Chapter 11 Exit
In order to ensure safety and observe the situation inside the cave to the greatest extent, Mo Yunxuan and Pei Shang divided the three-person guard into two groups for defense and lighting, and finally formed three circles.
The outermost circle is attack and defense, the middle circle is lighting, which exposes the things in the cave to the searchlights from different angles, and the innermost circle is Mo Yunxuan, Cheng Xiuyuan, Pei Shang and Ji Houchen. .
In addition, some people were sent to lead the horses.
These horses were already a little frightened after being attacked by the giant bats just now.
"Hold the gun in your hand and be careful." Mo Yunxuan couldn't help reminding Cheng Xiuyuan when he looked at Cheng Xiuyuan's soft and weak appearance.
Cheng Xiuyuan didn't react for a while, and blurted out: "But I don't know how to use a gun!"
As soon as he said this, he regretted it. He had the impression that the owner of this body could use a gun.
"Then you should stand behind me properly, don't be too far away." Mo Yunxuan almost gritted his teeth when he spoke.
Cheng Xiuyuan shut his mouth obediently, fearing that if he spoke, he would offend the young master again.
After walking for a while, he still couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what time is it?"
After staying in the cave for such a long time, he was a little hungry. In addition, he vomited everything in his stomach when he got off the horse just now, and now he was even more hungry.
Mo Yunxuan frowned slightly, but still checked the time on his watch.
"It's almost twelve o'clock."
Cheng Xiuyuan ignored the other party's indifference, and asked again: "It's already twelve o'clock, Your Highness, are you hungry?"
In fact, he himself was hungry, but how could he, a housekeeper, have the right to make all the people stop to eat together!
"Are you hungry?" Mo Yunxuan looked back at Cheng Xiuyuan, and he saw through his little thoughts at a glance.
Cheng Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly: "I'm fine, how about you?"
Mo Yunxuan was about to say that he could stop the team to rest and replenish his energy by the way, but was preempted by Pei Shang.
"Let's go for another half an hour and rest. You can eat something then." Pei Shang was half a head taller than Cheng Xiu Yuan, and when he looked back at him, his eyes were downcast, bright and gentle.
"Okay." Cheng Xiuyuan smiled politely, not noticing that Mo Yunxuan's face became a little gloomy.
Fear because of the unknown.Along the way, everyone's vigilance is very high, not only to pay attention to the safety ahead, but also to be prepared for unexpected accidents in the small black hole on the cave wall. After all, they have experienced a battle between humans and bats, and they really don't want to encounter anything more than a giant bat. Also something scary.
The passage of the cave began to narrow gradually, but the height continued to increase.
"Your Highness." Cheng Xiuyuan whispered.
"Say."
"The strap of your cloak is loose." Cheng Xiuyuan stopped, grabbed Mo Yunxuan, and carefully helped him fasten the strap again.
"Your Highness is really lucky! When you travel far away, you will bring your personal butler to take care of you at any time." Ji Houchen said in a strange way, "It's not like me, when I travel alone, I have to do everything by myself."
Mo Yunxuan snorted coldly: "I think it's time for you to go on your way."
Ji Houchen covered her mouth and laughed lightly: "Just say something, and you even got yourself involved."
Pei Shang just watched with cold eyes and didn't interrupt.
After walking a little further, two forks appeared.From the outside, there is no difference between the two passages, but everyone knows that if you choose the wrong one, you may miss the exit.
"Tell me, which way to go." Ji Houchen is a genius in making money, but he still needs to ask the opinions of two other people in the face of these.
"What do you think?" Mo Yunxuan looked at Pei Shang.
"The two roads look similar, so it's hard to judge from the outside." Pei Shang frowned and walked to the entrance of the cave, and used a searchlight to illuminate the inside, but he still couldn't see the end, "I'm afraid there will be holes in the cave, which will never end."
"If it doesn't work, send someone in to have a look, and we'll wait here." Ji Houchen expressed his opinion.
"Wait? Who knows how long it will take." Mo Yunxuan denied his idea.
"After walking for a long time, I didn't meet any members of the Shengxi tribe, but I saw two caves. It's really hard to choose!" Ji Houchen walked all the way, his eyes searched around in the cave, but except for the yellow cloth strip and the five stone piles Then there is no discovery, and it is inevitable that I will feel a little depressed.
While the three of them were still discussing the countermeasures, Cheng Xiuyuan had already walked into the cave, lying on the cave wall, with his right ear tightly attached to it, and at the same time blocked the other ear.
"I seem to hear the sound of water."
All three of them looked at Cheng Xiuyuan at the same time.
"The sound of water?"
"It should be. The arguing just now was too loud, and I couldn't hear it very clearly."
Everyone stopped talking so that Cheng Xiuyuan could listen quietly for once.
