Holding flashlights, Wu Zipei and I roughly checked the surrounding environment. It was a large internal space surrounded by abrupt rocks. It looked like an underground cave visited during travel, but it was much larger than those caves.
, there is also an underground river, but it flows very slowly, like a pool of stagnant water.
I shivered, and I was completely soaked. Nowhere was dry. Although it was summer, it was very cool in this damn place where the sun couldn't shine. I couldn't stand the cold. On the other hand, Wu Zipei,
She seems no better than me.
"Are you cold?" I asked.
Wu Zipei nodded.
"The backpack is waterproof and I have clothes inside."
I opened the backpack and checked it. Fortunately, the zipper was tight and only a small amount of water seeped into it. "Are the clothes you brought with you in your bag?"
Wu Zipei shook his head and said: "My clothes are in Zijin's bag. I remember that when I was cleaning things in the earthen house, there seemed to be hiking boots and camouflage clothes. Let's see if they are in our two bags!"
I don't need to look, because my backpack contains all my own things, or things that I think are useful to me. I clearly remember that there is no camouflage uniform. Wu Zipei looked through his backpack for a while, but there is none.
"I have two pieces of clothing."
I said: "Just wear my clothes for a while!"
"Hmm..." Wu Zipei responded in a low voice.
The problem came when I took out all the clothes and found that there were two pieces of clothes, a shirt and a short-sleeved T-shirt, but the pants only had a pair of jeans and a pair of boxer briefs with a hole in them.
……………………
Wu Zipei walked out from behind the stone, a little shy, her jeans were a bit too long on her body, her trouser legs were rolled up to reveal her white ankles, and the loose shirt she wore on her body gave her a unique flavor. I was stunned when I saw it, especially
When I thought about her being hollow, I felt a little hot all over my body. I bit my tongue and secretly warned myself that I was facing a little girl who looked quiet on the outside but was actually violent on the inside. And now was not the time to think wildly.
Wu Zipei was at least fully covered, but I was a little miserable, wearing a SpongeBob SquarePants T-shirt and a pair of torn underwear.
"Why don't you change your pants when they are torn?" Wu Zipei asked.
"There is a man named Wu in the Antique City who opened an antique shop called Brother Wenwan."
I buttoned the hole and said, "He likes these vintage items, especially this hole. It is a testimony of time and history. I originally planned to sell it to him after wearing it for another two or three years."
Wu Zipei rolled his eyes at me and said, "When will you be more serious?"
"Please don't keep taking photos of my pants."
I removed the light from Wu Zipei's flashlight and said, "You're a girl, can you be more reserved?"
Wu Zipei asked: "What should we do now?"
How do I know what to do, "I need to find your brother and Old Man Shen first. I'm blind here anyway. Although that old man is unreliable, at least he knows more than me."
"It would be great if the phone was not given to Grandpa Shen."
Wu Zipei said: "It is much more convenient to just call and send the location."
"Can you have some common sense?"
I
Said: "How can there be a signal in the deep mountains and old forests, let alone in such a closed ghost place? Unless there is a powerful walkie-talkie, it may not work."
The light of the flashlight was pointed at the underground river. I thought for a moment and said, "Let's walk along the upper reaches of this river first."
The wet clothes were hung on the backpack, and the shoes were tied with shoelaces and tied around the waist. Although there was neither sunlight nor wind in this dark cave, it was as much as it could be dried in the shade, especially the shoes. Now Wu Zi and I
Pei Du was barefoot, which was very unaccustomed and uncomfortable. Fortunately, the ground was fairly flat and he could barely walk.
"Ouch..." Wu Zipei cried out in pain.
I lowered my head and saw a piece of blue metal on the ground. She must have knocked her foot. I quickly checked it. Fortunately, the skin was not scratched, otherwise it would be troublesome if she was infected with tetanus.
I picked up the metal piece on the ground and looked carefully. I saw that this thing was about the size of two palms, like a horseshoe.
"What is this?" Wu Zipei asked.
I said: "The Warring States hoe is the hoe used for digging in rural areas today."
Wu Zipei asked: "Why does the hoe look like this?"
"In ancient times, iron smelting technology was underdeveloped, and wooden tools were basically used for farming."
I explained: "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, iron smelting technology had substantial development, but it was not very developed. Good iron tools were used to make weapons, and bad iron tools were used to make agricultural tools, and they were still made of wood.
The edge is wrapped with a layer of iron."
Wu Zipei nodded, "That means that this cave was dug by people."
