Chapter 44: Escape from Life
Old Liu headed into the crack and found that although the stone door was large, it wasn't thick, just under a meter. Outside the stone door is another cave, "outside can go out!" Old Liu head shouted while turning back, feet outward first out of the stone door, Zhang Guozhong grabbed the rope also into the crack, just at this time, Qin Ge suddenly heard the sound of huge waves, turned back to use the flashlight to shine, two legs immediately soft, monstrous water rolled along the passage overwhelmingly, the eyes of their own in front of them.
Zhang Guozhong in the crack only felt a cold body, a mouthful of water almost choked to death, "Qin ......" Zhang Guozhong wanted to shout, has shouted out, want to turn around, but the water current is too big, tried several times are not successful. "Where the fuck is the water ah!" Zhang Guozhong cursed in his heart.
"Guozhong!" Old Liu Tou saw the water in the crack cascading out like a waterfall, so he yanked on the rope, and suddenly with a whoosh sound, the entire rope was yanked out of the hole, and Old Liu Tou fell to the ground with a thud, sending an old Liu Tou into near on-the-spot shock. Stand up, the old Liu head rushed to the crack shouted twice no movement, immediately back a few steps, ready to run a little re-rush on the crack, but the old Liu head of this two times than the year Ma Zhenren can be too far away, coupled with the above there is still water pouring down, tried several times were rushed down, "Guozhong ...! Alas! ... "Old Liu was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
Zhang Guozhong put all the strength of the milk, against the current back to find Qin Ge, in the water, a flashlight, not bad, this American flashlight is advanced, waterproof, underwater can also be illuminated, but the water does not seem to be very clear, out of the cracks, the visibility of the water is only one meter.
According to the location just now, Qin Ge should be under the crack, as expected, Zhang Guozhong held his breath, swam to the depths of two, saw a mass of black things are struggling to swim to the front, found that the Qin Ge body wrapped in four or five human skin, is dancing, Zhang Guozhong drew out his dagger, a clatter in the water, although the water has resistance, but this dragon scale dagger is not just sharp so simple, swish a few, four or five human skin Was cut into two halves, Zhang Guozhong grabbed Qin Ge's arm, violently pulled upward, only to feel that this Qin Ge's body like lead as heavy, at this time, Qin Ge's consciousness has also recovered, desperately trying to solve their own bag, Zhang Guozhong also remembered, old Liu head also stuffed him in this bag of two large gold bricks, less than 40 pounds ah, want to Ba a few knives to cut off the bag strap, grabbing Qin Ge swimming back to the crevice.
Old Liu is outside to think of a way out, moved a few pieces of broken momentum ready to step on the stone to climb up, suddenly the current flowed out of a piece of white stuff, fixed his eyes to see, it turned out to be a human skin was cut open.
"Guozhong...!?" Don't know what's going on inside, old Liu head more anxious, is at this time, suddenly saw two legs from the cracks explored out, followed by clattering down a piece, old Liu head with a flashlight, is Qin Ge, Zhang Guozhong's legs followed also explored out, flopped down to the ground, and Qin Ge two people lying on the ground a gasp.
At this time only heard a clang, the stone door trembled, the original hanging stone door of another chain also broke, the stone door was diagonally stuck in the middle, only to hear the cave and the surrounding frame rattling. "The cave is going to collapse!" Old Liu Tou helped Zhang Guozhong up, "Guozhong quickly... quickly stand up..."
At this moment, Qin Ge pulled out a small wet book and compass from his arms and snatched Old Liu Tou's flashlight, "This is the entrance! We should... go west!" Saying this, he stood up, and the two of them together picked up Zhang Guozhong and started running west with big strides.
Running, the three of them felt a softness under their feet, rumbling and leaking, the three of them coincidentally had a chill in their hearts, thinking that it was over, there was indeed a trap.
Flopping three times, all three people fell into the water, this is an underground river, the water flow is very rapid, and do not know where it leads to. Zhang Guozhong only felt something under his feet, it hurt for a moment, followed by a mouthful of choking water, it is good that there is still a little bit of air on top, the three of them just drifted downstream for about ten minutes or so, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of them.
