Chapter 23: Adventures in the Underground Palace (3)

Yan Shu was shocked: "What?

Li Yan nodded, and pulled out a single knife from his sleeve.

Yan Shu was overjoyed and said: "Great, there is hope this time! Although it is a broken knife, it can be slowly sharpened into the shape of a tool." I guess in three or five years we'll be able to escape from prison!"

Li Yan said: "Where can you wait so long? Big brother, you open your hand and stand back." ”

Yan Shu was puzzled: "Do you want to cut the chain?" little friend, I advise you not to dream, I know as soon as I touch it, this chain is made of stainless steel, and your knife will be curled when you touch it." Let's think about how to turn it into a tool......"

But before he finished speaking, he only felt a cold wind passing by. Li Yan didn't seem to move, and the knife was already in its sheath. And the shackles suddenly cracked two shiny fine lines.

Yan Shu broke it lightly, and the chain broke and fell to the ground.

He said dumbfoundedly, "God, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Li Yan scratched his head embarrassedly: "Brother Yan, what should I do next?"

Yan Shu moved his wrist and looked at Li Yan again: "Who are you......?" It has nothing to do with me, since you saved me and am my benefactor, I Lao Yan sacrificed my life to get you out of this underground palace. ”

Li Chuan pressed the knife and said, "Big brother, do you want me to cut this iron cage too?"

Yan Shu hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother, don't be reckless! Listen to me, the place where we are staying now is the cell area." Except for the jailers who come to deliver food once a day, it is rarely frequented by people on weekdays. It's not beautiful if you break out like this and alarm the guards, so it's better for us to dig a tunnel and escape, and we won't be able to catch up with us when others find out. ”

Li Yan said: "This method is good, but although my knife can cut gold and jade, digging soil is not very good." ”

Yan Shu smiled proudly: "Brother, you forgot, my nickname is 'Iron Arm Rat'." If you don't have some real talent and real learning, how can you dare to boast about this Haikou?" said Ba Ping stretched out his hands. When Li Yan looked at it, he saw that his bones were extremely thick, and his nails were as thick and hard as armor.

Yan Shu said: "Foolish brother, I dig the soil and make holes with a pair of arms, but I haven't used it for a long time, I don't know if it's rusty." Brother, you stare outside, I'll get out of the way!"

Li Yan said yes, and then stood at the door of the cell to watch. I only heard the rustling sound behind me, and after about half an hour, Yan Shu called softly: "Xiao Li, come quickly!"

Li Yan looked over and saw that Yan Shu had already made a round hole a foot wide, and it was so dark that he couldn't see how deep it was.

Yan Shu said: "You must remember to follow me closely, otherwise the backfill of the remaining soil will bury you alive!"

Li Yan was startled, hurriedly agreed, and the two of them went into the hole one after the other. I saw that Yan Shu was really like a fish in the sea, his hands flying up and down, without stopping. With every inch he digs, his body moves forward a minute, and his speed is not much slower than walking.

Li Yan only felt the mud and stones smashing his head and face behind him, but he was afraid of being buried alive, so he followed closely behind.

After a long time, Yan Shu suddenly stopped, tilted his head sideways and listened carefully to the movement, and then lowered his voice and said, "I calculated well, there is a sound of water here, it should be a drain." Let me go up and take a look. After that, I planed hard a few times and came across a bluestone slab. He carefully removed the slate and climbed out.

Li Yan waited in the cave, but he didn't come back for a long time, and his heart became more and more uneasy. And he climbed up. There was a strong rancid smell all around, and it couldn't be said to be bad. Li Yan saw that it was a mountain of old clothes. Yan Shu was sitting in a pile of clothes and sighed.

Li Yan asked, "Brother Yan, what's wrong?"

Yan Shu pulled his sparse beard and said in annoyance: "Wrong, all wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"Alas......" Yan Shu sighed, pointed around, and said: "According to my calculations, this should be a drainage, let's dig two or three miles along the flow of water to get out of trouble." But I didn't expect this to be a laundry room. It must have been my brother who changed the drawings. I really regret it, why did I give it to him!"

Li Yan comforted: "I think it doesn't matter if it's a laundry room, let's just find a way." ”

Yan Shu shook his head: "You don't understand. This dungeon is intricate, and there are many secret passages, and the slightest carelessness will kill you. It's a miracle that the two of us survived here, and it's really hard to say it. Alas...... In the first half of the day, the jailer will go to deliver the food. We'll be the turtles in the urn."

Li Yan said: "What if we break out?"

Yan Shu glanced at him: "Brother, I know that you have great martial arts and a treasure sword." But there are thousands of people in this underground palace, can you fight it? For now, we can only hide for a while, for a while......"

While the two were talking, they heard a squeak, and the door of the laundry room opened, and a maid came in, who happened to see the two of them.

Yan Shu reacted very quickly, stepped up and pressed her mouth, and threatened in a low voice: "Don't scream! If you dare to make a sound, you will break your neck!"

The maid was suddenly covered by a large hand, and she was almost collapsed in fright, and nodded weakly.

Yan Shu said: "Very good. Let me ask you a question, if I find out that you are lying, grandpa will still take your life!"

Yan Shu was originally a generous person, but at the moment of life and death, he became a little fierce for no reason. Seeing that the maid nodded again, Yan Shu removed his palm.

He was just about to ask, when he suddenly heard Li Yan's exclamation of "ah".

"Zhi'er, are you Zhi'er?"

The maid had a look of surprise in her eyes: "Who are you?

"Zhi'er, it's really you! I'm Li Remnant, you ugly brother!"

"Ugly?" Zhi'er looked him up and down: "You...... You've mistaken someone. ”

"No, no!" Li Yan shouted excitedly: "Do you remember that day I took you to fish, and you caught a basket full of fish and released it all! Also, you usually like to steal the dishes I cook, once you ate all the head of the roast suckling pig, and you were beaten by your father......

Zhi'er's eyes widened in surprise. This tone and demeanor are indeed Li Yan, and there are three points of similarity between the eyebrows, but no matter how big a person changes, it is impossible to turn a broken leg into a good one.

Li Yan saw her doubts and said, "I have an adventure like this now, and I will tell you about it slowly in the future." But you must believe me, I am Li Remnant!"

Zhi'er closed her eyes and listened to him, and after a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "That's right, you are an ugly bastard." I don't have to ask why, the only one who can make me believe unconditionally is you. Whatever you become, I remember you!"

Li Yan went up and grabbed her hand and said, "Great, Zhi'er! You don't know, I'm worried about you!"

Zhi'er suddenly broke free of her hand, turned her back and straightened her sideburns.

"Why didn't you come to me if you're worried?"

Li Yan explained: "You don't know, I rode Xiaobai into a valley, and there was a child named Lingzhuzi in it......

Zhi'er suddenly interrupted him: "Do you know, my father is dead!"

Li Yan was stunned by this sudden news, and there was an unbearable silence in the air.

Suddenly, Zhi'er choked up and said, "I stole the white horse, but my father said that he stole it." Zhang Xiaoqing ordered someone to beat him to death. Be...... I hurt him!"

Li Yan shook his head: "Impossible, how can this be?" As he spoke, big tears rolled out of his eyes.
