The dark underground passage is bottomless, the more you go inside, the narrower it becomes, the road surface becomes bumpy, and the turns increase sharply, Mi Xiaodong tightly holds the flashlight in his hand, tries to get as close to the rock wall as possible, and quickly moves towards the depths of the cave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The footsteps behind him were very noisy, as if there were more than a dozen people chasing him, Mi Xiaodong was not familiar with the terrain here, he could only observe while walking, if he rashly turned back, in such a narrow and dark tunnel, he would never be the opponent of those people behind, this point, Mi Xiaodong himself was very clear.

The people behind were far more familiar with the terrain in the tunnel than Mi Xiaodong, and the speed of their pursuit was also very fast. Mi Xiaodong now only hopes that the flashlight's power can be maintained until he finds the exit, the tunnel is dug so deep, Mi Xiaodong believes that somewhere on the other end, there will definitely be an exit.

He tried his best to keep his pursuers at arm's length, his eyes searching for possible exits as far as his flashlight could reach, but there was a rock everywhere, and the cavern only stretched infinitely into the depths of darkness.

The light of the flashlight swept towards the rock wall of the cave from time to time in the process of running fast, and suddenly, something flashed from the corner of Mi Xiaodong's eyes, and before he could see what it was, Mi Xiaodong had already walked several steps away.

Urgently stopped, Mi Xiaodong turned around and used the flashlight to shine again in the direction he had just seen, the expression on his face was slightly stunned, and then he continued to run forward, not lingering, as if he was not interested in what he found.

However, it was obvious that Mi Xiaodong had slowed down a little at this time, and was closer to the rock wall, and his hands were attached to the wooden frames on both sides from time to time, as if he was listening to something.

In such a cave, even the slightest sound would be particularly loud due to the rebound of the rock wall, ignoring the messy footsteps behind him, Mi Xiaodong carefully distinguished other sounds except for the footsteps, but the flashlight seemed to focus on the road ahead, no longer shining above the rock wall.

The round light of the flashlight seemed to be weaker than just now, and gradually Mi Xiaodong began to breathe a little, and he even stopped to rest from time to time, with a somewhat desperate look on his face.

Everything in the cave seems even more mysterious, and it seems that even the footsteps of you chasing me have become never-ending. In the darkness, there were some more sounds that were wrong, and the terrifying atmosphere became thicker and thicker, which was suffocating.

Suddenly, the stumbling footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and after a few seconds of pause, a breathtaking shout erupted from the cavern and the dull sound of something falling heavily on the rock. Then there were bursts of bitter invective and moaning.

After everything calmed down for a long time, there were many flashlights illuminating a certain ground in the depths of the cave at the same time, and under the light, a person fell to the ground in a semi-suspended manner, with a painful expression on his face, and then looked closely, this person was not Mi Xiaodong, but Xu Jianlin, who led the farmers to pursue Mi Xiaodong.

Immediately, someone exclaimed: "Brother Jianlin, you, how could you be like this?" ”

"Hands! My hand!! Xu Jianlin let out a scream like killing a pig.

It was then that everyone noticed his incongruous posture and the hand that rose upward. Looking up along his arm, Xu Jianlin's hand was actually stuck in the gap of the wooden frame close to the rock wall, and it had been completely broken, hanging most of his body in a strange posture, and it was estimated that the bones inside were completely broken, leaving only the flesh at the wrist barely maintaining the state of connection, no wonder Xu Jianlin was so painful.

The young peasants panicked all of a sudden, none of them dared to touch Xu Jianlin's hand, and looked at each other. Until a roar came from behind: "What are you doing in a daze, don't chase after it!" ”

This roar came from Lao Xu, he finally caught up with this group of people, he was already tired and out of breath, Lao Xu knew very well that the force of these people was not comparable to a well-trained criminal police like Mi Xiaodong, and now he had the advantage of being outnumbered, so Mi Xiaodong did not dare to clash with them head-on.

If you don't catch up quickly, Mi Xiaodong escaped from the cave to find the rescuers, everything will be too late, and now the foot of the mountain is still blocked by the criminal police, although this cave leads to the back mountain of L Mountain, but as long as you go around the foot of the mountain, you can find a place with a lot of people.