"There is light!" Old Liu head desperately shouted, "Everyone hold on!" In fact, it's useless to shout, with such a rapid current, where to grab?
Looked at the exit, Zhang Guozhong closed his eyes, thought if the waterfall, no root of their own account, the results did not expect, although it is indeed a waterfall, but the drop is only 20 meters, outside is a river, the river on both sides of the cliffs, at this time the day has gradually darkened down, three strong spirit to swim to the shore, Zhang Guozhong pulled down the "borrowed needle", the body immediately softened. Zhang Guozhong pulled out the "life-supporting needle", and his body immediately went limp.
Matches are also wet, want to light a fire can not be lit, the night in the mountains is cold, the three wet clothes until dawn.
"Damn, not die in a great disaster will be blessed later..." Old Liu Tou tightened the waistband of his pants, stood up, Zhang Guozhong lay down for a night, physical strength has recovered quite a lot, stood up and shook twice, basically can walk by himself.
This night, the three of them froze and couldn't sleep, they only heard Old Liu Tou chattering one after another, only Qin Ge didn't say a word. "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry..." said Zhang Guozhong as he walked up to Qin Ge and reached out his hand to pull him up.
"Never mind. My purpose has been achieved... "Qin Ge gritted his teeth and said.
"Your words... what do you mean?" Zhang Guozhong was puzzled.
"I promised my father that I would step into the treasure in my lifetime, and now I've done it..." said Qin Ge.
"Father? You have a father?" Old Liu Tou came up. Zhang Guozhong wanted to laugh at this, who doesn't have a father...
"If the two of you are interested, I would like to introduce you to that Mr. Sun Qilin, I believe you would like to meet him." Qin Ge also ignored Old Liu Tou and just looked at Zhang Guozhong.
"Mr. Qin... I think that our top priority is to leave this place..." said Zhang Guozhong and pulled Qin Ge, and the three of them limped along the river. Probably walked for a morning, suddenly feel this place looks familiar, fixed eyes to see, the original is the river under the "Settlement Platform".
"Damn, how did you get around here?" Old Liu Tou cursed as he walked, "What is the meaning of that Zhao Sange in the end? Since he built the trap, he didn't make it harder, and rushed us to such a place where we can't see the village in front or the store at the back..."
"It shouldn't be..." as soon as Zhang Guozhong spoke, Old Liu Tou immediately looked over, "It shouldn't be what?"
Zhang Guozhong pulled up his pants leg, only to see a large gash on his ankle. "Look, this is the injury I received when I fell down, that trap must have been an underground river originally, made into a trap by Zhao Sange by the way, the bottom of the river must be sharp edges, and the original underground river, was intercepted and became an organ to protect the treasure, once someone destroys the treasure, the organ that intercepted the underground river will take effect, releasing the water to wash out the treasure, we are fortunate that we went in from the back door, and we crookedly released the water, otherwise if we fall into this trap when there's no water, we'll be in deep trouble..."
"Hmm...that makes some sense... "Hearing Zhang Guozhong say this, Old Liu Tou's heart was also in a state of fear.
At this time, suddenly heard someone shouting from the top of the mountain, Zhang Guozhong looked up, it was Chen Sanlai, with a few people behind him, it turned out that this Chen Sanlai see the three Immortals into the cave for so long also did not come out, do not dare to go in alone to look for it, they will go back to the village shouting, the village people began to ten a group of people in the town of a few platforms near the town of looking for it is so coincidental, Chen Sanlai just to the "drop Dingtai "The upper side of the cliff, they saw someone below, a shout is really the three of them.
Back to the village, the three good a burst of gobbling, the mayor of Li village are looking silly, stayed in the countryside for so many years, have not seen so able to eat. Recuperate for about a week, the three people's bodies are basically recovered, bid farewell to Li village head, ready to return. After arriving in Xi'an, Qin Ge directly boarded the train to Guangzhou.
"Master Zhang, do you really not want to see Mr. Sun Qilin?"
"Mr. Qin, if you need help, you can contact me, but I do have to go back to my home now..." although Zhang Guozhong didn't know what this Sun Qi Lin was really doing, but after experiencing this adventure, he still felt that it was better for this Qin to have less contact, and that the things he saw were either a mountain of knives or a frying pan. Although this time, although lucky to escape, next time there is no guarantee that you will have to let Li Erma widowed.
