The two of them looked at each other, then mixed in with the crowd and walked north!
Si Jinxing looked around as he walked, but he didn't find any private warehouses, not even a warehouse.
If Gu Anxu heard correctly, then where is this private warehouse?
She carefully went over the terrain of the riverbank in her mind, but suddenly her feet stopped.
The old man didn't care about the fire at all. Does this mean that the fire couldn't burn the private warehouse?
Just as she thought of this, she suddenly heard someone shouting behind her: "Mr. Gu, where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing and Gu Anxu turned around and saw the master walking towards them.
Behind him...
It is a family ancestral hall.
At this hour, neither early nor late, why did you come out of the ancestral hall?
Gu Anxu said anxiously, "I suddenly saw a fire in the north, so I wanted to go help. What's the village head doing?"
There he was laughing and saying, "I forgot to burn incense to my ancestors this morning, so I went to make up for it.
This fire, these villagers are all that's needed. Are you leaving now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Gu Anxu could speak, Si Jinxing said:
"Uncle Lizheng, is that one of your servants? He seems to be looking for you!"
As he turned his head to look, he saw the servant looking around, as if he had something urgent to do!
He was about to have Gu Anxu and the other two sent away when he heard the little girl say:
"I saw that the man was very anxious. Could it be that the old man was unwell?
Master, go and take a look with the village head. I'll be waiting for you here."
While they were talking, the servant came running over and said, "Master, the old master has suddenly had an unbearable stomachache for some reason. Please go and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, the head of the village no longer cared about the ugly little girl and took Gu Anxu back to the house!
Seeing this, Si Jinxing walked forward a few steps and moved towards the ancestral hall.
She looked around, and when no one was paying attention, she slipped through the wall and entered!
This ancestral hall isn't very large, and the north wall is filled with tablets, but...
She looked closer and saw that there was no incense stick in the incense burner that had just burned out.
There is a lie!
Is there some secret in this ancestral hall?
Si Jinxing walked around the ancestral hall twice but didn't find anything unusual. She sat dejectedly on the cushion on the ground.
Was this trip in vain?
Just as she lowered her head, she saw that the candle on the right side of the altar was out!
She stood up and wondered if she had accidentally put it out.
Si Jinxing hurriedly reached out and grabbed the candle, trying to light it, so as to avoid being discovered that someone had entered this ancestral hall.
But at this moment, she discovered that there were only a few drops of wax dripping from the right candle stick, while there was a large amount of wax accumulated under the left candle stick!
Thinking of this, she suddenly exerted force with her hands and accidentally bent the wax stick to the right.
With a creaking sound, a secret door appeared on the north wall!
Only then did Si Jinxing realize that the north wall was not a normal wall, but a dark room!
There was no incense burning there just now. I guess he went into a dark room?
Without having time to think, she quickly slipped into the dark room!
But this darkroom is not a square room. The further you go in and down, the darker the light becomes!
It turns out that this is the passage leading to the underground!
On the walls on both sides of the passage, there were burning torches inserted every few meters, so you could see the steps under your feet.
Si Jinxing walked on the steps and felt her heart beating faster. A small village actually built a secret room. What on earth did Jia Wensheng want to do?
Fortunately, this passage is not long. After walking for a while, Si Jinxing suddenly felt that the view in front of him was suddenly open!
She looked around in the dim light of the torch and saw a huge pit of two to three hundred square meters!
Si Jinxing rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This was the private warehouse he had been looking for for a long time!
I saw hundreds of one-meter-high porcelain jars neatly stacked in three layers and placed in a big pit!
Si Jinxing opened a porcelain jar and saw that it was filled with clean new rice!
Jia Wensheng, ah Jia Wensheng!
The rice here is enough for the people of Xuzhou to survive this disaster safely, but he refuses!
Si Jinxing didn't think any more and reached out to touch the porcelain jar. Because these hundreds of porcelain jars were piled together, Si Jinxing stuffed them all into Xinglin Yaxu's backyard without any effort!
When she turned around, she suddenly saw three wooden boxes piled in the corner.
With the mentality of not wasting a single grain of food, she opened the wooden box, but found that it did not contain rice at all!
But there were two boxes of gold ingots and one box of silver notes!
The gold ingots were fifty taels each, and the silver notes were one hundred taels each!
She silently put all the boxes into her pocket!
Si Jinxing didn't stay any longer and returned the same way!
However, just as she arrived at the ancestral hall, she heard the voice of the village head outside the door:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu. If it weren't for Mr. Gu's timely rescue, my father would have suffered even more!
Where is your little apprentice? Have you ever seen Mr. Gu's little apprentice?
He was frowning and asking the villagers who were coming and going around him, but no one saw him.
Just as he was beginning to feel suspicious, he saw a woman with a dirty face walking towards him from behind the ancestral hall.
I saw that she had taken off her veil and hung it around her neck. Her pitted face was covered in gray and black, and her body was stained with many water stains!
He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, young master, for putting out the fire. It's very troublesome."
Seeing this, Si Jinxing pretended to be ashamed and put on the veil hat on her head. She knelt down in a panic to return the greeting, then hid behind Gu Anxu and whispered, "Master... let's go..."
Seeing this, they thought the young woman was ashamed to be seen, so they waved their hands and said:
"In this world, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Young Master, you are a kind person who puts your own safety first to put out the fire!"
Gu Anxu knew that the matter was settled, so he said goodbye to the place and headed south with Si Jinxing, leaving Heyan Village!
Gu Anxu drove the carriage for a distance, and Qingchan and Bai Xi appeared in a secluded place.
Qing Chan handed Si Jinxing a wet towel, took out a plate of snacks, and said:
"When I set the fire, I didn't expect you, Princess, to end up like this.
Speaking of which, the villagers weren't very welcoming, and they didn't even invite you to have lunch."
Si Jinxing wiped her face while speaking to Gu An:
"The old man has a stomachache. Are you suspicious?"
Gu Anxu suddenly knelt down and said, "County Lady, I have finally waited for you."
Si Jinxing sighed lightly. The medicine she had used on the old man was actually seen through by Gu Anxu.
She raised her hand and said, "Get up. Now that you know my identity, you are only putting yourself in danger..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Mo Qiu's voice outside the carriage door: "Something happened in Xuzhou!"
