Chapter 366: Probing

After this reminder, Li Jingcai carefully examined it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause his body is close to the cliff, he can only see a little distance in front of him, but it is not easy to see the whole picture. Pull the rope tightly, bend one leg on the cliff wall a little harder, and use the force of this sudden stretch to make the body swing outward.

After doing this several times, I finally saw a depression about a foot high, and the depression was between the cliffs, and there was just enough place for a person to settle down.

Seeing the right direction, he climbed up two more feet, stood with his feet in the depression and looked at it carefully, and shouted, "Give me a knife!"

When the people above heard the sound, they hung a Mo knife with a rope and went down.

Li Jing used a knife to cut off the blades of grass in front of him, revealing a "wall" made of rocks. The stone is irregularly shaped, and the gaps between the stone and the stone are filled with moss and weeds over time.

Although Li Jing didn't know what the prince was going to do in this cave, it didn't hinder the joy in his heart that he had found it. He first found a stone that looked slightly smaller and pushed it in. When he found that he couldn't push it, he took a knife to clean up the debris in the gap, and when he pushed it again, it was easy to push the stone to the ground and fall into the hole.

Li Jing couldn't help but smile, and pulled the stones out one by one, so as to avoid the stones pushing into the hole and blocking the way.

Everyone was startled when they heard a muffled sound of "tom" in Yashan. Dugu Weiwei couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, Li Jing has fallen!"

The body involuntarily stepped forward, and was about to check, when he suddenly heard a second sound, and then Li Jing's answer below: "It's not Li Jing who fell, it's the stone that fell." ”

If you're still in the mood to laugh, then it's fine.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ke dragged Dugu Weiwei's hand and simply pulled her far away from the cliff. This curious, active girl can't do it if she doesn't pay attention to it for a while.

Li Jing opened the entrance of the cave to accommodate a single person, and because of the sudden flow of air, the smell inside came one after another, rotten, cool, and inexplicably unpleasant smell, choking him quickly held his breath and turned his back.

At this time, he remembered Dugu Weiwei's instructions, hurriedly took out the fire knife and flint, lit the torch, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and stretched out the torch into the hole with the other.

The torches were bright and dark at the entrance of the cave, and the flames flinched and made a slight noise, but they burned tenaciously at all.

After waiting for a while, the filth in the cave gradually became less and less thick, and he took the torch and went in.

The sun was shining outside, but the cave was as dark as night, and he took a torch to look inside, and found that it was not a very large space, and the shape was irregular, like a naturally formed cave, and there were many boxes piled up with shadows, all locked with brass locks.

Regarding the fact that there are treasures and heirlooms in this place, Dugu Weize, Wei Jiaju, Li Jing and others don't know. When they first went out of Beijing, they only thought they were really suppressing bandits, and it wasn't until they went to Eagle Peak that everyone realized that something was wrong.

These locks are not difficult for Li Jing to open, not to mention that over time, these locks have been crawling with green patina, and even if you take a key, you may not be able to open them.

But there are even some things he can't know, so he doesn't want to open them to see what is going on.

He stuck the torch in the crevice of the cave wall, went out and pulled the rope and called for someone to pull him up.

Li Jing described the situation in the cave, and Xiao Ke selected someone to go down and get the box up.

At this time, everyone still didn't know what was in the box, but it was definitely worth a lot of money if it could be hidden so tightly and let King Ning personally lead the troops to pick it up.

"After all, after decades, will the box be eaten by insects, or will it appear to be intact, but it has actually rotted? What if it falls apart in the process of hanging up?" Dugu Weiwei said.

Her concern was very reasonable, if the box was rotten, and it couldn't stand the bump halfway and scattered, the treasures in the box would all fall off the cliff.

This cliff is bottomless, who knows what is underneath and whether it can be recovered?

Everyone was full of tacit understanding, and they all looked at Li Jing, Li Jing scratched his head and smiled: "I didn't pay attention to whether the box was still strong." ”

In the eyes of everyone, he hurriedly said, "I'll go and see again." ”

After speaking, he pulled the rope and went down to check again, and after a while, he came up and said, "The box is made of sandalwood, and it is very strong." ”

It was past noon, and everyone was hungry. Ke then ordered a rest and meal, and avoided the fiercest sun at noon.

Of course, there was no hot meal, so everyone nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry food and rested in the shade of the mountain shadow.

At this time, the dry food brought by the march was a dumpling made of steamed and dried corn, which tasted dry and tasteless, where could Dugu Weiwei eat it?

Reaching out and taking it, I looked at it, and took a bite, which was worse than chewing wax.

I remember that in my previous life, my grandmother had talked more than once about the three years of natural disasters she experienced when she was young, when people were so hungry that they even ate white soil, and many people ate white soil to the stomach and could not digest it, and finally could only swell to death.

Thinking about that time, I looked at the corn dumplings in my hand again, took a bite hard, and then my mouth was full of hard residue, and I swallowed it and scratched my throat.

Straightening her neck and trying to swallow, a hand reached over and took the corn ball from her hand.

Xiao Ke stuffed the corn ball he had nibbled into his mouth and ate it in two bites, and then said, "Wait, I'll go up the mountain and get some prey for you to eat." ”

Dugu Wei didn't need to finish his only sentence, he had already put his clothes on his waist, turned around and used his hands and feet at the same time, and flew up the cliff next to him as sensitively as a big monkey.

Behind him, he quickly followed a few figures to protect.

Dugu Weize stuffed a kettle and said, "Drink some water." Oh, don't worry, brother hasn't used it yet. ”

Then he got up, said I'll go too, and climbed up as well. Thinking in my heart, this stinky boy is too good at pleasing girls, where is Leng Langjun, who is incomprehensible in people's mouths, and is clearly a middle and veteran.

With these two people taking the lead, the young and energetic men were not afraid of the heat, and went into the mountains to hunt.

After all, who wants to nibble on dry food with barbecue?

When the sun was turning westward and the heat was fading, the people who had eaten and drunk enough to rest began to work.

Dugu Weize took a few elites from the Dragon and Tiger Guards and volunteered to go down the cave.

As the first box of treasure was pulled up, the rope had been ground down by the solid stone of the cliff face. If you continue like this, pull a few more boxes, and the rope will be scrapped.

Dugu Weiwei thought of using pulleys to reduce the pressure and manpower of the rope, but he couldn't find suitable materials in this barren mountain and wilderness, so he thought that it would be better to prepare a few more ropes after spending that effort.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Xiao Ke instruct Wei Jiaju to take two people to the nearest town to prepare ropes, and mobilize more than twenty carriages to stand by at the foot of the mountain.
