Sun Xiao got off the carriage first, then stood back and stretched out his hand.

Cao Ya followed closely behind him, smiled shyly, and passed her hand to Sun Xiao, asking him to help her get off the carriage.

Shen Zhaozhao took a breath of the cool mountain air.

My teeth are sore from the cold.

"Is this the mountain where you are going for your picnic?" Cao Ya looked at the bare mountain in front of him with curiosity.

"Yes, it is here."

Sun Xiao said, letting go of Cao Ya's hand, and called Shen Zhaozhao and Guan Pingle:

"Fourth brother and sixth sister, put on your hard shells and get ready to go up the mountain. Also strap on your headlamps."

He was not idle himself, taking out equipment from his bag.

Hiking boots, helmets, jackets...

Everyone was busy putting on their equipment. When they finished, they looked up and saw Cao Ya looking at them in confusion.

"Brother Sun, these things you have are really rare."

Shen Zhaozhao nudged Brother Xiao with his elbow, gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Didn't you say you brought extra equipment?"

"Take it out."

These professional mountaineering equipments are very expensive in the seafood market, so Shen Zhaozhao was waiting for Sun Xiao to pay double.

Cao Ya looked at Sun Xiao with expectation.

Sun Xiao smiled and rummaged around in his bag for a while.

Just when Shen Zhaozhao thought he was ready to bleed heavily and place an order on the spot to buy equipment from the seafood market, he took out a piece of white steamed bun and handed it to Cao Ya.

"this……"

Cao Ya looked at the white steamed bun in his hand, puzzled.

"Hey, I brought two steamed buns, give one to Sister Cao." Sun Xiaoxiao grinned, "We're going up the mountain in a while, Sister Cao can't follow us without any equipment, it's bad if she gets bumped into something."

"Just when I left this morning, Brother Guan said he was worried that no one would take care of the carriage."

"Brother Guan, look, Sister Cao is here with you. Don't worry, she'll be watching over the carriage for you!"

The corner of Cao Ya's mouth twitched, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.

So what they meant by bringing an extra piece of equipment was to give her an extra steamed bun!

Shen Zhaozhao was holding back a laugh.

Who is Cao Ya?

There were many women who made her feel embarrassed along the way.

I actually failed here with Brother 꾉!

"Then I'll trouble Miss Cao to help look after the carriage." Guan Pingle readily followed suit and waved goodbye to Cao Ya.

Shen Zhaozhao followed his brother's steps without saying a word, and walked into the mountains with his head down.

"It's colder in this mountain than down there." Sun Xiaoxiao shrank his neck and looked around at the rocks while saying.

Shen Zhaozhao held it in for a long time, but couldn't hold it in anymore, so he started to tease him:

"That's not as cold as your sister Cao's heart."

Guan Pingle also laughed, "You are really amazing, I accompanied you all the way and called you Brother Sun, and finally let you pull the carriage, but you just left me there."

Sun Xiao was squatting and looking at the direction of the mineral veins on the rock wall.

"That's for her own good."

"Otherwise, we have nothing. Going into the mountains with you empty-handed is like sending yourself to death."

Shen Zhaozhao rolled his eyes, “You could have refused her to come with you from the beginning.”

I didn't expect that.

Brother 꾉 is a smart talker.

Sun Xiao stood up and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Didn't I say it too early before? I can't refuse it."

After saying that, he raised his foot and climbed up to the side by grabbing a few huge rocks.

Shen Zhaozhao and Guan Pingle saw that Sun Xiaoji was very agile and didn't take the main road, so they didn't dare to delay and hurriedly followed.

The mountains are rocky.

At first, people were still talking and laughing, but later on, they even used their hands and feet.

"Is this okay, Sixth Sister?"

Guan Pingle himself could hardly hold on any longer and was hanging on the cliff.

This is not the place to look for minerals!

Just here for rock climbing.

"We are here, hurry up."

In the distance, Shen Zhaozhao's voice came from above his head.

Guan Pingle looked up in disbelief.

Only then did he realize that when he tried his best, Shen Zhaozhao had already surpassed him.

At this moment, a face appeared from the cliff above and shouted at him.

Guan Pingle gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.

By the time he reached the platform halfway up the mountain using his hands and feet, he could no longer see the people. All he could see was a cave halfway up the mountain that was only big enough for one person to get in by bending over.

Guan Pingle cursed inwardly.

When he left the camp this morning, he had told Lao that if Sixth Sister collapsed from exhaustion on the way, they would have to take turns carrying her.

result……

Now he is the one who is almost exhausted.

What's more, the other two people didn't show any intention of waiting for him!

"Fourth brother, hurry up!"

In the cave, Shen Zhaozhao followed Sun Xiaoyu, crouching all the way inside.

“Here I come.”

She felt relieved only when she faintly heard Guan Pingle's voice coming from the cave entrance.

The cave is very narrow at first, but the further you go in and down, the more spacious it becomes.

It was getting darker and darker, and they had to rely on the headlamps on their heads to illuminate the road under their feet.

In front, Sun Xiao's movements were flexible and fast, and it was obvious that he was a good prospector in his previous life.

After entering the cave, he seemed like a completely different person.

Not only did he not say a single extra word, but his facial expression also became extremely serious.

"Stop for a moment."

Sun Xiao suddenly stopped, bent down, and lay on the ground with his ear against the stone road.

Shen Zhaozhao didn't know what he was listening to, so he could only wait and look back to see if Guan Pingle had caught up.

Behind him, the lights flickered, and Guan Pingle's face appeared behind the stone wall.

Obviously, he was relieved to see Shen Zhaozhao and Sun Xiaoji.

After all, this was in an unknown cave and it was pitch black all around.

If anything goes wrong, others will have to explain it here.

"You two are walking so fast." Guan Pingle heard the pounding of his own heart.

"Shhh."

Shen Zhaozhao made a silencing gesture to him and pointed at Sun Xiao who was lying on the ground.

Sun Xiao listened for a while, got up and continued walking forward.

"There was no sound of running water, but there was a breeze. The stone walls all around showed signs of being dug by humans."

“This mine should have been opened.”

"There's nothing wrong with the air, and there's no noticeable odor, so you can go without worry."

Behind him, Shen Zhaozhao and Guan Pingle exchanged guilty looks.

Brother 꾉, you are really good at this.

Shen Zhaozhao walked in the middle, feeling that the stone road went up and down, and he didn't know how long he had walked. Finally, Sun Xiaozhao, who was leading the way, stopped.

"Are you there?"

Guan Pingle asked impatiently.

Sun Xiaoji moved away and looked around without paying attention. He moved his fingers along the veins of the rock, took out the tools he brought with him, and knocked on the rock wall from time to time.

There was no one blocking them, and Shen Zhaozhao realized that they had reached the bottom of the stone path without realizing it.

This place was dug out into an inverted bowl-shaped space, with a diameter of several dozen meters from front to back.

She looked up, her headlamp illuminating her surroundings.

You can even see traces of chiseling on the stone walls.

This should be the abandoned gold mine that Zhan Dongfeng mentioned.
