Chapter IX Cooperation
"Who are you?"
The sudden sound seemed a little abrupt in the silence of the earth. Lin Lin didn't know how to answer for a moment, and Xia Chuyin asked them rhetorically: "Who are you?" ”
The other party was silent in an instant, Lin Lin took advantage of this moment to look at the other party with the faint light of the flashlight, just now he instantly subdued himself was a tall and thin person, who looked very sensitive, and the person who subdued Xia Chuyin was not very tall, but very strong, and it seemed that he could faintly see his bulging muscles, and the person who spoke just now was the third person who came out of the shadows, although this person had no characteristics, but he exuded a powerful aura, and seemed to be the leader of the team.
The man in the darkness took a few steps closer, Xia Chuyin raised the flashlight in his hand, and suddenly let out an exclamation: "Uncle Liang, it's you." ”
The man named Uncle Liang turned on the flashlight and shone on Xia Chuyin's face, and sneered: "I said which little girl dared to run to Yinshan, it turned out to be the granddaughter of Xia Laogui." ”
Uncle Liang waved his hand, and the two of them instantly let go of Lin Lin and Xia Chuyin, Lin Lin twisted his stiff limbs and walked behind Xia Chuyin.
Xia Chuyin smiled: "Why did Uncle Liang come to Yinshan too?" ”
Uncle Liang didn't seem to want to talk to them more, waved his hand and said, "Don't ask more, Yinshan is not a place for you children to play, where do you come from." ”
Xia Chuyin blinked and said, "The way we came down was trampled by you, Uncle Liang, and we can't go back now." ”
Uncle Liang glanced at her, and suddenly sat aside and smoked.
The two of them didn't dare to ask more, just waited on the side, and Uncle Liang finished smoking a cigarette before he spoke: "I came down with five guys before, and now only Ah Bao and Ganzi, who have the best skills, are left." ”
Uncle Liang's words seemed to be talking to himself, so people couldn't hear what was in them, Lin Lin boldly asked, "Uncle Liang, what is down here?" ”
Uncle Liang gave him a blank look: "You ask me, and I ask who to go." ”
Xia Chuyin suddenly laughed, which made Lin Lin stunned for a while, only to hear her ask: "Uncle Liang, it turns out that you are also trapped underground." ”
Uncle Liang seemed to be a little angry, but he didn't speak, as if he was hit by what she said, and there was no reason to be angry. Xia Chuyin continued: "Since we are all trapped, we might as well cooperate temporarily, Uncle Liang, what do you think?" ”
Uncle Liang sneered: "I've been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I still need to cooperate with you two juniors?" ”
Xia Chuyin seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and unhurriedly pushed Lin Lin in front of him and said, "The junior you are talking about is Lin Jiuye's grandson, Uncle Liang, you can do it yourself." ”
Uncle Liang glanced up at him, and there seemed to be a hint of incredulity in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll see what Lin Jiuye's grandson is capable of." ”
Lin Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know what his grandfather Lin Jiu Ye had any skills, but he knew everything about himself, that is, he didn't have any skills.
Xia Chuyin also seemed to be very satisfied with the alliance, and said, "Since we have cooperated, Uncle Liang might as well talk about his plan." ”
Uncle Liang said: "Originally, I planned to go up the underground river to return to the surface, but as we have seen just now, the river water flows out of the rock crevices and does not lead to the ground. ”
Hearing this, Lin Lin and Xia Chuyin's faces were a little ugly, the method they came up with before had already been thought of, and it had been confirmed that it was not feasible.
Xia Chuyin asked, "Then Uncle Liang, what are you going to do?" ”
"Then it's just a matter of going down the underground river." When Uncle Liang said this, he was also a little hesitant, after all, none of them knew where the underground river led, and they didn't have much food in reserve, plus Lin Lin and Xia Chuyin joined them almost empty-handed, it was still unknown whether they could hold on underground for a few days.
Xia Chuyin is a resolute woman, she thought about it a little, and then agreed to Uncle Liang's proposal, and a group of five people marched along the underground river.
Lin Lin always wanted to ask Uncle Liang what happened, he was missing three guys, and he had to blow up a hole to escape, but since Xia Chuyin never mentioned it, he didn't want to ask on purpose.
As they walked farther and farther along the underground river, the tunnels began to narrow, and they had to bend over to pass through them, and when the river widened, they had to walk in the water, but fortunately they only had to walk on the edge of the river, and the river was only ankle-high.
I don't know if it's because it's underground, Lin Lin felt that the river water seemed to be extraordinarily cold, and he thought he was too nervous, but he heard Ah Leopard behind him complain: "Damn this water is really cold." ”
"It's groundwater, so it's naturally cooler." Liang Xing walked in the front, not even looking back, only urging a few people to leave quickly.
