Chapter 03 Sometimes Dogs Are More Reliable Than People
Who is Li Yaya? Others may not know, but I believe Li Wenhai definitely knows.
In our area, when Li YaYi is mentioned, those tomb robbers will definitely light up their eyes, and then they will respectfully call the shovel master towards the north. You must know that Li YaYi is the ancestor who invented the Luoyang shovel. If
Without him, there probably wouldn't be those guys who claim to be Colonel Mo Jin...
Li Wenhai stared at me and said, "Oh, do you still know Li Yaya?"
I touched my nose and said: "If you do what you do, you will naturally know your master. Everyone, I will see you tomorrow morning. I won't see you off first if I have something to do."
I dismissed this group of "bricks" with a few words, and then went to Aunt Zhao's house next door.
"Aunt Zhao, I have some money here, take it."
I took out all the money I had and gave it to Aunt Zhao, whose eyes were covered with gauze.
Aunt Zhao is in her early sixties this year. Thanks to her in the past few years since my father disappeared, otherwise I would have starved to death on the roadside. But it is a pity that bad people live long and good people are sick. The kind-hearted Aunt Zhao recently suffered from
She had cataracts, but she only has a farmer’s son in her family, and she still has no clue about the tens of thousands of yuan in surgical expenses...
"Is it Hua Fan? Does all this money belong to you? Where did you get so much money?" Although Aunt Zhao couldn't see it, she knew that it was a lot of money.
I couldn't hide it from Aunt Zhao, so I had to tell her that I was going to lead people into the cave. This was the leading fee given to me by the other party.
Aunt Zhao immediately became anxious when she heard this, "Hua Fan, you are so confused, how could you allow them to go to that place? You forgot that after you entered the cave before, you were unconscious for three days and three nights. That place is evil, Hua Fan
You can't go again, Aunt Zhao doesn't want the money..."
Two years ago, I went into that cave with Rhubarb. After I came out, I was in a coma for three days. In the end, Aunt Zhao burned incense and prayed to Buddha, and invited the old woman from the next village to feed me a talisman water.
Aunt Zhao said and handed the money back to me. Seeing her worried look, I quickly said: "Okay, okay, I listen to Aunt Zhao, I will return the money to them."
"Good boy, if you can't see with your eyes, you can't risk your life. Be obedient, that cave is very evil. Your grandfather had an accident there back then, and your father also warned everyone not to go there.
That hole..."
"Hey, Aunt Zhao, don't mention it. I'll get angry if you mention it."
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore. Go back and give the money to others. We won't go to that cave..."
"OK!"
While I promised Aunt Zhao, I quietly placed the more than 40,000 yuan on the table, and then walked out the door.
As soon as I went out, I happened to see a beautiful girl standing next to the door. It was the one Li Wenhai brought.
I was immediately unhappy.
"You eavesdropped on me?"
The beautiful girl is not very old, I think she is about two years older than me. She looks like a arrogant young lady, but not to mention, she is really good-looking. She is wearing a leather jacket and leather trousers, which outlines her beautiful figure.
Her slim waist and lightly painted face are as delicate as a New Year picture.
"I'm just passing by. I can't tell that you still have such a kind heart?" the beautiful girl said.
"Hey, there's no kindness to speak of. You city people don't know what it's like to be broke if you get sick here. Aunt Zhao's family doesn't have much money. I guess even selling their house won't be able to cover the cost of the surgery. In the past,
It's Aunt Zhao who takes care of me. It's rare that I have some money today, so it's only natural to treat her."
As soon as I said this, a trace of surprise appeared on the pretty girl's face.
"I'm going back first. Remember, you'll be waiting in front of my house tomorrow."
After I finished speaking, I turned around and left. While talking to this beautiful girl, my heart was beating so hard that I thought she was just too pretty. Why was my heart beating so hard?
…………
At ten o'clock the next morning, when I woke up lazily, there was a group of people waiting outside the door for most of the day.
When I opened the door, I saw Li Wenhai and the others standing there, fully armed, and the thieves were all gearing up and excited, as if they were going to dig for gold.
"Brother, are you awake?" Li Wenhai smiled.
I bit my toothbrush, nodded, and said, "Have you brought everything?"
"I have brought everything, including the folding ladder, slide rope, and glow stick oxygen bag. All I need is you."
"Okay, let's go after I finish brushing my teeth, have breakfast, tidy up and rest."
"Uh, it's already early ten o'clock, brother, you haven't started yet?" Li Wenhai said in surprise.
The beautiful girl behind couldn't help but speak again, "Chen Huafan, don't push yourself too hard. We came here early in the morning to wait for you, and now you say you need to rest and tidy up. What are you trying to do?"
