Chapter 113

big brother! I know, five golden flowers is the brand of cigarettes that second brother usually smokes! He must have been here, and he's still alive, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to smoke, would he...Sister Hong gave me a good half-day's worth of ideological work, and in the end I was persuaded.

Isn't there an old saying that goes, "If you practice diligently enough, even a piece of iron can be ground into a needle." Sister Hong kept emphasizing my importance in all seriousness, which made me feel rather elated.

The rammed earth in tombs is very hard, but it's afraid of children's urine and edible vinegar. This is the biggest weakness of rammed earth. There may be some chemistry involved here. If you're interested, you can ask a grave robber to buy some rammed earth and take it home to soak it in vinegar to see if it softens. You'll know after trying it once.

Why is emphasis still placed on children's urine At first, I didn't understand this either. However, Red Sister told me that it's possibly because children's urine is weakly acidic, while adult men's is weakly alkaline.

I kept drinking water, gulping it down with the ladle. When my stomach was full, I would lean against the wall to rest. Whenever I felt the urge to urinate, I'd hurry to relieve myself.

My aim was precise, every shot landed in the same spot, as soon as the loess softened after being hit three times, Red Sister began smashing it with stones.

The debris that fell from the wall was secretly piled into a corner by us, and then simply covered with a sack. Old Xu's head was also buried in the soil pile. Otherwise, if someone accidentally saw a human head, they would be terrified.

I don't know what the standard for water intoxication is, but all I do is drink water and sleep. I spend my time staring at the wall and letting water run on it. I feel like my whole body is swollen from drinking too much water.

It might have been two days, or maybe three.

That day, suddenly there was a sound of the stone cover falling.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

People arrived, and I immediately shouted.

Hong Jie and Researcher An immediately stood up, they quickly shielded the indentation on the wall and small mounds of earth in the corner with their bodies. This is what we practiced these past few days, and it's how we got by the last few times.

Because we know the person delivering the food won't come down, he will only glance at us from above. All he needs to see is that the three of us are here.

The food they sent was just plain white steamed bread, and it was so dry and cracked that it was clear their intention was only to keep us alive, not well-fed.

I shouted up, "Hey, brother, could you bring another bucket of water We've all finished ours."

"

This man shook his flashlight down into the empty bucket, glared at it, and shouted, "You bastards are like cows! In just a few days, you've already drunk two buckets of water! Even cows don't drink this much!"

I had demons in my heart, so I loudly explained: "Brother, that girl has been having diarrhea recently. She probably has dysentery. If she doesn't drink a lot of water, she'll dehydrate and die!" I pointed to Dr. An, who was pale and leaning against the wall.

"Damn! I told you so, no wonder it smelled so strongly of urine the moment I opened it. Tie the bucket to a rope and back away! Stay far away!"

"Okay, okay," I quickly fastened the empty bucket to the rope and backed away.

The ladder had been taken away a few days ago, and the bucket was slowly pulled up one by one. Then the lid on top was closed.

After waiting for less than half an hour, a full bucket of water was pulled up by the rope.

This person is efficient, I thought to myself. Perhaps they have been instructed to handle things carefully so that nothing goes wrong for us.

After all, a person can go without food for three or two days without dying of starvation, but if they lack water, they can die of thirst.

"When someone leaves," I said, then met Red Sister's eyes.

This wall wasn't as thick as I imagined. We worked tirelessly, day and night, to break it down. The indentation on the wall grew larger and larger.

Hongjie lightly tapped a few times, the sound from this area was different from elsewhere, it should be about to break through.

"That's strange," Hong Jie said, puzzled. "It's not what I expected. I thought we'd find the remains of people who had died here before, but there's nothing."

"">

I advise Red Sister not to think too much about it. After all, there are so many things happening now, and we don't even know where this wall leads to. Don't go through it and find out that the other side is a dark river or a cliff, then it will be over.

Those people certainly wouldn't know about this, which means that there might be a new undiscovered location behind this wall.

What exactly it is, you have to see for yourself.nging her friends back for lunch today. You guys are too kind to bring meat, why don't you stay and have lunch with us""At this time, the bean sprouts pulled me aside and whispered: "Yunfeng, how can...
