Maung-mei is wrong

After a short rest, the two of them regained their energy and were ready to continue looking for a way out.

Nie Yunhan stood up, took Zhuo Yingxian's hand naturally, coughed dryly and said, "It's too dark here, it's a labyrinth again, don't get lost."

Zhuo Yingxian secretly smiled, there were no more than two of them left and right, and where else could they go, it was just an excuse to hold hands openly.

But he was also sweet in his heart, so he interlocked with each other's fingers cooperatively.

Facing the pile of earthen walls in front of him, Zhuo Yingxian asked, "Which direction should we go first?"

Nie Yunhan thought: "When you fell, you passed a shaft first, and I fell directly from the slope, and in Hirano's bedroom, we were squatting on the adjacent floor bricks—this is why It means that there is a large piece of adobe in the middle."

"It does exist, but the thickness cannot be seen." Zhuo Yingxian looked at him curiously, "Do you think there are other articles in that adobe?"

"Think about the position of the adobe, isn't it just connected to the bottom of Hirano's bed?"

A single word awakened the dreamer, Zhuo Yingxian immediately became energetic and gave him a hand: "Go, I'll take you there!"

The two quickly returned to the place where Zhuo Yingxian fell, and climbed to the top of the slope.

Nie Yunhan looked up at the ten-foot-high shaft, and then knocked on the adobe at the connection between the shaft and the slope, thoughtfully.

"The position should be right. You are falling vertically. The area directly in front of Hirano's bed should be the area directly facing the bottom of Hirano's bed." He squatted on the slope, quickly cut a small hole in the adobe wall with a dagger, and pulled out Take out a "sheep dung egg" and put it in the hole.

At this moment, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't look directly at the small bullet, so he looked away and said, "Is it really going to blow up here? What if it collapses?"

"No, you hide under the slope, I'll tell you to come up again." Nie Yunhan said.

"how about you?"

Nie Yunhan pointed his finger: "I'll go into the shaft after the fire is lit."

So Zhuo Yingxian followed his arrangement and went down to the bottom of the slope. Nie Yunhan took out the candle end from the cloth pocket at his waist, blew it on, lit the fuse on the "sheep dung", and then shrugged Jump up the shaft, spread your hands and feet, and quickly climb up with support.

He hadn't run far when he heard a muffled "boom" from below, and the rolling loess exploded and poured into the shaft.

Nie Yunhan squinted his eyes and ran straight to the top, and stretched out his hand to push the floor that caused them to fall. Sure enough, he couldn't push it, so he didn't spend any more effort. When the loess fell, he also jumped along the shaft He went back, covered his face with his elbows, and touched the gap that was blown open.

The blast just now only blasted a deep hole about two feet wide on the adobe, but it didn't blow through as they imagined, exposing the passage leading to the cellar inside.

However, Nie Yunhan was not willing to stop at nothing, and was afraid that another explosion would cause a collapse, so he took off the saber at his waist and dug in with the scabbard.

Zhuo Yingxian's voice came from below the slope: "Brother Han? How's the situation?"

"Come up!"

Zhuo Yingxian quickly climbed up, and seeing Nie Yunhan struggling to dig a hole, he also took off the scabbard and dug together.

The two were ashamed, digging a hole for a long time like miners, and dug the deep hole about five feet deep, but failed to dig through the adobe, so they couldn't help being a little discouraged.

"Stop, stop digging, take a break." Nie Yunhan stopped Zhuo Yingxian, the two of them couldn't stand upright at the top of the slope, they were both squatting on the ground to dig, now their backs hurt and their buttocks sat on the ground. pant.

Zhuo Yingxian looked up at the adobe: "Brother Han...would it be useless for us to dig horizontally? What if the cellar is not as deep as this? When I fell down before, I roughly estimated that from the upper floor to the lower side of the slope, The drop is about two to three feet, if Hirano had dug out two floors below, the road we dug would be exactly where the floor of the upper floor was, and if we drilled the hole horizontally, we would definitely not be able to penetrate it.”

Nie Yunhan thought for a while, then grinned: "I'm Xian, I'm smart, you rest, I'll try digging up."