Hearing Lao Xu's order, a few young peasants who reacted a little faster immediately spread their legs and continued to chase forward, and after they chased out, Lao Xu felt that things were not so simple, because Mi Xiaodong's footsteps could not be heard in front of him at all.

Did he run away? No, it can't be, it's still a long way from the exit, and in such a short time, he can't run so much that he can't even hear the sound of footsteps. Lao Xu calmed himself down and thought.

Where, then, would he be? ’

Lao Xu's eyes gradually raised to the hole above the rock wall, which was the 'secret' they had specially dug here, so that they could get out smoothly once they were chased by the police.

There are not many of these holes, but each of them is connected by an exit and an entrance, and they can transfer their position through these holes in the process of escaping from pursuit, so that the police can temporarily be unpredictable, which is also a method that Lao Xu came up with by himself.

Just now, Xu Jianlin used this hole in order to go around to Mi Xiaodong, although he successfully stopped Mi Xiaodong, but Mi Xiaodong inadvertently discovered the secret of the hole on the rock, peeked through the 'heavenly machine', and missed.

In the case of Mi Xiaodong's preparation, how could Xu Jianlin be his opponent, in Lao Xu's opinion, he was lucky that he was not shot down.

Beckoning to the rest of the people around him, Lao Xu motioned for everyone to lean forward and try not to make a sound. Then, he picked up a stone from the ground, pointed his flashlight at the rock wall, and began to carve something on the rock wall.

Several people standing on the periphery squatted down and helped Xu Jianlin's hand break away from the crack in the wood, and Xu Jianlin's continuous howl sounded on the ground, echoing in the hole, very poignant and terrifying.

Lao Xu was depicting and gesturing to tell the young people around him what to do, this person was indeed an old fox, and he felt that after Mi Xiaodong defeated Xu Jianlin, he must not have continued to move forward, but entered the hole that Xu Jianlin used to raid him.

The reason for such a certainty is that one is that Mi Xiaodong's footsteps are no longer heard in the cave, and the other is Xu Jianlin's gaze, which has been looking at the hole above the rock wall, although he is so painful that he can't speak, but his eyes are staring at the place where he came out, Lao Xu thinks that this is a hint to himself.

Xu Jianlin was finally freed from the restraints, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, the cold sweat did not stop, the whole person trembled violently, and one hand was completely twisted and deformed.

The two people supported him on the left and the right, Lao Xu signaled him not to speak, he understood, he asked the two people who supported Xu Jianlin to stay and guard him, and sent two strong young men to get into the hole in the wall one after the other to block Mi Xiaodong's back road.

Because Lao Xu is very familiar with the small passage on this wall, it is to go back, that is to say, if Mi Xiaodong goes in, it is only possible to detour to their rear, but it is also impossible to go out from the original road, because Xu Jianlin's uncle Xu Dazhou is guarding the backyard with people, and Mi Xiaodong is not so easy to get out.

Lao Xu looked around him, there were still three or four people left, he was silent, and the three or four people immediately took off their shoes, and ran back along the hole in the ground wearing only socks, they were going to block Mi Xiaodong's way out. As for taking off his shoes, it was all to reduce the sound of footsteps, in case Mi Xiaodong found out in advance.

And Lao Xu himself, after leaving a sentence for people to take care of Xu Jianlin, he slowly groped towards the rock wall on the other side, he looked for it inch by inch along the opposite rock wall, there is a small hole that he dug himself, no one knows, and only one person can enter and exit, but this small hole can reach the foot of the mountain at the fastest speed, Lao Xu's purpose is not to use it to intercept Mi Xiaodong in person, but to have the heart to escape.

He knew that if this continued, the village would end sooner or later, Lao Zhang seemed to have run away, if he stayed, he could only kill himself, even if they succeeded in killing Mi Xiaodong today, they could only delay for a while. When the police find out that Mi Xiaodong is missing, they will definitely send people to the village to look for them, and it is only a matter of time before they grasp the facts of their crimes.

If you don't take advantage of this time to leave first, you won't be able to leave later, and you have been lying that your children are working abroad, in fact, your children have long been sent abroad by him with the money obtained from drug trafficking, as long as you run abroad, you will be safe, in Lao Xu's thoughts, he regards going abroad as the best way to avoid responsibility.

