In some damp rooms, the wooden seats are mottled and look a little shaky, and the so-called beds are only made of a few wooden planks.

The room is not big, but fortunately, the people who take care of the room are very attentive and look orderly.

The ground is damp and cold.

Most of the wooden items are not stored for a long time and are difficult to obtain, so most of them are made with stone grinding tools.

As for trees and flowers, children who live underground know that they are things that can only be found on the ground.

"I was really, really careless! How did I know that a big living person suddenly popped up, and this kid looked like he was from above, and he was still a spy sent by those bastards! The voice of the young man's protest and indignation was so loud that under the same roof, every species could feel his depression and dissatisfaction.

It all started half an hour ago.

The boy who wanted to leave people behind, but felt that it was very bad, so he carried it up and brought it back, and was arrested by his companion as soon as he knocked on the door.

If it's just like this, forget it, the person was stunned by him, and he brought it back, and it was normal to be verbosous at most, and he was mentally prepared.

"Anyway, I don't want it!"

The young man clasped his arms in his hands and was very resolute: "I will not be responsible for him, what comes from the ground is not a good thing, I think he is too!" ”

"Ah Lang!"

The slightly more mature young man frowned, his tone was more serious, and he saw that the young man named Ah Lang resisted very strongly, and immediately sighed, and his tone gradually softened: "Not all people from the ground are like you think, they will also have times when they are forced to do so, but I think that the person who was stunned by you was probably pitted." ”

After all, where would normal people come to such a place, they will either be forced to do so like them, or they will have abnormal brains.

And underground, there are two kinds of abnormal brains, one is self-inflicted, and the other is pure bad luck.

"You bring the man back, you will be responsible for him, take care of and protect him from now on until he recovers!"

The slightly mature young man's final tone was particularly non-negotiable, and he stood up as he spoke, looking like he was about to leave.

Xinglang wanted to say something, and was about to catch up: "Wait ......"

"Hmm......"

Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the direction of the bed.

Almost at the same time, the two of them reacted in the same way, their eyes immediately looking for the direction from which the movement came, looking at the person who had been lying in a coma on the bed for a long time without any movement.

"Brother Ning! Is that kid awake?! "The most surprising thing is Xinglang, who doesn't know how to hide his emotions at all, he is happy and angry, and he is angry, which is always so easy to guess.

The young man who was called Brother Ning did not answer him when he heard this, but walked quickly to the side of the bed and asked tentatively, "Are you okay?" ”

Bai Shiying, who was placed on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, looked around a little confused, and didn't react for a while, she only felt a terrible headache, as if she had fallen to the ground?

Wait a minute.

Knocked on the ground?!

Bai Shiying stopped rubbing her brows, and she sat up suddenly, startling the two people who were approaching.

"Wow, what are you doing, surprised! You can't just wake up with such a big movement! Xinglang was frightened and took a half step back, but reacted quickly, patted his chest, and said dissatisfiedly while complaining.

Seeing that this person also looked uncomfortable and sick, he was still guilty in his heart for a while, but he didn't know that the person sat up directly from the bed, almost not scaring him.

"......" Bai Shiying turned his head to look at the two in a daze.

First, the closest to him looked at the slightly older boy, and then ......

"It's you! I remember you, it was you who hit me...... Me, how long have I been asleep? What is this place? Who are you? Bai Shiying's mind is messy, this can't be compared to sleeping until she wakes up naturally, the back of her head still hurts.

"Don't worry, if you have any questions, I will answer you one by one, how are you feeling now, do you still hurt? Is there anything wrong with it? Ningxia asked softly in a gentle voice.

He looked at the young man in front of him who was only one or two years older than Ah Lang, maybe sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Uncomfortable?" Bai Shiying was subconsciously silent for a few seconds, and after a moment, she shook her head: "Except for a little headache, there is nothing uncomfortable." ”

Ningxia suddenly showed a little apology on his face: "I'm really sorry, Ah Lang, this kid is usually reckless, I didn't expect to hit you this time and even make you unconscious, I have already taught him a lesson, you can rest assured that you can cultivate here these days, if you have anything to do, just ask Ah Lang, he will take care of you until you are fine." ”

"Brother Ning!!" Xinglang is still puffing up, but he is obviously helpless.

