Chapter 67 The White-haired Old Thief (7)

The white-haired old thief saw that the three of us were in the water, and we were all startled. The doctor gasped, lowered his voice, and said quickly, "Quick, run." Those little mice fell into the water with us before. In the water, it didn’t bite us. At that time, we thought it was because the mouse was not good at water, so it had no attack power when it fell into the water. But after seeing the tragic situation of the big fish just now, we didn’t understand that it wasn’t that the mouse had no attack power. It was just a trick of the white-haired old thief.

Now we have no use value, who knows if it will let those little mice enter the water and bite us to death like the big fish.

Immediately, the three of us hurriedly turned around and swam to the opposite bank.

The corpse fire on the shore was almost extinguished, and the lighter was put away because it entered the water, and the light became very dim. We don't know what the scene is on the other side.

While we were fleeing for our lives, I looked back and saw the group of rats on the shore surging, and the old white-haired thief was still staring at us, but no rats entered the water.

The moment I turned my head to look at it, the eyes of the white-haired old thief and I happened to collide. I don't know if it was my illusion. At that moment, I actually felt that the mouse seemed to have smiled.

That kind of human-like smile appeared on the face of a mouse, not to mention how weird it was.

At this moment, the corpse fire on the shore was finally extinguished, and the whole cave was plunged into a pitch-dark darkness. The three of us did not dare to stay, and continued to swim forward, and finally touched the shore.

Because we didn't know the situation here, we were not in a hurry to go ashore. The doctor first took out the lighter, flipped off the brass cover of the lighter, and lit the fire.The faint light of the fire illuminated this small area on the shore. This side is not as high as the terrain on the opposite side, so the shore is quite wet. The doctor climbed onto the shore with the lighter in his mouth, and then raised the lighter. The range of exposure has been expanded.

Not far from the shore, there was a pile of rusted iron utensils. The doctor turned it over and found that it was some mining tools.Brother Wei and I climbed ashore, only to feel that the muscles in our bodies were frozen.

Brother Wei listened attentively to the movement in the water, and after a while, he said, "There was no sound of entering the water, those mice should not have caught up." Dried up most of the water and put it back on, just barely feeling better.

At this moment, the doctor was injured on his leg, and I was bitten by rats before, and my face was even more disfigured. Now that I was relieved, the doctor took out the old blood in his arms, and shared some with each other. We each anoint the wound.

The pain-relieving effect of Laoxuejie is very powerful, and it feels better immediately after applying it. At this time, we have the time to look at this place.

Now the only light source is the lighter in hand, and there is a white-haired old thief on the opposite side. If we want to go back, it may not be easy.

Fortunately, the mines are generally connected in all directions, and there are many mine passages. Since there are mining tools here, there may be mine passages that can go out.The three of us rested for a while, and then we planned to find out if there was any other way out.

Originally, the purpose of going down into this mine was to save Crazy Liu, who was pregnant. Who would have thought that this mine would be so dangerous.Now that we are too busy to take care of ourselves, and we have already wasted so much time, I am afraid that there will be bad luck for Crazy Liu, so we have no choice but to give up our plan to save her.

Everyone's ability is limited. We have tried our best, and we are worthy of our conscience. If we want to do more, we don't have the ability anymore.

While we were holding the lighter to observe the surrounding situation, the doctor seemed to have discovered something, suddenly let out a cry, then squatted down, and picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground.

In the mine tunnel we passed before, the ground was very clean, with only some scattered pebbles, but on the ground here, there were many large and small stones scattered in a mess.

These stones look ordinary, and they don't look like coal or limestone, so we thought they were ordinary stones and didn't pay much attention.

At this moment, the doctor suddenly picked up a stone and looked at it over and over in his hand. Brother Wei and I immediately understood that there might be something wrong with these stones, so we went over to look at them immediately.

"What's wrong?" I looked around, but didn't find anything special about the stone in his hand.

The doctor's eyes were very focused. He didn't answer my words, but handed the lighter to me, and squatted down on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, he put the stone on the ground, pressed the stone with one hand, pulled out the folding saber with the other, and began to cut back and forth in a crack on the stone, as if he wanted to cut the stone open.

Could it be that there is something special in the stone?

I couldn't help but observe carefully, and when I saw it, I was suddenly shocked. I found that there were some milky white things in the cracks of the stone. The warm and lustrous texture was actually a bit like some kind of jade.

My heart skipped a beat, and I said, "Isn't it?Is this a jade mine?

As soon as this idea changed, the doctor cut the crack a little bigger with a saber, and the situation inside the stone was more clearly displayed.

Under the orange light of the lighter, the inside of the stone is a milky white, warm and clear stone. The doctor observed it carefully in his hand, then stretched his fingers in and touched it, and finally concluded: "It's jade, this is a jade mine. !"

I took a deep breath, and there were only two words in my mind: Sent!
Brother Wei who was next to him turned pale with shock: "How is this possible?" If Huangquan Village really had a jade mine, how poor would the people in this place be like they are now?Since it is such a rare jade mine, why didn't it continue to be mined, instead, the mine was closed by a strange coincidence?
I thought of those corpses in the mine before.

This jade mine hides too many secrets.

But this secret doesn't have much to do with us. I only have one thought at the moment, and that is to take this opportunity to bring back some rough jade. Maybe ten years of struggle will be saved!

Immediately, I started to collect the rough stones. As soon as people's greed came up, the potential was stimulated. I took off my coat, wrapped the rough stones with it, and collected a bulging bag.

Just as I was thinking about how to bring more, the doctor just picked some small rough stones and put them in his arms.

When he saw that I had made a bulging bag, he immediately showed helplessness, and said, "How can you get out with these dozens of catties on your shoulders? Even if you go out, it is so conspicuous. If you don't enter the village, you will be banned." Someone was arrested."

After finishing speaking, he said with emotion: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants like snakes."

When he said this, I calmed down and thought that I was really poor and crazy, and I almost couldn't hold it right now.

The doctor is right, I can't go out with such a big bag of things, and I will be exposed soon after I go out. Now there is a treasure mountain, but it is hard to get anything.

Immediately, I could only learn from Jin Le and pick out some relatively small rough stones. After the three of them collected them, they began to look for a way out again.
