Chapter 207: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright
Wang Chuyi put together the existing equipment, and gave us all the equipment except for some of the equipment left by the mercenary captain.
Carrying the backpack, me, the ghost mouse Lao Jiu, Hu Zi and Wang Chuyi, the four of us began to walk towards the depths of the cave, this cave is winding and rugged, very uneven, sometimes the ground seems very slippery, it is very difficult to walk.
The cave is very deep, I walked while using a flashlight, the whole cave is inclined downward, the height along the way is about one meter, the surrounding is covered with a plant with spikes, every other way, the structure inside the cave will have obvious changes, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, the big place wants to be a course, the hole is more than fifty meters high, and you can vaguely see the sunlight shining in the cracks of the hole, the narrow place can only crawl forward, some very dangerous steep slopes, can only crawl by ropes, and there are many forks, The whole cave is like a labyrinth, if it weren't for the ghost mouse Lao Jiu, it would not be clear which cave to enter, and our speed was very slow along the way.
"Hey, I said Lao Bai, how deep is this hole? How do I feel colder and colder? ”
I glanced back, Wang Chuyi followed behind Huzi, rubbing his arms with his hands, and it seemed that he also felt a significant drop in temperature.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too deep, after all, it's a natural cave."
At this moment, the ghost mouse Lao Jiu in front of him suddenly said, "That's not right! …… Wrong! ……”
The three of us suddenly heard him say this, and we were all shocked, and Wang Chuyi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" After saying that, he looked around nervously, this cave is very dark, we can only rely on torches and flashlights to illuminate, if there is really some monster suddenly rushing out, in this small space, it is difficult for us to deal with it.
At this time, I only heard the ghost mouse Lao Jiu sigh and said, "How can there be a river?" ”
I hurriedly leaned forward and saw that not far in front of the cave, an underground river was flowing slowly, the beach on the left side of the dark river was full of rocks, and the rocks on the right side were obviously man-made traces, and the rocks were cleaned up on both sides, and a winding path appeared there.
Seeing this, I also wondered, could it be that there are still people living here? Thinking of this, I hurriedly walked over to see, and when I came to the side of the dark river, I found a lot of footprints, I looked up at Wang Chuyi, only to see her squatting down and shining a flashlight, and said, "This is the footprints of modern people, you see, there are lines under the footprints, very similar to the sneakers left by the sole of the cow." ”
Seeing this, we can't help but focus our eyes on the ghost mouse Lao Jiu, when we just entered the cave, the ghost mouse Lao Jiu was very sure, this tomb is hidden at the bottom of this cave, but now it seems that we have almost reached the bottom of the cave, not only did not find the entrance to the tomb, but also found traces of modern people here, if not there is an inverted team, we arrived here one step ahead, then how to explain the footprints here?
But this time I set out to Death Valley, the news can be said to be very secretive, except for me and Huzi, only Zhang Wuxing and Boss Jin know, Zhang Wuxing naturally will not say much, and Boss Jin is also a mercenary person, and will never spread such confidential news.
At this time, the ghost mouse Lao Jiu walked to the opposite side of the river beach, leaned over and looked forward, and said, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" The tomb is not here? ”
When Huzi heard this, he became angry and scolded, "Damn, when you came in, you were still bragging to a few of us there, saying how powerful your compass is, no worse than the seventh master's, fuck, it's a Xibei product for a long time." ”
The ghost mouse Lao Jiu was scolded by Huzi, his face was a little unbearable, and he was just about to speak, when he heard a voice in the dark, "What person!" ”
This sudden shout almost scared the souls of several of us, and we hurriedly turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the place where the sound came from.
I saw a young man in an old camouflage uniform, carrying an iron bucket in his hand, standing on the dark river beach not far from us, as if he was coming to fetch water.
"Who are you?" Huzi asked with a glaring eye.
The young man looked at us, and then said a long list of names, because his name was too long, none of us could remember it, and finally Wang Chuyi said, "Your name is Nurbayi, right?" Listening to the name, it looks like a Xinjiang person? ”
The young man nodded and said, "I'm from Xinjiang." ”
The young man's words made us feel puzzled for an instant, isn't this Kunlun Mountain in Qinghai? Belonging to Tibetan areas, how can there be Xinjiang people?
So I hurriedly asked, "You mean, we're in Xinjiang now?" ”
The boy nodded and said, "Yes, this is my home out there!" ”
After a brief conversation, the four of us followed the boy out of the other side of the cave.
After leaving the cave, I suddenly found that my eyes were still a grazing field with lush water and grass, and there were more than a dozen large round tents next to it, not far from us.
Following the boy to one of the tents, the boy's parents warmly welcomed us to sit down and said, "What are you here for?" How did you get here? ”
Huzi scratched his head and looked at me.
I smiled slightly and said, "We are from the scientific expedition team, this time we got lost with the other team members, encountered the thunder and lightning climate again, got into the cave, and ran into your son when we came out." ”
The boy's parents nodded, smiled and handed over a few cups of hot tea, and said, "Oh, it's the whole thing, you're going to investigate there." ”
Wang Chuyi and I looked at each other and said, "We're going to the Nalengrad Gorge." ”
When the young man's parents heard this, their faces changed, and they said, "No, no, it's too dangerous there, you can't get out when you go in." ”
Hearing them say this, Huzi and I both wondered, could it be that the place where we just entered was lush with water and grass and infested with wolves was not Death Valley?
So he dared to hurriedly ask, "What is the approximate location of the Lengler Gorge?" How far are we from there? ”
The boy's parents, who were afraid of us entering the valley of death, kept persuading us to go back, and when they saw that we were unmoved, they began to introduce the horrors of the valley of death, and wanted to make us retreat.
In the tent, we talked to the boy's parents for almost the whole afternoon, and then stood up when the sun had set.
The boy's parents said, "It's not safe here at night, there are often wild wolves, so don't go at night, wait until tomorrow morning, and then set out, and there is an empty tent here, and then Khuzar will set it up for you." ”
The four of us thanked each other and finally left the tent where the teenager's parents were staying.
After Kuzar set up the tent, we walked in, and then Huzi's face was very ugly, and he scolded, "Damn, it's been a long time, we haven't arrived yet!" This decrepit person is too unreliable! As he spoke, he pointed to the ghost mouse Lao Jiu.
