Chapter 19 Raccoon Dog’s Nest

The nights in summer are getting shorter, and the fields in the countryside are also very noisy at night, with the calls of falcons and frogs and the chirping of various insects. The four of them wore rain boots and sprayed a lot of mosquito repellent on their bodies so they were not afraid of mosquito bites.

"Those twelve fluffy little raccoon dogs following behind are exactly like puppies. They are so cute. If it weren't for animal protection, I would really want to take one back and keep it for fun." Jiang Xiaobao joked.

"This thing smells very bad. It has odor glands, and you can't keep them as listed animals." Song Yijin said.

The four returned to the production team's warehouse to continue exploring, but what puzzled them was that the group of raccoon dogs that went out did not go out from the pried-out brick hole, so where were they? What about the one who ran away?

"They will definitely have their own relatively hidden burrows. Animals are very cunning. Even rabbits have three burrows." Chen Mingzhi said.

Jiang Xiaobao brought the shovel again: "Then let's keep looking. The hole they went out from here must be in the house."

Jiang Xiaobao pried open Song Yijin's door just now. When the hole was pried wider, Chen Mingzhi used his headlight to shine inside to see that it was empty. Song Yijin also walked over and took a look inside. It was indeed empty.

Seeing that there were no new discoveries, Chen Mingzhi picked up the iron bar and started beating it on the ground.

Zhao Xixi went behind the stage and searched carefully. The black dog was also sniffing everywhere.

"Come over and take a look, there is a hole here." Zhao Xixi called everyone over. It turned out that she found a flat hole under the back of the table, which you couldn't find if you weren't paying attention.

Song Yijin approached and used a headlamp to shine light into the hole, and asked Jiang Xiaobao to look at the hole opened with a shovel on the other side. Sure enough, there was light penetrating into the inside of the platform.

"Yes, that is the entry and exit hole of the raccoon dog."

"There are no new discoveries elsewhere. I think it is simply behind the platform, where the raccoon dog made the hole." Just dig a big hole above, one person can go in, and see if there are any new discoveries inside." Song Yijin said.

"It makes sense, because the original site was rebuilt after it was destroyed, so the foundation of the original site is still like this. Maybe there are new clues, and the hole is more hidden behind the platform, so it is not easy. Found."

"We can just put the bricks up at the entrance of the hole."

All four people agreed that this was a good idea. Just do it. Chen Mingzhi took the shovel and started working immediately. He removed about twenty or thirty bricks, and the hole was large enough for one person to enter.

"Awu, come here, go in and have a look." Chen Mingzhi called the black dog over and asked him to go in through the entrance of the cave to have a look. Because he smelled the smell of raccoon dog inside, the black dog was also more excited, and his tail It kept shaking, and as soon as Chen Mingzhi let go, it jumped in.

Here Chen Mingzhi gives it to it at the entrance of the caveAfter lighting it up, the black dog sniffed around inside and worked hard, but found nothing.

Chen Mingzhi put down the shovel in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'll go in and have a look too."

"It's not necessary, there's nothing wrong with the black dog inside." "I found out that all my hard work was in vain," Jiang Xiaobao said.

"Don't be discouraged. It's not over yet. How can you know if there are any new discoveries if you don't go in and try it out?" Chen Mingzhi bent down and got into the hole.

"I'll go in and take a look too." Song Yijin said and bowed and got in.

The inside is only one meter high, and two people can only bend down and move around inside.

Song Yijin and Chen Mingzhi searched the platform, using the knife they brought with them to poke around. The platform was surrounded by bricks, the ground was smooth and smooth, and there was a large recess in the middle. , a bit like the bottom of a big pot, probably because the raccoon dog often digs in the ground, and has a bit of a stinky smell. Song Yijin made a few cuts on the dirt with a knife. Feeling that the sound was wrong, he made a few more deep cuts.

/p>

Chen Mingzhi also scratched with a knife. It really felt like the knife scratching on the stone.

"Either take the shovel in and dig it out."

"We can't dig it out, it's too low inside, so we can only use a knife. We dig out the soil on top with a knife. It’s also relatively rigid and not easy to dig.”

Zhao Xixi squatted at the entrance of the cave and watched the two of them digging inside, reminding them to be careful not to hurt their hands.

You should buy a small garden shovel, a knife is not easy to use.