Zhuo Yingxian's physical strength was not as good as Nie Yunhan's. First, he was strangled by the net rope, and he was still tossing around in the maze for a long time. He just dug a hole, but now he was too tired to move, so he didn't insist. He sat on the side and rested, watching Nie Yun Han dug up with the scabbard.

The scabbard is not as easy to use as a shovel, and digging up the soil is really laborious, Zhuo Yingxian asked curiously: "You guys usually have to dig holes when you perform tasks, don't you have a shovel that is easy to carry?"

"Don't tell me, there is." Nie Yunhan was so hot that he took off his robe, and his upper body was shirtless, "There is a short shovel with a handle divided into several parts, which can be unscrewed and lengthened to the desired length, but who knows I have to dig the soil when I come out this time, so I didn’t bring it with me.”

Zhuo Yingxian leaned against the wall and laughed softly: "With so many things, isn't the backpack heavy?"

"That's right. Although the 'wing' is made of pearl iron, it's not light, and with the addition of miscellaneous other things, it still weighs thirty to forty catties."

Following Nie Yunhan's digging movements, the muscles on his back stretched and contracted, showing the beautiful and attractive lines in front of Zhuo Yingxian's eyes.

At this moment, he was holding a fire folder in his hand to illuminate Nie Yunhan. The light shone on that healthy and beautiful back, making the sweat shine brightly. This muscle seemed to be coated with a layer of grease, firm and shiny, which made him feel involuntarily. Thinking of the book of secret operas I saw in the bookstore in the evening, the little man in the upper position drawn by the painter has such a broad and strong back.

Zhuo Yingxian stared at that layer of texture, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he reached out his hand to touch it, and imagined the appearance of Nie Yunhan's back when the two were intimate.

Will it be like in that painting, like now, the muscles are stretched, the butterfly bones are about to fly, and the sweat flows down the ravine in the middle of the spine?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling dry mouth.

Nie Yunhan shuddered all over, but he didn't look back, and continued to dig the soil: "Don't touch it, it's all sweaty, and there's a lot of dirt on it, don't get your hands dirty."

"It's not that I didn't dig just now, my hands were already dirty." Zhuo Yingxian stared blankly at his back, and said quietly, "I just realized that sometimes mud and sweat are more refreshing than clean... charm."

Nie Yunhan didn't know what he was thinking, he simply thought that the other party was praising him, and he was very proud of hearing this.

He has always been very confident in his figure, he turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Zhuo Yingxian: "Brother, I am such a beautiful man with a dignified appearance and a graceful appearance, and I also match your handsome and elegant appearance?"

Zhuo Yingxian put his elbows on his knees, rested his chin, and repeated with the tip of his tongue: "Brother? Brother..."

"Axian." Nie Yunhan stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at him with the scabbard on his face, with a serious expression, "Screw a few more times, do you believe I can dig through the three-foot-deep adobe for you?"

"Really? Then I called? Brother..."

Nie Yunhan grabbed Zhuo Yingxian's hair and stuffed it into his mouth, saying meaningfully: "Don't yell, save it for the critical moment."

Zhuo Ying watched him being so teased by himself, bit his hair and giggled, and then quickly spat it out: "Bah, bah, it's full of dirt."

After digging for a long time, but still didn't see a crack, Nie Yunhan's patience ran out: "What a piece of crap!"

Angrily, he stabbed the scabbard in his hand upwards, causing the hole to "rustle" to the ground, and then sat back beside Zhuo Yingxian in frustration, leaning on the other's shoulder, and acted like a baby on purpose: "I'm so tired, don't you?" If you dig it, let us both be trapped here to death! If I can die with you, I have nothing else to ask for!"

Zhuo Yingxian raised his arm and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Take a break, don't worry."

In fact, now that things have happened, it is not difficult for them to escape, all they need to do is blow up the thin floor on top with the little mine.

But the purpose of the two people's trip is not to escape, but to find the people hiding in the forest garden, understand the current situation of Guan Pingye, and try to find clues from them. This requires patience to overcome difficulties one by one, and gradually approach the hiding place of those people. land.

It's not a bad idea to find the cellar from the courtyard, but there are many traps in the courtyard, and I don't know what kind of renovation has been done on the outside of the cellar. It's better to keep it as it is, and go in from the inside, but it's more direct.

