Chapter 29: Cao Xu
I hurriedly shone my flashlight on it, and the light above reappeared. However, after a second, it became dark again, and when I looked closely, I saw a person with his head stuck in the hole and looking down at it. This startled me, and I hurriedly pointed to the head of the person above and said to everyone, "It's a person!" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly went to touch the gun in his waist.
Feng Laonong grabbed my hand and asked me not to move. At this time, the man above laughed at us and shouted, "Are you the guys who live in my store and want to buy jasper?" The voice sounded familiar, and I thought about it for a moment. suddenly remembered that this was Cao Xu's voice!
How did this kid end up here? Could it be that our whereabouts on the descent have been known? Luckily, we didn't do anything illegal, and even if they knew, they wouldn't do anything to us, and they might thank us. We helped them dig through the cave and find so much jade.
When I heard Cao Xu's cry, I hurriedly responded to him: "Yes, it's us!" "
Cao Xu shouted on it: "You went down yesterday, such a deep hole." Take me down for fun. "
Hearing Cao Xu say this, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my eyes. We were worried about going out yesterday under this hole, and he was going down to play. I laughed at Cao Xu and shouted, "Don't come down!" When we went down, we found that it was a dead end, and now we want to go up, but we can't go up. Been hungry here for days. Go back and find a rope to pull us up." "
After Cao Xu listened to me. He shouted at me again, "Okay, you wait for me for a while." I'll go back and call for someone to help you up!" "
At this time, Feng Laonong shouted at Cao Xu: "Don't, don't call someone." We had rope in our backpacks, but we couldn't throw them on. Just find a way to get our rope over and tie it to a tree on the mountain. We can climb it ourselves. "
"Oh! Shall I go back and find some small hemp rope tied to sesame stalks? Cao Xu shouted.
"Okay! OK! Go find it, come back soon," Feng Lao Nong shouted, "Don't tell anyone else!" "
After Cao Xu answered from above, he left. Then the hole was reopened. Yang Kexing looked at his watch, and it was now more than seven o'clock. To estimate our itinerary and the weather, it should be more than seven o'clock in the morning. Okay, don't worry about anything now, just wait for Cao Xu to go down the mountain and bring a rope to pull our big rope up!
After a few of us took this reassuring pill, we were no longer sorrowful. The group threw the backpack on the ground and opened it. Go rummage through unimportant things and throw them away. Because to climb more than 20 meters along this rope, the physical exertion is huge. Let's try to throw all the worthless and unimportant things in the hole.
After cleaning up, sapper shovels, medical kits, spare batteries, flashlights, life jackets, reflective vests, wet underwear, etc., etc., were thrown into a hidden corner of the hole. The kerosene lamp was taken out and one was lit at the entrance of the cave, so that Cao Xu could see us when he came back with the rope. Compressed biscuits and vacuum-packed beef jerky we took out and had a big meal. I didn't finish it, and I put it all in the corner. Looking at the cigarettes I brought, the one that I opened was already soaked with water and couldn't smoke anymore, so I threw it away. The two packs of cigarettes that did not open their mouths were taken out, disassembled and thrown on the ground, and whoever smoked them took it himself. Then we counted the bullets, and together with all the ones we picked up in the cave and Yang Kexing, there were less than thirty left. Wan Bao took all the bullets from the revolver. A few of us filled up our pistols and left the rest of the bullets in our pockets. There was nothing else, only the pot of chalcedony in Feng Laonong's backpack. Even the pot and bag were carried by Feng Laonong. And the nylon rope he brought, Feng Lao Nong put a pimple every ten centimeters, so that when we climbed up later, our hands could be held with strength.
After everything was packed, it was already past eight o'clock. Seeing that Cao Xu hadn't come back yet, we picked up the clothes we threw out and spread them on the ground, and then lay on them smoking cigarettes and chatting. I was lying on the ground looking at the strip in a daze, hoping that Cao Xu would come back soon, and we would leave this ghost place quickly. But as he waited, the boy disappeared and never came back.
After a long time, Yang Kexing looked at his watch and said, "It's half past eleven, this kid hasn't come yesterday!" "
"Maybe it's far away, this mountain is up and down, looking close, but I'm tired and breaks my leg!" Feng Lao Nong said: "Wait with peace of mind!" We spent hundreds of dollars in his house, so he didn't want us to live in a cave! "
After Feng Laonong finished speaking, everyone was quiet again. After smoking the last cigarette, he asked Yang if he could have a feasible time. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon to answer.
