Chapter 50: Appearance
How long has it been?
Shao Mingqing looked at the half-dug mine, and as the mine was dug up, there was no joy, but more and more despair.
It was dark early in winter, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, night covered Mt. Yushan.
The hula-la torches are lit, and the mines are illuminated like daylight.
I haven't seen the Yushan mine so lively at night for many years, an old miner sighed, but the next moment the person in front of him walked away with the stone on his back, and he hurriedly stepped forward and began to dig the mountain stone by hand.
The collapse inside the mine is even tighter than it looks outside, and it has been completely blocked and stoned.
It's not a difficult thing to block and stone, just dig it again, the mine is not born in the first place, and it is also dug.
But, the people inside......
Shao Mingqing stretched out his hand to hold his head, and Shui Ying, who was wrapping his injured hand, was startled.
"Young master, don't move." She said.
Shao Mingqing didn't seem to hear her words.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault." He said repeatedly, clutching his head with both hands.
Blood oozing out of his hands again.
"Young Master!" Shui Ying shouted, pulling down his hand hard, "If your hands are not wrapped properly, how can you continue to dig Miss Roujia out?" ”
Old Madam Xie on the side glanced at him and sighed.
"I don't blame you, I blame her." She said, "As I said, she was here to run around herself, and she deserved it." ”
Jiang Ling's tears fell again, and he wiped them away with a bit of stubbornness, and looked at the entrance of the cave deadly.
Shao Mingqing smiled and shook his head at Old Madam Xie.
"Old lady, she didn't come here by herself." He said, his voice hoarse.
Did the Xie family drive her here?
Old Madam Xie looked at him, her back still straight after standing for nearly four hours.
"It's because I told her." Shao Mingqing said. Looking at Mrs. Xie, she stretched out her hand and pointed at herself, "If there is no good sand in the mine, the mine will not be good, and everyone will not be good, she said, there will be good sand." Old lady. She originally just ran through the mine, but now she runs into the mine every day, what is she for? For fun? ”
Shao Mingqing shook his head. Under the light of the torches, his expression was like crying and laughing.
Old Madam Xie's body slumped in an instant, and it seemed that she couldn't stand anymore, and the servants on both sides hurriedly supported her and moved her lips.
"Kind." She said in a trembling voice. "Can kindness cause trouble to others?"
Shao Mingqing shook his head.
"I didn't say good intentions are good." He said, looking at Old Madam Xie. "I only hope that if something happens to a kind-hearted person because of this kindness, her relatives will not laugh at her and deserve it."
Old Madam Xie clenched her crutches again.
"Isn't it deserved?" She said.
Shao Mingqing smiled and nodded.
"Yes. She deserves it, she doesn't stand aside to watch the excitement and watch people make a fool of themselves. You have to be nosy. He said.
Old lady Xie sighed and stomped her feet.
"Alright." Old lady Xie stomped her feet and said hurriedly. "Don't talk about this, let's save people first."
Save.
Everyone's eyes were on the mine, at the collapsed rocks.
Is there any salvation?

How long has it been?
Ah Ba raised his head and looked forward, of course, it was still dark in front of him.
He felt like a donkey pulling a mill in a mine, blindfolded, and going on and on and on.
"Squat."
A female voice came from ahead.
"There's a little hole here to climb through."
Ah Ba knelt down, feeling the protruding stones on the ground, the pain in his knees that he didn't know where to break or wear, and the sound of crawling in front of him, he didn't have any thoughts of crawling.
It's more like a donkey, let it turn and transfer, let it go, let it climb and climb.
Someone behind him grabbed his foot.
Ah Ba couldn't help but pause.
"I, I can't do it anymore." A trembling voice said in the back.
This is the younger one called Yanqi Miner.
"I, I think it's in the mountains, we're in the depths of the mountains...."he said tremblingly, breathing heavily, "....holes everywhere, zigzags, up and down......there is no road... Can't get out...."
Listening to his description, Ah Ba's eyes couldn't help but appear in front of the staggered and crisscrossed caves, like dotted with stars, and they were trapped in it, the thick mountain rocks blocked a qiē, there was no way to go up to the sky, no door to the ground, no way to climb, climb, never get out...
"Yan Qi, don't think about it, don't think about this, stop it, don't think about it." The old miner at the end, Lao Bai, said anxiously, "You must not think about where you are in the cave, climb quickly, don't think about it...."