Although there is no evidence, both Zhuo Yingxian and Nie Yunhan feel that they are only a hair away from success.

"It just so happens that I've almost had a rest, so I'll try it instead." Zhuo Yingxian's scabbard was too narrow, so he took Nie Yunhan's knife, squatted down to the edge of the hole dug with a bend, and continued digging up.

Unexpectedly, he had chiseled twice before he heard a "rumbling" sound, and Nie Yunhan next to him suddenly yelled: "Be careful!"

Before Zhuo Yingxian could react, Nie Yunhan pulled him aside.Nie Yunhan held him in his arms, pressed him tightly against the wall, and used his back to face the sand falling from the hole one after another.

After everything calmed down, Nie Yunhan turned his head and saw that the sand had been piled up into a small bag, at least five or six buckets, and it seemed that he had just touched a critical position.

He crawled over, carefully put his head into the hole, looked up, and immediately burst out laughing, "Ah Xian, you've done a great job again!"

Zhuo Yingxian went to look around, and found a gap about three feet high in the hole above, showing a gap two fingers wide. Passage to the cellar.

He was a little embarrassed: "You dug the front, how can it be my credit."

Nie Yunhan hugged his face and kissed him fiercely: "Then you are also my little lucky star, with you here, we won't take detours!"

The two struck while the iron was hot, and dug upwards along the gap. First, they dug a hole big enough for Nie Yunhan to look over. There are steps, and there is a passage ahead!"

With victory in sight, they quickly dug a hole about two feet long and one foot wide, successfully drilled into it, and looked around carefully as they walked holding the torch.

Zhuo Yingxian made a good estimate, Guan Pingye did divide the underground into two layers, the first layer is the space they are currently in, and the next layer is the maze that trapped them just now.

The ceiling in the maze is higher and lower, but the ceiling here is much higher, at least it doesn't make people feel stuffy.

Nie Yunhan sighed: "The renovation of Hirano is really good. This is much better than the previous cellar. Not only is it more spacious, it seems to be quite airy."

Zhuo Yingxian also clearly noticed that compared to the stuffy place where they were just now, this place is indeed much more enjoyable now.

Nie Yunhan also pulled up the upper body of the outer robe tied around his waist and put it on, but Zhuo Yingxian looked at his back and couldn't help being amused.

"What's wrong?" Nie Yunhan was puzzled.

"When I passed by the loquat tree before, I wanted to tell you that the loquat juice burned two holes in your clothes, didn't you feel it yourself?" Zhuo Yingxian stretched out his hand, through the holes in Nie Yunhan's clothes, poked him on the back.

The two holes are the size of an egg, and they are symmetrical on both sides of Nie Yunhan's waist.

Fortunately, this person was shirtless just now, Zhuo Yingxian could see clearly that his back was not injured.

Nie Yunhan took a look at his clothes and said with a smile: "Before I was just in a hurry to save you, but I didn't pay attention. When I got to the maze, I was stuffy and didn't feel it. Now I feel the air. Maybe it's not right."

The two of them walked forward along the alleyway, and after turning a few turns, they realized that they didn't even need a torch. There were candlesticks hanging on the wall, illuminating the road ahead.

This place is not as simple as the adobe wall when we came here, but built with bricks and stones and reinforced. Since there are traces of artificial transformation, there may be institutions.

So Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian immediately raised their vigilance, held the weapons in their hands, and looked at the place carefully.

The expected mechanism really appeared. With the sound of "Kaka", the bricks and stones on both sides of the passage suddenly moved, and some of them retreated into the wall, revealing a long gap, and then something came out of the gap. Stretched out!

And there was more than one place. In the blink of an eye, various weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds protruded from the walls on both sides, and even maces, thrusting and stabbing outside, at very tricky angles.

The two were attacked from both sides, so they stood in a straight line. Zhuo Ying relaxed his waist and easily dodged the knife that was swung at him. Nie Yunhan did not have his flexibility. Seeing that the mace was about to poke him, he immediately stopped He took off from the ground, lightly stepped on the tip of the gun next to him, and jumped to the front after somersaulting.

Naturally, Zhuo Yingxian didn't like to fight, relying on his thin body, he quickly passed through the attack from the two sides and ran to Nie Yunhan's side.

