What surprised Jiang Wenming even more was that when he carefully observed the metal baffle inside the bulletproof vest, he found that there were many small indentations on it.

Although these small dots were not big, they were very obvious. Jiang Wen immediately realized that they must have been caused by the sharp stones in the passage.

"Now I can confirm that they got out from here." Jiang Jiyun said with a look of despair, "Those protruding rocks must be their footholds when they climbed up."

Jiang Wenming nodded in agreement.

He gently picked up the person lying on the ground and asked, "So where should we go now?"

Jiang Jiyun shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know either. How about we take a gamble?"

Jiang Wenming did not answer immediately, but looked around at the surrounding environment first.

He found that the underground passage was not big, and the further he went, the narrower the passage became, and in the end he even had to bend down to pass through.

Jiang Jiyun seemed to have noticed this as well. She got down from Jiang Wenming's arms, put on her headlamp again, and then both of them put on masks and prepared to move on.

As Jiang Jiyun walked, she kept rubbing her burning butt. It was obvious that the sliding just now had caused her a lot of pain.

The two of them walked slowly in the passage. It was dark all around them, and only the light from the headlamps above their heads allowed them to see their surroundings clearly.

Jiang Jiyuan, who was driving over there, suddenly noticed the movement in the space. He reached out and fumbled in his own space, then took out a note.

"This is..." Zhang An looked at the note in Jiang Jiyuan's hand in confusion. There seemed to be some words written on it.

"They fell into an underground secret passage. I contacted Brother Peng and asked him to look carefully." Jiang Jiyuan explained, then handed the note to Zhang An.

Zhang An took the note, read the contents carefully, and frowned slightly.

He took out his cell phone and called Peng Yongyan. "Hello, Brother Peng, Xiaoyun informed us that they fell into an underground tunnel. Can you look around carefully?"

When Peng Yongyan on the other end of the phone heard the news, his heart tightened.

He quickly recalled the last place the two men had squatted, and searched carefully in his mind for possible clues.

After hanging up the phone, Peng Yongyan carefully put the phone back into his clothes and tiptoed back to his previous place.

He didn't dare use a flashlight or other light source for fear of attracting other people's attention, so he could only rely on his memory and his hands to grope in the dark.

Peng Yongyan's hands were groping around on the ground, not missing any corner.

As time passed, sweat began to seep out of his forehead, but he did not give up.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, his hand touched a hole the size of a well.

The entrance to the cave was previously covered by some branches, which was well concealed. It was difficult to find if you didn't look carefully. Now it has appeared because it was destroyed by my uncle and others.

Peng Yongyan speculated that this cave entrance should be where the two people fell.

Jiang Jiyun is smaller in stature, so there might not be any problem if he steps on it, but his uncle is larger in stature, so he might miss a step and fall down, and drag Xiaoyun down with him.

Peng Yongyan didn't dare to go down rashly. He decided to stay where he was and wait for Jiang Jiyuan and Zhang An to come.

Not long after, Jiang Wenming and Jiang Jiyun stood in front of an iron fence, seemingly observing something.

Jiang Wenming pressed his body against the gap, trying to squeeze through the narrow space.

He tried his best and finally succeeded in passing through the gap, but when he looked back to the other side, he found that Jiang Jiyun seemed to be frozen in place and did not move at all.

"Hey, Xiaoyun, what are you doing? Come in quickly!" Jiang Wenming shouted impatiently.

Jiang Jiyun's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Jiang Wenming helplessly and said, "Uncle, I can't get through!"

Jiang Wenming took a closer look and realized that Jiang Jiyun seemed to have gained a lot of weight in the past two years and his figure had become much rounder.

He suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Why don't you take off your cotton jacket and try? That might be better."

Jiang Jiyun thought about it and felt that this method was worth a try, so she quickly took off her cotton coat and trousers and tried to pass through the gap again.

This time, her shoulder and one leg passed smoothly, but her stomach got stuck.

"Breathe in, breathe in again, and tighten your stomach. It seems a little too big." Jiang Wenming was anxiously directing from the side, and even reached out to help push it.

However, although Jiang Jiyun tried very hard to breathe in and tighten her abdomen, her stomach was still stuck tightly and she could not move.

Her face flushed and she said embarrassedly, "Uncle, I'm stuck and can't move!"

Seeing this, Jiang Wenming felt both amused and a little worried. He suppressed his laughter and quickly took out a pair of pliers from the space.

He gripped the pliers tightly, clamped the bottom of the iron rod that was pressing against Jiang Jiyun's belly, and then used all his strength to twist the pliers back and forth, left and right, trying to cut the iron rod.

After about ten minutes of hard work, there was a "click" sound and the iron rod was finally cut off.

Jiang Wenming breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away the pliers, and then pried open the broken stick with his hands, rescuing Jiang Jiyun from the predicament.

Jiang Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on his cotton coat and trousers again.

After tidying up their clothes, she and her uncle continued to walk forward, both of them acting as if the embarrassing scene just now had never happened.

After they walked a distance, they smelled a foul odor. Jiang Jiyun could tell that it was the odor of a corpse.

When they got closer, they saw many corpses. Judging from the appearance of the corpses, they should be monks from the temple on the top of the mountain.

"I saw that all the monks in the temple died here." Jiang Wenming looked at the cave entrance in front of him.

"Could that be the well in the temple?" Jiang Jiyun pointed at the round hole.

Jiang Wenming was also a little confused. "Shouldn't this be the bottom of the well?"

"And uncle, have you noticed? The road we are walking on is not straight, it seems to be going around in circles." Jiang Jiyun also looked puzzled.

Jiang Wenming collapsed on the ground and said, "I can't walk with my back bent anymore. It's too tiring."

Jiang Jiyun looked at him sitting on the ground, rubbing his waist and said with a smile, "It turns out that being short has its advantages!"

As she spoke, she took out a tricycle and two sticks from the space and handed them to him, saying, "Uncle, you can sit on it and slide around."

Jiang Wenming took it and sat on it, saying, "This thing is pretty good. My waist almost broke from walking like that just now. By the way, did you leave a mark for your brothers and the others?"

Jiang Jiyun had just finished drawing an arrow on the stone wall and said, "I'll leave it there. I'll also leave a few small cars for them."

"It's a pity that it's all uphill. It would be great if it were downhill." Jiang Wenming sighed as he looked at the car that kept moving backwards as long as his legs touched the ground.