He knows this kind of thing, in his life and decades of mining, he has also seen a lot of such miners, some are novices who have just gone down the mine, and some are veterans who have experienced the danger of life and death, but at a certain moment, they will suddenly go crazy in the mine, some people will crash into the rocks and knock themselves to death, and some will grab their chests and catch themselves alive.
Everyone said that this was the little ghost of the mountain god, and the little ghost trapped under the mountain god possessed the person and wanted to escape.
So don't think about going out at this time, and don't think about finding a way, the more you think about it, the more crazy you will become.
But it was already late, Yan Qi was still muttering, and Ah Ba in front of him was also breathing rapidly, and the whole person began to tremble.
Ah Ba felt uncomfortable, and just wanted to shout, wanting to jump up and break through the rock.
I'm going out! I'm going out! I'm going out!
"A tie to the eastern Jupiter."
A clear female voice sang in her ears.
"I'm going to set up a treasure hall tonight."
"Tear off Luo's skirt and cover your embroidered shoes."
"Jin Lian's step, hey the golden steps."
This is....
Lao Bai only felt relaxed, as if he saw a witch girl pulling open the curtain of the clouds and walking slowly.
It's settled! It's settled! God please! God please!
There is a god, and the little ghosts will not dare to make trouble.
Lao Bai fell to the ground excitedly, the cold ground, and the singing echoing in his ears made his whole person cool.
The muttering of Yan Qi and Ah Ba in front of them disappeared, and the trembling of their bodies also stopped. And began to climb forward.
Lao Bai kissed the ground with tears, and crawled away, the song always echoed and lingered, it was still dark in front of him, and the two sides still touched the narrow cave wall from time to time, but his heart was suddenly at ease.
…………………………………………………
How long has the night passed?
Everyone didn't pay attention, and the lights were bright in front of them. It makes people forget the day and night.
Mrs. Xie, who finally came over, walked up quickly wrapped in a thick cloak.
"Mother. You go back and rest first, I'll watch here. She said.
Mrs. Xie sat on the stone covered by the thick cushion and did not move.
"As I said, I'm in charge of this Yushan." She said.
It's good not to say this. When she mentioned this, Mrs. Xie couldn't suppress her anger.
"It's all the result of your own mess! Now, are you satisfied? She shouted.
Xie Wenxing hurriedly reached out and grabbed her.
Before she could dissuade her, Old Madam Xie had already smashed the cane in her hand.
"Get out!" She yelled. "Get out of here!"
Master Xie was busy dissuading him even with his words.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." He said again and again.
"Ayuan, save people first." Xie Wenxing said hurriedly. "It's useless if you're in a hurry."
Mrs. Xie's angry face turned blue and turned to leave.
Xie Wenxing had to point at Second Master Xie and the others.
"Hold on to it." He said, hurriedly following Mrs. Xie.
As soon as Second Master Xie and the others nodded, Old Madam Xie continued to scold.
"Get out of here, too! Don't come to my place! Get out of here! ”
There was a commotion in the mine, and Mrs. Xie looked back at the second master Xie and the others walking down. She burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, let's go. Let's go. "Something happened." Blame me, blame me! ”
She said and hid her face and ran.
Xie Wenxing was in a dilemma, wanting to follow her away, but couldn't help but look back at the mountain.
Jia Jia She ......
"I've dug so deep, it's all collapsed...."
"Went in in the morning? That's definitely hopeless. ”
"Yes, it's going to be dawn, and I guess I'll be able to dig up ...... when it's dawn."
The whispered conversation of Second Master Xie and the others came, and Xie Wenxing only felt suffocated.
We've dug up the body.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the east, where it was already faintly white.
One day, one night.
…………………………………………
How long has it been? I feel so hungry and tired.
The footsteps behind him grew slower and slower.
Xie Roujia leaned on the cave wall and slowly stood up.
"Lift your feet, there are stones." She said.
Brother An, who was following her, immediately raised her foot and stepped forward, and sure enough, her heel rubbed against a raised stone.
He passed the word to the back.
At this moment, for Xie Roujia's words, not only Brother An listened to his words, but others also had no doubts.
This girl, in this dark cave, seems to be able to see clearly.
In fact, she couldn't see clearly at first, but gradually her vision was no longer pitch black, but layers of misty light, and her heart was no longer suffocated.
Although at first she wondered if it was her hallucination, she tentatively walked over it, but the cave was real.
Some are artificially excavated caves, while others are naturally formed.
What's going on? Is it because of her good eyesight? Again, the scriptures that keep flashing through my head.
She closed her eyes, and the scriptures seemed to turn into golden threads, fluttering and dancing to guide.
