"What's wrong with you?" the water pump asked incomprehensible.

Huangmao didn't even say anything, and didn't want the shovel and pickaxe anymore. He rolled and crawled out.

I ran faster, and before the yellow hair could move, I turned my head and ran away.

"What, this is! It's so sticky."

The water pump grabbed the thing in his hand in confusion and looked at it, threw it away and ran away.

"Snake! Fucking snake!"

Because it is inconvenient to put the ladder up and down and pour the soil back and forth, the leather bucket is always touched, so the ladder is pulled away when we work.

Huangmao shouted: "Three guarantees! Three guarantees! Ladder! Put down the ladder!"

"What's wrong with you?" Sanbao asked.

"Snake... dig out a lot of snakes!

"Put the ladder!" Huangmao shouted in horror.

"snake!"

Sanbao was so scared that he directly covered the hole with wooden boards.

The light in the thief cave suddenly dimmed, and if there were no headlights, there would be nothing to see.

Finally, the water pump that ran out saw the hole covered and immediately cursed.

"Shh..."

"Don't make a sound..."

"Did you hear the movement?" I asked.

"I heard nothing, no movement."

After saying that, Huangmao scolded again: "Three guarantees! I xxxxx"

I was startled when I saw the snake. Now I calmed down because anyone who has learned common sense in biology knows that snakes are similar to turtles. If they are in hibernation, they are basically not aggressive. It will take time to wake up from hibernation.

Also, it is not uncommon to dig a snake when digging soil, and snakes may be dug out on construction roads on many construction sites.

Because it is cold in winter, snakes have hibernated into holes underground, which is a natural phenomenon.

I said, Brother Pump, go back and take a look. The snake will not move when it hibernates.

"My grass! Why don't you go! If you don't bite people, go!" said the water pump.

I said again, "Then Brother Huangmao, you go, you will never bite people."

Huangmao stared at me hard and said, "Brother Feng, go, you'll bite you to death, I'll cremate you."

"Oh shit."

"What's the big deal? Look at you who are timid, I'll go."

I grabbed the headlight and started crawling back.

At this time, I heard the yellow-haired scolding him for not erecting a ladder.

I saw it clearly when I climbed back this time.

A pickaxe of water pump digs out dozens of snakes.

It is more than one meter long and half a meter short. There are a few hanging on the wall, and a few hanging on the iron pickaxe handles.

Some of these snakes will move, most of them will not move. The scales on the snake's body are yellow-black and there are round spots.

What kind of snake is this?

At this time, the importance of knowledge is reflected.

Sister Hong was interested in plant biology before. I have read several books in her house. One of them was about snakes. I could see this kind of snake just after I opened a few pages. I remember it seemed like it was a beggar snake or a flower snake, which was not poisonous.

I thought about it and something was wrong.

Think about it.

The depth of the hole is about six meters underground now, and it is surrounded by solid soil. Can snakes hibernate so deep underground?

Is this a snake or a burrowing dragon?

I carefully avoided the few flower snakes on the ground, looked carefully at the wall, and after looking at it, I used a shovel to pull the soil twice.

Soon, I discovered a small hole spreading to the right, hollow, as big as a fist.

At this time, a shout came from outside the cave: "Go away! Put down the ladder with three packs!"

I ignored it and used an iron pick to pave the wall on the right side of the thief hole.

A large amount of broken soil fell down, and after digging a few times, a big hole suddenly collapsed.

The entrance of the cave is black, with no wind or sound, and it is very quiet.

"Have you arrived at the underground palace? No? This is still far from it."

I grabbed the headlight, leaned over and looked over.

There is actually a thief hole on the right side of the hole we hit!

A layer of wooden board was laid on the top of the cave, and the lower head was supported by a stick as thick as an arm. The horizontal hole we dug and the hole we suddenly found were separated by a layer of soil, with a distance of less than thirty centimeters!

I was stunned to see.

The snakes in love are not drilled down by the dragons, but first climbed into this thief hole and then climbed into our hole.

At this time, my headlight suddenly began to flash. I wondered if it was out of power, so I hurriedly left and called for someone.

Yang Kun was not here just now, and I said, Brother Yang, come down and take a look. The situation is good. I found a hole with the same route as ours.

One thing to know.

The route that Yang Kun decided was the coordinates he asked the yellow-haired to use the theodolite laser to mark, which was the closest road to the ancient tower.

......

Ten minutes later.

"What should I do if the boss?"

"It seems that the front of the hole is very deep, and I can't even shine the flashlight." asked the water pump.

Yang Kun cursed: "What else can I see? This must be taken first by someone! I am so lucky that I can tell who did it! I have to bury him alive!"

I didn't say anything because I felt something was wrong.

As soon as I looked up, I touched the wooden board, half-squatted, and walked forward about a hundred meters along the thief hole. I found that there was a dead end in front of me, with gravel and soil on the ground. After turning over the soil, I couldn't determine whether the hole led to the underground palace at the bottom of the tower.

But judging from the current situation, the backfilling of the thief hole was only halfway through, and the people before were so panicked that they even confiscated the support boards above their heads. It was precisely because of these boards that the thief holes did not collapse.

I thought about it and said to Yang Kun: "Brother Yang, the road ahead is not clear. If we want to find something, we can only climb back and see where this mouse hole was built."

Yang Kun had a dark face and nodded, "You are right, you go first, I'll follow you."

I cursed in my heart: "You old Yinbi, I'll go ahead. If something happens, I'll die first."

I squatted and climbed forward for more than ten meters. I looked back and found that they didn't move.

"Let's go, what are you doing?" I shouted.

"Don't panic, let's keep a distance, you're walking forward and watching."

"That's right, keep a distance," the pump shouted.

I cursed quietly and then crawled forward.

"What?"

I saw something lying on the ground seven or eight meters away from the front of the thief hole.

I climbed over quickly, and I shone with the light, and was frightened by the scene in front of me, and screamed out loud.

"Brother Yang! Come here quickly! There are dead people!" I turned around and shouted.

Where is there anyone behind me?

Yang Kun's yellow hair was running away from the water pump.

It's a dead person, it's not right.

To be more accurate, it is a dead person with a little meat left on his face. It is rotten, but it has not been rotten yet. You can still smell a faint stench in the middle of winter.

The lower half of the body was wearing ragged jeans, black travel shoes on one foot, and the other was bent outward, without shoes.

He didn't wear a coat on his upper body, only a round-neck black sweater.

I inferred that the style of the travel shoes and the thickness of the socks on the dead man's feet was probably the time when this man died last winter.

I covered my nose with my clothes, stepped over the body and walked to the second half of the thief hole.

Looking up from here, after watching for dozens of seconds, I understood everything.

"Are you okay, brother? Come up quickly."