Ningxia chuckled lightly and said to Bai Shiying: "I haven't had time to introduce myself yet, you can call me Ningxia, you can be regarded as the owner of this room, as for Ah Lang, you can also call him Xinglang any name." ”

"I don't know what we should call you?" Ningxia's speech and sentences are extremely gentle, and at the same time, they give people an extremely comfortable and rigorous feeling.

He didn't fit in with the darkness behind him.

Even if he was wearing a nasty dark cloth shirt, there were many sewing marks on it, and the material of the clothes was also washed a little white, but the temperament and habitual natural conversation that exuded from the inside made him different.

Bai Shiying withdrew her silent gaze, closed her eyes and opened them again, she had already returned to her normal appearance: "Shiyun." ”

"I'm fine, I don't have to let him take care of me, if you really want to apologize, you can tell me where this is and why you're here, that's fine." Bai Shiying felt that it was not a loss if her brain was still there, although it was a bit embarrassing to say it by being knocked unconscious or something.

But whatever he does, he is also Shi Yun Di, and she is not Bai Shiying.

"You're really not polite at all...... Xing Lang suddenly pursed the corners of his mouth and muttered quietly.

As soon as Ningxia turned around, he immediately looked away and didn't say anything.

"You're welcome? I think I'm already very polite, I've always told you how polite you want me to be? Bai Shiying's eyebrows were lightly raised, and her tone was playful and teasing.

Xinglang's eyes widened at the boss, but he didn't dare to say anything, and finally his face was red, but he still didn't say a word.

"And I just want to know where I am, this little brother Ah Lang looks so kind and friendly, you shouldn't refuse a person who was stunned by you and couldn't find the direction to ask for directions, right?"

I don't know if it's intentional, Bai Shiying's tone is very pitiful, so the listener is sad, and the listener is crying.

"I ...... I didn't say it...... You! Hum! ”

Xing Lang snorted coldly, turned around and ran to the side, not caring about Bai Shiying anymore.

If you look closely.

You will notice that the tips of his ears are still slightly red, so this is annoyance.

Bai Shiying's eyesight has always been good, so the smile on his face is naturally much brighter, and Ningxia, who can see it on the side, secretly smacks his tongue in his heart.

However, he didn't stop it, and naturally he could see that Bai Shiying had no malicious intent.

"Ah Lang is always so open-mouthed, this matter is our fault, so I will say what you want to know." Ningxia sighed, when will he understand what can be said and what words cannot be said.

Xinglang is a straight person, when he picked him up, Ningxia didn't take long to know that he had picked up a little trouble.

He's not a trouble-loving person.

Having spent so much time here alone, he has long been accustomed to no one around him, and he is also used to being cold and lonely around, and suddenly there is a child who can make him have to bend down to apologize to others every three or five days, Ningxia is more helpless in his heart.

"It's not above ground, I don't know how you got here, but it's underground, a world completely cut off from the ground."

Such an opening statement is really straightforward.

Bai Shiying was surprised, underground?

Yes, she's going underground.

It's just that she thinks that what she saw with her own eyes are two completely different concepts.

She thought that there was really no one in the underground who didn't have so many traces of habitation, at most there was something like a sneak attack by a mechanism, but she never thought that there were still people living here!

The people of the Phantom Moon Empire love to dig holes in the ground, and look at what is being drilled under that good imperial capital, so these people also burrow into the ground to live? She shouldn't be under the imperial capital of the Phantom Moon Empire!

"It's not what you think, we live underground, and we call it underground, not just because it's like there's no sun or moon underground, but there's ...... Those of us who can't see the light of day, can only shrink into a corner to survive. Ningxia suddenly interjected an explanation.

