Chapter 18: Cave Robbery

Due to the accident that happened last night, Xiuxiu and I slept late, and when we woke up in the morning, everyone else had already made breakfast, although the boiled noodles tasted average, but in this barren mountain range, it is better to have a bowl of steaming noodles than to eat compressed biscuits.

After eating, our group carried our equipment and followed Xiuxiu to the mountains and forests. Although the destination is not far away, I am not sure that I will camp here at night, so I put away the tents and take them with me.

Because I didn't take anything, I only carried a backpack for food, so according to Xiuxiu's arrangement, I walked behind the team, and behind me was the yin and yang who were in charge of the palace. A big man walking in front of me slowly slowed down and walked side by side with me. I thought it was because his backpack was too heavy and he couldn't keep up with the team. However, with a grin, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two, took one in his own mouth, and handed the other to me. "Brother, it seems that you have a good relationship with Miss, and you are still in the mood to burn passions in this barren mountain!"

I glanced at this man, who was more than half a head taller than me, with a small flat head and a square face, and looked like a mixed society. I immediately said, "Brother, you misunderstood, Miss Huo and I are just friends. ”

He took a puff of cigarette and whispered to me, "Brother, I don't mean anything else, I saw the tent you received just now, and the security measures are quite in place." But listen to my brother's advice, don't take measures in the future, if this young lady has your child, think about it... In the future, when you are developed, remember to promote your brother. I opened my mouth to explain, but I didn't say anything, after all, I have nothing to do with this person, and what he thinks and wants has a relationship with me. Seeing that I didn't speak, he just smiled, and walked a few steps ahead of me.

In fact, it is a distance of a few hundred meters, but walking in this mountain forest and weeds, every step needs to be extra careful, so the speed is very slow, and this short distance also takes twenty minutes.

The big backpacks were opened one by one, and all kinds of equipment were taken out of them. I know metal detectors, I also know Luoyang shovels, and what infrared imaging, thermal imaging, geomagnetic detection, etc. After everything was assembled, the group spread out around the position under our feet to probe. I don't know anything, I just follow Xiuxiu's ass and watch her work.

She held a Luoyang shovel in her hand, kept inserting the ground under her feet, and soon made a small circular hole in the ground, and some soil was brought out of the ground by the tip of the shovel, and she watched and sniffed carefully at each handful of soil. It wasn't until the five- or six-meter-long shovel rod was almost completely empty of the last handful of soil that she stopped shoveling and continued to shovel.

She walked out more than ten meters, chose a point, stabbed a few times with a Luoyang shovel, and made a small hole in the ground, and then threw the Luoyang shovel to me, snorted her mouth, and pointed to the small hole in the ground with her finger. That means let me keep hitting this hole. I can do the work, but I don't suffer in words. He took the shovel and asked, "Your job, is this for me to do?" ”

I thought she would be outburst, but I didn't expect her to just say lightly: "Yes, work hard, we have limited time." ”

I'm not as good as her in terms of kung fu, but in this kind of hard work, men are always better than women. I was in charge of digging holes and bringing soil, and she was squatting there to observe and smell the smell of soil. Soon all the shovel rods were punched in. Then I changed another place, continued to dig holes and explore the soil, so I don't know how many places I changed, and finally my arms were sore, and I couldn't move, so I threw the shovel to Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu took the shovel and smiled evilly, and said: "Just this little ability, I'm afraid you can't do my work for you." ”

She was unusually calm just now, I didn't expect to be waiting for me here. Women are really vengeful creatures. I ignored whatever she said, just lying on the dead branches and leaves gasping for breath. After so long and non-stop digging and digging into the soil, my clothes were already soaked with sweat. The breeze in the forest blew, and the slightest coolness came and I couldn't help but shiver. Xiuxiu is not much better than me at this time, the sweat on her forehead has soaked her hair, and her clothes are wet and clinging to her body, but at this time it highlights her figure.

I rested for a while, felt a little regained in strength, and struggled to get up, intending to replace Xiuxiu and continue to dig holes and explore the earth. At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a black figure not far behind, and before I could turn my head, a crossbow arrow with a cold light flew towards my head, and I hurriedly dodged it sideways. The bolt grazed my scalp, and just as I dodged it, I suddenly realized that if I dodged, the arrow would go straight for Xiuxiu, and she was still concentrating on making holes, apparently not aware of the danger.

