Chapter 25 Rescue
In the dark corner of the cave, three shivering children huddled together, watching the horrific scene through the glowing moss.

With a suppressed cry, the younger child said in a breathy voice: "Are we going to die here? Will they find us?"

The three children were full of regret at this time, but it was too late to regret now, the lighting equipment in their hands had been declared exhausted, they could not see the way back in the dark, and there were still small bugs outside.

"Brother, what should I do if I'm so cold? Will I die of cold here?"

"No, hold on, Dad and they will definitely come to us."

The two older children sandwiched him between them and hugged him to comfort him.

The younger child kept biting his lip and crying, not daring to amplify his voice.Just at this point, the whining sound kept echoing in the dark cave, and matched with the surrounding environment, it brought a kind of psychological fear to people.

"When I came down, I made a mark at the intersection of the branch road. They will be able to see it when they come to us. Let's hold on."

I don't know whether to comfort myself or my younger brother, the talking child's teeth are shaking and clicking.

Just when his consciousness had begun to trance, he finally heard faint footsteps and faint shouts.

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm here!"

The two younger brothers had already lost consciousness from the cold, and Xiao Jiu couldn't bear it anymore.But he hasn't forgotten to hold his two younger brothers tightly.

Hearing the sound at this moment, he distinguished that it was like his father calling his name, regardless of whether it would disturb the insects or not, Xiao Jiu raised his voice, calling for help with the last of his strength.

On the other side of this small cave, in the spacious stone cave, a group of people were using searchlights to search every nook and corner carefully, when they suddenly heard a faint cry for help, the leading man made a gesture, everyone stopped talking, After concentrating on the distinction, the man suddenly raised his head.

"It's Xiao Jiu, it's Xiao Jiu calling me!"

The man walked in that direction excitedly, calling as he walked, "Is that you, Xiao Jiu? Where are you? Talk quickly, Dad is here to find you."

About half a minute later, the faint cry came again, this time everyone heard it, it was Xiao Jiu calling Dad.

The members of the survey team were quite accustomed to this environment and knew how to rescue them effectively. They quickly determined the direction, led people around a hidden stone pillar, and came to a small area about five or six square meters. in the cave.

When the searchlight shone, everyone gasped.

The small cave is divided into two places. The slightly higher one is a stone nest. In the nest are three children who are almost unable to hold on. On the other side, there is a person lying against the stone wall, with half of his body already No more, exposing bloody muscles and white bones.

Xiaojiu's father hurried up, took off his coat and put it on the child's head, and the others followed suit. The three men picked up the child one by one, and the rest surrounded the corpse, trying to distinguish identify this person.

The surveyors who helped carry the child to the villagers' backs inadvertently lowered their heads and found that there was still a small amount of pink liquid in the stone nest.

He suddenly remembered that when he came in, Elder Hei said that they should look for colored stalactites.Now I saw it. Although he didn't know whether it was because of the blood or something that made the stalactites colored, he still carefully filled a bottle full of liquid with the collection bottle.

After Xiaojiu's father and the villagers left with the three children, the remaining three bravely put on their gloves and prepared to dig through the corpse.

Before their hands could touch the corpse, the surveyor handling the collection bottle stopped them.

"Don't get too close. Use trekking poles to turn over the corpse a little bit. The part that was eaten should be made of insects or small rodents. I don't know if it is hidden under the remaining half of the corpse. You guys have to be careful"

After hearing what he said, the three of them took two steps back in unison, took out two trekking poles and gently moved the corpse leaning against the corner of the wall, and sure enough, a dozen black ones with dark and bright colors burst out from behind the corpse. Beetle with pincers.

Two of the chelicerae also contained a piece of unswallowed muscle tissue in their pincers.

These survey team members did not have the corresponding equipment, and did not dare to fiddle with these unknown beetles with bare hands. They could barely take two photos, and then cautiously exited the small cave.

After returning to the ground, they developed the photos, including the two with the corpse and the beetle, developed two more sets, and handed them over to the police and colleagues from the Institute of Biology.

Judging from the clothing and characteristics on the corpse, it is determined that this corpse is the missing mother Qin Bao. As for how she died in this stone room, everyone is not very clear. The most reliable guess is that she did not fall before. It was just because there were so many people outside and there was no way to escape, so I went to a deeper cave and wanted to hide for a while, but I encountered these terrible insects and lost my life in vain.

Although it has been determined with a high probability that it is Qin Bao's mother, the village chief still hopes that the police comrades can go in and bring out the corpse, at least let Qin Bao take another look.

When going into the cave for the second time to contain Qin Bao’s mother’s body, the surveyors in full armor not only carried her body out, but also picked up two dead beetle bodies near the body, packed them in collection bags, and brought them out. underground cave.

Surprisingly, except for the stalactites in the cave, which were suspected to be the red stalactites they were looking for, all other liquids they saw were transparent in color, with a little milky yellow or milky white at most.

Only one other discovery made them realize that the cave might hold other secrets.

Just near the cave where the body was found, there is another cave that is slightly larger, with traces of artificial excavation and several huge iron boxes.

The inside of the box was already empty. As for what was stored in the past, it is unknown now, but beside the empty box, they also found some dry food, which had not existed for more than three months.

Reminiscent of Qin Bao's mother's familiarity with the cave, it is very likely that the cave where the iron box is stored has a great relationship with Qin Bao's mother's natal family.

Naturally, the police would follow up on what happened in the cave. At this time, all the people in Qinjiagou focused on a few bear children. The stalactites brought out were not poisonous and the bacteria did not exceed the standard, but There are unclear ingredients in it.

Old man Qin disregarded all opinions, and treated the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and used a cotton swab to smear part of the stalactite on the place where his grandson was bitten.Two hours later, the wound that had started to ooze yellow water slowly healed the scab.I reapplied it the next day and the redness started to lessen.Combined with the bath water boiled from herbs, the four children were detoxified in a medicated bath. After a week, all the symptoms on the children's feet disappeared except for the shallow scars left by insect bites.
