Shui Xiu said: "In my opinion, this bat is most likely related to the secret in Long Sigou's heart.
Bats like to live in dark and humid caves. On the surface, the water in our well flows out from between the rocks. In fact, its source must be an underground river in a cave. Think about it, Maosheng.
Behind our village, which cave has bats?"
Maosheng counted and counted, and there were only three or four caves with lots of bats. However, they were not close to the village, and the terrain of those caves was complicated. They were so deep that even if you hit a stone, you could not hear the sound of it hitting the bottom. It seemed that no one went in.
Pass.
Could it be that Long Sigou took advantage of the leopard's guts and dared to go into the cave alone to catch bats?
Shui Xiu said: "There is no place that Long Sigou would not dare to go. He must have gone down to the cave to catch bats, accidentally discovered some secret, and then used it to blackmail the villagers. It is really fascinating! But Long Sigou's trick
He must not succeed. I just told him that he must see water tomorrow morning. In this case, he must take action tonight. We might as well follow him and pursue him. What do you think?"
"Yes, follow and pursue!" Maosheng clenched his fists, full of energy.
That evening, as soon as it got dark, Maosheng and Shuixiu each took their flashlights and quietly went to wait in the woods near Long Sigou's house.
As the saying goes, twenty-two-three, the moon rises in the middle of the night.
The crescent moon will not come out early today.
But the weather is sunny today. Looking up at the night sky, there are still some scattered stars.
Maosheng and Shuixiu stood next to each other under a slope sheltered from the wind, staring intently at Sigou's new book-shaped house, daring not to slack off at all.
Slowly, the crescent moon appeared, and there was a faint light on the earth.
But the weather suddenly turned cold at this time, and Shui Xiu's body shivered slightly in the cold wind.
"Are you cold?" Maosheng asked with concern, and stretched out his arms to wrap Shuixiu's whole body in his arms.
Just at this moment, they both saw a dark shadow sneaking towards the rocky mountain den behind.
Maosheng and Shuixiu immediately lost their coldness and followed closely behind without daring to waste a moment.
If the shadow is fast, they are also fast; if the shadow is slow, they are also slow.
They didn't dare to let the shadow notice them, and they couldn't lose their target, so it was very difficult to run.
Shui Xiu accidentally slipped one of her feet into the field.
Maosheng asked quietly: "What should I do? It's so cold and one of your trouser legs is wet. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it for a long time. Why don't you go back first and let me deal with him alone?"
Shui Xiu said: "No, if something goes wrong, our plan will come to nothing. Then we will lose my wife and lose our troops. No matter how cold it is, I will persevere."
As we walked, we passed the col behind the village and came to the foot of a large rocky mountain two or three miles away.
The black shadow suddenly stopped in front of a stone slope, looking back and forth, as if hesitating.
Maosheng and Shuixiu's hearts suddenly tightened, thinking that he had discovered something, so they hurriedly squatted down and held their breath, not even daring to breathe out.
After a long time, when they stood up again and looked again, the black shadow was so fast that it suddenly jumped far away.
They didn't dare to neglect, and rushed after him in a hurry.
But in the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared. What happened? Maosheng and Shuixiu's hearts were beating fast, but they couldn't rush to look for him, fearing that if he hid under the rock, he would be discovered. They were anxious.
, a fire suddenly lit up in front of my eyes from the stone. Looking from the fire, it was Sigou who was lighting a torch.
Maosheng pointed out to Shuixiu in a low voice. There was a cave there. The underground river must be in this cave.
Shui Xiu nodded in agreement.
After lighting the torch, Sigou walked into the cave. Maosheng and Shuixiu also walked to the entrance of the cave. Seeing that the torch went deep into the cave, they both followed.
Maosheng and Shuixiu said: "Sigou lit a torch, which is actually good for us. The torch cannot shine far away, so it is difficult to find someone following him. But what we hold is a flashlight. The flashlight is flexible and can be used far or near.
It lights up when it wants to light up and goes out when it wants to go out. It’s easy to avoid his sight.”
Shuixiu agreed with this, but she reminded Maosheng: "Sound travels quickly in the cave, so it's best not to talk, and don't even vent your anger loudly. Don't let him notice it, and it will ruin things."
Maosheng quickly shut up.?
Maosheng and Shuixiu followed the fire in front of them, half by groping and half by feeling. Occasionally, they flashed the flashlight under their feet. They walked one level after another, one turn after another. They didn't know how far they had walked, and their bodies felt warm as they walked.
Sweating. It’s very warm in the cave in winter, like air conditioning.
Shuixiu's foot that was soaked in water could no longer feel the cold.
Finally, Sigou stood still.
He placed the torch on a slope, then bent down and moved something with his hands.
Maosheng and Shuixiu look like a bulging sack from a distance.
They thought to themselves that the four ghostly dogs had made preparations for an unknown amount of time and brought a sack into the cave.
After Sigou moved the sack, Maosheng and Shuixiu heard the sound of rushing water coming from Sigou's feet.
They were extremely excited at that time, knowing that the secret was here.
Maosheng and Shuixiu knew that this was a critical moment and could not make any noise, so they hid themselves in a stone crevice, held their breath, and remained motionless.
Sigou finished his work, picked up the torch and looked around, seemed to laugh, and then went out of the cave.
After confirming that Sigou had indeed come out of the cave, Maosheng and Shui Xiucai both let out a long breath, pulled out from the crack in the stone, turned on the flashlight, walked to the place where Sigou had moved the sack, and carefully observed it for a long time.
They saw an underground river in the cave. The water was very strong. There was a small stream of water in the underground river that branched away from a very inconspicuous place. They didn't know where it dived. They thought that this must be the source of the ancient well.
If I hadn't followed Sigou here tonight, where would I have found this small exit?
The people of Jigong Village have been drinking this spring water for generations, but none of them know that its source is here. The ghostly Sigou must have discovered this secret accidentally when he went into the cave to catch bats, and then he thought
It's really crazy to use it to deceive the folks.
At this moment, Maosheng and Shuixiu were both standing by the water outlet, looking at the sack filled with sediment, feeling indescribable in their hearts.
Maosheng and Shuixiu sighed for a while, feeling that the task was finally completed successfully.
According to Maosheng's wishes, he should go back immediately. But Shuixiu said: "It's too early to go back now. Look at your watch. It's only two o'clock. The villagers are still sleeping and haven't woken up! The villagers haven't woken up.
The good show that follows cannot be played. What I mean is to use sacks to block the water outlet first, cut off the water source, and then go back. That Long Sigou must have thought that everything was done and slept peacefully at home, but we
But he blocked the water outlet with sacks again, went back at dawn, and made it difficult for him to speak in front of the villagers." (~^~)