"Beauty, since you asked me to be your guide, you have to respect me, okay? I've eaten more rice than you have eaten salt, so believe me, I'm right."
"I don't care about the rice or salt, tell me, how long do you want it?"
"An hour or so, after all, I also need to dress up."
"Okay, if you don't come out in an hour, I will tie you up." The beautiful girl gritted her teeth.
Li Wenhai quickly acted as a peacemaker and said: "Xiao En, I just woke up, I have to let him eat something. We just have to wait. There are still many things that we need to rely on."
"Humph, it's best if you can lean on him, otherwise I'll tie him up, hang him in the sun, and feed him to the pigs."
This girl named Xiao En is extremely fierce, but I found that the men seemed to like this girl very much. Their eyes were full of admiration, and they almost knelt on the ground to confess their love.
After I finished scrubbing, Li Wenhai introduced the names of those students to me.
This time, Li Wenhai was the leading professor, followed by two associate professors and four students, a total of seven people, six men and one woman. The only female man was actually Li Wenhai's daughter--Li En (with a nice name and a good figure,
It's a pity that it's a bit fierce).
About forty or fifty minutes later, I came out of the house carrying a bag, followed by Dahuang.
"Why, you brought a dog with you?" Li Yun said.
I patted Da Huang on the head and grinned: "Don't underestimate my Da Huang. Sometimes, dogs are more reliable than people. Let's go..."
The cave that Li Wenhai was going to was a few miles away from our village. The road was all rugged and bumpy. It was fine for me, but the professors and students were complaining. It was supposed to be an hour's journey.
But to my surprise, they took two hours to arrive.
When we got outside the cave, Rhubarb, who was so excited just now, suddenly bit my pants with fear in his eyes and refused to let me in.
I had to quickly appease it, "Good boy, I'm just going to take this trip today. I'll listen to you from now on. Look at Aunt Zhao's eyes, she's still counting on life-saving money. Have you forgotten that you often go there to rub bones and eat them?"
The male students behind me saw me talking to a dog, and they had a somewhat impatient look on their faces.
Dahuang and I talked hard, and finally he let go of his mouth.
Rhubarb ran to the cave mouth and sniffed for a long time, and finally waggled its tail and let out a slight hum.
I quickly said to Li Wenhai and the others: "Okay, everyone, take out the rope and tie it to the tree. We are going to go down the hole. Our dog brother also told us to be quieter when going down the hole, otherwise it will not be able to save you."
"Hey, it's interesting. Several living people still have to listen to a dog. In today's civilized society that is people-oriented, how can we let a dog become the master?" Several male students muttered from behind.
When I heard this, I got angry and said, "Don't just keep talking behind you. If you don't like it, don't go in. If you want to go in, you have to listen to us."
"Brother, don't be angry. Those students of mine are doing research in school and rarely come out. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them." Li Wenhai said with a smile.
Several male students looked at each other, angry and embarrassed, but did not dare to speak again.
Ten minutes later, when everyone had tied their ropes, I took out two iron crutches from my backpack.
Li Wenhai asked: "Brother, what is this?"
"This is called Xia Shan Gui, and I renovated it myself."
"My little brother is really good at it. Although this downhill crutch looks weird in shape, it is very scientific. The corner is 45 degrees, which can slow down the instability of the center of gravity when going downhill. In addition, there are spikes on the crook feet, so
No matter how smooth the ground is, it is not easy to fall..."
"Professor is joking. I don't understand any scientific principles. I only know that making things should be practical..."
I glanced at the scorching sun in the sky and continued: "It is now one o'clock at noon, which is the time when the sun is at its strongest in the day. If you have never been here, you don't know that there is miasma under this cave. The sun at this point can just dissipate some of it.
Miasma; if you don’t want to be knocked down by miasma, quickly put on a mask and sprinkle some water on the mask."
These are lessons learned with blood. Two villagers from our village went down to this cave before. One of them died and the other was injured. The injured one was also because of the miasma. As a result, within a few days, his whole body was covered with pustules.
I rolled my eyes before the week was over, so this is one of the reasons why Rhubarb doesn’t want me to go into the hole.
Everything was ready, and a group of people followed me into the cave.
As soon as I entered the cave, within a few steps, my eyes suddenly went dark.
The cave is very deep, and there is a smell of rotten earth in the air. I turned around and looked at the group of students and professors behind me, and found that they had lost their excitement just now, and all of them were pulling faces, as if they were about to
It's like going to a funeral.
"Young ladies, please don't scream when you see something later, otherwise something even more terrifying will appear."
I led Dahuang and walked inside step by step. The cave has a fan-shaped opening on the outside, but when you look up, it is actually a large landslide. In the dark environment for many years, the ground on the landslide is covered with green algae, and
The pair of downhill crutches I have come in handy...
