"Kill," Li Erhei's team on the slope and Shi Suo Dafeng and the others had already converged together, chasing the remaining bandits into a corner. The two women at the cliff were Jiang Yuniang and Li Mei, Li Mei giggled and said, "Aunt Jiang, this is like chasing a hare." ”

"Tell them that those who surrender will not die."

Li Mei rolled her hands into a trumpet shape and shouted, "Those who surrender will not die." ”

Shi Suo and the others also shouted, "Surrender and avoid death." Some bandits heard it, knelt down and surrendered, some were dizzy, and they were still resisting, Li Erhei's subordinate Zhang Xiaoliu and others had been poisoned, hated these bandits for being vicious, and killed a few like chopping melons and vegetables, Jiang Yuniang hurriedly stopped, "Lao Li, don't kill indiscriminately." ”

Li Erhei suddenly woke up, drank his men, and everyone captured the remaining bandits, and the battle ended quickly.

"Hurry up and chase Tong Ce." Zhang Xiaoliu said, everyone followed him and ran to the back of the boulder at the top of the slope, the suspicious stone still did not move, but everyone already knew that there must be a secret way, Dafeng stepped forward and kicked it, and couldn't help but "ouch", the foot hurt and hurt, but the stone didn't move at all. Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The calf brought a captive, put the knife around his neck, and asked, "Okay, answer honestly, where is the tunnel here?" ”

"Right here," the captive said, pointing to the wall below the boulder, "that crack, see?" That is the stone door, but if it is blocked from the inside, it cannot be pushed open from the outside, and it can only be opened from the inside. ”

Stone Lock walked uphill, carrying a cloth bag on his back, and said to everyone, "Get out of the way, I'll order a bomb." ”

He walked to the rock wall behind the boulder, took out a few bombs from the cloth bag, Jiang Yu Niang instructed everyone to retreat, and then together with Da Feng and Xiao Niu, tied the bombs to the stone crack, connected the fuses together, and after it was done, Jiang Yu Niang checked it again. Then he said, "Fried." ”

The stone lock lit the fuse, and then quickly ran away, hiding behind the rocks, and after a few seconds. "Boom, boom," there were several loud bangs, smoke rising and rubble bursting wildly. The smell of gunpowder smoke spreads.

After the explosion, everyone gathered around, only to see that on the stone wall under the boulder, a stone with a large door leaf was blown up, revealing a gap half a foot wide, and it can be seen that there is indeed a hole inside. Li Erhei and Shi Suo worked together to move the door leaf stone stuck at the entrance of the cave a little, but it was still difficult to squeeze in, and if he wanted to move it again, he couldn't move it a bit.

Shi Suo shook his head and said a little strangely: "This blocking stone is so heavy, how did Tong Ce move it?" ”

Li Erhei pointed to the black hole in the gap and said, "There must be a mechanism inside, although the stone is heavy, but if there is a shaft to follow." It is not too strenuous to rotate, and it is stuck from the inside, and no matter how strong the outside is, it cannot be opened. We'd better go inside and take a look. ”

"I can't get in."

Li Mei walked over, flattened her body, and squeezed into the hole, Jiang Yuniang said, "Be careful." ”

"It's okay," Li Mei said, her body already in the hole. She first looked around, the hole was a passage, black and no one was visible, then carefully observed the boulder blocking the door, sure enough, as Li Erhei said, there was another black stone stuck behind the stone, blocking the rotation of the boulder, she pushed twice, probably because the explosion blew the stone crooked, did not push, then probe to the cave and said: "Stone lock, throw a rope." ”

A rope was thrown in, Li Mei tied the stuck stone with a rope, threw the head of the rope out, and asked Zhang Xiaoliu to hand the three-section stick in, stuff it into the crack of the stone, and then shouted: "Hard." ”

The stone lock outside and Dafeng and others pulled the rope hard, Li Mei used a three-piece stick to pry inside, the black stone was removed, Li Erhei turned the big stone, and sure enough, the stone turned half a circle, it turned out that there was a shaft below, except for the mechanism, it was not difficult to move.

Everyone wanted to go into the hole, and Jiang Yuniang said, "Come slowly." She assigned a few team members to wait at the entrance of the cave and on the hillside, then selected about 20 people, prepared torches with branches, arranged the order, formed a team, assigned each team leader, and finally let everyone enter the cave in turn.

Shi Suo and Dafeng have experience in caving, walking in front with torches, passing the passage, and finding that this is also a karst cave extending in all directions, Jiang Yuniang is thoughtful, every time she goes through a detour and forks, she assigns someone to make a mark, several teams, separate to explore different paths, because the division of labor is clear, echoing each other, after a while, everyone is not lost, but there is no figure of Tong Ce and others who escaped.

