The carriage is a big iron box with rivets and a lock on it.
He came to the box, rubbed his hands, pulled out a key from his waist, and opened the copper lock with a bang. I was waiting to see the legendary crab-like sea spider in the box, but he pushed me back.
, "Brother, stay back, stay back."
The top lid of the box he opened made a hissing sound immediately. I saw a dense layer of goose bumps on his arm holding the lid of the iron box, and the hairs stood up one by one.
I looked at the door of the box and saw nothing.
The mouth of the box is covered by a layer of net, which is covered with pearls.
"Did you see it? It's inside"
I stuck my head over, and there was a smell of fishy smell first. There was a layer of mist rolling silently under the net, and I couldn't see anything. I moved forward again, and who knew he "popped" the box?
Closed, locked, "Okay, that's it."
Holy shit, I didn’t see anything about such a huge favor.
When they set off, Liu Jiao and I had already hid under the carriage board. We squeezed down in the narrow space, not daring to speak or utter a sound. We could only see them from under the carriage board.
The horse's feet kept moving back, while eavesdropping on their conversation.
"It turns out I didn't know yet, Miss Qinghua's home is here," one person said
"Why is General Bai willing to let her leave the palace and go home? Then who will serve him?"
"I think Qinghua's female relative is pretty good. Her figure makes me want to swallow my saliva just looking at it. It's okay to say that I drank less than a bowl of water just standing there."
"What's going on?" Someone was puzzled.
"When she moves around, she's full of energy. Hey, I can't help but let go." A lewd voice said
We were down there. Liujiao knew that people outside were talking about her. He was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to have an attack, so he had to endure it.
Qinghua didn't come with her. She said her leave hadn't expired yet. When we came, we told her to leave here with her father as soon as possible, because when we leave, there will definitely be another storm in Rohatz City, causing chaos.
No, these people will expose the traces of the two of them.
Qinghua didn't know where to go, "Where can I go?"
"Well, how about you and your father go all the way south to find our large group of people?" I said to her
"If you find one, find someone named Xiaoyue, or someone called Hua, or someone named Jiang Wanqing. As soon as you mention my name, Liujiao, they will definitely take you in without saying a word." Liujiao was very enthusiastic.
I think not long after we set off, Qinghua and her father should also be ready to go.
When it got dark, we returned to Rochaz City. This time when we entered the city, we hid under the carriage and felt a different atmosphere.
The security of the city gate has been obviously increased, and the interrogation of passers-by is very strict. This small team has not been subject to too many interrogations. The leader is very familiar with the gatekeeper, and they greeted, "General Qi, are you back?"
Haven’t seen each other for almost a year?”
"No, when I came back last time, it was in May last year. No, I sent spiders to General Bai."
"Yes, yes, come in quickly." The carriage rumbled on the stone road. The leader, General Qi, said, "We haven't seen each other for a year. How come the palace has changed so much!"
"No, it seems to me like a big fire just broke out. Look, it's all blackened outside."
I quietly looked out from under the axle. We were passing through the square in front of the palace. Not far away, the White Wattle Palace stood there, with a layer of black soot above each window.
It seems that after we left, the fire here was surprisingly strong. Some people who looked like craftsmen were coming in and out of the palace gate. Some people were pushing carts and bringing stones and other materials into the palace.
However, I discovered that the direction we were traveling in was not the direction of the palace.
We were passing by the palace and heading northeast. We couldn't help but wonder, weren't they transporting sea spiders into the palace?
To the northwest of the palace is the hill that supplies water to the palace, and I haven't been here for a long time. I signaled Rokkaku to be silent. We will follow their car wherever it goes. Then everything will be adjusted accordingly.
To the northeast, it should be the industrial area of Rohatz City. The further we go in, the more realistic we can see.
There is a woodwork factory here, and there are the sounds of saws and planes, as well as the clanging of hammers. From the door of the woodworks factory, I saw many people working on something. It was tall and big, and it was already ready next to it.
