Chapter 75 Missing a Surprise
Unlike just now when he wanted to swagger into his uncle's bedroom, Wuxie now looked around. When he saw that there was no one around, he tiptoed into the study. After entering, he did not forget to turn around and peek around to close the door, trying not to be seen by outsiders.
His second uncle has a strong sense of territory and is also a germaphobe. He doesn't allow ordinary people to enter his study.
If his second uncle knew that he had sneaked in and tried to search through all the drawers and cabinets to find the secret passage, he would at least be scolded.
If he takes it seriously, he will be in big trouble.
When Wuxie thought of the consequences of being caught by his second uncle, he couldn't help but shudder, shrank his neck, and quickly walked around the study room on tiptoe.
Well, this Qing Dynasty porcelain vase on my second uncle's shelf seems a bit strange. Why are all the other antiques on this shelf from the late Ming Dynasty and only this one is from the Qing Dynasty?
Wuxie's focus is always on some inexplicable places.
He moved the bottle left and right, forward and backward, and turned it again and again. After finding no clues, he used both hands to lift the bottle upwards...
He lifted the bottle easily. The bottom of the bottle was very solid, made of nothing special but wooden planks. Not to mention any mechanism, there wasn't even much dust.
Wuxie put the bottle back a little embarrassedly, feeling extremely lucky that he was alone here and no one else could see his stupid behavior.
Then he checked the cute little cactus on the desk that didn't look out of place with his second uncle, the empty wastepaper basket that was supposed to be a trash can, and the can of toffee that was eight years and six months expired hidden deep in the drawer...
After working for a long time and finding nothing, Wuxie began to doubt his own reasoning.
This shouldn't be the case. There must be a secret passage, but where is it hidden?
Wuxie was very depressed. He squatted under the desk, panting, unable to figure out the problem. He was so tired that he simply sat down at the back.
The desk was pushed back a little by him, and a slight friction sound was particularly obvious in the quiet study.
Wuxie didn't pay much attention to it, but the next second he heard a click, and a secret door suddenly opened downwards from the floor where he was sitting.
Caught off guard, Wuxie fell headfirst and rolled down the stairs in the secret passage.
“Ouch! My shh ...
He fell to the ground with a thud, and Wuxie felt pain all over his body.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, he suddenly realized that it was not appropriate for him to make a sound, so Wuxie quickly stopped talking.
However, his series of noises were also noticed by people in the small room deep in the secret passage.
A stranger came in!
Hearing the sound, Jie Lianheng instantly became alert. He slowly put down the half-eaten potato chips in his hand and carefully placed them on the table, making sure that the plastic bag did not make any sound.
Then he stood up silently, took a few quick steps to turn off the lights, then groped in the darkness to open the back door and went into the secret passage on the other side.
Wuxie fell down in such haste that the flashlight fell on it.
Knowing that if it was really that old fox Third Uncle inside, he would have heard his voice by now, Wuxie didn't bother to get a flashlight. He turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and then, with a look of excitement on his face, he hurried along the secret passage.
The secret passage was not long, and Wuxie soon arrived at a small dark room.
Could this be... the legendary little dark room?
Although there was no one inside, Wuxie still looked left and right around the room with curiosity.
He found that there were lights, TVs and game consoles in the house, so it seemed that his third uncle was not so cruel.
Wuxie felt that if his third uncle took someone away, they would definitely not be able to leave so fast. Maybe his third uncle just happened to be taking his "canary" out for a walk.
If he stayed in this dark room, he might be able to catch an old fox that was listed as missing.
Wuxie had a good idea, so he sat down on the sofa, ready to squat, and then he suddenly found that the sofa was still warm...
Holy shit! That bitch must not have gone far!
Wuxie jumped up, pushed open the door opposite, and ran out.
Jie Lian was still walking on tiptoe, so of course he couldn't run as fast as Wu Xie. When he pushed open the mechanism of the secret passage and turned over to get out, Wu Xie, who was following behind him, had just run over.
Wuxie didn't know that because he was a second slower, he missed the opportunity to confront his "Third Uncle" face to face.
Hearing Wu Xie's footsteps running behind him, Jie Lian was still a little anxious. He subconsciously ran two steps towards the door. Suddenly, he remembered that Wu Sansheng's room should be locked, and the lock was from the outside, so he stopped again.
Looking around, Jie Lian found several places where people could hide.
Under the bed, in the closet, under the table, behind the screen...
But these places are also easy to be discovered. Jie Lian still couldn't believe that the man was so anxious to chase him here, and chased him into this room, and then searched carefully when he saw that there was no one there.
Knowing that he didn't have much time left, Jie Lian's brain was still working frantically. The next second, he looked towards the window and suddenly his eyes lit up.
That’s right! You can go out through the window.
Jie Lian quickly rushed over to open the window. As soon as he stepped on the windowsill, he found a pond behind him. The green lotus leaves in the pond were connected together, and a few scattered lotus flowers were half-hidden among the lotus leaves, like shy girls.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, but Jie Lian had no better choice at this time.
He took out the cell phone from his pocket and put it in his mouth, then climbed out of the window and pushed the lotus leaves away with his feet. Jie Lian sank half of his body into the water, and did not forget to close the window with his hands.
Jie Lianhuan sank his entire body under the lotus leaves, pulling the lotus leaves that were pushed aside next to him towards himself, trying to cover himself completely. Then he opened his cell phone and sent a message to Wu Erbai, who had just left not long ago, asking for support.
The two people passed each other again as if by coincidence, and when one finished singing, the other came on stage.
Wuxie pushed open the door of the secret passage and climbed out, complaining in his heart why the way in was a stone staircase, while the way out was a simple bamboo ladder. The person who built this secret passage was simply crazy!
At this time, Wu Erbai and Wu Sansheng, who were busy on both sides, sneezed at the same time.
Wu Sansheng just touched his nose and didn't take it to heart at all.
Wu Erbai felt a headache when he saw the dozens of messages on his phone that were linked to him.
He had just left the old house not long ago and was about to clean up the mess for his third brother. However, before he could finish his own business, he had to turn back to clean up the mess for Jie Lian.
Wu Erbai sighed helplessly, threw his phone onto the seat next to him, and collapsed back exhausted.
I don't want to struggle anymore, just destroy it...
He suddenly felt that he might have owed them something in his previous life, which was why these two clowns were causing him so much trouble in this life.
Can't you just be quiet!
