Chapter 40 Two Roads Going Parallel
Li Xuan and Lin Mo only returned to the sea of flowers at noon.
After getting off the carriage, Lin Mo returned to the backyard of the supervisor's mansion and went to sleep in his room.
Although it was safe to go out this time, Lin Mo felt very tired. After all, Lin Mo almost lost Li Xuan.
After Li Xuan watched Lin Mo return to the supervisor's office, he did not go back to the supervisor's office to rest. Instead, he went directly to the North District to check what condition his small courtyard was in.
Half an hour later, Li Xuan returned to the North District and saw his small courtyard from a long distance away.
The wall of the small courtyard is still there, but the thatched house inside has disappeared.
Pushing the door open and walking in, Li Xuan saw the four Liu Li brothers and Bai Wen in a large pit, ramming soil and filling the pit with rocks.
"Uncle Liu, Brother Bai Wen!" Li Xuan greeted several people.
After hearing Li Xuan's voice, several people in the pit stopped, raised their heads and looked at Li Xuan.
"Brother Xuan, you're back!" Liu Li and Bai Wen greeted Li Xuan in unison.
"Yes, the building materials have been purchased and will be delivered to us in two or three days. But Uncle Liu, our progress is very fast." Li Xuan said to Liu Li He said with a smile.
“Haha, we brothers haven’t built a house with serious building materials for several years, and our hands have been itchy for a long time. Now that we finally have the opportunity, we naturally hope to build the house as soon as possible. Ah." Liu Li smiled heartily at Li Xuan.
"Uncle Liu Li is going to work hard during this period. In this way, let's take a day off tomorrow, go to the supervisor's office to have a good day, rest and recuperate, wait for the building materials, and then continue to build the house when they arrive." Li Xuan thought for a while, Then he said to Liu Li with a smile on his face.
"That's really great. We brothers have been craving for the food in the supervisory house for a long time. Now, thanks to Brother Xuan, we can finally taste it!" Liu Li heard that Li After Xuan's words, his eyes lit up.
The food in the North District is really bad, and there is basically no time to have a full meal, so now that he can eat good food and wine, Liu Li is naturally very excited.
"Uncle Liu, let's stop here today and go back to rest. Brother Bai Wen and I still have some things to do." Li Xuan directly gave Liu Li an eviction order.
"Okay, Brother Xuan, let's go back early to rest today, and go to the supervisor's office for a good meal tomorrow morning!" Liu Li didn't say anything more, just nodded, and then agreed with Li Xuan's instructions.
Then Liu Li and his four brothers left Li Xuan’s courtyard with their tools.
"Brother Xuan, what's the matter?" Bai Wen also asked Li Xuan curiously.
"Let's talk in the basement." Li Xuan lowered his voice and then said to Bai Wen.
Bai Wen nodded, then found the entrance to the basement, opened the cover, and Li Xuan and Bai Wen entered the basement.
At this time, the basement was brightly lit by the Spark Vine.
Li Xuan and Bai Wen sat directly on the chairs.
“Brother Xuan, what’s going on?” Bai Wen asked Li Xuan curiously.
"I want to start digging the tunnel now." Li Xuan looked solemnly and looked at Bai Wen seriously.
"Are you so anxious?" After Bai Wen heard Li Xuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Xuan with a puzzled face and asked.
"I feel like Ju Douluo still doesn't have too much confidence in me. The sooner the tunnel is dug, the sooner I can rest assured." Li Xuan sighed and said helplessly.
Ju Douluo put too much pressure on Li Xuan, and Li Xuan learned from Lin Mo that as long as he cultivated the strange velvet giant chrysanthemum, Ju Douluo would kill him without hesitation. Own.
If the tunnel can be successfully excavated, I will have a way out by then. "Okay, Brother Xuan, I listen to you. If that's the case, then I will start digging the tunnel today and dig it out as soon as possible." Bai Wen nodded seriously, then patted his chest and promised Li Xuan.
"I'm not so anxious. This tunnel will be very long. We'll wait until the building materials are delivered. Let's start digging the tunnel again, otherwise, it will easily collapse." Li Xuan waved his hand quickly and said.
If the tunnel is only a few meters long, it is not a big problem whether it has a frame to support it. However, the tunnel Li Xuan wants to dig is several kilometers long, or even more than ten kilometers long. In this case, a stable frame is needed. This will ensure nothing goes wrong.
Otherwise, once the tunnel collapses, Li Xuan and Bai Wen's idea of digging a tunnel to escape will be discovered.
At that time, Li Xuan was afraid that it would be too late to run away.
"It makes sense... but Liu Li and the others still have some remaining building materials. I can use those building materials as authentic supports first, enough to hold on until the new materials are delivered." Bai Wen thought for a moment, and then faced Li Xuan said.
"This is really possible." Li Xuan's eyes also lit up. In this case, the tunnel excavation can indeed be started a few days in advance.
"But, Brother Bai Wen, if it's underground, you have to dig tunnels day and night in a dark place." Li Xuan frowned and told Bai Wen the difficulty of digging tunnels.
"What's the matter? As long as we can leave this place of flowers and endure hardships, freedom is the most desirable thing!" Bai Wen waved his hand quickly, looking at Li with yearning in his eyes. Xuan said.
"Since Brother Bai Wen is not afraid of hardship, I will thank you here. I will prepare enough food and water for you to ensure that you can eat enough underground, but the best food is still Bread, so I feel wronged by Brother Bai Wen!" Li Xuan nodded to Bai Wen and said.
"What's wrong with this? Just let me eat enough." Bai Wen said with a smile.
"By the way, Brother Bai Wen, I got another good thing this time when I went to Sala City. Look." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he took out the map from the Kongming Pearl and placed it on Bai Wen's table. in front of.
"This...this is a map! A map including the sea of flowers!" After looking at it for a while, Bai Wen's eyes lit up, and then he said to Li Xuan with a face of surprise.
Li Xuan nodded, and then based on his memory, he began to determine the direction, and then researched a tunnel that could be dug.
Soon, Li Xuan had an idea in mind, grabbed a charcoal pen, and drew a straight line on the map.
This is the end point and direction of Li Xuan's tunnel as estimated.
The length of the tunnel is more than eight kilometers, and the focus is a low mountain. As long as an exit is opened on the back of the low mountain, Li Xuan and Bai Wen can leave the sea of flowers.
“Eight kilometers is much shorter than I thought. It’s great!” After seeing the estimated distance, Li Xuan’s eyes lit up and he said happily.
"Come on, Brother Bai Wen, you move down the building materials first, and I'll get you some supplies." Li Xuan smiled at Bai Wen and said.
"Okay, Brother Xuan." Bai Wen nodded, and then walked out of the basement, ready to move things.
Li Xuan took out a bag of big ribba from the Kongming Pearl and a dozen jars filled with water, which was enough for Bai Wen to eat and drink for a while.
After placing all these things in the basement, Li Xuan began to dig the tunnel to the stone wall again.
Dear readers, tomorrow is the weekend. I wish you all a happy day.
Dear readers, I’m sorry. In fact, I finished writing this chapter last night, but I was too sleepy and wrote garbled characters. In the end, I didn’t dare to post it. Then I just had some free time today and checked it again. I revised it several times before sending it out. Sorry, fellow officials, it’s a bit late.
ps: There was really garbled code last night. When I looked back, I wrote a record of the Tang Dynasty and wrote all the lines...
