Chapter 126 8 Walls 8 Doors
Behind the ebony screen with rich flowers in bloom is a canopy bed made of the same material, covered with gorgeous brocade bedding.
What shocked and angered Yu Hongdou so much that she wanted to strangle Liu Jiaoniang to death right away was the carpet under the bed.
It was a huge, intact dog hair carpet. One could tell at a glance what kind of dog it was. Even if it was not Wangwang's parent, it should be of the same species.
There was no one else behind the screen, and no entrance or exit. Yu Hongdou gritted her teeth, pulled down the bed curtains, and wrapped up the carpet on the floor into a big bag, ready to take it out and bury it. Then she searched at the head and foot of the bed and on the dressing table not far from the bed.
Liu Jiaoniang didn't seem to live here often. Apart from some jewelry on the dressing table, she didn't even have the usual supplies such as powder and hair oil.
The only useful clue was probably a lotus-shaped jade pendant wrapped in red cloth that Yu Hongdou found in the secret compartment at the head of the bed.
The lotus is made of green jade, and there is a ferocious animal head carved on the central petal, which looks a bit weird.
Thinking that this thing might be an important clue, or that it might be the most expensive thing in the house, Yu Hongdou put the lotus jade pendant in her pocket.
Yu Hongdou, who came out from behind the screen, found that the power of Huang Daxian's fart was indeed quite strong.
She tossed and turned for a while, but the stench not only did not dissipate, but spread instead. Even standing next to the screen, she could smell the disgusting odor.
Yu Hongdou felt that her hair was starting to stink, her chest was stuffy and she wanted to vomit, so she quickly started looking for a way out.
The exit was not difficult to find. Yu Hongdou walked along the wall and soon found a door hidden in the wall.
There was no handle on the door. After studying the torches hanging on both sides of the door, she felt that with Liu Jiaoniang's height, it would be impossible for her to raise her hand and stand on tiptoe to open the door every day, so she turned her eyes to the ground.
Sure enough, there was a slightly raised square brick on the ground three or four steps away from the door. Yu Hongdou stepped on it and the door on the wall opened silently.
Oh wow, it's an automatic door! Yu Hongdou stood there for a while, holding the slingshot in admiration.
She knew that the slingshot was not very powerful and a skilled person could easily dodge it, but it was all she had at the moment, so she had to strike a pose even if it was just for show.
I waited quietly for a few seconds. There was no one at the door and no one seemed to be rushing over.
Yu Hongdou was puzzled for a moment. Could it be that the hall master Liu Jiaoniang was a lone commander with only one subordinate?
For safety reasons, she put down the slingshot for the time being and threw the bag out of the door as a decoy. There was no sound outside the door.
Yu Hongdou put the slingshot back on and walked out of the room. Outside the door was a short corridor made entirely of bluestone. A pair of stone lamps were installed at intervals on the wall, allowing the scene in the corridor to be clearly visible.
At the end of the empty corridor was a stone door, which made Yu Hongdou let down her guard a little. She quickly walked to the end of the corridor, lay on the stone door to listen outside, and then quietly opened the stone door.
There is another empty corridor outside the door...
Since it's the same corridor, why do we have to have two doors? When Yu Hongdou opened the second stone door and saw the same corridor and stone door again, all her vigilance flew away.
She looked back and felt something was wrong. Who would build underground projects in sections? Even if they were worried about collapse, they would have erected pillars in the long corridor, right? They went to the trouble of building a door. Was it for soundproofing?
Yu Hongdou felt that she might have missed some hidden mechanisms in the stone door, but she didn't want to go back, so she simply opened the stone door and walked out again.
After passing through three identical corridors and opening three identical stone doors, Yu Hongdou arrived at a huge octagonal hall.
The hall is about six or seven meters high, with a picture of the twenty-eight constellations painted on it. The colors have faded, but the pattern is very complete, and the stars in the constellations are even faintly shining.
In the center of the hall is a long stone platform, on which are placed the bases of three stone lotus flowers.
If it weren't for these three stone lotuses, Yu Hongdou almost thought that this stone platform was a coffin.
I think there should have been three stone statues here, but I don’t know whether they were not put there or were moved away.
Apart from that, the entire hall was frighteningly empty.
Yu Hongdou looked around and found that there was a stone door on each of the eight walls. She was immediately confused. So, what should she do next?
After staying there for a few seconds, Yu Hongdou looked back, drew a few strokes on the stone door with an iron marble, and then threw the marble into the middle of the hall. His eyes followed the marble for a while, and he chose a stone door and walked in.
Behind this stone door are two corridors and then an empty room.
There were two broken wooden boxes in the room. Yu Hongdou found a handful of copper coins in the boxes. After taking a closer look, she recognized the words on them.
【Daqing Tongbao】
Is this also an antique? Yu Hongdou tried to make herself happy in the midst of hardship, and put the copper coins into her small purse, and then stuffed the purse into the package she was carrying.
Putting this handful of copper coins in your purse is no less than hanging a bell on your body, so it is better to wrap it up safely.
Yu Hongdou returned to the octagonal hall again, repeated the actions of drawing lines on the stone door and throwing marbles, and then entered another stone door.
Behind the third stone door there is only a corridor, and then an empty room, but there is a stone door hidden on the wall of this room, and behind the door is another room.
The room was dark without any fire. On the wall hung a huge stone animal head, facing the people who came in ferociously. At first glance, Yu Hongdou was almost scared to death.
When Yu Hongdou returned to the hall again, she couldn't help it anymore. She covered her rumbling stomach and sat on the ground crying.
How could she be so unlucky! Did the plot master see that she was a cannon fodder and deliberately set up obstacles for her, trying to kill her in various ways? !
How did this damn Liu Jiaoniang live in this maze-like secret room? Isn’t she afraid of starving to death?
Yu Hongdou was wiping her tears when she suddenly heard the sound of pebbles rolling and she immediately froze there.
A faint human voice was heard. Yu Hongdou stood up in fright and listened carefully. It seemed that it was not the door but the wall?
She clung to the pillars connecting the eight walls and the sound became louder, but still not clear enough.
Yu Hongdou tapped on a pillar that was about as wide as she was and found that it was made of wood. She hesitated whether to knock on it to give the person on the other side of the pillar a hint.
She didn't know whether the person on the other side of the pillar was Liu Jiaoniang's accomplice, or someone who came to save her, or even worse, Liu Jiaoniang's enemy. Yu Hongdou did not forget Aunt Hua and Huang Jincheng, who were suspected of having ulterior motives.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Hongdou gritted her teeth and decided that instead of being trapped here to death, she might as well take a gamble!
