Strongest Worker

"See those bronze columns?" Xie Yuyan said casually with a gentle finger. "These dozens of columns start from the foundation of the first floor and extend to the last floor, forming the hardest skeleton. It is also the real secret that the ancient building will not fall for thousands of years. This is much more reliable than ordinary stone buildings."

"Extending from the first floor to the eighth floor?" Li Qing stared in amazement. "How long does it take? Tens of meters? How did ancient people pour it?"

"It's not easy. It's not too complicated to build one layer after another." Xie YuYan's beautiful eyes blinked and looked around. "It's all kinds of mechanisms in the ancient building. It's really hard to touch the depth."

When they were talking, they were dirty all over. The old gun had staggered over, stopped four or five meters away from Xie Yuyan, leaned slightly, smiled and said, "Master Li, where are you from?"

Li Qing thought about his guess along the way. The old gun was very likely to be a traitor in the team. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he still smiled from the corner of his mouth: "something has changed, I fell behind, and now I'm back."

Whether Xie Yuyan suspects the old gun or not, these tomb robbers are still valuable, and Li Qing is not stupid enough to tear his face in this case.

"Oh, oh." the old gun nodded again and again. Li Qing didn't say much, and he didn't ask much.

Li Qing's eyes crossed the old gun and scanned the dozens of people behind him. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure. It was Huo Yi.

When Li Qing looked at each other, Huo Yi also turned his head and glanced at Li Qing. He quickly staggered his eyes, as if he didn't know him at all, and continued to be busy with the work at hand. Li Qing wondered why Huo Yi pretended not to know himself? Why was he not surprised to see himself? Or did you know you were here before, so this is a safe response after weighing again and again after surprise?

"How's it going?" Xie Yuyan asked faintly, "I don't have much time."

The old gun carefully replied, "don't worry, Miss Xie. We've found the eyebrows. Although the immortal building is solid, it's the top floor after all. If the wall is too thick, it's easy to collapse. It's not difficult to dig a hole."

"That's good."

Xie Yuyan nodded slightly. When he was about to turn around to other places, the old gun suddenly shouted behind him: "Miss Xie!"

"Hmm? Anything else?"

The old gun rubbed his hands: "this... Is really hard to say, and I know it's not a serious time to talk about this, but..."

Xie Yuyan tilted his head: "do you want to increase the price?"

The old gun's face changed. He quickly stepped back and bowed repeatedly: "Miss Xie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! No one thought so many people would die when I took this job. Now we've lost more than half of our brothers, and there may be some trouble later. Most of these brothers have given me more than ten years. It's my duty to take care of their wives and children..."

Gently waved his hand, Xie Yuyan said directly: "double it for you again, do you have any objection?"

The old gun was slightly stunned, and immediately the corners of his mouth opened, revealing two rows of irregular yellow teeth: "Oh, Miss Xie is kind-hearted. I don't want this old face. Thank you, thank you. Brothers must remember Miss Xie's kindness."

"It doesn't matter. You can do things at ease. If you're not satisfied, just speak."

"Don't dare, greedy snake swallows elephant. We understand this truth. We don't dare to bother Miss Xie any more."

Xie Yuyan nodded slightly, winked at Li Qing, and then the two turned and left.

While walking, Li Qing said, "this old gun is quite interesting."

"Oh, I don't see you're quite childish." Xie Yuyan sneered, "there are many things like them. Even if I increase the price ten times, it may not be one and a half more in the hands of the families of the dead."

After winding around a bronze column, Li Qing whispered, "don't you think there's a problem with this old gun?"

"Who has no problem coming here?" Xie Yuyan rolled his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Li Qing looked around. Master Deng was checking Caiyun's arm wound. Seeing Li Qing looking over, he raised his hand and waved.

Looking back, Li Qing whispered, "I came in behind those people and found that someone threw cigarette butts all the way to guide them. I thought about it. Among these people, it seems that only old guns have this ability."

"My wife and children are all in my hands and ask me a price on the spot. What do you think such a person will betray me for?" Xie Yuyan asked faintly, "old gun is very smart. He knows when to do what. Compared with him, I think the problem lies with his men."

"What do you think..."

As soon as Li Qing's words were out, Xie Yuyan suddenly shook his head at him: "it doesn't matter."

"Not important?" Li Qing looked confused. "Why not important?"