Bai Shiying blinked, and she was seen, and she asked calmly: "So you are different from places like dungeons, they really live underground, and you just call this place underground." ”

"Dungeons?" Ningxia seemed surprised, and then nodded flatly: "Well, it can be understood so." The dungeon is underneath the Phantom Moon Empire, and we ...... Probably somewhere, those who came in and couldn't get out, and even these wooden clothes were the items that other of us brought with us when we came in. ”

"There is no currency here, everyone likes to barter, occasionally there will be a few unlucky people who fall, and the living people will naturally stay and become one of us, and if they die, things will be taken possession by others."

Bai Shiying felt that he was saying something extraordinarily cruel in the most plain and ordinary tone, but this was also a helpless way, and he had to do it if he wanted to live.

"Here, the most valuable things are food, seeds, and then clothing, fabrics, etc." Ningxia said in particular.

He was also reminding Bai Shiying not to be cheated in the future, it was bad enough to come down from above, at least the life of An'an here would be better in the future.

Bai Shiying: "......" Has she been misunderstood?

Never mind.

Misunderstanding is misunderstanding.

"Do you still want to get out?" Ningxia suddenly asked.

“…… Is it so obvious? Bai Shiying asked puzzled and surprised.

Ning Ning shook her head: "No, it's just that your reaction is not like the reaction that you should have if you are going to be trapped in a place in the future, she seems to think that these have nothing to do with you, and you don't care about what I say, but you are extra focused when you mention this place itself...... Shi Yun, I've finished answering your question, and now it's your turn to solve my doubts. ”

He always has a kind of leisurely self-satisfaction in which everything is under control, and even answering doubts is very natural from him to the person opposite, and he doesn't feel that Bai Shiying will refuse at all.

To be more precise, he concluded that Bai Shiying would say, and he didn't dare to refuse to answer!

Bai Shiying was silent.

"Ah Lang said, you appeared suddenly, so he didn't react for a while before he bumped into and stunned you, no one has come to this place for a long time, the last one came or left more than ten years ago, I don't know what method he used to go, that was the only time I looked away."

Ning Xia said in the end, his tone sank slightly, as if he was very annoyed that he had missed the opportunity by looking away, but he was only annoyed, he did not show favor to the other party, and that person naturally did not need to consider his thoughts and situation.

"You know what, there are only two kinds of people who come here, one is self-inflicted, and the other is unlucky."

"Why, you're suddenly here?"

There was no place where the aura was oppressed, but Bai Shiying felt that there was a trace of danger in the air.

Ningxia still maintained her original appearance and stood not far from the bed, because Bai Shiying was sitting on the bed, so the height of the two determined that Ningxia was looking down on Bai Shiying, and all the emotional changes on her face were in her eyes.

"I guess none of the self-inflicted people are here." Bai Shiying said suddenly.

She raised her head and looked directly at Ningxia.

A smile was revealed.

"I came of my own free will, but I should have been cheated, so is there a word between self-inflicted and unlucky?"

Bai Shiying turned around, got up from the bed and tidied up his clothes casually, and said, "I'm not your enemy, I'm here to find something, related to my father or myself." ”

"Every single one of those who do it for themselves is here looking for something." Ningxia didn't believe that Bai Shiying was not because he said no.

He is not a person who trusts others easily, in Ah Lang's words, I just don't know if he will not even trust himself that day.

"They're looking for something too?" Bai Shiying frowned, but quickly returned to normal: "Maybe it's different, but my intuition tells me that I'm looking for the same thing as them, but it's still different, isn't it, they are looking for something that belongs to me when they are lost by others." ”

"So, what are you going to do with me?" Bai Shiying smiled slightly.

Ningxia's pupils shrank slightly.

He staggered Bai Shiying's slightly sharp eyes, and when he turned away, he couldn't help but feel a trace of chagrin in his heart, what was he hiding?!

"Leave to fend for yourself."

Ningxia said coldly.