Oh my God, this...
Xie Roujia opened her eyes suddenly, and the golden thread disappeared, but there was still a misty light in her sight, allowing her to see the cave rocks, and even reach out to catch the dripping water.
In this seemingly never-ending cave, she actually felt at ease, and there was an indescribable feeling, as if she was snuggled in an embrace, at ease.
Yes, the god of the mountains? Is this the god of the mountain? She could feel the mountain god, and it was the mountain god who was protecting and guiding her.
It was obviously a predicament, and it was obviously the pain of being bumped, but along the way, Xie Roujia was overjoyed, and when she reached out to touch the stone wall, it seemed that it was no longer cold and rough, but soft and warm.
But as she walked, she suddenly felt a little blocked in her heart.
I can still see the road in front of me, why do I feel this way?
Is it because you're too tired?
She stopped.
"What's wrong?" An Geli asked, "Is it a dead end again?" ”
They've run into quite a few dead ends.
"It's not." Xie Roujia said, looking in one direction. "I thought, go this way."
"Let's go, then." An Ge Yu said.
"But there's no road here." Xie Roujia said, stretching out her hand.
An Ge Yu also reached out and touched the wall.
Yes?
"If there's no road, dig it." Aba said.
Brother An looked back with some surprise, and what he was thinking about was actually said first.
"Yes. Miss. You say go this way, just go. Lao Bai and Yan Qi also said without hesitation.
Xie Roujia smiled.
She took a deep breath and reached out to touch the stone wall, as she kept touching. Her heart was beating faster, as if something was about to jump out.
"Dig." She said, reaching out to settle on a spot.
The dreary darkness was impenetrable, but there was a loud voice. The stone and the hand go into battle together.
They are old and infirm. The crippled miners, who have lost their tools and have no lights, are full of spirit. The two of them rotated, maintaining a full body and uninterrupted digging.
Don't think about whether you can dig it. Don't think about digging through, don't pay attention to the shaking of the ground. He also paid no attention to the rocks and dirt that fell from the top of his head.
The whole cave began to shake, and the sound of stones rolling down became louder and louder, and the sound of a rumbling collapse could be heard in the distance.
Everyone froze, their hands moving faster, stones tapping against stones, hands digging at the earth.
Dig! Dig! Dig!
With a pop, the stone in An's hand smashed into the cave wall and flew in, and at the same time, a bright light lit up in front of him.
Everyone let out a shout.
Light! There is light! There is light!
"Bang!" Xie Roujia shouted.
With her shouting, the four people, who had not yet recovered from the shock of the sudden light, slammed into the place where the light was.
With a bang, the ground shook, and the five of them rushed into this side almost at the same time, and behind them the rocks slid down, with a loud sound like thunder, and through the light from this side, they could see that the cave they were standing in had fallen full of mountains and turned into nothing.
It's dangerous! It's another step away, the difference between life and death!
However, it doesn't matter how many times this kind of risk has been taken along the way, and the key now is ......
"We're out!" Ah Ba shouted and jumped up with joy, but the next moment he was stunned.
Everyone else also looked at where they were now, and their expressions were a little stunned.
This place is not a place of light as they think it is connected to the outside world, and it is a cave.
In fact, the light was not very bright, because they had been in the dark for too long before they felt the dazzle, and standing here at this time, the light was not as bright as the moonlight.
Xie Roujia stood up and looked up for the light.
It's not a dug cave, it's natural, and it seems to lead up to the top of the mountain, because the light comes in through the top crevice.
Where is this? Can you get out?
Xie Roujia thought that just as she was about to speak, she heard Ah Ba next to her scream.
Xie Roujia looked at him, and by the light, he could see the native-like Ah Ba standing in a daze, his eyes turned red, his breathing was short, his face was distorted, and he began to tremble.
"This is, this is, what?" He said in a trembling voice.
What's wrong?
Xie Roujia followed his line of sight, and suddenly slammed, and his heart seemed to have been punched heavily, and his breath stopped for a moment.
This is! What the!
The gaze adjusted to the cave, and the original faintness dissipated, and what appeared in front of me was patches of red.
The craggy arrow-like stone pillars and the tall cave walls all seemed to be stained with blood.
And in this patch of red, a huge two-person tall mountain rock stood, its color was even more dazzling, crystal bright, and its bright red was as if blood was still flowing.
With a pop, Ah Ba fell to his knees.
"Oh God." He shouted.
O God!
Xie Roujia also shouted in her heart.
This is! What! What did she see! (To be continued) R580
