Chapter 14: Caving

"Zhao Jie, what's going on?" Guan Zixuan asked anxiously as soon as she saw me.

"Xiaojie, we heard last night that there was a village tyrant in this village who called himself the king, he didn't do anything to you, right?"

Uncle Wang pinched my shoulders with both hands and looked at it again.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I'm fine. ”

Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhao Jie, you haven't answered me yet, what's going on, why can you call them?

Guan Zixuan looked at me, and when she said about her eldest brother, she showed a smile, like a mockery, and like a surprise.

I'm also surprised that they actually call me big brother?

Should I call them naΓ―ve or should I call them insane?

Such a group of neurotics who have watched too many movies and a person who has been bullied to psychopathic since childhood can easily get rid of the whole village.

At first I thought it was incredible. But if you think about it, there must be a few of them who know a little bit of intrigues.

At least I look at the shoehorn face, and it's smart and cunning.

I even suspect that it was Chen Guozhu, who had a shoehorn face, who came to be the village tyrant in the first place, because Chen Guozhu had a gun.

The shoehorn couldn't beat Chen Guozhu in the face, and he wanted to borrow the gun in his hand to realize his desire to rule the village, so he asked him to be the king.

"Hey, what do you think? I don't answer your questions for a long time. ”

Guan Zixuan patted me on the shoulder vigorously and pulled my thoughts back.

"Oh, nothing!" I smiled.

I then explained to them what happened to me after I was brought in, including the story I had heard about Chen Guozhu.

During the conversation, I learned that they also heard a lot about Chen Guozhu last night, which is similar to my story, but in some places it is more detailed.

As I guessed, Chen Guozhu was maliciously targeted by many villagers, the most vicious of which were the two men in the dungeon.

They even carried Chen Guozhu's father behind his back and hung Chen Guozhu to a big tree for a day.

At first, they really hated Chen Guozhu, but later it evolved into a habit, as long as they saw him, they wanted to bully him.

Chen Guozhu is really a person with a tragic fate.

"Xiaojie, there is really you, this is a flickered to a leader's position!"

After talking for a few minutes, Uncle Wang patted me on the back and smiled.

"Uncle Wang, I just learned a little bit from you. I also patted Uncle Wang on the shoulder and replied.

"Uncle and nephew have a virtue. Guan Zixuan looked at us with her hands folded and smiled.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, Zixuan, I have a very important discovery!"

I collected my expression and looked at the two of them and said.

"Oh, what did you find?"

Uncle Wang and Guan Zixuan both looked at me curiously.

"There is a cave in this village, which is magical. ”

Then I told them all what I had heard about the cave, and they looked thoughtful.

"Zhao Jie, I think we have to go to this cave to have a look, maybe we can make some important discoveries!"

Guan Zixuan pondered for a while, then raised her head and said.

"That's what I mean!"

As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Uncle Wang, who nodded as well.

The three of them gathered and discussed, so there was no need to prepare anything else, and the cave was not deep, so we set off directly.

After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at the stonemason's house. Stonemasons do not live here.

After the outbreak of the insect infestation, Chen Guozhu gathered all the villagers in the middle and lower reaches of the village, and no one lived in the place at the head of the village.

Passing through the kitchen, there is a small door that leads to the back of the house.

I, Uncle Wang, and Guan Zixuan stood side by side, their eyes looking at the cave in front of them.

From the outside, it was an ordinary cave, and it didn't even have the mystery I imagined.

The cave can be seen at the end, and it is about 10 meters deep.

It's hard to imagine that such a cave actually made the army of bugs retreat!

I took a closer look at the surroundings of the cave, and there were several pine trees on top of it, and there was a clump of bamboo next to the pine trees.

There's nothing special about it.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look!" Guan Zixuan took the lead in walking, and Uncle Wang and I immediately followed.

After entering the cave, I don't know if it was because of the bad smell or because the temperature dropped, but I did feel a little dizzy.

The entire cave is about ten meters long and about three meters wide, and has a layer of white ash on the surface.

I touched the walls with my hand and found that the white ash on these surfaces was all fine crystals, in the form of granules.

I took a closer look and saw nothing special except for the white ash on the wall.

Could it be that these little white crystals are what scare bugs and poultry?

There's no way to stand here and think about it, I'm going to take some of the ash back, and then I'll see if the fire phosphorite is afraid of this thing.

"Zhao Jie, are you sure that's what the insects are afraid of?" Guan Zixuan obviously didn't believe my reasoning.

"Wouldn't you just know if you experimented with it?" I shook the bottle in my hand and smiled.

"Xiaojie, this place will make people dizzy, I'm afraid there is something weird, right?" Uncle Wang also doubted my judgment.

I've also thought about the question, why is it dizzy here?

But after looking at everything, I didn't find anything other than the white powder.

I suspected there was something underneath this cave, but we can't dig it up now, it's a big job.

Instead of wasting time now, we should first figure out what we found, and maybe it was the white powder that made us dizzy.

After careful discussion, we decided to go back and verify my suspicions first.

All I need to do is apply a little powder to my hands and walk out of the village to verify the effect of the white powder.

"Huh, why are you here?"

As soon as we walked out of the mason's door, we came across two "guards" armed with weapons.

I'm really not used to calling them guards, in my eyes they are just a bunch of gangsters, who happened to have the opportunity to become village tyrants, and even gave themselves a lot of loud titles.

"Our king asked me to take you over, he has something to explain!"

One of them, a thin man who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, said.

"What do you have to explain?"

"You'll find out when you go!"

He looked at me, and from time to time he took out his weapon and pointed it at me, as if he thought he was handsome.

"You're only eighteen years old, aren't you?

"It's your business, if you talk nonsense, I'll give you an arrow first!" the thin man immediately threatened loudly when he heard Guan Zixuan's words.

At this point we were walking in front, and I couldn't see the thin man's expression, but I knew that his expression was definitely not good-looking.

"Do you know how to use a crossbow, have you ever fired it, have you ever hit someone?"

Guan Zixuan turned her back and said to the thin man, and we also turned around with her.

I didn't stop Guan Zixuan. Through these conversations, I can observe the expressions of the other person and get to know them better.

The thin man's hands trembled when he heard her words, but in the end he didn't press the switch.

"Obviously have a conscience, but want to learn to be a bully, is it fun?" Guan Zixuan continued.

The thin man stopped talking at this time, but a tall man next to him interjected, telling us to go quickly and stop talking.

It can be seen that the essence of being thin is not bad, it is just going astray.

"Why did Chen Guozhu suddenly want to see me?" I asked the thin man after walking a few steps.

"It's not Chen Guozhu who wants to see you. ”

His answer surprised me.

"Didn't you say your king wanted to see me?" I continued.

"Chen Guozhu is no longer a king, we now have a new king!"
