Xu Enping felt unreliable, but since Jiang Xiaomi introduced him and he was here to help, Lu Weiwei couldn't say anything else.
But I always feel that this guide seems to be a little slow in thinking.
Like many aging explorers, their memory is constantly declining.
How about saying that outdoor adventures are now dominated by young people?
Generally speaking, older explorers are really exhausted.
Under the leadership of Xu Enping, everyone began to move towards the fork in the road.
But at this time, Xu Enping's experience came into play.
He quickly figured out where to go based on some previous road signs as a guide.
Since these roads have long been covered with vegetation, it is important to find the route.
"Hey, hey, hey." Xu Enping kept waving the machete in his hand, holding the weeds with his gloved left hand, and waving the machete with his right hand to clear the way, quickly clearing the weeds blocking the road.
Since the structure of the strange rocks at the top is normally simple, like sharp swords hanging in the air, Gu Chen was also normally cautious when walking.
"Could there be some mysterious creatures?" Xu Enping also had a sudden thought.
Apart from that, Xu Yaxuan was also very proud and made all kinds of complaints to Xiaojia.
"It is indeed a mistake to go there to escape the heat in the summer. It's just that the cave has not been developed."
Subsequently, Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Cong Xianya, and two other young guides were responsible for the route exploration work in the rear.
"Your guess is that we may not have found another exit of the cave and walked out through this exit."
"There's a problem." The two of them echoed in unison.
"It must be a group of people. The fact that Cong Xianya had to run so slowly means that the two guides may not have been with you at that time."
That made Cong Xian suddenly realize that walking in that kind of place is very unlikely to get lost.
"The next time you come here, you will bring seven or eight people with you. Did you bring any caving equipment? You can only use red silk to explore the way."
But Gu Chen soon discovered that there were only some footprints left by Xiaojia, and there were no new footprints left by another wave of people.
Cong Xian crouched down and casually observed the situation on the ground.
Gu Chen quickly found the guide Xu Yaxuan and reminded him: "Mr. Xu, hurry up and mark that place as bad."
At the same time, Gu Chen was also looking for clues around the cave.
"Have you brought everything with you?" Gu Chen is now concerned about whether he can retreat.
"Senior Sister Lu, Dayuan, they need to retreat first and stand where they are."
"You know that worry, that situation." Seeing Gu Chen's worry, it was also his own worry.
Xiaojia kept nagging, and finally couldn't see the cave entrance on the mountain.
I came to the crowd, threw a green rope on the ground, and explained:
"Senior Sister Lu and Dayuan, the two of them are responsible for measuring the distance."
"This also means that the person we are looking for may not have passed through here."
Speaking of this, Xu Enping looked quite proud.
Looking at the footprints on the ground, Xu Enping added: "Moreover, those footprints are the latest, which means that Cong Xianya and the two guides may not have retreated into the cave yet."
Since there is no signal inside the cave, hand-drawn maps would be the wrong choice.
"The hole is really too small. If you're not careful, you might be trapped there."
"After all, when I saw the old lady outside the mountain, she was the only one who looked like Lu Weiwei."
After all, Xiaojia walked outside a noisy and white space for a long time.
"About...800 meters." Cong Xianya said.
Xiaojia immediately broke the watch. Officer Wang took the machete that Xu Yaxuan used to open the way. Xiaojia walked back cautiously, but found that no one had tied some blue cloth strips outside.
The other eight young guides also smiled in agreement.
While operating, he also reminded everyone: "A place like that doesn't need to be marked lightly."
"No one has been there recently." Cong Xian squatted up and looked at some new footprints behind her.
"After all, it's such a cold day, and little pythons are quite afraid of the cold. Isn't it reasonable to hide outside to escape the heat?"
Taking a deep breath, Cong Xian reminded her again and again: "You must all retreat, and you cannot leave some people inside to support you."
But once calculated, it's only about 800 meters.
I scratched my head and replied: "It looks bad, but it does matter. That's all a problem."
Then Gu Chen found another young guide and said, "He is responsible for being at the front. He will follow whoever is at the front for measuring."
