Chapter Seventy-Four: Escape

"Nope. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info. It's nothing.. Bai Lun twisted his face to the side, his face burning.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Xu took Xiao Cui's pulse, and after making sure that there was nothing to do, he was worried about the current situation, the oil lamp on the ground didn't seem to be burning for too long, so he had to think about it quickly. Tang Xu held an oil lamp and walked around, and the bare walls were nothing special. There was nothing to lean on in the entire basement except for a pile of broken wood, and it was almost an empty room.

"It's so secretive here, it's supposed to be a place to hide things, why is there nothing?" Tang Xu muttered to himself.

"It's about idle, and the people who originally lived here have moved out." Bai Lun, who was so easy to relieve, answered.

Tang Xu nodded, turned back and went up the stone steps, until he reached the stone slab above his head where he could reach out, and pushed hard to move the slightest.

"If you don't press the mechanism from the outside, this slab can't be moved." Bai Lun sighed, very guilty for putting Tang Xu in such a dangerous situation.

"You don't have to blame yourself, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found Xiaocui." Tang Xu came down from the stone steps and sat beside Xiao Cui.

"He..." Bai Lun looked at Tang Xu looking at Xiao Cui with a pampered face, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Huh?" Tang Xu didn't know why, but seeing his strange expression, he suddenly remembered what Bai Lun said just now, and laughed and said You really think I like men? Xiaocui is not a man, but it is inconvenient to reveal her identity now.

"Huh?" This time it was Bai Lun's turn to open his mouth, but his heart was a lot more comfortable, and when he looked back at Xiao Cui, between his eyebrows and eyes was a girl who was alive and well, and where did he look like a man.

"Why do you want to dress up as a man?" Bai Lun was very strange, Tang Xu was stunned, and he didn't know whether to tell him the reason.

"It's okay if there's something hard to say, I'm just curious." Bai Lun smiled.

"It's not a big deal, Xiaocui was rescued from the palace by me, and I can't reveal my identity." Tang Xu thought about it and told him.

"I think it's a big deal, why is Tang Gongzi willing to tell me, not afraid that I will go out to tell the truth?" Bai Lun asked.

"I believe you." Tang Xu said calmly, Bai Lun was very moved when he heard it, and promised him that he would not leak this matter.

"Besides, we're trapped here, and even if you want to snitch, you'll have to wait for us to get out of here." Tang Xu joked.

"How can I get out of this airtight place?" Bai Lun was very worried. Tang Xu patted him on the shoulder and said that things are man-made, don't be discouraged.

"Tang Gongzi, are you always like this?" Tang Xu's calm appearance now made Bai Lun very curious.

"Always?" Tang Xu asked.

"Always not afraid." Bai Lun learned from Li Yu that Tang Xu was less than twenty years old, and ordinary people couldn't help but panic when they encountered this situation, and there was also a weak Xiaocui, but Tang Xu was so calm.

"I'm afraid, but I've experienced nine deaths in my life, as long as God doesn't want me to die, I can always escape." Tang Xu said. Without waiting for Bai Lun to speak, Tang Xu suddenly sighed and looked up.

"What's wrong?" Bai Lun also followed, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark.

"It's like water is dripping down." Tang Xu wiped a handful of liquid on his face and put it to his nose to smell it, there was no smell, it should be water.

"Water leakage?" Bai Lun asked.

"This house doesn't seem to be big, and our place should be out of the range of the house now." Tang Xu said and remembered something, so he got up and walked to the place where the wood was placed, picked up and picked among the woods, and finally picked up the longest one and held it in his hand.

"Tang Gongzi, what are you going to do here?" Bai Lun also stood up and joined him.

"The water is cold and cold, and it smells of earth, maybe it will only seep down because of the water on it." Tang Xu craned his neck and searched carefully above the pitch-black head.

"Stagnant water? There is no place for water to accumulate around this house, how can water accumulate? Bai Lun saw that Tang Xu seemed to have chosen a place, and raised the long wooden stick in his hand to top it. The basement was not too high, and before Tang Xu could straighten his arm, he would already reach his head, he shook his arm and pulled it back and forth, and then took the wooden stick back.

