PDLP Chapter 540 Discovering the Cave
Chapter 540 Discovering the Cave
"The toilet plug should be okay, right?" Jiang Jiyun took out a toilet rubber plug from the mall and pushed it hard.
She tried to pull it hard and laughed, "It really works!"
After the second toilet plug got stuck, when she tried to remove it, she found that she was too weak and she couldn't pull it back.
"I don't know how long this passage is. How about I go back the same way? But I can't get up there either. The entrance to the cave is in the middle of the water. Even with a drone, there's no way to get up to the entrance?" Jiang Jiyun looked here, then at the top of the water, thinking about how to get up.
She continued to take out toilet plugs one by one and climbed up, muttering, "If someone comes here and finds these toilet plugs, they'll think I'm a tomb robber!"
While Jiang Jiyun was struggling to climb the passage using a toilet plunger, Jiang Wenming and Ma Chao were rushing into the mountains with weapons in hand.
"I've already expected that no matter where she goes, she will encounter the Japanese. Her physique is really special. I don't know whether she is unlucky or the Japanese are unlucky!" Jiang Wenming muttered to himself. Although there was a hint of complaint in his words, the worry on his face was obvious.
Ma Chao, who was standing by, ran and consoled her: "Actually, from another perspective, she is also a lucky star. No matter where she goes, she can successfully thwart the devil's conspiracy!"
After running for more than an hour, they finally arrived at the place where Wang Guangming and his friends were before.
Jiang Jiyuan didn't say a word all the way. When he got here, he looked around anxiously, but he still couldn't see his sister.
So he quickly walked up to a soldier who stayed behind and asked anxiously, "Comrade, have you seen the girl with two pigtails chopping wood here?"
Yu Jin had spotted them before, and when he saw that it was his own people, he did not shoot. After hearing Jiang Jiyuan's question, he could not help but frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Oh, you are talking about the three children, right? They put the firewood over there and went down the mountain."
Jiang Wenming, who had just run over and hadn't taken a breath, felt his heart tighten and his face turned pale when he heard him say that the children had gone down the mountain.
They had just come up from the mountain and hadn't seen any children along the way.
It would be understandable if they were so busy getting on with their journey that they didn't notice the child in the bushes.
But how could Xiaoyun not call out to herself when she saw them? This was simply impossible.
The more Jiang Wenming thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He turned his head and looked not far away, and found three bundles of firewood tied with ropes and neatly placed on the ground.
He walked over quickly and wanted to carefully examine the three bundles of firewood, hoping to find some clues as to which direction the children had come down the mountain from.
At this moment, two huge explosions were suddenly heard.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The sudden loud noise startled Jiang Wenming and others.
They quickly raised their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see flames and smoke rising from the opposite hillside, obviously a fierce battle was going on.
The people on the mountain here had already ambushed them, holding guns tightly in their hands. As long as the Japanese approached, they would shoot without hesitation.
Seeing this, Qi Feng and Zhang An hurriedly followed Jiang Wenming and ran over to check the three bundles of firewood together.
When they walked not far from the firewood, they found a thick tree stump next to the firewood. Part of the stump was exposed outside, and a lot of black fungus grew on it.
Jiang Wenming saw a rope tied to the tree stump. "Hey, what are they going to do with this exposed part of the tree stump?"
He walked over curiously to check if there were any clues, and when he reached the tree stump, he suddenly stepped on empty air.
"Ouch!"
Zhang An quickly grabbed the fallen Jiang Wenming. Qi Feng came over and pulled away the firewood, and saw that one of Jiang Wenming's legs was stepping on a hole. They also saw that the other end of the rope tied to the tree stump went straight into the hole.
"The children won't go down, right?" Qi Feng's heart beat faster.
Zhang An helped Jiang Wenming up and inspected the hole. He said, "This place must have been covered up. It might have broken and fallen down when someone stepped on it."
Jiang Wenming shouted towards the cave entrance, "Jiang Jiyun! Xiaoyun! Can you hear me?"
Jiang Jiyuan heard his uncle's shout and ran over. He looked at the dark hole and said anxiously, "I'll go down and take a look."
"Wait a minute, there's no point in worrying now. Let me check the entrance of the cave. They are children and might fall in, but we are adults and it will be troublesome if we get stuck in the cave and can't get up or down." Zhang An grabbed Jiang Jiyuan who was pulling the rope.
"The opening above is barely enough to go down, but I don't know what the situation is down there." Zhang An turned his head to look at the battlefield over there and then at the entrance over here.
Jiang Jiyuan turned around and untied the ropes on the three firewood piles one by one, muttering: "I'll go down and take a look. If it's really stuck, I'll pull the rope hard immediately and you can pull me up in time. It must be pitch black down there, so I'm more suitable to go down than you."
After he said that, he grabbed the rope tightly and pulled it hard a few times to test its firmness.
After confirming that the knot was not tight, he untied the rope, carefully tied a new knot, then pulled the rope without hesitation and slowly slid down.
When he slid down for a while, his feet touched the knot on the rope. He immediately stopped sliding down, felt for the knot with his hand, and carefully checked whether it was firm.
After finding that the knot was not secure at all, I tied it again to ensure my safety.
After sliding all the way down, when his feet could no longer hook the rope, he did not panic, but quickly took out the rope used to bundle firewood from his body, connected it to the original rope, and continued to slide down.
Jiang Wenming looked at his watch and then at the cave entrance and said, "Xiao Yuan has been down there for almost 20 minutes, why hasn't he been notified yet?"
Zhang An put his hand on the rope, but he did not feel any violent vibration on the rope, only a slight vibration, which meant that he was still sliding down.
"This hole is a bit deep. I wonder if the children will be in danger?" Qi Feng said worriedly.
Jiang Jiyuan was panicked for a moment when he came out of the passage and was hanging in the air. He took out a flashlight and shone it downwards, and found an underground river.
This sight gave him hope. There was a bulletproof vest floating on the river not far away. He shouted, "Jiang Jiyun, Xiaoyun, where are you? Brother is here to find you!"
There was nothing in response to him except the echo. He could only go down into the water and swim, then he pulled the rope hard.
After that, he swam to the shore, climbed up the rocks and looked around for traces. After hearing the "splash" sound of someone falling into the water, he shone his flashlight over there.
