"What are you talking about?" the dog gently patted Ah Shui in his arms, looked at Li Zhao and asked.

Li Zhao leaned back, sighed, and asked, "Dog, how old are you?"

The dog didn't understand why Li Zhao suddenly asked like this, he hesitated for a moment, and replied honestly: "Thirteen years old." ”

"Have you seen the outside world?" asked Li Zhao again.

The dog shook his head.

"Want to go?"

The dog shook his head again.

His dark eyes blinked, and he spoke, "I used to think about it, but now I ...... I just want to find my father and my mother, it doesn't matter if I don't go out, it doesn't matter if I stay in the mine all my life, I just want to live well with them and Ah Shui. ”

As if he understood, Ah Shui sniffed and reached out to grab the dog's earlobe.

"You know something happened to them. Li Zhao raised his eyes to look at him, and his tone was very determined.

Qin Gang reached out to pull Li Zhao up, but instead of pulling, he found that Li Zhao's pulse was wrong.

"What's going on?!" Qin Geng's face sank and he squatted down on one knee.

"I ...... ......"Li Zhao was clasped by Qin Geng's wrist, opened his mouth and spit on the ground first.

The smell of blood suddenly permeated.

In the dimness, you can see a dark red pool of blood on the ground.

"I was hit when I blew up the hole just now, and I probably hurt my internal organs. Li Zhao raised his empty hand and calmly wiped the corners of his mouth and explained.

"I told you before, right? Your body is already in tatters right now, why do you dare to do such a dangerous thing?" Qin Gang was furious, but he could only take out the blood-replenishing pill and feed it to Li Zhao to chew and swallow.

"The hole was blown up, and I wanted to come in and take a look, but naturally I had to blow it up. Li Zhao replied with a smile as he chewed.

She intended to ease the atmosphere, but as a doctor, and as a vested interest in whether Li Zhao's life would continue or not, he couldn't laugh at all.

"Mingkong, you have to take care of your body, otherwise, no matter how good Qingfeng Valley's medical skills are, you won't be able to return to the sky. Qin Gang finished feeding the medicine and reached out to help Li Zhao up.

The dog on the side had already been frightened by Li Zhao's posture, he lowered his head to look at the pool of blood on the ground, and then looked up at Li Zhao, and replied in hindsight: "When Dad was taken away by them, he hid me and Ah Shui in the stove, and after he blackened the two of us with a fire, he hid us with saltpeter, so that we would not be discovered by those people. ”

At this, the dog's eyes sanctuated.

He sniffed, and continued with a trembling voice, "Dad said that they may not come back." ”

"Why do you say that?" Li Zhao took a sip of the water bag handed by Qin Geng and asked.

"Half a month ago, all the mines were stopped, and those mountain bandits in Yangpengling only increased the number of guards at first, and then reduced our three meals, one meal a day, and were not allowed to leave the mines to which they belonged. "After about ten days of this, the bandits began to take some of the people, and they never came back. ”

He hasn't spoken to anyone for several days, and from the initial vigilance to the current answer, Li Zhao's gentleness has contributed a lot.

"Let's go. Qin Geng tugged at Li Zhao's sleeve, turned his finger and pointed to the fork in the road, "Take you to see it, and you'll know." ”

When Li Zhao came, he felt that the fork was very long, but when he left, he had already returned to the fork in the road, and the mouth had been marked by Qin Gang, and with the mark, Qin Gang took Li Zhao back to the fork he left at the beginning very easily.

Ding Youhai and Xue Huai were rummaging through things at this time.

No, it should be said that under the leadership of Ding Youhai and Xue Huai, all the iron dragoons were rummaging for things.

Different from the mine cave that Li Zhao went to, the spacious mine in front of him was full of bookshelves, roughly calculated, there were twenty or thirty of them, and the iron dragon rode through it, engrossed.

"Uncle Hai. Li Zhao jumped reflexively, landed on the ground, and shouted with a smile as usual.

Ding Youhai turned around and looked, his brows frowned first, he closed the book in his hand, and asked as he walked towards her, "Why did you come down?"

"I heard an explosion, so I came to take a look, and found that someone from outside had blown up the entrance, so I thought I would help you clear the hole, so that you wouldn't have to get back in time. Li Zhao replied obediently with his hands behind his back.

Qin Geng snorted meaninglessly on the side, and then was swept away by Li Zhao's eyes, and held back what he was about to say.

"How did you get in?" Ding Youhai hurriedly looked Li Zhao up and down, with a look of concern.

"Uncle Hai, the little thing you gave Yizhu. Li Zhao stuck out his tongue and smiled, his eyes turned and beckoned to Xue Huai, who was coming over, and changed the topic: "Ah Huai, what are you looking for?"

"Xiaozhao! How can you use that thing easily? Did it hurt you?" Ding Youhai was anxious later, wanting to hold Li Zhao, but worried about whether she was injured on her body, and she didn't dare to use too much force, so he could only turn his head and scold Gu Yizhu, "How did Gu Yizhu spread the message?!" What I clearly said was that I seemed to know this mine, and the emblem at the entrance of the cave seemed to have seen it, so I came down first, and before I came down, in case you were worried, I gave him the fire detonator and asked him to give it to you, so that when you compare, you should know why I came down. ”

"You mean the emblem on this?" Li Zhao turned his hand and took out the copper tube from his arms, turned his fingers, and showed the Li character at the bottom to take a look, then turned back to Ding Youhai and said, "If this is the case, I didn't have time to take a closer look at the cave entrance." At that time, the entrance of the cave was blown up, and when I saw Yizhu throwing me the fire detonator, I thought that Uncle Hai was a clever man, and asked me to use it to blow up the hole. ”

In addition to explaining, he also secretly complimented Ding Youhai.

After speaking, Li Zhaosecond turned around, put the copper tube back in his arms, squeezed his eyebrows at Xue Huai, and motioned for him to tear the topic away.

Xue Huai said very respectfully: "We have checked the entire underground mine, according to Senior Ding, this place was originally a saltpeter mine used by Li Chengyi's predecessors, but these mountain bandits on Yangpengling obviously discovered this mine by some mistake and used it." ”

"What about these bookshelves?" Li Zhao leaned over to look at the book in Xue Huai's hand.

The book in Xue Huai's hand looked a little old, yellowed, the edge of the paper rolled up, and the recipe and record of gunpowder were written on it.

"The book must have been looted by those people in Yangpengzhai. Xue Huai replied, "Smelting-related, saltpeter-related books are the majority, there are also Danfang and alchemy, most of these books have annotations, look at the handwriting is from the same person, I think, in the entire Yangpeng Village, the one with this ability and energy should be that Xiao Wuyi." ”
