It wasn't until Lake climbed up from below that Su You discovered the little thing hidden in his arms.
Perhaps because of the recognition of Su You, the white ferret that had influenced Leike to climb the ladder just now was like a perfect specimen, motionless, and his skill at pretending to be dead had obviously improved even more than before.
"Hey, you affected me just now and almost caused me to fall. Now you know how to pretend to be dead?" Lake took the ferret out of his arms with a helpless look on his face.
"Where did you see it?" Originally, Su You didn't care about the white ferret. After all, it was a little thing that he released with his own hands.
But now that she had seen it and saw it here, she still asked, because she suspected that Lake might have come here because of the white ferret.
It turned out that she was right.
Suyou raised an eyebrow when he heard Lake say that he saw the white ferret running out and thought it was a sneak out of the territory, so he thought about catching it back.
"It didn't sneak away, I let it out."
"Huh?" Lake, who was still immersed in the thought that 'this white ferret is a fool who doesn't know how to enjoy life', was stunned.
Su You looked at the white ferret, and saw that after hearing her words, it turned around with tears in its eyes. It looked pitiful, as if Su You was a scumbag who deceived her body and mind.
'Lee...'
It was a pity that Suyou was unmoved, and Bai Mao also saw that Suyou's attitude had no intention of softening, so it suddenly broke away from Lake's arms, and then jumped to the edge of the cave.
Maybe it was because he jumped too hard just now, so he almost didn't hit the brakes, and the whole mink almost fell into the hole again.
Fortunately, he didn't fall this time, otherwise it would have been because of Lake's support last time. Otherwise, if such a small mink suddenly fell, I don't know what would happen.
"Keke!" After standing firm on the edge of the cave entrance, the white ferret danced towards the two of them very excitedly, jumping back and forth, and kept saying words they couldn't understand.
Su You frowned, she seemed to feel that the white ferret wanted to say something to her... Suddenly, Su You's eyes turned to the four walls of the mine.
I saw that there were only countless stones on the inner wall of this place called a 'mine', with no trace of ore at all.
Originally, Lake was still curious about what Su You was looking at, so he imitated Su You and looked left and right...
"There seems to be no ore here?" As soon as he said this, Lake felt as if he had said nonsense.
But these are not the focus. The focus should be-why there is no ore in a mine.
Is this a stone cave?
impossible!
Knowing that this is a mine, if there is such a naturally formed cave, it must be a mine cave, not a stone cave with only stones.
'Cause! Seeing that neither Suyou nor Lake looked at him, Bai Mao was obviously a little anxious.
It yelled again, and when it saw the two people's eyes looking in its direction, Bai Diao went straight down the wooden ladder that Su You had set up before and returned to the cave.
"Hey!" Lake was startled, and then hurriedly came to the hole, lowered his head to check the condition of the white ferret. When he saw it standing safely at the bottom, Lake was relieved.
Before he could say anything, he saw Su You, who was standing behind him, walking over and then going down the ladder like Bai Diao.
"Lord!" Lake was really confused now. He didn't know what happened... It's okay if the white ferret went down. Why did the Lord also go down?
Is there something precious down there?
...Leck really guessed it right! There is something down there!
Su You also knew that this kind of cave in a mine must be a mine, so when she found that there were no obvious traces of ore on the walls of the surface cave, she began to suspect... she suspected that this was probably a chain of mines.
A chain mine literally means a mine formed by at least two interconnected caves. Half of the outermost surface caves have no ore, or only very little ore is exposed.
In the chain mine, the real location of the ore is in the inner cave.
Judging from the current situation, this underground cave is likely to be a passage connecting the two mines!
…
After watching Suyou go down, Lake didn't know for a moment whether he should stay up there now to prevent any accidents, or whether he should go down too...
Just when Lake was about to go down together, he heard Su You's voice coming from below——
"Lake, take a stick with fire and hold it at the entrance of the cave to help with lighting." Although Suyou still had the materials to build a bonfire, the space below was too small.
There was a wooden ladder in the originally small space, and she was standing alone, so there was no room for a bonfire. Since the bonfire could not be placed for lighting, Su You could only use this troublesome way to light it.
"Okay!" Lake turned back and took a burning log back to the cave entrance.
In order to let the firelight shine below, Lake specially reached out and lowered the wooden stick.
"Okay, that's it." With enough light, Su You could clearly see what was underneath the cave.
In the absence of light, she could only see that the ground below the cave was full of stone walls, as if it was just an ordinary cave with nothing special about it.
But now that there was a light source, Suyou could clearly find that the color and texture of the stone wall on one side were completely different from the surrounding ones.
Su You took out the pickaxe that Lake had dropped earlier, and then knocked on the stone wall... The sound was clear and long.
After confirming the location, Su You directly picked up the pickaxe and pointed it at the stone wall to excavate.
Because Lake above was holding a burning stick, he couldn't look directly below and couldn't see what was going on below. However, after hearing this familiar voice, Lake also knew what Suyou was doing at this time.
In less than three minutes, the fire had burned out.
Just when Lake was about to ask if he still needed some light, he heard a sound like the collapse of stone coming from below.
"It's really a chain of mines..." Su You looked at the 'there is a cave' behind the stone wall. While muttering to himself, he also looked at the one he had been staring at with eager eyes since he came down. My own ferret.
Lake's voice came from above. Su You looked away from the white mink, and then said upward: "You go back first. When you go back, remember to take the stones you dug back with you..."
