Chapter 268: Bury Yourself
The chaotic footsteps knocked into Li Xiaonuan's mind, and she felt that her heart was about to jump out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, Li Xiaonuan felt that everything around her was still and blurred.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Li Xiaonuan gritted her teeth and was about to walk out of the shadows.
But Xiao Si took the first step to pull Li Xiaonuan. In an instant, Li Xiaonuan's figure disappeared at the staircase.
Li Xiaonuan was about to disappear, and several people walked in front of where she was standing and went directly upstairs.
In the dark, Li Xiaonuan held her breath and didn't dare to make a sound.
She knew she was saved again. The person who saved her this time was Xiao Si. And the reason why Xiao Si appeared here was Wei Yu's arrangement.
Then, she indirectly let Wei Yu save her.
Outside, footsteps went up and down several times, and the walls of those shelves were knocked and knocked again.
Every time, when the sound of beating sounded around Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan couldn't wait to turn his back on it.
It's really this tense atmosphere, and this endless mental stimulation is too torturous.
Finally, the beating silence.
"Back to my lord, we searched up and down, and even the bottom of the corner of the wall was pried open, but we didn't find anyone."
"How is it possible, they clearly entered this corner tower. Could it be that there is a passage in this corner tower? The woman's voice rose again.
"Turn over all the corners and floors of the walls where people may be hidden, and be sure to bring them back alive." The man commanded.
And just like that, the sound of all kinds of banging and digging sounded again.
Xiao Si gently tugged on Li Xiaonuan's sleeve, and then pulled her back.
In the dark, Li Xiaonuan only felt that they were going down. The steps seemed to be very damp, probably covered with moss, and looked quite slippery.
In order not to make any sound, the two of them dug their hands deep into the damp mud wall and walked down step by step with difficulty.
I don't know how many steps I walked to, and suddenly I remembered a dull gaza sound overhead.
At this time, Xiao Si dared to whisper: "Miss Li, I sealed the entrance of the cave." There is no other exit here, but when they leave, someone else will come and dig us out. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Li Xiaonuan's mouth twitched. In this way, they can be regarded as burying themselves alive.
"Are we going to suffocate here?" Li Xiaonuan is most worried about the lack of air circulation.
"No, there are vents here, and it's not stuffy." Xiao Si returned.
That's fine, Li Xiaonuan is a little more relieved.
"My lord, we searched everywhere, but we couldn't find a single secret passage. But a lot of boulders were dug up, so I don't know if there is a secret passage under the boulder. After a clang, someone went to reply.
"Didn't you find a trace?" The man asked in a deep voice.
"Back to my lord, the sixth son is the best at tracking. But he really didn't find any trace. "Someone returned.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Did they put on their wings and fly away? They're definitely still here, keep digging, and you'll find the hole. The female voice sounded sharply, especially harshly.
"Ask Liuzi, how long will it take to chisel through such a boulder." The man continued to order.
After only a while, someone returned: "Back to my lord, the sixth son said that it will take more than three days for such a big stone to be chiseled through each piece." It is impossible to dig down from the side, because the gap between the boulders is too small to dig. ”
"Then don't dig it. When they dig into the dark tunnel, others don't know where to flee to. The man said disappointedly.
"My lord, isn't there such a thunderbolt, I just gave it to you. Can't you blow the stone apart with that thunder? The female voice asked nervously.
The woman should know very clearly that if Li Xiaonuan can really escape, then her fate will be quite tragic.
"Hmph, useless things, I can't even look at a person, what's the use of leaving you. That thunder, did you say you would blow it up? The master is still waiting to take it back to study and study it to see if he can make it. The man snorted coldly and ordered someone to pull the woman down.
"Pour more oil and burn this corner tower." The man gave a final order and led the men to withdraw.
So, Li Xiaonuan and Xiao Si underwent a long sauna in the dark and damp underground.
"Miss Li, let's go a little bit over there, there is under the lotus pond in the yard." After Xiao Si finished speaking, he pulled Li Xiaonuan's sleeve and moved over.
It was really slippery underground, and the two of them stumbled, and finally got away from the heat, but their bodies were already muddy.
"Xiao Si, did your son-in-law ask you to come to me?" After the two of them sat down on the wet ground, Li Xiaonuan asked.
I don't know what Xiao Si took out of his body, but after listening to Suo Suo for a while, the darkness was illuminated by a dim firelight.
It's a fire fold. It turned out that Xiao Si had a fire fold on his body.
"Miss Li, I remember that there are spare torches here, I'll try to light them and see if I can light them." After Xiao Si finished speaking, he took the fire fold and continued to stumble looking for the torch.
Li Xiaonuan sat on the wet and cool ground, thinking about everything today.
When he remembered Su's last glance, Li Xiaonuan's whole person was not good.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and Li Xiaonuan ran away without much thought. Su Shi was standing at the mouth of the pit, looking at her pleadingly.
Now that I think about it, if Su Shi had crawled out desperately and ran with him at that time, would he have exposed the entrance to the cave?
Wait, the female voice before, the woman who told the visitor that she came here, has she been spying on herself?
In that case, the hole was already exposed.
Before those thieves chased after them, did the little county lord succeed in escaping?
Thinking about it, Li Xiaonuan felt cold sweat all over her body.
"Miss Li, what are you thinking?" Xiao Si, who didn't know when he lit the torch inserted in the mud wall, had already sat on the edge of the mud wall about three meters away from Li Xiaonuan.
Li Xiaonuan came back to her senses when asked, and shook her head to indicate that it was okay. After that, she looked at the hole by the light of the fire.
In fact, this cave is a very simple underground cave. It was a mud hole that was dug out directly by someone and did not do any decoration.
The hole is not big, only three points in size, semi-circular. Even the steps leading to the ground are mud steps.
No wonder it was so slippery.
It's just that why it's so slippery here, Li Xiaonuan doesn't know.
"Xiao Si, how long are we going to stay here? Will anyone really come to us? Can they find us? Li Xiaonuan asked.
"Miss Li, don't worry, someone will definitely come to us. It's been burned down. Anyone who comes will surely know that we are underground. Xiao Si was not worried at all and returned.
Although Xiao Si behaved very relaxed, Li Xiaonuan was not relaxed at all. She was worried about them and wondered if they were exposed.
Maybe Li Xiaonuan shouldn't have run away impulsively at that time. She should have gone straight into the hole, and she had to be with her family in life and death.
Xiao Si seemed to have guessed Li Xiaonuan's thoughts, so he comforted him: "Miss Li, don't worry about Uncle Li. That secret passage will not be exposed to people. ”
"Really?" A glimmer of hope rose in Li Xiaonuan's heart, and asked, "How did you know that there was a hole in the ground here, and how did you know about that secret passage?" (To be continued.) )
