Chapter 333 "Maybe we are in sync!"
The entire cellar was pitch black, with dust floating in the air. The only thing that could be seen was a ladder welded inside the entrance, extending all the way to the depths.
I don’t know how long the cellar has not been used. People definitely cannot go down there, so it needs to be ventilated more.
But since I can't get in, I can still take a look at it.
Shi Jiaojiao picked up the flashlight placed aside and shone it into the cellar.
The entire cellar is cylindrical in shape and the space is not large, but when the light reaches the bottom, it can be found through the refraction of light that the space below has expanded a lot.
Simply put, it is two cylinders, one large and one small, stacked together.
The cellar was not filled with food as imagined. It was empty and you could hear an echo when you spoke in it.
But when the light shone in a certain direction, Shi Jiaojiao frowned and said, "Why do I feel like there is a passage inside?"
Mu Ci looked in the direction of the light, but because the entrance to the cave was too small, his vision was limited.
If you want to know, you can only go down and see it for yourself.
Shi Jiaojiao thought about it and simply took out two masks. Even if there was no oxygen in them, with these, there would be no danger of suffocation.
Mu Ci said, "Take out the safety rope as well."
I don’t know if the ladder inside is rusty or not. What if it breaks halfway through?
They couldn't afford to get themselves hurt again because of a cellar that they didn't even know if it could still be used.
After Shi Jiaojiao tied the safety rope around her waist, she simply took out the super-high wooden box she had made in the basement. This was not for any other reason, but simply because it was heavy enough and it was safe enough to tie the other end of the safety rope to it.
The flashlight is also put away into the space and replaced by a headlamp that frees your hands.
Mu Ci went down first, followed closely by Shi Jiaojiao.
The ladder was indeed covered in rust, and some of the crossbars even broke when one stepped on them.
But the whole ladder was quite sturdy and I came down safely without any danger.
Shi Jiaojiao finally saw the entire cellar.
No, it's half appearance.
The base of the cellar was indeed cylindrical, about twenty square meters in size, but what Shi Jiaojiao had just noticed was that there was indeed a passage that led to an unknown destination.
The passage is built of bricks and stones and is arched on top. The space is not spacious and can only accommodate one person.
Shi Jiaojiao looked inside along the line of sight of the headlamp and saw that the passage ended about five or six meters deep. She walked in curiously, but unexpectedly there was another passage on the right side at the deepest part.
This passage is slightly longer, but you still need to turn to reach the end.
Shi Jiaojiao thought about it and decided to retreat from the passage.
She came out this time to find a way out, and she was not interested in where this passage led to.
After coming out, she first carefully checked the entire cellar.
It was obvious that this cellar was much more solid than the previous basement.
If they can't stay in the ancient tomb, they can move here.
In fact, logically speaking, the ancient tomb has withstood the test of time and must be much stronger than this kind of cellar.
But who can predict what will happen in the future?
Besides, even if this retreat is not used during a sandstorm, it can be used to deal with other problems in the future.
After the inspection, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci turned around and left.
They did not forget that the sandstorm outside was not over yet.
Back on the ground, the two men put the iron plate back on and drove away.
When they returned to the cave, two hours had passed since they came out.
Shi Jiaojiao was collecting and placing the stones. This kind of thing was something she got used to the second time. Not only was she using it faster now, but the stones were also stacked much more densely than the first time.
When the last layer of stones was taken away, he looked up and saw Wang Jia and Tang Wei waiting in the corridor.
Both of them had worried expressions on their faces, but when they saw the person coming, they immediately smiled.
Wang Jia looked at the two carefully and found that except for the dirty clothes, there were no wounds. He asked, "Did you have a smooth journey?"
Shi Jiaojiao blocked the cave again: "It went smoothly. The food has been collected and a new cellar has been found. But how did you know we were coming back now?"
Wang Jia smiled and joked: "Maybe it's because we are in sync?"
In fact, the truth was that after Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci left, she and Tang Wei had been worried, so they discussed it and decided to just guard the entrance of the cave so that they could hear any movement outside at the first time.
Now that the person was back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered what Shi Jiaojiao had just said and asked, "What cellar are you talking about?"
Shi Jiaojiao explained: "It's a cellar under the granary. It's not very large, but it's quite sturdy. I thought if there's any accident in the ancient tomb, we can move there."
Wang Jia nodded. Shi Jiaojiao always prepared for a rainy day, and she knew this best.
Tang Wei was concerned about the situation outside. They had only stayed there for a while in the morning, so what about now? Was it still peaceful outside?
Shi Jiaojiao told them exactly what she had seen: the tranquility outside and the village buried under the yellow sand.
After returning to the tomb, she simply took out a table of food and talked with everyone while eating.
The fact that the food had been taken away could not be told to Lu Yan and his sister. Of course, they did not plan to hide the food and planned to donate it together with the food they had found before.
But then again, Lu Yan and his sister could be said to be the last two survivors of the entire Dawang Village. Among these grains, there might be Lu Yan's family's share, and they couldn't take it all away with peace of mind.
Not to mention that they were able to find this warehouse only because of Lu Yan’s reminder.
No matter what, everyone should have a share of this food.
So now comes the question.
The brother and sister are too young, and they will definitely follow them to the shelter base after the sandstorm ends.
Even if they gave the brother and sister a batch of food, not to mention how they would bring it to the base, even preserving it would be a big problem. The most important point is that it would be too easy to attract covetousness.
Mu Ci put down his chopsticks and said, "The food should be donated as planned. Add the names of the brother and sister. Donating food will definitely reward points. If they need anything in the future, they can use the points to buy it themselves."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, this was indeed the best way.
It won't expose the space and can ensure that the brother and sister can survive when they arrive at the base.
As for whether the future life of the brother and sister will be good or bad, that has nothing to do with them.
They had done their best with both of them.
However, considering that the brother and sister donated food, the base will surely take good care of them.
The following days passed quickly. Apart from going outside the cave every day to check on what was going on and to check on Lu Yan's injuries, Shi Jiaojiao could only do nothing in the tomb.
The retreat plan she had prepared earlier was of no use. The ancient tomb remained as still as a mountain despite the massive sandstorm.
Of course, the four of them did not waste time waiting for the sandstorm to end.
