Chapter Twenty-Three: Discovering the Secret Passage

"Damn, it's blocked." Tao Yaoyao secretly cursed, and after a thousand calculations, she didn't count that this entrance was blocked by the blown stones, and you must know that she is not Hercules, and she can't do such heavy work.

"You can only go forward." Tao Yaoyao smiled bitterly, but her eyes fell on another place in this cave.

The peach is also neat, and slowly walks forward with the things you need, who knows if this is a bear hole, and what does this small entrance mean? Xiao Wuming didn't have much time to study it carefully, so she had to rely on herself.

"Huh?" Tao Yaoyao kept walking forward, but found that the hole was unexpectedly narrower than she had imagined, and she walked for three or four hours, but she still couldn't see the end. Although she was vigilant, she did not find anything dangerous, and there seemed to be no other scenery in the cave except for the milky stones.

"What is this?" Tao Yaoyao continued to walk for a cup of tea before stopping, and in front of her, to be precise, a tunnel-like path appeared under her feet.

She poked her head out to see the end, but she couldn't see anything, it seemed like a long time, and she wasn't sure what it was.

"There won't be snakes, will they?" There wasn't the road she imagined or any treasure or anything like that, but it made people feel very unsafe.

"No, people can find opportunities to make a fortune all the time, and there are beautiful men in their arms at will. How can I not only get rich with my hands, but also always encounter such bad luck! Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips, she knew that Yao Wuming would definitely find a chance to come back and check, they said that they would leave a message, but I don't know when, whether these foods can last until that day.

"It's better to ...... than to sit still," Tao Xiaoxiao really had an urge to slide down, but the foot that hadn't stepped out was retracted. Don't say she doesn't know what is here, if she falls down this road, she won't be able to climb up, and the devil knows how deep it is. At this moment, Tao stomped her feet helplessly, as if she wanted to vent.

"Ahh Fate is what a wonder, the soil under her feet seems to be relatively loose, she fell down all of a sudden, and she didn't even have time to react, so she followed this slide all the way to the end.

When he was at the end, he opened his eyes, and it seemed to be underground. She rubbed her aching cheeks and stood up.

"It's not natural, there's traces of artificiality." Tao Yaoyao looked around, a little excited.

This place is different from the hole, which looks like it was formed naturally, but the walls of this slide and the place where she is now are too smooth, although some places have decayed after the test of time, it can still be seen that this basement is artificially hewn. On the bright side, if someone chisels, there must be a way out.

However, all around this area is closed, how can there be a road! Tao Yao frustratedly hammered the wall in front of her, only to find that the wall was a little damp.

In a place like Seamothys, there is no such thing as dampness, unless there is water outside this entrance.

"Isn't—" Her heart fluttered, and she pulled out the dagger from her body and dug it at the wall.

It was a manual job, but soon she saw hope, and the wall began to seep water, but it didn't seem to be much. Tao Yaoyao seems to have found strength, and she doesn't know how long she has been digging, but she finally sees the light.

"It's light! It's light! "Anyone who stays in such a place for a long time is a little resistant, and besides, she doesn't rob the tomb too much, this kind of confined space not only does not give her a sense of excitement and mystery, but there is a lot of tension.

It's just that when she dug a hole half a head in size, she could see the outside clearly.

"It's—" Momo was shocked.

There was a lake outside her, but the water level of the river was not as high as the hole, which meant that the hole had its exit on the wall of the lake.

"This hole was originally a reservoir for flood control!" Tao Yaoyao thought about it and sighed with a smile.

The wisdom of the ancients was the crystallization of the working people, and this land probably used to have a body of water, which is why such a place was excavated, and if the water level rose, then the water would automatically be stored in the dug reservoir.

"So, that chute was dug from the bottom up, and they dug that milk hole to seal this reservoir, or was it because of the silt and sand for a long time?" None of this is known, but what Momo can guess is that Seamus may have been a rich land a long time ago.

"That's not right! This way of digging is not the technology of the ancients at all, how can a place like Ximo understand the deep well drilling method, although it is nothing in modern times, but such a way of drilling wells is not available in Beigao, how can it be? An idea popped up, and Tao Xiaoyao was startled by her own thoughts.

Could it be that there are people like her?

Tao Xiaoyao shook his head, all this is not important, the most important thing now is to escape first.

Soon Tao Xiaoxiao crawled out of a place the size of a dog's hole, and did not forget to reseal the hole with the stones on the shore, and when she was done, she also lay down tired, glanced at the hole with a little meaning, and then swept her eyes from the lake. Only then did he frown and sigh.

She was not embarrassed like this, and there was no one around, so she removed the clothes that had been torn when she slipped off, immersed herself in the lake, and took a good bath.

