As soon as the passage was clear, He Dali took the lead and said, "I'll go over and see the situation first!" The rest of the people also followed, climbing to the next space in turn.

Everyone sighed with emotion:

"It's a lot of space!"

"The ground is dry, there is no water, there is no ice, it doesn't look like a cave!"

"It's too dark to see anything!"

"It seems to be windy!"

"Ma San, light the fire and take a look!" shouted Dong Cripple.

One of the sergeants snorted and lit up a small piece of pine resin. He is a fire attribute, and his cultivation is only level sixteen, so if he really fights, he will definitely be cannon fodder. But a small man has the way of a small man, he always has all kinds of fuel on his body, and at special moments, it is enough to deliver a powerful fatal blow.

By the light of the fire, everyone saw clearly that the space in front of them turned out to be a tunnel, not a cave.

Everyone cheered, was very excited, and said:

"Great!

"That's right, let's dig a tunnel from above, this is ready-made, so we don't have to dig it!"

"What luck!"

Only Dong Cripple didn't feel very good based on experience, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and frowned: "Look at this tunnel, it should have been dug up manually, and it has been some years." ”

"It doesn't matter when it was dug up, now it's all dug by us!" Qian Leopard laughed as if he had found a treasure.

"Hmm. Let's take a look at the tunnel first. Everyone be careful!" Dong Cripple was still a little uneasy.

When many people go underground, they can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and have no sense of direction at all, but Long Yuandong is not too affected, and said: "This side is the south, it should lead to the center of the Mofengkou military village, and this side is the north, it should lead to the bottom of the north peak of Mofengkou! Let's go to the north to have a look first." ”

With the faint light of the torches, everyone followed Long Yuandong all the way to the north, walking slowly.

The tunnel twists and turns, ups and downs, but when you go to the back, you can clearly feel that the terrain is slowly rising, and the width becomes narrower and narrower the back, and finally only two people can bow down to pass through at the same time.

Everyone walked silently, and they didn't know how long they had walked, and after turning two big turns in a row, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's time for the exit!"

Long Yuandong cheered, quickened his pace and walked forward.

On the stone walls on the left and right sides of the tunnel, all covered with black-brown moss, Long Yuandong walked in a hurry, his hair and clothes were covered with dried moss and broken grass everywhere.

The entrance of the tunnel was blocked by a dense clump of huge rattans, Long Yuandong pushed aside the rattans, and when he looked out, there was a huge and deep mountain col below!

It turned out that the entrance of this cave was actually opened on a high mountain cliff, and there was only a dangerous road that stretched to the bottom of the valley.

Everyone looked outside together, and Qian Leopard said: "This exit is very secret, far away from the grinding outlet, and there is no need to do any more camouflage." ”

Dong lame said with a smile: "We have discovered the old tunnel, although it has saved a lot of trouble, but if the upper authorities know that the tunnel has already existed, wouldn't we seem to have done nothing?

Qian Bao felt deeply reasonable, and also let out a treacherous laugh: "Lao Dong's words are reliable! There are twenty of us, one person is divided into a section, and it will be done in half a day!"

Dong Cripple added: "The old entrance to the south of the tunnel, let's leave it alone, otherwise it will alarm others." After we've scraped the entire tunnel, we'll take a look at the entrance. ”

"At this time, it's time for the food delivery to come, after we have lunch, we will scrape the tunnel, right?" Long Yuandong was worried that the guy who delivered the food would not see them, so he jumped into the shaft to find it, and then found that the tunnel that had been there for a long time and broke their tricks, so not only did he not succeed in attacking, but he caused a commotion.

Dong Lame looked at Long Yuandong and praised: "You are young, you think about it thoroughly. That's it, eat first, then work. ”

After the meal, everyone widened an old tunnel next to the shaft several times, chiseled it into a cellar where the soldiers could store grain, and then spent half a day shoveling the entire tunnel.