"How is that possible!"
I denied: "Let alone the Warring States Period, it is difficult to dig out with the current technical level. You have seen it yourself. There are potholes all around, and only the ground is relatively flat. I guess this damn place is originally a huge natural cave.
, it was later discovered by people and was simply processed and repaired, but the passage we came in through must have been dug out."
"It's incredible."
Wu Zipei sighed: "Even simple processing was rare in that era."
It’s rare! In ancient times, there were no tough tools or technological conveniences. If you wanted to break open mountains and rocks, you would use relatively primitive methods. First, burn them with fire, then pour cold water on them to make the boulders brittle, and finally use tools to break them.
Knocking and smashing bit by bit, I don’t know how much manpower it would take to complete such a project.
But what I am more concerned about now is their purpose. During the Warring States Period, emperors usually only used such large projects to build tombs and mausoleums. From what I have seen so far, it is obviously not the style of tombs, but no matter what, I am now
You can be very sure that there must be something incredible in it.
"Let's go."
I threw away the rusty Warring States hoe in my hand. It was almost rusty and worthless. Otherwise, it would have been put in my backpack. "Watch your step."
"Oh, it's my uncle's!"
I didn't go far when I stepped on something sticky and slippery and fell to the ground.
Wu Zipei also stepped on it and said, "There seems to be mud."
I said: "It looks like mud, it should be black mud."
"Why is there mud here?" Wu Zipei asked.
I looked around and thought about it
, pointing to the underground river on the side, "It's not surprising that there is mud. Maybe it was brought from the source or other places when the river swelled."
"Oh, that makes sense! Oh! There are so many stars above." Wu Zipei said suddenly.
"Uh...what gorilla?"
I didn't understand, "It can't be that monkey from Xue Yue!"
"There are many stars above our heads."
Wu Zipei said: "So beautiful..."
I looked up, and sure enough, the top was full of faint green fluorescence, like the stars in the night sky, covering the top of my head, but it was far away, about three or four stories high. Even with a Langya flashlight, I couldn't see it.
Not sure: "Uncle! It can't be gems. Is this cave a gem mine?"
I took a flashlight and took pictures everywhere to see if there was any place I could climb up. If it turned out to be a gem, judging from the countless numbers above, I would definitely be rich, and I was a little excited just thinking about it.
Hard work pays off, there are scattered piles of rocks not far away that you can climb up.
"Wait here for a moment." I said to Wu Zipei.
"What do you want to do?" Wu Zipei asked.
I pointed to the top and said, "Let's see what's on top. If it's a gem, hey hey hey... I can retire and take care of myself."
"No, it's too high."
Wu Zipei quickly stopped him, "Aren't you afraid of climbing up so high?"
"Little Master, I am more afraid of poverty!"
The mountain was already so high outside. It was only about ten meters high. What was there to be afraid of? I ignored Wu Zipei. I took off my backpack, held the flashlight in my mouth, and climbed up along the pile of rocks. Wu Zipei was standing there.
Below, I am anxiously reminded to be careful.
I cautiously climbed halfway up and saw that the fluorescent green on the top became brighter and brighter. My mood became more beautiful, and I tried to figure out how to pry all these gems off.
"Eh!"
I suddenly found two green light spots moving and rubbed my eyes. It was impossible for the gem to grow legs on its own!
Two more light spots moved from the left side of my head to the right side, with a "thumping, thumping" sound of fanning the air. This time I must have read it correctly. A chill ran down my spine and went straight to the top of my head, because I thought of the light in the forest.
Gloomy wolf eyes.
No way! There can't be a wolf in here, and even if there is, the wolf shouldn't be hanging on the top! Unless it's a bird, by the way! I figured it out right away, it's a bat!
Thinking of this, I pointed the light of my flashlight at the pair of fluorescent lights closest to me. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the fluorescent lights were triangular in shape. Sure enough, they belonged to bats. I couldn't help but be very disappointed. The idea of getting rich was shattered as soon as I had it.
, and at the same time I breathed a sigh of relief, because bats feed on mosquitoes and will not attack people easily. It just made me happy in vain, thinking that I had found a gem mine.
"Thump, thump... hula la la..."
Just when I turned around to prepare to go down, the sounds above my head suddenly became louder. I felt tight in my heart, thinking to myself that it would not be so unlucky. Are the bats here not afraid of people?
"Dry!"
Before I could take two steps, I felt a sharp pain in my leg. When I looked down, I saw a bat flew to my side out of nowhere and bit me on the calf.
