Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 776 Discovering the Flowerpot Mechanism

Jiang Wenming thought about it and agreed. They didn’t know what the structure underneath was. If it collapsed, wouldn’t that mean their mission had failed?

So, the two adults and one child began to dig the soil in the yard enthusiastically.

They worked hard, turning over the soil shovel after shovel, hoping to find what they wanted underground.

Time flies, and it's noon in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Jiyun was so tired that she was out of breath. She sat down by the pool and looked at the fish swimming around in the pool. She felt a little more relaxed.

She washed her hands, took out the food from the space, and prepared to eat lunch.

Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei also came over and washed their hands together to prepare for dinner.

Xiao Wei took a sip of water and suddenly said, "We've dug so deep, why haven't we found it yet?"

There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

The three people's protective suits were covered in mud and looked a little disheveled.

They sat together, eating beef sauce with steamed buns in big mouthfuls.

Just then, they heard the crying sound again.

Jiang Jiyun stood up quickly as if he was pricked by a needle and ran to the iron stake.

She pressed her ear against the hole in the iron pillar and listened carefully.

After a moment, she was sure that the sound came from below.

Xiao Wei also came over, listened to the sound, frowned and said, "That doesn't seem to be a child crying, it sounds a bit like the sound of an animal."

His words made Jiang Jiyun's face instantly become solemn.

An idea flashed through Jiang Jiyun's mind, and she said awkwardly, "Could that be a giant salamander?"

Jiang Wenming seemed to have thought of an animal as well. He murmured, "The giant salamander you're talking about isn't it a giant salamander?"

After hearing the sound disappear again, Jiang Jiyun said dejectedly, "So we worked for half a day in vain?"

Without saying a word, Jiang Wenming stuffed the remaining steamed bun in his hand into his mouth, then grabbed the shovel and jumped into the pit.

They used to think that military shovels were inconvenient for digging soil, so they had long since switched to shovels.

Jiang Wenming wolfed down his food, still mumbling, "I've dug so hard, and it's come to this. I just can't bear not to pull it out!"

Jiang Jiyun, who was standing at the edge of the pit, almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

She secretly sighed in her heart that the Chinese people's habits are really everywhere. The "since I'm here" joke can come in handy at any time.

Jiang Wenming continued to work hard and dug several more times.

Just as he dug down with the shovel, there was a sudden dull "Duang!" sound, which made his arm numb.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Wei also ran down quickly.

The two of them came behind their uncle and saw him squatting on the ground, desperately digging the soil with his hands.

"Uncle, did you find it?" Jiang Jiyun came forward curiously, wanting to see what was going on.

Jiang Wenming's face darkened as he said unhappily, "Don't be too happy too soon. I'm afraid we won't be able to get the person out. It seems like there's a basement down there made of molten iron. It's very hard!"

"Wow~" When Xiao Wei heard this, he hurried forward to take a look.

Sure enough, he saw a piece of exposed metal surface. Xiao Wei shouted excitedly: "Wow, have we found treasure?"

"Treasure?" Jiang Jiyun's eyes lit up, and she seemed to see countless gold, silver and jewels flying towards her.

Jiang Wenming has been thinking in his heart that this might really be a treasure. After all, who would spend such a huge amount of money to build such an extremely solid basement for no reason?

At this time, Jiang Jiyun seemed to be full of energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

She shouted excitedly, "Then let's quickly look for the entrance!"

So the three of them began to explore carefully in this extremely spacious yard again.

Jiang Jiyun did not miss any corner, even the small stones in the corners were turned over by him.

Xiao Wei was even more exaggerated. He even lifted up the bluestone slabs that paved the path one by one, for fear of missing any possible clues.

After a long and arduous search, Jiang Wenming was finally exhausted and out of breath, and had to lean on a large flower pot to rest.

He gasped and exclaimed, "Whoever designed this secret room is so smart!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei also sat down beside them and echoed, "Yeah, and this family is really rich! Look at their flower pots, they're all made of porcelain, and then look at these big flower pots in their house, they're actually all cast iron!"

After hearing this, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming looked at each other, and their gazes, as if they had telepathy, fell on the four iron flower pots in the yard at the same time.

Jiang Wenming immediately stood up and tried to push away the flowerpot he had been leaning against.

However, no matter how hard he pushed, the flowerpot seemed to be nailed firmly to the ground and did not move at all.

Xiao Wei, who was standing nearby, saw this and quickly stepped forward to help.

The two of them tried their best and pushed in several directions, but the flowerpot remained as steady as a rock, showing no sign of moving.

Just when they were at their wit's end, Jiang Jiyun suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Why don't we try to make them spin in circles?"

This idea seemed a bit novel to Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei, but it was also a feasible solution.

So, the two of them stood face to face and began to turn the flowerpot together.

"Click, click, click..." The sound of gears turning suddenly rang out. Although the sound was a bit harsh, it made Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei very excited. It meant that they were one step closer to success.

At this moment, Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei seemed to be injected with infinite power, and were full of energy.

They quickly ran to the other three pots and started turning them in the same way.

However, just as they were turning the last flower pot, an accident happened.

Jiang Jiyun, who was standing on the steps of the corridor watching, suddenly felt his feet go empty. He lost his support in an instant and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"Ah..." Following Jiang Jiyun's scream, Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei turned around in shock, but they only saw the empty corridor and the "Ah" still echoing in the air.

Their nerves tensed up instantly, and the movements of their hands came to an abrupt halt.

Then, their eyes quickly locked onto the dark hole in the distance.

The two men took quick steps and ran towards the cave entrance.

They saw that the staircase where Jiang Jiyun was originally standing was slowly moving forward along with the ground.

At that time, one of Jiang Jiyun's feet was still on the upper step, but her body weight was completely on the other foot.

What's worse is that she is standing on these movable steps!

As the mechanism was activated, the staircase slid forward at an astonishing speed, and Jiang Jiyun had no time to react.

Her body lost balance and rolled down like a ball.
