Enter the Room

I'm afraid no one in Hongshan'ao doesn't know that they are looking for someone.

"Well!" Song Jiyun said to the little girl in a warm voice, "There are a lot of strangers coming and going in the col these days. Please take care of the children at home and don't get lost."

The little girl suddenly seemed to be greatly encouraged, and her voice became fluent: "Boss Song, my mother secretly raises rabbits in the back mountain. Last night, someone quietly came to me and bought two rabbits." She said , took out a piece of broken silver from his body and said, "Look, this is the money that person paid to buy the rabbit."

Song Jiyun was stunned and hurriedly pulled the little girl aside and whispered in a trembling voice: "Little girl, thank you for telling me this. What does that man look like? When did he buy the rabbit from you? Who else knows that he came to you? Bought a rabbit? After he bought a rabbit from you, do you know where he went? "

The little girl said obediently: "My father always lent family money to my uncle. My mother was very angry, so she raised rabbits to sell in the back mountain. I have to take care of the rabbits every morning and evening. Last night I went to clean up the rabbit nest. A very good-looking young man appeared out of nowhere and said he wanted to buy two rabbits.

“My mother usually goes down the mountain to sell rabbits, so I sold them to him.

"He asked me not to tell anyone, but I didn't tell anyone. I wanted to wait until I got back to tell my mother, but when I got home, my mother and my father followed the others into the mountains, and I didn't even have time to tell my mother.

"He bought my rabbit and went to the back mountain. As for where he went, I don't know."

Song Jiyun's voice was a little urgent: "Then do you remember what kind of clothes he is wearing? How tall is he?"

The little girl shook her head: "It's too dark, I don't remember what kind of clothes he was wearing. But," she glanced at the people around her and pointed at Zheng Quan, "it seems to be about the same height as him."

Song Jiyun felt excited and said to the little girl, "Can you give us some directions later?"

The little girl nodded in agreement.

Song Jiyun promised: "If I find anything, I will give you a reward of ten taels of silver like others."

The little girl shyly whispered: "I, I am willing to guide you, you don't need to give me money. You have already rewarded my brother with money just now."

Song Jiyun did not argue with her. He called Zheng Quan over, told him what happened, and said, "Hurry up and organize a few people, and let's go to the back mountain to have a look."

Zheng Quan agreed and called several kiln workers transferred from the Song Kiln Factory, which alerted County Magistrate Jiang and others.

After learning the whole story, Magistrate Jiang smiled bitterly.

When he was also looking for people, Song Jiyun found them many times, but they were like headless flies. I don’t know if Song Jiuyun was lucky or if they didn’t follow their rules.

Magistrate Jiang said: "I will go with you too."

There is strength in numbers.

Song Jiyun did not refuse.

A group of people went to the back mountain.

The little girl pointed to one of the narrow paths: "That's where the man walked."

A person picked out from the mountain people saw it and said loudly: "I remember there is a cave up there."

Everyone was excited after hearing this.

Everyone climbed up quickly as if they had taken Hercules Pills, saw the cave, and found the same road sign as Hongshan Col at the entrance of the cave.

"Found it, found it!" Someone couldn't help but cheer.

Song Jiyun, Magistrate Jiang and others couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Shao Qing took the lead in taking the lead in the cave.

Song Jiuyun followed closely behind.

The cave is like an urn. The entrance is not big, but it is very spacious and humid when you go in. The cave walls are covered with all kinds of moss and vines. There is a big hole on the top of the cave. The morning light shines in from the big hole. The light is bright. You can see the scene in the cave at a glance.

nobody!

There were no remnants of campfires or anything like that.

Song Jiyun couldn't hide his disappointment and looked around the cave, hoping to find something.

Shao Qing was walking around in the cave.

County Magistrate Jiang, Deng Chen, and Xu Guangzeng walked in one after another and said, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Shao Qing was in a low mood. He continued to walk in the cave while replying: "No! It's nothing..."

But he hadn't said a word yet, as if he was stepping on something, his body leaned forward, as if he had stepped on something empty and was about to fall.

"Be careful!" Everyone exclaimed, but he quickly grabbed the vines on the nearby cave wall, stabilized his body, and looked down at his feet.

"Here, there is a hole below!" He said in horror.

Deng Chen had already ran over.

The two pulled away the vines on the ground, revealing a dark hole the size of a millstone.

Everyone was stunned.

Shao Qing shouted loudly: "Bring me the wind lamp."

Immediately someone brought over the lit gas lamp.

Shao Qing and Deng Chen held up their lamps and looked down.

"There's someone down there!" Shao Qing said excitedly, "I saw the white shirt. Young Master, Young Master, is it you!"

Song Jiyun immediately squeezed over after hearing this.

The white silk glowed in the darkness, and a tall figure could be seen lying prone on the wet rocks below.

"Hurry, save people!" Song Jiyun heard himself stumbling. It wasn't until Zheng Quan helped her to the side that Shao Qing and others organized to rescue people. Only then did Song Jiyun realize that his limbs were weak and he could no longer stand. .

Zheng Quan sat her down on a stone in the cave and ran over to help.

The entrance to the cave was too small, making it difficult for Shao Qing to go down.

They recruited a small man and hung him down with a rope.

There was such a big movement above, but there was never any sound below.

Song Jiyun felt a biting cold. When she saw Magistrate Jiang coming, she couldn't help but murmured to Magistrate Jiang: "The little girl said she saw him at night. It's not too late for us to come, right? We should call the doctor at this time. Come on, let the doctor prepare some bruises."

When she said this, as if she suddenly knew what she should do, she stood up suddenly and called "Zheng Quan", asking him to quickly arrange for a doctor and a sedan chair: "It will be easy to carry it down the mountain then. Clean clothes." You also need to prepare a blanket. In this weather, I might not be able to stand it if I only wear a medium coat."

Zheng Quan glanced at her, paused, and hurriedly went to arrange for the doctor.

Magistrate Jiang hesitated for a moment, then asked someone to bring a blanket that he found from somewhere and put it on her.

Song Jiyun still felt cold, clutched his lapels tightly, and sat down again.

The little man shouted from under the cave: "How to get people up? They are all exhausted!"

The people in the cave suddenly felt as if their throats had been cut, and all sounds stopped abruptly.

"Impossible?!" Song Jiyun grabbed the vines around him and tried several times but couldn't stand up.

Magistrate Jiang didn't care about her anymore and ran to the entrance of the cave.

Shao Qing was the first to lie down at the entrance of the cave: "What are you talking about? Can you try breathing again? It must be too cold down there and I'm freezing."

The little man whispered: "Why are you so angry? Don't I want him to live? If he lives, we can all receive some rewards."

The echo made his voice fall into everyone's ears without any escape.
