Chapter 7: Saving the Rat
Lin Lu never fell asleep, and his snoring was just for show. After Yu Erwa moved stones to block the boulder narrow road, Lin Lu quietly got up, squeezed through the boulder narrow road, hid behind the stone cracks, and watched Yu Erwa drag the old Yutou's body into the grass, Lin Lu's heart did not have much turmoil.
In this year's ups and downs, Lin Lu has become accustomed to seeing life and death.
When Yu Erwa dived into the water, Lin Lu dared to push the stone outward, and pushed it hard for a while, but the stone blocking the road did not move at all, and kicked it with his foot, and the stone was stuck to death.
"This damn Yu Erwa, why did you jam the stone so well." Lin Lu gasped and muttered.
This Yu Erwa dares to attack Lao Yutou, then his next target must be Lao Li Tou, he still has value for Yu Erwa, and he should not worry about his life for the time being.
After waiting for several tea times, to Lin Lu's surprise, it was not Yu Erwa who came out of the water, but Lao Li Tou!
Listening to the meaning of Lao Li Tou's words, Yu Erwa is dead.
Unexpectedly, Lao Li Tou, a thin and small old smoking gun, could actually kill the strong Yu Erwa.
After a while, when the torches around Lao Li Tou gradually went out, and the whole cave was silent, Lin Lu felt that this old Li Tou was probably running out of oil and the lamp was dry, and the fierce was more auspicious.
Lin Lu pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind to shout a few voices to find out if this old Li Tou still had any life.
"Uncle Li, are you okay?"
"Old Uncle Li, are you still there?"
。。。。
。。。
Except for the echoes around him, Lin Lu didn't hear any response,
Lin Lu retreated to the mine, took a torch and a hoe, squeezed to the crack in the stone again, and used the hoe to pry the stones on the narrow road.
The narrow road is too narrow, Lin Lu can only turn sideways, and the little strength on his body can only be used by five or sixty percent.
What's more, how much strength can a nine-year-old child have?
"It seems unlikely that the stones blocking the road will be forcibly pried open." , Lin Lu said in his heart.
Based on the food in the package, it is estimated that it can last for ten days and eight days at most.
Jiayi Forest Site is remote, and the entrance of the dark river is hidden, and if no one finds this place in ten days and eight days, the forest road is only afraid that it will starve to death.
Even if someone finds this place, with the greedy habits of these gold diggers, Lin Lu will inevitably become a tool for others to dig gold and make a fortune.
Just as Lin Lu was thinking hard, in the pit behind him, there was a sudden sound of small fragments.
This is strange, there is obviously a pile of ore in the mine, how can there be a sound?
Lin Lu tightened the pickaxe in his hand, carefully crossed the narrow road, and when he reached the end of the boulder narrow road, Lin Lu quickly handed the torch out, and his eyes glanced at the place where the sound came from.
A fat mole more than a foot long, with a golden back and a white belly, was grabbing a smoked chicken and feasting there.
When the fat mole saw the sudden forest road, he didn't run, his mouth kept chewing, and his fat face actually revealed, "Do you want one too?" The human expression, the front paws, and the package that pointed to the forest road.
"Where did the big mouse come from, I didn't want to eat it myself, but I was brought to treat by you, a big mouse?" , Lin Lu rushed out of the narrow road, picked up the pickaxe, and smashed the fat mole rat.
This mole looks chubby, but his skills are extremely agile, while gnawing on the smoked chicken, he can easily dodge the crane's beak hoe smashed overhead, and occasionally stretches out his paw and points to Lin Lu's package, as if to say, "There is still in that backpack, if you want to eat it, you can get it, my smoked chicken is impossible for you to eat!" ”
Lin Lu saw the provocative appearance of the fat mole, and the crane-beak hoe swung harder, and smashed it again along the fat mole's foothold.
This mine has not been maintained and reinforced for many years, and the wooden frame supporting it has long been decayed.
Now, Lin Lu slammed down, the mine began to collapse in an instant, Lin Lu was a little far away from the boulder narrow road, and then it was impossible to hide back in the narrow road, he was quick to move, pulled the package to his side, rolled over, and hid under a protruding piece of gold ore.
And the fat mole calmly nibbled on the smoked chicken, while flexibly dodging the falling stones on the roof of the cave, and then rushed straight and flashed into Lin Lu's arms.
After a loud bang, the surroundings instantly turned dark.
Lin Lu took out a candle, lit it, looked at the fat mole in his arms, and was angry.
"If it weren't for you, the fat mouse, how would I be buried in this mine?"
