Chapter 102, Cave Passage
The green pines all over the mountains and fields, one by one are green and dripping green, and the pavilions are upward.
Because the wild boar meat tasted too strong, I didn't bring it, so after a simple meal of compressed biscuits at noon, I continued on the road.
All the way to the east, the deeper you go, the more lush the thickets, the vegetation is lush and vibrant.
Su Chen and Captain Lin walked side by side, wiped their faces speechlessly, and got rid of the cobwebs on their faces, which were sticky and very annoying.
"Beware of snakes, poisonous spiders, and whatever. Su Chen reminded, picked up the hunting knife and split the grass and branches, and opened a way.
"It's so cold in the mountains, there shouldn't be snakes. Bu Hui was not interested, wielding his hunting knife wildly.
"It's not winter yet. Captain Lin didn't look back and said coldly.
After that, he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and could faintly see a steep mountain peak. The mountain is not high, but it is thrilling, almost vertical!
"Huh?" Su Chen sighed lightly and raised his head, "It's raining." A little drizzle dropped on his face, and the coolness hit, and he couldn't help but wrap his thin clothes.
Captain Lin paused, "Strange, the weather forecast says that it is a few days of sunshine." ”
"The weather in the mountains is unpredictable. ”
The autumn rain is lingering, dripping. There was a lot of moss in the mountains, and in the vast rain and fog, the team walked cautiously with backpacks.
A gust of rain, a gust of wind, the rain fell on the withered yellow leaves, and swirled down with the leaves.
"Boss, it's getting heavier and heavier, let's find a place to hide. Captain Lin shook the raindrops off his face and said loudly.
Su Chen glanced at the almost vertical mountain tip in the distance and sighed, "Find a place." "It was raining so hard that I couldn't even see the road clearly.
It was getting darker and darker, and the clouds were rolling and "crackling".
"Boss, captain, there's a hole in here. Because the rain was too heavy, Zheng Yiming almost shouted out when he spoke.
For a moment, everyone looked in the direction where the hunting knife was pointing, and a cave hidden by dense foliage was faintly visible.
The cave was very dry, so I found some firewood near the entrance of the cave and lit it to keep warm. Su Chen kept rubbing his hands around the fire, hah, it was too cold outside.
"I don't know when the rain will end. Captain Lin shook his head, he thought it was a smooth trip before he came, but he didn't expect obstacles to follow.
The darkness of the cave was lit by firelight.
"Whew~, why isn't this fire hot. ”
"Is there less firewood, Bu Hui, you put more. ”
"Roll on, save a little bit, the firewood outside is wet. ”
"Not true. Su Chen frowned, isn't this just not hot, why do you still feel a little cool breeze, the wind direction outside is not like this.
"What's wrong, boss?" Captain Lin, who had been paying attention outside, turned his head.
Su Chen didn't answer, turned around and walked towards the deep cave, and took out a flashlight to illuminate the dark cave.
As you go inside, the tunnel begins to shrink and only allow one person to bend over, and it winds and turns.
After walking for a while, Su Chen's face became more and more happy, and he followed the person who came up from behind: "This hole is open, and the further you go in, the stronger the wind." ”
"Boss, you go back first, let our people explore the way. Captain Lin said cautiously, not knowing where the cave leads.
"It shouldn't be dangerous, maybe it's a natural cave that cuts through the mountains. ”
Among the mountains, there are countless caves, many of which pass directly through a mountain like tunnels.
"But. ”
"Don't be, you smell the air, mixed with the fresh smell of autumn rain. In this way, the cave will not be very deep. ”
I sniffed my nose, there was no peculiar smell, only the smell of autumn rain and mountain forests. ruled out the possibility of bats, and couldn't resist Su Chen, so he had to nod his head, "Then you go to the middle, I'll go ahead." ”
There are more than a dozen flashlights, and the tunnel is as bright as day.
Not long after, Captain Lin, who was in the lead, suddenly squatted down and picked up something wrapped in newspaper.
It immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, but the cave was too small to be surrounded by all.
Su Chen walked through the crowd, "What is this?"
"I don't know, I just picked it up. Captain Lin shook his head, the things in his hand were quite heavy.
Shredding the newspaper, inside is a delicate plastic box with the words "Imitation Military Crossbow".
"Looks like someone has stored it here. "If there is no crossbow in the stone, then it can only be left by man.
Su Chen opened the box by the way, his eyes lit up, and there was a delicate crossbow in the box, which glowed silver under the illumination of the flashlight. He took out his crossbow and played with it. The crossbow resembles a sniper rifle with a scope, slots for ammunition.
"Alas, boss, don't face anyone. Captain Lin pressed the arrow with his fingers, and cold sweat broke out. If you accidentally shoot out, there is still a chance that you will survive at close range.
"Huh. Bu Hui poked his head out and exclaimed, "This crossbow can't be taken down without tens of thousands." ”
"You know?" asked Su Chen, turning his head.
"Ahem, I guessed, guessed. Bu Hui lowered his head, his eyes dodged, and he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
"Don't pretend, just say it if you know. ”
Captain Lin's eyes widened, "Say it quickly." ”
"Okay, okay. Bu Hui shrank his neck, "But I can tell you in advance, I won't betray my friend." ”
"Hmm. Su Chen nodded calmly, "Said as he walked." ”
"I have a friend who specializes in selling this kind of imitation shotgun, imitation pistol. Among them were also crossbows, which were invincible hunting weapons. I've seen this kind of crossbow in him, but it's a little bit worse, only one or two thousand. Amazingly powerful at close range can shoot through the trunk of a small tree. The boss looks a lot better than him. At least tens of thousands. ”
"How could that person be willing to put it here. Su Chen was a little puzzled, tens of thousands of yuan of things were thrown around?
"Maybe it's because of the "Millennium Bird Road". Captain Lin said.
"Millennial Bird Road?"
"Well, in HN, Xijiang and other places, there is a "thousand-year-old bird road" that migratory birds must pass through on the central route to the south, which is the Luoxiao Mountains. Several counties along the route have a tradition of hunting since ancient times, and people believe that the blood and fresh meat of live birds can "replenish" the body, so the practice of bird hunting is prevalent. The large-scale killing of migratory birds in these areas has made the "thousand-year-old bird route" a "burial place" for migratory birds, and some villages kill more than 150 tons of migratory birds a year. ”
Captain Lin said regretfully.
"There are also many bird hunters in the two provinces who come to the mountains in their cars and guns to hunt birds. And shooting birds with a shotgun has become an 'aristocratic' entertainment. I suspect that this is some birder, who thinks that the mountains are remote and untouched, so they are stored here. "After all, the bustling metropolis is not as safe as this place.
"It's quite remote. ”
Just chatting with each other, a glimmer of light appeared in the cave ahead, and the sound of mountain rain could be heard.
