God helps those who work hard, and Lin Yiran discovered a hole in the ground as big as a bowl.
She lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked down. The cave looked very deep and there seemed to be a lot of space at the bottom.
It didn't matter that the hole was small, she simply enlarged it with her bare hands.
By the time the Xiao family heard Lin Yiran's shouts and ran over, the hole, the size of a bowl, had been dug by Lin Yiran until it was big enough for a person to pass through.
"I'll go down and take a look first."
Xiao Yunzhan frowned, looked at it, threw down a word, and jumped directly from the cave entrance.
A few seconds later, Xiao Yunzhan's voice came from below, "Jump down one by one, I'll catch you from below."
Lin Yiran immediately asked her sisters-in-law to throw the things down, and sent people down one by one.
Finally, there were only two large pottery jars left. Lin Yiran shouted to the people below,
"Xiao Yunzhan, take the two pots. Don't come up. I'll just move a big rock to block the entrance to the cave."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Yunzhan to object, Lin Yiran threw the two pottery jars down one by one.
Xiao Yunzhan had just rushed over to support Lin Yiran when he was nearly hit to death by a falling pottery jar.
This tiger girl is testing his reaction ability.
Two clay pots were thrown down one after another. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, today would have been his death anniversary.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Lin Yiran hurriedly moved a stone slab more than one meter long and covered with moss and weeds from not far away.
This stone slab covers the entrance of the cave, and the weeds on the stone slab just overlap with the grass next to it. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice that there is a hole underneath.
Lin Yiran spread her legs, pressed her feet against the sides of the cave wall, and moved down little by little.
After she lowered her head to the bottom of the cave entrance, she reached out and pulled over a small portion of the bluestone slab that covered the entrance, covering it tightly.
Xiao Yunzhan noticed that the cave entrance suddenly became dark, so he immediately walked over and reached out to pick up Lin Yiran.
He stretched his head out for a long time but didn't see anyone falling down. He only heard the sound of friction against the cave wall. Puzzled, he walked to the bottom of the cave entrance and looked up.
Lin Yiran moved down little by little. Just at this moment, she felt that she had reached the right height. She pushed her legs against the wall and jumped directly down from the middle of the hole.
"ah!"
Lin Yiran sat down on top of Xiao Yunzhan's head. Her body swayed and she reflexively grabbed Xiao Yunzhan's hair under her butt to prevent herself from falling.
Ouch, this hit her tailbone and it hurt.
What a sin! How could this person suddenly appear?
Fortunately, she jumped down halfway. If she jumped from the top, the acceleration of gravity would have knocked her directly to the ground.
“Hmm!”
Xiao Yunzhan groaned and was hit on the head by Lin Yiran, and the hair on the back of his head was pulled by her so hard that it hurt.
He shook his body twice, and raised his hand with a confused look on his face to grab Lin Yiran who was sitting on top of him.
Before he could reach out his hand, Lin Yiran kicked her butt down hard and jumped down by herself.
"Thank you."
Lin Yiran was extremely embarrassed. She thanked him and quickly turned around and moved to the side.
It was the first time that Xiao Yunzhan was kicked on the butt, and his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Fortunately, the cave was dark enough, and no one except him and Lin Yiran knew that he had just been kicked.
When Old Madam Xiao heard Lin Yiran's cry, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you fall somewhere?"
There was still some light when they jumped down. When Lin jumped down, the entrance to the cave was covered and it was pitch black, so she might have bumped into something.
Lin Yiran rubbed her buttocks, followed the sound to Madam Xiao, and laughed dryly.
"Mom, I'm fine. Let's go. The pursuers are coming soon. Everyone, please keep quiet."
What could be wrong with her? Just a little pain in her tailbone.
I don’t know what happened to the person she hit. He didn’t say a word for a long time.
Just when Lin Yiran suspected that Xiao Yunzhan was hit silly.
Xiao Yunzhan took a deep breath, walked past her calmly, and greeted everyone softly.
"Follow one by one, be careful."
Xiao Yunzhan picked up a ceramic jar on the ground, holding a sword in his hand, and carefully led the way.
Everyone took their things and followed closely behind.
Lin Yiran followed Madam Xiao, holding a large clay pot.
The underground tunnel did not look like it was formed naturally. Lin Yiran walked and looked at the various traces of man-made marks on both sides of the tunnel.
Who would build such a secret passage in this deep mountain? Could it be that they hid some treasure?
But the hole is so small, it is definitely not the exit.
Xiao Yunzhan's eyesight is not much worse than Lin Yiran's.
He also discovered what Lin Yiran discovered.
The cave goes down further and further, and it is always a slope.
The further Xiao Yunzhan walked, the tighter his brows furrowed. If he remembered correctly, the royal cemetery was near these two mountains.
There are seven mountains beyond the east gate of the city, and the royal cemetery is between the second and third mountains.
They just climbed to the bottom of the second mountain, and here...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunzhan gripped the sword tighter and walked more cautiously.
I hope this passage does not lead to the royal cemetery, otherwise they will be finished if they encounter the royal gravekeepers.
At this moment, Xiao Yunzhan suddenly heard footsteps coming from above.
Everyone could hear the heavy footsteps clearly. They stopped and stood still, holding their breath.
Soon, the footsteps faded away and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing the footsteps fade away, Xiao Yunzhan squatted down, took out two pieces of wood hidden in his arms, and rubbed them a few times.
The flame on the wooden stick flickered a few times and soon went out.
Xiao Yunzhan frowned tightly and continued to rub the wooden stick. He had to light a fire before he could continue to move forward.
