As soon as the third master said this, the old ruffian was a little anxious, and said: "Why didn't you say it earlier if there is a shortcut, let's just copy the shortcut to find the warehouse, roll up the things and leave." ”

I appeased the old ruffian, and said to the third master: "Third master, tell me what the situation is." ”

Shi Sanye explained: "Before I thought that we should pass from the current road steadily, there will be no major accidents, the shortcut I said is actually a cave, you can directly pass through the second mountain, but that cave has not been walked for many years, I only walked once by chance, although there is no accident, but I always feel unsteady in my heart." ”

The old ruffian no longer complained about the third master, and said: "There is nothing unrealistic, let's be careful and go over, if there are really any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, they will be destroyed, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”

I asked the third master again, "Third master, do you still remember the specific location of the cave?" ”

The third master thought for a while, nodded and said: "That cave is in the forest in front, if you don't know the location and grope to find it, it's almost impossible, I also found it by mistake." “

I immediately made a decision and said, "In this case, even if it is the tiger's den and the wolf's den, we have to break in, without further ado, let's go!" “

After the discussion, the three of them immediately walked towards the woods, this time the third master led the way, and the old ruffian and I followed behind to observe the surrounding situation, and reacted as soon as there was an accident.

After entering the woods, there was originally a sheep intestine trail leading directly to the mountain, but now that the three of them have changed to find the cave, this path has become useless, and the third master can only open a path in the forest according to his memory.

The trees in the forest are luxuriant, the weeds are overgrown, and there are some plants that can't be named.

After walking for more than an hour, the third master suddenly stopped while walking, and the old ruffian thought that he was tired again, so he said: "Third master, this is not the time to rest, when we go down at night and wait for the place, there will be nothing for us." ”

The third master smiled and said, "Two brothers, we have arrived in front of the cave, you look forward." ”

I looked forward, except for a row of dense trees in front of me, the rest were weeds and arm-thick vines, and nothing else, so I asked suspiciously: "Third master, are you not joking, there are no caves here." ”

The third master pointed to the trees in front of him with some pride, and said: "That cave is not on the ground, but you have to climb three meters of the tree and open the vines before you can see it." After speaking, he turned his head to the old ruffian and said: "Brother ruffian, count the eighth tree from left to right, you can climb up and take a look according to what I said, and you will naturally understand." “

The old ruffian said suspiciously: "This place doesn't look like a cave at all." Having said that, he put down the backpack on his body and handed it to me, walked to the bottom of the eighth tree according to what the third master said, observed the situation on the tree, jumped and grabbed a vine wrapped around the tree, and went up the tree with three or five feet in addition to the second-hand feet, and continued to climb through the branches, and soon went up about three meters, found a thicker branch and stood firm, and shouted to the tree: "Third master, what should I do next?" “

The third master took a few steps back and looked at the location of the old ruffian, and shouted loudly: "You turn around now and peel off the vines on the tree, it is estimated that they will grow thicker after so many years, and behind the vines is the entrance to the cave." “

I took a closer look at the environment in front of me, a row of dense trees in front, surrounded by thick and lush vines, the original terrain has basically been blocked, this piece turned out to be a small cliff about two stories high, the cave is just in the middle of the height, such an environment is really difficult for ordinary people to find, so I asked the third master: "Third master, such a hidden cave, how did you find it?" “

The third master smiled, and said proudly: "I went into the mountains to play before, and before I knew it, it was dark, I walked and got lost, and I got here by mistake, I didn't expect there to be a cave here, I only heard a bird cry in the tree, and looked carefully at a bird's nest, I forgot that I had lost my way for a while, so I went up to dig the bird's nest, and half of the old bird came back and scared me, and I fell from the tree in fright, and hurriedly grabbed a vine, My body shook a few times, and I was thrown into the cave like this. “

After listening to the words of the third master, I nodded in admiration, thinking that it was really a fool to be a fool, and I looked up at the old ruffian, who was still struggling to open the vines, so I shouted: "Old ruffian, be careful, don't fall from the tree." “

The old ruffian responded, and then continued to pull the vines hard, the tree was not easy to exert force, can only pull little by little, just like this for more than ten minutes, I and the third master looked at the old ruffian under the tree, and it didn't help much, and then simply sat on the ground to rest.

After a while, as soon as I looked up, the old ruffian who was originally on the tree was gone, and I hurriedly stood up to take a closer look. ”

I said, "Why is the old ruffian gone?" ”

The third master was not too panicked, and said, "It should be in the cave, there will be no accidents." “

As soon as the words fell, I heard the old ruffian's voice come out: "Ah Zheng, third master, there is really a cave here, you wait for me to come out and pull you up." “

The vines on the tree shook a few times, and the old ruffian squeezed out of it, and said excitedly: "God really takes care of a few of us, I take a look at this cave and there should be no problem, I will pull you two up and go into the cave and set off." “

The old ruffian put down a cut vine, and the third master and I first tied the equipment to the vine and let the old ruffian pull it up, and then I pulled the vine and kicked the branch with both feet, and soon went up to the branch where the old ruffian was under the pull of the old ruffian, and the space above was quite spacious.

The old ruffian put the vine down again, and wanted the third master to catch it and come up like I just did, but I was worried that the third master wouldn't be able to catch it, so I shouted: "Third master, you tie the vine around your waist, and the tie is strong, and the old ruffian and I will pull you up directly." “

The third master answered, and started to wrap the vines around his waist twice and tie them, and when he felt that something was wrong, he shouted: "Okay, let's pull it." “
