Although there were many people behind him, Bai Ling still felt empty inside. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
"Er Zhu, where are you? I'll shout again. If you still don't agree, I will make peace with you. You will never see me again in this life!"
The second pillar's daughter-in-law was crying and in agony. She had always had such a temperament, and it would not be surprising to anyone.
However, everyone was already very anxious, and hearing her yell non-stop made them even more upset.
"From Erzhu's family, why can't you hope that your family's Erzhu will be well?"
Some people were very dissatisfied with Erzhu's daughter-in-law's impatient character, so they pointed it out directly and said a few words to her.
Since then, Erzhu's daughter-in-law felt even more aggrieved.
She cried even harder!
On weekdays, there are two pillars by her side, so no matter what she does, she doesn't have to worry too much. Even if the sky falls, there are two pillars holding her up.
She couldn't live without Erzhu at all.
At this moment, she was totally confused.
"That's right, you're anxious, you're worried about your man. Are we all made of stone? Aren't we worried?" There was a woman with a bad temper who didn't give any face to the second pillar's daughter-in-law. She just said
He started shouting, "What's the point of crying here? It's just causing trouble for people, it's of no other use!"
This indeed makes sense, and many people agree with what this woman said.
Although Erzhu's daughter-in-law felt aggrieved in her heart, she was not a person who only knew how to act mischievously. She wiped her tears, stopped making any noise, and followed everyone forward, shedding tears silently alone.
Bai Ling had no intention of listening to the women and children arguing here. She believed that Shangguan Yu and his party would be safe and sound, and naturally she didn't want to hear anyone say depressing words.
"If you are willing to find someone, follow me. If you don't want to go, just turn around and go home!" Bai Ling's expression was calm, but his voice sounded a little cold, "I believe that none of you want anything to happen to your family and cry.
If the problem cannot be solved in time, it will only reduce confidence. I hope you know what to do."
Her words were not directed at the second pillar daughter-in-law, she just wanted everyone to become stronger. Women are not inferior to men, and women can still hold up the sky.
Especially at this time, all the young people in the village followed Shangguan Yu into the mountains, and the only ones left were the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as women.
Therefore, they cannot retreat no matter what.
After hearing Bai Ling's words, Erzhu's wife stopped sobbing.
"Miss Bai is right, we women are no worse than men. Usually, they are the ones who take care of us. This time, no matter what, we have to rescue them, so that they can see how powerful our women are.
"
Within a few words, everyone gained confidence, even the second pillar's daughter-in-law.
"Okay, I won't cry anymore. When I rescue Erzhu, let's see who dares to look down on me in the future." She rubbed her eyes and wiped away the last drop of tears.
The group of people continued to move forward. They were confident that they would be able to find the person and take everyone home safely.
When people gain confidence, their steps become much calmer.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but Bai Ling suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from not far away. What she heard was not very real, it seemed to be there.
"Everyone, please stop moving and listen carefully!" Bai Ling made a "silence" gesture, and her eyes suddenly became brighter.
As long as there is a little clue, she can't give up.
Moreover, she always believed that Shangguan Yu would be fine. Maybe they were just stumbling over something and couldn't move away for the time being.
The others stopped for a moment and did not make any more noise.
The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that the only sound was people's breathing.
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully.
Sure enough, they heard sounds coming from underground.
"Is there... a ghost here?" Some people were so frightened that they stepped back, feeling that something was very wrong.
Someone immediately retorted: "Where are the ghosts? The kind of life we lived before was called a life without humans and ghosts!"
Bai Ling ignored them and walked forward following the source of the sound. Every step was very heavy.
She didn't know what was waiting for her, so she calmed down as much as possible and stopped herself from thinking wildly.
When she got closer, she saw a large depression in front of her. The soil was soft, as if it had just sunk in recently.
"They...they shouldn't have fallen to the ground!"
Others also followed. Some looked at the depression in the ground in surprise, touched the fresh soil, and said with puzzled and surprised expressions.
Combined with the voice just now, Bai Ling felt that what she said should be right.
There are so many people who just disappear when they say they are not there. It is impossible for them to disappear out of thin air!
Bai Ling was willing to believe in this possibility, which could at least prove that Shangguan Yu and his party were still alive. At least, those voices just now were the best proof.
"Everyone, listen to me. Let's find tools to dig. They must be down there. As long as we dig fast enough, we can rescue them."
Bai Ling asked everyone to disperse to find usable tools. When no one was paying attention, she ducked into the space, took out some old iron tools, and returned to the weed jungle.
After a while, she pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Everyone, come here quickly, I see shovels and hoes..."
Everyone stepped forward one after another and saw the rusty iron tools. Each of them was more surprised than anyone else. No one expected that there would be tools here.
Someone was about to ask the reason, but Bai Ling said directly: "It can only be said that we are lucky. This may have been used by someone before and was left here, and we happened to catch up with it."
With this statement, others did not continue to struggle.
Having tools is always better than digging by hand. Everyone joins in and digs hard.
At this moment, Shangguan Yu was also digging non-stop. Their group encountered a mountain landslide, and no one was spared. They all fell into the ground.
Fortunately, everyone is still alive at the moment. Although they are more or less injured, they are not fatal.
"Don't give up, everyone, we will definitely be able to get out!" Shangguan Yu's lips were dry, and he kept encouraging everyone.
In addition, he discovered something unusual underneath. If he guessed correctly, there was coal underground. He had already checked it and found that the surrounding soil was very soft, and the texture was very different from ordinary soil.
No matter how difficult it is, he will lead everyone out of here. (To be continued)
