Chapter 62 Chapter Sixty-Two A Difference of a Single Hair (2)

  The water demon child said: "Just now we two people, can't figure out anything, what other methods do you have?"

  Huǒ Xiǎo Xié smiled mischievously and said, "Just now, the two of us together, some methods were not very convenient. Give me a little time, I'll review it again. Shuǐ Yāoér, you hide a bit further away, don't watch me."

  Shuiyao'er took a look at Huoxiao Xie, saw the self-confidence in his eyes, clenched her fist and put away the 'Mist' Dizzy Pill, saying: "Alright! You try again!" As she spoke, she stood up and retreated to one side, turning her back on Huoxiao Xie and the others.

  Huo Xiao'e said with a sly smile on his face: "Ah, Qian Zhanggui, since it's just the two of us big men here, I won't be polite!" As he spoke, he picked up his own discarded jacket and stuffed it into Qian Zhanggui's mouth.

  The Water Goblin had his back turned and didn't know what Little Fire Evil was up to, only hearing Boss Qian let out a loud, pained groan! The Water Goblin was just about to turn around when Little Fire Evil shouted: "Water Goblin, don't look! Don't look!" The Water Goblin could only turn his head again, wondering what kind of 'trick' Little Fire Evil was playing.

  "All he heard was a soft voice behind him scolding: 'Will you or won't you? Nod if you will!'"

  Qian Zhanggui was speechless, and immediately let out a loud grunt, as if Huo Xiaoxie had done something that made him extremely uncomfortable! Huo Xiaoxie cursed again: "Don't say I'll pluck every single one of your hairs!" Qian Zhanggui grunted again. This back-and-forth exchange happened seven or eight times, and Shui Yao'er listened with a shocked heart, no longer daring to look back.

  "Are you going to say it or not?"

  Qian Zhanggui wailed incessantly, and Huo Xiaojiao called out "good" in a voice that seemed to loosen Qian Zhanggui's mouth.

  Qian Zhanggui panted and said: "You, you, are you still human? Do you want to kill me? Must you humiliate me like this?"

  "Speak quickly! Do you want to try again?"

  Qian Zhanggui panted: "I say, I say! Please don't dig anymore! This wall can't be dug through, the best way is to burn it with fire."

  "What's burning?"

  Qian Zhanggui panted: "It's just burning, what else can be done?"

  "Old mixed 'hair'! Still showing off!" Before the words fell, Qian Zhuanggui shouted again, his body tossing and turning, looking extremely uncomfortable. Huo Xiaoxie pulled out a long tone, gritting her teeth and scolding: "Say...! You say...!"

  Qian's voice trembled as he said: "Fire is burning, fire is burning, small fires are burning slowly!"

  Huo Xiao Ye shouted again: "Speak clearly! Why burn like this?" Qian Zhanggui cried out in grief, as if his heart was being torn apart.

  "Because, because the walls of the pit are all flammable asphalt and pine oil. If you burn directly through it, it will catch fire. So, so, we can only use a small fire to slowly burn it. This hard wall is afraid of fire. You burn one layer, scrape off one layer, but don't let the wall catch fire. Just keep burning until it's almost penetrated, and then it'll be safe. One kick will open it up. Ancestor, ancestor, I've told you already, please let go, let go!"

  Huǒ Xiǎo Xiào said with a smile: "That's a good idea! Alright! I trust you!"

  Huǒ Xiǎo Yī yòu xiè xiè jiāo jiāo gàn le xiē shén me, zhè cái duì Shuǐ Yāo ér shuō dào: "Shuǐ Yāo ér, huí tóu ba! Hǎo le! Wèn chū lái le!"

  Shuiyao'er turned around and saw Huo Xiaoxie wiping his hands on his body with a smug expression, then patted himself. Qian Zhanggui was leaning against the wall, panting, his face as pale as death, his clothes disheveled, still looking like he had not recovered from the shock.

  "Monkey, what kind of method did you use?" asked Shui Yao'er.

  "Hah! This is my 'Hair Removal' technique! It's one of my specialties, Fire Xiaoxie's ultimate skill! Normally, no one can withstand more than three moves, but this old guy managed to hold on for over a dozen rounds. He's quite the unusual person! Haha!"

  "What's 'plucking hair' technique?" Water Demon Child still didn't understand.

  Huǒ Xiǎo Xié bái xiào yī shēng, shuō dào: "Shuǐ Yāo ér, nǐ yī gè gū niáng jiā jiā de, hái shì bù yào wèn le, shuō chū lái bù yǎ de hěn, nǐ dìng huì shuō wǒ liú máng. Fǎn zhèng wèn chū lái le, hē hē, rú guǒ tā gǎn xiàng shuō, wǒ zài shōu hùn tā."

  Qian Zhanggui's dull and mournful voice said: "You're simply not a human being... I admit it, I admit it, don't treat me like this again, I'll say anything, anything."

