Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Unexpected Accident
The rain stopped earlier than predicted, and by midnight, it stopped. Two people in the team were worried about the situation of the robbery hole, so they couldn't wait to check the robbery hole, and after one of them fastened the safety rope, he used a flashlight, hung on the rope, and went into the underground thief hole to check the water below.
Who knows, the mound next to the robbery hole, after the impact of the rain, suddenly collapsed, directly pulled the rope on the ground, together with a large amount of soil into the robbery hole, buried two people alive in the robbery hole. Everyone who got the news immediately panicked, and everyone gathered around the cave to clean up the dirt, trying to save the people who were buried alive.
Time passed minute by minute, the previously buried thief hole has been dug into a deep pit, only then finally saw a shoe, everyone began to dig the soil with their hands, the first person was dragged up from it, the victim has a blue face, the nose and mouth are filled with mud, after everyone rescued for a long time, there is a faint breath. Others continue to dig up the earth and rescue another victim.
The eldest brother of the Liu family, who had the matchmaker's leprosy, frowned and said, "It's really moldy, something like this happened before the fight." Xiao Wang seems to be in danger of life, so he has to find someone to send him out of the mountain immediately and go to the county and city hospital for treatment. ”
Liu's younger brother looked at the person lying on the ground and said, "Big brother, they are all here to make a fortune, Doudu has already found out, who wants to spit out the fat in his mouth?" ”
The fat man was helping to dig up the soil to save people, and there were too many people for me to intervene, so I took care of the person who came up to save him. I heard the conversation of the Liu brothers and looked at the man lying on the ground. He was in his early forties, dark and thin, and he was unconscious with his eyes closed. It seems that the hospital will soon be out of breath.
I thought to myself: if I want to take this person down the mountain, unless someone with good physical fitness carries him down the mountain, or two people will have to carry him down the mountain. However, the journey down the mountain is long and rugged, and it takes a lot of time, so it should not be possible to send him to a nearby hospital in time, and it is estimated that his chances of survival are not very high.
And just as I was thinking. The other man was also rescued from the dirt, but he had stopped breathing, and muddy water was constantly flowing from his nose and mouth. Now we have to dig a pit on the spot and bury it.
At this time, everyone who had stopped digging gathered around the unconscious man on the ground, and I stood up. Pulling the fat man towards the woods. The fat man was forced forward by me, and couldn't help but ask me, "Lao Zheng, what are you going to do?" Without looking back, I replied, "Pee." ”
The fat man immediately said to me, "I'm not going, and I don't want to pee." After saying that, he wanted to shake off my hand, but I grabbed him tightly and gave him a look, and the fat man followed me quietly.
We came to a place where no one was. The fat man immediately asked me quietly, "Lao Zheng, what's the matter?" So mysterious? ”
I looked back and found that there was no one around, so I explained to the fat man: "These people are not good people, and I think the one who rescued them is also a burden, and I guess I won't survive." ”
The fat man didn't understand, and asked me, "What do you mean by that?" Can you be clear. ”
I had to patiently explain to him: "I think those people are ruthless people, and for the sake of money, they will choose the most convenient and quick way to solve trouble." ”
When the fat man heard this, his eyes immediately widened in understanding, and he stumbled: "You mean it"
I nodded, and then said to him, "That man's life, we can't save it." After a while, let's not separate, and we must walk behind them, so as not to make them think that we want to take the contents of the bucket. ”
The fat man was a little unconvinced and said: "Dare to do something to us, believe it or not, I will pinch them to death." ”
I said to the fat man, "Be careful, money doesn't matter, don't forget, the most important thing is to find medical books." ”
The fat man nodded after listening, I am actually not afraid that they will do something to the two of us, because we are not good stubble to be slaughtered, and there are smoke men to back up the two of us, although they are many and powerful, but I have many strategies and methods to clean them up, but before the fight, the relationship between each other must not be stiffened, and after the fight, we must rely on their own abilities, and see who will kill the deer in the end?
The fat man and I stayed in the woods for a while before we pretended to finish our hands and went back, but no one else cared about us, and we were all busy as if I were the fat man's air. I saw that the wounded on the ground were gone, but there were no fewer people around, and they all continued to dig near the cave, only the "resentful woman" sat on a big tree, looking up at the gray sky, and the cigarette man curled up and slept in the tent.
Neither I nor the fat man took the initiative to participate in the excavation, and no one cared about us anyway, so we could just lazy sleep, so we also curled up in the tent to rest. Outside the tent, it was getting darker, and my eyelids were getting heavier.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle shattered my already fragmented dreams, and the cigarette man suddenly stood up, grabbed the backpack on the ground and said to me and the fat man, "Bring your equipment." With that, he turned around and walked out of the tent without looking back.
The fat man and I hurriedly picked up our backpacks on the ground and climbed out of the tent. At this time, I saw that all the dozen people had gathered in front of the entrance of the robbery cave, including the resentful woman who had been sitting quietly in the tree.
The thief cave on the ground was a full circle larger than before, and the gray-white halo that penetrated through the woods could only shine not far below the cave entrance, and the visibility below was very low, and the depths were even more swarthy, and nothing could be seen, like a dark whirlpool. Someone had already nailed a thick stake to the hole and tied the rope to the stake securely.
