Chapter 302: Splitting the Mountain to Save the Girl (5)
Zheng Tianming looked at his watch and felt that he had been waiting for almost an hour, so he was in a hurry to let Gao Yang enter the cave. He wanted to find out if there were any missing girls in the cave.
"Okay, I'll call Director Sun, let's discuss it, and we'll go into the cave right away." Gao Yang saw that the mayor was very anxious, and he also wanted to enter the cave quickly! This cave has always been a piece of Gao Yang's heart, and now that he has finally found it, he actually wants to enter the cave faster!
After Gao Yang finished speaking, he came to Sun Donghai.
"Director Sun! Let's talk about it. Gao Yang looked at Sun Donghai and said.
"What's the matter?" Sun Donghai is still a little inexplicable.
"Let's go into the cave together and look for the missing girls! You go and call two policemen and get them to carry rifles as well. Wait a minute, let's go into the cave together. Gao Yang said his thoughts to Sun Donghai.
"Well, let's go in! Otherwise, bring Professor Chen and Professor Sun in! They're all experts in geography! If there is any danger in entering, they can analyze the situation! β
Sun Donghai knew that although he was a policeman, he didn't know anything about the geography of the cave, and it was best to bring two experts with him, so that he could solve some of the dangers he encountered!
"Well, I don't think it's necessary for the time being! This is not an ancient tomb, and we are not an archaeology, so why do you want them to go in! Besides, people may not be willing to do so! Gao Yang didn't want Professor Sun and Professor Chen to go in. Because, they are all old people, just in case. If you encounter some danger, you have to deal with it yourself. I have to protect them both!
"Hey, Gao Yang! They are experts in geography. If you come across some unknowable geographical danger in the cave, ask them! Sun Donghai still wanted to take the two professors with him, and he felt that he was relieved to take them.
"Okay, in that case, let's talk about it! It depends on what they mean. If they want to, then take them with us, and if they don't, then we have to go in ourselves. β
Gao Yang saw that Sun Donghai wanted to take those two old professors. He had no choice but to agree to invite others, but the key is their own willingness, if they don't want to, then they can't force others!
Sun Donghai listened to Gao Yang's words, and felt that he could only do this. Even if you are the director of the public security bureau, you can't force the old professor to go on an adventure with you!
The two of them said as they came to Professor Sun and Professor Chen.
Besides, these two are angry right now! Because, just now, they also heard the mayor's words.
Originally, when the mayor called them. It is said that it went to archaeology, and it is said that an ancient tomb was found in Wolong Mountain. Tomb robbers have already patronized it, and now our city government must send someone to excavate and protect this ancient tomb.
Then. The two professors listened, and then they were very happy, because. The two of them have always been interested in excavating ancient tombs. Keminghai City has not heard of it for a long time. There are ancient tombs there. Because this is the coastal zone, in ancient times. Not many people live here. Some dignitaries and dignitaries will not live here. So, this place for decades, unheard, where ancient tombs were dug up.
Today, the mayor said that an ancient tomb was found in Wolong Mountain, and the two professors were also very happy, so they wanted to come and see what dynasty this ancient tomb belonged to. I don't know what dynasty of dignitaries will live in Minghai!
But just now Zheng Tianming said that what he said to the villagers, the two of them also listened to it really. When the two of them heard it, the cave in front of them was not an ancient tomb, but the legendary Yellow Dragon Cave.
Now, the two of them were a little disappointed. They came for the tombs. Now this cave is not an ancient tomb, and it already feels a little fooled.
"Hey, why is the mayor like this! Why did he lie to us! It is said that an ancient tomb was discovered, but it turned out to be an ordinary cave! Professor Sun was already very angry, and he looked at Professor Chen beside him and counted down the mayor.
Professor Chen was also angry, and when he heard it, he was also full of complaints.
"Yes! Isn't that playing with us! Let us go all the way to this Wolong Mountain, and the result is to show us a cave! Really, what's the matter with the mayor, ignoring us old professors and experts!
Last time, he hosted a banquet for the elderly over 90 years old in Minghai City at the Minghai Hotel, saying that it was to show the municipal government's respect for the old people in Minghai City. But now, how does he respect old men like the two of us!