The two men dug for about half an hour, and the round stone shape came out.

"It is indeed a stone," Chen Mingzhi said.

"This is not just a stone, it is a big stone mill. You see there is a shaft hole on it, which was used to grind soybeans manually when there were no mills in the past. I remember our family also had one before. "It seems to have been embedded in the wall when the house was built," Song Yijin said.

I will go out first and let Zhao Xixi come in and take a look. She is a professional.

Zhao Xixi had actually been watching at the entrance of the cave. When she heard that Shi Mo was energetic, she immediately climbed in to take a look after Chen Mingzhi came out, because it was too crowded for three people inside.

Here Song Yijin saw Zhao Xixi crawling in, and he immediately blushed. He didn't understand why a man in his prime would blush when he saw other girls. Fortunately, there was only the light from the lamp inside, and Zhao Xixi couldn't see his blush.

"Oh my God! What kind of stone mill is this? It's clearly a cover for the entrance of a cave!"

Zhao Xixi had seen similar cave entrances before, so she saw it at a glance came out. If it is really stone millIf so, the lines and grooves on its surface should be regular and directional, but the lines on the stone slab in front of you are messy and clueless, so it definitely cannot be a stone mill. Zhao Xixi analyzed calmly.

"And you see, there is a hole the size of a table tennis ball here. Cousin, put your hand up and feel it. Do you feel any cold air coming out?" Zhao Xixi continued. Song Yijin doubtfully stretched out his palm to cover the hole, and suddenly felt a cold breath coming from the entrance of the hole. His eyes widened in surprise: "It really does exist! I didn't expect there to be a secret hidden in it!"

"Brother, hurry up and get out! Remember to bring the rope in. By the way. "You have to tie a knife to one end of the rope, remember to tie it tightly!" Zhao Xixi explained carefully, then turned around and called Jiang Xiaobao to come in and take a look.

Jiang Xiaobao hurried over and stared at the slate for a long time.

"Well, I think what you said makes sense. Look, there must be a hole below! Generally speaking, this kind of slate will not appear in plain areas. It must have come from other places. It was moved here specially. Moreover, it is not used to lay the ground, nor is it used to grind beans, so its only use is to cover the hole in the ground. Look at the hole in the middle of the stone slab. It is obvious. There is cold air coming out, which is enough to prove that there is really a hole underneath!" Zhao Xixi nodded in agreement while listening to Jiang Xiaobao's analysis.

Zhao Xixi said: "Look at the terrain and surrounding environment here, there is nothing special about it. If it were not for the existence of this stone slab, it would be impossible for us to discover this hidden cave entrance. Therefore, I dare to conclude , this stone slab was set up to cover the entrance of the cave. Maybe there are some secrets or treasures hidden underneath!" Jiang Xiaobao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Wow, let's go down and take a look. Take a look! You might find something interesting! ”

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

Zhao Xixi smiled, patted Jiang Xiaobao on the head and said, "Don't worry, there are treasures that can be easily discovered by you."

"I really didn't expect it! Yours The practical experience is so rich, it can be said that it is not inferior to our tutors! After I graduate, I will just follow you and don’t have to worry about finding a job!”

"Don't do this! After I graduate, I don't want to continue doing this job!"

"Ah? What are you going to do?"

At this moment, Song Yijin, who was standing outside the cave entrance and was responsible for tying the rope, said: "The rope has been tied.What should we do next? ”

“Brother, quickly throw me the end of the rope that holds the knife!” Zhao Xixi shouted hurriedly and stretched out her hand to catch the rope. After taking the rope, she carefully inserted the end with the knife head into the small hole. However, because the hole was too small, the knot got stuck there. , it was difficult to pass smoothly. Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobao stepped hard with his feet several times and finally successfully stuffed the rope into the hole.

Then, the two got out of the hole again. "Okay, cousin, now you three gentlemen will pull the rope together to pull open the cover of this stone slab, and the hole will be exposed. Zhao Xixi commanded. After hearing this, the three of them grabbed the rope and tried to pull outward. Due to the narrow space, the rope outside the cave could only be pulled outward at an angle. Without much effort, the stone slab was easily pulled over. Come here. In fact, Song Yijin's strength alone was enough to pull the stone slab open. When Song Yijin saw that the cover of the stone slab had been opened, he couldn't wait to get into the hole. Just as he was about to take action, Zhao Xixi quickly grabbed him.