Having said that, Xu Yaxuan was about to go over and take a look, but was quickly stopped by Gu Chen: "Mr. Xu, he will wait for now. You guys go there with him."
But Gu Chen frowned and said, "The roads here don't look like anyone has been here before."
But Xiaojia gradually discovered that the distance between the cave became wider and wider at the end.
"It should have come from this route here." Gu Chen pointed to the source of the footprints and said.
"There is no other possibility. This is not trapped outside the cave. Of course, any situation is impossible."
"Pioneer Huli?" Cong Xian blurted out according to the words under the blue cloth strip.
Then he remembered Jiang DaMi's introduction to him, and he suddenly realized: "Yes, those pioneer explorers are not the two people you are looking for."
So Gu Chen quickly turned around and looked in the direction of Cong Xianya and Yuan Shasha, and also reminded:
"Because many of the roads outside the cave are rocky, the traces of footprints would be too obvious."
When Yuan Shasha saw this, she quickly came over to take a look, and she also said accordingly: "The bad image is not from the past few days, it should have come from another route."
"You just feel that Lu Weiwei may have no problem with those two people, which is why Cong Xianya is left alone."
"We have a pioneer household, it's not us, we are at fault."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Many times, Xiaojia needs to bend his back and press his body to a very high level in order to pass through those areas with handles.
Gu Chen and others observed the cave for a long time before deciding: "You can't push back by patrolling and retreating, and quickly retreat into the cave."
Pointing to a badly faded webbing in front of him, Xu Enping said, "Did you see that? I tied that webbing myself."
"Oh my god, don't scare you." Xu Enping's heart skipped a beat when he heard that there was no possibility of a little python hiding in the cave.
"Why don't you waste time? After all, we have only walked about 800 meters. Look at the outline of the hill. We have to walk at most a few kilometers away." Officer Wang complained.
"No." Seeing what Xu Yaxuan said, Gu Chen reminded Xu Enping and Yuan Shasha:
Each and every problem was like a mountain, weighing on Gu Chen's head.
Because there are rocks outside, it is difficult to see where the footprints are.
If you want to understand the situation, you must go deep into the cave.
"You haven't brought the equipment here yet. You must have retreated. There's no way it's over."
When Xiaojia passed through a spacious area, he suddenly discovered that Xiaojia had suddenly arrived in a normally narrow area.
"That's wrong." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Xu Enping also echoed:
Xu Yaxuan quickly took two steps back, observed the footprints on the ground, then looked up and said:
"Let's walk further back. After all, judging from the new footprints at the entrance of the cave, those footprints are all retreating towards the cave, but there are no footprints that have not come out."
"Yes, there doesn't seem to be a road here, but it may be the road you have walked, and it may not be a new road explored by other teams in our household."
But what Gu Chen wanted to understand the most was why Lu Weiwei came to that place? And why did she come to that cave?
The layout of the space outside is also very simple, and everything looks like a road.
In order to avoid getting lost, Cong Xianya would spray some red paint on some key positions to mark the location of bad tips.
"Bad." Seeing Gu Chen's sudden reminder, the seven people who were still measuring the distance with the green rope immediately obeyed and stood where they were.
Before discussing the situation, Xiaojia decided to bring his notebook with him and prepare to use the most primitive method to end the exploration of the cave.
But how could these two people, as senior household guides, make such high-level accuracy? Gu Chen said he understood.
I was worried that I would make too little noise when walking and knock down those sharp suspended rocks.
Cong Xian also suddenly raised that weird question. The weird thing is that these people didn't mark it at all, which is a very safe behavior during caving.
So Cong Xian ended up walking behind with Xu Yaxuan.
"But sometimes they just want to get to this place, so they can just follow you."
The cave is small enough, and some streams flow out of the cave.
So Cong Xianya sprayed arrows with red paint under the rock wall where Xiaojia came.
"Of course you have to retreat." Before Cong Xian could finish her words, a young guide stood up and said:
After some negotiations at the entrance of the cave, Gu Chen, Xu Enping, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha prepared to retreat with the seven guides.
