Lin Xia carefully inspected the surroundings of the cave wall with a flashlight, and except for the traces of smoke and fire everywhere, he still didn't seem to see any clues.

Lin Xia said a little depressed: "This cave is such a big piece, where is there anything strange to talk about?" ”

I didn't answer, because I was just speculating, and there was no basis to prove that there was something strange in this cave, and I was about to walk to the entrance of the cave while speaking, where Professor Wen was still explaining the three-eyed fire gun to Tuesday Mao and the others, when suddenly a mouse passed by us, startling Lin Xia. I was still thinking about it, so I grabbed Lin Xia's hand in a panic and pulled it back.

Lin Xia blushed, suddenly retracted his hand, and I smiled awkwardly: "It doesn't matter, it's just a mouse." ”

By the time I turned back, the rat was gone.

I looked around at the empty caves around me, where there were rats.

I curiously took the flashlight and went into the depths of the cave, there were indeed no mice, and there were hard stone walls all around.

I was about to turn back, when suddenly a rat's footprint in the corner of the cave caught my attention, the rat obviously existed, and when it reached the corner of the wall, it was gone, could it be crawling into the hanging coffin, thinking about the appearance of the rat gnawing the corpse, I couldn't help but shudder. However, the cave wall was quite smooth, and it was vertically upward, and he felt that it was unlikely, so Lin Xia also followed. Ask me what's going on.

I said the rat was gone when he got here. Lin Xia also turned on the flashlight strangely to find it.

I crouched down and found a small hole in the crack in the smoky stone wall, and I couldn't really see it without crouching, which was really strange, and this mouse was not a pangolin.

At this time, I noticed that there seemed to be an inconspicuous small crack in the stone wall, which was not much different at first glance, but it seemed to be very deep on closer inspection, and I picked up a stone and gently tapped the cave wall, and suddenly heard a gurgling sound overhead.

I was shocked and yelled badly! Pulling Lin Xia up, he ran back, only to hear a loud bang overhead, and a large pile of rocks crackled and smashed down. There was also a pungent smell of lime in the air, and Lin Xia also grabbed my hand in a panic, and suddenly the soles of my feet slipped, and both of them fell to the ground. I saw smoke and dust rising from behind. There was white lime dust scattered in the cave, I hurriedly unbuckled my belt to cover Lin Xia's eyes, got up and pulled Lin Xia up and continued to run.

Fortunately, the cave was not long, and when the two of them were covered in white ash and rushed out like two snowmen, the rest of the people were already stupid and didn't know what was going on inside.

My eyes were so stinging that I couldn't open them, and I shouted with snot and tears: "Run, there is an ambush, there is an ambush." ”

On Tuesday, Mao heard that there was an ambush, shouted, picked up his shotgun, and fired a shot into the hole. But there was no sound in the cave for a long time, and a pungent smell of lime poured out of the cave as I spoke, but fortunately I shouted in time, and everyone had retreated to the river. Several team members with guns fired in horror into the cave in a frightening burst of aimless fire.

Lin Xia pulled the belt covering his eyes and scolded, "Stop, stop." Save some bullets, there's no one inside! ”

We stepped on the water to cross the river in a panic, on the other side of the river, on Tuesday Mao and Lin Xia repeatedly rinsed my eyes with water for a long time before I felt that the stinging pain in my eyes began to subside, but the sight was still blurry, and when I shone in the river, both eyes were so swollen that they were almost squinted into a line.

Tuesday Mao teased: "Chen Erwa of the dog day, did you stab the hornet's nest or what." The eyes are swollen like monkey buttocks. ”

I scolded him. sighed: "I didn't expect these Miao people to have a backup move, they didn't kill those soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and they almost killed Lao Tzu!" ”

Seeing that it was getting late, there were too many strange things this day, everyone was tired, so they had to camp on the spot by the river, I was the most seriously injured, Lin Xia was not much better than me except that his eyes were not burned, and he was not much better than me, with many abrasions all over his body, and he was gray-headed.

I smiled and said, "This person relies on clothes and horses and saddles, and Miss Lin looks like a beggar (called a flower) now." ”

Lin Xia smiled: "Miss Ben doesn't want to deal with a blind person, oh yes, you're not blind, you really want to be blind." ”

Professor Wen asked the two of us about the situation in the cave, and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a sinister mechanism in this cave, and you two are also fortune tellers." ”

At this time, the team doctor came over and took out an eye drop from his backpack and said, "Once in the evening, I guess I will get better tomorrow." ”

After I thanked him, I remembered the first time I went to Qixing Mountain with Tuesday Mao, and said to Lin Xia enviously: "Your company is good, everyone has it, the medicine is complete, the equipment is advanced, and it is very professional." ”

Lin Xia said: "Then you can join our company." ”

I smiled and said, "I'll forget it, I just want to get something out and save some money so that I can go to Japan to study in a military school." ”

Lin Xia said: "Wouldn't it be better to go to military school in our United States, West Point Military Academy is one of the best military schools in the world." ”

I said, "I'm not going to the United States, my brother is going to college in your United States." I'll go to Japan. ”

In fact, at that time, I knew the countries of the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany, but I didn't know exactly which country was and where.

The next day, the sinkhole was covered in fog again, and the bottom of the pit could only be foggy, but the bottom of the valley was not as wet as the top of the mountain, except for the poor visibility.

At this time, the smoke and dust in the cave on the other side of the river have already dispersed, we stand on the bank of the river at the bottom of the valley and look inside, except for the strong smell of lime in the cave, there seems to be nothing unusual, after using eye drops yesterday, the feeling of eye swelling and pain has subsided significantly, and the vision has recovered a lot.

I said I was more familiar with the situation inside, and I led the way. I saw that the hanging coffins were dyed white, as if there was a heavy snow in the cave.

Entering the cave, I saw that the bottom of the cave was full of large pieces of rubble, and the cliff above the head actually exposed a big hole out, it is estimated that this is the exit of the last group of Miao people to leave, although at this time we don't know where the cave leads, but it is better than waiting here stupidly.

Professor Wen pointed to the rattan net on the ground and said: "It is estimated that there is a bait here first, and then the bait is connected by a rope mechanism through that small hole, and after touching it, these rocks and lime will fall from it. ”

On Tuesday, Mao comforted: "Second baby, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing!" You're going to get something good when you get into the hole! ”

Everyone laughed.

We looked at the big hole hanging on the cliff, Professor Wen said: "This cave is estimated to have steps before, and later the Miao people demolished the steps to prevent the Ming Dynasty army from attacking after the move, and these smashed stones are very likely to be the stones of these steps." With so much lime, if there are many Ming soldiers, it is inevitable to be recruited. It's not that if you're blind, you'll have to be trampled to death. ”

I looked up and said, "How do you go up this cave?" ”

On Tuesday, Mao spat into the palm of his hand and said, "Of course, I have to solve this kind of thing!" ”

On Tuesday, the Mao hunter was born, the ability to climb the rock is undoubted, I saw this kid hanging a long rope around his waist, took out an iron claw from the backpack and came out, two brisk steps rushed to the stone wall, the two feet alternately kicked a kick, the person was also in mid-air, quickly raised his hand, the iron claw has hung on the lower edge of the cave wall, like an ape has been steadily turned up on the hole, a set of * actions in one go, everyone can not help but applaud.

On Tuesday, Mao wrapped the rope around himself, leaned back, and kicked the stone wall, I grabbed the rope and turned it over, and then we picked up the team members below one by one.

I saw that the entrance of the cave was not large, and in front of it was a stone ladder carved out of the stone, allowing only one person to hover sideways. Up the stairs was a stone chamber filled with rusty weapons and some rotting grain. Behind the stone chamber is a hand-carved stone path, but this stone path is much wider than the stone staircase where you just entered, and there are diagonal slots for torches in the stone path.

We had the experience of the last time in Qixing Mountain, and we didn't dare to touch anything, and we also told everyone not to touch it.