"This hole won't lead to Tongjiazhai, right?" The calf said suspiciously.

Li Erhei said: "It shouldn't be, this place is ten miles away from Tongjiazhai, there are ten miles of road, although some underground karst caves are very large, but as far as I know, around Tongjiazhai, there are several ravines, there is water in the ditch, the location of the village is quite high, and the possibility of the karst cave below is not large." ”

Underground, there are some messy footprints from time to time, as well as discarded wooden sticks, burning torches and other things, some are still smoking, obviously someone has just passed by, these traces, but to provide everyone with the direction of pursuit, reduce a lot of time to explore the way.

"There's a painting here." One of the team members shouted.

On the wall of the cave, there are colorful pictures, most of the colors have peeled off, but you can vaguely see the content of the painting, several characters in ancient costumes, some hold pot-shaped utensils, some play folding fans, different expressions, Shi Suo with his own experience, as an expert said: "This is nothing unusual, this is the old man, tens of thousands of years ago, when people were still monkeys, lived here, at that time, people lived in caves. ”

The calf said suspiciously: "Isn't it, tens of thousands of years ago, when people were still monkeys, did they play fans?" He pointed to a lady-like figure with a fan on the picture.

"Hahaha," the others laughed.

Jiang Yuniang smiled: "Shi Suo, you are wrong, these murals are not from ancient times, they should be things from which dynasty, I think, we seem to have walked into the ancient tomb." ”

Sure enough, this section of the cave, there are obvious traces of artificial trimming, the top of the cave on both sides of the passage, the bottom of the cave, are chiseled almost square, very similar to a section of the tomb, and then go forward, a large rectangular cave chamber, appear in front of you, but the room is empty, only in the corner of the pile of some silt, charcoal ash things.

"This is the burial chamber," Jiang Yuniang said, "If Xiaohu is here, he will explain it to us in detail." It's a pity that we don't understand. ”

"If only he had known there was an ancient tomb here. Will definitely come. ”

Walking through this burial chamber, I entered the karst cave with twists and turns, a large cave hall, the size of several rooms. Under the light of the torches, the roof of the cave shimmered and shimmered, and everyone was amazed. Suddenly, Li Erhei shouted: "Everyone be careful, there is smoke in front." ”

A wisp of black smoke drifted from the end of the big cave hall, because there was no wind in the cave, the black smoke drifted very slowly, but it also lingered for a long time, and a spicy smell diffused. Jiang Yuniang said: "Hold your breath, Xiaomei, hurry up and use the herbs." ”

Li Mei ran forward. A bundle of hay was lit on the torch, the hay emitted a fragrant smell, she held the herb and shook it in front of everyone a few times, the fragrance dispersed in the air, and quickly drove away the previous pungent smell, Li Mei ran to the end of the big cave hall, a pile of black dead grass, straw paper and branches mixed together, was emitting thick black smoke, she shook the herb in her hand, and stepped on the burning fire with her feet. Shi Suo and Zhang Xiaoliu caught up, two pairs of big feet stepped over, and quickly extinguished the fire.

"Chase quickly, the enemy is in front." Everyone is talking. Quickened his pace, on the ground, from time to time there were scattered blades of grass, footprints, chasing into a place with countless stalagmites, Dafeng suddenly said: "This place." We've been here, Stone Lock, Stone Lock, don't you see? ”

Shi Suo identified it, and sure enough, he felt a little familiar, here, when he got lost with Dafeng and Jiang Sheng, he had indeed seen the scene in front of him, these wood-like stalagmites, he had climbed on one of them, and commanded Jiang Sheng and Dafeng to recognize the way, he patted his head and said to Dafeng: "I understand, this hole and the hole where we got lost are connected." ”

"Anything is connected, it was originally a hole."

"Horn, horn," two gunshots rang out from the front, everyone was stunned, and quickly hid behind the stalagmites, fortunately, there were many stalagmites, which happened to become a wonderful concealment, but one after another stalagmites also blocked the line of sight, and they couldn't see what was happening in front of them, and they couldn't see the traces of the enemy.

The front was empty, there was nothing, Jiang Yuniang asked: "Shisuo, how far is it from the entrance of the cave?" ”

"It's not far away, and you'll be at the entrance of the cave right away."

"I know, this gun may have been put by Xiao Fuzi and Duan Laosan who were guarding the entrance of the cave, let's go quickly, the enemy is in front."

