Chapter 145 The little girl who digs gold

The cave was very deep, and I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, but the footsteps came from inside. After a while, a person came out, a little girl, with clear eyes, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with messy hair.

On the top, there is a trace of mud on one side of the face

"Is it just you?" I asked

She looked at me timidly, "We still have many people in the cave. Who are you?"

"Who am I?" How should I answer this? "I saw the letter sent by the wild geese, and I came to save you."

"What wild goose?" She didn't understand, but she didn't hesitate any longer. She immediately ran over and hugged me tightly, her body trembling.

"Why are you here?"

"It's not us, I'm the only one here." She lay in my arms and started to cry.

I comforted her and it took a while before she calmed down. She told me that there were many of them, coming together from Xianyang.

"Then how did you get here?"

"I, I don't know." Maybe a girl of her age only remembers Xianyang. Let's not talk about anything else. I asked her:

"Why did you just say you were alone? There were many people in the cave, weren't you?"

"I was afraid, so I said it to be brave."

"If you were scared, why did you run out as soon as I screamed?" I really don't understand.

"Because I can understand what you say." I feel relieved that after all, we are so far away and speaking the same language. This is a reason for trust. This must also be the case for me.

She touched the sword in my hand, and when she looked at me again, the fear in her eyes seemed to have disappeared. In the dark place, the sword gave off a soul-stirring light, cold and cold. This magic weapon cuts iron like clay,

It felt safe at all times and she said, "Shall we go up now?"

"What do you want?" I looked at her

"Actually, I'm quite scared here alone. It's better if I have you, because there are two people here."

Her contradictory words made me even more confused. One moment she said there were many people, the next she said she was one, and the next she said there were two more. I looked at her puzzled. At this time, she took my hand and pulled it.

As I walked deeper into the cave, I took a torch from the cave wall to illuminate it.

This is a natural underground fissure. The further you go in, the cooler it gets, and the space inside the cave becomes smaller and smaller. I don’t know where she wants to take me. We walked zigzag for a while.

Hear her whisper, "They are here!"

Where is it? I moved it over and saw a scene. I couldn’t help but stand in awe of the two people on the ground.

These are two more dead people, a man and a woman. They were undoubtedly from the Qin Dynasty. They were about thirty years old when they died. Because the ground was cold and dry, their faces had not changed much, and they were not rotten. "They are you."

Who?" I asked

"I don't know them," she said. "I just discovered it today. I've only been to the back of the cave here before. It's so dark inside that I've always been afraid to come in."

I took a closer look at the two people sitting and hugging each other. The man had a white face, three strands of black beard, and his eyes were closed. At first glance, he looked like a man who had not suffered much, because the clothes he wore were probably those of the Qin Dynasty.

Official service

In his arms, there was a woman, her head resting on his lap. Although she was in a difficult situation, she still looked peaceful. Her clothes were open on her chest, and one of her nipples was still exposed. It was lifelike, but

I don't have any evil thoughts

In her arms, there should be an open swaddle, an embroidered blue-black quilt, and a layer of light pink lining inside. The cloth has become stiff due to time.

However, there was nothing inside the swaddling clothes. It could be seen that at the last moment, the family of three was close to each other, and the woman was breastfeeding the baby. But now, the baby is gone.

Beside them, there is a brown backpack, made of pure cowhide, I know

I took the bag and opened it. Inside was a roll of yellow silk, and on it was a small seal script that gave me a headache. To be honest, I didn’t recognize any of them. A red seal was stamped on it, and it was already dim.

"What's written on it?" the little girl asked me, she also looked curious.

"Uh, uh, here it says, you, you are their child."

"You're lying. I have parents. Are they outside?"

"People who transport gold outside?" I asked. If she is sure, then she is an orphan.

"No, those people are all my father's men."

"They are all dead, let's go" I whispered, then slung the bag across my body and took her hand

She didn't speak. When I said "They are all dead", she didn't speak either. She just held my hand tightly.

As we walked back, I asked her, "Since your father has subordinates, why did he let you come down?"

"No one else can get in except me." Also, "Your father is so evil that he would give up his own daughter for gold," I said.

"No, my father said that the gold should be transported back to Xianyang and given to the First Emperor. He was sent by the Emperor."

They were sent by the emperor again. Are they, including the two people on the ground, sent by the First Emperor? Their status seems to be the same as that of Xu Fu, but they are not as lucky as Xu Fu.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at the entrance of the cave. The torch in our hands was almost finished. We looked up and couldn't see a trace of light from above. From here to the ground, which is only about ten feet, we should be able to see light, but,

It's dark there now

The stone we removed was placed on top again. The two generals were joking with me again. I thought so and started to put the fire into the hands of the little girl.

The hole was not wide, so I kicked the two walls of the hole with my feet and climbed up bit by bit. After a while, I touched the stone with my hands.

I pushed it up, but it didn't move. We were going to be trapped inside. The little girl asked anxiously from below, "Brother, how are you doing?"

I didn't answer her, and felt anxious in my heart, "General Ji, General Ji!" I didn't hear an echo. It seemed that they had encountered some kind of situation. They were not here at all. It might have been a stone blocking my shout. However, my intuition told me that they were not here at all.

Me, they're not here, if they were, they wouldn't do this

I pushed the rock upwards hard, but it was all in vain. I said to the little girl below, "Our final fate may be like those two people." I was referring to the cave.

"Stop joking, think of a solution quickly!" she said below.

But my body was too weak to exert any strength. Finally, I took out my sword and dug hard at the place where the stone connected with the entrance of the cave. The sword was not a hoe, but now I used it as a hoe. The tip of the sword gnawed on the hole.

There was a harsh sound on the hard rock, which really made me feel a little distressed.

After chewing for a long time, only some scraps fell out. I was exhausted. Where did these two generals go? Did they push the gold and abandon me?

It's impossible. Even if General Meng likes gold that much, I don't believe he would do this. If he really did, I wouldn't have five wives to tear him apart!

While I was wondering, a glimmer of light came in. I said, it must be a joke.

The boulder rose up little by little. I squinted my eyes and used the strength of the people above me to push the boulder to the side.

A beautiful face! She is nose to nose with me. If I want, I can kiss her with just a pout.

But my subconscious made me shout, "Wolf is coming! Wolf is coming!"
