清晨的陽光尚未灑滿庭院，袁府的婢女們早已開始了一天的忙碌。霧氣繚繞，竹林間泛著微濕的清涼氣息，遠處幾聲鵲鳴輕響，彷彿在為這座深宅大院的靜謐點綴一些熱鬧。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6uSAMqgeu

大喬與小喬早早起身，整理儀容，穿著一襲素婢衣裝，行動沉靜而俐落。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOV7YL2lE0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOohdDN4ar
「蓮兒啊，過來幫我梳個妝罷，總覺得鬢角亂了些。」劉夫人坐在妝臺前，聲音溫柔，嘴角仍舊帶著親切的笑意。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmaYGe6Yew
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTFgqSLF3m
「是，夫人。」大喬謹慎地應聲，上前輕手拿起木梳，將那一頭青絲細細理順。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUYf75xnfg
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE81B3ORvmA
「唉，年紀增長，總覺得臉色有些發黃。容兒啊，妳是不是也這麼覺得？我昨兒照鏡子，還嚇了自己一跳呢。」她語氣半真半玩笑，斜眼望著銅鏡中的自己。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6zXkbvP18
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k5HnCGKbo
小喬掩嘴輕笑，俯身行禮：「夫人日日都好氣色，是鏡子老了，不會照人。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ktWfLmD5P
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgkQd5VgHE
劉夫人笑聲清脆：「哎喲，妳這小嘴兒真會說話。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vYA2BBZKY
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cbqVzmmSd
隨即她語氣一轉，柔聲道：「容兒，府裡西側那幾間空房許久沒人住，府裡人手又忙得很，不妨妳去替我看看，簡單打點一下。那近牆邊的地方最容易落灰積塵，也容易招蚊蟲。往後若能讓賓客安心歇息也好。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjUyEFfdlt
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8GDTGGuBf
「奴婢知道了，這就過去。」小喬應聲，輕一欠身後退下，轉身時偷偷與大喬交換一個眼神。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16orozgh1X
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHcAVbBDax
這正是她們計劃中的一步：盡忠職守，換取信任，順勢探索袁府佈局與動靜。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvYt6EGHiZ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSOPVqOSH1
踏出房門，小喬沿著青石鋪就的小徑往西廂而去。此刻晨霧漸退，露珠在葉片上閃動，陽光從竹林間篩落，將她的身影拖得細長。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOIYZ0CHUG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89xj822lNw
袁府西廂地勢稍高，距主屋稍遠，院牆邊緣幾間偏廂久未有人居，屋門緊閉，四周有些枯葉與蛛網，看來確已數日無人清理。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP1y4dkt2H
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLXIYgPgZi
小喬推開其中一間房門，灰塵撲面而來，她掩口咳了兩聲，快步走入屋內，打開窗戶讓光透進來，隨即動手收拾。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rDYSRKEZB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sjxqJgp7W
她的動作輕巧，不一會便打掃得井然有序。可當她正在床榻邊鋪平被褥時，忽見一根銀白色的髮簪半陷在床下，閃著微光。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6D7K6gLer
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mIimaXcpQ
「這麼精緻……是誰落的？」她低聲自語，蹲下身去伸手想將髮簪撿出，卻發現簪子掉得極深，幾乎靠近床底最裡面。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnicUnmqAsn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW9ixDg3b4
她更深入地探手，指尖卻忽然觸到一個金屬質感的突起——像是某種拉環。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa7dhPGmNR
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjp0YTAtEa
「咦？」小喬心中微警，退後一步，起身將床榻微往旁邊推動。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkif1FEDbO
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kxGTrC2RB
待床榻移開後，微微的日光照在地上，露出一塊連著拉環的木板。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvjrazdeBT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yepU8f5cu
小喬心中一震，在確定四下無人，便伸手拉起那拉環。隨著一聲細響，木板緩緩掀起，一道幽深的通道赫然出現，幽暗中似有寒風自地下吹來，帶著一絲陰涼與潮濕。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tWyTXgq8J
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDoqpStg9o
她屏住呼吸，猶豫片刻後仍壓抑不住好奇，點燃了一旁案上燭台的殘燭，小心翼翼地踏入那密道。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBb1Xnj49U
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVbb2d2Pnh
階梯向下蜿蜒，通道狹窄，空氣潮濕，牆上斑駁石痕間散發著微弱冷光。她每一步都帶著警戒，壓抑的呼吸聲在空間中低低迴盪。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1x7meVhY3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO7aCgQtqt
終於來到底部，一個低矮的地下空間展現在眼前，牆上嵌著青石燈盞，早已熄滅。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn9z2sQZrD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8Y9dnJE3
小喬抬起燭火照明，瞳孔微縮——五塊約一人高的長方形石體，並排而列，靜靜臥於地窖中央。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU6R99MtI0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jD81AeK0X
「這是……石棺？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32XpEym99N
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg20JjPCluA
她的心跳急促起來，喉間泛起一絲寒意。她遲疑著向其中一具石棺靠近，試探性地伸手輕輕碰了碰。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIs1132nZT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnNfAi1EW2
可就在指尖觸到冰冷的石面的剎那，一股細微的刺痛從掌心傳來，像被什麼尖刺刺破，隨即是一陣惡寒自體內湧起。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f8aGX3Czq
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlasMKa2c
「這石棺上……有毒！」她心裡大驚，但還未能仔細思考，眼前便是一陣模糊，四周景象搖晃，地面彷彿在旋轉。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplkKWuvwBN
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66FdXHn63k
小喬強撐著往後退了一步，卻站立不穩，身形晃了晃，終究支撐不住，倒在冰冷的石地之上。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VxaZnoP1S
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fUgAXMg3I
燭火在地上翻滾，火光映照著那五具石棺的輪廓，也映照著她蒼白的臉色與緊閉的雙眼。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkSM89muei
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCryGvMvZDo
這時，密道中突然響起一陣腳步聲。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWVlyBvQLf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOI6a7k29k
「唉呀……我就知道，這麼個冰雪聰明的姑娘，一定會發現這個地窖。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5cbf6CBen
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM6gARIYfr
劉夫人緩步走下階梯，手中燭台搖曳，火光將她的笑容映得忽明忽暗。她那聲音依舊柔和，甚至帶著幾分惋惜，但在這空曠陰濕的地窖裡，聽起來卻比風還冷。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebmPGvHfuk
