"Brother, I know you are here, come out and let's have a good chat!"
"You're not coming out, are you? Then you have to hide, I'll find you soon!"
In the darkness, a flashlight shone faintly in the distance, and his voice seemed to be getting closer and closer to me.
I kept silent and hid behind a big stone pillar.
"Brother, where are you? Come out and let me explain to you."
I controlled my breathing and didn't dare to make a sound.
"You are quite a nice person, and I don't want to be like this. Originally, I thought we had just met and wanted to keep you for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to be more anxious than I am to catch up on the ducks. You are anxious to come here to hunt for treasures, so there is nothing I can do.
, Brother, you also know that the Chinese New Year is about to come, and I am short of money to spend."
"I know you are listening. I have drugged Biscuit. You won't last long. Come out now and we can have a good chat. If you are willing to tell me your bank card password, I may be able to keep you for a while."
Life."
The next second, his voice disappeared.
After waiting for a few minutes, the surroundings were quiet, eerily quiet.
I held my breath and looked outside.
The surroundings were very dark, and it was hard to see where anyone was. He seemed to have turned off the flashlight on purpose.
Suddenly, I noticed a faint light coming on behind me.
I quickly turned back!
I saw someone standing behind me at some point!
At this time, he was holding the knife in his left hand and holding a flashlight in his right hand to shine on his chin, with a smile on his face.
I kicked him! But I never thought that I could not stand firmly and fell. I wanted to get up, but my limbs could not use the strength.
"Tsk, tsk! Others would have fainted a long time ago. I didn't expect you to still have the strength. Stop struggling in vain, brother. I promise to finish it quickly and make you feel no pain."
I gasped and said, "Brother Zhang, you don't have to do this! I have more than 20,000 yuan in my bag, you can take it! From now on, I will pretend it never happened and I won't trouble you!"
He held the knife, squatted in front of me and said with a smile, "Brother, the reason why I can live safely until now is because I am ruthless every time, because only the dead can keep secrets in this world. I am not only interested in...
Your 20,000 yuan is fast. When you die, your car will also be mine. I have already contacted the buyer. I will come here this time next year to burn some paper money for you. Don’t blame me next time.
You, Brother Zhang, are cruel and I can’t help it, it’s just for survival.”
While listening to him speaking, I groped with my right hand on the ground and suddenly touched a stone.<
br>
Holding the stone tightly, without hesitation for a second, I swung the stone with my backhand and hit him on the head.
Just listen to a scream in the darkness!
His flashlight instantly fell to the ground.
"You're looking for fucking death!"
He rushed over and strangled my neck violently, and I strangled him at the same time!
In the darkness, I could only vaguely see the outline of his face. Both sides refused to let go, because whoever let go first would die!
Due to his condescending attitude and the fact that I was drugged, I soon became exhausted and fell down. I felt like I couldn't breathe and was about to suffocate, just like I was drowning.
He yelled at me crazily, "Death! Die! You fucking die!!"
At the critical moment of life and death, I bit my tongue, forced myself to take a breath, and slammed my knee into the vital part between his legs.
He screamed again and loosened his grip on my neck because of the pain.
I quickly got up, touched the rock just now, and hit his head several times, using all my strength every time.
At first he resisted, then his resistance became smaller and smaller, until he finally lay on the ground and stopped moving.
I quickly picked up the flashlight and looked at it, and saw a lot of blood dripping on the ground, and his face was also covered in blood.
I threw the stone and sat down with my back against the stone pillar, breathing heavily.
Perhaps because strenuous exercise accelerated the onset of the drug's effects, my consciousness became increasingly blurred, and I passed out with my back against the stone pillar.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I woke up from my coma, the surroundings were still dark, and it didn’t seem like it was daylight outside.
I dragged the person to the steaming dragon cave, then threw him headfirst into the bottomless pit of the dragon cave, which was about one meter in diameter. I also threw the black backpack into the pit.
After doing all this, I clapped my hands, spat into the pit and said, "Damn it, are you still trying to kill me? You are asking for your own death!"
There was no response from the deep pit, but a bit of warm wind blew in, making people feel uncomfortable.
Lighting a cigarette to calm down, I began to think about the incident.
My boss often taught me that I should consider the consequences in advance of anything I do, and see if I can bear the consequences. If I can't bear them, I should plan ahead and think of ways to make things happen later.
The fruit becomes bearable.
