How could Xiao Yong disagree? Joy flashed through his eyes. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at Su Bujing, as if he wanted to ask.

Obviously, the person he believed in more was Su Bujing.

Usually it is not a matter of life and death in principle. Su Bujing will not refuse the family's small request. She smiled and said: "When the time comes, give Brother Xiaoyong some more water."

Although he was speaking to Zhao and others, his eyes were looking at Xiaoyong. When he saw that he was so excited that his forehead touched the ground, Su Bujing turned his head.

"Let's go to the east first. The ground is being dug in the east... By the way, are there many people there?"

Xiao Yong replied: "There are many, many, but they are basically people like me. When adults go there, it will be very...obtrusive?"

He learned the word abrupt from Brother Mu.

Su Buyi took the initiative to help Xiaoyong, with a particularly kind attitude, "Then let's go and have a look first. After looking at the east side, we can go to the west side."

Xiaoyong shook his head in flattery and carefully avoided Su Buyi's hand. He was very dirty. What if he was offended?

"Going down from here, the adults will walk in front and Xiao Yong will guide the way from behind."

Xiaoyong pointed to the hole beside his feet and made a humble gesture of "please".

Su Buying calmly pulled Su Buyi and walked down first.

The eldest brother is so courageous that he can go to the front with her so that he can deal with special situations and provide cover for those behind him.

Su Buyi raised her eyebrows, gave Su Yuanshan and others a look, and walked down the stairs.

The hole in the ground was not big, and it was not conspicuous when it was far away. At first, Su Buyi was a little worried that he would hit his head. It was not until he discovered how spacious the hole was that he felt relieved.

Standard structure with narrow outside and wide inside.

It seems like the people underground put a lot of thought into it, and it doesn't look like it was built in a day or two.

It's very spacious below, and the stairs made of accumulated soil are very smooth. It looks like they've been stepped on frequently, and they're all slick.

Su Bujing touched and touched as he walked, "Xiaoyong, where are the others?" They were the only ones in the cave, didn't the others need to come out to collect the straw mushrooms?

Xiao Yong was walking at the back. When he heard Su Bujing calling him, he quickly replied: "They are all resting outside. Every time they go to the east to dig, the number of people digging will be limited to less than a hundred people. Each batch will work for five hours. We'll take turns, and the work in the east will never stop."

He had just finished his work and went to collect some straw mushrooms after his shift, but he didn't even confiscate a handful when he met these people.

"The nobles all live in the east, and they hate the noise... Do you want to go to the ground and see where we live?"

It was a messy, disgusting, sticky, numb place.

Xiao Yong himself didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't help but hope that the person in front of him could go back with him.

They are nice people and have a soft heart. Maybe after seeing their situation, they would want to help them.

"No," Su Bujing shook his head without hesitation, "We've already come down, so we won't go up. And let's just ask about something." Unless something goes wrong, he won't stay here for long.

She didn't want to do some meaningless things, such as leading the suffering people to resist bravely, overthrowing the state pastor, and restoring order.

At least for now, it's not necessary.

She just wanted to get out of this never-ending rush as soon as possible.

Life is short, and she doesn't want to waste time on these things.

Su Buyi smiled and said: "If we don't find anything useful, maybe you can point us to where those noble people stay."

Xiaoyong's peeled and pale lips trembled, and he glanced at the expressions of Su Yuanshan and others without being noticed. Seeing that none of them had any objection, he couldn't help but lower his head.

Zhao rushed away and waved to Su Buyou, who was at the end, and motioned for him to walk next to Su Buwei in front. The air suddenly became quiet. Just as he finished walking up the stairs, Su Bujing looked at the four holes in front of him and stopped.

The cave is indeed cooler than the ground, but it's still hot where it should be, and it can even be said to be stuffy.

There was no fire on the earthen wall, it was pitch black, probably because he was reluctant to waste firewood.

Su Bujing's vision was not affected by this, and the same was true for Su Buyi. In such a dark environment, his ink-washed eyes shone brightly.

After the stairs, branch off from here.

Su Bujing asked: "Brother Xiaoyong, which way should we go east?"

Xiao Yong had adjusted his mentality at this time. With just the right amount of anxiety, he pointed at the second hole from the left, "This is it. Please forgive Xiao Yong for being rude and allow Xiao Yong to lead the way, because there are still There are many forks in the road.”

Xiaoyong's voice was a little hoarse, but it was very clear in the semi-sealed cave.

Su Buyi nodded secretly without any trace.

Su Bujing gave way to Xiao Yong in a very natural manner, "Can you see the road clearly?"

Xiaoyong nodded. After nodding, he realized that the surroundings were dark. They probably didn't see it, so he immediately responded. He was used to walking, and he could even touch back with his eyes closed.

"Okay, hurry up."

After Su Bujing finished speaking, Xiao Yong led the way in a sensible way. While leading the way, he also introduced where the other cave entrances led.

After turning and turning, Su Bujing and Su Buyi remembered the way they came from with clear minds.

"By the way, you live on the ground, and the nobles live in the east. What about the other places? Where are the four corners?" Su Buwei said curiously, breaking the slightly eerie calm in the cave.

Xiao Yong answered all questions, "There are not so many places now, only the east and west. But now the focus is on the east where the nobles live, and only a larger pit has been dug on the west."

Su Buwei curled his lips, "Yes, there are so many officials, I'm afraid there won't be enough people living in the east."

Xiao Yong twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment but said nothing because what he said was the truth.

Not long after, Su Bujing and others saw light orange fire seeping out in front of the cave.

"We're just ahead. If you want to ask anything, just call me... you are nobles." Xiao Yong said as if to remind.

"The digging place is not close to where the nobles live, so no one will disturb the adults' interest."

Su Bujing glanced at Xiao Yong with a smile, and received a slightly honest smile from him, with his waist arched like a shrimp.

There is a tacit understanding on both sides.

Su Bujing patted the dust off his body, showed his shining white face generously, and stepped into the cave.

Inside the cave

A hundred shirtless men and women were digging the soil with hoes, and no one was lazy, because there was a man with a whip supervising them.

Whenever anyone slowed down, he would give him a hard whip.

Xiaoyong's whole body trembled subconsciously, as if recalling the bone-crushing pain.

Su Bujing kept walking, striding up to the man holding the whip, raising his chin, and kicked him, looking a little careless, "You don't even show respect when you see me?"

The man holding the whip was just about to get angry and charge up the whip, but when he saw a cold white color, he was stunned and knelt down without thinking, "My lord, you're good at kicking. A person like me who has no dignity or inferiority can't do it." You should be taught a lesson!”

Su Bujing curled his lips slightly. Just now, the second brother said that there were too many nobles in the east to live in. Xiao Yong had no objection. If he wanted to have an overseer, he would definitely not recognize them all. It would be okay to be more wanton.
