Chapter 220 is trapped

"There was a cave in front of the road a few miles ago, which my father stumbled upon back then, and few people knew about it."

Zhao Sanlang's proposal was naturally approved by everyone.

Looking at the mountain, the mountain road is rugged, and there is a lot of gravel on the ground, and the mountain indicated by Zhao Sanlang looks very close.

They didn't arrive until after nightfall.

The cave is not hidden in the valley, as everyone thinks, but on top of a cliff in an open area.

It was about a foot high above the ground, and the entrance to the cave was so small that only one person could bend down and climb into it, and it was covered by an old pine tree and some vines outside.

Sufu had fluorescent stone with her, and she took it out for illumination.

After crawling for a while, the cave opened up, and it was still relatively dry when I looked at it, although there were a few bats, but there were no traces of snakes and insects.

There was some hay in the cave, and piles of fire ash, apparently someone had spent the night here.

"How long is this hole?"

Ye Qiang looked around and asked.

"It's not very long, and it's about two hundred steps into it, but there is a vent on the top, so you don't have to worry about being stuffy."

They had carefully cleaned the marks before they came up, and covered the hole with rubble.

After resting for a while, the problem came, the cave was very cold, and it was spring outside before entering the mountain, and everyone was dressed relatively thinly.

Sov had pulled a thick cloak on the spot, but she had to spend the night in the cave, but she still couldn't withstand the bitter cold.

In addition to the cold and hunger, the little dry food on his body has long been eaten.

There is an abundance of food in the mountains, and you can easily catch small animals such as hares and pheasants, as well as wild vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms.

But the key is that they don't dare to make a fire, for fear of attracting pursuers.

"It doesn't matter, in the second half of the night, the mountains will be filled with thick fog, and the smoke mixed in with it will not be visible at all."

Except for Suf, several people took turns keeping vigil, even in the cave.

In the early hours of the morning, Su Fu really woke up from freezing, and Zhao Sanlang lit a fire and roasted the hare while keeping warm.

After leaving here, they didn't know if they could encounter such a hidden place, so they decided to grill more meat and bring it as dry food.

As the rich smell of meat wafted through the cave, Sov suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The other party can chase after him with clues, which means that there must be a tracking master, such a strong fragrance, how can a few pieces of gravel be blocked.

"Be careful, everyone, this scent may attract beasts at night, and it may also point the way to those who are following you."

Everyone looked at each other, they only thought of covering up the smoke, but they didn't think of this layer at all.

"What then? It's a dead hole, and if we let them plug the hole and wait for the rabbits, we'll starve to death in it. ”

Ye Qiang's face changed, he actually made such a low-level mistake and put Su Fu in danger.

Looking down and thinking about it, Su Fu asked Zhao Sanlang, "Where are the vents you said?" How big is it? ”

"A little further in, two or three feet above the ground, there are many gaps, but there is no one out there."

Zhao Sanlang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Let's go and see it first, how do you know if you don't try, you can't sit still."

Su Fu was optimistic, anyway, even if they found out, they wouldn't be able to attack this hole for a while.

At this time, the guard in charge of guarding the entrance to the cave came in and reported that there was unusual movement under the cliff outside. 139 Reading Network

It seems that these people are coming faster than they thought.

Three men were arranged to hold bows and crossbows to guard the entrance to the cave. The remaining three people, Su Fu, Ye Qiang and Zhao Sanlang, went in to explore the way.

After walking another twenty or thirty steps into the cave, according to Zhao Sanlang's instructions, he saw many cracks on the high roof of the cave.

"I'll climb up there and see what the hell goes."

The walls of the cave are not smooth, and although it is dangerous to climb up, it is not impossible.

Su Fu gave him a fluorescent stone, and Zhao Saburo pinned him to the placket of his clothes, holding a hunting knife in his hand.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Sanlang finally climbed to the top of the cave, but the situation was not optimistic, and the largest gap was only an inch wide.

Not to mention adults, even a two-year-old baby can't climb out.

He cut it with his dagger for a while, but the stones were as hard as iron.

After chopping for a while, only a layer of stone powder was scraped off, and it was very difficult to widen the cracks.

Just as they were about to continue to look inside the cave, there was a warning sound at the entrance of the cave, and it seemed that the pursuers had confirmed their location and were attacking.

Fortunately, the entrance to the cave was narrow and deep, and the men finally stopped after being shot four or five people in a row by the crossbow arrows.

After a while, smoke was billowing outside, and the choking smoke kept burrowing into the hole, and it carried the foul smell of horse manure.

Sov immediately told them to cover their mouths and noses with a wet cloth towel and crawl on the ground as much as possible.

Fortunately, the cave has a large area, and there are many cracks on the roof, and the wind swirling and rising in the cave carries away all the smoke.

So there's no real harm to them.

Taking advantage of the thick smoke, the people outside carried out two more waves of attacks, and all of them returned with a feather.

Seeing that the entrance to the cave was not in danger of being breached for the time being, the three of them continued to explore the cave to find a way out.

The cave is inclined down, about a hundred meters, to the bottom of the cave.

The bottom is very wide, but there are heavy stone walls everywhere, and there are still many small cracks in the top, but unfortunately, none of them are large.

Su Fu and the others beat the back of the knife on the cave wall again, trying to see if there was any weakness.

After working for a long time, the three of them were disgraced, but they didn't gain anything at all.

I had no choice but to return to the entrance of the cave again, anyway, the location had been exposed, so I didn't have to worry so much.

Ye Qiang simply lit a fire, roasted all the remaining hares and pheasants, and everyone had a beautiful meal.

The attack on the hole had stopped, and they were no longer tempting.

But Sov and the others knew that danger still existed, and they were trapped in the cave, and it would not be long before the food would run out.

What's even worse is that there is no water source in this cave, and there is not a lot of clear water left in their water bladder.

Su Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly, in fact, if there was enough water and food, this place would be a great place to take refuge.

As long as they stick in it for more than ten days, when Lin Yan finishes talking with King Yu, he will definitely come back to look for them.

After calculating it, even if it is very economical, they can only last a day and a night at most.

Sitting still has never been Su Fu's character, she took the fluorescent stone and Ye Qiang and walked into the bottom of the cave again.

Several people searched the cave without giving up, but still found nothing.

At this time, the sky outside was already bright, and wisps of light penetrated through the cracks, illuminating the inside half-brightly and half-dark.

Suddenly, a particularly dark spot on the cave wall caught Sof's attention.

It's just that it was a foot or two above the ground, and the light was dim, so I couldn't see what was going on.