"Be careful", the moment the bolt hit my scalp, I yelled and pounced on Xiuxiu with all my might. When I pounced on Xiuxiu, the arrow also fell to the ground. The crossbow bolt was stuck two inches away from Xiuxiu's head, and even when I pounced on her, the arrow was already in front of her, even if it was a few tenths of a second slower, it would have been another result.

At this time, I didn't have much time to think about it, so I immediately put my hands on the ground, stood up with a somersault, and looked in the direction where the crossbow bolts were flying. I saw a black back figure that had already run into the depths of the jungle, and the Yin and Yang Shuangsha didn't know where to rush out, and chased in that direction.

Originally, the area where we worked was not large, and more than a dozen people could almost see each other, and Xiuxiu and I had an accident here, and everyone else basically saw it, and they stopped their work and gathered around, and the stars surrounded Xiuxiu like a moon. I took out a cigarette and lit it to suppress myself, and I didn't chase the man in black, because I knew that with my speed, I was so far away from the man in black, it would be futile to chase him.

I hadn't finished a cigarette yet, and the yin and yang came back with a straight face. The man shook his head and sighed, "I didn't catch it", but his voice was still a woman's voice, and knowing his real gender, I got goosebumps when I heard it.

The woman in the twin evils threw the bow and crossbow in her hand to the ground, which the man in black had thrown on the road when he fled. Running around in the jungle with such a thing, it is likely that they will be caught by some branches and shrubs, so the man in black finally shoots an arrow at them, and then throws his bow and crossbow at them, blocking the speed of their pursuit before running away.

The crossbow has one more sight-like thing than a normal bow, and I haven't used it, so I don't know what it's called. The aim of this thing is much higher than that of a bow and arrow, and if I hadn't reacted quickly to that arrow just now, I guess I would have been lying here to accept everyone's condolences. Whether this arrow is aimed at me or Xiuxiu is not easy to judge.

Then Xiuxiu, surrounded by everyone, walked towards the place where the man in black was just now. Aside from a few messy footprints on the ground, no useful clues were found. Just as everyone was picking up the dead grass and leaves in the vicinity to look for them, suddenly a person screamed, and then they heard the other companions shouting "catch".

When I came back to my senses, I noticed that a person seemed to have fallen into a large pit in the ground, and that a companion who was quick had grabbed her hand. By the time I ran over, three men had pulled the man up.

It is a circular cave, the entrance of which is covered with dead grass, and it is impossible to detect its existence without looking closely. I looked down and it seemed to be so deep that I couldn't see the bottom. Judging from the traces of the man being dragged out, the soil at the edge of the cave was very soft, and I didn't dare to get too close.

"This is a thief hole" Xiuxiu glanced at the hole a few times, and then quickly judged.

I'm not in their business, so I don't see anything special about this hole. Xiuxiu is the inheritor of one of the nine gates, so naturally there are some extraordinary inheritances in it, and it is reasonable that he has more knowledge than us. Immediately, Yin and Yang also echoed: "It is indeed a cave robbery, but because there are too many years, there has been a collapse at the entrance of the cave, and the soil at the entrance of the cave has fallen into it, which has caused the entrance of the cave to expand." ”

"Miss, do you want to go down and have a look?" Someone in the crowd asked, and when I looked up, it was the big man who handed me a cigarette on the road.

Xiuxiu paced and pondered for a moment, then looked at Yin and Yang, as if asking for the opinions of the two of them. The two looked at each other, and one eye contact was enough for the man and woman who had been a couple for decades to express a thousand words.

"Fetch the rope," the man shouted to the crowd.

After a while, a man came to the entrance of the cave with a large bundle of ropes on his back. There must have been three or four of them, and he took out two, chose a big tree, tied the rope one end to the tree, and threw the whole bundle into the hole.

The reason why two ropes are tied at the same time is to prevent the rope from breaking suddenly during the descent process, so that one more rope is equivalent to one more insurance. This is also the experience they have accumulated over the years. The twin men grabbed the rope first and jumped down. At first, the fiber was still shining underneath, so he didn't turn on his headlamp. He didn't turn on his headlamp until he descended to the point where we could barely see him.

At this time, someone in the crowd began to mutter, "We are a group of big men watching from above, let a girl go down and take risks, if this spreads, how can we mix!" ”

Someone then chimed in; "Yes" and "Yes".
