We only realized that we were in a not-so-large space. Yuanxiao and I raised our flashlight and looked around, and we realized that this was actually a room, and there were some tables and chairs, but these things had become dilapidated.

We looked around and found a wooden door, and the two door panels were closed opposite each other. Yuanxiao waved his hand at me, "Let's go!" and said that, and reached out to pull the two doors. But as the wooden door creaked open, Yuanxiao also exclaimed, "Hey! What's going on?"

When I looked over, I found that the outside of the wooden door was not empty, but was completely filled with thick soil. Yuanxiao and I were a little confused. It turned out that the room we were in was actually completely buried in the soil!

"Dead?" Yuanxiao said differently. I had no way to answer the question of Yuanxiao, because this was also my question. I turned to look at the door and suddenly saw a teapot placed near the base of the wall. I walked over curiously, squatted down and took a flashlight to shoot. This was just a rough porcelain teapot that looked very ordinary, and the teapot was also covered with dust, but I always had a strange feeling that the teapot appeared here with an indescribable abruptness.

I reached out and picked it up curiously, and my heart couldn't help but move. The teapot was not empty! Yuanxiao also came over to take a look and asked, "Is there any problem?" As he said that, he also reached out and picked it up. He was also slightly stunned. He opened the lid of the teapot and shone it in with a flashlight, "There is still water!"

I nodded, and Lanxiao continued, "Can it be the leftovers of your second uncle?"

I shook my head gently, "I don't know." I turned around and looked elsewhere. There was a half-collapsed stove at the bottom of this room. There was a window on the other side, and of course the outside of the window was also buried with soil. Some soil poured in along the window.

I thought for a while and said, "The problem now is, if my second uncle came in from here, then where did others go? The doors and windows here have been sealed. How did he get out?"

Yuanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Can it be your second uncle come in with water and intends to explore it, but he didn't expect to find out that it was a dead end, so he retreated again? He has already left."

I smiled, "How is that possible? My second uncle knows this very well. With my second uncle's ability, I will never make such a mistake!" I shone around with a flashlight, "There must be another mystery in this room!"

Yuanxiao couldn't help but frown, "But where is this so-called mysterious opportunity?"

I thought about it and said, "Lanxiao, what else do you think a house can lead to the outside, besides doors and windows?"

Yuanxiao thought for a while and said, "Sewer!"

"Fuck!" I glared at Yuanxiao and said, "Does there be TM sewers in a house that has been in excess of 1,000 years?" Halfway through my words, I suddenly remembered something, "But you really reminded me."

"What?" Lanxiao asked curiously.

I looked at Lanxiao and said, "If the bottom doesn't work, then you can consider the top."

Yuanxiao was slightly stunned and said, "Do you mean chimney?" As we said that, we both turned back and looked at the half-deep stove behind us.

Yuanxiao approached the stove, squatted down and raised the flashlight to shoot it up, "Zhuoran, don't say it, it's really possible to go out of the chimney. It's spacious than imagined!"

I also squatted down and looked at it, and found that not only that, there were grooves on both sides of the wider flue, which were just suitable for pedaling. I thought our guess should be correct, so I patted Lantern Festival, "Go!" Lantern Festival nodded slightly and took the lead in climbing up.

We climbed to the top of the chimney, and Yuanxiao carefully looked out, then grabbed the upper edge with both hands and turned it out with force. Seeing that Yuanxiao was moving smoothly, I knew there should be no danger on it, so I also climbed to the top of the chimney, grabbed the chimney entrance with both hands, and pushed it out with both arms.

My body had just burst out halfway, and Yuanxiao suddenly reminded me, "Oh, be careful!" But before he finished speaking, my head hit something heavily. I only felt a buzzing sound, and a flash of light in front of me. If Yuanxiao hadn't come up and pulled me, I would have probably fallen down the chimney again after turning over.

Yuanxiao pulled me out of the chimney, "I'll go, what's going on!" I said while rubbing the top of my head.

Yuanxiao sat aside, checked my head, then smiled and said, "I also said I was frizzy. I think you are not much better, so I just ran away when I get up!"

