Zhou Shixun waited until Dama had shouted enough before slowly following him in. After entering the cave, he took out a flashlight that had not been used.
The moment the flashlight was turned on, the cave lit up.
The further you go in, the stinkier it gets. Bear feces can be seen everywhere, and animal bones have been licked clean.
Shi Daman hid beside Zhou Shixun in fear. When he walked to the innermost part to make sure there were no bears, he said with trembling teeth: "Let's go. Look, there is no one there. I wonder if other bears will come back soon."
Zhou Shixun pushed him away and squatted down, shining the flashlight on the ground. He looked carefully bit by bit and saw a piece of rag among a pile of bones.
I reached out and picked it up. It was a piece of cloth from the backpack. The word "University" was printed on it, but the rest of it was gone.
Zhou Shixun's expression became serious. Sheng Anning also had a backpack like this, which was issued by the school and had Jingshi University written on it.
Could this be Mu Xiaowan’s bag?
If this was Mu Xiaowan's bag, then where was Mu Xiaowan? Had she met with misfortune? Was the blood at the hole left by her?
He carefully checked every corner of the cave again, but did not find any human bones, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up and tried to pick up Shi Daman: "If you try to play tricks again, I will tie you up in this cave and wait for other bears to come and eat you."
Shi Daman quickly shook his head: "I dare not, I will never dare to do it again."
He had no way of escaping, and killing this man who could kill a bear with one blow was as easy as killing a chicken.
This time, Shi Daman led the way again, and the speed was much faster. He did not dare to dawdle. When he came down from the Bear Mountain, he said to Zhou Shixun with a trembling voice: "This mountain is called the Bear Mountain. It is connected to the Xiaocang Mountain behind our village. But there are bears in this mountain. Some people have seen them, but this is my first time."
"These bears will not go to Xiaocang Mountain. Maybe it's because they are afraid. People don't dare to go to the Bear Mountain. They say that people have been eaten by bears in the past."
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became: “I didn’t expect to actually encounter a bear.”
Without any tricks, he took Zhou Shixun to the cave where Mu Xiaowan was actually imprisoned. The location of the cave was difficult to find without someone to lead the way, and the entrance of the cave was covered with branches, making it easy to not see.
Shi Daman looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "That's it. I won't lie to you this time. These branches just cover the entrance of the cave, so outsiders can't find it."
Zhou Shixun glanced at Shi Daman, walked over, pushed aside the branches, and went in with a flashlight. Shi Daman hurriedly followed.
Even if he was asked to run now, he wouldn't dare to run.
He felt that if he ran away, Zhou Shixun would definitely feed him to the bear if he caught him.
The cave was much drier and there were no signs of animal life, let alone people.
There were some messy marks on the ground, as if left by someone struggling.
Zhou Shixun leaned over the ground and looked carefully, searching bit by bit, and finally found a few strands of hair and a button.
There were no signs of fighting or blood, which meant that Mu Xiaowan left here unscathed.
She looked around again and thought of Sheng An Ning's words. She had dreamed that Mu Xiaowan was tied up and thrown into a cave. It was exactly the same.
Shi Daman was also surprised that Mu Xiaowan was not there. He was very puzzled: "She was clearly here, how could she be gone? Did she run away by herself?"
Zhou Shixun asked him: "Do you think she can escape from this mountain?"
Shi Daman was speechless for a moment. Yes, even if Mu Xiaowan ran away, she couldn't escape from this mountain. She would either be caught in a trap or be blown to death by explosives.
Thinking about this, he quickly comforted Zhou Shixun: "No one will be killed by the explosion. I haven't heard any explosions on the mountain in the past few days."
Zhou Shixun had only one guess, whether Zhou Luancheng had found Mu Xiaowan and took her away?
Shi Daman was nervous when he saw Zhou Shixun was silent, and he asked tentatively: "What about now? Where should we go now? Should we go down the mountain to find Mu Xiaowan?"
Zhou Shixun looked at him and said, "Where is the gold mine? Take me there to have a look."
Shi Daman wailed in his heart, isn't this man in a hurry to find someone? Why is he obsessed with the gold mine?
"It's not that I don't want to take you, aren't you anxious to find someone?"
Zhou Shixun pushed him: "Let's go!"
Just as the two men came out of the cave, a man suddenly jumped down from a tree diagonally above them and blocked Zhou Shixun and Shi Daman.
With surprise, he shouted: "Brother?"
Zhou Shixun was also quite surprised to see Zhou Luancheng at this time: "Why are you here? Did you find Mu Xiaowan?"
Speaking of Mu Xiaowan, Zhou Luancheng frowned and shook his head: "I have searched every cave and every bush on this mountain these days, but I haven't seen Xiaowan."
Just found this place too.
Shi Daman was a little dazed. He looked at the two men in front of him who looked similar, then looked at Zhou Luancheng, and then at Zhou Shixun.
Zhou Shixun frowned: "Have you been to the Bear Mountain next door?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "I came from the east. There were many traps along the way, and I took a detour. Yes..."
Zhou Shixun handed a corner of the backpack he found to Zhou Luancheng, told him where he found it, and briefly told him about his encounter with the bear.
"It is certain that Mu Xiaowan ran out from here by herself, and the final destination should be Bear Mountain."
Zhou Luancheng's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he was a little annoyed: "I'm still too slow."
The environment in the mountains is complex, and there are several mountains connected together. It took Zhou Luancheng nearly two days to avoid the area where explosives were densely packed. He didn't dare to move at night, and he had to pass through it very carefully during the day.
Zhou Shixun patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. There are indeed many obstacles on the way up the mountain. It's good that you haven't been discovered. Now you go to Gouxiong Mountain to find Mu Xiaowan, and I'll go to the gold mine to check it out."
Shi Daman muttered to himself, why didn't you forget to go and see the gold mine! At this time, he also understood that these were twin brothers.
The one who just showed up is the real Zhou Gongan.
Zhou Luancheng took the fragments of the cloth bag and said, "Okay, I'll go find Xiao Wan first, and then I'll come find you. They have a group of thugs in the mine, so you have to be careful."
Zhou Shixun nodded, and reminded Zhou Luancheng a few more words: "It's going to rain in the mountains. You must find Xiaowan before tomorrow night. If you can't find her, you must leave the mountain quickly."
After all, Zhou Luancheng grew up in the city and lacks more common sense than him.
Zhou Luancheng didn't ask any more questions. He agreed, said goodbye to Zhou Shixun and left, and handed Zhou Shixun a piece of paper.
Shi Daman watched the two brothers talking like they were talking in a riddle, and then hurriedly separated. After Zhou Luancheng walked away, he asked Zhou Shixun curiously, "He is your brother? Then is Mu Xiaowan your brother's wife?"
