Chapter 31: Exploring the Cave
The echoing gunshots dissipated and stopped in the cave, but the side cave that Zhuo Fei found was silent and silent, and Zhuo Fei glanced at each other, Jin Dabiao suddenly raised his gun and fired a few shots at the table tennis in the cave. Zhuo Fei was ready to rush into the cave at any time, but was stopped by Jin Dabiao, the entire Niutou Mountain bandits' nest has been controlled by them, this guy hiding in the side hole has no way of escaping, this will not be guilty of putting his life on the line for a guy who is trying to escape.
Some of the guards had already taken a torch from the cave wall and threw it into the side cave, but the torch that was thrown into the cave was quickly extinguished by the guy hiding inside. Jin Dabiao, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of methods, was not angry, but let his grinning subordinates bring a large pile of firewood and grass from outside the cave and pour some water on the firewood and grass. After lighting the hay underneath, smoke came out and Jin Dabiao's men fanned their clothes and drilled into the side hole.
Zhuo Fei listened attentively, and soon there was a violent coughing sound in the dark side hole, and Zhuo Fei was happy when he heard the sound, it was obvious that the guy hiding inside was smoked. There was a continuous coughing sound in the side hole, and Zhuo Fei, who was leaning against the stone wall with his back, quickly judged the approximate location of the sound, and he was about to find an opportunity to fire into the hole, but the other party opened his mouth in the side hole. "Heroes outside, no matter who you are, shall we make a decision?" Zhuo Fei and his gang didn't make a sound, just waited quietly outside the cave, and the smoked rats relied on patience.
"Dang" made a crisp sound of metal hitting the ground, and Zhuo Fei and the others who were waiting outside the cave were stunned for a moment, and looked at the sound, only to see that on the ground not too far from the front of the cave on this side, there was a slender strip with a square cross-section, which actually emitted a faint yellow metallic luster under the illumination of the moonlight. Zhuo Fei also recognized what it was, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, if he guessed correctly, it should be a gold bar. "Ladies and gentlemen, raise your hands...... Let me live...... I, Mo Tianyong, should have a good reward......" The voice in the side cave continued.
If a gold bar suddenly appeared on the crowded street, it would definitely cause a fight or even a fight, but now it is in the bandits' nest in Niutou Mountain. Jin Dabiao and the others who saw this gold bar were all people who had seen some of the world, not to mention that they had just seen the property hidden by the bandits in the cave, so naturally they would not fight for this lonely today. "Less nonsense, come out and surrender yourself." Jin Dabiao didn't pay attention to the gold bar that fell at his feet, but just turned his face and shouted into the side hole.
Seeing that the gold bar he threw out failed to get the other party's relief, the guy in the side hole immediately stopped talking, but the coughing sound that tried to be forcibly suppressed did not stop. It turned out that Jin Dabiao and his subordinates' methods of smoking rats were first-class, and I don't know what Jin Dabiao's men had added to the pile of firewood, and a white smoke that was so spicy that it almost made Zhuo Fei burst into tears was slowly fanned into the side hole, and soon, Zhuo Fei saw the eye-catching bald head of the three bandit leaders appear at the entrance of the cave.
Before the three bandit masters who were smoked out of the side hole had time to pant evenly, they were dragged out of the side hole by Jin Dabiao's men and tied up, grabbed the collar of the gang and forced his head to rise, Zhuo Fei saw a face full of snot and tears and red and swollen eyes. Looking at this guy who was about to breathe, Zhuo Fei suddenly lost interest in asking, and didn't bother with the three masters who were begging hard, Zhuo Fei just picked up the revolver that was thrown out of the side hole by the other party first and looked at it carefully, and then he understood why he suffered its loss.
The third leader of the bandits used an American-made Colt revolver, according to the hint in Zhuo Fei's head, this revolver was much larger than the caliber of his Mauser box gun, so he would have broken through the "meat shield" just now and injured himself. Thinking of the dangerous moment just now, Zhuo Fei's forehead couldn't help but ooze beads of sweat, if the muzzle of the other party's gun was a little higher just now, maybe the part that was shot would not be his shoulder, but his head.
The firewood outside the side cave had been removed, but before the smoke in the side hole dissipated, Zhuo Fei, who only covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, had no way to enter the side hole to find out, because it was too choking. At this time, the gunfire outside the cave had already fallen silent, Zhuo Fei dragged out of the cave with some heavy steps, and several bandits and bandits' families who were not killed outside the cave were lining up to be escorted into a stone house by Jin Dabiao's men, and some guards were packing up all kinds of weapons left by the bandits.
Seeing Zhuo Fei coming out of the cave, Zhuo Yan, who was strictly ordered by Zhuo Fei to wait outside the cave, immediately greeted him with a big knife. "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Zhuo Fei with a red shoulder, Zhuo Yan asked angrily, and his eyes showed anger.
