The man looked at her with a bad look.
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows and said, "What, are you not convinced?"
Zhan Beihan was too lazy to argue with her about this kind of problem. He put the wooden door aside, then stepped into the secret passage and walked down the steps.
"Wait, I'll get something." Xiao Lingyue wanted to keep up, but suddenly she remembered something again.
She turned around and jumped off the kang, walked to the counter in a corner of the bedroom in three or two steps, and pulled open a drawer.
really.
There are several oil lamps in the drawer, all of which have been used.
Xiao Lingyue picked two more fuel, returned to the secret passage, lit the oil lamp with a fire note, and handed it to Zhan Beihan.
"The secret passage is deep/entered into the ground, and it is built privately. Who knows how the ventilation inside is? Holding this oil lamp can be used to illuminate. If the fire suddenly goes out, it means there is insufficient oxygen inside, and there may be a risk of suffocation, so you must withdraw immediately."
Zhan Beihan took the oil lamp and raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know there is an oil lamp in the cabinet?"
"I guess!"
Xiao Lingyue lit another oil lamp and held it in her hand, "This secret passage is so hidden, and it is pitch black inside. How can I illuminate it without fire?"
"Since the bandit leader lives here and often goes in and out of the secret passage, he will definitely keep the lighting nearby so that he can use it at any time."
Therefore, when Xiao Lingyue saw the cabinet in the bedroom, she speculated that there were 80% lighting items inside.
One guess is accurate.
Zhan Beihan said inexplicably: "You are smart."
With such meticulous thoughts, it makes people wonder what she did before?
"If you have something to use, use it. It's better than touching the dark, right?" Xiao Lingyue said casually.
This oil lamp is different from the candle lamps in ordinary people's homes.
Instead, it looks like a lantern, with a handle on it, which can be held in your hand.
It's much more convenient than holding a candle.
The two of them walked into the secret passage one after another, and their figures soon disappeared in the darkness.
The secret passage winds downwards, the steps are steep and fast, and you can't see your fingers. If there is no oil lamp lighting, anyone who walks in will become blind.
Xiao Lingyue held the oil lamp in one hand and the wall with the other, following Zhan Beihan down.
The narrow and long secret passage was extremely cold, and the two of them folded their footsteps, which made people feel a sense of terror for no reason.
I walked for about a minute.
The two of them clearly felt that the temperature in the secret passage was lowered again, and the faint wind became obvious.
Two dim oil lamps were blown to the point of flashing and the shadows around them were swaying.
Xiao Lingyue reached out and touched the wall, raised the oil lamp and shone it: "When I first came in, the walls on both sides of the secret passage were still made of bricks, obviously built by manpower, but when we got here, the walls turned into stones."
The light of the oil lamp shone on it, and the secret passage suddenly became much wider. There were uneven stones on both sides, like rock layers buried deep underground, with obvious traces of being dug.
"This should be a rock cave that exists in the mountains, but it was artificially widened and connected to the secret passage." Zhan Beihan reached out and touched the traces on the stone wall, and said lightly.
Xiao Lingyue said: "It may be that the bandits discovered this natural rock path first, and then dug a secret passage on it and connected it to it."