"Master Qin, I hope you do not derail this train..." Old Liu Tou pulled Zhang Guozhong while saying goodbye to Qin Ge with sarcasm and sarcasm.
Qin Ge didn't pay attention to Old Liu Tou, "Master Zhang, this time I still have to do some business in Hong Kong, I will stay in Hong Kong for about two months, if you want to see Mr. Sun, you can come to me anytime..."
"Alright, alright... ugh? Comrade conductor, why is your train still not running?" The conductor who came over was also confused by the old Liu head, send off people are reluctant to part, how this old man is still looking forward to driving it?
Returned to Tianjin, the old Liu head or the two gold bricks in the bag of Qin Ge nagging, Zhang Guozhong is not interested in antiques, simply put their own bag back to the several pieces of antique goods are given to him, the old Liu head began to pretend to put off, while putting off the side of the things to their own home cabinet tucked.
At this time Zhang Guoyi has been looking for someone to Qin Ge's check cashed back, more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, at that time, definitely counted on a large number. Zhang Guozhong to Zhang Guoyi took away 100,000, the remaining 100,000 prepared to rebuild the Tongtian Guan use.
This day, Li Erma just made a good meal, Zhang Guozhong poured a cup of white wine, is repeatedly pondering whether to go to see a trip to Qin Ge, at this time, the old Liu head knocked on the door and entered the house, "Guozhong ah, we help Prince Howe that bastard dealt with the piece of jade, is not it necessary to go back to blackmail him a nose ah?"
Zhang Guozhong thought about it is, if not Qin Ge gave 500,000, so a trip adventure, let Prince Howe that treacherous businessman 60,000 Hong Kong dollars on the dismissal, indeed too cheap him. Just as they are also hesitant to see not see Qin Ge, anyway, Hong Kong and there is no danger, if this old boy really have what crooked ideas, do not agree is, think here, Zhang Guozhong to old Liu head pour wine, "OK, next week we go to Hong Kong!"
Hong Kong, Wang family.
"Mr. Zhang, is everything you said true?" Wang Zihao's eyes widened. "Then did you bring back any evidence? Like the pieces of jade? What should I do if you guys leave and that jade comes back?"
"This..." Zhang Guozhong was speechless, at that time, it was so dangerous, how could he still have the heart to pick the pieces of jade? Traitor, I can't deal with businessmen in the future.
"Alas, Mr. Wang, words can't be said like that, we have a name, we are under the banner of Maoshan, how can we cheat you?" Old Liu Tou paused, "And Master Qin can also prove it."
"You guys wait a minute..." said Prince Howe, picking up the phone and gabbing away, his face immediately turned into a smile. "Mr. Zhang is really sorry ah, I shouldn't have doubted you guys!" Said he took out a check, miso a few strokes, old Liu head took a look, it was the same as what Qin Ge had written, 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Mr. Wang, although the jade is gone, but the matter is not yet finished yo..." Old Liu head said you a prince of the ho is too stingy, Qin Ge did not you have money, the light deposit on the shelling out of 500,000, you kid things are done only 500,000, not hard to knock you even if this old bones of mine live in vain.
"Mr. Liu your department said ... there will be problems?" Prince Howe's voice immediately trembled, just recently had two days of solid days, will not be those evil ways did not deal with clean it...
"Mr. Wang, have you ever wondered, Jade, why would it come back by itself?" Old Liu put the check into his pocket.
Prince Howe shook his head.
"If there's nothing else in your house, this jade, even if it's evil, can't be evil enough to grow its own legs, right?"
When Old Liu Tou said this, Prince Howe's sweat immediately came down, "Mr. Liu, then can you help me again to see what else is unclean in my house?"
Old Liu Tou lit a cigarette and sipped it beautifully, Zhang Guozhong looked at it and wanted to be happy straight away, but at this moment, he could only feign seriousness.
"Oh!" Prince Howe suddenly realized, and wrote a check, old Liu head lazily slipped over, fixed his eyes, two million, thought almost, from their own broken pockets out of the compass, around the house turned up.