He even lied to us that an ancient tomb was found, which turned out to be a cave. Is this called respecting the elderly, is this clearly teasing the elderly! β
The more Professor Chen talked, the more angry he became. almost didn't walk up to Zheng Tianming to make him look ugly. "Hey, Lao Chen! I think it's probably because we're not old enough! We're all in our sixties, and we're still far from being ninety! It seems that the mayor of the country only respects the elderly over 90 years old! For those of us over 60 years old, we can be disrespectful! β
Professor Sun was also in front of Professor Chen, and continued to count Zheng Tianming. Of course, no matter what the two of them do, they can't do anything to the mayor, they can only complain. Don't dare to speak out loud yet. I'm afraid that Zheng Tianming will hear it!
But at this moment, Gao Yang and Sun Donghai walked over.
The two were whining though. But only the two of them know about it. Outsiders don't know, the people next to them just think that they are talking about this Yellow Dragon Cave!
Sun Donghai is like this, he also saw Professor Sun and Professor Chen muttering. But I don't know what people are talking about. He just thought that the two old experts must be talking about the Yellow Dragon Cave in front of him!
Sun Donghai was now in front of Professor Sun and Professor Chen, and he didn't pay attention to the faces of others. As soon as he came over, he said to Professor Chen, "Professor Chen, Professor Sun, are you talking about this Yellow Dragon Cave?" β
"Yesβyes! What's wrong. Professor Chen saw that it was Sun Donghai, and he said with a straight face. Of course, he can't directly sue Sun Donghai, they are very angry with the mayor now!
Gao Yang at this time. also followed Sun Donghai to the two professors.
Gao Yang is a person who is good at observing faces. He looked at Professor Chen and Professor Sun with gloomy faces. It's just that I'm not happy. When he thought about it again, it must be because of this incident in the Yellow Dragon Cave.
The mayor's words just now. Of course, Gao Yang also heard it. He now guessed that when the mayor called Professor Chen and Professor Sun to come to Wolong Mountain, he also said that he wanted to excavate the ancient tomb. Now people see that there is no ancient tomb here, just a cave, so that people have been on a trip in recent years, and of course they will be unhappy.
Gao Yang saw that the faces of these two lords were wrong, and he knew it. If you want to get people into a hole, it's impossible. Sun Donghai is here to touch the nail.
But Sun Donghai is also a public security chief, no matter what he wants to do, Gao Yang is not good at stopping others.
Now Professor Chen had a gloomy face and said a perfunctory word to Sun Donghai. But Sun Donghai still didn't react. Still uninteresting, he asked, "Are those two professors very interested in this Yellow Dragon Cave?" β
Professor Chen listened to Sun Donghai's words, sneered twice, then glanced at Professor Sun again, and said, "Yes! We're interested in this cave! What's wrong. Is there anything wrong with your Director Sun! β
When Sun Donghai heard Professor Chen say that he was very interested in this Yellow Dragon Cave. He quickly took the opportunity to say, "Would those two professors be willing to go into the cave with us to have a look?" If you're interested in this cave, come in with us!" Only when you get inside, can you learn more about this cave! β
Professor Chen and Professor Sun listened to Sun Donghai's words. The lungs almost blew up. It's just that Sun Donghai is also a public security chief, and the two of them can't get angry with Sun Donghai directly.
So Professor Chen and Professor Sun looked at each other again. Then, the two sneered twice. It was clearly to Sun Donghai. Very angry.
But Sun Donghai still didn't feel anything unusual, he still looked at Professor Chen. I want to get his support!
"Haha, I'm sorry, Director Sun, I'm not feeling well today! Maybe I had a cold yesterday. You see, Professor Sun and I are not too young. The body is not healthy, if you go into the cave, then hurry in!
When you get inside, you just have to remember what happened inside. When you come out, just tell the two of us about it. We don't have to go in ourselves. We are all old scholars, old experts, and senior intellectuals in Minghai City, and we are all rare talents! It is the rich and noble talent resources of our Minghai City! How can we go on an adventure! You young people have to do this! β
Professor Chen is not usually a talker. But today, he seems to have a lot to say. Because, today's incident made him very angry, not to mention that it is not happy.
Professor Chen's seemingly tepid words were like a sharp dagger stuck into Sun Donghai's body.
Now, no matter how stupid Sun Donghai is, he can hear what Professor Chen meant.
Now, it's Sun Donghai's turn to blow up. He never thought that this Professor Chen would say such a thing to him, isn't this obviously deliberately angry with him!
