The people present were all recently recruited workers, and most of them still trusted Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu. After all, they had earned a lot of wages during this period.
I knew at first that I was digging mountains to build roads, and that there were dangers. So even though I was scared when the accident happened, I also felt that I couldn't blame my employer.
"Rescue people first, and we'll talk about the rest later! After all, it's the village owner and his wife who allow us to live a good life. We can't be ungrateful if something happens to us!"
The sensible people in the crowd shouted loudly, which aroused everyone's emotions.
"Yes, save people first!"
"Save people, save people!"
Everyone started to take action in a hurry.
Before Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu came, people close to Wu Yue were already trying to dig out the entrance of the cave. However, people were not united. When digging the entrance of the cave, it did not have much effect. They just moved some easily moved objects.
The small stones were moved away, but the big stones that fell at the entrance of the cave could not be moved.
Now that everyone was on the move, and with the tools they had handy, everyone dug out the rocks much faster.
As for Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu, they looked at each other, and then Shangguan Yu pulled a vine from the side of the cave, carried Bai Ling up, and flew onto the huge rock yesterday.
Walking from the boulder to the inside, the two of them checked the environment above, and it seemed that there was no difference from what they had seen last night.
"Ling'er, the vegetation here has not changed, and the rocks are stable as usual. The collapse of the ground should have nothing to do with this place." Shangguan Yu carefully examined the cracks between the rocks, and then came to a conclusion.
He was previously worried that the hurricane between the rocks last night caused rockfall, but now it seems that there have not been any big changes on the upper level, let alone the underground of the cave.
"Then why did the ground collapse? Could it be that there is something underground?" Bai Ling thought, full of doubts in his heart. At this time, Xiao Hong struggled a few times in the cloth bag, and his head popped up, shaking his chubby head.
The body flew out and landed on Bai Ling's shoulders.
"Woooooooo..."
"Xiaohong, do you know something?" Bai Ling held Xiaohong in his arms and lowered his head to ask.
"Secret room, secret room!"
"Secret room? You mean, there is a secret room down here?"
"Under the bed!" Xiaohong nodded and continued.
After saying that, he suddenly flew towards the hut with his fleshy wings flashing. Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu looked at each other, and then they followed together.
Despite her fat appearance, Xiao Hong could fly quite quickly. When Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu caught up with her, she was already waiting by the bed.
"Could it be under this bed?" Thinking of what Xiao Hong said just now, Bai Ling couldn't help but say.
"Open it and you'll find out!" Shangguan Yu said, grabbing one end of the wooden bed and pulling it back. The wooden bed moved away, exposing the floor below.
The floor under the bed is different from the indoor floor. It has obviously been carefully decorated, and a layer of slate has been laid on it. The wooden bed was moved outside the cabin by Shangguan Yu, so that the space of the entire room appears much larger, mainly because
For convenience, the stone slab under the bed was lifted up.
When Xiaohong saw the stone slab, she jumped down from Bai Ling's arms and ran around on it for a few times. Then she seemed to find a gap in the stone and quickly dug it with her mouth.
It didn't seem like much effort, but the stone slab instantly cracked. With a "pop" sound, the stone slab shattered, and the handle of the wooden door below was exposed.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Bai Ling instantly felt that the chubby little red was even cuter.
"Xiao Hong, you are so awesome, I'll reward you!" Bai Ling threw a ginseng stick to Xiao Hong as a snack.
Xiaohong accepted it without politeness and started eating obediently.
Shangguan Yu cleaned up the broken stone slabs and completely revealed the door below. There was no lock on the door, only a handle, but Shangguan Yu was not in a hurry to open it.
"Ling'er, stand aside to avoid any traps inside. If there is an accident, protect yourself!"
"Shangguan, be careful." Bai Ling stood aside obediently, but his eyes always stayed on Shangguan Yu.
Xiaohong was burping at this time, ran a few steps, flew up and landed on Bai Ling's shoulder.
Shangguan Yu stretched out his hand and opened the door panel, but there was nothing unusual: "Ling'er, I want to come..."
Before Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he heard a "bang" from inside the door panel, and then two black arrows shot out from inside. Fortunately, Shangguan Yu even dodged and was not hit by the arrows.
But another arrow unexpectedly shot in the direction of Bai Ling. Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yu took out a soft whip and instantly knocked the black arrow away, allowing Bai Ling to escape the disaster.
At this moment, Xiao Hong, who was standing on Bai Ling's shoulder, seemed to be startled, and hurriedly got into Bai Ling's arms. Bai Ling comforted it before putting it back into the bag.
Shangguan Yu held his breath and concentrated, making sure that there was no more danger behind the wooden door, then he took a torch and prepared to go down to have a look. When the torch was lit, he could see a winding staircase leading underground. The entrance space was small, so Shangguan Yu didn't want Bai Ling to go down.
He took risks, but in the end he still couldn't defeat her.
He had to go down first, and Bai Ling followed behind.
"Ling'er, you can stand in the space below, but the road is too narrow. Be careful when you come down. I will follow you." After Shangguan Yu went down the stairs, he said to Bai Ling worriedly.
Bai Ling's body was much smaller, so he walked quite smoothly. Following the light in front, he quickly joined Guan Yu. This is a step in the winding part of the stairs, where two people can stand.
Shangguan Yu took a torch and looked down. There was another such step not far away, about two or three meters away in the middle.
There seemed to be cliffs on both sides of the stairs, and it was unclear how deep it was below, which made people feel a little bit scared.
Shangguan Yu felt that it was too dangerous to follow Bai Ling like this, so he decided to go down and take a look first, so he took out a rope, fixed it at the top, tied the other end to himself, and then jumped down to the bottom.
On the steps.
"Shangguan, how are you? Are you okay down there?" Bai Ling stood above, watching him fly up and down, with his heart in his throat.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he lengthened the rope and jumped several times before reaching the flat ground. After a rough estimate of the distance, he pulled the rope and flew up. After a few jumps, he returned to Bai Ling's side.
"Ling'er, my husband will take you down and hold you tight!" Shangguan Yu held Bai Ling in his arms and warned him. After saying this, he pulled the rope and jumped down with Bai Ling.