Although I acted in self-defense this time and do not need to bear any responsibility, if his wife calls the police and says that the last person her husband came into contact with before disappearing was me, it will be very difficult for the haters to come to the door because my true identity cannot be known.
See the light.
After carefully thinking about the whole thing, I guessed that his wife probably didn't know about the things he did to make money and kill people. If that's the case, I might as well use a trick to make the villain sue first and get me out!
After thinking clearly, I grabbed two handfuls of dirt from the ground and smeared it on my face and neck. I came here to hunt for treasures, but now that something like this suddenly happened, I was not in the mood to continue exploring the Xibian'er Grottoes. I just wanted to go quickly.
Click to leave.
But just as I was leaving, I accidentally saw a mural on the wall in the southwest corner of the grotto.
It can't be said to be a mural, it's just a pattern, as if someone picked up a random stone and carved it on the wall.
I stood under the wall and looked at it for a few minutes with a flashlight, full of doubts.
The content of the mural is six simple squares arranged together. At first glance, these six square patterns look like some kind of wooden boxes. Next to the box, there are two people, one tall and one short, sitting cross-legged on the ground, seeming to be communicating.
Because the facial features of the two people in the mural were not painted, and they were very sloppy and simple, it was impossible to determine the gender. However, there was a line of small characters engraved crookedly on the side. The handwriting was very light and blurred.
I tried to say, "What is Jiang? The thirteenth year of Daoguang."
The person who left these six square patterns on the wall deep in the grotto turned out to be someone named Jiang during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty?
I tried to identify the two characters, but they were really blurry and I couldn't see them clearly. I could only clearly see that the person's surname was Jiang.
In the thirteenth year of Daoguang's reign, I calculated that it should be around 1833. In other words, someone had explored the grottoes more than 170 years ago and left their names on the walls.
I didn't pay too much attention to this unexpected discovery, because it didn't explain anything. It might have been carved on a random stone by the ancients on a whim, just like how people nowadays like to carve words on tourist attractions such as "I visited this place".
Same.
Then I drove away from Dongshan Grottoes. Instead of going back to the hotel, I went directly to the Pier Snack Shop. It was about six o'clock in the morning and it was just dawn.
The door of the snack bar was locked until around 7:30, when a young girl parked in front of the store on her bicycle. Then she took out her key and went to the front door. I quickly ran past.
go.
"We are closed today and there is no food."
The girl was estimated to be in her late teens or early twenties, about 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a school uniform and a thin white down jacket. She had a thin figure and delicate features, and seemed to be a student.
"Excuse me, are you Brother Zhang's daughter? Is sister-in-law here?" I asked her.
"Are you looking for my mother?"
"My mother is not here. She went to my grandma's place yesterday afternoon."
"Girl, can you give me your mother's mobile phone number?"
"Who are you? I don't know you at all. Why should I tell you my mother's mobile phone number?"
"It doesn't matter whether you recognize me or not! It's a big deal! Why don't you call your mother yourself! I'm Xiaoxiang! Your mother knows me! Just say something happened to your father!"
Seeing the anxious look on my face, the girl's expression instantly became panicked.
"Speak clearly! What happened to my dad! What happened to him!"
"Brother Zhang, he!"
I said loudly with red eyes, "Your dad had an accident! His life or death is unknown now!"
The girl's face changed drastically. She helped me up and immediately called her mother. Then she loudly asked me what happened! Let me explain clearly!
Looking at her panic-stricken face, I thought to myself, "You little girl, your father wanted to kill me but he was killed instead. How do you want me to explain this clearly? I dare to explain it clearly."
At about nine o'clock, her mother hurried to the snack bar. Seeing that my clothes were disheveled and my face was covered with dirt, her mother said anxiously, "Xiaoxiang, don't scare me! My husband is here! What happened!"
My legs went weak and I fell to my knees on the ground.
I grabbed her pants and cried, "Sister-in-law! I'm sorry! Yesterday, Brother Zhang and I went treasure hunting in Dongshan Grottoes without telling you! As a result, I accidentally had an accident! Brother Zhang tried to save me! His foot slipped in the cave!
That hole is very deep! Brother Zhang is probably in serious danger!"
My eyes were red and I cried.
After listening to my words, she swayed backwards, and I quickly supported her.
It was such a big deal, and her daughter was so frightened that she cried and looked completely lost.
My eyes were red, but I thought in my heart, "Brother Zhang, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, but I have a bottom line as a human being. Your wife and children have nothing to do with this matter. Now they are orphans and widowed mothers. I will do it for you."
Take proper care of them.”
