Zhou An briefly told what he encountered in the ruins. Of course, he did not mention the injuries to the county magistrate, Qianshan Gang leader, and Iron Fist Martial Arts Hall leader. If this matter were told and spread,
, the county seat can easily cause unrest.
Jiang Chengjiao was surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that the ruins once in a thousand years would be opened the year before last, and that such a powerful ghost would be resurrected and kill so many people.
While the two were talking and answering, Zhou An and Jiang Chengjiao came to the second occupied cell.
The layout of this cell is completely different from that of Jiang Chengjiao's. There is an old man living in it. This old man is very old. His beard and hair are all white. His face even has wrinkles and his face is sagged.
Moreover, his cell was arranged like a home. There was an earthen stove inside, and something to eat was cooking in the earthen stove. There were loofahs, mushrooms, and some cabbage growing in one corner, and some cabbage on the wall.
There are four slots in the dig, with chopsticks, bowls, and a little salt in them. The most important thing is that in another corner, a pit is dug, which is where he relieves himself.
There is also a bed made of dirt, with some hay placed on the bed and a tattered quilt on it. At the head of the bed are three pieces of tattered clothes neatly folded together.
Seeing this, Zhou An was speechless. Human abilities are infinite. In such a difficult situation, he can arrange the cell like this. This old man in prison is really awesome.
And it seems like this old man must have lived here for a long time.
"Old man, do you want to go out? I can let you out." Zhou An said after realizing that the old man in front of him was just an ordinary person and did not have the slightest bit of force.
The old man raised his head and looked at Zhou An, as if he couldn't see clearly. He wiped his eyes again, took a few steps closer, and came to the cell door and said, "What did you just say? I'm old, deaf, and have bad eyesight."
, so I didn’t hear it.”
"I'm here to rescue you and take you out." Zhou An said loudly.
"The one who saved me? Did the Sirius Gang fall? This day has finally arrived after decades. It's just that I'm like this. I can't do anything if I go out. I might as well stay here and spend the rest of the years.
"The old man was very happy when he heard that Sirius had been helped to defeat him, but when he thought of his current situation, his face turned gloomy.
"Since you don't want to go out, and I won't force you, how did you get caught?" For such an ordinary person to be locked up here for decades, and not to kill him, but to keep him, there must be something going on in this, so
Zhou An asked.
"How did you get caught? Then let me tell you a little more than sixty years ago. At that time, I was twenty-five years old. I was in the prime of my life, and I learned a lot from my master.
As a stonemason, I helped many people build many stone houses, earned a lot of money, and gained a lot of fame, so I gradually became a wealthy local. Although my life was very good, my life was not good.
I was older at that time and had not yet gotten married at the age of twenty-five. My father was very anxious and found many matchmakers to introduce me to a wife..."
"Wait a minute, we are waiting for you to talk about how we were caught here. Why are you talking about this?" Jiang Chengjiao interrupted the old man.
"What I said is exactly how I got in. If I didn't say the above, how could you understand me." The wrinkles on the old man's face trembled and his eyes widened.
"I think it's quite interesting, please continue talking." Zhou An said with a faint smile.
"This young master is still sensible." Although the old man's eyes and ears were not good, he still had the ability to observe people's emotions. He saw at a glance that Zhou An was the leader of the two, and immediately said in a flattering manner.
"You go on." Zhou An said.
"I seem to be talking about marriage." The old man murmured and continued: "Although the matchmaker has introduced many women, I always look down on them and they never meet the standards of my sweetheart. That's it.
It took a year, but when I was frustrated, the matchmaker gave me a portrait of a woman. The moment I saw the portrait, I knew that my true love had come, but the woman was not in this village, but in
The village of Biezhuo, dozens of miles away, was too far away and she was only a woman, so she couldn't go on a blind date with me. I had no choice but to take a carriage and go to Biezhuo Village to meet her."
Speaking of this, the old man's face was very disappointed: "But when my carriage reached the foot of Yingzui Cliff, a group of people robbed us and took me to the Sirius Gang. Originally, they wanted to kill me.
But they somehow knew that I was a famous stonemason, so they planned to let me rebuild the Tianlang Gang. After hearing this, I disagreed. They tortured and tortured me at first, but I didn’t give in.
, and then they promised to let me go home as long as it was completed, so I agreed."
"Later I helped them build it. It took ten years to complete the construction. On the day it was completed, I was very happy and thought I could go home, but they put me in jail.
, only now do I understand that they deceived me when they agreed to let me leave. They wanted me to build for them with all my heart, but they put me in jail without killing me. They wanted to use me to build again in the future, and they were afraid that if I left,
I spread the blueprints for building the Sirius Gang and ruined their layout, which I only thought of later."
"You mean to say that this entire city was built by you." Zhou An said with great joy that he finally found the person.
"Yes." said the old man.
"Do you know if there is any secret room in the Tianlang Gang? Take me to find it." Zhou An said eagerly.
"I do know that there is a secret room. The leader of the Sirius Gang asked me to build it in secret. Do you want to find this secret room? Yes, maybe there is a collection of the leader of the Sirius Gang in it. It is understandable that you want to find it. I will bring it with you.
You go and look for him." The old man didn't know whether he was talking to them or talking to himself. After making such a long conversation, of course Zhou An didn't pay attention and thought he was an elderly patient.
"Let's go now." Zhou An picked up the Cold Dragon Sword, cut the stone lock in half, and opened the cell door and said.
"My food hasn't been cooked yet. After I finish cooking, I'll go with you after dinner." The old man glanced at the steaming earthen stove and shook his head.
"There is no need to eat such unpalatable food. If you find the secret room for me, I will take you to eat chicken, duck and fish." Zhou An walked into the cell and pulled the old man out.
"Slow down, slow down, my old arms and legs can't stand such a torment." The old man shouted. Although the chicken, duck and fish meat that Zhou An mentioned was very tempting to him, he hadn't eaten it in decades, but after all,
He is too old to withstand such forceful tearing.
As soon as Zhou An walked out of the cell, before she had even taken a few steps, a sweet female voice came: "Brother, please let me out too. It will be very helpful for you if I come out."
Zhou An stopped and looked towards the third occupied cell. The female voice just now came from this cell. Zhou An's face became more solemn because the cell where the female voice was located was from this prison.
In the deepest and last cell, what is surprising is that a woman lives in this cell. Zhou An resists going to the secret room and walks towards this cell. He wants to see who this woman is and who he wants to imprison.
So solemn in this cell.
"Do you know who this woman is?" Zhou An asked Jiang Chengjiao and the old man.
Jiang Chengjiao shook his head and didn't know, but the old man said: "This woman was brought here a year ago. All the prison guards were very jealous of this woman. They even ignored her words when delivering food to her.
It seems like this woman is scary."
While Zhou An was listening, he came to the last cell and looked inside the cell.
There was a woman inside, but it was a little different from Zhou An's imagination. This woman was wearing country-style cotton pants and jacket, and it was also colorful, similar to those native girls in the countryside.
This is just her clothes. Looking at her face, people are very surprised and beautiful when they see it. Her beauty is mainly reflected in her charm and enchantment. Zhou An secretly exclaimed that she is a beauty in the world.
Although she was wearing the most tacky clothes, her appearance made people's hearts flutter and they couldn't help but fall under her pomegranate skirt.
