Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

The two of them walked very quickly and arrived at one of the places earlier than Mu Yi and the others.

Mo Beihan looked around, not understanding why Qiao Ran chose this place first.

Qiao Ran ignored him. After entering this courtyard, which was probably the smallest and most remote in the whole mansion, she began to look around.

This is the most remote courtyard located in the northwest corner of the City Lord's Mansion. Judging from the map, it is actually quite far away from the main courtyard where the City Lord lives.

Although it is remote, it is not uninhabited.

Mo Beihan said based on what his subordinates had found out:

"It is said that this courtyard was where the city lord's wet nurse lived. When she got old, she became deaf and blind. The city lord felt that a courtyard that was too big would be inconvenient for the wet nurse to move around, and was afraid that she would get lost, so he let her live in this most remote small courtyard, where no one would disturb her. When the city lord's family was wiped out, the wet nurse also died in the courtyard."

After hearing this, Qiao Ran curled her lips.

You said you were worried that the wet nurse would get lost, but I'm afraid you're letting her live here to hide from others?

Anyway, the wet nurse is deaf and blind, so she doesn’t know who comes in or out.

But King Ping was too inhumane. He even wanted to kill an old man who was deaf and blind and had no grudge against him and would not expose his identity.

Qiao Ran felt that this courtyard was the most suspicious.

She looked around.

The yard is really small. Compared with other yards in the mansion, this yard is the most shabby.

Just two trees, some bamboos, a set of stone tables and chairs, and two houses.

In one of the houses there was a wooden bed, a simple set of wooden tables and chairs, a box for clothes, and nothing else. It was very shabby.

The other room had a few bundles of firewood piled in the corner, but nothing else.

Qiao Ran went straight up and reached out to move the bundles of firewood.

"RanRan, let me do it!"

Mo Beihan quickly stepped forward to help, while asking:

"RanRan, are you doubting...?"

Qiao Ran nodded:

"There is no kitchen in this yard, not even a stove. It is impossible for a blind old woman to cook for herself. Why are there several bundles of firewood here for no reason?"

Mo Beihan nodded, thinking that Ran Ran was really smart and always considered things comprehensively.

Just as the two men moved two bundles of firewood, Mu Yi came over with a few people.

"Master, Miss Qiao, you guys take a rest over there, let us move it!"

Several people hurried forward, each carrying a bundle of the remaining firewood out of the house and throwing it into the yard.

Mu Yi knew the purpose of Qiao Ran and the others' coming here, so without being told, he stepped forward and struck the ground where the firewood had been piled with the hilt of his sword.

"Tuk-tuk!"

A dull voice sounded, and Mu Yi turned around in surprise and reported:

"Master, Miss Qiao, there seems to be something unusual here!"

Qiao Ran stepped forward, examined the ground carefully, and stomped on it, but she couldn't stomp it open with her foot.

She looked around carefully again to see where the mechanism was.

Mo Beihan also took his men to check carefully.

However, the few of them searched the room inside and out but could not find the place to activate the mechanism.

Qiao Ran thought about it, turned around and went into the next room.

I lifted the bed board and checked carefully, but still couldn't find the mechanism.

Mo Beihan came in, threw the wooden table and chairs and the wooden box aside, and carefully checked the floor and walls, but still found nothing.

The two looked at each other and turned their gazes to the set of stone tables and chairs in the yard.

The two men walked out of the yard together, one carrying the stone table and the other carrying the stone stool.

In the wide eyes of Mu Yi and others, they saw Qiao Ran gently turning the stone table, and a slight "cracking" sound came from the room where the firewood was placed.

"Found it! There really is a secret passage!"

Mu Yi and others exclaimed.

Until the stone table stopped turning, Qiao Ran walked into the house and saw that a hole almost the same size as the stone table had appeared where the firewood had been piled.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking inside, you can see stone steps extending downwards.

It was not dark inside the cave. It seemed that when the entrance was opened, the oil lamp inside immediately lit up and light shone through.
