Chapter 17: Accidental Bumping

In the darkness, Bai Ling recognized the faint footsteps that had gone away, and followed with bated breath.

It seems that Lao Xu is not completely familiar with this area, and he seems to be a little hesitant when choosing a road at several forks in the road.

This slowed him down even further.

After a while, Bai Ling finally caught up with a little fire in the distance, and she stopped moving forward in the darkness, her eyes carefully tracking Lao Xu's traces.

The deeper you go into this deep cave, the less it looks like a mine.

Bai Ling was a little confused about whether he was going up or down, although he felt that there were more downhill roads than uphill roads, but the stuffy feeling was getting lighter and lighter.

After a certain corner, Bai Ling suddenly felt a coolness, and a gust of wind blew from nowhere.

Lao Xu stopped at this moment, then leaned over and disappeared.

Bai Ling was about to catch up to see when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder in the dark.

She was so frightened that she almost screamed when she heard Mu Cheng say behind her, "What are you doing here?" ”

Bai Ling glanced back at Mu Cheng with a pale face.

- The man walked without a sound.

When Bai Ling came back to her senses, she asked with some confusion, "...... How did you chase so fast? You can catch up after going back and forth? ”

"I didn't go up with them." Mu Cheng said softly, "Anyway, the eldest kid among them seems to have a bit of strength, at most he can climb a little slowerβ€”what are you doing here?" ”

"I'll see what Lao Xu is doing." Bai Ling said softly, "It feels weird. ”

"You just think it's weird all day long...... What's weird? ”

Bai Ling laughed, "Didn't this Master Xu say that they only found clues that the children might be in the mining area last month?" From locking down the mine to going down the mine, and then planning such a rescue operation, the energy consumed in the middle must be huge......"

Bai Ling said softly, "Under such circumstances, can a person with no mining experience be able to become familiar with everything here to such a degree in just over a month...... I don't believe it. ”

"......" Mu Cheng frowned slightly.

"Either he lied about the time he got the clues, or he deliberately didn't admit that he had gone down the well before." Bai Ling looked at the little light in front of him slowly fading, and quickly stood up, "Let's keep up." ”

- Sure enough, there is a sunken plank road where Lao Xu's figure disappeared.

The further he went, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The ground under my feet is getting smoother and smoother, and the artificial traces on the walls on both sides are getting heavier and heavier.

Until Lao Xu stopped, Bai Ling and Mu Cheng also stopped.

In addition to this slender and narrow stone path, the view suddenly opens up.

But it seems that everything is still underground, except for the glimmer in Lao Xu's hand, nothing can be seen clearly.

Bai Linghe stared at Lao Xu's figure...... From the limited view, they saw that behind Lao Xu there was a wall of goods much higher than him, most of which was wrapped in black cloth, until Lao Xu walked to the corner, where there was nothing to cover, and many simple wooden boxes were neatly stacked.

It looks like it's an underground storeroom.

Lao Xu kept bending over and circled along the wall of the warehouse, not knowing what he was doing.

Mu Cheng lightly poked Bai Ling's shoulder and made a gesture to the left.

Bai Ling understood and made way for Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng fell silently on the floor of the storeroom.

Lao Xu went around the northwest corner at this time, and Mu Cheng silently detoured back to the southeast corner, and then leaned over and carefully groped the ground.

Almost the moment his hand touched the ground, Mu Cheng understood what was under his feet - he stood up and let out a sharp cry in the darkness, "Old Xu, what are you doing?" ”

The light in the storeroom flickered.

Lao Xu was startled by this sudden voice, and then quickly regained his composure, and when he saw the person in front of him, he frowned slightly, "Why didn't you leave?" ”

Mu Cheng walked to Lao Xu's side in two or three steps, walked to the pile of wooden boxes that were not wrapped in black cloth, and quickly lifted the lid. Even with only a faint light, Mu Cheng recognized the contents at a glance - eight cannonballs neatly stacked in the box.

Mu Cheng has already drawn his knife until Lao Xu.

"Don't get me wrong." Lao Xu slowly put the lamp on the wooden box on the side, "I can explain......"

"Songqing!" Mu Cheng completely ignored Lao Xu's defense, he shouted, "Hurry up!" Hurry up and report to the police! ”

Bai Ling in the darkness was stunned for a moment.

Mu Cheng said again, "This should be the government's warehouse for storing ammunition...... This guy, this guy has been laying fuses on the ground! ”

Lao Xu was shocked in his heart - he never thought that there was more than Mu Cheng in front of him here.

Bai Ling only felt a tingling in his scalp, and then he didn't care about the sound coming from his feet, and stumbled back.

However, before Mu Cheng could open his mouth to ask who Lao Xu was, he heard Bai Ling's footsteps fleeing abruptly.

There was a little more fire at the entrance, and it seemed that someone was slowly approaching with a lamp.

Lao Xu and Mu Cheng confronted each other, but they didn't act rashly, but used their afterglow to lock on the changes at the entrance.

First, Bai Ling slowly retreated.

- Opposite her, a man who had been waiting on top jumped into the storeroom with a lamp.

"The third child!" Lao Xu was overjoyed and surprised, "Why did you come down?" What about the dolls? ”

"The dolls let the second child take them away first," the third child held a knife in one hand and a lamp in the other, "I saw that these two didn't come up, and I heard that Huzi said that they were going to go with you, so I came down to take a look." ”

Bai Ling's throat moved.

"You're not Qingzhou villagers," her hand also grasped the dagger behind her waist, and Bai Ling's jaw sank slightly, "...... Are you the inner part of the gold thief? ”

"Fart!" The third child's anger jumped up suddenly, "When the dog officer arrested someone, he said that the person was a gold thief and a blue-robed bandit, Lao Tzu An Ansheng had been born for half a lifetime, and the hair of the gold thief had never been seen!" ”

Mu Cheng reprimanded, "It's not a gold thief, then what are you burning my Great Zhou's arsenal for!" ”

Lao Xu has calmed down.

"Let's talk slowly, we are indeed not gold thieves, nor are we blue-robed bandits," Lao Xu said softly, "We will lie, those little dolls won't, will we?" ”

Mu Cheng remembered the sincere reunion cry he heard in the stone road just now, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

"We didn't want to destroy any arsenals, but we just accidentally found out that there was a warehouse for storing munitions here," Lao Xu said softly, "but this cannibalistic mine can't be left anymore." ”
