Chapter 157

In order to prevent the loophole of quicksand from expanding, Fu Hongshan and others stopped cleaning up for the time being according to Hu Qingguo. The situation under the stolen cave makes us in a difficult situation. The only people who can really help are Fu Hongshan and the three of them. We can only worry.

When it was around 4 p.m., Liu Dafu made a special trip back to the village just to cope with the sudden door-to-door visit of the police.

Hu Qingguo called Jiang Yilong and I to his side and asked, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiang, I mean, if the following leaks can't be repaired, can you avoid the quicksand layer and go directly to the ancient tomb like last time?"

Jiang Yilong said, "last time it was just a fluke. Besides, we are not good at stealing holes at all. You are the real experts."

Hu Qingguo said, "I know this. I'm just a little worried. If the leak can't be repaired, or if the scope of the leak is too large, the stolen hole connecting directly to the ancient tomb will be filled, then the only way is to make the stolen hole again."

I said, "it's better not to be like this. First, it takes too long to successfully open a stolen hole leading to the ancient tomb. Second, it's just because it takes too long. I'm afraid your left leg injury will get out of control again."

Hu Qingguo said: "yes, yes, you said that it can only last seven days at a time. Now two days have passed. Even if there are five days left, once this kind of thing really happens, it is impossible to find a second new stealing cave directly to the ancient tomb in five days alone. This... Hey, I just hope God sees my pity and doesn't add problems to us."

After one afternoon's preparation, Fu Hongshan and the three of them cut down several big trees nearby. One part was used as a wooden pile support, and the other part cut countless pieces of wood with a sharp machete. Then, they spliced these thick pieces of wood and tied them into a small raft with bark

Liu Dafu returned to the village. Without a chef like him, we ate some dry food in the evening.

Early in the morning the next day, Fu Hongshan and his family went down the cave and dug out the sand bit by bit. In less than two hours, the quicksand from the cave piled up like a hill.

At this time, Liu Dafu came to the camp from the village. Hu Qingguo was not very cold about the things in the village. Instead, Fang Wenhu, who stood above and stole the cave, took the lead in asking, "did the police come yesterday?"

Liu Dafu said, "here we are."

"Have you announced any results?" Roland asked.

Liu Dafu shook his head and said, "it's not, but it brings a message. Let the people in the village move out of the village in the last two days, and each family of the local government will give an appropriate subsidy. As for letting everyone come back for a long time, we'll inform you later."

Roland said, "so it's very serious."

Liu Dafu nodded and said, "listen, it should be. Now the remaining three or four households in the village have been mobilized and are ready to leave the village in these two days."

I asked, "after checking for so many days, they didn't even find out how they died?"

"They are all national cooks. Who will really work hard to check for you. It is very possible that some people are making small mention of it and taking the opportunity to make money." Liu Dafu said.

I said: "this possibility is too small to alarm the police, and now the local government has come forward. You think those people in the top position are really useless. I think it is very likely that the police have mastered some clues and have not found out. Otherwise, they will never mobilize everyone to leave here temporarily."

Just then, there was a noise in the stolen cave. Fang Wenhu listened carefully and immediately said to Hu Qingguo, "little Hu, Lao Fu said he found the leak."

Hu Qingguo hurried close to the stealing cave. We also interrupted the strange things in the village, and the topic gathered around. When we came to the top of the stealing cave, Fu Hongshan put his head out of the stealing cave below and said, "it's about half an square. I tried it in front, and it should work."

Hu Qingguo said, "that's great. Hurry up and fill up the leak."

Next, the wooden piles and rafts prepared by Fu Hongshan yesterday were put into use. They successively went down the rope and went back and forth for nearly an hour. Fu Hongshan stole the hole horizontally from the bottom to the ground.

"The leak has been mended, but the road is blocked. Now we just need to open the theft hole next to the one blocked with wooden stakes." Hu Qingguo nodded, Fu Hongshan looked at us all, and immediately said: "however, little Hu, for the sake of safety, it may take more time."

As Fu Hongshan said just now, it only needs to open a wide stealing hole next to the leakage piled up, and then go back to the track of the previous stealing hole, which can reach the ancient tomb as before. The time spent in doing so depends on Fu Hongshan's efficiency, and it can be done in no more than two hours at most.