"Wait a minute, don't rush in yet! "This sentence stopped Song Yijin and Chen Mingzhi who were about to enter. Zhao Xixi took out a lighter, approached the entrance of the cave, and gently pressed the ignition button. The flame ignited instantly, and she carefully observed the changes in the flame to ensure that it was discharged from the cave. Whether the gas is flammable.

After careful testing and confirming that the discharged gas was safe, Zhao Xixi nodded and said that he could go in. Song Yijin and Chen Mingzhi looked at each other without hesitation. However, compared to Song Yijin's calmness, Chen Mingzhi seemed a little nervous. After all, this was his first experience.

Zhao Xixi squatted outside the platform cave. He shouted with concern: "You must be careful!" Turn on your headlights to illuminate what's going on inside. See how deep the hole is and whether there is water. Be sure to pay attention to safety and don't accidentally fall! "

The two people bowed and slowly approached the hole in the ground on a platform only one meter high. Because they had just used a rope to pull apart the stone slab at the entrance of the hole, some soil had fallen into the hole. The mud on the top and the smooth pot-bottom-shaped ground seemed a bit dangerous. The two people didn't know the situation inside the cave, whether there was water or no water, and how deep the cave was. So they were relatively cautious.

Zhao Xixi reminded them outside the stage: "Throw a brick into the hole to check it out. The soles of your feet will be slippery, so don't get too close to the hole. "

Only then did Song Yijin react. He found half a brick beside him, and after gently throwing it into the hole, he raised his ears and listened nervously to the sounds inside. Soon, in just a second or two, There was a muffled sound from below, and then there was a relatively empty echo. The sound sounded like it was twenty meters deep. There might be soft mud underneath, and no sound of water was heard.

Jiang Xiaobao and Zhao Xixi also slowly got in at this time. The four of them were too crowded in this stage of only a few square meters.

"Is this a cave?"

Song Yijin and Chen Mingzhi lay carefully beside the cave entrance, shining their headlights into the cave. Jiang Xiaobao and Zhao Xixi also leaned over and tried to move towards the cave. Looking inside, a strong musty and sour smell emanates from the cave. < /p>

"No, tunnel warfare will not be sent here."

"Look carefully below, those are the bricks you threw." Jiang Xiaobao moved over a little more, and the four of them Lie down at the entrance of the cave and shine your headlamp directly into it.

"It's not deep, not 20 meters deep, at most seven or eight meters deep. If you look to the side, the bricks seem to have fallen on the soil. The black stuff next to the soil should be water. "

"What kind of hole is this? It can't be a tomb, right?"

"Don't worry, this can't be a tomb."

"Why? Maybe it is the tomb of a wealthy family in ancient times."

"Because no matter which dynasty or period the tomb is, it will follow certain tomb rules and will not be messed up."

"What could that be?"

"It looks like there is a mystery inside. The original site here was a temple, and many temples or temples would dig holes underground to bury something. But it's not like this A hole in the ground, and it’s very deep.”

“What’s the mystery? Are tens of thousands of tons of gold buried here?”

“How is it possible, you don’t even think about it. What a huge amount of gold it is, it’s unlikely to be in such a small cave.”

“Perhaps this is an entrance to tens of thousands of tons of gold?”

“It seems like you said. It makes sense."

"Oh my god, my heart rate is increasing. I can't imagine if there are really tens of thousands of tons of gold down there."

"That's all you have."

"Let's go down and have a look, I can't wait."

"Is it dangerous?"

"We can't go down now, go down to the cave It’s not as simple as we thought. We need to prepare some things, such as climbing ropes, safety hooks, safety belts, descenders, first aid kits, respirators and non-slip rubber shoes.”

“We definitely can’t go down today. These things are not allowed.” You may not be able to buy everything here, and you may have to go to the city. Let's go to the county tomorrow to have a look. Now let's cover the outside holes with stone slabs, especially the two outside bricks. Try to restore it so that it doesn't look like it has been tampered with."

The four people slowly got out of the platform and re-coded the removed bricks one by one, restoring them to their original appearance.son.

They were very excited at this time. They did not expect to find a cave here. This cave must be unusual. Could it be the entrance to the secret of 10,000 tons of gold?

Everyone is looking forward to...
