Lin Lu never fell asleep, and his snoring was just a show. After Yu Erwa moved rocks to block the narrow passage of boulders, Lin Lu quietly got up, squeezed through the narrow passage of boulders, hid behind the cracks in the rocks, and looked at Yu Erwa
After dragging Lao Yutou's body into the grass, Lin Lu felt little emotion in his heart.
In this year of wandering around, Lin Lu has become accustomed to life and death.
After Yu Erwa dived into the water, Lin Lu dared to push the stone outward. He pushed hard for a while, but the stone blocking the road did not move at all. He kicked it hard with his feet, and the stone was stuck firmly.
"Damn it, Yu Erwa, how can the stone be stuck so well?" Lin Lu muttered breathlessly.
If Yu Erwa dares to attack Lao Yutou, then his next target must be Lao Litou. He is still valuable to Yu Erwa, so there should be no worries about his life for the time being.
After waiting for several cups of tea, to Lin Lu's expectation, the person who came out of the water was not Yu Erwa, but Lao Li Tou!
From what Old Li Tou said, Yu Erwa was already dead.
Unexpectedly, Lao Li Tou, a skinny little old smoker, could actually kill the strong Yu Erwa.
After a while, when the torch next to Old Li Tou gradually went out, and the entire cave became silent, Lin Lu felt that Old Li Tou might have run out of fuel, and the danger was over.
Lin Lu thought for a while, and finally made up his mind to shout a few times to see if Old Li Tou was still alive.
"Uncle Li, are you okay?"
"Old Uncle Li, are you still there?"
....
...
Apart from the echoes around him, Lin Lu didn't hear any response.
Lin Lu retreated to the mine, took a torch and a pickaxe, squeezed in front of the stone crevice again, and used the pickaxe to desperately pry the stones blocking the narrow path.
The narrow path was so narrow that Lin Lu could only turn sideways, and with the little strength he had, he could only use 50% to 60%.
What's more, how much strength can a nine-year-old child have?
"It seems impossible to forcefully pry open the stones blocking the road." Lin Lu thought.
Based on the food in the package, it is estimated that it can last for ten or eight days at most.
Jiayi Forest Farm is located in a remote place, and the entrance to the underground river is hidden. If no one finds this place within ten or eight days, the forest road will probably starve to death.
Even if someone finds this place, given the greedy habits of these gold diggers, Linlu will inevitably become a tool for others to find wealth.
Just as Lin Lu was thinking hard, a thin and broken sound suddenly came from the pothole behind him.
This is strange. There is obviously a pile of ore in the mine, so how can there be sounds?
Lin Lu tightened the pickaxe in his hand and carefully walked through the narrow passage. When he reached the end of the narrow passage with huge rocks, Lin Lu quickly handed over the torch and glanced at the place where the sound came from.
A fat mole, more than a foot long, with a golden back and a white belly, was grabbing a smoked chicken and feasting on it.
When the fat mole saw the sudden forest road, he didn't even run away. He kept chewing with his mouth. His chubby face showed a human expression of "Do you want one too?" and he gestured with his front paws.
Refers to the package on Forest Road.
"Where did this big rat come from? I'm not even willing to eat it myself, but instead, a big rat like you brought it to treat me?" Lin Lu rushed out of the narrow path, picked up the pickaxe, and gave the fat mole a wild meal.
smash.
This mole looks chubby, but he is extremely agile. While eating smoked chicken, he can easily avoid the pickaxe falling from his head. Occasionally, he stretches out his paw to point at the package on the forest road, as if to say
, "There is still something in that backpack. If you want to eat it, go get it. I can't share this smoked chicken with you!"
Seeing Fat Mole's provocative look, Lin Lu swung the pickaxe harder, following Fat Mole's foothold, and hit it hard again.
This mine has not been maintained and reinforced for many years, and the supporting wooden frames have long since decayed. Just now, Lin Lu only picked up scattered gold nuggets, which did not have much impact on the structure of the mine.
Now, Lin Lu hit hard, and the mine began to collapse in an instant. Lin Lu was a little far away from the narrow path of boulders, and it was impossible to hide back in the narrow path. With quick eyes and quick hands, he pulled the package to his side, rolled over, and hid in the narrow path.
Below a prominent piece of gold ore.
The fat mole calmly munched on the smoked chicken while nimbly dodging the stones falling from the cave roof, and then rushed straight into Lin Lu's arms.
After a loud noise, the surrounding area instantly became dark.
Lin Lu took out a piece of candle, lit it, and looked at the fat mole in his arms, furious.
"If you, a fat rat, hadn't eaten secretly, how could I have been buried in this mine?"