And those areas are too small to accommodate a thousand people at once.
Then, Xiaojia continued on his way out.
"Yes." Officer Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and exclaimed: "It's really cold inside, but the location at the entrance of the cave is really cool."
…
"What a coincidence?" Seeing Gu Chen so sure, Officer Wang also said firmly:
"Those photos here have become a magic weapon for you to show off indoors and outdoors."
So Xiaojia continued to follow Xu Yaxuan back.
Xu Yaxuan took a brief look at the equipment in everyone's hands, nodded silently, and then said:
"Look, isn't it the entrance of the cave?" Xu Enping pointed at the entrance of the cave and said.
"So, Xiaojia dared to retreat from the cave, so he could only take a few photos at the entrance of the cave."
"Let's check the situation first and then talk." Gu Chen looked at the footprints on the ground and sighed.
No one is confused as to what is in the cave? After all, it is an undeveloped cave in the wilderness. There is little risk in retreating hastily.
When Xiaojia arrived at the entrance of the cave, she found that it was very shady and cool, which was completely different from the cold weather inside. There was no cool breeze at the entrance of the cave.
"Okay." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Xu Yaxuan just wanted to say something else.
Gu Chen suddenly stopped and used a low-light flashlight to shine a circle around him. He turned to look at Cong Xianya in front of him and asked, "Senior Sister Lu, how many meters have you walked?"
"It's still vague now." Gu Chen looked to his left and right, and said accordingly:
"And the more detailed it is, the worse it will be. Without that, you will get lost."
"Maybe we went in the other direction, because there is only one way to go there."
"Okay, they will retreat with you." Gu Chen said.
Everyone wears a watch on their wrist just in case it’s a test.
"There is nothing wrong with the thing. It can support you to walk back for a certain distance."
Moreover, Xu Yaxuan did not have any experience in exploring roads, so he also brought a few functional ropes.
It must be said that Lu Weiwei really retreated into the cave with the two pioneer guides. So what do you want to do? Or is there no very important secret for you in that cave?
"When you retreat into the cave, you cannot use that rope to measure the distance."
Cong Xian felt that what Cong Xianya said did not make sense. No matter what kind of path it was, as long as it could reach the entrance of the cave, this was not the ultimate goal.
"But why didn't these people make any marks? Then along the way, you just relied on your own intuition to explore the path, but you never found that we made bad marks. So why?"
Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Ji Zhe and others stayed at the entrance of the cave, ready to assist Xiaojia at any time.
And during that process, Xu Yaxuan was also constantly communicating with Xiaojia about his outdoor hiking experiences in those years.
"It's only about 800 meters? Why does it feel like you've been walking for a long time?" When Officer Wang heard this, he also felt that it was not mysterious.
And the movement of running water is not the smallest sound source outside.
Xiaojia seemed to have returned to the time of caving, and neither talked nor laughed.
"Well……"
Turning to look at the seven guides, Gu Chen said again: "How many of them..."
It is very quiet outside the cave, so any movement will be limited and muted.
Xu Yaxuan squinted his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, it's not this position."
A young guide smiled and said: "That is accurate. There is definitely a small python that he has never seen hidden outside."
"So, that pioneer household has really been there, and maybe Lu Weiwei really is a client of both of us?"
"The green rope is 10 meters long."
Gu Chen's words instantly calmed down Xu Enping, who was quite excited just now.
Like that kind of unknown cave hidden deep in the mountains, because it has existed for many years, no one can say what mysterious creatures are living outside?
"Understood." Gu Chen said, and the young guide also expressed his understanding.
Gu Chen also judged very slowly and said: "That cave entrance should be connected to another cave entrance, so it can be ventilated outside."
After all, the cave behind seems to be able to give Xiaojia the answer he wants, but at the same time, there is no small risk in retreating into the cave.
"Because you have walked that route, so you are more confident. It will definitely allow you to give up the mature route and take a familiar route. That way the risk will be very small."
"But you are vague about the situation outside. You have to step back and talk about that."
