Chapter 124 Collapse
124
The hole, narrower than the previous one, went straight into the ground and was so deep that it seemed like one would never reach the surface.
It is not called a cave, but it looks more like a well; even the water-collecting device is very similar.
There is an iron roller skate with a rope hanging from it. After the people in the mine dig up something, they have to pull hard from below to bring up baskets of ore.
Utilize to the fullest.
The hole was only hung with a rope and was only wide enough for one person to pass through. Lou Xiao was not small, so it was a bit difficult for her to pass through.
She risked her life to go deep underground, not just for Amao's sister.
She just wanted to know what the legendary priceless gem that was dug out was.
Isn't it just metal ores that can be used for refining?
Not knowing if he would get stuck halfway, Lou Xiao couldn't see the sky when he looked up, nor could he see the ground when he looked down. It was really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, no one was passing by now, and Lou Xiao spent a lot of effort to descend along this bottomless narrow road.
When we really stepped on the ground, we found a place the size of a table, with three skinny figures as thin as children huddled there.
He was holding a small hoe and digging out the soil bit by bit.
On the other side was a dark, narrow path, and no one knew where it led.
Lou Xiao, who was of normal stature, attracted a lot of attention when she came in. The three people who were crawling on the ground looked up at her, not understanding how she got in.
"Who is A Mao's sister?" Lou Xiao asked.
After hearing this, the two of them looked at a person at the same time. The person with a gray face and unclear appearance and gender answered weakly,
"It's me... What happened to A Mao? Who are you?"
Lou Xiao was about to speak when suddenly the dirt on her head fell on top of her. She looked up and her face darkened instantly. She reached out her hand to pull someone away.
"Go! It's dangerous here!!"
But who would believe someone who suddenly appears?
The two silent people retreated, and A-Mao's sister wanted to get to the bottom of it, "What happened to A-Mao? How do you know her? She's fine at home..."
Lou Xiao looked a little irritated, and her voice was inevitably louder, "She has been waiting for you for a long time and has run out of food! If you don't go back, she will starve to death at home! Hurry up and leave!"
After hearing this, the thin girl hesitated and said, "But I don't know if I can get paid if I leave now..."
Lou Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he just leaned forward and grabbed her thin arm and dragged her over.
While pushing the people towards the upward hole, he called out to the two people who were frightened like quails,
"Come here! You guys go too!"
"I do not……"
Resistance was futile. Lou Xiao grabbed one with each hand and said anxiously, "Didn't you notice it's about to collapse? Are you going to die if you don't leave?!"
After hearing this, the three of them were obviously anxious. They grabbed the rope with their hands and feet, and cried,
"No...it's too late. The three of us can't make it..."
I actually forgot about Lou Xiao's existence.
Lou Xiao felt the shaking around her become more and more obvious, so she asked the three of them to hold the rope.
He held the other end, intending to carry these three people, who were as thin as children, up by himself.
"But...you..." One of them looked at her and was talking.
Lou Xiao exerted force, and the three of them went straight up in the shaking narrow passage, without even giving them a chance to react.
In the past, they were the ones who pulled the dug ore from the bottom of the well to the top, but today, a stranger wanted to help them out of the crisis.
Halfway through, they could feel the squeeze of the passage, and the shaking began to become obvious. The three of them huddled up and dared not move.
The rope carried them upwards, upwards,
No one knows whether he can survive.
But she—
She was destined to be drowned underground.
The people at the bottom couldn't help but lower their heads and look down, but her figure was gone.
