Chapter 17: Explosion Out of Thin Air
I glanced at Kong Xian, he stared at the fawn as if he was looking at a bomb that would be detonated at any time, as if he was going to break someone's neck in the next second, no wonder the fawn was afraid that he would die.
I was a little helpless, "Kong Xian, if you look at the deer with this expression, everyone should have a shadow in their hearts, can we soften ......"
He turned to me with a smile and said, "Softer? If I want to beat you, I won't let these two words appear in my dictionary. ”
"Yo, what's the drop?" I laughed and said, "You still think you're gentle on me, don't you?" ”
He still wanted to come back, but before he could speak, there was a sudden loud sound like a blast in the second half of the valley, and the three of us were startled at the same time, and before I could react, Kong Xian had already pressed me and the fawn to the ground.
In an instant, thick smoke billowed and dust filled the sky......
I was lying on the back of the fawn and could protect him. In the chaos, I only felt a lot of rubble falling on my body, and it hurt to hit me, and a few big pieces hit my legs, which almost made me cry, and at that moment I really felt that I might not be able to stand up again. But fortunately, I have a backpack behind my back and I barely block it so that it doesn't hit my back.
I felt very difficult to breathe, I couldn't breathe much oxygen, it was all dust and sand, and I choked and coughed.
If you guessed correctly, someone must have blasted the second half of the valley, but luckily it wasn't close enough to threaten our lives. However, it is too early to relax, we are in a valley, the terrain is too low and extremely dangerous, once there is a loose place in the mountain, it is affected by the earthquake and collapses, we all have to be buried, it is not a joke.
The loud noise continued for two or three times before it completely subsided, and I barely covered my nose with the clothes of the fawn under me and gasped, closed my eyes and shouted, "Do you want to run farther?" ”
Kong Xian couldn't see where I was, so he groped my neck with his hand, put it on my ear and said, "It's useless, as long as you are in this valley, you won't be safe anywhere, you can only gamble on luck." ”
At this moment, the fawn under me suddenly moved, as if trying to get up.
The stones in the sky had almost fallen, but the dust in the sky had not yet dissipated, and there was no threat, so I got up. The fawn got up and pulled my sleeve, I didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it, I reacted that he was asking us to follow him.
I still couldn't open my eyes, so I took the fawn's clothes with one hand and followed him. The other hand touched Kong Xian's body, took Kong Xian's hand, and motioned for him to follow me.
It didn't feel safe to stand up and lie down, so we walked very slowly, our feet were almost rubbing on the ground, and I opened my eyes to look around, and I ended up with a full load of sand particles.
I had only taken two or three steps when there was another loud bang coming from the first half of the valley, and I was startled. It's so close to us, almost right next to us!
It's just that this loud noise is not the sound of explosion, but the sound of a mountain collapse, and it must be which section of the mountain was affected by the previous blasting and collapsed. We didn't have time to react, we just felt something hit us and flew away.
It is also a blessing in misfortune, if you choose to run back before, you will have to be buried directly.
The fawn's hand was tied to me, so it was not scattered, but Kong Xian, who was being pulled by my other hand, was separated by the impact and disappeared. The fawn, visibly frightened, stood up for only a few seconds before getting up and pulling me along, his pace much faster than before.
"Kong Xian!" I turned around and shouted in the direction of the collapse.
He didn't respond to me......
I said in my heart, this guy won't be buried! Quickly pulled the fawn to stop, and barked twice in a row, but there was still no response......
I was horrified, and I was about to go back to him.
At this moment, a hand was on my shoulder, and Kong Xian's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and he whispered: "Don't shout, there are people around here, let's go quickly!" ”
Seeing that he was safe, we did not hesitate and followed the fawn forward for a distance. It didn't take long for me to feel my hand touch the mountain.
I was still wondering why the fawn was pulling us to the edge of the valley, so I waved the sand in front of me with my hand and squinted my eyes at the cliff.
Only then did I realize that there were several places on this cliff where you could stay. The trail is very smooth, and there must have been people climbing from here on a regular basis.
Kong Xian stepped forward and touched the place on the cliff where he used to settle down, and asked the deer, "Where can it go up there?" ”
The fawn made a circle motion, which should tell us that it was possible to walk around the valley from above. He turned to look at our hands tied together, with a helpless expression.
I knew that it was not easy to climb with my hands tied, so I looked back at Kong Xian and wanted to ask for his opinion, and if he agreed, I would loosen the rope that bound the fawn.
The dust dispersed a lot, Kong Xian's eyes were looking at the location of the collapse, I looked at him along his line of sight, and suddenly rose in fear, but I didn't expect that the location of the collapse was only less than ten meters away from us. What made me even more horrifying was that there were a large number of bones mixed in the collapsed pile of stones, and the gray-white bones were scattered, and it was impossible to distinguish whether they were humans or beasts.
"How can there be bones?" I asked, glaring.