"Alright, the person who hurt me has been killed, and the body is in the cave." Zhuo Yan was about to enter the cave with a big knife, but Zhuo Fei smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him. Pulling Zhuo Yan to sit down on a stone slowly, Zhuo Fei handed over the revolver of the bandit three masters to Zhuo Yan. "What are you anxious about, I said it, the guy who hurt me has been killed, you go in and add some mess, honestly sit here with me, and take you in to find the money hidden by the bandits in a while."
was reprimanded by Zhuo Fei, but the simple-minded Zhuo Yan was not angry, but just kept playing with the revolver that Zhuo Fei handed him. Just like Jin Dabiao didn't dare to fully believe Zhuo Fei at all, in fact, Zhuo Fei couldn't trust Jin Dabiao and his gang, guessing that Zhuo Fei, who must have hidden the bandits' money and belongings in the hole on the side, would not give such an opportunity to Jin Dabiao and his gang to monopolize it. After sitting and resting for a while, Zhuo Fei endured the pain and tore the clothes on his left shoulder, twisted his face to look at the black-red blood scab, Zhuo Fei found that the injury on his shoulder was not very serious, but actually just a blood groove from the bullet.
After about ten minutes, Jin Dabiao, who was busy carrying his belongings from the cave, stopped what he was doing, and gathered outside the side cave where the smoke had dissipated together with Zhuo Fei. If during the day, Zhuo Fei defeated dozens of bandits with just one person, which only shocked Jin Dabiao and them, then Zhuo Fei's performance tonight has really convinced Jin Dabiao and his gang. Jin Dabiao and his gang consciously left the front position to Zhuo Fei, of course, Jin Dabiao was also afraid that if his subordinates entered the side hole, it would attract Zhuo Fei's anger.
Zhuo Fei was about to enter the cave with a torch, but was preempted by Zhuo Yan beside him, Zhuo Yan, who was tall and tall, drilled into the side hole, and at first he had to squat half-squat, but after walking out of the secret and bypassing a stone wall, he found that his eyes were instantly empty. "Nothing?" In disbelief, Zhuo Fei and Jin Dabiao hurriedly drilled into the side hole, only to find that what they saw was the same as what Zhuo Yan said, the side hole was empty, except for some broken stones, only a few broken porcelain bowls were seen.
"This can't be? When pigs fly. Jin Dabiao, who also speculated that this side hole was used by bandits to hide money, was unwilling to accept such a result, so he called in a subordinate from outside the cave and said to Zhuo Fei that this person was a good hand who was used to finding secret doors and side rooms. The method of the chicken and dog thieves is not on the table, but sometimes, this method or ability is exactly very effective, and the guard who was called into the side hole by Jin Dabiao just repeatedly hit the stone wall and the ground with the handle of the knife, and then he smiled very easily and used a short knife to pry up a stone from the ground.
With the first stone that can be pried, there will be a second, and in the blink of an eye, the guard called in by Jin Dabiao used the short knife in his hand to pry up three stones from the ground. Looking at the square hole that appeared on the ground, Zhuo Fei and Jin Dabiao glanced at each other, both of them saw from the eyes of the other party that they were eager to try, and they came to Niutou Mountain to suppress the bandits, since they found such a secret hole, it was impossible for Zhuo Fei and Jin Dabiao to turn a blind eye.
Throwing a torch into the cave first, the two found that the hole was not very deep, and there was a wooden ladder on the wall of the cave. Naturally, there is nothing to fight for in the order of entering the cave, Jin Dabiao's subordinates took the lead and slowly descended the wooden ladder in the cave, followed by Zhuo Fei and Jin Dabiao, but Zhuo Yan, who was very unwilling, was left by Zhuo Fei to guard the entrance of the cave.
The three of them climbed down the wooden ladder down the hole, Zhuo Fei found that the hole was gourd-shaped, and the further down they went, the more space there became, and the distance of only three or four meters down, there was another hole on the wall of the cave in front of them. This time, without the slightest hesitation, the three people holding torches immediately rushed in, and Zhuo Fei was still frowning his nose and sniffing indiscriminately when he entered the hole. Although it is underground, you don't feel the dampness, and the inside of the cave is dry and clean.
It is a very maddening thing to be able to walk in the hole with the cat on the waist, especially when Zhuo Fei and Jin Dabiao are still injured. But even so, Zhuo Fei and Jin Dabiao still didn't complain, because the more this happened, the more hot Liang Ran's heart became, maybe if he went down this tunnel, he would really find a place where the so-called bandits hid their treasures.
The three of them slowly moved along the cat's waist, and after rounding two bends in succession, they found that they could walk upright. When the three of them entered the stone room at the end of the cave, and when the three of them saw the contents inside, even Zhuo Fei from the later world couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. Secretly pinching his thighs to make sure that he was not in a dream, Zhuo Fei's heart couldn't help but feel bitter.