In order to escape at any time, Lao Xu sewed the bankbook card and passport into his clothes pocket, he made up his mind, and after going out, while the police had not blocked the village, he first took out all the money, and then directly bought a plane ticket to go abroad.

Crawling along the crooked small passage inside the rock wall, Lao Xu listened to the movement outside, he hoped that those people outside could block Mi Xiaodong and buy him more time, in fact, the fear and uneasiness in Lao Xu's heart had reached its peak, no criminal would not feel afraid in such a situation, even if he paved the way for himself, but the crime would make the criminals feel extremely frightened anytime and anywhere like a barbaric procession. (Note: The barbaric procession, the name mentioned by a well-known German writer of mystery novels, here refers to the condemnation of conscience.) ）

Advancing in the narrow passage that can only barely crawl, Lao Xu felt suffocated for a while, his attention has been focused on the actions of those people outside, not that he himself particularly wants to pay attention, but he can't help but think about what they did to the police, after all, it is an attack on the police, Lao Xu knows how big this crime is, and he does this, which is tantamount to ruining the lives of those young people for the rest of their lives.

Lao Xu prayed in his heart, his sins in this life are too heavy, God willing, even if he wants to be retribution, he will wait until he dies or in the next life......

Before the prayer in his heart was completed, there was a faint sound of fighting behind him, and there were fierce shouts of people, Lao Xu's whole person trembled violently, gritted his teeth, and didn't think about the safety of those people in the village, and crawled towards the exit with his hands and feet at an accelerated speed.

――

Xie Yunmeng woke up from the coma slowly, originally thought that he must have fallen and injured his bones, but he didn't expect that his body was not in much pain, he raised his body suddenly, and immediately heard a small scream beside him.

After the scream, a man's timid words rang in his ears: "You... You okay? ”

"Where are we?" Xie Yunmeng asked thoughtlessly, and then he found that he was still hanging in mid-air, but his waist and wrists were tightly wrapped around the vines.

Fortunately, the waist was also wrapped around the vine, otherwise, his arm alone would have been useless to hold the weight of two men.

Xie Yunmeng asked, "You tied it up?" ”

"I noticed that most of the vines around me were very strong, so I tied them around your waist, and I didn't know what to do, but anyway, you saved me...... I can't be ungrateful and leave you ......alone," Cheng Chu tried to explain, he wanted to leave a good impression on Xie Yunmeng from the bottom of his heart.

The previous attack was completely out of fear, and Cheng Chu hoped that he could make up for something now. Moreover, for crime, having experienced the test of despair and death, he also decided to confess to Xie Yunmeng. If you want to go to jail, you can go to jail, it's better than running around outside and living a hard life.

Cheng Chu finally overcame his fear and selfishness, and he decided to atone for Xie Yunmeng's sacrifice and become a new man.

"Thank you." Xie Yunmeng said simply, but Cheng Chu was confused. The man who was still nestled in Xie Yunmeng's arms raised his head in surprise.

Xie Yunmeng didn't look at him either, and said that thank you was out of instinct, probably because Cheng Chu didn't abandon himself and climb up along the vine.

Now that he has woken up, it is time to act, Xie Yunmeng roughly judged the distance up and down the cliff, and felt that they had fallen a long distance, and now they still had a life on their bodies, so it would be easier to go down than to climb up, and it should be faster.

"You climbed on my back and held on." Xie Yunmeng gave a simple order, and moved his body, so that Cheng Chu could transfer his position more conveniently.

One hand was already numb, Xie Yunmeng let go of the vines wrapped around his wrist, and tried to see if the wrapping around his waist could pull the two of them, and after feeling that there was no problem for the time being, Xie Yunmeng completely let go of the hand above, and after finding a prominent support point on the cliff wall with his two feet, he first supported Cheng Chu and let him lie on his back smoothly.

Then he moved his numb hand a few times, Xie Yunmeng had never slackened his training in normal times, so his muscles and strength were maintained very well.

When his arm felt a tingling sensation and was able to move, Xie Yunmeng didn't want to waste any more time, he still had to go back to save Xiao Yao, so he used the hand that had recovered his mobility to hold the cliff, and the other hand began to search for available vines.

At the same time, he didn't forget to take care of Cheng Chu and grasped it, Cheng Chu hugged his chest tightly with both hands, feeling the strength of this man's muscles, Cheng Chu's heart beat like a drum.

