters away from him.
Li Changtian leaned half his body out of the cliff, hanging there, precarious.
He looked at it for a while, but still didn't see why, so he had to shrink back.
Li Changtian looked around and saw a tree one meter away that could be hugged by one person.
Is there something wrong with this tree
Li Changtian approached the big tree, circled the tree back and forth, knocked on the trunk, and looked up at the crown of the tree carefully.
This is clearly just an ordinary tree.
Li Changtian walked to the edge of the cliff again and glanced down.
As the sun rose, the fog dissipated a lot, but because the cliff was too high, it was still difficult to see the bottom of the cliff, but the upside-down pine and cypress tree was much clearer than before, and even the vines and leaves wrapped around it could be seen now. The Almighty saw.
It's a pity that no matter how you can see it clearly, it is just a pine and cypress wrapped around vines.
Li Changtian showed disappointment, and was about to retract his body.
suddenly!
He saw something a little unusual.
He saw that the vines on the pines and cypresses had been blown towards the cliff wall by the wind, instead of swaying back and forth from side to side.
An idea suddenly popped into Li Changtian's mind,
Li Changtian hurriedly left this place, relying on Li Qiushui's token to leave Tianque Villa, and did not return until the dead of night.
When he came back, he had an extra cloth wrapped around him.
When passing the wooden trestle bridge, Li Changtian was searched by the guards even though he had Li Qiushui's token.
The guards found nothing unusual, and Li Changtian left smoothly.
Li Changtian carried the cloth package back to the house, and the next morning, regardless of Yan Shu's suspicious gaze, he went out early again.
He came to the edge of the cliff on the right side of Linyuan Pavilion and opened the cloth package.
Inside are two extremely strong and thick hemp ropes about twenty meters long.
Li Changtian tightly tied one end of the two ropes to the tree trunk, tied one of the ropes around his waist, and threw the other rope down the cliff.
Li Changtian's movements were extremely fast, he knew that there might be patrolling guards passing by.
Everything was ready, Li Changtian took a deep breath, grasped the rope tightly, stepped on the cliff wall, and slowly swung down.
There is an abyss beneath your feet, and if you are not careful, the consequences are unimaginable, but Li Changtian is not afraid at all, and he slides down the cliff tens of meters with the help of a rope skillfully and lightly, and slowly reaches the upside-down pine and cypress.
Li Changtian looked down, his eyes lit up immediately.
Near the pines and cypresses, there is a cave that is just big enough for one person to enter!
No wonder the wind was blowing the leaves of the vine in such a strange direction before!
Li Changtian took a deep breath, kicked off the cliff, and then threw himself into the cave with his strength.
He covered his head and rolled on the ground twice, then stood up steadily.
The cave was dark and dark, like a monster's abyss, and Li Changtian could feel the chilly wind piercing through the hall.
This also shows that this cave is accessible and has an exit!
Li Changtian didn't bring a torch or torch, so he didn't dare to drill the hole rashly. He tightened the knot on his waist, then grabbed the rope hanging outside the cave, and climbed up the cliff again.
Seeing that he was about to climb to the top of the cliff, the sound of Qi Qi's footsteps suddenly came from above.
There is a team of guards passing by!
Li Changtian's whole body froze, his whole body pressed against the stone wall, not daring to move.
He suddenly thought of something.
If the rope tied to the tree is seen...
Li Changtian swallowed the air, his heart beating like a drum.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, Li Changtian clung to the rope tightly, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and was immediately dried by the howling mountain wind on the edge of the cliff.
Fortunately, nothing happened. The footsteps moved from far to near, then gradually moved away, and could no longer be heard.
Li Changtian took a deep breath, and climbed up the cliff in one go. He climbed up the cliff with both hands and looked at it. After confirming that there was no one, he quickly climbed up, put the rope away and hid it.
"I need to make some fire pockets and torches and hide them below. I don't know where there are flints and scythes for sale..." Li Changtian muttered to himself, "Go look for them in Baidi City."
So Li Changtian set off again, left Tianque Villa, and came to Baidi City.
After searching for half a day, Li Changtian successfully found what he wanted. When he returned to Tianque Villa, he saw a gray-haired old man selling candied haws on the side of the road, so he went up to ask for two bunches, thinking of giving one to Yanshu and one to Yanshu. Give it to Li Qiushui.
The old man stretched out his hand tremblingly and said, "Ten Wen."
Li Changtian stuffed a broken piece of silver into the palm of the old man, took the candied haws and walked away quickly.
As he crossed a street, a horse neighing pierced the sky, and several guards in official uniforms galloped past, almost bumping into Li Changtian in a hurry, but fortunately, Li Changtian dodged in time.
"Oops." A passer-by next to him was also almost hit, and complained angrily, "These officials, do all of them have eyes on the top of their heads! Can't see people?"
"It is estimated that they rushed out of the city, and a high-ranking and powerful prince came from the capital." Another passer-by said.
"Oh? My lord? Is it true or not?"
"I've heard it from others, too."
Li Changtian listened quietly for a while, then got up and walked towards Tianque Villa.
He had just arrived in front of the archway of Tianque Mountain Villa, and was about to go to the stable to borrow a horse with his token, when suddenly a pleasantly shouted voice came from behind: "Long Tian!!!"
As soon as Li Changtian turned his head, he was hugged by Shen Yushu who rushed over.
"Fuck, I couldn't find you when I went to the inn. I thought you and Yan Shu were arrested together. I was so worried." Shen Yushu didn't care where they were, and kept yelling loudly.
"Huh? You know about Yan Shu's arrest?" Li Changtian was surprised.
"I know, I wanted to talk to you! Where have you been these days?" Shen Yushu asked.
"It's a long story, it's a long story." Li Changtian pulled Shen Yushu to a place where no one was around, "I've been in Tianque Villa these days."
"What?!" Shen Yushu shouted, "Are you in Tianque Villa? Are you in my house? Why don't I know."
Li Changtian twitched the corner of his mouth.
Don't you have any idea what your family's success is like!
Two mountains, brother, two!
Don't mention one me, even if you hide a hundred me, you don't even know it!
"Do you know that the cliff on Tianque Mountain Villa, across the wooden trestle bridge, is not a cemetery at all?" Li Changtian asked tentatively.
Shen Yushu was silent for a while, then shook his head. He suddenly lost his expression, lowered his head and said, "Changtian, after you have traveled here, do you sometimes feel unreal? You feel that you don't belong here."
Li Changtian patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Recently, I haven't seen my father at all. My brother is even more strange. He always brings teams of strange merchants back to the villa. I asked him who those people were, and he told me to leave nothing alone. .” Shen Yushu felt disappointed, “Chang Tian, I always feel…”
"It always felt like something was going to happen."
