Chapter 473: The Cave House
Qiao Yanxue didn't say much, although she was a little embarrassed, she still let Xu Dong wrap it in a blanket and carry it on her back.
Xu Dong carried Qiao Yanxue on his back, looked back at the place where the two had stayed for more than ten days, and then kicked the yellow skin off the cliff.
After taking a few steps to the right, Qiao Yanxue obviously felt that Xu Dong's feet were a little lame, and couldn't help but lie on Xu Dong's back, and said softly: "Xu Dong, your feet are ......."
Xu Dong said "ah", and then said: "Don't speak, you let me be distracted, maybe the two of us will fall together." ”
Qiao Yanxue sighed, and really stopped making a sound.
I don't know if it's deliberate, or if it's really difficult to walk, Xu Dong carried Qiao Yanxue on his back, limped after limp, climbed up that steep slope, and walked very hard.
Qiao Yanxue felt very unbearable, and said softly: "Xu Dong, it's so difficult to go, you can let me down...... Otherwise, take a break and walk again......"
"Don't talk, I've got to do it, there's a harder one ahead." Xu Dong replied while walking with difficulty: "Also, I have to tell you that you are not allowed to look at the difficult road later, otherwise, the two of us will become a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate, but two of them are dead!" ”
"Who is the same fate as you...... Qiao Yanxue pouted on Xu Dong's back, and said angrily: "It is you and Sister Mu who want to be the same fate as the mandarin ducks...... And I don't want you to die......"
At this time, Xu Dong had already waded through the steep slope, and arrived at this section of the platform where the time was wide and sometimes narrow, and it was not far further to go forward, that was the gap, Xu Dong did not dare to continue to talk to Qiao Yanxue, gathered his good mind, carefully held on to the stone wall, and walked forward slowly.
At this moment, Qiao Yanxue also closed her eyes obediently, not to mention not saying much.
Since he has given his life to Xu Dong, what is there to say, besides, Qiao Yanxue also believes that Xu Dong can walk over, if he opens his eyes and sees a dangerous place, he can't help but remind Xu Dong, in this way, it is easy to distract Xu Dong, maybe he will really be a pair of dead mandarin ducks with the same fate.
Qiao Yanxue closed her eyes, and gradually felt that Xu Dong slowly began to gasp, and she also gradually felt the dangerous aura.
Thinking about it, Xu Dong has reached the most dangerous gap.
Qiao Yanxue didn't dare to open her eyes, and even her breathing was slow and long, mainly because she was afraid that it would affect Xu Dong.
After such a time, I don't know how long it took, I heard Xu Dong let out a long breath, and then said: "It's here, Miss Qiao, look at it, how spacious it is......"
Qiao Yanxue opened her eyes, turned her head to look around for a while, and said lightly: "This is our cave room......
"Ah......" Xu Dong was stunned.
"Cave room", in Xu Dong's mind, it is not an ordinary place, it is a place unique to newlyweds, Qiao Yanxue actually said that this is a cave house for two people!
Feeling Xu Dong's "shock", Qiao Yanxue hurriedly explained: "I mean, this place is a hole, and we live in front of the house, it is a 'cave house', don't think about it......"
Xu Dong let out a long breath, and then let go of Qiao Yanxue and said, "You guy, really, you wanted to 'elope' with me before, and now you have made a 'cave room', hehe...... It's enough to make people think, next, are we going to have a full house of children and grandchildren......"
Qiao Yanxue said angrily: "You laughed at me again, knowing that my Chinese is very bad......"
Xu Dong grinned and said, "Is this good, can you be worse?" ”
Qiao Yanxue no longer paid attention to Xu Dong's nonsense, looked at the cave for a while, but said, "Xu Dong, do you feel strange? ”
"What's weird?" Xu Dong still said with a smile.
"You see, there are indeed people living here, but it doesn't seem to have been there for long, right?"
Xu Dong nodded, this is not strange, as long as it is a normal person, who wants to live for a long time in this place where birds do not lay eggs.
Those who will live on this cliff for a period of time may not even be hunters, after all, there is no prey to hunt on this cliff at all, and those who can live in such a place can only be the people who collect medicine.
Qiao Yanxue shook her head: "If you come for that ginseng, the people who live here won't take such a long time at all, look closely, the ashes in the fire, and the flat bed, to say less, at least a year and a half, if you only live here for a short period of three or five days, there shouldn't be any need to do this, right, these, don't you think it's strange?" ”
As soon as Qiao Yanxue said this, Xu Dong was really a little strange, before, he really only thought that this place was only lived by the people who collected medicine, but now that he thinks about it, there are indeed a lot of unreasonable places.
