After returning to Su Xueling's side, Ye Ming said in an irrepressible excited tone: "Sister Ling, we are saved!" I found a way out of the upper reaches of the river, maybe I could get away from the killers. ”

Subsequently, he briefly told Su Xueling how he had just discovered a karst cave through the "skylight" and found the entrance to the cave by the waterhole.

Su Xueling heard that he had found a cave where he could escape, and his face showed an excited expression, and he was about to get up, but Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "You take a rest first, I have to demolish this single-plank bridge, at least it can slow down the pursuit of those killers and leave us enough time to escape." ”

Su Xueling asked, "Did Gong Pengju's people really catch up?" ”

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Just now I climbed a big rock to observe the path we came up on, and found that there are more than a dozen killers traveling halfway up the mountain, the speed is relatively fast, it is estimated that in another forty or fifty minutes, they can chase here." I'm tearing down the single-plank bridge now, and the bank on that side is too steep to cross. If they want to come after us, they will have to rebuild the bridge. But I don't think they would have thought of having a bridge here, so they wouldn't have brought any logging and bridge building tools, and it would have been very difficult and it would have taken a little time to build the bridge, and even if they had built it in the end, we would have gone far by then. ”

So saying, he walked to the side of the bridge, bent down and lifted one end of the bridge, then rotated 45 degrees to the left to volley the bridge into the air, and then let go of his hand, and the huge log immediately fell diagonally into the riverbed, and finally fell into the water with a big splash.

After destroying the single-plank bridge, Ye Ming simply picked up Su Xueling again and climbed more than a thousand meters along the gentle slope of the riverbed to the northwest to reach the waterhole below the waterfall.

After putting Su Xueling down, Ye Ming said thoughtfully: "Sister Ling, I have to go up and down that cliff for a few hundred meters to the northwest, leaving some stampede marks, so that those chasing killers mistakenly think that we have fled to the northwest of Boca Mountain, and they will keep chasing after us, and they will not expect us to escape from the waterhole." ”

Su Xueling asked a little suspiciously: "You can find that escape cave, can those killers also find it?" I'm a sprained foot now, and I'm a slow runner, and if they know there's such a cave, they'll probably catch up with us. ”

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "This is impossible. The reason why I discovered the cave just now is because I stood on the big rock, first saw the 'skylight' on the top of the cave, and then looked down from the skylight, and found that there was a dark river inside, so I speculated that this cave was connected with the upper reaches of the Dongta River, so I found this pool. Those killers hurriedly pursued us, and it was impossible for them to think that there was a cave at the bottom of this mountain, let alone to guess that the entrance to this cave was in this pool, so it was impossible for them to find our whereabouts. ”

After explaining, Ye Ming asked Su Xueling to wait by the waterhole for a while, and continued to walk a few hundred meters in the northwest direction, deliberately trampling those weeds and shrubs along the way, and then turned back the same way, and took Su Xueling to the waterhole lightly, and every few steps he turned around and helped the trampled weeds up, trying to restore their original state, so that those killers would not notice that they had gone down to the waterhole.

Then, Ye Ming took off his shoes and socks again and asked Su Xueling to hold them for him, and then he carried Su Xueling on his back, and came to the oblique hole embedded in the stone wall on the east side of the waterhole, first raised his legs and probed into the water to test the depth, and then cautiously stepped in and began to walk down a slope.

After walking for about two hundred meters, a cave hall suddenly opened up in front of two people. At the top of this hall, there is a circular opening, which is the "skylight" that Ye Ming just saw. Outside light shone in through a skylight, illuminating the stalactites inside the cave hall and some of the reefs on the river.

Ye Ming carried Su Xueling on his back and carefully descended to the cave hall, then put Su Xueling down, put on his shoes and socks, and helped Su Xueling to walk along the bank of the dark river to the southeast. After walking a few hundred meters, the cave fell into darkness again, Ye Ming asked Su Xueling to turn on her mobile phone and use the light emitted by the mobile phone screen to continue walking.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoqin's mobile phone battery is very durable, and Su Xueling just fully charged when she took it, so the mobile phone battery is still 30% now, as long as you save a little use, it is estimated that it should be no problem to get out of this cave......

After walking for about two kilometers, Ye Ming judged from the turning angle of the cave: this cave must have crossed the Silver Elephant Peak, and if you keep going forward, you can pass through the entire Silver Elephant Peak and reach the control area of Meilan Town or Xinguobang......

Because escape was in sight, Ye Ming and Su Xueling both felt full of strength, although Su Xueling was injured, but at this time Ye Ming's injuries had an effect, and the ankle was not so painful, with Ye Ming's support, the two of them walked very fast, only occasionally took a break halfway, and it took about three hours to reach the end of the cave.

At this time, it was already half past ten in the morning, Ye Ming took the lead in walking to the entrance of the cave, and looked outside, just as he expected, this was indeed a cliff. The water from the dark river forms a waterfall here, which pours into the Wensa River below, which is the largest river in the Golden Triangle and runs east-west, and the Dongta and Xita rivers are tributaries of this river.

The last time he inspected Shi Xin's furniture company, Ye Ming heard him introduce: The Wensa River originates in the western part of the country, and crosses more than half of the country from west to east, with many tributaries along the way. The river bypasses the northern part of the town and is the main source of water for the town.

So, he stood on the edge of the waterfall, raised his eyes and looked south, and sure enough, two kilometers or so to the south, some high-rise buildings appeared in shadows, which was what he saw from Shi Xin's lumberyard in Meilan Town.

At this point, Ye Ming concluded that he and Su Xueling had escaped. Now the place where he is standing is already the territory of Xinguobang, maybe near Shi Xin's lumberyard.

After judging the direction he was in, Ye Ming immediately moved his gaze to both sides of the waterfall, trying to find a way down. Soon, he noticed that on the left side of the waterfall there were several rattans, hanging all the way down to the surface of the Wensa River below. If these rattans are connected together, they should be able to bear the weight of themselves and Su Xueling.

So, he immediately grabbed the two rattans, pulled them a few times, felt that the rattans were very flexible and enduring, and he was even more relieved, turned to Su Xueling and said, "Sister Ling, you come to my back, wait a minute, you have to hold my neck firmly, and I will take you to climb the rattan from here." Don't be afraid, the strength in my hand is very strong, and I won't miss it. Besides, even if we miss, we will only fall into the river, I can swim, I can save you ashore. ”