It's there. When you take a closer look, the car has already passed by.
There is also an iron factory. I only hear the tinkling sound of forging iron, which seems to be very far away.
At the gate we were about to enter, only General Qi, the two sergeants, and the driver were let through, and the carriage entered.
As soon as the light dimmed, the carriage entered the tall house. I felt cold all over and shivered. Why is it so cold here? It's like a cellar.
Two sergeants came over, lifted the iron box from the car, and walked to the side. I only heard a sound of footsteps. Soon, the box was opened and locked, and there was a "crash" sound as it entered the water. They came back.
Someone finished the delivery with General Qi, and they drove out in the car.
The remaining people stood beside a row of stone pools, all covered with nets studded with pearls. One person used a wooden stick to lift a corner of the nets, looked inside, and shouted to the outside, "
Come over here and feed them. They must be hungry after walking so far."
While they were busy, Rokkaku and I had quietly jumped out of the car and hid behind a row of wooden boxes against the wall.
Two people responded, wearing blue aprons and four open cloth shoes and walking towards us. Liujiao asked me quietly, "If we are discovered, will we be fed to spiders?"
As soon as I covered her mouth, we both rubbed her back and hid it.
The two used iron bars to pry open a wooden box, took out two white-striped chickens, threw them into one of the pools, clapped their hands and walked out.
The door was closed, and when the light dimmed, the stone pools seemed to light up, and there was a light inside.
Liujia also felt the cold. She hugged her shoulders and followed me with her head bent. Finally, she hugged me directly and stayed close to me to keep warm.
We walked to the edge of the pool just now, and it was emitting a cold light. It was the same as what I saw in the palace. In this square pool were the sea spiders they had just brought, and there was movement inside!
The pearl net was tied around a fixed wooden frame and fit tightly. I followed the man's example, picked up the wooden stick he threw aside, untied a corner of the net, and used the wooden stick to open a corner of the net.
Half of the pool is water and half is a stone platform. The walls are polished so smooth that flies can slip when they stand on them.
On the stone platform are neatly arranged semi-circular nests, of different sizes, the big one is like a bowl, the small one is like the mouth of a cup. Inside each one lies a weird crab that cannot be seen clearly, no, a sea spider.
There is a layer of shiny spider silk wrapped around their bodies, and several sea spiders can be seen busy in the web. Occasionally, if they flick inside, the entire spider web will flip over.
Some of the spider silks have been wrapped very thickly and are brighter than others. These are the "night pearls" I saw in the palace.
There were more than a dozen sea spiders in the water, biting and biting a few white-striped chickens that had just been thrown in. There was a splash of water, and we only saw a few bare chicken skeletons.
The bottom of the pool is about ten feet away from Liujiao and me. We can still see the cold light in their eyes. Their round bellies are black with a trace of blood and covered with dense black and blue scales. From a distance, they look like...
It was a piece of crab shell with eight hairy claws and body hair that was half an inch long. The sight of it made Liujiaji Lingling shudder. "This thing is really disgusting," she said to me.
"Look again," I said, "I'll take care of them later." Although I still don't know what the white thorns are doing raising these sea spiders, but judging from their evil looks, I don't think they will be used for anything legitimate. Look,
Just look at Bai Jing and you’ll know it.
I took Liujiao and found the biggest sea spider in another pond! It was the only one in the whole pond.
As soon as we opened the net, it rolled into a ball, with its claws curled up tightly under its belly. With a sudden bounce, it jumped towards the entrance of the pool. It was only a foot away from the entrance of the pool. Its hook-like claws were spread out to be a foot long.
It wanted to grab the wall of the pool, but the wall was extremely smooth. It screamed "hiss" and fell back. When it was about to hit the ground, it curled up its paws again and accumulated strength on the bottom of the pool.
We were leaning over to look inside, when it jumped and almost touched our faces, and Rojia screamed in fright.
Someone outside said, "Why does it seem like there is a woman in there?"