The boss of the Liu family, who was a matchmaker, shouted "resentful woman", and everyone began to tie ropes around the resentful woman.
A pair of big-eyed and godless resentful women, still as if they had not woken up, waited until the rope was tied to his body, and then lay on the ground and looked intently into the thief cave for a moment.
I was puzzled and thought: the depths of the cave are pitch black. What can you see?
After reading it, the resentful woman listened for a moment, and finally sniffed the air in the cave with her nose. Only then did he hold a flashlight silently, hold the rope tightly with both hands, hang his body in the air, kick the earth wall of the thief hole with both feet, and bounce and swing the rope to land down.
When the rope disappeared about seven or eight feet, five whistles of different lengths came from under the thief hole, and the cigarette man next to me left and whispered two words to me: "Han Dynasty." ”
I sighed in my heart. Originally, this whistle was a code word, and the resentful woman under the thief cave was reporting to the people above: Below is a tomb of the Han Dynasty. But this resentful woman who looks like a schizophrenic. It's really powerful.,Just go down and you can know the age of the catacomb.,It doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.。 While I was still sighing, there was another long whistle below. Then there were two more short whistles. Then came the sound of a bird.
After listening to the whistle, the cigarette man first frowned, then turned his head sideways and whispered to me and the fat man, "Prepare to go to the grave." ”
The fat man and I couldn't understand the meaning of the whistle, and we were too embarrassed to ask. The people who came to the fight this time can be seen that all of them are masters, and it is estimated that I am compared with the fat man, what do I do. What do you eat, what kind of goods are wrapped there, and you can't even count as labor. At most, it acts as a mascot within the team, which is still a nice thing to say, or we are dispensable at best.
I had already been mentally prepared, wherever the smoke man's gun was pointed, I and the fat man would shoot, without asking much or saying much, and after entering the strange tomb, I would act at every opportunity.
The people on the ground began to tie ropes one by one and went down into the deep thief cave, and the fat man and I naturally came last. By the time we went down to the ground with flashlights, the others had already entered the tomb on the left, and only the cigarette man was still standing below waiting for us.
The robbery cave is open above a short tunnel, with a burial chamber door on the left side and an identical burial chamber door on the right.
The Liu brothers and others inserted torches at the entrance of the tomb on the left, and they had already entered the tomb on the left with flashlights.
The fat man and I also planned to walk into the tomb on the left, but we were stopped by the cigarette man, he dipped his fingers in some saliva, and then put his fingers in front of his eyes, and quietly closed his eyes to feel, and the fat man and I had to stand silently beside the cigarette man.
After a while, the people who walked into the tomb on the left all walked out again, all with disappointed looks on their faces.
The Liu brothers glanced at us, and then said to the smoke man with a forced smile: "Han Yan (the nickname of the smoke man, which was introduced earlier.) You're just coming down! The burial chamber on the left is empty, so let's go and look on the right now. ”
The smoke man nodded, and the others didn't say anything, they all followed behind the Liu brothers and began to walk into the tomb on the right.
Jiang Ye gave us a very strange look, and then walked into the tomb on the right.
The fat man muttered angrily, "What the hell?" ”
I tugged at the fat man's sleeve and motioned for him not to talk nonsense, and to go to the tomb on the right. Then the resentful woman staggered out of the tomb on the left, and when she found us, she said, "Have you just come down, why don't you go in?" ”
I smiled and replied, "Just about to go in." ”
The resentful woman looked very decadent and said, "Okay, let's go together!" ”
In this way, the four of us slowly walked into the burial chamber on the right. This is a typical stone room in the late Western Han Dynasty, there are two layers of raw soil around the ground, there is no coffin on the ground, and in front of the stone room, there is even a door opened. Those who had entered earlier had already passed through another stone door and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
Seeing that the stone room was empty, we flashed our flashlights and passed through the stone gate opposite.
As a result, after passing through the stone door, I found that there was still an empty stone room in front of me, and the same stone door was opened in front of it, but this stone room was obviously much smaller than the stone room just now.
Empty stone chambers appeared one after another, and I heard cursing in front of me.
The fat man couldn't help but ask me, "Lao Zheng, what's the situation?" Even if the burial utensils in the tomb decay to ashes, they will leave traces, could it be that people who have come in before have moved away even the coffins? ”
I looked into the depths of darkness and said to the fat man, "Who would have nothing to do and steal a bad and useless coffin, I think this is what it is, and it is deliberately made like this." ”
When the fat man heard this, he shouted sharply, "The old man who built this tomb can't be sick in the brain!" What's the use of having so many empty burial chambers? Even if it is to be used as a maze to prevent theft, there is only one passage to come and go, and it is not useful to confuse people, and this is not a fart without taking off your pants - it is useless. ”
I walked through one stone chamber after another, and thought to myself: there must be a reason why the underground burial chamber is like this, but we can't understand it. The wisdom of my predecessors was often unexpected, and I felt only inexplicable fear in the cold and dark stone room. And I saw the face of the smoke man next to me, it was also very gloomy and unsightly, these Han Dynasty stone chambers connected from end to end, maybe we have never seen a huge anti-theft facility, but we haven't touched the mechanism yet, maybe if you are not careful, all people will fall into inexplicable danger, and they will never be able to leave here.
What often seems like a safe place, the more dangerous it is! (To be continued......)
