Chapter 18: Wonders of the Cave

These two soldiers of Regiment Commander Zhao are very fond of him, like his own brothers. If he wants to make any important moves, he will be the first to think of them. His heart was so heartbroken and anxious about their disappearance that he was determined to probe the great rift and find the two brothers as much as he could.

Zhao Xiaochun and Wang Yueyue also had to follow Captain Zhao to see what was going on, Zhao Xiaochun was worried about his brother's safety, and Wang Yueyue was purely out of curiosity. The three of them carefully climbed the ancient vine and climbed down the ravine step by step, and the head of Zhao turned back to the two girls from time to time. After walking for more than two hours, the three of them went down to the foot of the mountain, at this time Wang Yueyue was already physically exhausted, and she sat on the ground and didn't want to get up, she regretted this adventure a little, and said: "Sister Xiaochun, I'll wait for you here, and when you return later, take me with you." "Then what's the matter, when we go far, maybe the wolves will come, your body is not enough for the wolves to stuff their teeth, hehe", Xiaochun immediately denied Yueyue's idea, in such an environment, it is much safer for the three of them to act together.

After a while, the three of them found the entrance to the cave, which had been covered by weeds and ancient vines, and it was impossible to find the entrance to the cave without careful searching. Aside from the ancient vines and weeds, you can hear the sound of "bang-la-la-la-la", the entrance of the cave is very small, only one person can get into, and it took three people more than ten minutes to enter the cave. At first glance, the cave is very spacious, and at its widest point, more than a dozen cars can drive side by side. Fortunately, the water in the cave is generally not deep, and only the foot board is missing in the shallowest part.

Go further in, there are holes in the holes, there are holes in the holes, and the caves are connected, like a labyrinth. The stalactites in the cave are in thousands of postures, some of them are like lotus flowers, and some are like Woxi golden toads. Directly south of the cave is a huge stone that resembles a big Buddha, which is the most distinctive. The stone is about 50 meters high and 20 meters wide, and the Buddha statue is lifelike and beautiful. Look around, there is a stone bar like a flyover, across the east and west, and then look at the near two walls of the cave smooth like condensation, there are stone tables, stone benches, stone pots at the foot of the cliff, there is spring water flowing out of the cliff hole, forming a small waterfall.

Wang Yueyue was dumbfounded, thinking that the trip was worthwhile, and when she was proud, she only heard Zhao Xiaochun's "ah" cry, and when the three pairs of eyes looked at it, they all gasped, and saw five white bones sitting or lying, and the skeletons all rolled to the side, as if they were in a meeting. Not far from the five white bones, there are two foreign-looking corpses, judging from the clothing, they may be Western scientists who have explored archaeology, the corpses have not decomposed, there is no painful expression on their faces, and it is estimated that they died in an instant. Wang Yueyue and Zhao Xiaochun couldn't help but tremble, and they no longer dared to take a step forward.

Regiment Commander Zhao was also a little hairy in his heart, but the strong desire to find his comrades-in-arms and brothers still drove his legs to move forward constantly. Turning a corner, there was a sudden light in the cave, looking up, a hazy sight of a line of sky, a few rays of white light directly shot at the bottom of the cave, like a sharp sword straight down, people instantly have a sense of awe. When his eyes followed the blade of the "sharp sword" to look down, he found that there were five or six corpses in the light and shadow. Zhao Xiaodong greeted Xiaochun and Yueyue behind him, and approached to take a closer look.

Some of the six bodies were lying on their stomachs, and some were lying on their backs. When I got closer, I could see that his two little warriors were among them, and the six corpses were all the clothes of the Fifth Army. Neither of the two little warriors had a very painful expression on their faces, and they probably fell heavily to the bottom of the cave before they had time to fear. At this time, Zhao Xiaochun and Wang Yueyue had already come back to their senses, after all, they had been training on the battlefield for a long time, and corpses were also commonplace for them.

The three of them stood silently for a while, and Captain Zhao proposed to return to the outside of the cave, find branches and hay, and cover all the corpses with branches and hay. Commander Zhao also placed the bodies of his two little warriors in a comfortable position, and his clothes were neatly pulled. Before leaving, Commander Zhao also saluted the corpse covered with hay. Before leaving the cave, Xiaochun said, "Yueyue, let's go find some hay branches and cover those white bones and the corpses of the two foreigners with hay branches, so that their souls can rest in peace." Wang Yueyue said "um", and Sister Xiaochun silently carried the hay.

After covering the branches, Zhao Xiaochun wanted to wash her hands in the pool, and just squatted down, she found a few bright coins in the pool, and she picked them up one by one while greeting Yueyue. Wang Yueyue walked over and looked at it and said, "That's a gold coin from the ancient Roman era, it's very valuable." The two of them counted a total of six, and they were golden. Zhao Xiaochun put the six gold coins into Yueyue's bag, and the three of them left the cave. Wang Yueyue also walked with her head down, if she usually found such a valuable gold coin, she would definitely talk non-stop.

The three of them were in a heavy mood, no one spoke, and walked along the foot of the mountain for about an hour, Wang Yueyue suddenly said excitedly: "There is a house in front, I see the smoke", Zhao Xiaochun followed Wang Yueyue's line of sight, and sure enough, a wisp of cooking smoke rose on the left hand.