Hu Qingguo said, "why?"

Fu Hongshan bent down, picked up a dead branch on the ground, painted and said: "This is the steal hole we made. There was a landslide here, and the quicksand blocked both the front and back sections. Now we have found the leak, and we have just reinforced it with wooden piles, but I have carefully calculated that the distance between the quicksand layer and the steal hole is only no more than 15 cm..."

Hearing this, Hu Qingguo immediately interrupted Fu Hongshan and said, "you mean you're afraid of the stolen cave falling again?" seeing Fu Hongshan nodding, Hu Qingguo said, "if I guess well, you want to dig the stolen cave down and reinforce it." Fu Hongshan nodded again.

Hu Qingguo took a deep breath, sank a little for a few seconds and said, "you should know how long it takes to do this."

"If there is no accident, it will take at least two days," Fu Hongshan said

Hu Qingguo said, "yes, two days. It takes two days to build this stolen cave like a bunker channel. Can we waste this time? After all, we only go once. It may take no more than one day to explore the main tomb and come back."

"But in case."

"No chance!"

Hu Qingguo suddenly showed a strong tone, which made people feel a little angry.

We certainly know less about the cave theft than they do, but fortunately, Fu Hongshan just drew the outline of the transverse cave theft on the ground with dead branches and pointed out where it had collapsed. In fact, the idea he wants to express is more likely to ensure the safety of our sneaking into the cave. After all, the quicksand layer is no more than 15 cm away from the top of the cave. Although we don't know the extent to which the ancient tombs below are huge, the above experience alone may certainly not be small-scale. In other words, above the ancient tomb, it is very likely to pile up quicksand layer as a means of anti-theft, which is definitely a large number of numbers. After all, it has collapsed once in advance, and the spacing is so limited. If there is a slight accident, the quicksand layer is likely to bury the whole stealing hole. At that time, when we are in the ancient tomb, we have no way to go and retreat, and we may really have to be the living burial of the tomb owner.

Chen Qing and Fang Wenhu looked embarrassed. It was obvious that they were considering the same from the perspective of Fu Hongshan. However, Hu Qingguo is not the one who really decides. As the hands of Hu Qingguo, no matter what order Hu Qingguo gives, they can only do it.

I hesitated for a moment, summoned up courage and said, "brother Hu, it's only two days at most. Why not minimize this danger."

Hu Qingguo said: "Xiao Qi, it's not that I'm arbitrary and unreasonable. Since we're engaged in tomb theft, our life is not in our own hands, and we may lose it at any time. At present, the cave theft has opened the door for us to enter the ancient tomb, and the preventive measures in all aspects have been sufficient. Why waste human time on this. Also, don't you see it, Do you think I look like a short-lived face? "

I said, "of course not."

Hu Qingguo smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said, "that's right. When the theft hole is expanded, I will go down with you."

"But your legs..."

"It's all right. I can bear the pain. Now I especially hope that the pain can be stronger."

Hu Qingguo is the master. He has rejected Fu Hongshan's proposal. Fu Hongshan and Fang Wenhu can only obey orders even if they are a little unwilling. Then, Chen Qing sneaks into the stealing cave, widening the horizontal stealing cave and using the prepared wooden piles and rafts as a barrier to support and protect their lives as much as possible.

Although the job was laborious, fortunately, the three of them took turns, which was not a problem. Until 9 p.m., the last Fang Wenhu returned to the ground from the stealing hole.

He said: "the cave has been widened, and even Fu Hongshan, the largest, can pass back and forth at will. Moreover, I specially went forward and went straight down to the cave at the ancient tomb. Although there was some quicksand at the bottom, it was not much. In my opinion, it was only five or six centimeters at most."

Roland answered, "then we can go down now."

Jiang Yilong said, "you're too anxious. We people are all right to be idle, but the three of them have worked hard all day and must consume a lot of physical energy. If something goes wrong because of these reasons, can you bear the responsibility?"

Hu Qingguo said, "don't talk about this. I've decided to start early tomorrow morning."

In this small valley, the night is the most difficult and difficult to spend. However, we must conserve our energy in order to go to the tomb tomorrow. Therefore, after dinner prepared by Liu Dafu, we went back to the tent and slept together.
