Chapter 237: Cave Search
The animal skin map was carried with him, and Xiao Xiong placed it on the long table, discussing with Nighthawk and Chibang how to proceed with the plan to find the location marked on the map.
Nighthawk's eyes stared at the map on the table, his worried eyes flashed, remembering what Xiao Xiong had just said, he frowned and said, "Big brother, if there is danger, we will go over like this, and there will be more and less luck." ”
"Yes," Chibang echoed, "Otherwise, Brother Nighthawk and I will first explore the path to see if there are any special clues, and then see how to find this gold." ”
Never doubting Nighthawk and Qibang's loyalty to him, Xiao Xiong hesitated slightly, and said with a calm expression: "Okay, just the two of you, leave early tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
……
The preliminary plan was formed, Nighthawk took the map, at six o'clock in the morning, the Accord car set off from the city on time, Qibang sat in the back seat, holding the printed detailed location map in his hand, and said to the Nighthawk who was driving with a thoughtful expression: "Brother Nighthawk, have you been to Daheng Mountain?"
"Nope. Nighthawk glanced at the electronic navigation map on the console, "It's hard to find on the map, we only know the general direction, let's talk about it when we get there." ”
After more than three hours of driving, the road was not close, and Nighthawk and Qibang drove to a small village and town according to the navigation tips.
Glancing at my phone, it was less than eleven o'clock, and I could overlook the whole village from the road, sparse low houses, and white smoke rising from the chimneys on the roofs of several houses, as if preparing breakfast.
In a quiet and peaceful setting, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a small lake to the east of the village, Nighthawk walked forward, trying to find a road that could be accessed by car, but was disappointed and the road was cut off here.
"Let's go down and see. Nighthawk suggested, and Kibang nodded, and followed Nighthawk off the road with a cigarette in his mouth, down the winding and rugged mountain path.
There was no imaginary mess of dirt in the village, there were dirt roads full of clean and potholes, and Nighthawk and Chibang healed from time to time, and before they knew it, they had come to a fork in the road in the village.
Two middle-aged peasants carrying hoes, just coming down from the mountain, their cloth shoes and trouser legs were covered with mud, Nighthawk walked over and greeted with a smile: "Brother, can you ask for directions?"
Qibang politely handed the cigarette to the two men to smoke, and the men did not refuse, one was of medium stature, the other was chubby, and they looked at each other, showing a simple and curious smile.
In their impression, because the village is extremely remote, it is rare for outsiders to come here, so it is a bit strange why two young people came here today to ask for directions.
"Which one are you looking for?" asked the slightly chubby man, smiling at Kibang and Nighthawk.
Qibang handed the map in his hand to the man, and said with a smile: "Big brother, let's not look for someone, let's find a place, can you help us take a look, do you know the place with the red circle on it?"
Nighthawk then said, "We don't know the road, the car is parked on the road above, and the car can't get in, so we came to ask for directions." ”
The fat man rubbed his chin, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and handed the map to the man next to him, "Yazi, look. ”
"I can't tell," the man said with an embarrassed face, "I'll take you up the mountain to find ......."
There was no other way, so Nighthawk and Chibang had to follow the two men along a mountain path diagonally ahead of them, straight up the mountain.
……
After learning from his father Feng Wujiang that Xiao Xiong had learned the exact location of the mysterious map, Feng Ruonan's curiosity was about to pop out, and he couldn't wait to find Xiao Xiong.
Xiao Xiong, who was sitting at home flipping through ancient books, suddenly felt a little ignorant of what to do in the face of Feng Ruonan's arrival, Feng Ruonan was straight to the point, dragging Xiao Xiong to get to the bottom of the matter, Xiao Xiong smiled bitterly, and told Feng Ruonan the process of Zhang Tao finding the exact location of the map.
"Then when are we going to find it?!" Feng Ruonan's eyes were full of joy, this was a bit of an adventure for her, and her heart was more of an expectation than worry.
Xiao Xiong shook his head and glared, and said coldly: "What are you going to do?" I asked the Nighthawk and them to explore the path first, and they should be almost back now." ”
"I'll go with you to find it!" Feng Ruonan pouted, I don't know when she was in front of Xiao Xiong, not the cold female president in the past, but a little woman who was easily emotional.
Xiao Xiong's face became more and more gloomy, and he said in a tone of refusal: "You stay honest, you don't need to go." ”
"No!" Feng Ruonan looked displeased and said indignantly, "This matter is not your Xiao Xiong's alone, it has something to do with my father and your father, I have to go!"
Unable to think of a good way to refuse, Xiao Xiong fell into silence, "Let's talk about it, wait for the Nighthawk to come back." ”
Nighthawk and Qibang had gained something from their trip, and they didn't rush back to Haicheng until late at night, and told Xiao Xiong everything they saw and found today.
"On the edge of a cliff, like a cave, but not quite like it, there were a lot of stones blocking the entrance, and we couldn't get in. Qibang recalls what he saw on the mountain today.