But Sun Donghai also knows that Professor Chen and Professor Sun are also people with status, they are both old scholars and experts, although he is a public security chief, he can't disrespect others! You can't be angry with others in person!
Sun Donghai listened to Professor Chen's words, which made Professor Chen's words choke for a long time. He just stared at Professor Chen in a daze and didn't say anything. But Sun Donghai had already begun to scold Professor Chen in his heart.
"Damn, you Professor Chen, what are you. Fuck it, old scholars and old experts! I think you're just a piece of shit. An old thing who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. I'm so old, I'm still afraid of death! We young people are not afraid, you are afraid of a bird! β
But Sun Donghai could only scold and relieve his anger in his heart, and he still pretended to be indifferent on his mouth and expression.
Sun Donghai paused now, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and pretended to be very generous and said, "Ah, what Professor Chen said is true! You are all old scholars and experts, and it is not easy for the country to train you! There may be some danger in this cave! If you go in and encounter any danger, and then die heroically, it will be a great loss to the country and the people!
If that's the case, then I'm sorry for the people and the government! Hey, you'd better stay here! Let me go on an adventure with Advisor Gao! We'll keep it all in mind. Wait a minute, we'll come out. I'll tell you what's going on inside! β
Sun Donghai's words sound very reasonable. But he was talking about how the second professor would go in. What dangers may be encountered, and there may be heroic sacrifices, and he especially said the word sacrifice very seriously.
This made Professor Chen and Professor Sun listen, and they both understood what was going on. But the two of them couldn't say anything. just looked at Sun Donghai with some anger.
Gao Yang saw that now Sun Donghai was just arguing with the two professors, which was a waste of time, so he came out to stop it.
"Director Sun, we're going into the cave, so you don't have to go in. You're all old. How can you go on an adventure! It's better for us young people to do it! Wait a minute, and we'll tell you what's going on inside. Gao Yang said as he pulled Sun Donghai and gave him a look.
Sun Donghai now had no choice but to leave Professor Chen and Professor Sun, and then came to the mayor with Gao Yang.
"Mayor, we're ready, can we go into the cave now!" Gao Yang had already discussed it with Sun Donghai, and now he came directly to the mayor.
Although Sun Donghai was a little unhappy in his heart, Professor Chen's words just now made him angry! But now that I'm in front of the mayor. Then he still pretended to be happy.
"Mayor, we're ready, just wait for your order, and we can go into the hole." Sun Donghai had already beckoned, and two policemen came to the mayor with a rifle each.
"Hey. Gao Yang! It's dark inside the cave, can you see it, or wait a minute. Go to the small shop in the village and buy a few flashlights. β
Zheng Tianming is a mayor after all, although he also wants Gao Yang and them to enter the cave faster. But you need to have lighting, too! Otherwise, after going in. What can you see? Since this cave is the legendary Yellow Dragon Cave, it must be very deep. At the entrance of the cave, you can see the inside with the help of the light from the outside. But when you get to the depths of the cave, how can you see what is going on inside?
Zheng Tianming is also a careful person, so he wants to prepare a few lighting equipment for Gao Yang! Gao Yang, in fact, also ignored this problem. He just thought that he had feng shui golden pupils, and he might be able to see objects in the dark.
But he forgot that Sun Donghai and they were all ordinary people, so how could they see things in the dark!
"Hmmm! The mayor has a point, it must be very dark in this cave, so let's go down the mountain and buy a few flashlights! As he spoke, Sun Dongshao took out a hundred yuan, handed it to a policeman beside him, and then told him that he should quickly run to Huangjia Village at the foot of the mountain and buy a few small flashlights in a small store.
The policeman took Sun Donghai's money and was about to go down the mountain.
At this time, Gao Yang called out to the policeman.
"Ah, brother, you don't have to buy it. It's better to use local materials! Gao Yang said as he walked up to a small pine tree, and 'Bang Bang!' Broke off a few branches.
Gao Yang took a few branches and returned to Sun Donghai and the mayor.
"Hey, Gao Yang, what's the use of these branches! It'll be over in a moment! How can you do it without a flashlight! Sun Donghai looked at the pine branch in Gao Yang's hand, of course he understood what Gao Yang was going to do.
"Yes! Gao Yang, what's the use of just using these pine branches! It's not like it burns out in a moment. Zheng Tianming also felt a little puzzled. I feel that there is no reason for Gao Yang to do this.
"Mayor, you don't understand this. We're now going into the caves. These branches must be used as torches!
