Author: Looking at the beauty after crossing the water

"Xiao Geng, what are you doing standing at the door?"

"I..." Zhang Yi put his hands behind his back and sprinkled the dust from his hands, "Foreman Zhou asked me to wait here for you to come back. Come in quickly."

"oh."

The two of them took a look at their senior brother's room, saw that the lights were still on, and looked at each other.

"Xiao Geng, why are you looking so pale? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Then go back to bed quickly and let's lock the door."

Wuzi signaled Zhang Yi to go first.

"There's no rush, my legs are a little numb, there's no rush to go back."

Not only were his legs numb, but his heels were also weak. If it weren't for his back leaning against the doorpost, Zhang Yi would have wanted to sit on the ground right now.

"you……"

Wuzi hesitated to speak and could only look at Jiang Ping.

At this time, Zhang Yicai noticed that Wuzi seemed to be carrying something behind his back.

"Let's do it together, don't hide it, no one will want to eat it if others find it."

Seeing that he refused to leave, Jiang Ping turned around and closed the door first, then pulled Zhang Yi to the corner.

Wuzi reluctantly curled his lips and took out an oil paper bag with three meatloaf inside.

"Here you go, eat it quickly and don't talk nonsense when you get back."

Wuzi stuffed the sesame cake into Zhang Yi's hand.

He took out the remaining two, divided them with Jiang Ping, squatted on the ground and ate them.

Meat is added to the sesame seed cakes, which are then deep-fried in an oil pan. When you take one bite, they are crispy and oily.

Zhang Yi took two bites and felt tired of it, so he tore off half of it and divided it equally between Wu Zi and Jiang.

"You didn't meet anyone when you came back, right?"

Zhang Yi asked casually when he saw that the two of them were enjoying their meal.

"No, but there are rumors outside that Mrs. Qing is back." Wu Zi took a bite of the pancake and said.

"Sister-in-law Qing is just fooling people, don't listen to their nonsense." Jiang Ping glared at Wuzi.

"But the rumors are very strong outside. Let's open the box tomorrow night. Do you think anyone will come to see it? I've been eating boiled cabbage for a month. If the team has no income, I can't hold on."

Wu Zi calculated on his fingers that the last time he ate meat was when the class leader celebrated his birthday, and there was a little bit of shredded meat in the leftover rice.

"You're just a greedy person, so stop talking nonsense and remember to wash your mouth clean later. Xiaodouzi's nose is as sharp as the class leader's dog. He can smell the smell of meatloaf in your mouth with certainty."

After the three of them finished eating the meat pie, Jiang Ping took the three of them to a well. Wuzi and Zhang Yi shook the windlass and fetched a bucket of well water.

"Wow, wow..."

The cold water drops splashed on the face, and the cool night breeze blew, and the whole person became more energetic.

But thinking about Jiang Ping who had just pushed him out, his legs were still a little weak.

If it hadn't been for the heart amulet, I might have died at the door just now.

This is not like asking me to redress her grievances.

Zhang Yi sat by the wellhead, looking at the huge yard in front of him, not knowing what to do next.

"Let's go, let's go! Go back to sleep."

Jiang Ping drank a sip of well water, patted his belly with satisfaction, and called Wu Zi and Zhang Yi to go back to sleep.

Zhang Yizheng was about to stand up when he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back, as if something was pulling on him.

Looking back, he saw a familiar face at the entrance of the well, winking at him.

"Xiao Geng? Are you leaving?"

"Oh, you go back first, I'll sit here and get some air."

"Okay, be careful not to be seen by the class leader, otherwise I will give you a stick."

"knew."

After the two left, Zhang Yi turned around and looked at Dai Moli in the well, reaching out to pull her up.

"Why are you hiding in here? Where's the thermos cup?"

"have no idea."

Looking at Zhang Yi's outstretched hand, Dai Moli had no intention of climbing out. She just lowered her voice and said, "Find a way to get out of here quickly. This place is too dangerous."

"I know, but I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Zhang Yi told what happened when he was attacked just now.

"I dare not say now whether the person who approaches me next time will be a human or a ghost. Is there anything you can do?"

Dai Moli frowned: "This place is not the underworld, it is more like a cage that has been modified by someone. If we don't run out, we will all be doomed."

"Cage? Is it different from last time?"

"It's different. Last time, you stumbled into the underworld by mistake.

This place is not like the underworld. From the moment I entered, I felt something was wrong.

It’s useless even if you escape from the troupe, you might die if you walk out of the troupe.”

Dai Moli's words reminded Zhang Yi of the guy who had just pretended to be Jiang Ping, and he kept urging him to go out.

"You mean, if you want to escape, the exit is not outside, but inside the troupe."

Dai Moli nodded, but she didn't know exactly where.

"Okay, I'll find a way to find him as soon as possible. Do you want to stay here forever?"

"I'll hide here first. There's well water down there. It's very safe. You can find a container tomorrow and pour more well water into it. If you encounter danger, just pour the water out and call my name."

"good!"

Zhang Yi nodded and took notes. Dai Moli had the ability to escape through water. As long as she touched water, she could teleport within a certain range.

The theater is not big, so as long as you don't leave the theater, Dai Moli can come to rescue you at any time.

"Who's still up so late?"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. As soon as Zhang Yi saw someone approaching, he lowered his head and ran back dejectedly.

The room was dark, with constant snoring. He groped for the bed and climbed up. As soon as he lay down, he heard Brother Li yelling in a low voice.

"If you don't come back, I'll think you fell into the latrine."

"Huh? You haven't slept yet?"

"Sleep now."

As he spoke, Brother Li turned over and soon began to snore.

Zhang Yi didn't want to put the quilt on the bed, but after thinking about it, he still put the quilt on his body.

He curled up his hands and feet under the quilt, not because he was cold, but because it made him feel more secure.

Zhang Yi naturally couldn't sleep that night, but fortunately he didn't stay up too long. At about four o'clock in the morning, everyone started to get up rubbing their eyes.

There are nearly a hundred people in the troupe, and just eating takes a lot of time.

Before dawn, we have to light a fire to cook.

"Eh, ah, oh, um..."

For the apprentices in the team, the first thing they do when they get up is to stand in the yard and open their voices.

The meal was just two mouthfuls of gruel. After eating, I had to practice martial arts.

Those who study literature should walk their steps and speak loudly.

Those who learn martial arts have to do somersaults and do some tricks.

Then I learned opera from the master teacher, and when I was almost done, I still had to rehearse the opera.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi is a handyman, so there is no need for him to suffer this crime.

But handymen also have handyman jobs.

You can't escape by making tea and pouring water.

Zhang Yi carried two thermos bottles and shuttled between several old masters, looking around from time to time.

If the exit is in the theater, where should it be?

"Xiao Geng, add some water."

The class leaders were sitting on the Taishi chairs drinking tea and waved to Zhang Yi.

"good."
