"Is it a well?" After the guards checked that there was no danger, Tan Mengao was the first to stick his head in. He saw the shimmering light under the dark cave entrance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

As the saying goes: Digging a well on the top of a mountain is a futile effort.

What kind of good person would dig a well on the top of a mountain? The water dug from a well is groundwater. The mountain is so high, how deep would you have to dig to find water?

But there was actually a well in front of me, and there was water in the well!

"How do you know there is a well here?" Tan Yanlin glanced at the hexagonal platform, then turned to look at Yu Song, full of curiosity.

"Plants are ignorant and absorb water crazily. Although this is a high mountain, it is sandwiched between two higher peaks. The mountains are connected in a continuous manner. Where there are two mountains, there must be a river. So there must be a water source nearby." Yu Song's finger swept across the distance, and everyone's eyes moved with it.

The One Bag Mountain in the distance and the Three Bag Mountain opposite it were indeed much higher than the Two Bag Mountain where they were.

"Yu Song, are you willing to serve in the Northwest Army in the future?" Tan Langxuan retracted his gaze. Even if they knew and remembered some knowledge, they still could not use it flexibly, so experienced people were rare and valuable.

"...Right now I just want to study hard with you, sir. These past few days, just listening to the story of the last emperor and his favorite concubine, I have had countless doubts. I don't know the history and the allusions. I think I still have a long way to go in the future." Yu Song refused with a smile, and analyzed his own shortcomings by the way.

Of course he didn't want to. The northwest is so far away, and it's difficult for him to go home from the county town. His parents are not far away, and he is the only son. He will be the head of the third family in the future, providing for his parents in their old age and being a support for his younger sister.

But what he said were not all excuses. He was indeed a little ignorant at the moment. Not to mention completing his studies, it would take him who knows how many years to reach the level of the youngest Young Master Eleven.

Tan Langxuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then he stared at the well mouth in silence. After watching for a while, he suddenly picked up a stone and threw it into the well mouth. After listening for a moment, he said, "Bring a rope."

"? Ninth brother, you want to go down?" Tan Yanlin frowned but did not stop him. He walked to the wellhead and listened carefully, then pulled his seventh brother over to listen together.

"The sound of wind?" Tan Mengao was confused, then he said in surprise: "Is there a secret room under the well, and is there a room full of treasures?"

Tan Yanlin glanced at the naive Seventh Brother with his eyelids, and stared closely at the Ninth Brother who was going down into the well.

Tan Langxiu followed the rope down to the bottom of the well. When he was about nine feet below, he gestured upwards. Soon the rope straightened and he was suspended in mid-air.

The inner wall width of an ordinary well is mostly between three feet three and six feet wide, but Tan Langxiu found that this well was actually shaped like a big-bellied bottle, becoming more spacious as it went down. Now, where he was stopping, it was a full seven and a half feet wide.

He saw a brick protruding from the wall on the right side of the well. Looking down along the brick, he found that there were bricks arranged at equal distances like steps.

He swung his body, pulling the rope with him, using himself as a pendulum, and rushed to the raised bricks. He raised his hand and pressed it against the wall of the well, and gestured upwards again, indicating that he should continue to let out the rope.

After walking down a few steps along the stone bricks, a cool breeze came out from the wall of the well. Tan Langxiu took a closer look and found that there was a stone door here. He kicked it tentatively, and the heavy feeling from his foot told him that the stone door should be very thick.

Tan Langxuan did not force it. At this moment, the sky turned from clear to cloudy, and thick clouds blocked the sun, completely blocking the light in the well.

Even if he could open this stone door, he couldn't get in now. It was about to rain, and the water level in the well was rising. There was a certain risk. The damp well wall had already told Tan Langxu this, so he simply gestured above and went straight out of the well.

"There is a stone door, three feet square. It looks like it hasn't been opened for many years. It may be difficult to open it by one person." As soon as Tan Langxu came up, he was stared at by seven or eight pairs of eyes. Even though he was so calm, he felt a little scalp-tingling and hurriedly explained.

"There really is a secret room!" Tan Mengao was both surprised and horrified.

He lay on the mouth of the well and tried hard to look down, but the well was very deep and the sky was dim, so he couldn't even see the ripples of the water, let alone the stone door attached to the stone wall.

"Let's eat first. It's going to rain soon. Let's wait until the rain stops." Tan Langxiu shook his head and rejected his subordinate who was eager to try and volunteer.

"There should be running water in the well. Don't eat or drink it for the time being. You can draw some water to wash." Yu Song did not forget the reason why he was looking for water.

After they had simply washed up, the wild rabbits and pheasants they had hunted on the way into the mountains had already been roasted. When they sat down to eat their first meal, it started to rain heavily outside.

"What do you think is hidden in the secret room below?" Tan Mengao held a rabbit leg in his left hand and pointed in the direction of the well with his right hand.

"Maybe it's empty." Tan Yanlin couldn't stand seeing Seventh Brother's smug look, so he couldn't help but criticize him.

Seeing Yu Songzheng holding a small bamboo tube and sprinkling a red powder on the chicken in front of him, he knew that this was the seasoning for the fried fish he had eaten last night, so he reached out to ask for it.

Tan Yanlin took the small bamboo tube and sprinkled it a few times, and found that in addition to the red chili powder, there were other condiments. After careful identification, the white one should be fine salt, and the light yellow one was probably pepper.

"It is said that medicine and food have the same origin. I was skeptical before, but this time I have broadened my horizons. I will definitely read more books on pharmacology when I return." After saying this, Tan Yanlin took a big bite of the chicken leg sprinkled with seasonings, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

When Yu Song heard about the book on pharmacology, he asked a few questions with interest, wrote down the title, and planned to collect two copies to give to his grandfather as a birthday gift.

The heavy rain came quickly and stopped quickly. Before they finished their meal, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. The air was filled with moisture and the fragrance of plants washed by the rain, which prompted Tan Mengao and Tan Yanlin to recite a few poignant poems about "Empty Mountains after the Rain".

On the other side, Tan Mengao took two of his men to look at the well mouth, asked someone to pick up wooden sticks and sharpen them into sharp stakes, and went down the well again despite his men's obstruction.

It can be seen that the gap in the stone door is indeed closely fitted with the well wall, but after hundreds of years, the stone has sunk, and due to water erosion, people have finally found a breakthrough point.

After about seven or eight wooden stakes were broken, the stone door was finally pried open. Tan Langxiu pushed hard with his feet, and the stone door flipped inward, revealing a square door hidden behind it.

The brick and stone passage had its gaps sealed with white plaster. Except for some moisture in the first three parts of the entrance, the inside was surprisingly dry.

Tan Langxu lit a tinder and threw it in. The flame suddenly grew larger and the head danced toward the inside of the passage, showing that the air flow inside was unobstructed.

"Laojiu, I want to go down too!" Tan Mengao was afraid that his younger brother would take the risk alone, and he also wanted to explore it himself, so he hurriedly shouted into the well.

Tan Langxuan, who had already stepped into the passage, paused and went in without looking back...