Dong lame said: "I'm tired enough today, rest early." We'll check on the other entrance tomorrow. ”

Yun Tianjia suddenly said: "Brother Dong, what is the chief, the tunnel we dug before is almost the same as the route of the tunnel we are going to dig, isn't there any problem in the middle?"

Qian Bao thought that he did not agree with everyone's risk, and shouted: "What's the problem with this?

Long Yuandong patted his leg and said: "Yes, people in the past could think of digging tunnels, and we also thought of digging tunnels, can't the enemy think of it? If the enemy also thought that we would dig tunnels, would you say that this tunnel would be found?"

Yun Tianjia said: "So just in case, we must also find a hidden section in the tunnel, and dig a new tunnel to connect to the outside." No one can tell this new tunnel but us!"

"According to you, how long will it take for us to finish digging this tunnel?"

Dong Cripple had been faintly worried about something before, but he couldn't figure out his thoughts for a while, but now when he heard the words of Yun Tianjia and Long Yuandong, he suddenly became enlightened, and said: "Tianjia is right, digging a tunnel is just a few days of hard work, and a few more drops of sweat are better than giving up your life! Tomorrow, we will ignore the exit over there, and we will talk about it after digging a new tunnel!"

Dong Cripple spoke, although Qian Bao was reluctant, he complained, and let it go.

After they had made up their minds, they went back to the barracks to rest.

At this time, it was already dark, Yun Tianjia thought that the battle was imminent, but he was too weak to look good, so he was very unsteady, got up in his clothes, and slowly beat the tiger and leopard fist taught by Qian Leopard from beginning to end.

This trip was very jerky, and Yun Tianjia didn't feel anything strange about it. But if Qian Bao saw him boxing, he would be surprised.

I think it took him half a year to learn this set of boxing, but Yun Tianjia just watched it once, and he memorized all the movements!

The difference between people is sometimes so big!

However, the biggest feature of Yuntianjia is not that he has a good memory, but that he is persistent. He has a tenacious personality, and when he sees one thing, he goes all out and does not hesitate.

That night, he beat the tiger and leopard punch more than a dozen times, until he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and then quietly went back to the house to sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, Yun Tianjia was sore all over, but his spirit was unprecedentedly abundant, knowing that yesterday's boxing had indeed had a little effect, so he secretly made up his mind that as long as he was free in the future, he would fight the tiger and leopard every day for a dozen or dozens of times.

When everyone came to the granary again, Steward Zhou asked with concern, "How many tunnels have been dug up?"

Dong Cripple didn't want to expose the discovery of the old tunnel, so he said perfunctorily: "In the tunnel, there are too many people to unfold, and now the progress is very fast, and I guarantee that the task assigned by the county lord can be completed!"

Steward Zhou smiled: "That's good, that's good!" and left satisfied.

Dong, Qian, Long, and He led everyone to find a turning point not far from the exit of the old tunnel and began to dig a new tunnel.

The entrance of the new tunnel was selected here, and after careful consideration, first, it was a dark place of turning point, which was easy to camouflage; second, it was close to the exit, and the enemy's attention was attracted by the exit, and it was difficult to think that it was not far from the exit, and there was also a tunnel; third, the exit of the new tunnel only needed to be at a safe distance from the old exit, which was convenient for retreat, and there was no need to dig for a long time.

Digging tunnels is hard work, especially in rocky mountains.

At the end of the day, even an iron man like He Dali has to be tired like a dog. In the end, Qian Leopard and Dong Cripple took turns to fight, and finally dug the tunnel in the evening.

Everyone was excited, and the entrances and exits of the new tunnel were carefully camouflaged.

Dong and Qian overfulfilled the task ahead of schedule, and they were in a good mood, so they went to Manager Zhou to grind hard and beg for some food to reward everyone.

Yun Tianjia knew that his body was too weak, and time was very short, no matter how tired he was during the day, he continued to strengthen the cultivation of Tiger and Leopard Fist at night, and there was no need to mention it.
