Chapter 653: Luck and Fortune
"Sorry, it fell to the ground just after I caught it." Li Gangtie said, touching his nose.
Yuan Jiasi didn't care, "It's okay, it's too heavy, it's normal."
After discussing it, they decided that it would be better to take a safer approach to get out.
Shen Yanming thought that his arm didn't hurt anymore, so he took the lead and decided to jump down to help them.
But Yu Shui held Old Shen back and said, "Why are you trying to show off? Don't you want your arm anymore?"
Shen Yanming stopped trying to show off and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that I am an outstanding student and I must set an example?"
"You should know where to show off! Okay, okay, I know you're good, don't show off next time, ah!"
As Yu Shui spoke, he propped up the hole with his arms and stretched his long legs into the hole. Then he got ready and jumped onto the ground.
Inevitably, I squatted down and rubbed my feet for a long time before I recovered.
"Okay, come down one by one, slowly." Li Gangtie said with his head held high.
The three nodded, starting with Yuan Jiasi, then Chen Qing, and finally Shen Yanming. Each person lowered himself into the air, and then was half-carried down to the ground by the person below.
The people behind were much more relaxed, and none of them had to squat. After a few adjustments, they walked out of the cave.
Several people were dumbfounded. There was no snow on the ground outside! Yu Shui sighed: "Could it be that the avalanche is really that big?"
No one answered, because no one expected it. The mountain outside was not high, and no one could have imagined that the snow would slide down like this.
"Okay, stop standing there, let's go back quickly. There's no snow on the road, so isn't it easier to walk?" Li Gangtie said with a smile.
Everyone nodded and started looking for directions quickly.
They had been wandering in the mountains for so long that they had lost track of east, west, and north, and had no idea where they were.
This is when Li Gangtie's professionalism came into play. After a brief judgment, he chose a direction and led everyone to find the way back.
Although we were inside the mountain when we came here, we didn't take too many detours. But it was not the same when we went back.
Sometimes we went uphill, sometimes downhill, and occasionally we took the wrong road and ran into a ditch, so we had to take a detour. It was not until dark that we returned to Sigou Village.
That is, Chen Qing and Yu Shui had food in their bags, so they could eat to replenish their energy when they were hungry or tired. As for Li Gangtie and Yuan Jiasi, they could only watch.
Li Gangtie was too confident in himself, thinking that he could find food no matter what the environment was, so he didn't take it seriously. But in this situation, he didn't have the opportunity to show his ability at all.
But Yuan Jiasi had no such awareness at all.
There were a lot of things in Shen Yanming's space, but no one was a fool, and their own food couldn't always be in constant supply. So after giving the two of them two pieces of chocolate, he went hungry with them.
But he was fine. He would put a piece of candy in his mouth from time to time, without chewing it, but just holding it in his mouth.
The few people were busy walking and didn't notice his little action. But even if they were discovered, it didn't matter.
It's good enough to share some food, but shouldn't people be allowed to keep some for themselves? Right!
When Li Gangtie and his men returned to the village, they found it very quiet. They visited several houses but did not see anyone.
Finally, I found out what happened at Aunt Yanfang's house.
"Are you okay? Where are the others? Why haven't they come back yet?" Aunt Yanfang asked in surprise.
Li Gangtie did not answer, but asked: "What about them?"
"They heard that you were buried in the snow, so they went to rescue you. All the villagers went there as well. Weren't you rescued by them? Then how did you escape?" Aunt Yanfang made it short.
Li Gangtie nodded, "We were lucky. We were not buried and found a small path to escape."
He didn't say anything specific, just said hello to Aunt Yanfang and led people to the bottom of the ditch.
At the scene of the accident, a group of people were shoveling snow with sad faces.
Li Gangtie was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes and he shouted, "Brothers, I'm here!"
The people who were bending over to work thought they were hallucinating, but when they looked up, they saw that they were indeed five familiar people.
One by one they dropped their tools and ran away, then hugged a few people and burst into tears.
Shen Yanming and the others were fine, just a few familiar ones came over to hug each other, pat each other a few times, and occasionally wipe their eyes.
Li Gangtie was not in such a good condition. The guard, who had been worried for a whole day, hung on him and wiped his tears and snot directly onto his neck and clothes.
"It's okay, it's okay. We are lucky and not buried." Li Gangtie said with a smile.
But the others were not comforted at all. They sobbed and said, "Boss, we were all worried that you would die. Isn't it said that if you are buried in the snow for a short time, you will suffer from lack of oxygen or hypothermia? We were really worried that we couldn't save you."
"Yes, boss. Aren't you working here? Why did you come back from somewhere else?"
Li Gangtie said with a smile: "I'm lucky. I reacted in time when the avalanche happened and escaped. Later I found a small path and walked around half of the mountain before I came back. Thank you for your hard work and being scared here."
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you and your brothers are okay." Everyone present smiled with joy.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back quickly. Everyone should have a good rest and don't catch a cold."
The group walked back happily, and Shen Yanming and Li Gangtie then remembered that they had left their tools in the cave.
Oh, forget it, it's too much trouble to dig it out now. Just now I estimated that the snow must be at least four or five meters deep.
Besides, it was mixed with rocks and dead wood, and was very compacted, so it was difficult to get it. I'd better wait until the snow melts in the spring and come back to get it.
or......
Li Gangtie made up his mind, but said nothing.
As soon as the group arrived at the village, they ran into the guards who came to rescue them.
When the two groups met, they were both a little confused.
"Captain Li, you're out?" The person who reported back to the guard team and asked for rescue was both surprised and happy.
Li Gangtie nodded, "It's a stroke of luck!"
Then he nodded to the comrades who came to rescue him and briefly explained the situation.
He only said that when they saw the falling snow and rocks, they hid away and found a small path that took a long time to get back. Because they couldn't communicate, this misunderstanding occurred.
Li Gangtie's eyes blinked like he was having a seizure. Captain Liang on the opposite side smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
After listening for a long time, Yuan Jiasi found that Captain Li did not mention the secret passage and the treasure inside. He thought that the other party was also tempted and wanted to take it for himself, so he deliberately did not mention it.
While I despised him in my heart, I was also secretly glad.
It's better not to mention it. If you don't mention it, you will have a chance to steal it back. You just need to be one step faster than the other party.
Then he looked at Shen Yanming and the others warily, and saw that they looked normal, without any greed on their faces. He was a little unsure of what they were thinking.
Is this because you have seen too many good things and that’s why you don’t care?
Yuan Jiasi felt sad and uncomfortable.
