"I rely on!"

How could there be a dead person in the wine tank?Facing the black eye holes of the skeleton, Zhang Chi was also taken aback.

He was about to throw away the skull, but Song Ci approached the lantern, "Don't move, let me see."

What's so cool about skeletons?Zhang Chi felt baffled, but obediently raised the skull on his hand a little higher.

Song Ci stared at the skull for a while, and the more she looked at it, the more she frowned, "Is there anything else underneath?"

Zhang Chi reached out and touched the bottom of the tank, and found many other bones around the side, which could basically piece together a complete human skeleton.

"The deceased is this woman named Jiang Qi?" After Zhang Chi climbed out of the wine tank, he saw the seal next to it. As the wine evaporated, the handwriting had begun to blur.

"Probably not, the bones in the jar are male." Song Ci stroked her chin with the knuckles of her index finger.Unfortunately, nothing was found to prove his identity.

"Male?" Zhang Chi and the big man were a little surprised.

"Look, the forehead is flat, the eyebrow arches are prominent, the zygomatic arches are thick, the mandibular angle is close to a right angle, including the hip bone you found later, all have obvious male characteristics." Song Ci explained on the skull.His hands were beautiful, long and thin, with well-defined joints. The only drawback was that his skin was a little pale because he rarely saw the sun all year round.

Zhang Chi scratched his hair carelessly through the towel. To him, he could only see that it was once a human head.

"Wait," Zhang Chi reacted and looked at the densely packed wine vats under his feet, "Is there a corpse in every wine vat?"

In every tank?Following Zhang Chi's words, Song Ci quickly imagined the image of countless skeletons with their arms raised high, scrambling to get out of the ground like an occupational disease. The hellish scene made his scalp tingle.

"Otherwise, let's open another one to have a look?" Zhang Chi suggested.

"Let's look for another chance next time," the big man standing a little further reminded, "We've been here for too long."

Song Ci nodded. It is uncertain whether there is hallucinogenic gas in the wine tank, and it will take time to install the copper lock back. If it is delayed for too long, it will cause problems.

After the three of them restored the wine cellar and copper lock to their original state, the big man walked towards the front yard without looking back.

"Hey, where are you going?" Zhang Chi asked hastily.Afraid of waking up others, he dared not speak loudly.

"do the laundry."

Seeing the coarse cloth jacket that the big man was holding in his hand with disgust, Song Ci suddenly realized that it was used by the big man to save him from the wine vat.Looking at himself again, the mop-like trousers were crumpled and stuck together, and the half-wet cloth jacket smelled like alcohol.

Oops, the most messy and embarrassing moment was seen by the big man again!Song Ci was so embarrassed that he just wanted to speed up to the speed of the third universe and leave.

Half an hour later, Song Ci, who had washed his clothes and took a cold shower, was refreshed. With a sheet tied on, he walked slowly to the fire and sat down, shaking his hair like a puppy.

"Senior, how did you get hurt?" Zhang Chi who was drying clothes asked strangely.

Injuried?Song Ci was a little baffled, and looked along where Zhang Chi pointed, only to find a light blue bruise on his left calf, slightly oozing blood, which was particularly eye-catching against his fair complexion.

"It was probably hit by a stool, it's okay." Song Ci said indifferently, he was distracted when he walked, and often bumped into the corner of the bed and table, and his body would bruise every time he moved, he got used to it.

Can the stool hurt too?Zhang Chi rubbed the back of his neck, "No wonder my brother said that you live up to your name, you are more brittle than porcelain, and as tender as lactone tofu, you must be careful."

Song Ci couldn't help but choked up speechless, Qi Huan, it's fine to say that he looks like porcelain, but what the hell is lactone tofu?

"It's really comfortable." The night wind blew past, and Zhang Chi let out a long breath.

"Don't be careless, we are now in a secret room that could be fatal at any time." Song Ci felt that Zhang Chi seemed too relaxed and couldn't help reminding him.The secret room in front of me is full of weirdness, it is definitely not as ordinary as it looks.