The two of them were already standing at the top of the alleyway, and there was a turn on the left.They didn't leave in a hurry, but looked back, and saw that the weapons protruding from the two walls were still very active, actively swinging each other in the air.

Zhuo Yingxian: "...What kind of heartless mechanism is this?"

"Behind the wall should be controlled by a mechanical arm, so naturally it won't be very flexible." Nie Yunhan said helplessly, "But we can't underestimate them, that is, we are highly vigilant and know Hirano well. You are not allowed to be poked a few blood holes."

"The deterrent power of these things is enough, but the lethality is really not great. Compared with the institutions outside that kill people without mercy, they don't seem to kill people, but..."

When Zhuo Yingxian said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his voice stopped abruptly. Nie Yunhan immediately realized the problem, and the two quickly turned around, wanting to run to the passage at the corner, but it was too late——

The two of them felt their feet sway, and they were staggered, and then an iron cage about a meter square suddenly emerged from the ground, trapping them in it, and then an iron mesh cover fell down on the roadway, which was solid It was firmly covered on the top of the cage, and with the sound of "click" and "click", the cover was already fastened.

The change happened only in an instant, Nie Yunhan instinctively grabbed Zhuo Yingxian's wrist, and the two looked at each other, powerless to resist, and what they didn't expect was that the iron cage suddenly sank, falling straight down for about It was more than one foot long and was suspended in the air!

Looking up is the lower edge of the alleyway floor they walked through just now, looking down...it's not a piece of darkness, part of the bricks and stones that were lifted off when the cage was raised fell from the hole in the cage and fell into the spot that was raised directly under the iron cage. Among a bunch of bonfires.

Nie Yunhan looked up and saw that the cage was suspended by an iron chain. Whenever a person moved inside, the entire iron cage would start to shake. He will inevitably follow the iron cage and fall into the bonfire.

One can imagine what will happen.

"Ah Xian, let's sit down and be more stable." Nie Yunhan grabbed Zhuo Yingxian, and the two of them bowed slowly and sat cross-legged in the cage.

The place was brightly illuminated by the bonfire at the bottom, Zhuo Ying looked around, and saw that the space here was similar to the adobe wall in the labyrinth just now, but it was hewn hastily and did not make much modification, only one side wall had a block in the center The seven or eight-foot-high wooden boards are exactly the same height as them at this moment.

"It seems that both of us guessed right. The purpose of the appearance of the pile of weapons just now is to drive people into the range covered by this cage." Zhuo Yingxian smiled wryly, "It's a pity that we were one step too late."

"Whoever escapes a pass can't take a breath? He is also taking advantage of human nature." Nie Yunhan's expression was calm, he didn't look around, as if he was thinking about something, his expression was very serious.

Zhuo Yingxian twisted his body, which immediately caused a slight tremor in the iron cage. Although he wasn't very scared, he still felt that it was better not to move.

Nie Yunhan squeezed his hand: "Where is it uncomfortable? Did you get hurt just now?"

"It's not hurt." Zhuo Yingxian looked at the bonfire below, "This fire is only a few feet away from us, it's a bit of a burnt ass."

Hearing what he said, Nie Yunhan's previously tense expression slightly relaxed, and he pursed his lips and smiled.

Zhuo Ying looked at him idlely: "As soon as we thought about going under the Hirano bed to find the cellar entrance, the floor would loosen, and as soon as we entered the alleyway, the weapons on the wall would pop out and drive us into this iron cage—Brother Han , No agency is so smart, it seems that our every move is indeed under the surveillance of the other party."

Nie Yunhan's face became gloomy again: "Well, yes, we have reached this stage, we don't need to worry, that person will definitely show up."

He lowered his eyes and looked full of thoughts. He simply said this sentence, and then fell into thinking again.

Zhuo Yingxian didn't want to ask further questions, and always felt that if the other party wanted to talk, he would definitely tell him.

But he waited for a while, but still did not see Nie Yunhan opening his mouth, so he said again: "If those old slaves and nuns in Linyuan don't know you, there's no reason why they don't recognize you, so the one who is targeting us now is the bookboy from Pingye?"

Nie Yunhan's face was very ugly, he sighed lightly, and said, "Now I feel more and more that Hirano doesn't believe me."