The group walked for more than ten minutes or so, and suddenly stopped, the tunnel was already very narrow, Lin Lin couldn't see the situation in front of him, so he had to ask Xia Chuyin why she stopped, and she was also very difficult to see that the road in front of her had been blocked. Lin Lin exclaimed: "Then what's the class, aren't we blocked in here." ”
"Not necessarily." Liang Xing immediately vetoed his words, "There are many gaps in this wall, and they have been eroded by flowing water all year round, and the ground is soft, as long as there is a hammer, you can smash a way." ”
Lin Lin was skeptical of his words, and at this time, Ganzi behind him stabbed him and handed over a hammer, Lin Lin was stunned, took it and handed it to Xia Chuyin, and finally arrived in Liang Xing's hand.
Liang Xing asked everyone to retreat a little, and then raised the hammer and smashed it, the rocks on the wall fell down in a slump, he went down with a hammer, and a deep pit had been smashed, and several people rotated all the way, until a tunnel of ten or twenty meters was smashed out, until the last hammer fell down, and a deep pit appeared on the wall.
The five of them crawled out of the hole in ecstasy, this was another tunnel, but it was much better than the tunnel they had just smashed out.
They didn't care too much, they just fell to the ground to rest, and after recovering their strength, they ate some dry food.
Xia Chuyin asked at this time: "The tunnels here are intertwined, Uncle Liang, what do you think is underground." ”
Liang Xing glanced at her and said, "Didn't Old Ghost Xia tell you?" If you don't know, how can you come all the way? ”
Hearing what he said, it seemed that he didn't trust the two of them and was unwilling to reveal the information he knew, Xia Chuyin smiled bitterly: "The old man really didn't say it, the reason why we came here is that my brother also came here before I received the tip. ”
"Oh? Your brother? Liang Xing seemed to be a little energetic, "Is that Xia Moling's stinky boy?" Among the younger generation, only that kid has some ability. ”
Xia Chuyin said: "My brother never tells me about things, and the old man never wants to say more, so I really don't know anything, if Uncle Liang knows something, I hope not to hide it." ”
Liang Xing glanced at Lin Lin again and asked, "That stinky boy is Lin Jiuye's grandson, can he not know?" ”
Lin Lin was about to answer, but Xia Chuyin hurriedly said: "As far as I know, Lin Jiuye entrusted the plan to his two sons before, and now that both of them have disappeared, Lin Lin has just been involved in this matter, and he knows the least things." ”
Liang Xing looked at the two people repeatedly, as if trying to figure out the credibility of their words.
Lin Lin had to try his best to look innocent, but at this time he suddenly felt some itching on his back, Lin Lin scratched his backhand, a piece of hard object was in his hand, he looked back, what he was holding in his hand was a piece of hand bone, Lin Lin was suddenly frightened and jumped up and hid behind Xia Chuyin.
Seeing his performance, Ah Leopard laughed very Ganzi, and Ganzi also laughed at him: "It's just a dead man's bones, and I'm so scared that I hide behind a woman." ”
Lin Lin felt a little hot on his face, and retorted: "Obviously, I didn't have it when I came out just now, but it just surprised me when it suddenly appeared." ”
Liang Xing walked over and took a look, the hand bone just stretched out from the place where they had smashed the gravel just now, and Lin Lin could sit down, just being touched on his back. "Dig him out." Liang Xing turned back to Ah Bao and Ganzi and said.
The two men immediately took out of their bags and folded the sapper shovel, and dug up, and the two men were young and strong, and in a short time they dug out a whole white skeleton.
Uncle Liang looked at the white bones a few times and said, "At least I've been dead for almost twenty years." ”
"Master Liang, look." Leopard dug out an old-fashioned leather bag from the rubble. Liang Xing took it, opened the bag and poured out all the contents inside, only a worn-out notebook and a piece of jade with a unique shape.
Liang Xing opened the notebook, many pages in it had been soaked, and it was almost impossible to see what was written, Xia Chuyin asked, "Uncle Liang, what is written in it." ”
Liang Xing flipped through it a few times, shook his head, and said, "I can only see that it is probably the action notes recorded by the people who came down before." ”
Lin Lin suddenly remembered that he had read a novel before, could it be that he was in a tomb at this time, this was the person who came down to rob the tomb before, but he came all the way, except for those huge stone chambers with human faces, they were all natural karst caves, and there were no traces of artificial excavation, and it was not very similar to say that it was a tomb.
Xia Chuyin picked up the jade again, there were strange lines on the jade, but she couldn't see what it was for a while, she held the jade in front of Uncle Liang and asked, "Uncle Liang, can you see what this thing is?" ”
Liang Xing didn't seem to have much interest in this, just glanced at it and shook his head, and beckoned Ah Bao and Ganzi to bury the corpse and let him be buried in the ground.
Xia Chuyin pulled Lin Lin aside and whispered: "I see that the hand bone was not stretched out because of a coincidence, he must have something to explain, look at this thing." With that, he handed the piece of jade to Lin Lin.
Lin Lin took it, looked at the lines on the jade, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his eyes.