"There is indeed the sound of water, but it's very subtle." Cheng Xiuyuan said with certainty, "You can also come and listen."
Then Ji Houchen sent his subordinates over to listen, and got the same answer.
"Now we can listen to the other channel for similar water sounds." Cheng Xiuyuan said.
Pei Shang asked his soldiers to do what Cheng Xiuyuan said, but the soldiers changed several places but they didn't hear anything.
"Then we can choose this passage with the sound of water. Maybe there is an underground river ahead, and we can find the exit along the river." Cheng Xiuyuan smiled and looked at Mo Yunxuan, asking for his opinion.
Mo Yunxuan looked at his extremely intelligent housekeeper with a complicated expression: "There is indeed a river behind the mountain on the map."
"Then let's do what he said!" Pei Shang walked into the cave first.
"It's really thanks to you, otherwise we don't know how long we'll have to linger in this cave." Ji Houchen said when passing by Cheng Xiuyuan, the same smile was so hypocritical in Cheng Xiuyuan's eyes.
He politely nodded slightly at Ji Houchen: "Ji Shao is too much for the prize."
In the end, everyone walked into the cave on the left according to what Cheng Xiuyuan said.
After walking for almost half an hour, the sound of water in the cave gradually became louder, and I could hear it without putting my ears on the wall.
At this time, Cheng Xiuyuan was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
"If you're really hungry, go and get some dry food!" Mo Yunxuan saw Cheng Xiuyuan touch his stomach secretly a few times, and knew that he was really hungry.
"Does Your Highness need anything?" Cheng Xiuyuan blinked.
"I don't need it." Mo Yunxuan directly rejected him.
Cheng Xiuyuan said "Ah" and stopped talking, the master didn't eat, so how could he eat alone!It seems that I can only bear it a little longer.
Then they turned another corner.
"Look! There is a light ahead!" A soldier shouted excitedly.
Only after experiencing darkness can we understand the value of light even more.
"Your Highness, we are finally out." Cheng Xiuyuan was also very happy, but when he was happy, he felt complicated when he thought that they would go to the place where the stone pile icon was.
He didn't know what Mo Yunxuan was planning in his heart, but he could only be sure that he would not be so kind as to hand over the Shengxi people.
"Finally came out of this ghostly place." Ji Houchen straightened his collar, and glanced at Mo Yunxuan inadvertently, but Mo Yunxuan's expression was as usual, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
The team stepped up their pace and walked towards the light.
When walking outside, Mo Yunxuan meaningfully looked back several times.
The ground under his feet became more and more muddy, and the sound of the water echoed in the cave, and the ground of the cave gradually showed a downward slope, but the slope was not high, at most ten degrees.
"It seems that the river outside is quite big." Cheng Xiuyuan looked at the boots covered with wet soil and said, "Maybe the front hole has been flooded a little."
Ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, as Cheng Xiuyuan said, the entrance of the cave was somewhat flooded, and the river outside formed a "T" shape with the passage of the cave. Scouring the inner wall of the cave.
Fortunately, the water level in the cave was not high.
Looking out from the cave, it was no longer raining outside, but the mist was still lingering.
Pei Shang went straight and stepped on the water, the river was only halfway up to his military boots, he walked to the entrance of the cave and found a stone pillar protruding from the water in the river, so he could step on the stone pillar to cross the river.
When Mo Yunxuan and Ji Houchen approached, he pointed it out to them.
"The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade. I don't know who will help us prepare everything for crossing the river first." Ji Houchen said to Mo Yunxuan, but saw him look like I already knew , doubts arose in my heart.
"That's right! Maybe it's a member of the Shengxi tribe!" Mo Yunxuan's expression was very deliberate, and Pei Shang could see through it as well.
"People cross the river first, and then let the horses cross. Make sure all the horses cross the river safely!" Pei Shang raised his voice.
The water of this river is relatively fast, but the river surface is not wide, no more than 15 meters at most, and on the opposite side of the river is a large grassland, where you can take a rest in the open space.
So, everyone crossed the river one after another. Only the horses took a long time to cross the river, which made the soldiers spend a lot of effort.
Finally, as Cheng Xiuyuan wished, he could have a good rest and have a meal.
The guards who had been ordered to rest were like wild horses that had run loose. One by one, they either fell to the ground to rest, or rushed into the river to catch fish. Even the horses began to eat.
"Brothers, look, there are so many fish in this river!"
"I am coming!"
With a sharp blow, the person got into the water, and the water splashed all over the place.
This was the first time I heard laughter since entering the Lost Path Forest.
In the end, friends and companions were invited, and more than half of the people went to fish in the river. The rest of the people rested for a while and started to build the boiler for cooking. They took the open / mountain / knife and went under the tree. They are heavier, so they have to choose thicker branches. Some people can't find them under the tree, so they simply climb up the tree.