"I think that guy on the 7th is just scaring us. In fact, no one will die at all." Zhang Chi shook his knee carelessly, "If it was in the movie, at least one of the eight of us should have died by now."

"Then where do you think that bone came from?" Song Ci lowered her eyelashes. In fact, if the big man came a few seconds later, he might be the one who 'has died'.

"A passing customer NPC, right? I always think this is a black shop, the kind that seeks money and kills people." Zhang Chi scratched his hair, and suddenly paused, "Senior, you said that the bone we found, shouldn't it be Is it the owner of the secret room?"

"Stop watching dark movies in the future." Song Ci shuddered from Zhang Chi's brain hole.

"Then who do you think he is?"

"Maybe it's the last batch of players who came to this secret room." Song Ci absently turned his cloth jacket over.

Why did that man die in the wine vat?Stumbled in like they did or got murdered?A series of question marks can be derived from this, however, it seems that it has nothing to do with the key they are looking for.

Zhang Chi touched the goosebumps that popped up on his arms, the person who should watch less messy things is you, senior.

The big man strode back to the fire with neatly stacked bundles of firewood.In the night wind, the lantern in his hand spun half a circle, and the hole that had been burnt was just facing Song Ci's side. Through the scorched hole, the half-burned candle wick could be seen shining inside. Stars of golden light.

"Don't move." Song Ci's eyes moved slightly, she held on to the big man's broken lantern, and reached out to snuff out the candle inside.

Zhang Chi & Big Man: ? ? ?

Song Ci endured the heat, and quickly pulled the candle wick out of the softened wax.To their surprise, it was not some twisted rope, but a thin piece of light brown brocade!

Zhang Chi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you." Song Ci shook the brocade to the big man and Zhang Chi with high spirits. So far, this should be the most suitable condition.

"Clue?" Zhang Chi approached in surprise, and couldn't wait to snatch the piece from Song Ci's hand.You can find it so hidden, the senior is amazing!

A lot of the brocade had been burned, and after unfolding, ink stains remained inside, which looked like a 'small' character.

"Small?" Zhang Chi tilted his head, and began to compose words, "Is it big or small? Big or small?"

"What we see now may be the whole character, or it may be only a part of the character." Song Ci poked the fire with a wooden stick.

"Characters with small characters? Cai? Show? Er? Jing?" Zhang Chi began to desperately search the word library in his head again.

Zhang Chi was obsessed with 'making' characters, Song Ci and the big man were not idle either.

Song Ci checked himself and Zhang Chi's lantern along the mouth of the lantern, and the wicks inside looked relatively normal.The big man dismantled one for sure, and it was indeed just an ordinary wick.

It appears that not every lantern has a clue in it.

The two looked at the small inn building behind them in unison.

The lanterns in their hands were taken from the nearby eaves in order to check their surroundings, and they were very random.If the clues are hidden in the lanterns, it is best to check all the lanterns to be on the safe side if you are not sure how many so-called clues there are.

The big man quickly ran to the small building, and took off the three lanterns neatly.

They checked separately, and found another piece of khaki brocade that shone with gold. This time, the remaining ink was the word 'wood'.

Sure enough, there are other clues!Song Ci exchanged a glance with the big man.

"It's despicable! Hiding the clues in the candle, if we find out later, the clues will be burned!" Zhang Chi said angrily, holding a cloth strip, "This ghost secret room doesn't want us to go out at all! "

In order to prevent the clues from being destroyed, the three raced against time to blow out all the hanging lanterns, and then began to check one by one.

After half an hour of busy work, they even picked up the four lanterns outside the door with bamboo poles and looked at them. Including the first one, they found a total of six pieces of cloth strips of different colors.Among them is a light brown strip with 'small' written on it, a khaki and beige strip with 'wooden' written on it, a white and crimson cloth strip with 'one' written on it, and a golden strip of cloth with ink stains already on it. Completely burnt out.

"What kind of clue is this? It's a no-brainer." Zhang Chi squatted down next to the pile of cloth strips. He wanted to pull the hair tie on his forehead, but he only got a towel.

The big man next to him has already hung the checked lantern back to its original position quickly and orderly, even more neatly than before.

