Chapter 685: Long Buried Underground
After more than ten days of finding an accessible hole, they finally dug a passage.
Everyone cheered, thinking that the road home was not far away, but it turned out to be an abandoned passageway, and when they entered it, there was nothing in it.
It's really just an empty passage, not to mention any gold and silver treasures.
It's just that this road should be connected to other places, so after discussing with his subordinates, Zheng Jingyi decided to continue digging deeper, otherwise he would dig another hole when the time came, and I don't know how long and what month he would dig again.
The Tufuzi was a very experienced man, and said that they connected this passage to other places, and it was true.
Three days later, another place was opened, it was another passage, but the air was thin inside, apparently no one had entered it for many years, and there were only a few paw prints of rats on the ground.
It turned out to be an empty passage, still the same as before, with nothing in it.
For the next few days, they continued to dig around, and as a result, they opened through a number of passages, which were already dotted like cobwebs.
It was supposed to be a man-dug tunnel, but how could there be nothing? It was like a tunnel dug by idleness.
Zheng Jingyi sometimes wonders if the treasure has been dug up long ago, this result is not impossible, but very likely.
It's a pile of gold, silver, and jewelry, and who wouldn't be tempted to leave it in ashes for more than ten years?
When he heard that the treasure was still there, he had doubts in his heart, but in fact, not having it was a normal result, and it was strange to be able to dig it.
Zheng Jingyi and Wang Kaizhi said what they thought in their hearts, and Wang Kai also muttered in his heart, but he didn't approve of leaving so hastily, after all, so many people came with great effort, and it took so much effort to dig a hole, and it was too child's play to leave so casually.
It's better to stay a few more days, in case there is really nothing, the emperor does not look at merit but also hard work, and if there is no merit, it is not considered to have a fault!
And it's not necessarily necessary to go back in a hurry, in case the treasure is really dug up by the people behind, they will lose their faces, and they can't explain it, so it's right to continue.
Zheng Jingyi is right when he thinks about it, Wang Kaizhi is worthy of being a civil official, this brain is a good one, it's a big deal to stay a few more days and be a mouse underground!
At this time, he felt that Su Manman knew the benefits of beast language, if he sent out a group of rat army, not to mention the treasure, even a few stones in the ground could be pulled clearly, where is the use of this effort now, digging a pit, and sleeping in the wild, these days, he has not slept soundly for a day.
The winter season here is not without deep winter, and the temperature here also drops every day, so that the cotton clothes prepared by everyone will come in handy immediately, and I don't know how big the snow here is.
Su Manman was worried about Zheng Jingyi, why didn't Zheng Jingyi miss Su Manman, he just wanted to work harder now, so that he could go back sooner and see his sweetheart, and he really missed the days when the two of them combined their swords to explore together.
Not to mention, they were really right in what they insisted on, because they really dug up something for them, but it wasn't right either, because they were buried......
They were in a small secret room, dodging many traps, only to find some treasures.
Originally, they were tired of dealing with those mechanisms, but then somehow they heard a boom, and the hole collapsed.
So many tunnels have made the load-bearing of the mountain worse, and now they have opened up this place, plus a little human factor, the mountain collapsed, and it was only a few days before the New Year.
So Zheng Jingyi and Wang Kai were pressed into the secret room, guarding a pile of treasures to survive.
But those treasures are not all, they should be only a small part of them, even if it is really money, it is useless, they cannot get out, the food and water on hand are limited, and those gold, silver and jewels cannot be eaten.
After a few days of hard work on what they had at hand, they were so hungry that they went around catching rats and the roots of the big trees, and they finally did not starve to death.
But they have no way to get out, so they can only dig holes every day, hoping that the passage will be opened one day sooner to get out, and someone outside is also trying to save them out!
On this day of the New Year, everyone was extremely depressed, and there was no way to pass the news of the closure of the door in the north with heavy snow, so they could only find their own way.
Because it was a secret mission, all the people brought were Qilinwei and some soldiers, so I could only find some cronies and bring them up the mountain to continue digging.
It's not a joke that the ground is freezing this day, the land is more than twice as hard, and I don't know what year or month it will take to dig up, even the centipede face is a little desperate outside, and when the tunnel is opened, all the bones that won't be dug out are white bones, can his head still be alive at that time?
Originally, he didn't need Zheng Jingyi to go down in person, but he couldn't be an uncle on it, young people have a strong sense of responsibility, and they always feel that they can be more popular by taking the lead, so he will occasionally follow a piece down, but this time he will go unlucky, he can't come up, and he even gnaws the roots of the tree below for the New Year:
"I don't know if the fat girls are eating dumplings, it must be the stuffing that grandma made herself, the taste is ...... There's really nothing to say, tsk!" Zheng Jingyi couldn't stop salivating when he thought of Wang's craftsmanship, he didn't know that Su Manman had returned to his hometown for the New Year because of an accident.
"Don't talk about it, it's good to have roots to gnaw on, it will make you even hungrier!"
Wang Kaizhi sat on the side with a disgraced face, it stands to reason that he shouldn't come down as a civil official, but didn't he hear that the treasure appeared, why did he have to come down and take a look, this only glanced at it, and buried himself in the mound, and it may be buried forever, there is no one more unlucky than him.
Fortunately, there were piles of stones around the tunnel, and occasionally there was a slight gap in the upper part of the tunnel, otherwise they would have suffocated to death without even air.
The two brothers and sisters spent a very unforgettable New Year here, and even though their faces were covered with dust and their clothes were full of rags, they still held out the faint hope that perhaps they would be able to see the sun in the sky tomorrow.
For their news, not many people in the outside world know, and the capital has not received any letters, which is unbelievable if it is according to the usual years, but this year's wind and snow are too big, and everything is blocked, and it is normal to not know.