He tested his life, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious, he hoped that Bai Shiying would leave by himself.

"There are two types of people who come here, one is the murderer or accomplice who caused us to be trapped here, and the other is mostly innocent implicated, you say that you may have been trapped, but I can't believe your words, but the fact that you came to find something will not be fake." Ningxia didn't look at Bai Shiying again, and his attitude suddenly became particularly indifferent: "Remember, step out of this door, don't tell the people here your purpose, I will keep it secret and tell you a lot of information here, just as compensation...... Please. ”

Bai Shiying sighed imperceptibly, she didn't entangle, and she shouldn't waste time here.

It's before you leave and step out the door.

She suddenly said with a smile in her voice: "You said that you wouldn't believe my words, but in the end you still believe it?" ”

She herself doesn't know if she is looking for the same thing, but this person has a preconceived idea, although Bai Shiying doesn't care, otherwise she won't tell the truth, because there is no need to fool, this person named Ningxia is not a soft persimmon that is easy to handle at first glance, and it is even more difficult to use him to do anything than to lift this place.

“……”

Until Bai Shiying left.

endured the silent Xinglang and finally couldn't help it.

"Brother Ning? Brother Ning, are you listening? …… Brother Ning!! ”

After shouting a few times, no one took care of it, and Xinglang raised his voice a little.

At this time, Ningxia finally came to his senses.

"Huh?" Ningxia looked at Xinglang, the young man's face had a lot of desire to speak, and he suddenly smiled helplessly: "Ah Lang, I said, you can say anything you want to say, I have never punished you for anything, have I?" ”

"That's what I said, but Brother Ning, you really ...... Leave him alone like that? That kid can't believe everything he said, in case he really just casually ......" Xinglang didn't finish speaking, and he was speechless.

Because the person in front of him is familiar and unfamiliar.

Xinglang was silent, he had never been afraid of Ningxia, except for one situation, Ningxia did not smile without the tolerant smile he was familiar with, and even silently, staring coldly at a person or a place.

"Why don't you go on?"

Ningxia said lightly: "You want to help him?" Ah Lang, you and he have only known each other for less than a few minutes, so you believe in someone you know in a few minutes? ”

Xinglang lowered his head and looked at his toes, and the whole person looked a little unrefreshed.

"If you want to help, you can help, I won't care about you, but if something happens, you have to bear the consequences, I won't save you." Xinglang's reaction was beyond Ningxia's expectations, he shouldn't have said this, but in the end, he was relieved because he couldn't hold back his heart, even if this relief sounded cold and ruthless.

But that's the kind of person he is.

A poor creature trapped in one place endlessly, why does he still want to live in a tolerant way of normal people? Especially if it's a place where you can face cannibalism at any time......

Star Wave was kicked out of the room.

As soon as he came out.

In the corner of the house that was empty just now, the sound of stones falling to the ground immediately sounded, and he looked in a certain direction without surprise, and sure enough, several people leaned out half of their bodies together.

"This way, this way!"

The man at the bottom beckoned to him.

Xinglang didn't have much interest, these guys usually can't see people, and as soon as something happened, they ran farther and came over to see the excitement, kicking the stones, Xinglang still walked over.

"What for?"

Xinglang said angrily.

The others looked at each other, the last one to push, and the child who had just waved at him spoke.

"What did Brother Ning call you for? Just now we saw a fresh face that we hadn't met before, he was Brother Ning's friend? ”

That's what I asked.

Xinglang rolled his eyes and slammed back mercilessly: "Do you think Brother Ning can have friends like that?" ”

Who dares to be friends with Ningxia?

Don't look at the usual amiable, and even pick up children everywhere to raise, obviously a happy and quiet personality but made a decision against himself, but once he stepped on his bottom line, it was very terrifying!

How scary is it?

Some dishonest outsiders will eventually be fooled to Ningxia here, and finally will disappear inexplicably, plus the people here are respectful and smiling to Ningxia, no one who is not long-eyed dares to pull down a face in Ningxia, it doesn't matter if you don't want to live, everyone hasn't lived enough!

