"Let's go and help too."

When Altai was about to lead people back to the ground again, Xia Lingge also took Si Cheng and Bai Xi to stand behind them, Xia Lingge raised his head and looked at Altai: "We can't always hide underground, this plan to destroy the gods can't be missed, let's also help." ”

Altai frowned, "But your identity ......"

"Just cover it up." Xia Lingge said, "And that companion of ours hasn't come back until now, and I'm also worried about ......"

"Haven't you been back until now?"

Altai was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed even tighter, he lowered his head and thought about it, his eyes fell on Xia Lingge and stared at him for a long time, and then said: "Yes, you can, but you must be very careful, don't be discovered by the people of the temple." ”

"Okay."

Xia Lingge, Si Cheng and Bai Xi went up the ladder and returned to the ground, facing the sunlight in the sky, there was an unreal feeling, the last time they came here at night, it was Xia Lingge They didn't see what the ground looked like, the desolate and decadent buildings collapsed, the dead wood branches were bare, there was no life, the stone road under their feet was rugged, and from a distance, it was full of barrenness.

Altai said to them: "Follow me closely, there will be two believers of the temple in the place where you are working, cover your faces so that they do not find out." ”

Xia Lingge, Si Cheng and Bai Xi took the scarf-like thing he handed over, wrapped it around their necks, and then dragged it slightly to cover half of their faces.

Twists and turns came to the construction site.

There were already many people busy there, but the emaciated body carried a thousand pounds of stones, and staggered forward little by little, the majestic statue of the god was ten meters high, ropes, wooden stakes were appropriated back and forth, and the chisel made a 'clanging' sound along the notch.

The endless toiling made them look like worthless machines, and the white-robed believers next to them whipped them mercilessly, waving long whips in their hands.

"Ah!!h

An old man collapsed to the ground in pain, and instead of supporting, he was swept down with a more violent whip.

"Stop!"

Altai hurriedly ran over and pressed in front of the old man, the long whip with barbs flung at his back, Altai frowned and snorted.

"It's you again."

The believer withdrew his whip and looked at him with disgust in his eyes: "The gods don't like nosy people, and this is my last piece of advice to you. ”

Altai picked up the old man, picked up the stone frame he was carrying, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Did the god tell you that if you do too much iniquity, you will go to hell." ”

"We're doing our job!"

The believer's expression became more and more unkind, "You have not spoken disrespectfully and destroyed the order set by the gods at will, you have not once or twice, today, I will punish you well on behalf of the gods......" He waved his long whip, "You are so nosy, then all the work today will be done by you alone, and no one will help you, because all the people who help you will end up with you." ”

Without hesitation, Altai picked up the stone basket and began to work, and the believer raised his long whip and waved it at the rest again: "I let him take charge of the work alone, but did you say that you should rest?" They all go to the cave to dig rock mines, and if his work is not finished today, none of you will be allowed to stop. ”

Xia Lingge, Si Cheng and Bai Xi entered the cave in the crowd, and Xia Lingge whispered to them: "Act when you have the opportunity, don't work so hard." ”

Si Cheng and Bai Xi nodded.

When they entered the cave and found that it was not as dark as they imagined, Xia Lingge shook it with a chisel at random, and scanned the faces of the miners back and forth without revealing his eyes, until he found a familiar face.

The man also took the chisel and pretended to chisel up and down, but for a moment, he looked around, and saw that the rest of the people were working, and the believer was also staring at Altai, who did not pay attention to this side at all, put away the chisel and turned a corner and disappeared.

Xia Lingge gestured to Si Cheng and Bai Xi, and disappeared along his path.

He was very familiar with the terrain of the cave, and after a while, he jumped outside from the mouth of another cave, Xia Lingge followed him left and right and returned to the original place, but he did not return to the ground, but found a stone cover with patterns, squatted down and knocked on it, and then pulled up the iron chain and pulled it, and the entire cover was lifted.

A trace of entanglement flashed in the eyebrows and eyes of the person leading the way, but when she remembered something, she sighed slightly and turned around to climb down, Xia Lingge hurriedly walked over, and looked at the circular hole from above, except for the rope ladder close to the side, she couldn't see anything in the dark, she didn't hesitate, and turned around and climbed down.

I don't know how far away it is, but there is a sound of talking from below.

"This is the food delivered today, you can eat it quickly."

Xia Lingge stopped moving, and she heard the voice of a young man leading the way.

"Today...... Why did you come so early to deliver ...... Isn't it...... What's the trouble......"

The answer to the young man was like an old lady, and her voice was uneven, as if she was suffering from some serious illness.

"No...... It's about the same as usual. ”

The old lady seemed to understand something, and sighed: "If you have anything to say, just say it...... Don't hide it......"

Xia Lingge looked down as much as possible, there were four torches burning in the cave, just enough to illuminate the scene below, the old lady was wrapped in thick cloth all over her body, only revealing a pair of cloudy eyes, and the dozen or so people around her were also dressed in the same way, the young man stood among them, with some hesitation but still said: "I'm sorry." ”

This sentence of 'sorry' carries many deep meanings, guilt, sadness, helplessness, and even ...... There is also some imperceptible relief.