However, in addition to being a person collecting medicine, who else is willing to live in this "cave house" on the cliff for a year and a half? Moreover, it wasn't for my own ginseng!
"Have you checked all the places?" Seeing that Xu Dong was also puzzled, Qiao Yanxue asked.
Xu Dong grabbed his hair, as soon as he found this place, he only had a rough overview of the situation here, and then immediately went to report to Qiao Yanxue happily, and then moved all his belongings over, and carefully surveyed this place, he really didn't have it.
Qiao Yanxue nodded: "Can you find a way to get some torches or something." ”
The outside of the cave is hazy, like a mist that does not disperse all year round, and you can see seven or eight meters away in the cave, which is already very good.
Xu Dong did not hesitate to take out two powerful flashlights, gave one to Qiao Yanxue, and took one for himself.
This time, Xu Dong prepared everything very well, and he prepared it alone, just the flashlight, there were several, not to mention the spare battery, after all, he was going to spend many nights in the primeval forest.
It's just that he lived in the forest for one night, used a flashlight, and then fell off the cliff, and then later, Xu Dong built a bunch of bonfires that were not extinguished day and night, and Xu Dong never used the flashlight again.
"You still have this ......" Qiao Yanxue took the flashlight, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, she knew that Xu Dong still had a powerful flashlight, and he could also send rescue signals!
Xu Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes: "The fog outside......"
Qiao Yanxue thought about it and was silent, the fog outside was indeed very thick, and it was estimated that the flashlight could not penetrate it, besides, if Mu Siqing and the others had already left, even if they took the flashlight to send a rescue signal, it would be in vain.
took the flashlight, Qiao Yanxue limped directly in front.
Xu Dong looked at Qiao Yanxue's back, sighed a few times for no reason, and limped behind.
The distance of seven or eight meters is only a few steps to the end, and sure enough, Xu Dong has not carefully checked it before, and there is still a mystery in this cave.
At the wall of the cave, which seemed to have reached the end, there was actually a huge stone, this stone was very strange and obscured the view, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't find that there was a gap next to this boulder that could make people go sideways.
What surprised Xu Dong the most was that this gap seemed to have been manually chiseled, and the sharp edges and corners on both sides of the gap had been eliminated one by one!
Qiao Yanxue didn't say a word, and directly went sideways into the gap, and Xu Dong naturally followed closely behind.
This gap is not long, it is only two or three meters away, out of this gap, the hole mouth is restored to the outside, two or three meters high, four or five meters wide!
Moreover, the ground was very flat, and the scattered rubble was piled up on both sides of the cave wall.
It's amazing how there is such a hole in this cliff!
Xu Dong and Qiao Yanxue couldn't imagine what kind of person this person would spend so much effort to repair a hole in the cliff? Moreover, judging from the amount of work inside, the owner of the cave outside has only been for a year and a half, which is obviously just an illusion.
But why is there such an illusion?
With all kinds of questions, Qiao Yanxue and Xu Dong walked forward slowly, and the more they got inside, the traces of artificial repair became more and more obvious, and even stone steps, stone bridges, and rotten railings appeared......
These things, though crudely made, are obviously impossible for a single person or even a person to die, that is, according to the amount of work here, hundreds of people must have lived here.
Who could this be?
Xu Dong just thought about such a question, and Qiao Yanxue immediately gave the answer: "There were bandits living here!" ”
"Bandit ......" Xu Dong was stunned, and then asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Qiao Yanxue turned around, looked at Xu Dong, and shone the flashlight at a place that looked like a fork hole.
It was a very shallow hole, and there were some wooden boxes in it, which looked like they were military, and the boxes were marked with some words, which were actually Japanese!
Suddenly, Xu Dong thought that many years ago, there was more than one force active in Changbai Mountain, of course, many of these forces were anti-Japanese and coalition fighters, and there were also real bandits, and there were dozens of these forces, hundreds, or even thousands.
In this way, it is not surprising that a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent to repair this hole.
Xu Dong thought so, but Qiao Yanxue limped forward and opened the military box printed in Japanese, but unfortunately, there was nothing in it.
Qiao Yanxue threw away the empty box and opened the second and third ...... There were five or six boxes in a stack, but there was nothing in them.
"Looks like ...... This is the arsenal of this group, but unfortunately, there is nothing left......" Qiao Yanxue muttered.
Xu Dong didn't think so, since there were a large number of people living here, there would definitely be a way out to the outside of the cave, of course, it would definitely not be the entrance of the cave outside.
That hole may be the back road left by these people, that is, it is the road that will only be taken as a last resort, and as for the usual walk, of course, it is a place where dozens of people can be dispatched at once.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be too inconvenient to get any supplies back.