"It's ugly." Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips and looked at herself in the lake, in addition to the face that was not white, the freckles on her face were also obvious, even if she was inferior to herself in that world, she was in good shape.

"Who!?" Tao Yaoyao heard movement not far away, and immediately became vigilant and stared at that place.

After waiting for a long time, a rabbit ran out of the bushes, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm really scared of myself-" Tao Yaoyao looked at herself, her whole body was immersed in the water, but she didn't dare to stay longer, and quickly went ashore to change her clothes.

"This ignorance is also true, why don't you keep men's clothes for me?" Tao Yaoyao frowned, and lost the ignorance eight hundred times in her heart, and it was too inconvenient to wear women's clothes.

Xiao Wuming, who was far away in the sky, couldn't help but sneeze a few times at this time, he shook his head and glanced at these men around him, although he was out of danger, but the greater danger was still to come.

Momo packed up her things and walked out, she had been in the hole for so long, and she had fallen into a chute in the middle of nowhere, and the devil knew where she was. However, she is not worried, since there are traces of water and artificiality, it means that there must be someone living nearby.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tao Yao to meet a family.

"Auntie, where is this?" Tao Yaoyao saw an old woman sitting at the door weaving a plaque, and took the initiative to step forward and ask.

The old woman sprang out of nowhere with a girl, and her heart was shocked: "Girl, you-"

"I fled from Longxia Town, and somehow I got lost, and then I found someone." Tao Yaoyao didn't panic, she now said that she escaped from Longxia Town, anyway, those people didn't know where they went, and there was no evidence to talk about.

"Longxia Town?" The old woman was a little stunned.

This makes Tao Xiaoxiao a little strange, is Longxia Town far away, why does it show such an expression?

"Auntie, where is this, how to get to the city?" Tao Yaoyao asked again.

"Oh, this is Qingshui Town, well, you can reach Xianyang City in half a day by walking west." The old woman said slowly.

Clearwater Town? It seems that most of this place used to have a large body of water, otherwise how many cents does a town of Seamos have to do with water? Tao Xiaoyao didn't know why she thought of this, but the eldest lady in front of her interrupted her train of thought with a smile.

"Girl, the sun is about to set, and though it is far from the desert, it is not peaceful outside. It's better to rest at Lao Suo's house for one night, and then go on the road tomorrow. The old woman had a kind smile on her face, and she couldn't think of any reason to refuse, she didn't know anything about this place now.

"Then it's troublesome Auntie." Tao Yaoyao wanted to take out the silver to thank the other party, but the hand that reached into his arms took it out again, and not revealing his wealth is the truth.

Tao Yaoyao really stopped at this house, and after inquiring, she learned that she had already left the border this time, and she had already passed the desert place. Tao Yaoyao was shocked in her heart, this road is not really carved out of some secret passage, you must know that from the border to here, if you walk from the ground, you have to walk for several days, but it is not surprising, this Ximo's cliffs and barren mountains are surrounded, and it is already short to walk out of that mountain without a tunnel for a few days.

"Auntie, you said that you are restless outside, don't you mean that there are no bandits here?" Tao Yao gobbled up, she hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

"Eh, I don't know why, just a few days ago, many military masters came to the vicinity here. We are a small place, where have we seen this scene, they all say that some kind of vicious person is coming, killing people without blinking, picking on girls like you. The lady didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and there were some elements in these words that scared the peach.

I didn't think much about it when I first came, but now I have some awareness.

"Hehe, then thank you really for the reminder. By the way, does the eldest lady live alone? Tao Yaoyao stared at the other party tightly, and she caught a hint of dodging in the other person's eyes.

"Well, I have a son, but he hasn't been back for years. Hehe. The smile sounded a little dry.

Tao Xiaoyao didn't speak, but left a heart in his heart.

"Girl, I stewed chicken soup today, hurry up and drink it while it's hot." The lady brought out a bowl of chicken soup out of nowhere, and Tao Yaoyao really couldn't help but smell the fragrance.

Is a stranger who is chicken soup and stays overnight, and doesn't want any benefits, is it really kind-hearted? Tao Yaoyao looked at the other party and smiled as if flattering, and was a little undecided.

"Great, I love chicken soup! I'm really hungry after I haven't eaten for a few days, Auntie, can I eat another bowl of rice? Tao asked with a wink of eyes at her.

"Of course, girl, you wait, I'll add it to you." The old woman swung the chicken soup into Tao Yaoyao's hand and walked away with a smile.

Tao Yaoyao looked at the bowl of things in her hand, sniffed it, and licked it again, her eyes immediately became serious, and when she saw the woman who came in, she drank it all in one go, and the woman's face was happier.