It was the first time he had such a feeling, although he knew that he would not be able to respond to this kind of thought in his life, but Cheng Chu was happier than getting the money, and he didn't quite understand why this was happening, Cheng Chu just enjoyed this moment of happiness, and even hoped that time could pass a little slower.

Although the vines between the cliffs were thick, most of them had been blown away by the storm, and every time Xie Yunmeng climbed down a little, he had to search for a long time to find a suitable vine to use as a drawstring. In addition, Xie Yunmeng had a hand injury, so their climbing speed was unusually slow.

Cheng Chu kept stretching out his hand and using his sleeve to wipe the sweat from Xie Yunmeng's forehead and the muddy water that fell from the branches and leaves onto his face.

The sky was already slightly bright, it was about ten in the morning of May 5th, but the feet were still bottomless, Xie Yunmeng's muscles were tense, and he moved down with all his strength, and it didn't take long for the sweat to soak through his clothes, and the wheezing sound was gradually getting worse.

After all, with a person on his body, and he was climbing a slippery and vertical cliff, Xie Yunmeng had no bottom in his heart, so he could only take one step at a time. He was still worried about Yun Yeyao on the mountain, hoping that Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong were really not involved in the murder as they said.

In this way, the two of them moved between the cliffs little by little, threatening to lose their lives at any time.

After a long time, Xie Yunmeng felt that his two arms were so sore that they seemed to fall off, he looked down and looked down, but he still couldn't see the ground below, Xie Yunmeng felt that his strength was gradually draining, and he had to stop and recover.

Hearing the heavy gasping sound of the man in front of him, Cheng Chu felt a sense of worry, if this continues, both of them are in danger of dying.

He secretly relaxed his hands that were holding Xie Yunmeng's chest, wanting to jump down while Xie Yunmeng was not paying attention, so that he would not have to bother this kind man.

However, just as Cheng Chu's hands let go a little, Xie Yunmeng immediately shouted, "What are you doing?!" Don't you want to die?!! ”

The hoarse roar made Cheng Chu so frightened that he quickly tightened his hands, and he trembled and said, "I...... We're both going to ...... like this."

Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Xie Yunmeng, he said: "No matter what, you can't give up your life, go down the mountain alive to atone for your sins, you and Jiang Xinglong have the possibility of reuniting after breaking the mirror, do you want to give up his love for you?" ”

Until now, Xie Yunmeng still regards Cheng Chu as Liang Yongxin, the owner of the Luoque House, although Cheng Chu was mentioned in Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong's analysis, but they all think that Cheng Chu has died in the Luoque House, and even Yun Yeyao thinks so, so Xie Yunmeng never thought that the person in front of him might be someone other than Liang Yongxin. And he always had a trace of doubts about Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong, of course he would not accept all their reasoning.

But from his words, Cheng Chu heard the clue, it turned out that this person had always mistaken himself for Liang Yongxin, although he was indeed very similar, but he thought that this person had discovered his identity.

Cheng Chu hesitated whether to tell Xie Yunmeng his true identity, and after hesitating repeatedly, his conscience still prevailed, so Cheng Chu opened his mouth and said, "Actually...... My name is Cheng Chu. ”

"What?" Xie Yunmeng was so shocked that he almost didn't grab the vine in his hand, and after he digested what Cheng Chu's words meant, he remembered that Jiang Xinglong had said that the person who seduced him at the door of the company in the past was called this name.

"So, you are the one who is pretending to be Liang Yongxin, is it Jiang Xinglong who brought you into the Luoque House?" Xie Yunmeng confirmed.

"Yes, but I didn't help Mr. Jiang, I helped the murderer."

"Who the hell is the murderer?"

"It was Buhe, it was he who killed everyone in the Bird's House, and he and Helina, who teamed up to deceive Feigu, and I was one of the participants."

"What is your purpose?" Xie Yunmeng asked.

"Buhe said that as long as he got the money from the Luoque House, he would take me back to Inner Mongolia, and I heard that his mother was from there, and ......"

"And what?!"

"And it seems that Buhe even killed his own mother before, I am not the first person to find him, the first people to know him were Fei Gu and He Mina, there seems to be a reporter, I don't know what his name is, this reporter has also done a lot of crimes before."

