Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows and said, "What, you're still not convinced?"
Zhan Beihan was too lazy to argue with her about this issue, so he put the wooden door aside, stepped into the secret passage, and walked down the steps.
"Wait a minute, I'll get something." Xiao Lingyue wanted to follow, but suddenly thought of something.
She turned around and jumped off the fire bed, walked to the counter in the corner of the bedroom and opened a drawer.
really.
There were several oil lamps in the drawer, all showing signs of use.
Xiao Lingyue picked the two ones with more fuel, returned to the secret passage, lit the oil lamp with a fire stick, and handed it to Zhan Beihan.
"The secret passage is deep underground and is privately built. Who knows how effective the ventilation is inside? Holding this oil lamp can provide lighting. If the fire suddenly goes out, it means there is insufficient oxygen inside and there may be a danger of suffocation. You must exit immediately
Come."
Zhan Beihan took the oil lamp and raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know there is an oil lamp in the cabinet?"
"I guessed it!"
Xiao Lingyue lit another oil lamp and held it in her hand, "This secret passage is so hidden and it's pitch dark inside. How can it be illuminated without fire?"
"Since the bandit leader lives here and often goes in and out of the secret passage, he will definitely put lighting items nearby for easy access at any time."
Therefore, when Xiao Lingyue saw the cabinet in the bedroom, she guessed that there was probably something for lighting inside.
One guess is accurate.
Zhan Beihan said with unclear meaning: "You are quite smart."
Such thoughtfulness makes people even more curious, what did she do before?
"Use it if you need it, it's better than doing it in the dark, right?" Xiao Lingyue said casually.
This oil lamp is different from the candle lamps in ordinary people's homes.
It looks like a lantern, with a handle on it that can be carried in your hand.
Much more convenient than holding a candle.
The two people walked into the dark passage one after another, and their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The secret passage twists and turns downward, and the steps are steep and sharp, making it difficult to see even one's fingers. If there is no oil lamp for illumination, anyone who walks in will become blind.
Xiao Lingyue held an oil lamp in one hand and supported the wall with the other hand, walking down behind Zhan Beihan.
The long and narrow passage was extremely cold, and the sound of the two people's footsteps folded heavily, giving people a sense of horror for no reason.
We walked for about a quarter of an hour.
The two people clearly felt that the temperature in the secret passage had dropped again, and the weak wind flow had become more obvious.
The two dim oil lamps flickered and went out, and the shadows around them swayed.
Xiao Lingyue stretched out her hand to touch the wall and raised the oil lamp to shine: "When we first came in, the walls on both sides of the secret passage were still made of bricks. It was obviously built by manpower, but when we got here, the walls turned into stone."
When the light of the oil lamp shone upward, the secret passage suddenly became much wider, with uneven stones on both sides, like layers of rock buried deep underground, with obvious traces of being dug on it.
"This should be a rock cave that exists in the mountain itself, but it was artificially widened and connected with a secret passage." Zhan Beihan reached out and touched the marks on the stone wall and said lightly.
Xiao Lingyue said: "Maybe the bandits discovered this natural rock path first, and then dug a secret tunnel on it and connected it." Popular 『』