I was a little helpless, "I'll go, I don't know it's so low!" As I said that, I raised my flashlight and shone it around, and then I realized that the space here is actually very small, just a passage that is more than one meter high.

Yuanxiao helped me up and said, "I saw it just now. This should be a thief hole. It's just that the thief hole of this size is definitely not something that can be done in a short while."

I looked at the larger thief hole in front of me in surprise, thought for a while and said, "In other words, the second uncle or the Zhuo family have already dug such a passage, but why is that?"

Yuanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's just to deal with this situation at this moment!" After that, Yuanxiao waved to me, "Let's go! Just look at it!"

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after a while I recovered and followed. From the situation just now, combined with the experience we got from here last time, I guess we are now above those buried houses. Maybe this is an emergency passage left by the ancestors of the Zhuo family? I know that one end of it connects to the exit, so where will the other end be?

However, no matter where we will reach through this thief hole, it seems that walking from here seems much safer than walking in the streets of the dungeon below. The last experience still makes me frightened when I think back on it!

Yuanxiao and I were half-squatting in the thief hole. Although this posture was quite hard, we were not slow because we did not encounter any resistance.

After walking forward for a while, the Lantern Festival in front suddenly turned around and asked, "Zhuoran, do you feel that the temperature seems to have dropped?"

I didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing what Yuanxiao said, I felt it deliberately. Although it was not obvious, I could still tell it. At this time, the temperature around was indeed a little colder than when I came in just now. I said, "Will the overall temperature drop after nightfall? After all, it's not too deep here. Let's take a look, be careful!"

Yuanxiao nodded and continued to walk forward. But before we went out, we both stopped at the same time. Yuanxiao turned to me and said, "No, Zhuoran, something is wrong, the temperature drops too fast!"

Of course, I also noticed this problem. I raised the flashlight and looked around, but couldn't see anything abnormal. Suddenly, I heard that ethereal and looming sound again. I couldn't describe the sound I heard. It was just a sound. This situation even made me unable to tell whether this is my auditory hallucination.

A bad premonition gradually arose in my heart. I clearly remember that last time I came in with Lantern Festival, I encountered a similar situation. At that time, we were hiding in the Niangniang Temple, and a strange sound approached us and left again. At that time, the temperature suddenly dropped. Could it be...

Thinking of this, I immediately had goose bumps. Yuanxiao seemed to have thought of it, and her face instantly became a little ugly, "This is not the same as last time!"

I looked around and said, "The space here is small, and it is closed up, down, left and right. Even if there is something here, I can't get here, right?"

The two of us hesitated for a while, then gritted our teeth and decided to move on!

In fact, if we hadn't had the last experience, we wouldn't know what the temperature drop means to us, but with our previous experience, the terrifying experience kept flashing in our minds. As we went deeper, we didn't know that it was the temperature that was caused by the inner tension, my teeth began to tremble a little, and I always felt that something was peeking at us in the darkness before and after.

I looked back, but at the moment when I turned my head, I suddenly hit Yuanxiao. I was unprepared and was startled, "Why are you still braked?"

Yuanxiao said "tsk" and said, "I don't want to, but there is a fork in front of you."

I leaned forward, and sure enough, I was stunned when I saw a fork in the thief hole in front of me. I didn't expect such a situation to happen. I murmured, "Which should we go?"

"Nonsense!" Yuanxiao also looked confused, "I don't know either! Otherwise," he turned to look at me, "Or throw the coins!"

I thought he could tell me something good, so I couldn't help but glar at him and cursed: "Don't throw it away!" Faced with such a fork in the road, the two of us suddenly froze here.

I turned around and sat down against the cave wall, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. At this time, Yuanxiao pushed me, and said nervously, "Hey, Zhuoran, see if something is coming from there?"

I suddenly looked up and looked at Lanxiao's gaze. Sure enough, I saw something moving and leaning over the fork in the road. I was a little puzzled. Logically, if something really came over and had reached such a close level, I should have heard at least some sound, but now I can't hear any sound at all.
