Lao Zhuang also knew that Shen Anan was really comforting herself, but when she heard the words in her mouth, she couldn't help but be shocked, and even danced a little because she was happy. "I can borrow this, I'll look for it when I get back."

After Shen Anting scraped the bark and returned the scimitar to Lao Zhuang, he said a few words to Shen An'an and went back in a hurry.

Presumably, Lao Zhuang must have gone back to find the geographical log.

Seeing that Lao Zhuang was gone, Shen Anting said with a smile: "Sister An, don't say it, this Zhuang Lao is really a good person." ”

Shen Anan also echoed and said, "It's not. Thankfully, he taught us how to scrape the bark, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten much of it until now. ”

"It's still for your sake, otherwise he won't even look at me." The two brothers and sisters of the Shen family immediately laughed.

Shen Anting carried more than ten catties of osmanthus bark in the sack on his back, and walked back with Shen An'an.

When he was about to fork the road at the entrance of the village, Shen An'an couldn't help but stop, looked at Shen Anting and said: "

"Brother, are you going to go to the secondary stone mine with me anymore, I want to see what's going on over there?"

Shen Anting couldn't help but stop, looked at Shen An'an with a complicated face, and said angrily: "What is there to see there." Besides, you didn't say that you didn't care about the Li family's affairs. What, still not at ease? ”

Seeing that Shen Anting was unhappy, Shen An'an suddenly became coquettish. "Brother, where do you want to go, I'm just going to see. Besides, if the matter of this stone mine is resolved, Dad will be happy, isn't it? "After all, this stone mine once raised their family. Although now they may not need to go to the quarries to sell coolies. But the draft does not forget the truth of the well digger, Shen Anting still understands.

Besides, even if he objected, Shen An'an, who had always made up his mind, probably wouldn't agree, and would definitely drag him over to see it.

"Brother, you are a good person to the end, will you accompany me again? I promise, I'll come back after one look and won't cause you trouble. ”

Seeing Shen An'an pouting, he was about to scrape something on his mouth. Shen Anting could only compromise, and hurriedly said: "Then let's take a look and leave." ”

"Okay, I promise you." After Shen An'an finished speaking, he took Shen Anting's arm and walked forward.

It wasn't until Shen Anting realized that something was wrong that Shen Anan let go of his brother's arm stupidly.

However, after a while, Shen Anting disliked Shen An'an for walking too slowly, and directly dragged her by the arm and dragged her forward.

The brother and sister both brought food to Shen Sanlang, and they touched the location of the stone mine all the way, which can be said to be familiar with the way.

After coming to the stone mine, I only saw an old man looking at the door at the door. There was only a dim light on there, and the old man stayed in the little house and didn't come out. I guess I knew that no one was coming, and I was ready to go to bed.

The brother and sister were very attentive, as if they had said yes, and after a glance passed over. The two of them comprehended and bowed their heads and sneaked in from the door. Seeing that they were not discovered, the two secretly smiled and entered the mining area.

"Brother, do you know where it is blocked, where is the specific location?" Shen An'an asked Shen Anting in a low voice. After entering the mining area, you must light the fire fold, fortunately, there are ready-made fire folds on the walls here, and there are a few oil lamps to prepare.

Shen Anan took out the flint and steel on his body, lit an oil lamp and held it in his hand, because the mining area is very large, and he can see a little bit in front of him with an oil lamp in his hand, but it is better than being blind.

"I don't know, let's go in and look for it, but you'll have to follow me." When Shen Anting spoke, he took the oil lamp in Shen An'an's hand. Shen Anting is much taller than Shen An'an, and there is a tall person holding an oil lamp. Shen Anan can clearly see the road ahead.

"Hey!" Shen An'an answered, then pulled Shen Anting's sleeve, and the brother and sister, shoulder to shoulder, supported each other side by side, and walked into the stone cave dug over there.

It seems that the quarry was abandoned after it was shut down. In the past, those workers, in groups of three and two, were there, and the scene of digging stones in full swing was no longer visible, and all that remained here was silence.

Therefore, Shen An'an and Shen Anting, a little bit, the sound of walking and talking are very obvious.

However, they didn't dare to be too ostentatious, in case someone from the gatekeeper found out and was caught as a thief, it would not be worth it.

Near the right is where the workers lived, and in the north-facing position, it looks like the stones have been newly dug up. The mine where they were located had been dug up, and it was empty, and the stones that had been dug up should have been taken away.

After taking a general look at the situation here, Shen An'an and Shen Anting discussed it and decided to take a look at the situation in this mine near the north.

The two were about to go out, Shen Anan was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said, "Brother, do you hear footsteps?" ”

Shen Anting didn't hear anything. Hearing Shen An'an say this, he also stopped. But the surroundings were quiet, except for the occasional sound of dripping water from somewhere, but there was no sound.

"If there is a sound of footsteps, don't scare yourself."

Shen Anan listened carefully, as if the voice was really gone. There seemed to be no sound but the wind.

"Let's go, it's scary here, let's take a look and get out immediately. Dad and Mom are still waiting for us to eat. Shen Anting couldn't help but "grunt" in his mouth.

Shen Anan felt that he might be too sensitive. Who will come to this place, that is, she, I don't know today, that nerve is wrong, so she pulled Shen Anting over without a head.

Shen Anting pulled Shen An'an to get ready to go out of the mine cave here, but unexpectedly, he stepped on a broken felt under his feet, and only heard "Squeak!" I saw a scrawny rat staggering in front of them, and fled in fear.

Originally, Shen An'an would definitely scream loudly when he saw the rat. But she saw that the mouse was already hungry. Seeing that it was so hungry that it was about to fall down when it was walking, Shen Anan not only did not feel afraid, but laughed. "What a stupid mouse, there's nothing here, does it live by gnawing stones. If it were me, I would have gone to the homes of the rich and the rich. ”

Shen Anting saw that it was a mouse, and his originally worried heart also fell. looked at Shen Anan and said, "Look, it's a mouse, and there is no strange sound you said." ”

"I saw it too, since it's okay, let's get over quickly." To be honest, before coming, Shen Anan didn't feel scared. But I saw this empty, swarthy mine everywhere.
