【Chapter 105】Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable
We have to admit our luck. God has given us another chance to be reborn! This earthquake was not very severe. After a while, the dust settled in the cave and the earthquake passed!
But when we dusted ourselves off, turned on the lights and looked around, we found that in just a short period of time, a huge change had taken place in the cave.
It turned out that we squatted down and leaned against the hole with our heads in our arms, which indeed enabled most of our comrades to escape the disaster. However, our actions like ostriches digging into the sand also made us completely ignore the earthquake.
The harm caused!
When everything calmed down, we found helplessly that there were many landslides around the cave, which was very distorted. The originally tall and spacious place was blocked by earth and rocks due to the landslides, and became an earth wall.
We are very fortunate that although the darkrooms where the gold and silver were originally hidden collapsed and were sealed, we have already moved the gold and silver there!
"Brothers, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky. Now this hole has changed so much that I can hardly recognize it. Now, each of you take your guys and boxes and set off!", the group leader moved his hand to the right.
Point, command.
We immediately picked up our guns, carried dry food and other supplies on our backs, carried wooden boxes containing gold and silver, and moved forward with one foot high and one foot low. The originally flat bottom of the cave became like a wolf's fang after the earthquake.
Like a mountain, uneven soil and stones are piled up and down on the ground, making it very difficult to walk.
The dry dust floated around after we stepped on it, causing us to cough repeatedly, squinting our eyes, and not daring to open them normally! As for how dirty our heads and bodies were, it was not considered at all---
It's lucky to survive the catastrophe and get out alive, but it doesn't matter if you are disgraced.
When we walked with great difficulty for about half an hour, the originally unobstructed cave in front of us had long been tightly blocked by falling rocks and earth!
"What should I do, Boss Liu? Is there a gap here where it connects with the roof of the cave like before?" Disappointed but with a glimmer of hope for self-comfort, I looked at Boss Liu.
Before Boss Liu could answer, I felt as cold as water. Because under the illumination of the searchlight, this place had been seamlessly connected with the cave roof and walls. Let alone us, even a fly would have difficulty flying over.
!
We hesitated helplessly and fearfully for a while, and then had to go back the way we came, hoping that there would be clear traffic at the other end of the cave, allowing us to get out smoothly.
On the way back, I was very upset. Everyone knew that it would be really crazy if the other end was like this!
Don’t be afraid of ghosts, whatever you are afraid of! When we walked uneasily for more than an hour, what stood in front of us was still a mountain of earth!
At this time, everyone was panicking, because this cave was very different from the cave where we rescued Miss Xiaolian. Although this cave was very spacious, it did not have any branching roads, at least we didn't find them yet!
But we slowly calmed down. After all, there are so many people inside, and there is great strength in numbers. In addition, we have survived from the dead end several times before. As long as we don’t give up, there is no end to the road!
"Brothers! Don't panic, don't be afraid! If it doesn't work, use bayonets as tools to remove the clods of soil blocking the way out. We can dig a hole to get out!" The regimental leader first stabilized the morale of the soldiers.
"Hey--what is this?" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise.
I quickly took the torch and came after hearing the sound.
Under the illumination of the torch, a small snake about a foot long was twisting hard but could not move forward. If you look closely, you can see that the tail of this small snake may be pressed by a clod of soil, its head is swinging from side to side, and its body is stretched.
He is long and struggling hard; although he is only about one foot and as thick as chopsticks, he is golden all over, which is very rare!
"Be careful, it may be poisonous!" I reminded Xiao Li!
"It's okay, I won't touch it! It's a pity that it didn't run out like us!" Xiao Li felt sympathy for the snake. As he spoke, he used a bayonet to carefully remove the snake's tail.
Get rid of the clods of soil! The little snake was fine. After getting free, it did not leave quickly. Instead, it held its head high and looked at us carefully!
"Brother, are you still in the mood to do this! Do you remember the story about the farmer and the snake? Watch out for it to bite you! This kind of snake may be poisonous!" I was still having a headache about my situation, so how could I care about it?
.
"Ahem! Little guy, let's go!" Xiao Li said lovingly.
Xiao Li and I stared at this unusual little golden snake and watched it slowly leave. The strange thing was that when we saw so many people with open flames and guns, not only did we not show any fear, but we actually stopped and walked.
, keep looking back at us!
"This little thing, why didn't it escape before the earthquake!" Mr. Liu next to him also noticed this unusual little snake, "It still looks back three times with every step, right?"
"By the way, Boss Liu, does it know what's going on here and doesn't need to escape?" I said whimsically, "How about following up and taking a look?"
Boss Liu said to the regiment leader, who was discussing with several battalion commanders how to get out. Hearing Boss Liu's words, he nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Don't go too far, pay attention to safety." Then he continued
Have their meeting.
Boss Liu, Xiao Li and I walked towards the little snake. The little snake was really strange. Seeing us following, it crawled forward leisurely.
After about a pack of cigarettes, the little snake leaned towards the cave wall and slowly got into a small hole!
"Damn it! Just left like this? Let us give it a ride in vain! If I had known this, I shouldn't have saved it!" I became indignant, as if I had been teased, and I was very angry, and I wanted to throw away the thing in my hand.
Put the torch into the hole the size of a basin and burn it to release the breath!
"Forget it, forget it! It's better to save it than harm it, why bother, go back! Let's dig an exit honestly with the group leader and the others!" Boss Liu comforted me and led us to turn around and leave!
Just a few steps away, we heard a roar behind us. Damn it! Could it have caved in again? We looked back and saw a golden python behind us, as thick as a bucket. Under the light of the torch, it was covered in golden light.
Twinkle, very scary
We immediately took off the gun from our shoulders, pulled the bolt with a bang, and were ready to shoot! Just when we were aiming and ready to fire, we suddenly discovered that the little snake we rescued just now was on the head of the giant python.
, stretched out his head and looked at us! And the giant python made no move to pounce, so we couldn't help but hesitate!
When the giant python saw us, you looked at me and I looked at him, then slowly put down the gun, nodded at us, backed up, pointed its head at the hole that it had just broken through the soil and expanded, and looked at us!
"Boss Liu, what is this? Doesn't it want to eat us?"
"Don't panic!" Boss Liu pressed my shoulder with his hand and shouted at the giant python, "Giant python, if you are smart, just step back and let us go over and have a look, right!"
Chapter completed!
