009 What you are looking forward to is coming
It turned out that Xiao Hei's sister had participated in the draft last year, but she was gone, and her life and death were uncertain. None of the wounded and dead rescued by the Royal Forest Army were his sister, and his sister's whereabouts became an unsolvable mystery, so he decided to come to the mass grave to look for him. I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death, and I can't let my sister disappear like this.
This was the longest conversation between Xiao Hei and Shen Yan'er. Although he explained the reason for his participation in the draft, he still didn't mention the identities of himself and his sister, and it seemed that he still kept a little wary of Shen Yan'er.
If Shen Yan'er pursues relentlessly, digging into the root of the problem may arouse his dissatisfaction. Shen Yan'er, who knew how to accept it when she saw it, only listened to him quietly, nodded in response from time to time, held back the questions that were boiling in her stomach, and gritted her teeth and did not ask questions.
"As long as I find my sister, I'll quit the draft, so you're right, we're not in the same country. If you help me find my sister, I will try to help you as well. In just one day, getting along with each other also made Xiao Hei see a little bit of Shen Yan'er's skills, from the beginning of his silence to the current sincerity, which proves his recognition of Shen Yan'er.
As he spoke, Xiao Hei's expression suddenly became nervous, and he looked up at the top sharply. His appearance as if he was facing a great enemy frightened Shen Yan'er for a moment, and asked timidly in the sound of his heart, "What's wrong?" ”
"Something is flying over." Xiao Hei said with his head tilted. They now look like frogs sitting in a well and watching the sky, and they can only see a small space the size of the mouth of the pit. said that something flew over, but Shen Yan'er didn't see anything, tilted her head and looked puzzled.
But in the next moment, Shen Yan'er's ears also stood up. There was indeed a squeaky sound in the quiet, cold air, mixed with the sound of flapping wings.
The sounds were reflected off the stone walls in the silent tunnel, reverberating in eerie echoes. Shen Yan'er subconsciously approached Xiao Hei's side, as if this would add a sense of security.
"Ahh Suddenly, a small black shadow flew overhead, and Shen Yan'er screamed in fright. Blackie's reaction was even greater, and he had already pulled his sword out of its sheath.
However, their worries were unnecessary, and the little flying object was not interested in the two of them in the pit, and was just passing by. It disappeared in less than half a second.
Listening to the sharp "squeak" sound spread into the distance, gradually becoming blurred, and finally disappearing, Shen Yan'er let out a long breath. Blackie also put the sword back away. The two looked at each other for a moment, as if they were both condemning each other's fuss with their eyes.
However, at this time, Shen Yan'er didn't know that this was the moment when they brushed shoulders with death. It won't be long before that little flying creature turns the mass grave into a place even more terrifying than hell. There is not much time left for peace......

The conditions in the mass grave were difficult, there was no bed and no pillow, so Shen Yan'er had to lie on the hard stone slab to sleep. When she woke up, she felt that the bones in her body were about to fall apart, especially the back of the neck socket and shoulder, which was so painful that she didn't even dare to move.
Maybe a new day has arrived. However, in the cave where only the lantern is lit, you can't see the beautiful scenery of the rising sun, and when you look up, you still see the top of the stone wall that has not changed for thousands of years, and the stone pit wall that cannot be climbed is still around.
There were no living creatures passing by last night except for a small flying animal, and it seemed that Shen Yan'er's method of "waiting for rescue" was too naïve.
Although the road in the mass grave is complicated and difficult to walk, it provides a general direction for the interlocutors, that is, "down", so most of the show girls are just getting lost and going around in circles in the process of moving forward, and will not go back. A pitiful little person like Shen Yan'er, who was trapped and unable to move less than half a day after just coming in, is only a minority of the few.
"Miss, let's have something to eat." Jane handed over a piece of tortilla. She has been serving Shen Yan'er's daily life since she was a child, and it is her duty to supervise Shen Yan'er's three meals a day regularly and quantitatively, even if she enters the mass grave, it has not changed at all.
"We're going out today anyway, we can't wait any longer." Shen Yan'er took a big bite of the tortilla as she spoke, but after chewing it in her mouth for a long time, she couldn't swallow the dry and hard cake.
Ah Zhen saw that she was really choked, and hurriedly handed over the kettle. Shen Yan'er took a big sip of "grunt", and finally swallowed the cake down her throat.
Shen Yan'er pounded her choked esophagus with her fist, and her tears were choked out. "The food dries so quickly in this place that we can't eat the dry food we prepared for long." If this continues, the dry cakes they brought will be hard to stone tomorrow.
In another corner, more than ten steps away from them, Xiao Hei was leaning against the pit wall and nibbling on a flatbread. Mouthful after mouthful, swallowing without the slightest hindrance, and without water. Its survivability is so strong, the true religion of Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen opened their eyes and was willing to bow down.
Seeing Xiao Hei feasting, Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen also worked hard to stuff food. After a while, Xiao Hei looked up at the mouth of the pit suddenly, and suddenly froze with a lump of unswallowed food in his cheeks, as if he sensed something.
Xiao Hei is like an early warning and detector for Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen. Once he was on alert, it was a sign that there must be some danger looming.
"Someone's coming." Xiao Hei, who had been staring at the mouth of the pit for a long time, suddenly got up, swallowed the food in his mouth, and returned the remaining half of the cake to Ah Zhen. Food is precious and cannot be wasted, and Shen Yan'er, who runs a restaurant at home, cast an approving look at him.
Shen Yan'er, who had already eaten, stood up, followed Xiao Hei's gaze, and also looked in the direction of the pit, and said with some excitement: "Is there anyone?" That's great! Hurry up and get her to come and save us. "Even if there is little hope of the other side coming to the rescue, it is worth trying, because there is no other way for them to do it now.
Xiao Hei is a stunned goose, fighting and brawling, monitoring the enemy situation can still be entrusted to deal with such things, but communicating with people, calling for help and pretending to be pitiful depends on Shen Yan'er's skills.
Seeing that Xiao Hei was silent, Shen Yan'er, who was worried about missing the rescue, jumped and shouted: "Hey, the girl who passed by!" We've fallen into a pit, save us—"
This trick really worked, and even Shen Yan'er heard footsteps walking in their direction.
"We're here, we're here—" Shen Yan'er continued to lead the way for the "rescuers" with her shouts. After a while, she saw a figure appear at the mouth of the pit.
"Girl, do you have a rope?" Shen Yan'er waved excitedly to the figure.
However, to her surprise, the figure did not stop at the edge of the pit, but stepped in directly.
Immediately followed by a dull sound of "bang", the figure smashed into the feet of Shen Yan'er and Xiao Hei like a sandbag.
