Lantern Xiao, who strongly asked to go with me, continued to explain to me: "Don't get excited when I say this, the ancestral tomb belongs to your family, and I will never move, even if there is a mountain of gold hidden in it, I will not move a finger." But the ruins of the dungeon below are not your ancestral tomb, do you want to eat alone! I'll tell you, I know the location of the dungeon, and if you don't let me go, I can find it myself! ”

I know the purpose of Lantern Xiao's words, is there anything good down there, I don't know, but it's true that there is danger, Lantern Xiao is worried about my safety is also a good intention, I had to smile bitterly at the moment, "Okay, I've served you, while I still know the location of my second uncle, you come over as soon as possible, I'm worried about the long night and dreams!" ”

"Gotcha!" Lantern Xiao promised, "I'll buy a ticket now, and if it goes well, I'll be able to arrive at night!" You wait for me! ”

After hanging up the phone, I left the village and went straight to the county seat. If we want to go to the ground, we still have some necessary things to prepare! I can't help but laugh when I think about this, the last time we came, we didn't have the equipment to hold on to the Buddha's feet, and this time it's like this again!

While it was still early, I went to half of the county to buy a short knife, rope, gloves, lighters, some food, bandages, iodine and other first-aid medicines. To my surprise and surprise, I actually bought some cold fireworks at a wedding etiquette company! It's not quite the same as the ones we've used before, but it's better than nothing!

More than an hour has passed since I talked to Lantern Xiao just now, and I called Lantern Xiao again to determine his location, and he told me that he had gotten off at the train station in our city, and now he took a taxi to me, and it is estimated that it will take about 40 minutes to arrive. I can't help but feel that the development of transportation has shortened the distance between people.

I found a fast food restaurant, asked for a drink, sat in it to rest, and waited for the Lantern Festival. Look at the sky outside that is getting darker. Before you know it, there are already thousands of lights outside, and the streets are lit up. The last time I came here, it was during the Chinese New Year, and I sat here again after a while, although it was still the same situation, but I encountered so many incredible experiences in the middle, I made me think a lot of thoughts, and I felt the impermanence of fate!

Nearly an hour passed, during which Lantern Festival sent a text message asking me where I was. Shortly after I gave him the location, he showed up in front of the store.

Lantern Xiao scolded and sat opposite me, "I'll go!" The taxi I hailed at the train station was so dark! From the city railway station to here, a total of more than 30 kilometers away, the bastard driver asked me for 300 yuan! ”

I took a sip of my drink, "And how much did you give him?" ”

Lantern Xiao pursed her lips, "I'll give Ya two hundred!" He didn't dare to say anything! ”

I nodded, smiled, and wondered if I should tell him the truth, in fact, it was only a hundred yuan for a taxi round trip!

"I haven't eaten yet, have you eaten? Let's have a bite to eat. Saying the Lantern Festival, he began to order. I suddenly found that when I was alone with Lantern Festival, basically except for eating and drinking, the two of us were really good friends in wine and meat!

After eating, I threw a backpack to him, "I've got all the equipment I can buy, one for each person!" ”

Lantern Xiao opened it and glanced at it, "Gotcha!" In that case, let's hurry up and go! ”

The two of us took advantage of the fact that it was not too late and took a taxi back to the village. We got out of the car far from the entrance of the village, the weather was not so cold at this time, and many people in the village had not yet slept. I waited with Lantern Festival for a while, and saw that the lights in the village began to go out one after another, so we carefully walked through the village, went up the Turtle Back Mountain, and went straight to the ancestral tomb of the Zhuo family!

This time, after arriving at the cemetery of the ancestral tomb of the Zhuo family, we went straight to the steep slope where we had slipped last time, and then went up in reverse and began to look for the hole we had entered and exited last time. But what we didn't expect was that the hole that was originally near here couldn't be found!

I was in a hurry with Lantern Festival, but there was nothing I could do.

Lantern Xiao scolded angrily: "What's the situation, a hole in the ground can still run with its legs open?!" ”

I squatted on the ground and groped for a while, and found that there was still something abnormal on the ground under the weeds, so I thought about it for a while and said to Lantern Xiao: "Run, but I can't run!" However, it should be blocked? ”

"Blocked?" Lantern Xiao looked at me in surprise, "What did your second uncle do?" ”

I nodded, "Nine times out of ten, that's the case." ”

"What then?" Lantern Xiao scratched her head vigorously, "You can't go home, right?" ”

I didn't speak, and turned my head to look up the steep slope. I remember that at the top of the steep slope was a cliff, and I stepped up it, and the night wind blew on my face, and I looked down, and under the cover of the night, despite the light of the flashlight, the bottom of the cliff was still not clear.

