Chapter 134 The Tunnel Under the Cellar
Murong Li and more than a hundred other people cleaned up the garbage in the ruins, clearing the garbage out first and then laying the foundation.
Su Yue would prepare food for the helpers at home every day and come to pick it up when they got off work in the evening.
It’s still early when we’re ready, so Su Yue will go to help.
"Miss Su, there is a cellar in the back. Do you want to clean it?" As soon as Su Yue arrived at the construction site, a villager ran up to her and asked her.
Su Yue looked in the direction the villagers pointed and said, "You guys clean up the other places. I'll go check there first."
That place is close to the cliff and is not within the house.
There is quite a lot of rain in Northwest County. Unless there is a severe drought, it rains every month, and the rainfall is not small. Most people's cellars are built inside the house to prevent rainwater from entering.
Not only is the cellar built outside the house, it's also under the cliff. Wouldn't the rainwater be able to flow directly into it?
Su Yue looked at it strangely and decided to go over to see if it was a cellar.
Su Yue walked to the cellar. The entrance did look like a cellar, but it had been treated. There was something like an eaves covering the entrance, but it had collapsed because no one had used it for a long time.
I think when it is intact, it can cover the entrance.
Su Yue pulled away the weeds at the entrance and walked down slowly. There were still stairs, but most of them had collapsed, so she could barely go down.
Su Yue took a flashlight from the space and shone it down. When she reached the bottom, she was stunned by the cellar. This was not a cellar at all, it was clearly a basement.
There are rocks all underneath, and it's completely a stone house. Judging from the chisel marks, it must have been difficult to carve and took quite a while.
This cellar has been unused for a long time and there is a lot of garbage in it, including broken pottery slag.
Su Yue looked around the cellar and found nothing special, so she put all the garbage into the space and cleaned it up when she came down. This place could indeed store a lot of things.
But after she cleaned the floor, she found that there was a piece of floor near the inside that was a little different from the ones next to it, and seemed to be smoother.
Su Yue walked over, squatted down, and examined it carefully with her mental power. She found that the smooth piece was round, and the chisel mark next to it was actually broken. It was difficult to find without careful observation.
The chisel marks on the ground are irregular and there is no difference at first glance.
Su Yue raised her hand and knocked on the smooth ground.
After knocking, Su Yue was delighted, because the sound sounded empty.
Su Yue directly used her mental power to wrap up the smooth ground and then put it into the space.
The ground was like a lid, about three feet in diameter. After it was collected, a hole was exposed in the ground.
Su Yue was delighted. It was so mysterious. Could there be some treasure underneath?
She quickly used her mental power to look outside, and seeing that no one was coming over here, she took the flashlight and walked downstairs.
There were still stone steps leading down, but the stone steps here were in good condition. They went down about ten feet. She looked down with her mental power as she walked and found that there was a passage at the end of the stone steps, which led directly into the mountain.
Su Yue quickened her pace, eager to see what treasures were hidden here.
Reaching the end of the stone steps, Su Yue walked along the passage. The passage was about ten feet long, and at the end was an empty stone chamber.
There was another exit in the stone chamber. Su Yue used her spiritual power to look over and saw that it was the entrance to another tunnel.
Su Yue frowned. It didn't look like a place to hide any treasure. It looked more like a tunnel.
This tunnel has no turns and is straight, leading all the way to the bottom of Yunwu Mountain.
Su Yue had a bold guess in her mind. She immediately went into the tunnel with a flashlight. The tunnel was not wide enough for two people to walk through. It was about six feet high, and tall people could not stand up straight.
But it wasn't damp in there, just a bad smell.
The tunnel was very long. When Su Yue had walked for nearly two miles, her suspicions grew stronger and stronger. Could it be that this was really a tunnel leading to the Yunwu Mountains?
If true
If that's the case, they don't have to dig a tunnel, as there's one ready-made here.
It’s just that there’s something underground here, and it seems that no one in the village knows about it. This is a good thing, because what they are going to do next has to be kept secret.
Su Yue checked the situation inside the tunnel as she walked. Tunnels like this, whose purpose was unknown, might contain mechanisms and even poisonous animals like snakes, rats, insects and ants.
What if it's not the other side of the Yunwu Mountains, but some underground palace? It's not impossible that there are traps set up to prevent people from breaking into the underground palace.
Snakes, rats, insects and ants are easy to deal with, but if you don't notice the mechanism or trap and touch it, you will get into trouble.
Sure enough, not long after walking, Su Yue saw poisonous snakes and insects in the tunnel. She easily killed them all.
Although he had been walking for a long time and had not seen any mechanisms or traps, Su Yue did not relax his vigilance and continued to grope forward cautiously.
She walked close to the stone wall, for fear that she would accidentally trigger something that would come straight at her, leaving her no chance to enter the space and escape.
After walking for about an hour, they still hadn't reached the end. Su Yue decisively turned back and waited until night to go with Murong Li. If she didn't go back for a long time, someone would definitely come looking for her.
I'm afraid someone will find this place and expose it.
It took less time to go back and we were out of the cave in less than half an hour.
Su Yue put the stone lid back into the space, and then put some garbage on it again. After she saw nothing unusual, she left the cellar.
When they went outside, it was already dark. The villagers on the construction site left one after another. Su Yue found Murong Li and they went back together.
"Yuer, where did you go just now?" Murong Li asked her on the way. He saw her come to the construction site but didn't see her anymore, and now she came out again.
It couldn't be that she entered the space. If she went into the space to do something, she might as well do it at home, which would be safer.
"Let's go back first and tell you later." Su Yue whispered.
"good."
After the two of them returned, they distributed today's food to the villagers. After the villagers took the food back, the four of them cooked dinner.
After dinner in the evening, Su Qiwen and his brother washed the dishes and cleaned up. Su Yue asked Murong Li to go for a walk with her outside to help digest the food.
She took Murong Li to the cellar.
"Yuer, why are we here so late at night?" Murong Li asked in confusion.
"You'll know if you come with me. This will definitely make you happy."
Su Yue took out a flashlight from the space and gave it to Murong Li. She also took a flashlight and led the way in front, and the two entered the cellar.
Arriving at the stone chamber, Su Yue took a look and found it was the same as when she left. She quickly collected the garbage and put the stone lid back into the space, revealing the entrance to the tunnel.