Xiao Xiong's suspicious face, Nighthawk then added: "I asked those two villagers, they haven't been to that place either, and they can't understand the map, but I vaguely feel that it is there, and there will be no mistake." ”
"So sure?" Xiao Xiong's tone was stunned.
"I've looked at the terrain around me in detail, and it's hard for ordinary people to get close to it, and it's best to hide things. Nighthawk explained.
"Okay, you go back first, I want to think about what to do. ”
According to Nighthawk and Qibang, it is obviously not feasible to open the entrance to that cave with human strength, so how can it be good? Xiao Xiong hesitated, and soon thought of a suitable candidate.
Xiao Xiong looked at the night sky, white smoke was billowing between his fingers, and a cigarette burned out unconsciously, he remembered the specialty of artillery, making explosives and firearms.
Early the next morning, Xiao Xiong found the artillery, and when he entered the house, he said, "Can you help?"
"What for?" "In the dilapidated house, the roof still showed some signs of rain, and every few moments of water fell from the roof, and the artillery sat on a chair with one leg slumped.
Xiao Xiong didn't hide it, and said with a calm expression: "I'm going to blow up a cave and need explosives." ”
"When?" the artillery questioned, undoubtedly agreeing to Xiao Xiong's request.
"The sooner the better. ”
The cannon walked into the room and brought out two large boxes under the bed, full of large and small objects, some of which Xiao Xiong had never even seen.
After taking out a few cylindrical shapes, after the black tape was entwined together, the artillery walked out and looked at Xiao Xiong coldly, "This is enough, take it." ”
"Can it work?" Xiao Xiong took the object in the artilleryman's hand, about twenty centimeters long and about ten centimeters in diameter, without a lead, and couldn't see what it was.
For a moment, Xiao Xiong's eyes noticed the special structure, there was a red electronic screen at the bottom of the bundle, about the size of a watch screen.
The artillery said with an expressionless expression: "It can be timed, no remote control is required, and the power is equivalent to five grenades." ”
There was a surprised expression on his face, Xiao Xiong was so shocked that he lost his voice, and it took a few seconds to slow down, and he took his things and left, "I'm leaving." ”
deliberately did not inform Feng Ruonan about this, Xiao Xiong found an off-road vehicle, and after picking up Nighthawk and Qibang, the three of them followed the route they went to last nighthawk, and the destination was Daheng Mountain.
After walking through, it seemed that he was familiar with the road, and when he arrived at the village he entered yesterday, Nighthawk walked in front to lead the way, Xiao Xiong and Qibang walked behind, and they couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.
The road up the mountain was muddy and slippery, but it could not stop the footsteps of the three people, and it took nearly two hours to reach the point where they were almost at the top of the mountain, the winding area between the two mountains, the strange terrain, surrounded by lush forests, suddenly appeared in front of a steep slope with wild grass and lush grass.
Pointing to an arched position on the slope, Nighthawk said, "That's it." ”
Observing the surrounding terrain, Xiao Xiong took out the map, carefully compared, and there was not much difference from the location determined on the map, thinking that maybe he was not wrong.
The three of them climbed the steep slope one after another, and when they arrived at the place where a large pile of boulders was piled up, Xiao Xiong's eyes looked left and right, "This is the entrance to the cave you are talking about?"
Qi Bang climbed to a higher place, and looked at the gentle slope behind the boulder pile, which was about a few dozen meters long, extending to the gap of another mountain, "Big brother, look. ”
Xiao Xiong climbed up and stepped on it a few times, the ground was solid, and the terrain looked like there was a lot of space inside.
"Okay, blow it up and you'll know if it's it. After Xiao Xiong put the bundle in his bag next to the boulder pile and set a thirty-second countdown, the three of them jumped down.
After hiding in the bushes dozens of meters away, the three of them looked at the hillside at the same time, holding their breath and waiting, and time seemed to slow down a lot bit by minute......
"Boom......!"
There was a loud sound that was about to puncture the eardrums, and the rocks flew in a mess, bringing up splashes of dirt, and the road under my feet was shaking violently, and the iron-gray smoke that rushed to the sky exploded in an instant.
When the smoke gradually cleared, Xiao Xiong's face was full of surprise, and he beckoned: "Look!"
Sure enough, there was a hole, and the three men rushed over, climbed up the steep slope, and looked into the cave, and it was so dark that there was no light at all.
After looking at each other, the three of them took out their mobile phones, turned on the bright light, and walked into the cave step by step......
In the cold and humid cave, he walked carefully, every step was extremely cautious, the more he went inside, the higher and uneven the road surface became, Nighthawk suddenly stopped, and grabbed Xiao Xiong and Qi Bang, "Do you smell it?"
The pungent and weird smell became heavier and heavier, and Qi Bang was stunned and said, "I'm a little dizzy......"
"It's been closed for too long, there's a lack of oxygen inside, so we'll go out first and come back in later. Nighthawk suggested.
"That's all there is to it. Xiao Xiong said and turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, "Go out." ”
