Chapter 15 The World in the Cave

The lights of the two flashlights gathered in one place, but the stone wall was empty, and there was nothing there.

"Brother, did you read it wrong?" The young man from the Qin family who was walking behind scratched his head, put his feet on his feet and took a look, "Why don't you go over and have a look?"

After approaching there cautiously, they found scratch marks on the stone wall.

"Brother, tell me, is there something in it, what is there?"

Qin Si glared at his cousin, annoyed: "What can there be? In the world of science, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, do you know?"

Listening to the two of them talking, the other brothers burst out laughing, and the heavy atmosphere was swept away.

The more you go down, the more you can feel the heavy water vapor. After walking for a while, the cold under your feet can penetrate the soles of your feet, and it seems that you can still hear the dull sound of water flowing.

"Sure enough, the water from the mountain stream has flowed into the underground river. Be careful, this place is full of moss, and the road is slippery."

As they walked, they turned on their flashlights.At this time, the space they were in was already very large, and they couldn't see the dome in the dark, nor could they see the surrounding situation clearly, but as far as the flashlight glanced, there were all jagged and strange rocks, which gave a faint and terrifying feeling.

The youngest brother unconsciously grasped the arm of the cousin in front of him, and his teeth were crackling.

"Brother, brothers, this place is so scary, can Mother Qin really come here?"

"It's unlikely. I think we might have missed her. It's not clear here. If you don't know the composition of the underground road, if there is a fork in the middle, you will definitely not be able to find it."

"Then shall we go down?"

Qin Si, the leader, hesitated for a while, and asked the two brothers to go up to report the situation to the village head and branch secretary, and the other two brothers walked down a section with him.

"Let's say goodbye, fourth brother, the situation here is too complicated. If something happens...you can't find it."

Qin Si stopped in his tracks and scanned his surroundings with a flashlight.In the dark space, it seems that even the light cannot penetrate, and the imprint of the light spots in the distance makes the strange rock even more hideous.

"Okay, let's all go back. Report to the town and let them arrange someone to come and find them. They have professional equipment, and they are definitely better than us being so reckless." Qin Si was also decisive, and no longer hesitated after making a decision, "Go back Let's go, this time you pay attention to the situation on both sides to see if there are any sideways that you have overlooked."

A group of people walked for more than 20 meters, and the young cousin at the front suddenly squatted down and carefully identified it: "Brothers, do you think these are footprints?"

Because it was stained on the moss, the footprints were not complete, but because of the weight, the rear heel was a little deeper than the forefoot. Such a small and large mark was spotted by the sharp-eyed young man.

Qin Si often went up the mountain and learned how to identify footprints and so on. He squatted down and looked at it, and compared it with his hands to make sure that it was a footprint or it was left recently.

"Speaking of which, I heard my sister-in-law next door muttering that Qin Qin's mother has been like to run up the mountain during this time, and she goes up the mountain every day. I thought she was confessing to her daughter-in-law before, but now it seems that she is not sure. What are you planning in secret? But, why don't our Qin family know that there is a cave here, but she, who married from a foreigner, knows?"

"Is it possible that Brother Qian's father told her?"

"Then why didn't you tell the villagers?"

Who knows?Qin Bao's father has been dead for so many years, and they can't ask.

Muttering to muttering, the group of people still followed the direction of the footprints and walked carefully for a while. After passing between two strange rocks, they found another path that was obviously dug by hand.

Now even Qin Si felt that something was wrong.

"The two of you go back the same way, make a mark at the fork, and then go out the same way to find the village chief and they will send people down. If there is a problem here, at least we won't be wiped out."

Seeing that the two younger brothers were about to talk, he stared at him: "What's the matter, don't you listen to what brother said?"

The two younger brothers breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with their cheeks pressed together, and stepped back decisively.

After waiting for a few minutes, Qin Si glanced at the two brothers beside him, and said in a low voice, "Be careful, I'll lead the way, and Lao Qi will cut off the tail. Bin'er, you should pay more attention to the situation on both sides."

The two brothers agreed and started to move forward according to Qin Si's arrangement.

"Fourth brother, this stone road seems to be going up."

Qin Si calculated the location in his mind, and if he was not mistaken, it should be the mountain ridge leading to the other side of the mountain stream.

Qin Qi noticed his watch, they had already walked for almost 10 minutes.If it was on the ground, it would have been to the mountain stream by now, but because it is inside the mountain, the road is winding, and those who turn around don't know where to go.

"Stop." Qin Si suddenly gestured, "Did you hear anything?"

The two brothers held their breath and listened carefully, and they heard a little human voice.

"Someone?"

"I just don't know if it's someone from outside, or Qin Qin's mother."

"It doesn't matter so much, let's go and have a look first."

Qin Si grasped the hatchet stuck in his back, called the two brothers to be more vigilant, and then sped up a little to touch the direction where the sound came from.

After getting closer, the voice of speaking became clearer.

"Don't be afraid, little brother, Jiaojiao is with you. My mother and uncle will definitely come to us, and they will be able to rescue you when the time comes."

"It's Jiaojiao?" Qin Siyi was delighted, and he didn't care about anything else, so he raised his voice, "Jiaojiao, is that you? Fourth uncle is here, you talk, fourth uncle is looking for you."

After a small exclamation, a child's voice came from the front right: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I'm here, come here quickly, little brother is dying."

"Why is there a child?" Qin Bin said in surprise, and shot the flashlight in that direction.

"Ah, I'm shaking my eyes." Qin Jiao called out, and at the same time let Qin Si and the others see where she was.

There was a protruding platform over there, and there was a stone wall half a person's height around it. Qin Jiao was lying on the stone wall, only her head was exposed.

"Can you go up there?"

Qin Si didn't make a sound, and took the flashlight from Qin Qi's hand, the two beams of light merged together, and the left and right sides canceled out part of the diffused light, allowing them to see clearly the situation below the platform.

"You can go up, let's go first. You and Bin'er help me watch the road, and I'll go up and see the situation."

"Okay, fourth brother, be careful." Among the brothers, Qin Si was the best, and the other brothers felt ashamed.

Under the illumination of the light, Qin Si slowly climbed up the protruding part of the strange rock.

The platform is not high, about six meters to seven meters.Normally, he could go up with a run-up two or three times, but not here, the road is wet and slippery, the light is not good, and there is moss on the stone, so he can only feel his way up.

Fortunately, even so, it only took him four or five minutes to get up to the stone platform, but when he got up, he almost didn't scream out of fear.