The fat mole looked at Lin Lu pitifully, lowered his head and continued to squeak and nibble on the smoked chicken.
Looking at the appearance of the fat mole in his arms, and thinking of his current situation, Lin Lu sighed,
"That's it, in this situation, you and I shouldn't be able to live long, since you like to eat smoked chicken so much, there are still a few in the package, you can eat them together." Lin Lu looked at the fat mole squirrel's eating appearance, and took out another smoked chicken from the package and handed it over.
The fat mole seemed to understand what Lin Lu meant, and his little paw pointed at Lin Lu and motioned for Lin Lu to eat it too.
Lin Lu saw that this fat mole was so humane, and his heart was also happy, this product was really successful.
Although Lin Lu has grown a lot after more than a year of displacement, Lin Lu is still only a nine-year-old child after all, and now in such a desperate situation, Lin Lu really needs a partner who can accompany him, otherwise, he may really collapse.
"Since we met in the gold cave, I'll give you a name called Jinbao, do you think it's okay?"
The fat mole seemed to understand what Lin Lu meant, and nodded while nibbling on the smoked chicken.
Looking at this magical fat mole, Lin Lu's words gradually increased,
"Jinbao, why are you so fat?"
"Jinbao, why are you golden-backed and white-bellied, I have never seen a mole like this."
"Jinbao, can you really understand people's words?"
。。。。。。
。。。。
As the candle gradually went out and the surroundings returned to pitch black, Lin Lu caressed Jinbao's back, listening to the sound of Jinbao clicking and gnawing on smoked chicken, and the appearance of his family involuntarily appeared in his mind, and his heart was depressed.
"Jinbao, it's still hello, carefree, as long as there is food, don't worry about anything"
"Jinbao, do you have family, do you miss them?"
"My family, I don't know where they are, I really miss them."
"Jinbao, do you really say there are immortals?"
"If only I were an immortal, I could use the immortal method to change myself from this broken pit to the outside, and then, using the immortal method, to rescue my family"
"Jinbao, I heard that there are also fights between immortals, and if either side of the immortal loses, his mortal relatives will become slaves and put a mark on their faces."
"I heard that one of my distant ~ far ~ far ~ distant relatives lost because of the immortal fight, I don't know what the name of that relative is, he lives far away, and the government checked it and said that our family is also related, and then they were all taken away."
"When the red-hot soldering iron was imprinted on my face, I fainted in pain several times, and at that time, I was so scared, I thought I was going to die, and later, when I thought of my family, I survived."
"I don't know, my younger brothers and sisters have survived, and an old grandfather who was in the same cell with me did not survive and died in prison, and no one came to collect the body for several days."
"Jinbao, have you ever been to the sea, there are a lot of fish in the sea, you are so greedy, you must like to go."
"Jinbao, let me tell you a secret, I took out a ring from the belly of a fish, it was very magical, the ring could still glow, and the carved things on it looked like it was alive, but then it suddenly disappeared."
"I suspect that the ring is the treasure of the immortals, but I am a mortal and have no immortal fate, so the treasure of the immortals flew away by itself."
"Jinbao, you said gold, is it really so~so~ okay, so good that for the sake of gold, even your relatives and elders can be killed ruthlessly?"
。。。。。。。
。。。。。。。
In the dark, Lin Lu confided in Jinbao what he had seen and heard along the way, and felt much more relaxed.
The sound of Jinbao's mouth clicking gradually decreased, and he had probably finished eating the smoked chicken.
Lin Lu felt that Jinbao was pulling his clothes,
"Jinbao, it's not enough for you to eat one smoked chicken, do you want to eat another one?" Lin Lu doted on him, and then, blowing the fire fold, he was about to get another one for Jinbao.
Jinbao didn't stretch out his claws to get the smoked chicken, but quickly bit off the "lifeline" on Lin Lu's waist with his teeth, and pointed to the wall with his paws.
"Jinbao, this wall is very hard, I can't dig it with a pickaxe!"
Jinbao showed a confident look on his face, and then showed his two claws, and scratched at the wall, and the hard stone wall, under Jinbao's claws, spread out like tofu.
Seeing that Jinbao was so sharp, Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, Jinbao was really his big lucky star, and he could eat as much smoked chicken as he wanted in the future!
It didn't take long for Jinbao to dig a hole, and Jinbao motioned with his paws to Lin Lu to follow it.
Lin Lu picked up the package and followed Jinbao through the pothole.
