Chapter Seventy-One: The Dai Five
Yang Lin and his party walked in the dark hole, the footsteps rattled and rattled, no one made a sound, more than a dozen soldiers walked in the front to explore the way, and a few soldiers stayed behind, responsible for the back of the hall.
The wind was blowing in the cave, echoing with whimpering sounds, the firelight flickering and swaying, everyone's nerves were tense, their attention was focused on the front, their eyes were flashing, and under the reflection of the flames, the light in their eyes seemed so bright and thorough. Like the sharp eyes of a falcon.
The crowd advanced slowly, moving slowly, carefully and cautiously watching their surroundings, watching their feet, and looking at the walls of the cave.
The quiet environment and the faint light make the cave full of weirdness, exuding a sense of tension and a depressive atmosphere, making everyone cheer up and dare not relax in the slightest.
Suddenly, the faint sound of "bell ~ bell ~" came, echoing around and lingering in everyone's ears. The expressions of the people were startled, their steps froze, and they looked ahead in some panic, hoping to find out what they could see from the vast darkness and discover the source of the sound.
The moment the voice sounded, everyone's heart seemed to be stuck in their throat, their heartbeat became extremely flat, and their breathing slowed down. Without a single command or an order from Yang Lin, the soldiers in front automatically divided into a few and slowly walked to the front, holding the bird gun with both hands, and putting one finger on the trigger to investigate.
The two parts of the centaurs slowly advanced one after the other, "Bell ~ Bell ~!" The voice was still echoing, rhythmic, in the dark hole, the atmosphere was particularly tense and weird, and the group was extremely nervous.
Gradually, fires began to appear at the front, and the two groups became more nervous and vigilant. Every inch of everyone's skin is tightened, and they are in a state of releasing their strength at any time. Yang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, looking straight ahead. Zhang San was trembling, his scalp was numb, his whole body was covered with white sweat, and he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead from time to time.
Step by step, the flames grew bigger and bigger, and the sound of bells became louder and louder, as if each sound represented a sledgehammer, beating everyone's hearts.
When the size of the firelight group remained the same, and the intensity of the sound did not change, several human-like shadows appeared near the firelight group, waving their hands, as if forging iron.
At this time, those people stopped moving, and one of them shouted at Yang Lin's side, "Who? Mountain Eagle, is that you? ”
Hearing this voice, knowing that it was a person, without Yang Lin's orders, the part of the soldiers in front of him approached quickly, and in a few seconds, the calcium carbide fire reached the side of those people, and the bird gun shouted at a few people: "Don't move, otherwise you will shoot!" ”
Several people looked at the soldiers who suddenly appeared in a daze, looking dazed, and one of the middle-aged people was the first to react, urging urgently: "Don't move, what they have in their hands is a bird gun!" ”
The middle-aged man's words immediately made several people nervous, and their faces turned to look full of fear, standing there motionless, and the iron tools in their hands were thrown on the ground, looking at the soldiers in horror. Obviously, the few people who strike iron in the dark know and know the birds, and this is the only reason why these people are not simple, and their origins are very good.
At this time, Yang Lin had already come to the front, and with the help of the dim firelight, he looked over and stared at a few people.
I saw a total of ten people, two middle-aged men in their forties, and the others were all young people in their twenties, all of them looked like blacksmiths, because they had been working for a long time and were near the stove, their faces were red and their bodies were strong.
Yang Lin looked at the ten people for a moment and asked softly, "Who are you?" Why is it here? What are you forging? ”
It was still the middle-aged man who asked with some suspicion: "You are not from Shanying, who are you?" Where is the mountain eagle? ”
The middle-aged man's question made Yang Lin want to laugh unconsciously, the middle-aged man couldn't figure out the current situation. Yang Lin pointed to the bird guns in the hands of the soldiers around him, and said in a somewhat gloomy voice: "Hey, I said you didn't understand the situation, but now you are fish and meat, and I am a sword, you ask me, do you feel appropriate?" ”
The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly darkened, his attitude softened, and he said resignedly: "You're right, it's really not appropriate, we people are just prisoners of each step, what qualifications do you have to ask?" ”
Then, the middle-aged man showed a helpless expression, slowly pointed to a few people, and introduced: "My name is Dai Li, he is my brother Dai De, this is my son Dai Fang, this is my two nephews, that is, my brother's sons Dai Xiao and Dai Han, and the other five people are people sent by the mountain eagle to assist and monitor our forging." ”
When Yang Lin heard that the five people were all surnamed Dai, his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help asking, "What?" Could it be that you are the descendants of Dai Zi, the descendants of Dai Zi, who invented Lianzhu? ”
The middle-aged man named Dai Li looked surprised, and subconsciously asked in surprise, "How do you know about the ancestor?" How could you guess that we are his descendants? ”
The other four people surnamed Dai also looked surprised, and looked at Yang Lin in confusion, all of them were vigilant, and they were affectionately and nervously guarding against Yang Lin.
Yang Lin didn't answer immediately, answering their doubts. Instead, he waved his hand around, signaling the soldier to put away the bird gun in his hand and release goodwill. The tension in the air that had just exploded suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a little light.
Putting down his raised hands, Yang Lin released a wave of kindness all over his body, and said calmly: "Oh, I know about your existence from the letterhead and drawings left by Shanying about Lianzhu Gong, and I learned that Ling ancestor Dai Zi invented Lianzhu Gong that can be launched in a chain. I know that you have been secretly making beads for the mountain eagle, but I didn't expect you to be in the dark cave. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Lin suddenly showed excitement on his face, and asked a little impatiently: "By the way, how did you make Lianzhu Gong?" ”
Dai Li saw Yang Lin with a look of impatience, of course he knew that Yang Lin was paying attention to Lianzhu, but he said with an indifferent face: "No, they are all there, and after making them for so long, they have puffed up these parts, and they haven't made a single Lianzhu gun, which is really insulting to the prestige of the ancestors~!" ”
Then, the other four people surnamed Dai showed shame on their faces, and felt very embarrassed for a while, so they couldn't help but bow their heads, and no one said anything more.
Yang Lin walked to the side of those parts, looked at them a few times, fiddled with them a few times, and found that they were all extremely rough, and they could not be used to make Lianzhu guns at all.
Yang Lin showed a look of disappointment, but still said with a strong spirit: "Okay, let's not talk about it here, let's go out first, and then talk about how you were captured by the mountain eagle and locked up in this dark cave." ”
The five of them listened to Yang Lin's proposal, but they were helpless. Moreover, the ten people wished they could get out early and stay away from this dark cave. When they were about to leave, the five people surnamed Dai suddenly stopped, and tacitly walked towards those parts, wanting to take them out, after all, those things were forged by their hard work for months.
Yang Lin waved his hand to stop the soldiers, reacting to the actions of the five. Then, everyone walked out of the cave, the atmosphere was no longer weird, but it was full of urgency, as if everyone didn't want to stay in this black hole for a second longer and go out early.
Therefore, it takes much less time for the crowd to come out than it does to go in. After everyone came out of the cave, the five men surnamed Dai and the five men of Shanying all closed their eyes tightly, and each of them was supported by a soldier, and walked towards the attic.
Obviously, this is due to being in the dark for a long time and rarely seeing sunlight, which causes the eyes to be uncomfortable and not adapted to the sunlight outside.
Under the leadership of Yang Lin, everyone came to an empty attic, and stayed there either standing or sitting. After the five of them got used to the light and slowly opened their eyes, Yang Lin asked, "Now let's talk about it, tell me about your situation in detail, what's going on?" Let me know and see how to deal with and arrange you? ”
