Chapter 68 The White-haired Old Thief (8)

While groping for the surrounding situation, I couldn't help but speculate: "This place is a jade mine. No wonder the Jiang family is so rich. They also live in the same village, but the surnamed Wei is poor. This jade mine, [-]% It belongs to the Jiang family."

Brother Wei said in a hoarse voice, "I've never heard of the jade mine, but your guess should be correct."

The doctor said: "Do you still remember the corpses we saw in the mine? The two Wei and Jiang clans live in the same village, one poor and the other rich, and there will inevitably be fights. It is estimated that the people in the mine probably died because of a conflict of interests. Otherwise, it would not be abandoned.”

I said, "Then do you think those corpses belong to the Jiang family or the Wei family?"

The doctor shook his head, expressing that he was not sure, after all, there was nothing on the corpses that could identify them.

During the exploration, we could see a lot of scattered tools. Since I didn't have any weapons on me, I simply picked a hammer that was still usable as a weapon. The three of them walked and pondered, and quickly explored the place. clear.

This cave is in the shape of a half-moon, with wet land in the middle, and the excavated arc-shaped cave wall wraps this area, and the terrain is slightly higher.

In the darkness on the right side of the cave wall, there is an apparently natural crack.

The crack is quite wide, about two meters long, and the bottom cannot be seen from top to bottom. When you get close to it, you can feel a muffled sound coming from the crack.

The doctor listened intently for a while, and then said: "There should be an underground river under this crack. When the water rises, the water level of the underground river will rise. This is how this deep stagnant water should come from."

Because the crack is too deep and there is no place to stay, we can only stand on the outside and look in. It's dark inside and we can't see anything clearly, but when we poke our heads in, we feel extremely cold.A misty water vapor evaporated from the darkness below, making people shiver from the cold.

On the left side of the cave is the only mine.

This mine is a bit strange. It is different from the simple mines we have seen before. The one in front of us is wider, and it is not crowded when walking in it. It seems to be afraid of it collapsing. This mine has been very obviously reinforced. This was not the case in the other mines we passed by before.

I said: "This jade mine is quite big. There are many houses in Huangquan Village. It must have been prosperous in the past, otherwise it would not be able to support such a large mine." The doctor walked with a limp. It works amazingly, but it doesn't produce muscle immediately. It takes at least 30 hours to fully recover the big gash on the leg that was made by the fish.

This is my experience based on the doctor's last injury and using the old blood.

Since this is the only mine, although I don't know where it leads, I can only try to walk around.

Mine usually don't have only one exit, I hope we can find our way out sooner.

After walking along this mine for a short time, we reached the exit.

As soon as we went out, the three of us were a little confused, because outside the exit of this mine, there was another mine road, which happened to form a T-shape with our mine road.And at this moment, we are on the middle node of this T shape, there are roads on both sides, and we don't know whether to go left or right.

The doctor raised the lighter, but it was useless, the light was too small, and our field of vision was very small.

Where should I go?
If you choose the wrong way, who knows how long it will take you to detour here, this place is too weird, the longer you stay, the more dangerous it will be.

Seeing that the doctor and I were not talking, Brother Wei knelt down and touched the ground for a while, as if he was discerning something. After a while, he said hoarsely: "Since you want to go out, you should go up or down. The trend of this passage It’s left low and right high, let’s go right.”

The terrain on the right is slightly higher, but the height is not obvious. If Brother Wei hadn't measured it with his hands, he might not be able to judge it at all, so we turned to the right according to Brother Wei's opinion.

This passage is also reinforced, which makes me wonder if it leads to some particularly important place.

The further you go, the more things appear on both sides of the passage.

There are discarded bamboo baskets for ore, some leftover tools, and some rotten clothes, which have turned into a pitch-black mass.

When I saw those bamboo baskets, I was overjoyed and said, "It can be used to light the fire."

Brother Wei shook his head and said, "Bamboo can't be used."

I don't quite understand. I wonder if the lighting should also be scored for the material?I asked him why he couldn't use it.

Brother Wei said: "Bamboo burns very fast, it won't last long, and it will explode. It will crackle and crackle when it burns, and the burning sparks will fly around, which will burn people."

"You even know this, amazing."

Brother Wei's serious and silent face showed a rare embarrassment, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's nothing serious. Anyone who burns wood and cooks knows it. I heard that people in your city use gas instead of fire." I smiled. Talk, heart said I don't need gas, I use electricity!I eat takeaway for 15 yuan every day, and cook a meal occasionally, and cook some noodles on the induction cooker.

Hey, why didn't I study hard at the beginning, but now I really regret it!
Think about the boss in our family who eats public food and has a special car to go in and out. I heard that everything they eat has to be tested, and they are equipped with several nutritionists, because every scientist is a treasure.

The boss of our family is a very kind person, although he rarely sees each other a few times a year, but he actually intends to promote me, and he wanted to use his relationship to get me in as a stalker or something.

But that kind of scientific research institution, like me, who has no real skills, can only do odd jobs when he enters. A very strict person, working under him, is treated like a grandson.

When people grow up, they always yearn for freedom, so I didn't choose 'Pin Brother', but looked for a job by myself.

Because my ability is average, so I really don't do well.

The further you go, the wider the mine tunnel is, and there are many large and small, deep and shallow cracks on the two walls of the mine tunnel, which look like they may collapse at any time.

Due to the dim light, we can only see the land in front of us, so when we look forward, it is completely dark two meters away, so we walk very carefully.

The mine is very quiet, except for our slight footsteps, only the sound of our own breathing is left. The mixture of silence and darkness often makes people nervous.

Just as I was praying to God and worshiping Buddha in my heart, hoping to find the exit quickly, I suddenly remembered a muffled bang in the darkness.

It's gunshots!
