Chapter 13: The Underground River

I couldn't see their faces clearly, but I recognized the voice that had just spoken, it was the same Uncle Tai we were following earlier.

I secretly screamed in my heart, these are all outlaws, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck if they fall into their hands, this kind of place is simply the best place to kill people, and I am afraid that the corpse will not be found for hundreds of years.

The man behind me put a gun to my head, made me crouch, and said, "Don't fucking move, move and I'll smash your head." โ€

I turned my head to look at him, and I saw a big man with a big scar on his face glaring at me and pinning me to the ground.

Uncle Tai glanced at us, shook his head, and said to the big one: "I said Ermazi, you can't be polite, these two little dolls are more than you may do, you don't know anything at their age, put the gun away." โ€

Ermazi grinned, put the pistol back into his belt, and stepped aside.

I looked at the Uncle Tai, I didn't know what tricks he was playing, but he didn't come to see us, squatted down and touched the iron ring, and said to a person next to him: "Boss Wang, do you think this is this place?" โ€

A middle-aged man who was a little fat squatted down with difficulty, took out a book and looked at it, and said, "That's right, this is this place, I can't imagine that it is indeed good and objectively hidden." โ€

Uncle Tai gave Er Mazi a look, Er Mazi nodded and squinted, and went to open the stone door, Uncle Tai turned to us, took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to Lao Itch, and asked, "Little doll, what did you just say?" โ€

The old itch was frightened enough, took the cigarette tremblingly and shrunken, and said, "... Actually, it's nothing, just some porcelain and bronze......"

"Oh?" Uncle Tai lit a cigarette for him, and Shuang asked, "What age is that tomb?" โ€

The old itch said at a loss: "That'...... Actually, I don't know ....... I look from the Qing Dynasty, because the zongzi has a hat like a hat and a braid. โ€

"Oh. A hat-like hat? Uncle Tai stood up, took a few steps back and forth thoughtfully, and asked another person: "Master Liang, is there such a burial method in the tomb?" โ€

The man was hiding in the dark, and I couldn't see what he looked like. I heard a rather young voice say, "No." โ€

"None? What age is this tomb that the little doll is talking about? โ€

Master Liang thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know, I have to go and see it." โ€

Uncle Tai stood up and walked to the side of Er Mazi. By this time, the stone door on the ground had been turned up, revealing a one-meter-wide entrance, dark and gloomy, and there seemed to be a very steep stone staircase leading to the bottom. I could smell a strange smell coming up from below, something familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was.

Er Mazi shone a flashlight, and wanted to climb down, but was stopped by Uncle Tai, he pointed at me with his chin, and said to Er Mazi: "You have no brains? How dare you break into this nameless place? Let this little baby go down first. โ€

When I heard this, I knew that he wanted to take me to the thunder, and I cursed in my heart.

For them, Lao Itch used to guard the ancient tomb, and it might be useful to keep it, but I was stunned, and it didn't matter if I died. At this time, Lao Itch nodded at me and whispered, "It's okay, just go down." โ€

I felt a little relieved in my heart, and when I saw the two pockmarks coming over to pull me, I waved my hand and said to them, "Don't touch me, I'll go down by myself!" After speaking, he tied the flashlight to his hand, supported his hands on one side, and cautiously poked down with his feet first, the stone steps below were quite stable, I stepped on a few feet, and knew that what Lao Itch said was right, this road was safe.

I took a deep breath and took a photo with a flashlight, and found that it was an almost straight mine, so deep that I couldn't see the bottom, and I don't know why it was a little slippery on the green stone walls around it. But there was no water down there, so I didn't know where the moisture came from.

I wanted to go down, but Uncle Tai patted me on the head, handed me a whistle, and said, "When it's low, blow it, and if you can't hear it for half an hour, I'll kill your buddy." โ€

I knew that he was afraid that I would run away by myself, so I sneered in my heart, took the whistle to the old ancestor, and shrank my head and went down the tunnel.

The almost straight steps were very difficult to climb, they were not careful when they dug them, some shallow and some deep, most of them could only step on a small half of a foot, I went down a dozen steps, and I began to gasp, and my toes began to hurt. After about sixty steps down, my feet began to show signs of drawing, so I had to stop and rest.

At this time, I looked up, the stone door above had become a small square point of light, the surrounding darkness squeezed like ink, I saw a few faint shadows flickering on it, obviously they kept looking at me, secretly thinking in their hearts: now the old itch is in their hands, at least before reaching the ancient tomb, he is safe, but it is difficult for me to say, although I have not killed me now, but there are still more opportunities to go to the thunder, the old itch said that there must be strange things below here, and it is not a way to go on like this.

All I have now is the advantage of time to get to the bottom before them, if I can make some preparations in these few minutes, maybe I can reverse the whole situation, the question is is what I can use below?

It's useless to think about it, it's better to go down quickly, the sooner I go down, the more time I have.