The jade hand tightened slowly and beat it gently on Li Qing's chest. Xie Yuyan smiled coldly at the corners of his mouth: "none of them want to go out alive and ask me for a sky high price? Dream!"

Li Qing's body was slightly stiff, staring at Xie YuYan's delicate and beautiful cheek in front of him, and suddenly felt cold all over. But at the same time, he had to admit that Xie Yuyan was right. Old guns are hard to control. Now they know so many secrets with them. If they are not kept silent forever, it will be difficult for anyone to feel at ease.

"I see, but I have a request." Li Qing slowly opened his mouth. "The one named Huo saner, stay for me."

"Do you know?"

"Friend."

With a sneer, Xie Yuyan didn't speak. Obviously, she didn't understand why Li Qing made such a bad friend. But thanks for YuYan's arrogance, but he was unwilling to ask.

"Out! Out!"

Not far away, there was an excited cry. Li Qing looked at the sound and saw that the old gun was turning around and waving to himself and Xie Yuyan: "you two, there's a spectrum!"

"Go and have a look." Li Qing walked back side by side with Xie Yuyan. Huo Yizheng was half kneeling on the ground and slowly pulled out a half meter long green stone brick from the paint layer stripped off the wall.

"Ha ha ha, Huo saner, good job!" the old gun happily patted Huo Yi on the shoulder and smiled with a wrinkled face.

With the opening, the work behind was much easier. The old gun's men gathered together and opened a square hole nearly one meter and five meters wide after a while.

The innermost layer is a wooden building structure, which has been highly rotten for a long time. The old gun lengthened the engineer's shovel and rammed it. The broken wood fell below one after another, and then a cool wind poured in from the hole.

"Yes." the old gun straightened up, handed the engineer's shovel to the people around him and said to Xie yuflue: "Miss Xie, do you want to send someone out to explore the way first?"

Li Qing looked around and felt that the people present seemed to have the ability to explore the depth of their skills. He immediately took a half step forward and wanted to speak.

But before he could speak, he immediately felt a sudden pain under his feet and bowed his head in amazement. Huo Yi, squatting to rest, kicked himself hard.

Huo Yixiu was panting, his forehead was sweating and ticking on the ground. He had just pulled out the green stone brick, which obviously consumed his great physical strength. Ignoring Li Qing's puzzled eyes, Huo turned his head and looked away, as if the foot he had just kicked Li Qing was just his unintentional mistake, and he didn't intend to apologize for it.

"Yes, send someone down." Xie Yuyan said faintly.

The old gun gave a dry smile. Listening to Xie YuYan's ear, he immediately looked at him with a horizontal look: "what? Do you mean to let my men go down?"

"That's all. I'll find someone to go down and try." Xie Yuyan waved his hand gently. "Those people under me are not used to doing this way and can't compare with you. I thought I hired Guan Nan's most powerful sand Turner, so..."

Hearing Xie YuYan's words, Lao gun's face changed for a moment and quickly waved his hand: "no, no, Miss Xie will be wrong. How dare I let your people go down. This kind of dirty work is our duty."

Then the old gun quickly waved: "three melons! Take a gun, tie a rope and go down. If there is something wrong, shout, and the brothers will pull you up right away."

The three melons in the mouth of the old gun are actually a big man in his early thirties. Li Qing wondered why the old gun called him by such a funny name. Was it because he was the third in his family?

One end of the rope was tied to the bronze column, and the other end was thrown out of the hole. The man fastened the hook at his waist to the rope. After listening to the old gun's instructions, he went down from the broken hole.

Li Qing and Xie Yuyan stood behind. The other two under the old gunman lit a wolf's eye flashlight, half knelt on the ground, stretched out half of their body, and met the man who explored the way below.

As time went by, the old gun asked nervously, "how many meters has the three melons gone down?"

"Twenty meters, very smooth." a young man replied.

The old gun nodded gently. He just breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly he heard a cry from outside: "come on! Pull me up! Pull me up! There's something! There's something outside!"

"Gun master, three melons say it's strange!"

The old gun suddenly shivered and hurriedly said, "pull him up!"

Other people hurriedly pulled the rope behind. The man outside shouted in panic and couldn't stop. He seemed to have really encountered something terrible, with a sharp and unpleasant voice.
