Luo Feng arranged everything and wanted to lead the militia back to the village in Hexi. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate. After he left, what if someone occupied the village in Hedong? After thinking about it, Luo Feng wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Hexi Village.
Baili Guang waited for a long time outside Shankouzi, but no one came out. He grabbed five more people and said, "You guys, go in and see what's going on. You must come out within ten minutes."
No one can be seen coming out, so no one dares to go in. Being pulled over by Baili Guangqiang, the five people had no choice but to go in timidly.
Bailiguang waited anxiously outside. Within ten minutes, those people came out of the mountain pass. One of them said breathlessly: "Village chief, let's go in. It's too dark inside and we can't see anything. Use I walked for a few minutes with the torch shining on the rock wall and then came back."
"Is there nothing?" Bailiguang asked again.
"No." Several people shook their heads.
If he didn't go in, he wouldn't know what was going on inside. Bailiguang was worried that the people in front would take money and materials and leave through other exits. He made up his mind and said, "Everyone, bring your torches. We will go in and move out the money, materials, weapons and other resources. Everyone." It’s all been sent.”
Everyone was scared, and some were still trembling. Seeing Bailiguang and so many people, and hearing Bailiguang saying that he wanted to share resources, he forcibly emboldened himself, and followed Bailiguang one after another. We walked slowly towards the mountain pass under the guidance of our guide.
The mountain pass is very wide in front, and becomes narrower as you go inward, gradually turning into a long and narrow passage for three people to walk parallel.
In the dark passage, as the flames burned, the rock walls on both sides flickered and appeared, and the lines on the rocks dimmed and brightened. It was extremely scary in the silent passage. The people's footsteps were very small and their breathing was rapid.
After walking for a long time, the passage was still the same. Baili Guang looked around with a hint of fear in his heart. His face was solemn and he held the big knife in his hand tightly.
With a "click", everyone was startled, and Baili Guang turned around sharply.
"Village chief, I stepped on a branch." A militiaman said.
Everyone let go of their worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
Branches? Apart from the rocks and rocks along the way, where were the branches? Baili Guang didn't have time to think about it carefully when a piercing cold wind blew through everyone.
"Village chief, why is there such a cold wind in the passage?"
Bailiguang looked around by the light of the fire and found nothing unusual except for the cracks in the rocks being thicker. "It's okay, everyone, keep walking. The wind may be blowing from the cracks in the rocks."
"Village Chief, the passage goes all the way in. We have been walking for a long time. It should be deep in the mountain. No matter how big the crack is, it will not lead to the outside. How can there be wind?"
"Don't worry about asking, how do I know so much? Let's talk about it after we leave." Bailiguang only thought about the weapons and money in the Cave of Forgotten, and didn't care about anything else.
After only walking a few steps, I heard a "click-click" sound like a mechanical rotation.
Everyone stopped.
"Village chief, there is a voice."
Everyone immediately used torches to shine along the rock wall. The cracks in the rock slowly expanded to both sides, gradually revealing the white highlights in the cracks.
"Village chief, what are those things? As soon as the voice fell, a "swish, swish" sound came from the cracks in the rock. Suddenly, hundreds of arrows flew out and passed through the crowd, bringing up a bloody mist. People fell to the ground amid screams.
Some injured people were still lying on the ground screaming, and the sound of rushing water came from the distance. The sound got closer and closer, and in a moment they were right in front of Baili Guang and others.
"It's water flow. Everyone, grab the side rock wall." Bailiguang shouted, inserted the knife into his belt, jumped up, grabbed the slightly protruding rock on the left, and supported another rock with his feet.
The torrent surged out of the channel like a flood, covering most of the channel, and quickly drowned the panicking and screaming crowd.
Baili Guang was half in the water, holding on to the slightly raised rocks with both hands, letting the water flow over him.
For a moment, the water flowed into a two-meter-wide opening from the ground, carrying the knocked down people.
When the water dries up, the mouth closes again.
Baili Guang jumped down from the rock wall. The surrounding area was pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers. "Is there anyone else?" Baili Guang shouted softly.
no respond.
There was no torch anymore, Baili Guang touched the wall and slowly walked towards the exit.
Ran Santong received Luo Feng's letter and saw that Luo Feng had captured Hedong. He was overjoyed and said, "Hahaha, good. Now the danger in our Hexi village has finally been eliminated."
As soon as the voice fell, a militiaman ran over and shouted in a panic: "Village chief, it's bad, someone is looting our village."
"What?" Ran Santong was shocked and put down the letter in his hand, "How is it possible? Hedong is already ours, how could anyone rob us?"
"I don't know, but this time it's not coming from the east, it's coming from the north."
"North? The villages in the north are far away from us, and they have always had good relations with each other. How is it possible?" Ran Santong couldn't believe it. "Quick, go call Ran Jie and Zhang Xuli."
In the private room of Hexi Restaurant, Zhang Xuli was drinking heavily again, "It's so good, brother Ran Jie, it's so good, hahaha." He was drunk.
Ran Jie on the opposite side looked at Zhang Xuli quietly without drinking a sip of wine. For several days in a row, Ran Jie knew that it was impossible to drink Zhang Xuli down. Even if he was drunk, Zhang Xuli would not forget to ask when he would give the gold bars. The drinking these days was considered Drink in vain.
"Why don't you drink? Come on, it would be fun to drink together." Zhang Xuli took a few bites of meat, then picked up a bowl of wine and drank it.
Seeing Zhang Xuli drinking, Ran Jie's eyes moved, and a smile that was hard to detect appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xuli, I heard that there is a cave of forgetfulness not far away. Do you dare to go?"
"Don't tell me anything else, I'm not interested." Zhang Xuli ate another piece of meat.
"There are a lot of resources there, and they can't be used up. I heard there are even ancient magic weapons." Ran Jie said softly and mysteriously.
When he heard that there was endless money, Zhang Xuli was moved in his heart. There was no expression on his face. He pretended to be calm and looked indifferent: "Not interested. Anyway, you must give me the two gold bars."
Seeing that Zhang Xuli was unmoved, Ran Jie became anxious and said, "I don't care. Anyway, I told you such valuable news, so it should be offset."
"Then why don't you go?" Zhang Xuli asked.
"I only know the general direction, not the specific location. Besides, do I still need money?"
"That makes sense," Zhang Xuli thought to himself, "After all, after so many messes and such good news, Luo Feng should be satisfied and won't pursue the gold bar matter anymore, so he might as well just mess around a few more times. ”
"Well, the news alone is not enough, at least three days of drinking are needed."
Hearing that Zhang Xuli finally changed his mind, Ran Jie breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay," he thought to himself, "It's best to die there, so as not to harm me again."
"Bang" the door was pushed open, "Sir, deputy battalion commander, someone is looting our village."
