Chapter 145: Drilling Dog Holes, I’m a Professional

Li Boyuan was so frightened that he shivered and kept backing away: “I don’t want to go to make pills!”

Scarface looked at Li Boyuan and said: “This guy is fat and plain-looking, so he can only go to the pill room.”

Li Boyuan cried loudly: “I don’t want to be burned to charcoal, Grandpa, save me!”

Scarface grabbed his collar and said ferociously: “It’s useless to call me Grandpa or ancestors. If you don’t shut up, I’ll slap you to death!”

Li Boyuan didn’t dare to cry anymore and let his tears fall.

Scarface then let him go and looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "This little girl is pretty, and she is good at dancing and practicing martial arts, but she is too young."

Seeing Scarface hesitate, Xiaoyun also became nervous. As long as she doesn't go to the alchemy room, at least she can save her life.

Who would have thought that Su Xiaoxiao would say bluntly: "Send me to the alchemy room, I am too young, and I need to be raised for several years before I can learn the art!"

Xiaoyun almost vomited blood. This child is really hard to lead. How can she be so angry that she dies.

Scarface smiled rarely: "You are a very smart kid. In that case, you should go to the alchemy room!"

Scarface pushed Su Xiaoxiao towards Li Boyuan, picked up a wooden sign and threw it to Xiaoyun, saying: "Finally you have figured it out. If you don't want to die and have no other options, you should work hard. Maybe you can get a job as a manager."

Xiaoyun picked up the sign on the ground, looked at Su Xiaoxiao, and turned away.

Su Xiaoxiao, Li Boyuan and some other children were led by a lame woman through the hanging flower gate, through the winding corridors, and arrived at an entrance.

The entrance was connected to the underground, and the children were driven into the entrance.

There was still a passage that seemed endless inside, with torches burning on both sides of the road, and the road ahead could be barely seen.

They had been walking for a long time, and the damp passage became stuffy and hot. The heat wave was overwhelming, making it difficult to breathe.

Li Boyuan pulled Su Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, we are about to be burned, aren't you afraid?"

Su Xiaoxiao blinked at him and said, "Don't be afraid, the stove is going to break!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud noise, followed by the sound of a building collapsing, and then thick black smoke sprayed out.

Everyone stopped in fear and dared not move forward.

The lame woman asked the man next to her, "The situation ahead is unclear, should we go on?"

Before the man could reply, part of the passage ahead collapsed again, and the stones rolled down in front of them.

The man shouted, "Back off, back off!"

Before they could run out of the tunnel, the smoked-out people ran out.

The lame woman grabbed him and asked, "What happened?"

The man said breathlessly, "The alchemy furnace exploded. Go and call for help. The master is still inside."

The people who were looking after the children were busy looking for help. Su Xiaoxiao shouted, "The alchemy furnace exploded. We won't be needed for a while. Let's get out!"

The children didn't want to be thrown into the alchemy furnace. After hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, they turned around and ran towards the exit.

Su Xiaoxiao walked slowly with the small milk bottle in her arms. It seemed that these people would not take the initiative to add milk to her. She had to find someone to ask for some.

Li Boyuan stared at Su Xiaoxiao in astonishment: "Xiaoxiao, you are amazing, how did you know the alchemy furnace was going to explode?"

Su Xiaoxiao answered honestly: "Because I made it explode!"

Li Boyuan laughed: "Xiaoxiao, you are so funny!" With Su Xiaoxiao's condition, he could hardly walk, and he could still blow up the alchemy furnace. He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to get milk to drink, and he didn't have time to care whether Li Boyuan believed it or not.

Because the alchemy furnace exploded, all the children assigned to the alchemy room were brought back, and some who were sent down a few days ago and didn't have time to use it were also brought out because the alchemy room collapsed.

When the alchemy master they were talking about was found, he was already dead. His body was full of holes from the alchemy furnace, and there was not a single piece of good flesh.

The people in the yard suddenly became busy. Everyone looked solemn and no one dared to speak nonsense.

Xiaoyun was assigned to look after the children in the alchemy room. When Su Xiaoxiao saw an acquaintance, she said warmly: "Sister Xiaoyun, what happened to them?"

Xiaoyun simply said: "The alchemy furnace collapsed, the master died suddenly, and someone from above is coming!"

Su Xiaoxiao was a little looking forward to it. She met some small minions here. If a big shot came, her milk would be settled.

They were not used as materials for alchemy for the time being, so they were taken to a small yard. In addition to Xiaoyun, there were two old women in the yard.

Normally, the courtyard door was closed. The two old women gave each child a steamed bun and started to scold.

One old woman said, "Why did the alchemy furnace break down? I don't know how many days I have to take care of these children. It's so troublesome."

The other one said, "Anyway, they can't run away after the door is closed. Just watch that ugly girl."

The two of them said a few words to Xiaoyun and went back to the house to take a nap.

Li Boyuan had already recognized the reality and started to eat the steamed bun. Su Xiaoxiao gave the steamed bun to a child who was eating it voraciously next to him.

Li Boyuan asked curiously, "Xiaoxiao, aren't you hungry?"

Su Xiaoxiao said mysteriously, "What delicious food is there in this nest? Come on, I'll take you to find something delicious."

While everyone was eating, the two quietly walked to the grass next to them.

They walked through the grass and came to the edge of the wall. Su Xiaoxiao pointed to a dense clump of wormwood and said, "Pull these grasses apart."

Li Boyuan didn't care about anything and just stuck his butt out to fiddle with the wormwood.

Xiaoxiao knew that the alchemy furnace would explode, so he should also know where the delicious food was. He was almost starving.

Li Boyuan pulled the wormwood to both sides and found a small hole hidden in the grass.

Su Xiaoxiao said proudly, "Let's go out from here."

Li Boyuan was now completely impressed by Su Xiaoxiao. He said in surprise, "How did you know there was a dog hole here?"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed. When it came to digging through dog holes, she was a professional. All her interesting stories started from dog holes.

Xiaoxiao got out skillfully and kindly shouted inside: "Brother Boyuan, come out, there's no one outside."

Li Boyuan also followed Su Xiaoxiao out. There was indeed no one outside. It was the junction of two courtyards, with only a narrow corridor.

Li Boyuan didn't know what to say. After struggling for a long time, he trapped himself perfectly.

Li Boyuan said disappointedly: "Xiaoxiao, it doesn't look like there is anything delicious here!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously and said: "Don't worry, follow me!"

Su Xiaoxiao ran forward with her short legs, and the sky-high braid on her head swayed, just like a ginseng doll.

Soon, she stopped at the corner of the wall, waved to Boyuan and said, "Brother Boyuan, come here quickly, there is also a dog hole here."