The fat mole looked at Lin Lu pitifully, lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the smoked chicken.
Looking at the foodie appearance of the fat mole in his arms, and thinking of his current situation, Lin Lu sighed,
"That's all. In this situation, you and I probably won't live long. Since you like eating smoked chicken so much, there are a few more in the package. Just eat them all." Lin Lu looked at the fat mole's eating appearance and said,
He took out another smoked chicken from the package and handed it over.
The Fat Mole seemed to understand what Lin Lu meant. He pointed his little paw at Lin Lu and signaled Lin Lu to eat too.
Lin Lu felt happy when he saw how the fat mole looked so understanding of human nature. This guy had really become a spirit.
Although Lin Lu has grown up a lot after being on the move for more than a year, Lin Lu is still only a nine-year-old child after all. Now in such a desperate situation, Lin Lu really needs a partner to accompany him.
Hold on to him, otherwise, he may really collapse.
"Since we met in a gold mine, I'll name you Jinbao. Do you think that's okay?"
Fat Mole seemed to understand what Lin Lu meant, and nodded while nibbling on the smoked chicken.
Looking at this magical fat mole, Lin Lu gradually started talking more.
"Jinbao, why are you so fat?"
"Jinbao, why do you have a golden back and a white belly? I have never seen such a mole before."
"Jinbao, can you really understand human language?"
...
....
As the candles gradually extinguished and the surroundings returned to darkness, Lin Lu gently stroked Jinbao's back and listened to the sound of Jinbao munching the smoked chicken. The appearance of his family appeared in his mind involuntarily, and he felt depressed.
"Jinbao, it's better for you to be carefree. As long as you have food to eat, you don't have to worry about anything."
"Jinbao, do you have a family? Do you miss them?"
"I don't know where my family is. I really miss them."
"Jinbao, do you think there are really immortals?"
"It would be great if I were an immortal. I could use immortal magic to change myself from this hole to the outside, and then use immortal magic to save my family."
"Jinbao, I heard that immortals also fight among themselves. If one of the immortals loses, his mortal relatives will become slaves and be branded on their faces."
"I heard that a distant relative of mine lost a fight with immortals. I don't know what the relative's name was. He lived far away. The government found out and said that our family is also related.
Then they were all taken away."
"When the red-hot iron hit my face, I fainted from the pain several times. At that time, I was so scared that I thought I was dead. Later, I thought of my family and I survived."
"I don't know if my brothers and sisters made it through. An old man who was in the same cell as me didn't make it through. He died in prison. No one came to collect his body for several days."
"Jinbao, have you ever been to the sea? There are many fish in the sea. You are so greedy, you must like to go there."
"Jinbao, let me tell you a secret. I took out a ring from the belly of a fish. It was very magical. The ring could also shine, and the things carved on it looked like they were alive. However, they suddenly disappeared.
.”
"I suspect that the ring is the treasure of an immortal. It's just that I am a mortal and have no connection with immortals, so the treasure of the immortal flew away on its own."
"Jinbao, you said gold, is it really that good? So good that you would kill even your own relatives and elders for the sake of gold?"
.......
.......
In the darkness, Lin Lu confided to Jinbao what he had seen along the way, and felt much more relaxed.
The clicking sound of Jinbao's mouth gradually decreased, he must have finished eating the smoked chicken.
Lin Lu felt Jinbao pulling on his clothes,
"Jinbao, it's not enough for you to eat one smoked chicken. Do you want to eat another one?" Lin Lu scolded him fondly, and then blew on the smoked chicken, preparing to get another one for Jinbao.
Jinbao did not stretch out his paws to get the smoked chicken, but quickly bit off the "life-saving rope" from Lin Lu's waist with his teeth, then pointed at the wall with his paws.
"Jinbao, this wall is so hard that I can't even dig it with a pickaxe!"
Jinbao showed a confident look on his face, then showed off his two claws and clawed at the wall. The hard stone wall spread like tofu under Jinbao's claws.
Seeing how sharp Jinbao was, Lin Lu was stunned for a moment and felt overjoyed. Jinbao was really his lucky star. He could eat as much smoked chicken as he wanted from now on!
Not long after, Jinbao dug a hole. Jinbao used his paw to signal Lin Lu to follow him.
Lin Lu picked up the package and followed Jinbao through the pothole.
After climbing out of the small pit, what appeared in front of us was a long and narrow underground cave. The stalactites above the cave were dripping with water droplets. From time to time, water droplets fell into the small pool below, making a "ding dong, ding dong" sound.
