The small friction sound interrupted Lu Mi's thoughts, she followed the sound curiously, and a pair of small red eyes the size of a bean in the corner of the wall looked at her smartly and vigilantly, and saw that she didn't make any moves, and slipped out boldly.
Lu Mi watched its long, black little body wander around flexibly, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Is this a mouse?" "No wonder this kid was so surprised, she hadn't really seen a mouse yet.
The little mice rummaged around to no avail, and then "stabbed" and got under the pile of straw, and after a while, they actually led five or six little mice out, and a group of little mice scattered, sniffing here, sniffing there, and even found some leftovers, and a group of mice swaggered in front of Lu Mi to "squeak" and eat, and after eating another nest into the straw pile.
Lu Mi looked at it interestingly, and his heart was playful, and he took out a crooked stick from his sleeve that looked like gold but not gold, like jade and not jade, which was also something that was pulled out of Tieyi Village. Picking aside the straw on the ground with a stick, the damp musty smell underneath was even stronger, mixed with the stench of rats. Lu Qiqi hurriedly closed his nose so as not to be irritated.
The straw that had been covered was suddenly gone, and the rats were left exposed, and it took a while for them to react that their territory had been turned over. But the opponent was too strong for them to resist, and they squeaked, squeaked, and crawled into the rat hole under the wall.
"Uh, isn't this rat hole too big?" Lu Qiqi muttered to herself, saying that it was a rat hole, she felt that the white wolf who was locked in the cave behind Qingmiao Mountain could get into it, and after estimating her figure, it seemed that it would not be difficult to get in.
Usually the hole is well covered and undiscovered. If it weren't for her debt, I don't know how long it would have been before it was revealed.
Looking at the black entrance of the cave, Lu Mi's eyes kept rolling, looking very mysterious, do you want to go down and have a look. But when it's so dark, could there be something terrible waiting for her down there?
Eventually, curiosity overcame her fear of the unknown, and she excitedly and expectantly began to prepare for the hole.
The entrance to the cave is not very large, and it needs to be enlarged a few more times in order to accommodate her well. There are no digging tools such as shovels and hoes in the sleeve pockets, it doesn't matter, isn't there a sword that sharpens iron like clay, and cutting some clay bricks is not like cutting tofu.
As soon as she said so, she drew her silver sword and buried herself in the wall. If his third senior brother knew that the sword he forged was actually used by her to dig a rat hole, he didn't know how he would feel.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Mi was so interested in digging that she didn't know that someone was coming next to her, and it wasn't until the other party opened her mouth that she was taken aback. She looked up, and then let go of her heart: "It's you, you're scared to death." β
In an empty place, suddenly someone was talking in your ear, and Rao is Lu Mi was also taken aback.
"It's you who are too attentive. Ao Tuo was speechless, "You haven't said what you're doing?"
"Dig a hole. Lu Mi said and continued to dig in the soil, such an obvious thing still needs to be said, she won't look at it.
An Xian looked at the hole that was getting bigger and bigger, almost enough to accommodate him, and asked, "Are you trying to dig a hole and escape?"
This method is really stupid, not to mention the time it takes, and the amount of labor is still very large, so it is not as convenient and quick as they directly twist the chain on the cell door.
"Do I look that stupid?" Lu Qiqi stopped his movements and looked at him with idiotic eyes, "I found a strange mouse hole, and I was going to go down and take a look." β
Look at the mouse hole, this brain circuit is strange enough. Ao Tuo and An Xian really don't know what to say, what kind of brains will force people to make a move to drill a rat hole.
"Let's get out of here first. Ao Tuo touched his arm and said: "It's gloomy here, I don't know how many ghosts there are." β
Lu Qiqi looked at the rat hole that was almost completed, and said, "Then you guys go, I'll go from here." With that, she dug up another sword, then put the sword away, and took out a fist-sized night pearl, the green light illuminated the hole, she looked left and right and said in surprise: "You see, it is very big inside, enough for one person to go." β
"I went down. As he spoke, he held the pearl of the night and drilled into it.
Ao Tuo was helpless, he couldn't really let her go by alone, who knows if there are really only mice in this hole. Lu Qiqi is a person, what he said is that he is a master of art and bold, but he is stupid and bold, and he doesn't even have an idea when he encounters something, so he knows that he is blindly breaking through with a lot of energy.
"Master, I'm going down too, you...... Let's see. Ao Tuo looked at An Xian's thick body, and then looked at the low passage, and decided that it was still difficult for people not to be strong.
An Xian is also very helpless, the lame Taoist still doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't know where to find him, and now he has to be separated from these two people, what is he doing alone. So, with a horizontal heart, he lay on the ground and went in.
This rat hole is unexpectedly large, it is estimated that it is a passage dug by the guy who escaped from prison in front of him, and the term is very low, and Lu Qiqi and Ao Tuo are crawling on the ground on all fours. Poor An Xian could only land on the ground and crawl forward like an earthworm.
Gradually, the hole got higher and higher, and they went from climbing to bending over, and finally even An Xian was able to stand up and walk normally, and his bald head was still a long way from the top.
"ThisβIs this really a rat hole?" An Xian was shocked and puzzled, what kind of rat could make such a huge passage, and become a jing.
Ao Tuo touched the wall of the passage, pondered for a while, and said, "It's not a mouse, it's artificial." "There are obvious shovel marks on the wall of the cave, and there are some small holes in the corners of the wall, which is the real mouse hole.
Lu Mi was puzzled: "Who is so boring that they actually dig such a long passage here?"
"You don't understand. Ao Tuo's tone was heavy, as a person who had come over, he really knew too well that he was locked up in a small space and longed for the vast world of the outside world. What's more, no one knows if this cell is held on death row, and under the threat of life, human potential is always unlimited.
Lu Qiqi now dislikes him the most like being old-fashioned, others don't understand everything, so he simply ignores him as he understands best.
"I don't think it's necessarily the escapee who dug it, he doesn't need to dig so big. An Xian gestured at the distance above his head, as long as a normal person can escape for his life, who will pay attention to the height and comfort of walking.
Yes, it's just to run for your life, and it's not to go underground for sightseeing, is it necessary to dig so high? Ao Tuo and Lu Mi both agreed with An Xian's words, but if the people who wanted to escape dug it, then who else would dig a passage under the cell.