It seems to think of something in the past.

Suddenly, the other side was silent, and the reproachful eyes fell on the child who spoke just now.

"Just in case, just in case...... Ha ha. The kid scratched his head in embarrassment.

"What about the big brother Xinglang just now?" The little girl blinked her eyes.

"That big brother looks much taller than Xinglang, but it's not as good as Brother Ning, Xinglang, didn't you say that you must be taller this year? Why are you still so short! ”

The corners of Xinglang's eyes twitched sharply, and he still lost his senses: "Are you short?" Little winter melon, no matter how short I am, I am taller than us, and I can run faster than you! ”

"Go and go, play while playing, if you are really bored, go and play with Brother Ning, he will definitely be happy to accompany you." Xinglang impatiently began to chase people.

Suddenly, the children dispersed, and the laughter continued.

One of them turned around and grimaced: "Don't listen to you!" Who would like to play with Brother Ning! ”

“…… I'm going to die these few, and when I get caught red-handed one day, I'll see how arrogant you are! ”

Xinglang scolded.

As soon as he turned around, the whole person was immobilized, but he saw that Ningxia didn't know when he was standing behind him.

Xinglang laughed dryly, but before he could say anything, Ningxia seemed to have heard nothing, and took the child's old shoes that had not been sewn and returned to the room.

The moment the door closed, there was a sound that was neither light nor heavy.

Xinglang wants to cry without tears.

"No, why is this happening......"

……

The other side.

Bai Shiying exchanged food for a piece of clothing that was easy to blend into this place, simply cleaned herself, and made her neatly combed hair a little rough according to the appearance of the people she met along the way in her memory.

Looking at the people in the mirror, at least they don't look like outsiders.

Bai Shiying left the space satisfied.

When she stepped back onto the underground road, Bai Shiying recognized the direction below, and only heard the sound of running and wheezing not far behind her.

Bai Shiying turned his head.

The star wave stopped, and almost didn't come up in one breath.

"How are you?"

"How did you become like this?"

Two completely different voices sounded at the same time, and both sides were stunned.

Bai Shiying looked down at herself and shrugged: "Is there anything wrong with integrating into the local area?" ”

"Not really, you're pretty smart." Xinglang shook his head like a rattle, he suddenly remembered something, and finally rested for a while and took a few breaths: "By the way, I'm here to tell you, if you want to find that thing, you can go to the mining area to try your luck, this side is all inhabited with people's buttocks, and you know that it can't be there!" ”

"I have brains, why think with my ass?"

“……？ Is that the point? You didn't mean it! ”

Bai Shiying's eyebrows suddenly stretched slightly, and she bowed slightly gratefully: "I think you will come, it should have nothing to do with Ningxia." ”

"Brother Ning...... He actually has no malicious intentions, it's just that he is more xenophobic, and the people here are very xenophobic Brother Ning is the most serious. Xinglang scratched his head, and he said, "I don't like you very much, but for the sake of you being knocked unconscious by me, you should take more care." ”

Bai Shiying: "You don't need to mention it again." ”

"Uh-oh."

After Xinglang responded, he realized later: "No, why am I listening to you?!" ”

"It doesn't matter, do you know where the mine is going?"

“……”

"I really don't know, you outsiders don't know how to ask about the situation before you come, and you don't even know the place."

"Ah Lang, I was trapped." Although it is also half voluntary.

Xinglang sighed, he looked around, and finally said dryly: "Good people do it to the end, Brother Ning always teaches us to help others more, obviously he himself is disgusted with others a lot of the time, today I am in a good mood and I will show you the way for free, next time I will increase the price!" ”

"Markup? How much to add? Bai Shiying chuckled and asked.

Xinglang glanced at her suspiciously: "Are you really planning to have a next time?" I'll tell you, I'm very expensive, at least three pieces of dry food! ”

"Dry food?"