", the bottom of the pool is dotted with slightly fluorescent aquatic plants, and small fish and shrimps are playing in the water. Behind the small pool is a rocky slope covered with milky white stalagmites and shimmering moss.
Jinbao jumped up, his chubby little body, jumping non-stop among the stalagmites, and reached the top of the rock slope in a few seconds.
Lin Lu didn't have Jin Bao's ability. He tightened the package, stepped on the stalagmites, and climbed up carefully. The stalagmites were very slippery, and it took Lin Lu a lot of effort to climb up.
In this way, we climbed one slope after another, and after climbing almost a dozen slopes, we finally reached a relatively flat place.
"Jinbao, can you take a rest first?" Lin Lu greeted Jinbao breathlessly, took out the candle from the package and lit it, and took a smoked chicken and handed it to Jinbao.
Jinbao, a foodie, took the smoked chicken and started to chew it, even the chicken bones. Lin Lu gently stroked Jinbao's back and said, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!"
After resting for a while, Lin Lu took out the kettle from the package, took a pot of water from the spring at the source of the creek, took out the dry food, drank the spring water, and ate the dry food.
This spring water is clear, mellow and a little sweet~
"Jinbao, where should we go next? I think we should have climbed to the top of this rocky slope." Lin Lu asked after Jinbao finished eating the smoked chicken.
Jinbao is a foodie, and if he doesn't wait until he finishes eating, it will be in vain to ask.
Jinbao licked his tongue, pointed to the earth wall behind him, and then showed his paws.
Lin Lu understood the idea, took out his small pickaxe, and joined Jinbao's excavation team.
Jinbao's digging of stone walls was like cutting tofu, let alone these earthen walls. With Lin Lu helping on the side, he quickly dug a small hole.
Lin Lu followed Jinbao and slowly climbed through the potholes.
After exiting the small hole, Lin Lu straightened up, held up a candle, and looked around. Under the candlelight, the mine reflected dazzling light. The gold ore here was greater than that of the mine behind the boulder narrow passage.
Many more nuggets, weighing dozens of kilograms, were randomly discarded beside the mine tunnel like broken stones.
"It's really hard to figure out what these ancient miners were looking for when they worked so hard to dig such deep mines without digging for gold!" Lin Lu couldn't help but wonder.
A gust of cold wind blew from the opposite side of the mine. Jinbao jumped into Linlu's satchel, pointed to the front with his paw, and then hid in the package and could not come out.
"Jinbao, you're a foodie. With your fur so thick, are you afraid of the cold? You can hide in your bag, but don't eat all the smoked chicken in one go. Otherwise, you'll be hungry later!" Lin Lu
He warned in an angry and funny tone.
Then, Lin Lu followed the direction pointed by Jinbao and moved forward very carefully, not daring to make a sound for fear of causing the mine to collapse again. There were many branches in the mine, and every time he reached a fork in the road, Lin Lu had to tap several times.
After unloading the package, Jinbao reluctantly stretched out his hand to point the way.
Fortunately, although there was some cold wind blowing along this way, we did not encounter any landslides or road blockages.
After turning a corner, the mine tunnel became a lot brighter. Lin Lu looked closely and saw that there seemed to be some luminous things growing around this section of the mine tunnel. After Lin Lu approached carefully, he could see clearly that they were some transparent crystals that would emit light.
cluster.
Lin Lu blew out the candle, broke off a few crystal clusters that glowed milky white and stuffed them into the package, broke off another crystal cluster and held it in his hand, and then continued to move forward.
After passing through the twists and turns of the luminous mine tunnel, both sides of the mine tunnel gradually became dark again.
Lin Lu held up the luminous crystal cluster and continued to move forward,
Not long after, we arrived at another three-way intersection.
Lin Lu patted the package gently, but Jinbao didn't react at all. Lin Lu patted it a few more times, but Jinbao still didn't react at all.
Lin Lu had no choice but to open the package to see what the foodie was doing.
What a strong smell of alcohol,
Lin Lu picked up the wine bottle in the package and shook it, but there was no sound.
This Jin Bao secretly drank a whole bottle of soju and is now fast asleep!
If Jin Bao had given him the directions while drunk just now, there was a high probability that he would have gotten lost in this mine.
Although the forest road has piled a few stones as markers at the forks, if we retreat now, where can we retreat to?
It was also my fault that I was too focused on the situation in the mine tunnel. In addition, the cold wind in the mine tunnel blew away the smell of alcohol in the package. Otherwise, I should have been able to stop Jinbao from stealing alcohol in time.
Seeing Fat Jinbao sleeping and snoring in the package, Lin Lu couldn't laugh or cry. This life-saving rat was too unreliable... This chapter has been completed!