  The water demoness vaguely thought of what Huo Xiaoxie had done, and although her face was still covered with makeup, she couldn't see the blush, but her neck was completely red. The water demoness hurriedly avoided this topic and said: "Let's hurry up then."

  Huǒ Xiǎo Yī yìng le shēng hǎo, xìng chōng chōng de qù zhǔn bèi le.

  Translation: Huo Xiao Yi responded with a good voice and went to prepare excitedly.

  What is the so-called "plucking hair technique" of Huo Xiao Xie? Everyone, this matter Shui Yao Er can also guess, it's not convenient to explicitly state in the book. The word "Xie" in Huo Xiao Xie's name isn't because it sounds good, but because sometimes what he does is exactly that kind of evil.

  Huoxiao Zhe carried the oil lamp to the room with the pulley, picked up all the wooden objects such as the wooden handle and wooden stick in the corner of the wall, and took them back to the excavation site. Then, using Qian Zhanggui's flat-edged knife, he enlarged the exposed area at the bottom of the hole until it was large enough for a person to crawl out.

  Dimensions, found two flammable pine wood, poured lamp oil on it and ignited it. As expected, after burning for a while, the hard wall's fire-soaked area slowly softened, bubbled up, and emitted threads of blue and mixed-colored flames, making a slight crackling sound.

  Two pieces of pine wood burned for a while, and as the fire on the hard wall was about to get bigger, Huo Xiaoshuai used earth to extinguish all the flames. He took out his knife and went forward to scrape the wall. With a bit of force, the surface of the wall was like a layer of soft wax, and it was easily scraped off in one layer, but inside it was still very hard.

  The fire burned down the wall and then ignited the pine wood, continuing to burn the wall.

  It went on like this, back and forth without stopping. The asphalt in the pit was ignited too quickly by Huo Xiao's carelessness, so he had to be extremely cautious. After a good four or five hours of hard work, Huo Xiao was covered in soot from head to toe, and the wall surface that had been scraped off was piled up outside the "hole" as high as a small leg. With one more scrape, Huo Xiao felt the knife suddenly go soft, as if it had gone through. Overjoyed, Huo Xiao used his knife to poke again, and the entire blade went through without any obstruction. Turning his head, he called out in a low voice to Shui Yao'er: "It's through! It's through! Ah, finally, it's through!"

  Yan Jing Tian stared intently at the back window, and saw a knife poking out from the greasy 'hole' in the wall, probing around for an instant before retreating back inside. His heart couldn't help but feel great joy and secret admiration: "Good! Truly not simple, actually able to silently and effortlessly make a hole through such a hard wall!"

  Yan Shouzheng and others also noticed this scene, all with a 'hint' of joy on their faces. Yan Shouzheng hummed in a low voice: "Master Yan Tang, it's done! Let's go forward and help!"

  Yan Jing Tian's eyes were wide open as he gazed out the back window, saying in a low voice: "This has only opened up a small 'hole'! Let's wait for a moment, first confirm that it's indeed Water You and Huo Xiao Xie, those two! Wait until we're certain we can drill out at once, then we'll make our move, not too early!"

  The people patrolling the top of the pit with torches still walked slowly along the edge of the pit, without noticing any signs of huge changes at the bottom of the pit!

  The sky is whitening on the horizon, and a whole night has already passed...

  Huoxiao Ye got excited for a moment, but then calmed down. For him, it didn't mean he had succeeded yet. Although Huoxiao Ye seemed to be only doing some petty thefts in Fengtian City, he understood the saying "to fail at the last moment" very well. Sometimes when hope was within sight and seemed just a hand's reach away, it was actually the most dangerous moment in the entire plan. Huoxiao Ye had stolen someone's wallet and got caught red-handed by the owner, who happened to have an itchy butt and scratched it with one hand while holding onto Huoxiao Ye's neck with the other. Then came a good beating! The scars on Huoxiao Ye's face were left from that time.

  Huoxiao Yajing lowered his head, carefully examining the wall. Although it was indeed dug through, just as Yan Jingtian said, only a small "hole" was opened, and the walls around the small "hole" were still very thick. If he rashly called out to Yan Jingtian and the others to escape over, even if they all used their feet to kick together, it would be impossible to kick this "hole" into a size that could allow people to crawl through.

  Huo Xiao Ye used extreme caution, taking nearly 120,000th of a second to pick up a wooden stick that was burning bright red but had no flames. He then spent almost half an hour scraping the area around the small hole thin. Shui Yao Er also came over and helped Huo Xiao Ye scrape the hard wall until it was thin enough. Then, Shui Yao Er took out a sharp knife and slowly made holes in the four corners, each one easily piercing through. After making seven or eight holes, Shui Yao Er nodded to Huo Xiao Ye and said in a low voice, "You retreat, I'll call for Yan Da Ge and the others." Shui Yao Er stirred the oil, mud, and grime in the middle hole with his knife, using the back of the blade to block it, revealing a small opening.