After climbing out of the small pit, what appears in front of you is a narrow underground cave, the stalactites above the cave keep dripping with water droplets, from time to time there are water droplets falling in the small pools below, making a sound of "ding dong, ding dong", the bottom of the water hole is dotted with slightly fluorescent aquatic plants, small fish and shrimp are playing in the water, behind the small pool is a rock slope, which is covered with milky white stalagmites and shimmering moss.
Jinbao was a long, chubby little figure, among the stalagmites, constantly jumping, and in a few clicks reached the top of the rocky slope.
Lin Lu didn't have the ability to Jinbao, he tightened the package, stepped on the stalagmite, and climbed up carefully, the stalagmite was very slippery, and it took Lin Lu a lot of effort to climb up.
In this way, one slope after another, after almost climbing more than a dozen slopes, it came to a relatively flat place.
"Jinbao, can you rest first?" , Lin Lu panted and beckoned to Jinbao, took out the candle in the package and lit it, and took a smoked chicken and handed it to Jinbao.
Jinbao, a foodie, took the smoked chicken, and gnawed it up, not even letting go of the chicken bones, Lin Lu stroked Jinbao's back and said, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you!" ”
After resting for a while, Lin Lu took out the kettle from the package, took a pot of water from the spring at the source of the small river, took out the dry food, and drank the spring water while nibbling on the dry food.
This spring water is clear and sweet, and a little sweet~
"Jinbao, what's next? I look at this rocky slope, we should have climbed to the top. Lin Lu waited for Jinbao to finish eating the smoked chicken before asking.
Jinbao, a foodie, didn't wait for it to finish eating, and asked in vain.
Campbell licked her tongue and pointed to the earthen wall behind it, then showed its claws.
Lin Lu understood, took out his small pickaxe, and joined Jinbao's excavation team.
Jinbao dug the stone walls like cutting tofu, not to mention these earthen walls, and with Lin Lu helping on the side, he quickly dug a small hole.
Lin Lu followed Jinbao and slowly climbed through the pothole.
After getting out of the small pit, Lin Lu straightened up, held the candle, looked around, under the reflection of the candlelight, the mine reflected a dazzling light, the gold ore here is much more than the mine behind the boulder narrow road, dozens of catties of dog's head gold, like a broken stone was discarded at random on the side of the mine.
"It's really hard to figure out what these ancient miners are looking for when they dig such a deep hole and don't dig for gold!" Lin Lu couldn't help but wonder.
A gust of cold wind blew from the opposite side of the mine, and Jinbao jumped into Lin Lu's satchel, pointed ahead with his paws, and then hid in the package and didn't come out.
"Jinbao, you foodie, you have such thick fur, are you afraid of the cold? You can hide in your bag, but don't eat all the smoked chicken in one go, or you'll be hungry later! Lin Lu warned angrily and funny.
Then, Lin Lu followed the direction of Jinbao's finger and moved forward very carefully, not daring to make a sound, for fear of causing the mine to collapse again. There are many branches in the mine, and every time they reach a fork in the road, Lin Lu has to tap the package several times, and Jinbao reluctantly stretches out his hand to point the way.
Fortunately, on this road, although some cold wind blew, there was no landslide blocking the road.
Turning a corner, the mine road was much brighter, Lin Lu looked fixedly, there seemed to be some glowing things around this mine road, Lin Lu carefully approached, only to see clearly, it was some transparent crystal clusters that would glow.
Lin Lu blew out the candle, broke a few crystals with milky white light and stuffed them into the package, broke another crystal cluster and grabbed it in his hand, and then continued to walk forward.
After seven bends and eight turns of the glowing mine road, both sides of the mine road gradually darkened.
Lin Lu held the glowing crystal cluster and continued to walk,
After a while, we came to a three-way intersection again,
Lin Lu patted the package lightly, but Jinbao didn't react at all, Lin Lu patted it a few more times, but Jinbao still didn't react at all.
Lin Lu had no choice but to open the package to see what this foodie was doing.
What a big smell of wine,
Lin Lu picked up the wine bottle in the package and shook it, but it was already silent.
This Jinbao secretly poured a whole bottle of soju, and now he is sleeping!
If Jinbao had shown him the way in a drunken state just now, he would have been lost in this mine.
Although Lin Road has piled up a few stones at the fork in the road as a marker, if you go back now, where can you retreat?
I also blamed myself for being too focused on the situation in the mine, and besides, the cold wind in the mine blew away the wine in the package, otherwise, I should have been able to stop Jinbao from stealing wine in time.
Looking at the sleeping and snoring appearance of Fat Jinbao in the package, Lin Lu couldn't cry or laugh, this life-saving rat is too unreliable...
