"There are only two huozhezi in total. I used one just now. I originally planned to save this one for emergency use."
Su Yizhao answered while looking at the surrounding environment.
He looked around and could see the whole thing at a glance.
The space is not large, rectangular in shape, only about the size of a hall.
It can accommodate twenty-eight of them, which is a bit crowded.
She took another look at the stone door in front of her that was closed more than half way. The bottom was full of broken bricks and stones.
There is a large stone blocking most of the place. It is piled up outside and cannot be pushed at all.
"I think it's better to dig rocks! More people are more powerful. Let's clear those small rocks into the secret passage first. The more we dig, the fewer the rocks. It should be possible to find a thin person to climb out and move the reinforcements."
One person said, and then his eyes turned to Su Yizhao. Su Yizhao was the thinnest here, so it shouldn't be a problem to climb out.
"No, the top has collapsed. Even if we pick up small stones into the secret passage, the stones will continue to fall, which will only make us exhausted. The secret passage is so big, and the twenty-eight of us are already very big.
It's crowded. More and more rocks are piled up, how can we possibly put them down?" Su Yijue shook his head.
"I don't agree with it either. This will only make the blockage worse."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Seeing that there was going to be another quarrel, Su Yizhao said quickly: "Everyone! Since this is a secret passage, it is for escape. There cannot be only one exit for escape. After all, accidents like this may still happen."
Su Yizhao's words suddenly made everyone realize, and they immediately ignited hope in their hearts.
"However, the most important thing right now is to find another exit mechanism."
Su Yizhao shook the fire stick in his hand and said, "This is the last one. Everyone should act quickly and find the mechanism first."
In fact, she had another worry in her mind. What should she do if the other exit was also blocked by rocks?
"That's fine!"
With a solution, everyone stopped arguing and acted independently.
"But you can see the corners here at a glance. There are no decorations on the four walls. Is there really any mechanism?" Someone looked at the surrounding walls and questioned.
"Then it's up to us to touch it inch by inch. With more people, we have greater strength. It's better to divide the areas into separate areas. This can save time."
Then Su Yizhao made a plan, "Eight people will search for the four corners, and the rest will be separated by almost the same distance. Be sure to search carefully and press with your hands."
Everyone couldn't wait to stand up and take action according to Su Yizhao's words.
"When touching the wall, you must pay attention to safety and don't be touched by anything poisonous. If you are wearing a veil, wrap your hand with the veil and touch it. If you don't have a veil, you can use your sleeve instead."
Su Yizhao saw that everyone had already started, and then he found a corner and joined the action.
"Check the corners and easily marked places carefully. After all, if the owner doesn't mark it, it will definitely not be easy for him to find it. Don't look for places that are too high. Let's put ourselves in his shoes. It must be convenient for the owner."
Su Yizhao touched the wall as he spoke. The wall under his palm was not smooth, but rather uneven, more like it was made of stones.
Su Yizhao held up the fire folding piece and touched it with concentration.
"Everyone, please knock. If there is a mechanism, it may be hollow." Su Yijue warned, looking quite experienced.
Everyone searched for a full quarter of an hour and found nothing unusual.
On ordinary days, a quarter of an hour is so short, but under such circumstances, a quarter of an hour becomes so long.
"It's such a big place, we've searched everywhere, but we haven't found anything." Someone couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"I haven't found it yet. Maybe the mechanism is up there?"
"I don't think it's possible. This should be a secret passage for escape. For the sake of convenience, it's impossible to put the trap up there."
"Then what should we do? We have searched everything, maybe there is no mechanism at all. The only way out is blocked, we can't get out."
Some candidates couldn't help crying, and slight sobs sounded in the secret passage.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the sound of sobbing became increasingly clear.
Among the piles of ruins, a small figure shuttled among them.
When it poked its head out from under a broken brick, it was extremely disappointed.
"Nothing at all?"
It got into another pile of rubble, and after a while, it leaned forward and licked its bleeding paws with its tongue.
Two lines of tears kept rolling down from the corners of its eyes, "No, Su Yizhao, where have you been?"
It was so heartbroken that it couldn't bear to regret it. If it had known better, it shouldn't have gone outside the house for fun.
If it followed Su Yizhao to Gongyuan, would it not have to be separated from Su Yizhao?
Xiangsi lay on the ground and whimpered. After a moment, it suddenly raised its head.
"That's right! You can go find that person and ask him to help."
Thinking like this, Xiangsi quickly ran away.
Today's palace is as quiet as ever. Xiangsi was exhausted after entering the palace.
But it still quickly ran to the familiar places, but the prince was nowhere to be found in those places.
Dragging his tired body around the palace, he also asked other rat brothers in the palace to inquire, but the prince was not in the palace at all.
"Why aren't you here again? What should I do?" Xiangsi couldn't help crying.
Little Orange heard a sharp squeak, and he couldn't help but rushed over curiously.
When he saw a small animal that looked like a squirrel lying on the ground with tears falling down, he couldn't help but feel strange.
"Ouch! This squirrel can still cry? This is the first time I've seen it."
Xiangsi raised her head and glared at him, then raised her paws and screamed at him wildly. However, while Little Orange felt confused, she also found it extremely interesting.
Just when he was about to step forward and catch the little guy, Xiangsi disappeared in a flash.
"Huh? Don't leave! Give you something good to eat."
"Maybe we are really going to die here. There is no way they can find this place."
"Yes! It's so hidden here, how could they find it?"
Everyone started talking to each other, and negative emotions spread in everyone's hearts.
After staying in the dark for too long, even Su Yijue couldn't help but feel depressed and wondered what happened to her parents.
He must have been very anxious when he heard the news about the fire in Gongyuan. It was a pity that he might not have the chance to reunite with his parents.
Then there were endless sounds of crying, praying, regret, and annoyance.
However, Su Yizhao turned a deaf ear to these. Her hand was suddenly cut by a sharp point, and her fingertips immediately bled.
"Hiss~"
Su Yizhao quickly moved the Huozhezi closer and found that there was something unusual about the uneven area.
"Fifth Brother, come and take a look, this seems to be a sculpture."