I thought about continuing to climb, and after ten minutes, the trend of the mine road changed, and gradually began to appear angles, and the stairs were easy to climb, and I saw that the rocks in this section had obviously turned reddish-brown sรจ, and there were many small anti-shรจ on it, knowing that they had encountered rock jฤซng, this kind of stone was probably granite, and there was some mica in it, which was very hard, and they changed the direction of the mine road, probably trying to avoid this rock jฤซng.

I continued to descend along the gradually slowing down the mine, and found that this rock jฤซng was not ordinarily long, so that the steepness of the mine road had been slowing down, and finally it was a parallel trend, walking, I vaguely heard the sound of water further down the mine road, after a few bends, the sound of water became louder, it sounded like thousands of horses galloping, as if there was a waterfall under this low.

I guess if I go any further, the whistle won't be heard above. I had to take out the whistle and blow it a few times first, and the sound transmission effect of the mine tunnel was very good. The sound swirled all the way up, and soon, a whistle echoed from above. I knew that these individuals would immediately follow, immediately turn around, and continue to walk down.

After going down more than ten meters, the mine road has completely calmed down, and I can walk down comfortably like a staircase, the sound of the water here is already very loud, and from time to time a warm current blows from the bottom of the mine. With a strong smell of sulfur, I was very surprised, could there be such a thing here, impossible. It's not a volcano.

I continued on with doubts in mind. Suddenly, the edge of the mine road in front of me widened, and I walked a few steps, and a strong wind blew in front of me, which almost blew me down, and I raised my hand and shone my flashlight, and found myself in a natural cave.

This cave is about the width of a basketball court, about five or six meters high, and it stretches infinitely on the left and right sides, and I don't know where it leads. It's more of an underground passage than a cave. There is no bell on the top of the cave, but the stones around it have become very smooth after years of washing, and I look at the scale of the cave and know that it was not dug by hand. The whole cave bottom is an underground river, the water flow is very turbulent, just now I heard the huge sound of water on it, because the cave structure here is like a megaphone, the sound of the flowing water is amplified, I walked to the middle, found that the water temperature is quite high, a little unable to go down, and the further I go the deeper the water, a few steps to my knees, so I quickly retreated.

This should be a rock vein, just like the blood vessels in the human body, is the blood vessels of the mountain, I can't imagine that this ore eye actually hit the rock vein directly, it is really an unfortunate coincidence, the old itch must have come out of the underground river along the rock vein, I looked at both sides, and found that the underground river channel of the two countries seems to be showing a trend of contraction, in the middle of the river on the left, there seems to be something, but I stand on the side, the flashlight can't hit that side, and I vaguely feel that it is a person.

At a strange time, Er Mazi had already walked out of the mine with a strange scream, stepped on the water, and shouted: "I'm cฤo, so hot!" โ€

I looked back and saw another young man walking out after him, this person was wearing a pair of glasses, and he looked like a crepe, it should be the Liang master, when he approached, I realized that this person was actually a little older, not as young as he looked at from afar. The third one who came out was an old itch, followed by a middle-aged man who was a little blessed, and then Uncle Tai, I thought there should be another person behind, but I found that no one followed, and I wondered, when I entered the mountain, weren't they five people?

Several of them all turned on their flashlights, and several pillars of light swept back and forth in the rock veins, and Master Liang shouted: "Yo He, this is not a rock vein, it's still warm, this is rare." โ€

Er Mazi took a few steps into the water, frowned and retreated, and said to those people: "It's quite deep, Uncle Tai, it's hard to walk here, it's not easy to flow." โ€

Uncle Tai glanced at the old itch and said with a smile: "Little baby, you said you came out of here, how did you come out?" Swim out? โ€

Lao Itch was a little frightened by him, and hurriedly said: "There are two iron locks under the water, just keep touching the iron locks!" So saying, he hurriedly ran to the front, felt in the water, and immediately pulled a black iron chain about the thickness of his wrist out of the water, and shouted, "This is it." โ€

Er Mazi walked over and pulled a few times, but he couldn't pull it, and glanced at the one in front of him with a little anxiety, and said: "Uncle Tai, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take the waterway like this, the pipa died so much just now...... If we run into that thing again, we'll have to give it all an account. โ€

Master Liang touched the water and said, "It's okay, the water here is so hot, there will definitely be no fish, and some are simmered." โ€

Er Mazi grinned, didn't seem to believe it, and asked, "Really?" โ€

Master Liang patted him on the shoulder, and just about to say something, suddenly a huge wave exploded in the water behind Er Mazi, and almost instantly, we were washed into the water and soaked. I yelled in my heart, I couldn't fucking encounter a super salmon, and in a panic, I turned the flashlight back to take a look, only to see a column of water rushing out of the water, hitting the roof of the cave, and the hot water turned into rain and fell down.

Master Liang was frightened and his face turned white, he sat in the water and trembled, I don't know if he has peed his pants, what is the person who has seen the wind and waves, when he stood up, he had already pulled out the gun in one hand, and shouted at Master Liang: "What the fuck is this!" โ€