"yes...... You look very much like the kind that Brother Ning described, the son and young master of the rich and noble family above, we all eat dry food here and occasionally eat better to get some meat. ”

"But I think it's not bad, dry food can be stockpiled for a long time and won't be bad, other foods are too easy to spoil, you can't eat it if it's bad, and you will have a stomachache if you eat it, although Brother Ning can always find a way, but we've troubled him a lot, we can't trouble him like this, Brother Ning said that he wants to live a clean old age, although I don't know why a person wants to be clean and at the same time keeps picking up children that others don't want, every time it's not clean."

"What? Am I wrong? No, no, no, I'm not wrong, Brother Ning is really living an old life, don't you find that he speaks very vicissitudes of life, and he likes to talk about big truths! ”

"Although I don't hate Brother Ning, who is a big reasoner, but he talks endlessly, it is easy to get sleepy when he listens, and it is easy to be scolded if he is sleepy, and he will be unhappy when he is scolded."

Xing Lang did have a lot of words, and he shook himself clean unconsciously along the way with Bai Shiying, this is still the case when Bai Shiying didn't ask anything, if she asked, she didn't know what it would be like.

Bai Shiying shook her head helplessly.

She seems to finally understand Ningxia's mood, this is not only frizzy, but simply heartless.

"When we arrived, this was the largest underground mine, and of course, because there was no other place but the ore here, it was called the largest." Xinglang pointed ahead, only to see that in the dark cavern on the side, he could occasionally see a dim fire that could almost be called a tiny light.

Can't see clearly.

It's huge, though.

"There is such a big pit...... Bai Shiying said in surprise.

"Is it big? Oops, did I accidentally say it, this is really the biggest mine?! Xinglang said in surprise, rubbing his hands excitedly: "This is terrible, I want to talk to them when I go back, and I will say, my eyesight is not ordinarily strong!" ”

"This is the largest pit...... Could it be your temporary ......" Bai Shiying was speechless, but I don't know why she took it for granted.

Xinglang is like this, she is not surprised at all.

How long have we been together.

Damn, she's assimilated?!

Xinglang was straightforward: "Yes, I thought of it temporarily, as long as something is the strongest and largest, it is unique, and our mining area here is unique, so of course it can be explained in this way." ”

Bai Shiying: "...... Yes. ”

"The road below, can you be alone? Otherwise, I'll lead the way, I always feel that you, a person who doesn't even know where the mining area is, will go and never return if you go alone, and I don't want to kill you. ”

Xinglang was entangled, he had no intention of following Bai Shiying in, he should have been sent here and then what would happen inside had nothing to do with him.

Bai Shiying raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally shook his head: "You go back, if you don't go back, he should be worried." ”

This is none other than Ningxia.

Xinglang exhaled, and he said helplessly: "You can rest assured about this, Brother Ning will not worry about us, for him, picking up one and picking up a few more can be the same, if there is no one, there are several others, he will not feel lonely." ”

"It's decided! I'll go in with you! Xing Lang's eyes showed a bit of determination, and he was very sure of Bai Shiying's attitude: "Don't worry too much about my safety, I can run faster than you, and none of these little cubs are slippery than me, so you just need to pay attention to the thing you are looking for." ”

“…… Xinglang, you seem to be different from Ningxia them? You said that they were xenophobic, but you, I didn't see that you were xenophobic. Bai Shiying did not agree or refuse, but asked another topic that she was more concerned about.

Xing Lang was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly said: "Oh, you said this, of course I don't feel anything, I was picked up by Brother Ning, didn't I say everything?" ”

"I was here when I laughed very much, for me there is no nut world on the ground, so I don't know what is good on the earth, and it is also a very lucky thing, Brother Ning often envy me because of this."

"Because I don't know anything, I like the place where I grew up, and naturally I don't reject you outsiders so much."

Quite rightly so.

also has his star wave style, the reason is just that he has lived here since he was a child, so this is already his home, so naturally there is no dissatisfaction.
