Hai Rufeng has been searching in the Baguio area for nearly two months, but he still hasn't found a trace of gold.

Although I knew from the beginning that this matter would not be easy, I was also mentally prepared for a long-term search, and brought two supply ships for this purpose.

But as time goes by, everyone is still a little irritable.

Twenty days earlier, the leader of the army of five hundred servants, Karna, had learned from the local natives that someone had picked up a piece of dog's head gold in the mountains.

The so-called dog's head gold is a naturally occurring gold nugget of varying purity.

Hai Rufeng, who got the news, was extremely excited, and gave the native, a lot of benefits, let him take him to the place where the dog's head gold was found, and then began to dig a lot of digging, and as a result, twenty days later, the surrounding mountains and fields were dug all over the potholes, and still no substantial progress was made.

Hai Rufeng picked his teeth with a poplar branch, there is nothing in this vicinity, there are many wild movements, pheasants and wild dogs, wild boars and wild foxes, and he even hunted three tigers yesterday, and he was a little tired of eating.

Lu Tian leaned over and said, "General, could it be that native who deceived us?" Damn, it's all dug up around here, not to mention the gold mines, not even soaking shit. ”

Hai Rufeng said dissatisfiedly: "What are you yelling about? You are also a sentry chief, shouting all day long, what will your brothers think when they hear it? ”

"The general's lesson is that you must pay attention next time, but there is no way to go on like this, we have to stay in this barren mountain for a long time, and let Kana go and find that native to torture him, and see if that guy is lying to us."

"Go ahead."

After Lu Tian went, Hai Rufeng took out the piece of dog's head gold found by the Turks from his bag. The size of two fingers, the weight is about two taels, because it contains a lot of impurities. Not pure golden yellow.

It was this piece of dog's head gold that made Hai Rufeng believe the words of the natives and dug in this area for more than 20 days.

The indigenous was arrested and tortured by Lu Tian, but no matter how he tortured him, the guy still insisted that he had picked it up on this mountain, and he didn't seem to be telling a lie, so Lu Tian couldn't do anything about it.

It was afternoon. A soldier of the Qin army named Tie Nan ran up the mountain and gasped and reported: "General, when we are hunting. A hole was found in the bushes at the bottom of the mountain, the entrance of the hole was narrow, but after two feet inside, it slowly grew larger. A small improvised torch. I only walked less than twenty feet, and found that the cave wall had some shining light."

"What you said is true?" The sea was like a rabbit moving like a rabbit, and suddenly grabbed Tie Nan's collar and asked.

"General, the small one did get to the cave and there was a shining light, but it was a little scary inside, and the little one didn't dare to stay longer when he saw that the torch was extinguished, so he hurried back to report to the general."

Hai Rufeng immediately shouted, "Come on." Prepare torches and be more prepared. ”

He couldn't wait to bring a team of men. There are also three prospecting experts, under the leadership of Tie Nan to kill down the mountain, in addition to the tall trees, there are low and dense shrubs in the mountains, from time to time there are wild birds to fly, and wild boars walk more to form a sheep intestine path.

Everyone came to the small cave that Tie Nan said, the entrance was only three feet square, hidden in the bushes, pushed aside the shrubs, bowed down and could barely get in, after each put on the torch, led by Tie Nan, more than 20 people entered the cave together.

Sure enough, as Tie Nan said, after entering the cave for two zhang, the cave is getting bigger and wider, to about ten zhang, the cave wall has been as high as five or six zhang, and the width is about ten zhang, under the light of more than 20 torches, there is a light in front of it, but the end of the cave is still not visible.

The ground is uneven, and the further you go, the lower it gets, and the front is black, as if it leads to the underworld.

The structure of the cave wall is also very complicated, there are stones and mud and sand, it is very damp, all kinds of stones are strangely shaped, some are like animals, some are like monsters, there is a dead silence inside, only the water droplets dripping from time to time on the cave wall make a tinkling sound.

"Tie Nan, you said that the cave wall is shining, where is it?" Hai Rufeng suddenly spoke, and the hole avoided the echo, and the voice was so loud that it was frightening.

"General, it's still ahead."

Everyone raised the torch as high as possible, vigilantly looked around, and walked forward more than ten zhang, where the wall of the cave suddenly narrowed, under the light of the torch, like a bloody mouth.