Kong Xian didn't answer me, and untied the rope between me and Xiaolu as quickly as he could, then pushed Xiaolu and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
The deer nodded and quickly began to climb up, and I followed him to climb up, and Kong Xian followed suit.
Although there is a place to stay, after all, there is no slope on the cliff, and it is really a dog to climb up. I won't talk about the fawn, it's definitely not the first time to climb, and the action is slippery. I was more embarrassed, my foot slipped a few times, and I stepped directly on Kong Xian's shoulder, but fortunately, he gave me a foot underneath, so I didn't slide all the way to the end.
This is where you can settle down, leading directly to the top of the valley, and there is no particularly difficult place to climb. When I came up, I turned back to Lakongxian, and saw that his shoulders and hair were covered with gray marks that I had stepped on, and I thought that he must now have a heart that wanted to strangle me.
After all, I took someone else's foot, and I was unreasonable first, so I had to accompany the smiling face, and quickly patted the ash on my body and head with him, and said with a cheap face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, when I go back, I'll invite you to dinner, you can order whatever you want, give you all the beef, I'll eat coriander and nibble on the plate." ”
He ignored me, but he didn't seem to take it to heart, and looked around vigilantly as soon as he came up.
I was about to take a look at my surroundings as well, but before I could see clearly, Kong Xian suddenly reached out and pulled me and the fawn behind a huge rock to hide, and then pointed in a direction for us to see.
Only then did I realize that there were some figures shaking in the direction he was pointing. If you look closely, those people are very well armed, all of them have rifles in their hands, and they even look like armed forces, except for the lack of colorful camouflage uniforms.
In this way, they must have detonated the blast before, but why did they do it? I can't figure it out, even if the stones in this broken place are blown out, they can't be shipped out for sale, there is no coal underground, and of course, I can guarantee that there are no ancient tombs. Other than that, I really can't think of any reason why it had to be blasted. Is it just to blow up those bones? What's the use of that? The bones dug up in Changsha may be from Shang Zhou, and we can dig up a few from last week.
Anyway, that bone must have come out in the past few years, otherwise Kong Xian and I would have discovered it a long time ago, after all, this is the only way to go.
"What should I do?" I asked.
Kong Xian said softly: "Let's see what they want to do first, and then find a way to escape, don't let them find us." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two of the men coming towards the collapse in this direction, and we quickly moved a little more behind the rocks so as not to be discovered by them.
As these people got closer, I realized that they were all foreigners, and I couldn't tell which country they were, but they were American or British. They all have guns in their hands, and they are a great threat to us, and if they are discovered, they will definitely be killed. After all, it is not so easy to find a dead person in this valley, and if you bury it under the stone, even if you are found, you will think that you are dead from collapse.
The foreigner on the other side occasionally said a few words, but I couldn't hear them clearly and couldn't understand them. He leaned on Kong Xian's ear and asked him to translate it.
Kong Xian was afraid that our voices would attract their attention, so he made a silent gesture to me.
I sighed and said that I was uneducated. Since I couldn't understand what they were saying and didn't know what they were going to do, I simply turned my attention to my surroundings, trying to find a way to retreat, and to react if something happened.
The area at the top of the valley is quite flat, and it takes ten meters to climb a steep upward slope. The huge rock we were hiding on was not integrated with the cliff below, and it is possible that it rolled down from above and came to rest on the edge of the cliff.
If we can successfully get around the eyes of those people, it will be much safer to climb up to it, the rock is too small after all, and if they go a little further to the sides, they will see us.
Just as I was thinking about how I could climb up to it without being noticed by those people, the fawn gently patted me on the shoulder and pointed to the right rear of me for me to see.
When I saw it, I couldn't help but be overjoyed that there was a low hole less than half a meter there. I looked back at the location of the foreigners, and some of them were still patrolling the blasting site, and some were patrolling the collapsed area, and if we were quicker, we could have gotten into the hole before they found out.
"Fawn." I patted the fawn on the shoulder as I spoke, motioning for him to go first.
He nodded obediently, then turned his head to stare at the foreigner on the other side carefully, and when they were all not paying attention, he jumped into the hole like a weasel in an instant.
I patted Kong Xian on the shoulder again and told him that we would have to go in from there later. He nodded in understanding, and then continued to observe the words and deeds of those foreigners.
Anyway, I didn't understand, so I didn't make peace with him here, so I found an opportunity and followed the fawn into the hole.
This hole looks small from the outside, but after getting in, the space inside is very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate four or five people.
Xiaolu and I lay at the entrance of the cave and looked out, this position was sideways, just in time to see the Kong Immortal behind the boulder, but if you want to see those foreigners, it will be a little difficult, you have to arch your head to the soil next to you.
After a while, the two foreigners who inspected the collapsed side returned to the blasting point with a smile, and they didn't know if there was anything wrong with the inspection.
Kong Xian seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and took advantage of the gap between those people turning their backs to us, and also found an opportunity to rush in.
"How? What are those people doing? I hurriedly pulled Kong Xian and asked.