"Don't worry, we can find a time to study together at night... Oops," Song Ci suddenly stopped, and patted himself on the forehead, "We forgot about their five lanterns."

"It's not easy, I'll get it now." Zhang Chi put on his dry clothes and was about to get up when the old man coughed suddenly from the small building.

The three looked at each other, quickly put away the cloth strips, and slipped back to their original places.

Song Ci, who was last at the bottom, had just entered the hall when the one-eyed old man walked out of the hut on crutches.

Seeing Song Ci who was stretching his arms and kicking slowly at the entrance of the hall, the old man was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously after a while, "What are you doing?"

"Do morning exercises." Song Ci said solemnly.

Old man: ……………

He ignored Song Ci who was behaving strangely, and walked slowly towards the kitchen.Walking to the door of the kitchen, the old man stopped suddenly, staring at the door leading to the backyard with an unclear expression.

Seeing the old man stop, Song Ci's heart instantly rose to his throat.

He bent down anxiously, using large movements to hide his guilty conscience.

In order to avoid revealing his flaws, he took note of the positions and angles of all the copper rings before opening the lock, so it shouldn't be discovered, right?

The old man looked at it for a long time, and then gave Song Ci a meaningful look with his cloudy one-eyed, before walking into the kitchen.

As soon as his figure disappeared behind the door, Song Ci sat on the ground exhausted.

In just a few short seconds, he almost had a heart attack.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Pingtou, who got up early, saw Song Ci sitting at the door, with unconcealable surprise on his expression.

"What's the matter?" Song Ci raised her thick eyelashes, and her black and white pupils looked narrowly and narrowly.

"No, I mean, why are you sitting on the ground, is it uncomfortable?" Xiaopingtou changed his words in embarrassment and panic.

"It's nothing, I'm just tired." Song Ci patted the dust off his hands and stood up slowly.

After breakfast, the old man reassigned jobs to the eight people. No. 1 man with glasses, No. 2 fat man and Song Ci were in charge of tidying up the stables, and then bathed the old horse. Zhang Chi, No. 5 had a plaid shirt and No. 6 had The white-collar girl starches and washes the quilts, the crew cut No. 7 and the big man No. 8 repair tables and chairs.

During the break between work, Zhang Chi looked at no one nearby, and quietly told Song Ci that he and the big man went back to the room and looked at it, and found the seventh piece of black and red cloth in the fat man's lantern. Unfortunately, there was written on it. The inked portion of the ink has been burned away.

After noon, the sky suddenly turned cloudy and it rained heavily. Everyone was forced to hide in the small building. The drowsy Song Ci finally had time to sleep for a few hours.

He was woken up by Zhang Chi, because there were guests at the inn.

In the dark sky, Song Ci yawned and came to the hall, and saw a dozen or so soaked men in black standing in front of the building against the heavy rain, eight of them were carrying huge black veils on their shoulders. sedan chair.

Because the sedan chair was too big, the man with glasses and the crew-cut guy were scrambling to remove the door panels, the fat man with one hand and the big man were moving tables and chairs.Song Ci was also arrested to join the ranks of moving tables and chairs.

The men in black seemed to have been professionally trained, and despite the lightning, thunder, and heavy rain, they still stood firm.Including the other one in the black suit who didn't lift the sedan chair, who also held an umbrella to accompany him in the heavy rain, and didn't enter the inn without authorization.

Obviously, the person in the sedan chair is a big man.

After they moved enough space, the black-clothed person carried the huge sedan chair into the inn.

"Crack!"

A thunder blasted on the roof, and the man with glasses at the door was so frightened that his feet went limp, he knelt on the ground trembling, and accidentally tore off a veil in front of the sedan chair.

"Ah!!!" Seeing the situation inside the sedan chair, the white-collar girl couldn't help crying out.

The rest of the people were also dumbfounded.

Inside the sedan chair, there was a cold coffin.

The body of the coffin looked as if it had been soaked in blood, it was dazzlingly red, and a big "囍" was written on it with gold lacquer.

Weird.