Hai Rufeng was just about to inspect the cave wall, when there was a sudden swish between the rocks, and a golden light flew down, Hai Rufeng screamed in fright, and swept it directly with a torch, his body retreated, and he tripped over the stone under his feet, and fell down with a thud.

"General!"

"What's the matter, General?"

The crowd rushed nervously, and Tie Nan shouted, "Snake! "One ring of gold and one ring of black, the golden and black poisonous snakes were swept by the sea like wind with torches to Tie Nan, and Tie Nan was so startled that he hurriedly retreated;

This is commonly known as the krait snake, extremely venomous, once bitten, can not walk five steps will fall to the ground and die, so it is also called the five-step snake.

When the sea rose like the wind, the krait had already disappeared, and he wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. The soldier asked with concern, "General, are you alright?" ”

"I'm fine, everyone be careful, pay attention to your surroundings, and keep moving forward."

Hai Rufeng took the lead, continued to move forward, only walked a few steps, and suddenly heard a strange sound from the bottom of the cave, this strange sound became louder and closer.

"What's that?"

"What's that sound?"

Everyone couldn't help but scream, even the sea was like the wind was panicked, such a cave is usually a place where the legendary ghosts haunt, the sound at the bottom of the cave came so fast, so strange, it couldn't be a person at all, because the ground was uneven, and he had to climb over the stones blocking the way after walking a few steps, and people couldn't have such a fast speed.

Hai Rufeng shouted: "Raise the torches, everyone hide behind the rocks"

As soon as he called this, he saw a large black oppressive thing coming out of the bottom of the cave, with a terrible squeak, in patches, like a black cloud gushing out.

"It's a bat! It's a bat! ”

"Oh my God, that's a lot"

In the midst of everyone's screams, but seeing thousands of bats flying in, almost filling the entire cave space, some were burned down by torches, squeaking, and some flew to the sea like the wind on them, everyone kept slapping, and became a mess.

"Oops!"

"Fucking bite me"

"Ouch!"

In a squeaky wave, the sea was like the wind, they screamed continuously, one by one with torches to sweep hard, there were so many bats flying out, even the firelight was blocked, the surrounding black pressed a piece, and the eyes could not reach far.

After half a cup of tea, the bats flew out completely, and thousands of them were swept off the ground by the sea like the wind with torches, some of them were not dead, and they were squeaking and screaming, which made people feel uncomfortable when they listened to it.

The sea was like the wind panting like a cow, and after lighting a new torch, he stood on a high place of stone and shone around, only to find that, as Tie Nan said, under the reflection of the firelight, there were some small flashes of light on the cave wall.

Hai Rufeng was ecstatic, jumped off the stone, walked to the cave wall to take a closer look, and saw that between the rock wall and the mud and sand, there was indeed some golden fine light reflection.

"Lao Huang, Lao Huang, come and see, is this a gold mine, come and see."

Lao Huang is one of the three prospecting experts, the most experienced, named Huang Da.

He was tossed by the bat swarm just now, and he was busy tidying up his clothes, and when he heard the shouting of Hai Rufeng, he hurriedly walked over with a torch.

"Lao Huang, look at it, aren't you? Is this a gold mine? ”

"General Hai, don't worry, let the old man take a closer look." Huang Da took a hammer and struck it on the rock wall, putting the sand and gravel in his hand and looking at it carefully, "Ah! A scream suddenly erupted, causing the entire cavern to hum.

"Lao Huang, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"General Hai, that's right, it's a gold mine, it's a gold mine, absolutely yes"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Aha, it's not in vain Lao Tzu's two months of eating wind and staying in the gold mine, hahaha, the gold mine, Your Majesty is really a god!"

"Found it, really found it."

"This is a gold mine?"

"Hahaha"

More than 20 people screamed and jumped in the cave as if they were nervous, and for two months, everyone searched hard and endured countless hardships, and this was a task assigned by His Majesty, and if it was not completed, I don't know when I would be able to go back.

It's really a nowhere to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and today is finally an eyebrow.

"Quick, let's look at it separately, is there anything else? Look again! ”

Forget about any danger, at this time everyone was left with endless excitement, holding torches and continuing to walk into the cave, after the narrowing pass, the cave suddenly opened up again, and the angle of downward inclination became larger and larger, and the further down, the more golden light reflected by the cave wall, the stars dotted, and their eyes lit up like the wind when they saw the sea.

"Hahaha, gold!"

"What gold, it's a gold mine!"

"It's all the same, hahaha, it's out!"
