Su Banxia rushed in hopefully, searched around but found nothing.

The two stood under the eaves of the porch, and Zhuo Yanqing pointed to the wooden door leading to the ground next to the firewood room, "Only the cellar has not been checked." ”

The door to the cellar was tattered and black, with a thick iron chain bolted to it, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't find that it was almost one with the wall next to it.

The tip of Su Banxia's nose moved slightly, and he could vaguely smell the rotten breath coming from the cellar.

Zhuo Yanqing stepped forward and tugged on the chain, making a heavy sound, and turned his head and said, "Smash it open?" ”

Su Banxia shook his head and said, "I'll come." ”

Guo Lao Er is really troublesome when he is not at home, and it is too obvious that he will be in trouble if he runs away in advance.

Zhuo Yanqing sighed, took two steps to the side, and saw Su Banxia pull up the lock of the chain, pull off the hairpin on his head, stuff it into the keyhole, listen attentively, and after a while, he heard a slight click, and the lock had been opened.

Su Banxia threw the lock aside, pulled the chain, Zhuo Yanqing opened the door, a smell rushed to the face, the two of them turned their feet, sideways away, after a few breaths, the two glanced at each other, and stood at the door of the cellar again.

"I'll go down and take a look, you wait up there." Zhuo Yanqing looked inside, the cellar was pitch black, only a little light from the door penetrated, and something was faintly visible inside.

"Okay." Su Banxia didn't hesitate, watched Zhuo Yanqing enter the cellar, looked up at the hillside again, and quickly moved to the corridor to wait.

Guo Jianshe must have known about her return, Guo Lao Er is not here at this time, so she should be going to deal with things.

"Banxia."

Zhuo Yanqing's voice came, interrupting Su Banxia's thoughts, she sighed, and hurriedly walked to the door of the cellar, "What's wrong?" ”

"Come down and take a look, there's something here."

The stuffy feeling in the cellar had completely disappeared, Su Banxia took two steps inside, and she noticed that there was wind in her face, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps, "There is a tunnel inside?" ”

"Yes!"

Su Banxia went into the cellar and got used to it for a while before he saw the layout clearly, it was extremely simple, only Zhuo Yanqing had a bed next to him, and he didn't even have a decent table and chairs.

There were sweet potatoes piled up at the end of the bed, reeking of decay, but there was nothing else in the room.

I really don't know how Guo Lao Er lives here.

Zhuo Yanqing beckoned, "Come." ”

Su Banxia leaned over, and Zhuo Yanqing completely opened the plank of the simple bed, and the whining wind blew the corner of the sheet.

She found a flashlight in her room and shone it down the tunnel, which was so narrow that only one person could pass through.

She touched the walls of the tunnel, "The walls are smooth, and there are no stains in the tunnel, which must be caused by someone often walking and rubbing." ”

Guo Lao Er lived here, and the big iron chain on the broken wooden door was for this tunnel.

The light of the flashlight is limited, you can't see much distance, and it's pitch black ahead, and you have to go down to know where this tunnel leads.

Zhuo Yanqing glanced at it and said in a low voice: "Go down?" ”

"Wait for the evening." Su Banxia turned off the flashlight and pointed to the entrance of the cellar, "Guo Lao Er hasn't disappeared yet, in case he will come back, he will startle the snake." ”

Later, if Guo Lao Er didn't come back, she would go to Widow Zhang's cellar first.

The two of them got out of the cellar, restored the iron lock to its original state, and returned to the halfway up the mountain, Zhuo Yanqing glanced at the sun in the sky, "Where are you going?" ”
