"What's wrong with you two?" Water Pump asked confused.
Huang Mao didn't say anything, and he didn't even need the shovel or pickaxe. He ran out rolling and crawling.
I ran faster, and before Huang Mao moved, I turned around and ran away.
"What is this! It's so sticky."
The water pump doubtfully grabbed the thing in his hand, looked at it, threw it away and ran away.
"Snakes! There are fucking snakes!"
Because it is inconvenient to put the ladder up and down to dump soil, and the bucket always bumps into it, so the ladder is removed when we work.
Huang Mao shouted: "Three guarantees! Three guarantees! Ladder! Put down the ladder quickly!"
"What's wrong with you?" Sanbao asked.
"Snake... dig up a lot of snakes!
"Hurry up and put down the ladder!" Huang Mao shouted in horror.
"snake!"
Sanbao was so frightened that he covered the hole with a wooden board.
The light in the cave instantly dimmed, and if it weren't for the headlights, I wouldn't be able to see anything.
The water pump that finally ran out saw that the hole was covered, and immediately cursed.
"Shh..."
"Don't make a sound..."
"Did you hear any noise?" I asked.
"I didn't hear anything, there was no movement."
After Huang Mao finished speaking, he cursed again: "Three guarantees! I am xxxxx"
I was shocked when I first saw the snake, but now I am calmer, because anyone who has studied common sense of biology knows that snakes are similar to turtles. If they are in hibernation, they are basically not very aggressive. When they wake up from hibernation,
Come here, it takes time.
Also, it is not uncommon to find snakes when digging in the soil. Snakes may be dug up during road construction at many construction sites.
Because it gets cold in winter, snakes go into holes underground to hibernate, which is a natural phenomenon.
I said Brother Pump, go back and take a look. The snake is hibernating and won't move.
"What the hell! Why don't you go! If you don't bite anyone, go ahead!" said the water pump.
I said again: "Brother Huangmao, go ahead, you will never bite anyone."
Huang Mao glared at me and said, "Brother Feng, go ahead and bite you to death. I will cremate you."
"Oh shit."
"What's the big deal? You two are timid, so I'll go."
I grabbed my headlamp and started climbing back.
At this time, Huang Mao was heard yelling at Sanbao for not erecting a ladder.
Climbing back this time, I could see clearly.
The water pump dug out dozens of snakes with a pickaxe.
The long ones are more than one meter long, and the short ones are less than half a meter. There are several hanging on the wall, and there are also several hanging on the handle of the iron pickaxe.
Some of these snakes will move, but most of them will remain motionless. The scales on the snakes' bodies are yellow and black, with patches of circular spots.
What kind of snake is this?
At this time, the importance of knowledge comes into play.
Sister Hong used to be interested in botany and biology. I read several books in her room. One of them was about snakes. I just opened a few pages and saw this kind of snake. I remember it seemed to be called
The flower snake is still a flower snake, it is not poisonous.
I thought about it and realized something was wrong.
Think about it.
The current depth of the burrow is about six meters underground, and is surrounded by solid soil. Can a snake burrow into such a deep underground to hibernate?
Is this a snake or a burrowing dragon?
I carefully avoided a few flower snakes on the ground and looked at the wall carefully. After looking at it, I used a shovel to pull up the soil twice.
Soon, I discovered a small hole spreading to the right, hollow, as big as a fist.
At this time, a cry came from outside the cave: "Hurry up! San Bao has put down the ladder!"
I ignored it and used the pickaxe to dig at the wall on the right side of the cave.
A large amount of broken soil fell down, and after a few digs, a large hole suddenly collapsed.
The entrance of the cave was pitch black, there was no wind, no sound, and it was very quiet.
"Have we reached the underground palace? No, right? This is still far away."
I grabbed the headlamp and leaned sideways to take a look.
Next to the hole we dug, there is a robbery hole on the right!
A layer of wooden boards was laid on the top of the cave, and the lower part was supported by a stick as thick as an arm. The horizontal robbery hole we dug and the sudden robbery hole were separated by a layer of soil, and the distance was less than thirty centimeters!
I was dumbfounded.
Those snakes of love did not come down from the ground, but first crawled into the thieves' cave, and then crawled into our cave.
At this time, my headlight suddenly started to flash on and off. I didn't know if the power was out, so I hurriedly exited and called someone.
Yang Kun was not here just now, so I said Brother Yang, please come down and take a look. The situation is good. I found a robbery hole with the same route as ours.
You need to know one thing.
The route Yang Kun decided on was the coordinates he asked Huang Mao to use the theodolite laser to draw, which was the closest road to the ancient pagoda.
...
ten minutes later.
"What should I do, boss?"
"The front of this hole seems to be very deep. I can't even reach the end with my flashlight." asked the water pump.