First of all, there may be some poison gas in the cave. Although, we have opened this cave just now, and we have been waiting for more than an hour, the air inside may be almost the same as outside.
But if this cave is not too deep, it may have been replaced by the air inside and the outside for more than an hour. But if the cave is very deep, even if it is not enough for an hour, it will take a long time to replace the air in the entire cave.
Now the depth of this cave is unknown to us. Of course, it is safe to be within a certain distance from the entrance of the cave. But if you go further inside, it's hard to say.
Now if we just take a flashlight and go into a cave, it's more dangerous. Because, the flashlight is used as a light source, and it has nothing to do with air quality. Even if you go to a place where there is 'poisonous gas', you won't feel it.
But this pine branch is different. The pine branches are burned with air. If there is a problem with the air quality in the depths of the cave and there is not enough oxygen. The torch will go out on its own, and we will know that there is danger ahead. You can't go any further.
Also, this cave has been sealed all along. But it is inevitable that some wild beasts from the mountains will enter the cave. Yesterday, we found a small hole in the bushes in front of this mountain, and we thought it was a rabbit hole. But whether it's a rabbit hole or not, it's hard to say. If it were the cave of some powerful beast, then the cave we entered now would be considered to be in their lair.
But no matter what the beast is, it generally has one thing in common. That's the fear of fire. It's an instinct of the beasts.
The reason why the beasts are so afraid of fire may have a lot to do with the fact that the beasts have lived in the wild for thousands of years.
As you know, wild animals generally live in the mountains. On the mountain, there is usually a lot of vegetation. If there is vegetation, it is easy to cause fires.
Once there is a fire on a mountain, the consequences will be very severe, not only will the vegetation on the mountain be burned away, but even the animals living in it will also suffer.
It's not just ferocious beasts. Still weak herbivores, there is no animal that is not afraid of fire. When the flames raged and the plants were consumed by the fire, the animals scattered and fled.
It is because of this horrific scenario. Let the animals have a natural fear of fire. It is also a kind of animal instinct that is slowly formed.
Therefore, most explorers who go to the cave will carry torches into it. You don't just hold a power lighting device like a flashlight.
It is because of this that so. We don't need to have any flashlights now, it's more important to hold these pine branches. Not only can this thing illuminate, but if you encounter some unknowable beast. It is also possible to drive them away. It's safer that way. β
Gao Yang saw that the mayor and Sun Donghai still didn't understand what he did, so he had to patiently explain it again.
At this time, Zheng Tianming and Sun Donghai had nothing to say. Both of them nodded at Gao Yang, indicating that they agreed with Gao Yang's approach.
"Okay, just according to what Gao Yang said, now you can take the torch and go into the hole! This will both illuminate and drive away some unknowable beasts. Come, Gao Yang, I will light the torch for you. β
In order to show his concern for Gao Yang and their 'explorers', Zheng Tianming personally took out a lighter, and then lit the pine branch in Gao Yang's hand.
Pine branches are good to ignite due to the pine oil they contain in them. Zheng Tianming just used a lighter to easily ignite the pine branch in Gao Yang's hand.
Of course, the reason why these pine branches are so good to ignite is also because Gao Yang broke some dry pine branches, and of course they caught fire when they caught fire.
The reason why this mountain is prone to fire is that the mountain is usually planted with pine trees. These pine trees, because they secrete resin, are prone to catching fire. Not to mention dry branches, even if they are wet, they are easy to catch fire.
Zheng Tianming now lit Gao Yang's torch. Gao Yang used torches to light Sun Donghai and the two policemen's torches again.
At this time, everyone stood in front of the mayor together and listened to what the mayor had to say.
Zheng Tianming looked at everyone now, and he was really moved. After all, what they are doing now in Gaoyang is not a private adventure.
Private expeditions, all for gold and silver. What Gao Yang did was to save people and for the benefit of the people, so they ventured into the cave.
Zheng Tianming looked at Gao Yang and them now, and said with some excitement: "Comrades, I know that you may encounter some dangers when you enter the cave this time, but what you have to do is great and noble. You're on this adventure to save the missing girls. You are doing this as a heroic act. This time, if you can really find those missing girls in the cave, you are the heroes of Minghai City, and I will definitely give you a commendation and reward. β
Zheng Tianming was really excited, feeling that the few people standing in front of him were all soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield. (To be continued......)