"Oh yes, it looks like this reporter also killed a guy in the hotel......"

"What? The people in the hotel were killed by Wei Gui? When Xie Yunmeng heard the reporter, he immediately remembered Wei Guigui.

"I, I don't know, at that time, Buhe asked me to pretend to be a hotel waiter, and let a mysterious person live in room 206 of the hotel, I only know to do what he says, but I really don't know exactly how they planned......"

The conversation made the atmosphere between the two people change subtly, and the sky was getting brighter and brighter at this moment, which also made Xie Yunmeng climb down a little easier, he no longer spoke, and listened to Cheng Chu's narration while acting, preparing to go down the mountain and wait for Yun Yeyao to save them, and then ask Mo Haiyou in detail together.

――

Mi Xiaodong didn't expect that his plan to take a roundabout strategy was actually seen through by those farmers, and now, facing the front and back attacks alone, Mi Xiaodong felt that he was afraid that he would be in a catastrophe today.

His hand touched the gun in his arms again, but Mi Xiaodong still didn't pick it up, until the last moment, Mi Xiaodong didn't want to hurt people anyway, those people were just forced to be anxious, if he could persuade them to turn himself in, it was the best way.

Out of the duties and instincts of a criminal policeman, facing the sharp knife that was attacking in front of him, Mi Xiaodong gave up the idea of using a gun for the second time, he hugged a person's arm sideways, knocked off the knife in his hand with a backhand, and kicked away another person who rushed up at the same time.

Quickly leaning into the corner, Mi Xiaodong used his fists and kicks at the same time, and then picked up the two people who rushed up, and then he grabbed a wooden stick as a weapon and kept a little distance from the others.

"Think about it, what you do is tantamount to intentional homicide, which can only aggravate your own crimes, and it is impossible to escape!" Mi Xiaodong defended while persuading the criminals in front of him.

"Anyway, it's a capital crime to be caught, so it's better to kill you and run away with your wife and children!" One of them retorted loudly, holding the murder weapon in his hand and wanting to rush towards Mi Xiaodong again.

Mi Xiaodong shouted to stop him, "None of you can be the main criminals of drug trafficking, if you confess your guilt well, there will be one day of freedom, fleeing with your wife and children can only aggravate your crimes, do you want to let your wife and children live a life of fear and unrest?" ”

This paragraph seemed to have played a role, and the impulsive people in front of them stopped moving, and they stared at Mi Xiaodong to listen to him.

"As long as you surrender to the police and confess who the mastermind is, you can still live a normal life with your wife and children after atoning for your crimes! But if you kill someone, you will destroy your only chance. ”

"Anyway, if you sell a huge amount of drugs, you will definitely be sentenced to death, what is the difference between this and murder? We've been doing it all these years, and we don't know how many drugs we've produced and transported, and if we're still alive?!! ”

"Production and handling? So how did you sell the drugs? ”

"We can't control this, it's all the big boss who is operating, we just do what he says, the big boss said that making drugs is a capital crime, and we have already given it up for money!!"

"You have all been deceived by him, and the law is divided into principal offenders and accomplices, and there is a big difference in conviction and sentencing. You really haven't dealt with the source and sale of drugs? ”

"How can we have this ability, we just listen to the big boss." The people around listened to Mi Xiaodong's words and gradually quieted down, after all, there were still wives and children, it was impossible for them not to be attracted by Mi Xiaodong's words.

"Who's the big boss?" Mi Xiaodong took the opportunity to ask.

"We don't know, only Lao Xu and Lao Zhang know."

"Lao Xu is the one who let me live in the village, right? What about Lao Zhang? ”

"Lao Zhang is in charge of the liaison between the village and the big boss, and he drives a taxi." One person replied that some people had already begun to believe what Mi Xiaodong said, if they could not die, and they could come out of prison to reunite with their wives and children one day, of course they would not want to commit murder.

"It turns out that Lao Zhang is ......" Mi Xiaodong instantly remembered the hotel homicide incident, the taxi driver who picked up Yun Yeyao on the evening of April 30, and was later taken by the police to the bureau to understand the situation and let go. Then he stopped at the door of the hotel at the time, which means that the Arden Hotel must have a connection with drug trafficking.

