It seemed to be a cellar used by farmers to store grain. The cellar was several meters deep and had been opened by Ban Ci. Lu Ye came to the entrance, peeked down, and immediately saw a small, dirty face.
The young girl looked about seven or eight, and who knows how long she had been hiding there. Her face was sallow, clearly showing signs of malnutrition over a recent period. If this place hadn't been meant for storing food, she might have starved to death long ago.
In the dim environment, only her eyes appeared somewhat bright.
The young girl curled up at the bottom of the cellar, looking up at Lu Ye, posing defensively, like a little beast provoked to anger.
Ban Ci came up beside Lu Ye, looking down: "I wanted to bring her up, but she didn't want to come and even kicked and punched me. I was afraid of hurting her, so I didn't use force."
