Mrs. Yu's love for her grandchildren was touching. Song Xixi thought about it over and over again and finally decided to go to the cave to have a look.
001 disagrees: [Host, it’s too risky!]
Looking at it horizontally and vertically, the host is not a person who becomes soft-hearted whenever someone cries or begs for help~
"Whether it's a risk or not, you have to go down and take a look to find out."
While Song Xixi's mental power was rummaging through the system warehouse, she responded to Tongzi: "This cave involves several lives. If I can't kill it, the Yu family will definitely not give up, and there may be many more lives to fill...
"
001 listened and thought it made sense: [Yes, Mrs. Yu believes that only you can do it. If you can't do it, others will definitely not be able to do it, so she will naturally give up.]
Song Xixi praised: "Tongzi is so smart! But I am not at a loss. As long as I take the dog down there, I can get at least three thousand taels of silver. This is the same as picking up money."
001:【……】
After working on it for a long time, you are still reluctant to part with the money!
It was confused. When it was first bound, the host didn't value money so much.
When she single-handedly rescued Zhao Minglang from a herd of wild boars, Zhao Minglang offered her a large sum of money to thank her but ignored her.
Nowadays, the Song family is not short of money, and she has put a hundred thousand taels of silver notes in the closet. Why do they risk unknown risks and go to the cave to find someone for a mere few thousand taels of silver?
Before 001 could ask, Song Xixi sighed: "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when I'm not a home owner. Three thousand taels of silver is enough for me to buy a nice little house in Fucheng. I won't have to stay in an inn when I come to the city!"
001:【...After all, you still can't bear to part with Xie Yi from the Yu family.】
Song Xixi did not deny it. After sorting out the items that might come in handy, she personally went to Du Wei to ask for a few reliable people and wanted them to be at the entrance of the cave.
There might be something ulterior motives behind Young Master Yu falling into the cave. She couldn't trust anyone in the Yu family, so how could she entrust her safety to them.
Du Wei didn't expect that she would agree, so he couldn't help but frowned: "It's too dangerous. How can you, a child, go down there and take risks? If something happens to you down there, how do you want me to explain it to your family?"
Song Xixi patted the head of the two-hundred-and-five-year-old dog: "I know in my heart that I will climb up safely and not give the family a chance to cause trouble for the adults."
Du Wei didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, but he knew that the little girl had a good idea and would not change her decision easily, so he could only send five trusted guards to listen to Song Xixi's orders.
Song Xixi solemnly thanked Du Wei, led them to meet Mrs. Yu, and then rushed to the entrance of the cave together.
This time, she brought only two hundred and fifty, and the poles and benches were all left at the Yamen.
At the entrance of the cave, Song Xixi tied the dog to his back, then took the rope and tied it around his waist with his own hands, handed the other end to Du Wei's guards, and then carefully descended into the cave with their kind reminders.
The entrance to the cave was narrow and deep. Song Xixi slowly descended by the pull of the rope. Gradually the light became darker and darker, and finally she couldn't see her fingers. The only sounds around her were her breathing and the hum of two hundred and fifty.
After about two moments, Song Xixi's feet finally landed.
She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief. She took out a solar-powered flashlight from the system warehouse, fumbled in the darkness and pressed the switch. In an instant, the dark bottom of the cave seemed like daylight.
"As expected of a system product, this thing is so easy to use!" Song Xixi shook the flashlight and couldn't help but praise it.
This strong solar flashlight was drawn in a lottery, and it had been piled in the system warehouse without any use. After a long time, she forgot about such a prize.
She was just counting the available items and found it from the storage compartment in the corner. She didn't expect it to be so effective. It was thousands of times better than the small oil lamp she brought to fool people.
Listening to Erbai Wu's impatient howling, Song Xixi didn't bother to check the situation in the cave, found a place to fix the rope, untied the dog from his back, took out the leash and tied it on.
There is also a four- to five-meter-long rope on Erbaiwu's back, and the other end of the rope is fixed around her waist.
If there was an emergency, Song Xixi would have to use both hands, or at least the rope around her waist, to restrain 250, lest it encounter unforeseen danger and she would be too late to rescue it.
After doing all this, Song Xixi picked up the flashlight to check the situation inside the cave.
The space here is huge. At first glance, it is about as high as a second floor. It gets narrower and more tortuous as it goes up. Even the bright light cannot fully shine through. It is the entrance where she came down.
The ground is rugged and uneven, and if you are not careful, you will stumble and fall into the mud; the surrounding rocks are jagged, with a layer of gray-white material attached to them, and more of them are strange-shaped stalactites, and the air is filled with
A special breath.
This cave extends in all directions, and wherever you look, there are several forks. Fortunately, there is more than one entrance and exit, and the air inside is still circulated. Song Xixi does not feel suffocated, but the smell is really unpleasant, which makes her subconsciously hold her breath.
After a brief look around, she had a certain understanding of the environment of the cave. She lowered her head and said to Gouzi, who was looking at him curiously: "It's very dangerous here. You must stay close to me and don't run around."
After saying that, regardless of whether the dog understood it or not, he took out Young Master Yu's shoes left in the cave and gave the dog a sniff.
Two Hundred and Five immediately got into work mode, carefully noted the scent remaining on the shoes, and began to track it in the cave.
Song Xixi thought that Young Master Yu had been missing for five days, and the traces of his presence were almost gone. No matter whether he was dead or alive, it would not be easy to find his whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, Erbai Wu quickly found the clue, stretched out his paws to pull at a protruding stone, and turned to call her.
Song Xixi hurriedly stepped forward and saw a few silk threads hanging on the sharp points of the stone. She saw that they had been torn from her clothes, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The servants and those who went to the cave yesterday to find someone naturally couldn't afford to wear silk brocade. These silk threads must have been torn from Young Master Yu's clothes.
He didn't have a strong flashlight or a torch or any other lighting object. In this cave where he couldn't see his fingers, if he wanted to move forward to find an exit, he could only move forward slowly and gropingly.
In this way, there will be no chance of tumbles and falls. As long as you look for the traces left by their masters and servants, you will definitely be able to find them.
"Come on, whether your master can get the reward of ten thousand taels of silver depends on whether you can find someone!"
After rubbing the two hundred and fifty dog's head, Song Xixi seemed to see ten thousand taels of shining silver waving to her: "As long as I get the silver, I will buy you a hundred Maji fragrant ducks and let you eat them until you vomit!"
One hundred Moji fragrant ducks are only one hundred taels, only one percent of ten thousand taels. Who would disapprove of this calculation?