"Look, it's mud." Tang Xu showed Bai Lun the wooden stick, and there was indeed a layer of slimy soil at the top of the stick. But even after reading it, Bai Lun still didn't quite understand what Tang Xu meant, and he didn't understand why he was smiling.

"You help me get Xiaocui over there." Tang Xu put down the stick and returned to Xiao Cui, Bai Lun hurriedly stepped over, and the two carefully moved Xiao Cui to the side of the stone steps.

"You also stand a little farther away." Tang Xu said to Bai Lun, and then he went back to the place just now and picked up the wooden stick and pushed it up, this time it was not a random gesture but used the strength to eat, two times and three times, the entire basement echoed with a knocking sound, and even the ground under his feet seemed to be shaken.

Tang Xu tossed for a while, a lot of wet soil had been stirred up on the wooden stick, and some debris had fallen from the top of his head, but he still couldn't see any light penetrating.

"Damn, it's not enough." Tang Xu said hatefully, Bai Lun now understands that Tang Xu wants to break through the land above his head, but it is not easy to say.

"Do you have a knife?" Tang Xu asked him, Bai Lun nodded, and took out a scimitar for self-defense, about the length of a palm and a half. Tang Xu was very happy, and after taking it, he went to move a lot of wood, he cut his clothes, tore out a few pieces of cloth as ropes, and tied several pieces of wood to the longest one. Holding it in your hand is like a weird gavel.

"You help me, I don't have enough strength alone." Tang Xu asked Bai Lun to help, the two of them held the wooden stick in their four hands, shouting the rhythm to go up, and they didn't know how long they had been fighting, the debris falling from the top of their heads gradually became bigger and more, and there was also water mixed with you that kept dripping. Then the two of them hammered around the point just now for a long time, and finally saw the starry light projected down.

"Haha, there's a play." Tang Xu worked hard, Bai Lun's hands were shocked but he didn't dare to relax, and he was also driven by Tang Xu's arrogance.

"Be careful!" Tang Xu was in full swing, and suddenly felt that his hands were empty, and the gavel had broken through the top of his head, so he withdrew the gavel and pulled Bai Lun to the side. Before the two of them could come back to their senses, a large piece of earth and gravel fell from the place where they were standing just now, and a large bag of earth and stones more than half a person high was instantly piled up, and the pouring rain also poured in.

"It's time to get out." Tang Xu stepped on it a few times in the past and felt that it was very strong, this layer of soil was rammed, if it hadn't been eroded by heavy rain, he probably wouldn't have been able to smash it. Tang Xu stood on it and reached out to the ground, the place that had not been smashed was still very solid, but it couldn't hold out for long under the heavy rain, and the ground in the basement was also being flooded with water.

"I'll open the door, you help me take care of Xiaocui." Tang Xu threw a word to Bai Lun and jumped up on the ground. Bai Lun hurriedly agreed and ran to Xiaocui's side, but he was afraid that she would be lying on the ground and getting wet, so he hugged her hard.

Bai Lun carried Xiao Cui to the stone steps, and after a few steps, he heard the sound of stones rubbing, and Tang Xu had already removed the stone slab and stood at the exit.

"Did you just meet that person?" Bai Lun poked his head out of the exit, Tang Xu shook his head and said that he had left early, and he hadn't seen anyone. Bai Lun was relieved to take Xiaocui out.

"Thank you." Tang Xu and he helped Xiao Cui to the seat.

"Hurry back when the rain stops." Tang Xu looked at Xiao Cui, who was still unconscious, and said worriedly. Bai Lun said that he was afraid that it would not be safe to go back, and that person might come back soon to check, and if he found that the person was gone, he would definitely go to Tang Xu's mansion to monitor.

"Yes." Tang Xu was right to think about it, but he didn't feel at ease if he left Xiaocui alone, so he finally decided to take the risk of taking Xiaocui back to Xiaocui's mother's house.

About an hour later, the heavy rain finally stopped, and Xiao Cui woke up slowly.

"Tang Lang, what's wrong with me?" Xiao Cui's voice was still very weak.

"Don't worry, it's okay now, if you're sleepy, you can sleep again, and when you wake up, you'll be home." Tang Xu gently comforted her, not wanting to tell her what she had encountered for the time being, for fear that she would worry about herself. Xiao Cui didn't ask much after hearing this, nodded and fell asleep in Tang Xu's arms.
