"I can bear it, I can bear it, I mean 'I can bear it' when I say 'I can bear it'!"
Tartar was happy to see that he had received a "capable man".
"You said you dug a hole from here to get to my place?"
Ta Wentai didn't believe Xin Wu and others' introduction to the drying room. He went to see the wellhead in person, leaned down and looked down. He saw a normal well water flowing quietly, but he didn't see what Xin Wu said. The "ladder" that you can walk down.
"You can't see it here. Under the stone steps in the middle is the entrance to the cave. The entrance to He Yixidui's 'ladder to heaven' is inside. Only people with our stature can go down."
Xin Wu added.
"He Yixi, is he also your little friend?"
Tartar Wentai also admired this child for having such architectural talent, and his thirst for talents arose spontaneously. Now, he not only wanted to keep the king alone.
"Then, you said they have returned from my place and should be in the cave at this time. You ask them to come up and let me take a look."
Tat Wentai was very interested and got to know each of the children in this group. Although they were small and young, they did have many smart points that were different from the people in this city.
"Okay, then I'll go down and call them up." Huo Dun now had 100% trust in the city lord, so he raised his hand and volunteered to go down and call for them.
He had also laughed at He Yixi for not perfecting this "ladder to heaven", but at this time, there was no one more suitable than him to jump up and call people.
"good!"
As if watching a magic show, Tat Wentai watched this little group of red hairs disappear less than two meters into the well; after a while, the red hairs came out again, followed closely behind him one by one. Another group of children crawled out of the well:
"Lord City Lord, these are the ones you have seen. They are Gao Chedang, He Ling and Yao Danggui who were captured by the Tatars to dance together at the Silk Clothes Festival. The most delicate one is He Yixi, this one" He built the ladder to heaven."
When they saw the city lord, Gao Chedang, He Ling and Yao Danggui had the itches on their bodies again, and they all scratched at their backs with their hands from time to time, unable to stop for a moment.
"You guys, since you feel so uncomfortable, hurry up and send us to Naochi for bubbles!"
The city lord was very considerate and ordered a few soldiers to take the three of them back to Naochi.
"Thank you City Lord! We also have a little friend named Shi Baoshan. Maybe he is also with your daughter now. Can you please let him go? We came together and we have to go back together."
On behalf of everyone, Xin Wu expressed his gratitude to Tatar Wentai and winked at Wang Li.
Wang Li understood it all at once and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Yes, City Lord! Do your good deeds to the end and send the Buddha to the West. Now there is only one person left, why don't you help me!"
Tartar Wentai thought for a while and replied, "Okay! I'll go get someone for you."
"However," he turned to He Yixi, "you have to stay, this is my condition."
He Yixi never expected that such a low-key person, who did not dare to say a word and did not want to stand in front of others and make any unnecessary moves, would be taken as a condition for exchange for Shi Baoshan by Tatar Wentai.
"City Lord, I'm of no use! Why do you have to keep me?"
He Yixi replied softly, protesting in a voice that even he could not hear clearly.
"I wonder if you can build a 'ladder to heaven' underground in a well! There are countless wells in our city, but no one has ever been able to build a 'ladder to heaven' underground. This is simply amazing! I I want you to help us build more projects like this."
Tartar Wentai said happily.
"But why didn't you think that this 'ladder' can only be used by people as small as us? You are giants, you can't let children do the work!"
He Yixi's rebuttal was much louder this time.
"Eh! That's right. Why didn't I think of that? We've grown too big, hahaha! The little thing is really smart!"
Ta Wentai squatted down in front of He Yixi, pinched his little arm carefully, and said, "You are so smart, you will definitely be able to come up with more solutions that are suitable for our adult country! It doesn't have to be about repairing underground mines. The 'Ladder to Heaven' trail! I would like to ask you to be our 'Guo Shi' to manage the construction, how about it?"
"No way! How can I do that!"
He Yixi waved his hands repeatedly, his face turned pale with fright.
"You guys, go and bring those three people back! They are not allowed to go swimming. If you don't agree, I will let the three of them die in front of you!"
The city lord suddenly changed his face and changed his mind as soon as he stood up, which completely frightened He Yixi.
"No, no! Just let them go, I, I...I'll stay."
In the end, He Yixi made the "right decision", although it was difficult.
"It's okay, wait until you find an opportunity and then run away! Promise first." Xin Wu approached He Yixi and whispered advice to him quietly.
"That's right! Haha! No need to call."
Ta Wentai's repeated remarks made Xin Wu and Wang Li regret that they should not have let him know too much.
Therefore, Xin Wu decided not to describe how they got here underground. If Tatar Wentai became interested, he would not let people dig up the entire land. By then, if the land was completely cut off, Road, they really can't go back!
In fact, he knows that whether he can go back or not is not a problem. Like Wang Li, he can just "dream escape". This is because he feels that he has the responsibility to take these friends back to their original homes.
There is no way, this nosy "hero's disease" is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Even in a dream, we must carry it out to the end without compromise, and we will never give up until we get results!
The city lord looked at his two newly acquired talents: Wang Li and He Yixi, and was very satisfied; then he turned to the well, circled around the well mouth a few times, and said: "Below, except for the holes you dug, ,what else?"
"No more! Nothing more!"
Xin Wu spoke first and signaled He Yixi with his eyes to stop talking.
"Really? You said there is nothing left, so how did you get here?"
Tartar Wentai is not as careless and easily fooled as he appears.
"We, we just floated here from below, along the water of the underground river. You also know that the water below is all connected."
Xin Wu quickly replied.
"Huh? Is this underground water that deep? Can it float people?"
Tartar Wentai looked unbelieving and looked at the well water below repeatedly to judge the flow rate of the water. Suddenly, he picked up a piece of wood beside the well and threw it into the well.
"You lied to me! Look, the water didn't even cover the wood!"
Tartar Wentai pointed at the wooden stick floating up and down in the water and said.
"City Lord! Would you like to throw another stone?"
Xin Wu laughed like a pig. It seemed that Tatar Wentai couldn't hide anything from him. How could he not even understand that wood is less dense than water and always floats on the water?
In fact, it is no wonder that Tartar Wentai: In this giant country of Sangpu, which is famous for its perennial drought, there are not many opportunities to see the relative movement of wood and water. Whenever there was water, it was used for drinking and watering. I never had the luxury to build a small boat out of wood and try out the experience of rafting on the water.