“How come you see?”

"In this world, I am the only one who knows that Lin Yuan has installed an iron shield and understands the situation of the iron shield. If Haqin sent someone, they would not know so clearly, and they probably would not think of looking for the entrance to the cellar under the bed— — After all, the place is cleaned very cleanly, and you can see that no one can hide when you bend down, who would be so stupid to drill down?" The more Nie Yunhan thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't breathe like a big stone was pressed on his heart.

Zhuo Yingxian hugged his legs, leaned on his knees, and looked at him: "That's not necessarily the case. What if the people under Haqin's subordinates came to check in advance? With their meticulous work skills, they may not find this place. There is a problem. You also said that Hirano is highly vigilant, so he will naturally be considerate."

"If there are reasons to explain the above, the mechanism now can prove my guess even more." Nie Yunhan stared blankly at the void in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The iron shield set up by Hirano is clearly as solid as gold. It is impossible for others to come to our step. Even if they escaped the various traps in the courtyard and fell into the maze like us because they discovered the secret under Hirano's bed, their exploration will end there , because the maze is a cage, and no one can get out without blasting the adobe wall or the floor.”

"So in the alleyway we were in just now, there is actually no need to add any traps and traps. Since there are these things, it means that Hirano is wary of people who can get out of the maze. Such people must not only understand the iron shield, but also Carrying tools capable of blasting, who else but me? In other words, the only person Hirano knows who can do this is me.”

He said painfully, "Hirano is just doubting me."

Zhuo Yingxian grabbed his wrist and shook it lightly: "Don't be sad, it's all a misunderstanding. When we find him, we will be able to explain it clearly."

"I'm not sorry for myself." Nie Yunhan felt his eyes sore, "Pirano lost all his relatives, hiding here alone, even me, the only brother he can rely on, has become blurred and untrustworthy to him... ...How has he lived the past two years? It seems that he was abandoned by the whole world, betrayed by his only brother - how uncomfortable he is..."

"After my father sold me, I also felt this way." Zhuo Yingxian took Nie Yunhan's hand, played with his fingers, and said softly, "But it's not important. The feeling is illusory, life It's true, when you two reunite and tell everything, the joy will outweigh all the grievances he imagined. Think about it, 'false alarm' is such a reassuring word."

Hearing him talk about the past, Nie Yunhan felt a sudden pain in his heart: "Ah Xian, you..."

"Don't feel sorry for me, I think I'm doing well now." Zhuo Yingxian stared down at his broad palm, then suddenly lowered his head and bit his tiger's mouth.

Nie Yunhan frowned, let him bite, but still couldn't help saying: "My hands are dirty..."

"No matter how much Guan Pingye felt that he was abandoned by the whole world, it was not your fault. Could it be that you were pampered elsewhere in those two years? Isn't it important that you were misunderstood? Since he is your righteous brother, he should know You have a temper, why don't you trust you?" Zhuo Yingxian was quite annoyed, "How do you know that you love others and don't care about yourself?"

"It's enough for me to feel sorry for you." Nie Yunhan saw that he was angry because he complained about himself, so he quickly coaxed him and kissed him on the back of his hand, "Not angry, not angry..."

Zhuo Yingxian snorted, and threw his hand away: "You don't feel sorry for yourself, why should I feel sorry for you? What do you think I am, a picker?"

Nie Yunhan choked up, and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand. Only those who love themselves will be loved by others. They must change in the future. Don't be so angry."

"You will play tricks on your lips." Zhuo Yingxian glanced at him angrily, "You must love yourself first, then you must love me, and then you must love others, do you understand?"

Nie Yunhan knew that the "love" he mentioned was caring, not personal love, but he still felt warm in his heart when he heard these words, and hurriedly agreed: "Follow orders!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden boards on one side of the earth wall suddenly turned away slowly, and the two immediately followed the sound.

I saw a huge black shadow appearing at the entrance of the passage, it looked like a human figure in armor, almost as tall as the passage, and his figure was very burly.

The firelight gradually reflected the appearance of the "person", it was a black armor with a glaring mask under the helmet, those eyes stared straight at Nie Yunhan and the two.

Then there was a majestic voice: "The two in the cage, quickly report their names!"
