Chapter 642: Unknown Situation

After she opened this door, the passageway outside was still dark.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran had also adapted to this dark environment and could vaguely see things.

Shu Ruyue said, “By the way, I brought a lighter!”

With that, Shu Ruyue reached for the lighter on her body to light it.

“Don’t!” Li Xiaoran grabbed Shu Ruyue and stopped her.

Li Xiaoran persuaded, “Ruyue, we’re in an underground passageway. The ventilation here isn’t good to begin with. If we light a match now, we won’t be able to breathe! Besides, in this dark environment, it’s safe for us not to light a fire. Once there’s a fire, it might attract some dangerous things and cause us trouble!”

Shu Ruyue decided to listen to Li Xiaoran.

Although she didn’t understand why Li Xiaoran didn’t use the lighter, what she had experienced previously told her that it was definitely right to listen to Li Xiaoran.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you!” Shu Ruyue replied.

Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Shu Ruyue’s reply. Just now, she had already sensed that this place was probably very deep underground.

Because when she took a breath, she realized that the oxygen in here was very thin.

It was unwise to light a match to consume oxygen when oxygen was already so thin.

Moreover, she didn’t know how long the lighter could last. If she lit it now and couldn’t light it when she urgently needed fire, the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.

“Let me tell you, our eyes have already adapted to this dark environment. If you light a match now, we won’t be able to see clearly after we go out later!” Li Xiaoran explained as she walked along the underground passage with Shu Ruyue.

“Yes, I was indeed too rash just now!” Shu Ruyue recalled what she had experienced when she was young and knew that Li Xiaoran was right.

As they walked, Shu Ruyue thought of something and asked, “Do you think Luo

Cheng and Wu Qinghe will come straight to us from where we fell?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled.

“No, they’ll find the entrance of this underground passage to look for us. If we just walk out now, we’ll be fine!”

Shu Ruyue said, “Sigh, I wonder how long we were unconscious for. Wu Qinghe and the others must be very anxious outside!”

Li Xiaoran said firmly, “Don’t be anxious. They’ll find us! Don’t forget that Wu Qinghe is good at divination! They can definitely find us!” Shu Ruyue was amused by Li Xiaoran’s words.

“That’s right. How could I have forgotten that?”

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “You’re too anxious! Let’s go! Let’s hurry up and walk out! ”

Shu Ruyue nodded and continued walking with Li Xiaoran.

If not for the fact that her surroundings were dark and the air didn’t smell good, Li Xiaoran would have thought that she was out for a walk.

“Sigh, Xiaoran, since there’s such a passageway under Shatai Village, no wonder they could escape and hide even when the officials surrounded them.” As Shu Ruyue spoke, an idea suddenly popped up. “Sigh, Xiaoran, do you think those women who were captured by the village were hidden in this underground passageway? That’s why people couldn’t find them?!”

Li Xiaoran smiled when she heard Shu Ruyue’s words.

“That’s very likely! We might even meet some people in the passage. We can save them in passing!”

Shu Ruyue thought of what those people in Shatai Village had done and said angrily, “That’s right. If we encounter them, we have to save them! The men in this village are too inhumane!”

Li Xiaoran said, “In the past, I always felt that looking down on poor people was a form of prejudice. But now that I’ve seen the situation in Shatai Village, I finally understand why they said that. Poverty can make people go crazy!”

When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she remembered something she had personally experienced.

“When I was roaming the martial world previously, I met a family. At that time, I felt that this family was very pitiful, so I wanted to help them! But gradually, that family took my help for granted. Because they were poor, I should give them all my money. If I didn’t help them, it would be my fault.”

“At that time, I realized that people can be kind, but it also depends on if the other party is someone worth helping. Some people are not worth helping at all! There are also some people who don’t know how to be grateful at all!” Shu Ruyue sighed.

Li Xiaoran could understand Shu Ruyue’s feelings. She nodded and echoed, “I understand how you feel. Not everyone in this world is worthy of being treated gently! Perhaps those people are here to teach us a lesson! It’s something we have to experience in our lives! Only by experiencing this can we grow up!”

Shu Ruyue nodded in agreement with Li Xiaoran.

They walked until they reached a fork in the road.

There was a passageway on both sides. For a moment, the two of them didn’t know where to go!

Li Xiaoran closed her eyes and sensed carefully.

“Take the left route! There are people on the left. They don’t seem to be from Shatai Village. These people have very weak auras and seem like they’re on the verge of death!”

Shu Ruyue thought that Li Xiaoran had heard all this, so she walked to the left with Li Xiaoran.

Not long after they left, a familiar wooden door appeared in front of them.

Shu Ruyue looked around and asked in a low voice, “Are those poor women really locked inside?”

After Li Xiaoran sensed it, she felt that it was very likely the case.

Shu Ruyue asked again, “How is it? Should we save them?”

Li Xiaoran pondered for a moment and said, “Open the door first. Let’s go in and take a look!”

Shu Ruyue nodded, took out her tools, and opened the door gently.

After pushing open the door, it was very quiet inside.

After the two of them walked in carefully, they realized that a woman was actually locked in this pit.

“Xiaoran, there’s only one woman!” Shu Ruyue said as she squatted down and checked the woman’s condition. “She’s still alive!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she thought for a moment and said, “Wake her up. Let’s ask her what’s going on!”

Shu Ruyue nodded and reached out to push the woman.

“Hey, wake up! Wake up!”
