Yang Zhi was even more happy after hearing this. He lit two torches, handed one to Chen Xiaobei, took the other one himself, and walked into the cave first.
In Chen Xiaobei's memory, he had seen the cave more than once, and the one that impressed him most was that unbearably hot afternoon five years ago.
He originally ran to this cave to enjoy the cool air, but after walking inside for a while, he realized that there was something faintly moving in the depths. He thought he was hiding some treasure, but when he got to the end, he discovered that there was just an underground river. There was something here.
The leakage formed a small clear spring.
He and Yang Zhiyou were chatting and laughing, and as they continued to the bottom, the situation was similar to what he remembered five years ago, with basically no big changes.
"Brother Yang, there will be water in there for them to drink. This way you will have less pressure to guard."
Yang Zhi stepped forward holding a torch. Not far away, he heard the sound of water under his feet. Chen Xiaobei quickly lowered the torch.
At first glance, there are still some changes. When I came here five years ago, it was just a small puddle, with an area of about one square meter, but now it is at least seven or eight square meters.
That is to say, the puddle is constantly expanding.
Yang Zhi waded into the water and continued walking in, ready to check further, when suddenly he turned around and ran back with an ouch.
The sudden movement also startled Chen Xiaobei, and he followed Yang Zhi and ran back a few steps.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong?"
Yang Zhi was shocked, and pointed to the water, "There seems to be something in the water, and I almost got bitten by it."
As I was talking, I saw a few ripples in the water in front of me, which seemed to be something.
Chen Xiaobei was puzzled.
The cave is so deep. It is impossible for aquatic creatures to walk in by themselves, so they can only follow the underground river. But last time I saw it, the underground river only seeped water into it.
But when I thought about it again, the water surface this time was several times larger than when I came in. Maybe there was a bigger gap in the underground river.
At this time, hearing Yang Zhi's cry, Hu Laoqi and the others rushed in hurriedly, "Second Master, what's wrong with Second Master?"
Yang Zhi felt a little embarrassed, "Ah, there was something in the water, it scared me."
Hu Laoqi laughed and took out the saber on his body.
"Second Master, please wait, I'll go into the water and show you."
After saying this, Hu Laoqi rolled up his trouser legs and walked into the water. Chen Xiaobei quickly stopped him, "Don't go there, in case it's something bad."
Hu Laoqi laughed, "Brother Xiaobei, don't worry, I, Hu Laoqi, grew up by the water, and they have always been afraid of me."
While talking, Hu Laoqi had already waded back and forth in the water, and finally he found a clue. In the far corner, the water suddenly showed a few small ripples.
Hu Laoqi moved like a rabbit, and the saber in his hand pierced out like lightning.
"Hit." He couldn't help shouting.
While shouting, he took a step forward and suddenly raised the knife in his hand.
There was a huge shadow stuck on the tip of the knife, at least a foot and a half long.
It's a fish, a big fish.
Hu Laoqi raised the fish in front of the torch and took a look, and everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
"Oh, it turned out to be a black fish, it scared me." Yang Zhi looked a little embarrassed.
"Tonight I can have my teeth beaten again." Hu Laoqi was very proud.
Yang Zhi and the others smiled and thought that the matter was over, but Chen Xiaobei was full of doubts.
This black fish is one and a half feet long. In his memory of his previous life, the black fish grew relatively fast.
A snakehead fish this long may take two or three years to grow.
But there are no plankton in the water, and it is difficult to survive for such a long time and grow so big, so it is most likely that the fish is already very large and accidentally fell in.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei also rolled up his trouser legs, held up the torch and continued walking inside, until he reached the deepest part of the cave.
Sure enough, there was a hole in the stone wall the size of a bowl, and water gurgled in from there.
In other words, the big black fish also came in through here.
This is strange. Why are there fish in the underground river? And they are such big fish.
Chen Xiaobei secretly judged the location and would go to the mountain tomorrow to see if he could find anything.
After walking out of the cave, Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Xiaobei, you chose this place really well."
This is a heartfelt compliment to Chen Xiaobei, please accept the order.
After going home for dinner, Chen Xiaobei took the initiative to wait at the entrance of the village. He knew that Liu Rumei would arrive with someone soon.
First and second, we waited until the second watch. Finally there was movement in front. Someone came in a hurry holding a torch. This was the leader, and it was still Liu Ce.
Liu Ce clasped his fists at Chen Xiaobei and Yang Zhi, "I kept you two waiting for a long time. We encountered a little trouble on the way, which delayed our time."
"Okay, Butler Liu, there's no need to say any kind words. We've already found a place for detention. You can just come." Chen Xiaobei got straight to the point.
Liu Ce smiled and nodded, "Then please wait a moment, my lady will be here soon."
After saying this, Liu Ce put his little finger in his mouth and blew a long whistle.
After a short effort, a few lights lit up at the end of the road in the distance, and a long team came this way.
Looking at these people, Chen Xiaobei felt very complicated at this time.
In fact, he just wanted to live a stable life with Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer, but he didn't expect to be involved in all kinds of things. Now Yang Zhi and Liu Rumei have lived directly in Hetou Village. He doesn't know how important this is for a small mountain village.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Having said that, whether it is a blessing or a curse, in the face of the opponent's powerful force, there is no room for resistance.
Liu Rumei came to Chen Xiaobei with her hands clasped in a very polite manner, "Thank you, Chen Lichang, for taking your time."
From Chen Gongzi to Chen Lizhang, this change of title also shows that his position in Liu Rumei's heart has changed somewhat.
To be fair, after all, Liu Rumei now wants something from Chen Xiaobei, so it is normal for her to be polite in her words.
"Miss Liu, I have arranged your accommodation for you, please come with me."
Chen Xiaobei turned to leave, but Liu Rumei said loudly, "Wait a minute, we'd better imprison the person first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
This made Chen Xiaobei look at Liu Rumei with admiration. The eldest lady actually handled such specific affairs personally.
However, it would be a good thing to familiarize Liu Rumei with the style of their Hetou Village.
Looking at Sun Jian's men, they were all blindfolded and relied on the dragging force of the rope to identify the direction of travel. At the front were the two brothers Liu Ziming and Liu Ziliang, holding on to the rope and leading them away.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei instantly admired Liu Rumei for her good skills.
Don't let these people see the road they have walked clearly, so even if they want to escape, their eyes will be darkened and they will not know where to go.
