Chapter 2: Adventures in the Dead End (2)

Looking at the old beggar with his body on his back, Mingwen felt sour in his heart, and gave him all the cash on his body, but it was only three thousand yuan.

The old beggar took the money and said, "Go to Tae-dong, there are good things there." With that, he turned and walked away. When the text was read again, the old beggar disappeared without a trace.

Where is Taidong, but Mingwen doesn't know. He still had 5,000 yuan in his card, which was all his savings, because his usual salary was sent to his family. After crossing the bridge and walking about fifty meters, he came across a postal bank. He walked up to the ATM and withdrew a thousand dollars in cash. Then he transferred the remaining 4,000 yuan to his father's card, and called his parents again, saying that he had resigned from Lezhou Central Hospital and was going to work in Guangdong, and he would call them when the work was arranged. I hung up the phone, walked aimlessly on the street for about a kilometer, and found a small hotel to stay. After washing his face, he felt a little hungry, so he ate the instant noodles in the room and fell asleep without taking a bath. But he couldn't sleep, the scene in the hospital appeared in front of him, although Li Mingyan did not come forward, but the domineering aura of his assistant and lawyer and Liu Sanmazi's servile appearance made him desperate. All this swept away his vision of a better future. After a while, I remembered the words of the old beggar again. He decided to find someone tomorrow to ask where the Taidong was, anyway, life is hopeless, it is better to go into the cave to see, even if you die in it, it is providential.

After thinking about a lot of things, Mingwen still couldn't sleep, so he turned on the TV, and the news was playing on the TV, which happened to mention that an expedition team would go to a cave in Mulongzhai Village, Gaohuang County tomorrow, and this cave was called Taidong. He decided to go to Gaohuang County tomorrow and go to Taidong, but he didn't plan to go into the cave with the expedition. Of course, the best way to find Taidong smoothly is to follow the expedition.

At six o'clock the next day, he came to the bus station and bought a ticket to Liujia Town, Gaohuang County, and the departure time was seven o'clock. Then I bought some dry food and purified water as food after entering the cave, along with a flashlight and several pairs of batteries.

Arriving at Liujia Town at half past eight, he was lucky enough to stop a hitchhiker to Mulongzhai. When they arrived at the Mulongzhai Village Committee, they saw that the members of the expedition were gathering and ready to go. Some villagers followed. Mingwen also followed behind the crowd and set off on the villagers' hitchhikers. After a dirt road, we reached a place called Jinjiajie, and the road had come to an end, so everyone got out of the car and went into the jungle and followed a barely visible trail for about a kilometer. Then we arrived at Tae-dong. The entrance of the cave is about two zhang high, and the leader once again said the precautions for entering the cave, and then determined the number of people entering the cave. But Mingwen said that he was timid and didn't dare to enter the hole. For a stranger, he didn't want to enter the cave, and the expedition members and villagers didn't pay much attention to him.

After the expedition team and the villagers entered the cave, Mingwen quietly followed behind everyone. Under the reflection of the front lights, Mingwen saw that the space in the cave was very large, and the tall stalactites and other strange-shaped landscapes were very beautiful. He didn't realize that if this cave was developed, it would definitely become a tourist attraction. After about a kilometer of progress as the crowd walked, more than a dozen forks began to appear. The group was led by the expedition into one of the largest forks. And Mingwen entered the fork on the far right alone. After walking for about two hours, there were three more forks in front of him, Mingwen chose the fork on the far right, and walked forward for about two kilometers, Mingwen felt very tired, so he stopped to rest. He took a few sips of water and ate some dry food. I looked at the time on my phone, and it was already half-past thirteen. To conserve battery, he turned off the flashlight and immediately fell into darkness. In winter, the inside of the cave was much warmer than the outside, and he was already sweating a lot. Sitting in the hole where he couldn't see his fingers, he must have felt very scared in normal times, but now he has completely lost confidence in life, and there is no trace of fear. After sitting on the ground for about twenty minutes, Mingwen felt as if something was moving in front of him, and he turned on the flashlight, but saw nothing. He got up and walked on. After a while, he came to a wide cave hall, and he checked it, and it was about three acres square. On the right side of this cave hall there is a bottomless pool, the water of the pool exudes a trace of coldness, and the water inside seems to be extremely cold. As he continued to check, he heard a loud noise from the direction of the road from behind, and he followed the sound to find that the roof of the cave had collapsed, and the road was completely blocked.
