Chapter 49: Little Helper in the Mine

Lu Wanyin was standing at a corner, and one step forward was Lao Mo who came over after hearing the sound.

Two hundred meters behind him was the location of the guard who greeted Lao Mo.

She held her breath and pressed herself against the inner wall of the corner.

His ears listened to the movements in both the front and the back, while his eyes were fixed on the front.

As Lao Mo approached, a long, cold sword appeared in Lu Wanyin's sight.

The next moment, the long sword slashed towards her with lightning speed.

At such a dangerous moment, she deliberately rubbed the sole of her shoe hard on the ground.

Because of the friction sound, Lao Mo determined that someone was hiding in the corner.

He stepped around the corner with his long legs, exerted force on his hands, and slashed down with enough force to split a man in two.

"Where can the thief escape?"

Because of this loud shout, most of the guards guarding two hundred meters in front and behind came running to support.

The long knife cut deep grooves in the cave wall.

But there was no one in front of Lao Mo.

A guard looked around vigilantly and asked, "Where are the people?"

In disbelief, Lao Mo used his knife to chop horizontally and vertically where Lu Wanyin had stood.

The voice clearly revealed the meaning of "I saw a ghost".

He said, "It's right here! I just heard the sound of feet scraping against the ground! And I saw a pink figure!"

The mine tunnel is not very wide and can only accommodate six people walking side by side.

There wasn't any clutter either.

Forget about the pink figure, even a mouse can't hide.

The guard, unable to see anyone, complained silently, "Old Mo, you've drunk some horse urine again! Stop yelling like that! If we don't get crushed by the mine, we'll be scared to death."

“I didn’t drink today!”

Lao Mo was anxious. "What I said was true! A living person just disappeared like that!"

Another guard rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Why don't you listen to what you are saying? Why don't you just say that God saw that you were lonely and sent you a fairy wife?"

The long sword is sheathed.

Lao Mo can still recall the fleeting figure he saw when he turned the corner.

He was absolutely certain that he was not mistaken!

Lao Mo was extremely panicked: "Everyone be careful tonight, I think something is wrong!"

The twenty or so guards burst into laughter.

One of the leading officers smiled and said, "Alright, alright, it's only a few days until your monthly salary is paid. You can have as much fun as you want then."

"No, I really..."

As soon as Lao Mo opened his mouth, the young general's face darkened: "Stop the alarmist talk! If we fail in this mission, our heads will be kicked around like balls."

As he spoke, the young general scolded the other guards who were watching the fun: "You're all just standing there waiting for me to give you women, why don't you get back to your positions!"

Obviously, he didn't believe a word of what Lao Mo said about the "pink figure".

Lao Mo wanted to explain, but was shoved away by the guards who were returning to their posts.

"Next time, look carefully before you shout, and don't let us get scolded for nothing."

Afterwards, no matter how Lao Mo explained, no one believed him.

Even the guards who were on duty with him were teasing him about being crazy about women.

He was so miserable that he couldn't express his feelings.

In the shadows two hundred meters away, Lu Wanyin witnessed with her own eyes that most of the guards stationed there went to provide support.

But there are still two guards left to defend this place.

In other words, no matter where there is any unusual movement, there will be someone guarding each guard post.

Trouble.

These guards can't be cleared out, how can she take over the entire mine?

Lu Wanyin went deeper into the center pit while thinking of a solution.

Squeak, squeak, squeak——

In the dark mine tunnel, several rats, fatter than rabbits, gathered together to eat the leftovers scattered on the ground.

They noticed Lu Wanyin approaching but were not frightened at all.

There was even one mouse that didn't even turn around and turned its back to her.

Whether it is a human or an animal, they will only turn their backs to someone they trust.

Lu Wanyin's eyes lit up slightly.

These rats don't trust her so much just because of her ability to tame animals.

Rather, all the miners working in the mines never do anything to harm them.

Even actively feed them.

She had heard that rats were the patron saints of miners.

Because they have a strong sense of oxygen content, mineral vibration, etc., they will run away quickly once there is danger.

When the miners see their reactions, they will quickly flee the dangerous mines to save their lives.

Lu Wanyin's eyes sparkled as she squatted down beside the fattest rat: "Little Fatty, are you full?"

He must be a small leader if he can eat so much and get so fat.

In the darkness, the fat mouse's green eyes rolled around twice. He ignored Lu Wanyin, turned his back and continued to eat the leftovers.

Lu Wanyin was not in a hurry either.

After waiting until they had almost finished eating, she reached out and poked the fat mouse's plump buttocks.

"I'll make a deal with you. Take your brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and mothers and run out as fast as you can. Then stay out for a while and I'll give you lots of delicious food."

Fat Mouse:

In this mine, anyone who sees it will offer food to it.

Why does this stupid woman negotiate with it?

How dare you alarm its entire clan? How ridiculous!

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Lu Wanyin relies on her special abilities to tame animals, but she cannot understand animal language.

But at this moment, she could also hear the anger in the fat rat's cry.

She took out a plate of osmanthus cake from the space.

She had collected this osmanthus cake from the stove in the imperial kitchen when she looted the palace.

The steaming hot temperature makes the sweet fragrance of osmanthus even more intense.

“Squeak!”

The fat mouse ran over in two steps, its fat body trembling.

Lu Wanyin was worried that the fat meat would cause it to turn into a turtle.

Lu Wanyin raised the plate and placed one hand on Fat Haozi's forehead.

"The osmanthus cake is still hot. Wait a minute. Now you can talk to me about whether you want to cooperate or not."

The fat mouse watched the fragrant osmanthus cake being taken away, and his four legs were almost shaking leaving afterimages.

But he was still unable to move forward.

Its little nose sniffed and sniffed: "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

Lu Wanyin simply and crudely attributed this reaction to "desire".

She deliberately shook the plate so that the fragrance of the osmanthus cake would envelop the fat mouse.

Lu Wanyin said seductively: "I still have a lot of these cakes. If you go out for a while, I will give you more."

She broke off a piece of osmanthus cake and placed it in front of Fat Mouse: "Are you going?"

The finger on his forehead was suddenly taken away, and the fat mouse lost his strength and fell straight forward.

As luck would have it, the pointed rat's mouth fell onto the pastry.

It opened and closed its mouth, and swallowed the cake in the blink of an eye.

The sweetness of osmanthus cake is something it has never tasted before.

The fat mouse's green eyes were narrowed into slits, which showed that it was enjoying the meal.

The next moment, it stood up straight and let out a long "squeak".