In order to show that he really didn't want to hurt them, Mi Xiaodong threw away the wooden stick in his hand and continued to ask: "Are the drug raw materials and processing equipment here all given to you by the big boss?" He taught you how to make drugs, right? ”

"Yes." Seeing Mi Xiaodong put down his weapon, the young peasants with knives and sticks also hesitated and lowered their raised hands.

At this time, a person suddenly asked: "Let's go and ask Lao Xu, isn't he here?" Usually he is giving us ideas, now let Lao Xu talk about it, what is going on!! ”

"Yes, yes!" Immediately remembered a response.

However, when they wanted to look for Lao Xu, they were stopped by Mi Xiaodong, who said, "I'm afraid you can't find him anymore." Did you dig this tunnel, or did Lao Xu dig it himself? ”

"Everyone helped dig it, but the direction of this hole and the small passages on the wall to deal with emergencies were all designed by Lao Xu, and we just did what he said."

"I'm afraid there is still a passage here that you don't know, I guess Lao Xu has already run away from there." Mi Xiaodong expressed his guess.

"Impossible!! Fast! Let's go back to him! His words made the villagers, who had always trusted Lao Xu very much, crazy again, and they became restless and said that they wanted to go back to Lao Xu.

In order to prove his words, Mi Xiaodong volunteered: "I'll go back with you, if Lao Xu really runs away, will you believe what I say and turn yourself in?" ”

"If we can do without the death penalty, of course we don't want to add to our own crimes, after all, we still have wives and children!" The villagers immediately responded to Mi Xiaodong's words, and they immediately took Mi Xiaodong back into the depths of the cave.

But until they saw Xu Jianlin who was injured and sitting on the ground, they didn't see Lao Xu's figure, and the villagers were really panicked this time, and they hurriedly asked Xu Jianlin and the two young men who took care of him, "Where did Lao Xu go?!! ”

"Old Xu? He's gone in the opposite direction! We thought he was going to call out to the boys who had run forward. ”

At this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the hole in front of him, and the villagers immediately shouted into the hole: "Hey! Is it Lao Xu?! ”

After a while, I heard a response from the depths of the cave: "I didn't see Lao Xu, we kept chasing the policeman, but he was long gone, there was no way, we had to come back first." ”

Sure enough, there was no Lao Xu, just the young farmers who were chasing forward just now. After a while, they were finally seen running from the depths of the cave. At the same time, they saw Mi Xiaodong, and they were really startled, and only relaxed after the villagers around Mi Xiaodong explained everything. At this time, everyone's suspicion of Lao Xu reached its peak.

Mi Xiaodong said at the right time: "Think about it, if there is no secret passage here that you don't know, then where did Lao Xu go?" There are people in front and behind, even if he has wings, he can't fly. Moreover, you have never wondered why only Lao Xu and Lao Zhang live alone, where are their children? I think the two of them should have been ready to abandon you and run away by themselves at the critical moment. ”

"These two old bastards!!" Xu Jianlin, who was sitting on the ground at this time, gritted his teeth fiercely and scolded, if he hadn't listened to Lao Xu's words, he wouldn't have wasted a hand, Xu Jianlin was of course the most resentful of these people.

After a period of noisy shouting, Mi Xiaodong knew that he had gained the initial trust of these people, so he asked, "Do you know where this mountain road leads?" ”

"It leads to the foot of that mountain!" One of them replied.

"Well, I think Lao Xu must have fled there, I'll chase him, I hope you will think about it, take the evidence in the village and surrender to the police, and strive for leniency." Mi Xiaodong finally said earnestly that only surrendering is the only way out for the villagers in this village, and Mi Xiaodong is really thinking about them.

After getting the nod of promise from the villagers, Mi Xiaodong rushed in the direction they pointed out, he believed that these villagers still had a conscience and a moral bottom line.

However, what he didn't expect was that Lao Xu, who had escaped, actually came back, and under Lao Xu's instigation and deception, the villagers actually raised the criminal butcher's knife for the second time, and this time, they really almost took the lives of Mi Xiaodong and Xie Yunmeng, who was about to meet him.

When Mi Xiaodong left the villagers, it was already the afternoon of May 5, and Xie Yunmeng and Cheng Chu were at the foot of the mountain directly behind Luoque House at this moment, and they encountered an accident and were in a predicament......
