"The roads out are all blocked, making it difficult for us to bring people out."
"Then wake her up and find out where that thing is!"
Guan Yuxi overheard the conversation between the two men.
The first to speak was a deep, middle-aged man's voice.
The old man who answered him spoke in a rather dignified voice.
Guan Yuxi racked her brains but couldn't remember where she had offended such a person!
Moreover, it involves anything of great importance.
Whether it was the original owner or her.
The farthest place I went was Hongshi.
Who would have attracted such a person?
Could it be...?
Guan Yuxi quietly clenched her fist.
He held his breath tightly, afraid of discovering that she had woken up.
However, no matter how hard she strained her ears, she could no longer hear a sound.
Even the two people who had just been talking left quietly.
It was as if what had just happened was merely a hallucination for her.
Just as she was hesitating about whether to move and try to open the sack,
A series of loud footsteps approached.
Thinking about their conversation just now.
Guan Yuxi suddenly moved.
Pretending to have just woken up, he blurted out, "Let me out?"
Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?
The sound of clattering footsteps.
It appeared particularly spacious.
Guan Yuxi guessed that she must have been taken to a large space.
The orange-red light flickered intermittently.
She guessed that the place they were in was either a basement or a cave.
Because the entire commune did not have a room large enough to produce an echo.
Suddenly, the light went out.
The person stood in front of Guan Yuxi.
He squatted down and untied the knot in the hemp rope.
Guan Yuxi crawled out of the sack.
"It's you?!"
He was a burly man following Leng Hongxing.
"You old bastard surnamed Dai, where did you hide that thing?"
He stared intently at Guan Yuxi.
One wrong eye can see right through a wrong eye.
Guan Yuxi looked blank and frowned, "You mean Grandpa Dai from the archaeological team?"
The things he gave me are naturally at my house.
Is Leng Hongxing struggling to make ends meet? Is he trying to rob me?
Then, she scoffed coldly.
He pulled a wad of cash from his pocket. "This is all I have on me. You can take it."
I'll send him two thousand when I get back.
I told him not to bother me anymore, that I had done everything I could for him…
The burly man didn't reach out to take the money.
His gaze lingered on her like a venomous snake.
"You know I'm not talking about money!"
Guan Yuxi's expression changed drastically.
She suddenly took a few steps back and shrieked, "What does Leng Hongxing mean?"
He wants me to be one of those rats that can't see the light of day?
She paused, then let out a long breath.
The defensive posture crumbled instantly.
She smoothed her fallen hair and said calmly, "The archaeological team hired my man to do the work."
And because Brother Fang was too impulsive, he offended me.
So they sent us a lot of things and gave us extra wages.
Besides that, I really don't know what you want.
The burly man's eyes remained fixed on her.
He took in her every move.
At this moment, he stared intently at her.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
It seemed to be judging the veracity of her words.
Guan Yuxi looked back at him calmly.
His eyes held a mixture of confusion and suppressed anger.
After a long pause, she looked away and said irritably, "I really don't know what you're talking about."
Otherwise, let me go back first, and I'll help you find whatever you're looking for!
The burly man turned and left.
When they reached the entrance of the cave, they suddenly turned around.
Where is your grandfather's notebook?
"The notebook? Minister Zhao brought a few people to my house last time and took it."
Who is it?
"I don't know. An old man, dressed in white, isn't he afraid of getting dirty in the countryside?"
They also brought several attendants, who looked almost exactly like you; they were quite intimidating...
Guan Yuxi told the story in a way that was half true and half false.
The burly man glanced at her again.
Then he left without looking back.
Guan Yuxi plopped down on the ground.
He looked around.
This is a well-constructed air-raid shelter.
She was probably at the end of the air-raid shelter.
It is roughly the size of a football field.
The surrounding area was built with many cabinets, stone tables and benches made of bluestone.
Diagonally above, there is a large stage.
She was standing right below the stage.
Guan Yuxi got up and looked around.
They were trying to find a secret passage or something.
Unfortunately, it was surrounded by thick stone walls.
No matter how hard she knocked, she couldn't tell which part was hollow and which was solid.
Those cabinets and tables and chairs had been abandoned for a long time.
It was covered with a thick layer of dust.
In some places, moss has even grown.
I rested for a while.
She got up and headed towards where the burly man had gone.
Ahead was a thick stone wall.
Guan Yuxi tried to push it, but it wouldn't budge.
"Holy crap! Are we going to be trapped here and die?"
Unconvinced, she pushed it again, and after confirming that it was indeed impossible to move, she busied herself looking for the mechanism nearby.
However, after working hard for half a day, I gained nothing.
"That's not right, torches can burn."
There's no reason why there shouldn't be a way out!
Guan Yuxi muttered to herself.
At the very least, they should have ventilation channels.
"Hey, is anyone there? Let me out!"
She shouted loudly towards the top of the stone wall.
Seeing no response, she called from another spot.
