Chapter 072: Unexpected
The two of them walked silently towards the cave next to the waterfall along the flowers on the edge of the canyon, and they were now in the direction of three o'clock in the center of the canyon basin, and next to the waterfall at twelve o'clock, they had to walk a quarter of the circumference of the entire canyon basin, about two hundred and fifty meters of curved distance.
Fortunately, the edges were half-human-high flowers, but it was also convenient to hide the traces, and the two of them unconsciously arrived ten meters away near the cave, at this time, the huge sound of the waterfall rushing down was deafening to the ears of the two.
"How? Can you still hear the voice? Jiang Wen'er asked softly.
Mo Jiu shook his head: "I can't hear it, it should be that the other party has stopped talking."
"So what do we do next?"
Mo Jiujiu thought for a while, took off his mountaineering bag from his back, took out a dagger from it, and then put the mountaineering bag beside Jiang Wen'er: "You stay here and keep watch for me, I'll go over to investigate the situation."
"Then you pay attention to safety", Jiang Wen'er nodded obediently, without the slightest objection. Mo Jiujiu said that she was asked to be sentry, but she was actually afraid that she would be in danger, which was clear in her heart, but she didn't want to refuse Mo Jiujiu's kindness anyway, besides, she had promised him before setting off that she would listen to him in all actions, so Jiang Wen'er simply accepted it gladly.
Mo Jiu smiled at Jiang Wen'er with praise, then hid the dagger, and felt the entrance of the cave with his body.
The entrance of the cave is not big, you have to bend your body to enter, Mo Nineteen hid on the side of the cave entrance, listened carefully to the movement in the cave, and faintly, there seemed to be a sound of talking in the cave again.
The place where the sound came from was still some distance away from the entrance of the cave, and Mo Jiu was sure that there was no one near the entrance of the cave, so he pulled out his dagger, bowed his body, and walked into the cave on full alert.
Inside the cave is a half-man-high straight passage, the terrain is flat, there is no slope, and the light is not too dark.
After going straight for about five or six meters, there was a 90° bend to the left, Mo Shijiu leaned his body against the cave wall on the inside of the bend, and went out to take a look at it slightly, the light of the passage on the other side of the bend was slightly darker, but at the end of the passage, it seemed to be connected to a natural karst cave, and the light in the cave was bright.
Judging by the length and direction of the passage, the location of the cave should be just on the other side of the Zihe Waterfall, and the voice of the voice came from the natural karst cave on the opposite side, Mo Shijiu aimed at the connection between the passage and the karst cave, and quickly moved his side to the cave wall on the outside of the bend, and cautiously touched the natural karst cave on the opposite side.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the voice of the voice inside was already very obvious, Mo Jiu prostrate himself, tried his best to hide his whole body in the relatively dimly lit area of the passage, and then looked quietly.
Fortunately, the terrain of the passage is about two meters higher than the cave, so Mo Shijiu's field of vision is very wide, and he can basically take in the scene in the cave without being discovered by the people inside.
The cave is about 100 square meters, with plenty of light, complete tables and chairs, all kinds of tools on it, and a large number of bags that I don't know what they contain.
Four unkempt, dark, skinny men were sitting around a table in the middle, playing poker.
Mo Jiu was wondering in his heart, and one of the small-eyed men suddenly said to the other three men: "Alas, when do you say the boss will let us start?" We've been here for more than ten days, but the boss hasn't sent anyone to inform us."
The man on the left hand side was open-mouthed, and at this moment he took over the conversation and said indifferently: "Whatever, anyway, we have food and drink here, and if we don't work, we will be idle."
The man on the right hand side had a grass stalk in his mouth, and immediately shook his head and said, "You can't say that, after all, it's not a problem to stay like this without getting paid."
The small-eyed man nodded: "I think so."
At this time, the man opposite the little eye spoke: "Hasn't the boss's Du Pin business encountered some trouble recently, and it takes time to deal with these troubles, and we don't have to be too anxious, just wait for the news honestly."
The other three men nodded.
At this time, Mo Jiujiu, who was hiding in the passage, suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is a Du Pin processing factory, but I don't know if the people of the donkey friend group were kidnapped by them."
Mo Shijiu carefully looked at the cave again, and the situation in the cave was clear at a glance, and there was no trace of the donkey friend group.
"It's strange, there's no sign here, wasn't the group kidnapped by them? Or has they already moved away? ”
Mo Nineteen thought about it and had no clue, so he was ready to withdraw first and discuss it with Jiang Wen'er, but at this time, the small-eyed man spoke again, and Mo Nineteen's body that had just prepared fell down again.
"You say we should go out a few more times when we're fine, or we won't even know that there are people in the valley like a few days ago."
The open-mouthed man on the left waved his hand, with a disapproving expression: "Go around, it doesn't matter if he comes or not, as long as he doesn't enter the cave, what does it have to do with us?" ”
The man on the other side of the little eye nodded and took over the conversation: "Yes, we just need to guard the cave, and don't worry about the rest."
The small-eyed man was a little helpless: "Okay, it's all up to you."
But then he changed his words and said: "But until now, I haven't figured out why there are traces of a fight in the place where those people lived, and in this valley, there is no one else except the four of us, could it be that their own people have a conflict, or have they encountered some large beast?" ”
The man with the grass stalk in his mouth shook his head: "Come on, where did some big beast come from here, if anything, we have been here for so long, I'm afraid we would have met it a long time ago."
The small-eyed man nodded: "So I think it should be their own people who have a conflict."
At this time, the open-mouthed man spat on the ground, and said impatiently: "I said why do you talk so much nonsense, other people's affairs, why do you care so much?" Hurry up and play your cards".
The other three people hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, don't say it, hurry up and play the cards."
The conversation between the four of them, listening to Mo Nineteen's ears, immediately eliminated the original doubts in his heart, but added more incomprehensible doubts.
"Listen to them, it's strange that they didn't kidnap the group, and they don't even seem to know about it."
The four of them began to play cards again, and Mo Nineteen knew that he could not get any useful information from them, so he quietly got up and slowly exited the cave along the passage.