As soon as everyone heard this, everyone was excited, and the team members with guns pushed bullets, bypassed the stalagmites one after another, and rushed forward, in front, a chaotic sound of footsteps, shouts, faintly heard, and a buzzing echo sounded in the cave. Everyone knew in their hearts that it must be Tong Ce and other enemies who wanted to get out of the cave, but they were blocked by Duan Laosan and others, and now it was the best time to strike twice.

Follow the sound to chase, but found that away from the direction of the cave entrance, there are many forks in the cave, it must be the enemy is fleeing along other roads, Shi Suo and Da Feng rushed to the front, when walking through a narrow passage, found that the figure in front of him flashed, Shi Suo shouted, chased over, the figure in front turned a corner, and disappeared, only to hear a chaotic footsteps.

Finally caught up with the enemy, everyone followed behind the stone lock, closely chased, Jiang Yuniang was careful, in a hurry did not forget to leave the mark of the path, ran for a while, felt that the light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter, the torch was no longer useful, obviously to the entrance of the cave, you can see the light outside.

Sure enough, turn a corner again, an arc-shaped hole appeared in front of you, the bright sunlight came in, a group of bats, seemed to be frightened, was flying out from the hole, everyone rushed to the mouth of the cave, and found that the entrance of the cave was on a steep mountain wall, two or three feet high from the slope below, looking into the distance, several figures were fleeing lifelessly.

Shi Suo and the team raised their guns, "Horn horn," a burst of guns ricocheted, because they were in a hurry, but none of them hit, the mountains in front of them were high and low, and the figures turned a slope and disappeared.

At the entrance of the cave, there are a few old vines drooping down, Jiang Yuniang and Dafeng have gone down the vine, the stone lock and the team members have also climbed down the hole, some anxious young people are several feet high from the ground, they jumped down, everyone immediately took a step forward after landing, chased forward, there is no road here, there are rocks and cliffs everywhere, these people are young and strong, most of them have practiced martial arts, jumping and jumping, like a group of brave mountain leopards, moving forward.

Turning the slope, suddenly Jiang Yuniang stopped, "Stop, hide." ”

"Horn horn," a string of bullets came from the front, hitting the rocks and crackling.

In front, there was a winding mountain road, Tong Ce and a few other figures were running in front, and behind several rocks on the side of the road, bullets were still shooting out, obviously, there was an enemy there to answer Tong Ce.

"Hit." Shi Suo shouted, lying behind a sharp stone, raising his gun to shoot forward, and the team members also took advantage of the concealment in front of them to shoot forward, "Horn, horn, horn," the gunfire rang out.

"Lao Li, you detour from the side." Jiang Yuniang said.

Li Erhei took Zhang Xiaoliu and others, quietly shortened his figure, and bypassed from the side, they were all people who had been in the mountains for a long time, climbing the mountain and crossing the stream, like eating, and with all their efforts, they detoured back to the side of the pile of rocks, at this time, the gunfire behind the pile of rocks had stopped.

Zhang Xiaoliu dangled three sticks, a few tiger jumps, and pounced forward, but found that there was no one behind the pile of rocks, only to know that the enemy had retreated, he jumped on a high post and looked forward, a string of figures, was running wildly on the path.

"They ran, chase after them," Zhang Xiaoliu jumped off the high post.

Shi Suo and others saw that the enemy's gunfire stopped, and they also ran over, everyone took a big stride, along the narrow mountain road, chasing after them, the mountains here are dangerous, the path is also very tortuous, and a figure appeared in front of them for a while, but it was gone in a blink of an eye, Shi Suo and others simply stopped shooting, and ran violently.

Turning a corner, a village appeared in front of him, and Li Erhei slapped his thigh, "Tongjiazhai." ”

Those figures saw a puff of smoke and rushed into Tong's village.

Jiang Yuniang caught up, and Li Erhei asked with some annoyance: "What should I do, do you want to go in?" ”

"No, it's not okay to attack the stockade like this." The river fish girl shook her head.

Everyone chased over, panting, looking at the Tong family village in front, although they were unwilling, but they all understood that Jiang Yuniang's words were reasonable, Shi Suo put two shots at the door of the village, but the village was calm, no gun was returned, and there was no other movement.

"Okay, I didn't catch up with Tong Ce, but today is also a big victory, let's find out the situation in the cave, these bandits in Tongjiazhai, if you want to use the cave to make ghosts in the future, we will have a way to deal with it." Jiang Yuniang persuaded everyone.

"I blew that hole." Shi Suo said hatefully.

"Alright, withdraw the troops." Jiang Yuniang said. (To be continued.) )xh:.74.240.212
