C160 (1/2)

”It's so hard to find such a basement. Is there even a need for three levels?” Jun Lin Yue asked. At this time, his wife replied, ”Because Zhuzhou is very low-lying and is basically an undulating basin, so when we first built it, we built a very high dam to prevent the flood season from flooding the river and submerging it. As a result, three levels of underground tunnels were constructed here. In the rainy season, this was the place where the water flowed through. From a distance, there were many places you could pass through. Of course, it could also be transported downstream to Liang Prefecture, Ningzhou and Qingzhou. However, it's currently in the dry water stage, and as the secret passage to Zhuzhou, you can feel it and feel it. It will be a great achievement! ”

With the old granny's praise, the two of them immediately became interested. Just as they were about to go in, the old granny said, ”As there is less ventilation, there might be some moisture in the passage. You guys be careful. It's a dry period now, so no water will come in! ”

The two of them nodded.

Right at this moment, a very fearful thought appeared in Yun Dai Er's mind. If someone were to throw in water at the end of the flood, or in other words, the water suddenly rose, wouldn't the person inside drown? If this mother-in-law was wary of them, the two of them would definitely die inside.

Thus, he pulled at Jun Lanyue, and just as his foot was about to step in, he was pulled out again. Yun Dai Er asked, ”Nanny, may I be bold to ask, since this is a secret passage, where do the people of the outer city usually go?”

The old granny paused for a moment before replying, ”Hehe, that is a place that everyone in Zhuzhou knows. In short, they won't directly head back in the opposite direction of the city gate.”

Yun Dai'er still felt that something was amiss as she looked at Jun Linyue. Jun Lanyue seemed to understand her gaze, and said to his mother-in-law, ”Grandma, how about this?” Considering that the secret passageway had three levels, the distance was quite far. ”Today, she was tired and couldn't wait to leave, so I'm afraid she won't be able to leave for too long. We want to stay here for the night, so we'll leave tomorrow. Do you think it's convenient for us to leave?”

This mother-in-law did not reveal any other expression and immediately nodded. ”Yes, yes!”

With that, the mother-in-law walked into the room. The two of them looked around. This room was beautifully arranged, but there were a lot of small items scattered around as if they had not been tidied up in a long time. Only the places that the old granny frequently moved in were spacious. Behind the window, there was a bed full of all kinds of firewood. There were a lot of animals carved into the bed, and there were also a lot of calligraphy and paintings on the wall, but they were all worn out and yellow. Some of them were cut by something.

At this moment, the old granny came out from the inside and said, ”The two of you have come for a long time. There isn't a good place to entertain you and it is already very late. You can go in and sleep.”

”Outside?” Jun Lanyue asked in surprise, ”How do you sleep outside?”

The old granny said, ”I naturally have a way to sleep. Besides, I still have to keep watch. You can go!” Jun Lanyue glanced at Yun Dai'er and the two of them said, ”We'll accompany you!”

Grandma quickly refused, ”No need, no need! Go and rest! Don't we still have matters to attend to tomorrow? ”

At this moment, the two of them had roughly seen through everything, but they didn't say anything. They just silently pushed their way into the room. Jun Lanyue cupped his fists and said, ”Then Granny, we've offended you!”

The old granny sat on the bedside and waved her hands, ”Go, go!”

The two of them retreated back into the room. Yun Dai'er looked at Jun Lin Yue, and Jun Lin Yue looked at Yun De'er. The two of them silently lay on the bed, facing each other.

After walking for a long time, it was time for her tired body to rest. Lying down was naturally very comfortable. At that moment, both of them opened their eyes.