Lantern Xiao walked up to me and looked down as well, "What are you looking at?" Do you think there's something strange down there? ”

I frowned and thought for a moment and said, "I'm just wondering, could there be other entrances?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at the bottom of the cliff again, "You have thought about it, I am not good at climbing up and down." As he spoke, he looked around, as if to see if there were other possibilities.

Suddenly, Lantern Xiao patted me and said, "Look! I looked where he was pointing, and sure enough, I saw a slender trench in the earth, and on a rock at the edge, there were some signs of wear.

When I saw this, my eyes lit up! At this time, the traces left by the steel claws are obviously someone who used the steel claws to climb down from this place. Nine times out of ten, those who can come to this place and know how to use steel claws are the second uncle!

Lantern Xiao immediately untied the rope from his backpack, but we didn't have a professional tool like a steel claw in our hands, it was a groove at the bottom of the steep slope, surrounded by wild grass, and the nearest tree was still far away from us. We wanted to follow the rope down to the bottom of the cliff, but we couldn't find a place to hold the rope.

After thinking about it for a long time, fortunately, Lantern Xiao's brain was flexible and came up with a good solution, he went to the tree in the distance and broke a few calf-thick trunks. We take advantage of the narrow position of the groove where we are located, put a section of the trunk horizontally in the groove, insert the two ends deep into the soil on both sides of the groove, and then fix it with other trunks, and finally fix the rope on the horizontal trunk.

After tying the rope, Lantern Xiao and I pulled hard, and it was really very strong. Since we are in a small county town and we can't buy a professional mountaineering rope, I can only buy a 15 mm diameter hemp rope at a hardware store. It is really not very convenient for Lantern Xiao's figure to climb up and down, so I will go down to explore the road first, which is relatively lightweight.

I put the flashlight on my wrist, put on my gloves, and slid down with the rope. The night breeze stirred my body and swayed back and forth with the rope, and the Lantern Festival lit me up with a flashlight on it. This situation reminds me of the experience of encountering a headless stone statue in the depths of Fujimen Mountain some time ago. However, I was fortunate to have that experience, so I didn't feel nervous at this time. The difference is that the weather is fine today, the moonlight is falling, and the surrounding things are faintly visible in a pale silver light curtain.

I slowly went down, and by this time the weather had already warmed up, and all kinds of stubborn plants were growing lush on this steep cliff. While this situation provided me with a lot of places to stay, it also gave me a certain obstacle, and I had to constantly use my hands to remove the branches that stood in my way. However, I soon discovered that some of the stems and branches had broken before I could get down, so I could deduce that someone had just passed by. This discovery gave me a great boost of confidence. So, I started paying attention to my surroundings.

Sure enough, not far below, in the shade of vegetation, there was a hidden hole. I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, so I leaned over cautiously, turned on the flashlight and shone it inside, the hole was very deep, and it was pitch black with no end in sight. I signaled Lantern Xiao to the top, and I lowered my head and got in.

From the traces on the cave wall, I can tell that this is also a robbery cave, and it is relatively old. I listened closely, and there seemed to be no sound in the depths of the cave, but when I felt it closely, there seemed to be a faint sound wafting into my ears. When I focused on hearing it, it hid quietly. This struck me as very strange.

So, I didn't dare to rush forward, so I could only wait in place for the Lantern Festival. After a while, the sound of the leaves shaking violently came, and then the huge figure of Lantern Xiao appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the moonlight outside was instantly blocked by him, and the cave suddenly darkened.

Lantern Xiao also got into the hole and patted the straw stick on his body, "Hey, this really has another entrance." It seems that the original entrance above was blocked by your second uncle, but he didn't expect us to find this entrance! ”

I shook my head slightly, "We can find this place, it's completely a loophole, the key is that my second uncle doesn't know that we have already discovered this place, otherwise with his ability, it is absolutely impossible to leave any clues for us!" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "Then hurry up, otherwise, once your second uncle notices, I'm worried that something will be buried forever like the tomb under your ancestral house!" ”

I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart, I believe this, the second uncle must do it. I waved my hand at Lantern Festival and walked towards the depths of the cave.

This cave was not long, and it soon came to an end. But out of the thief hole, the scene in front of us made us a little surprised!
