Chapter 774 The Gentle Little Wife
Lu Yao looked at the location of the water seeping from the stone wall.
They are all cracks.
I'm even more certain now.
The underwater skeletons and limbs were broken off, some half-buried in the rocks.
An explosion clearly occurred.
Most of the people were killed in the explosion.
Another leg was trapped under a boulder, but there was a hole in his forehead.
That hole is a gun hole.
The stone weighing him down weighed several hundred kilograms, and it was clearly not moved and smashed on him by someone.
He must have been pinned down by a rock and then shot again.
I couldn't help but recall Jin Wanliang's words.
The warlord was hiding something, so naturally he wouldn't leave anyone alive; he was the one who blew everyone up.
Then, the matter became clear in Lu Yao's mind.
This hot spring lake didn't originally exist in this valley.
The tunnel in the crevice of the rocks underwater is a cave.
The warlord brought his men in and hid the supplies in the cave.
Then he wanted to kill them to silence them, so he used a bomb to kill them.
Even the soldiers were not spared, so explosives were the only option.
It might be a landmine or explosive charge.
Moreover, the bomb was quite powerful, leaving so many people with severed limbs.
They may have underestimated the power of the bomb, as it directly caused the entrance to collapse.
The pile of stones covered the cave and cracked the mountain, causing the spring water that had been there to overflow.
The warlord then finished off the man who wasn't already dead by shooting him.
The reason why these people's bodies were not disposed of may be because the bear cave is very secluded, and this is a dead valley, so there is no need to worry about it.
He then sealed off the entrance to the bear cave.
That's all one person can do.
Animals have a more sensitive sense than humans. That big black bear must have sensed the heat source later, found the sealed cave entrance, and pried open the rocks to enter the cave.
The entrance to the bear cave leading to the hot spring valley was originally sealed off, but it was pried open by bears who came in to hunt the antelopes.
As for this hot spring lake, it was formed by water seeping through cracks in the rock wall and accumulating over many years.
In other words, someone hid something first, and then this lake appeared.
Over the decades, little by little, the valley floor was transformed into a lake.
The lake flooded the entrance to the cave.
The warlord only told his father about it.
Under Jin Wanliang's severe torture, his father confessed all the facts.
All of that is in the past. Now, Lu Yao is certain of one thing: those supplies are definitely still in the cave.
It may have already been submerged by water.
However, gold and silver will not be corroded.
The question is, how can I get in and get it?
After resting for a while, Lu Yao took another deep breath and jumped down.
This time I was more familiar with the route and went even further than last time.
They also confirmed their conjecture.
This place was originally a cave.
The entrance to the cave was destroyed by explosives.
Moreover, inside the cave entrance, there are several skeletons, which are people who were sealed inside.
They simply didn't have the ability to move the large rocks at the entrance of the cave.
The cave entrance collapsed back then, and it must have been mixed with mud, blocking the gap through which I came in.
Later, the mountain springs and lake water washed away the debris, creating a narrow gap that people could squeeze through.
I could only walk about ten meters further than last time before I couldn't go on anymore.
Go back immediately.
It only surfaced after taking a couple of sips of water from the lake.
Lu Yao was completely exhausted.
It was dark, and we couldn't see anything underwater.
We can't go any further.
At this distance, even if you find something, you can't bring it with you.
Moreover, Lu Yao didn't know how far it was from finding it.
I sat quietly by the lake and smoked a cigarette.
It's impossible to drain the lake.
It seems like we can't do it without diving equipment.
However, in this era, diving equipment such as oxygen cylinders and diving suits are strictly controlled by the state, and individuals cannot buy them even if they have money.
At this moment, he did miss Shi Shouyin a little.
If this guy were alive, I might be able to use him to help me figure out a solution.
This seems like a very perplexing issue now.
One option is to wait until the market opens up and resources are no longer scarce, and with the advent of the market economy, we can buy diving equipment and come back later.
However, that will take several years.
During this period, there is no guarantee that no one else will come here and make any changes.
Although the entrance to the cave is hidden, it is not a secret space.
Lei Dachun and his group stumbled in last night by accident.
Another method is to buy or borrow diving equipment through connections.
The second option is clearly better.
But are my own connections enough?
Hao Limin, Mei Ping, and Ju Zhenghua may be capable, but they are all incredibly stubborn.
The truth is impossible to tell; I need to come up with a perfect excuse first.
No matter what I do, I can't go in tonight.
Lu Yao took a nap on the rock.
The next morning, after eating some more mutton, I cut off two pieces to take with me as dry rations and headed back.
On the way back, we also hunted a roe deer and carried it back with us.
It was already past midnight when I got home.
Dogs started barking as soon as you entered the village.
It caused many family members to come out with flashlights to investigate.
Lu Yao kept shouting, "I'm Tuwazi, I'm Lu Yao!"
From behind came Aunt Xilian's cursing voice:
"What the hell are you doing walking around in the middle of the night, causing such a commotion!"
Lu Yao hurried home.
They threw the roe deer into the barn.
The family dog recognizes him and doesn't bark. But the neighbors' dogs bark incessantly.
Lu Yao felt gratified.
If these dogs bark, any bad guys would be scared away.
Even though I haven't done anything wrong, I'm still terrified.
Grandpa Zuo's dog almost crawled over the cane and bit him.
Ding Mei heard it too.
I opened the door for him and quickly went inside.
Lu Yao took off his clothes and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and then it became quiet outside.
As soon as she got into bed, Ding Mei snuggled up and hugged him:
"You found the herbs? Why did it take you three days to get back? I missed you so much!"
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Hot Spring Valley is so far away. I'm walking fast, but if I take you, it will take another day."
Hug him, reach out:
"Has anything happened?"
Ding Mei smiled and grabbed his wrist:
"It'll be ready soon, don't touch it, it's dirty."
The two of them fell asleep embracing each other.
Ding Mei had no doubt that Lu Yao was lying to her.
When they leave, I long for them to come back; when they come back, I hold them and sleep with them.
She looks exactly like a typical housewife or young wife.
Faced with such a wonderful wife, Lu Yao felt a little guilty.
I recall being in the valley, and Shui Miao, who was as white as a little lamb, stirring up clouds and rain.
He couldn't help but hug Ding Mei even tighter.
You'd better be more careful in the future and not be so fickle.
Otherwise, I would be letting Xiao Meizi down.
But to be honest, there's still one unresolved issue he's resolved.
I won't touch other people, but Sister Juwen was my confidante in my past life.
I haven't touched it yet in this lifetime.
You ruined someone else's relationship, shouldn't you offer some compensation?
By the way, I should ask Sister Juwen tomorrow if she knows any ways to get diving equipment.
Aside from those few stubborn mules, Sister Juwen has the most connections.
After letting my mind wander for a while, I went to sleep.
I slept soundly until dawn.
After having breakfast, Lu Yao started the car to warm it up.
I told Ding Mei that I had to go into the city today.
Ding Mei didn't say much, she was already used to Lu Yao being busy.
Lu Yao gutted and skinned the roe deer.
They cut off both thighs to take into the city as gifts.
Just as I was about to drive off, I saw a bicycle coming from outside the village.
I recognized it without even getting close.
It turns out that Jing Youxiang has returned.
