After he finished speaking, You Hui looked at Yu Liehu and said, "Yu Liehu, you must be very good at hunting!"
Hunter Yu immediately smiled and said, "It's not bad. In our village, I am the best hunter. If hunting hadn't been banned in the village, my family wouldn't have had such a hard time."
You Hui immediately smiled and said, "That's great. We'll leave our dinner to you, Hunter. Don't worry, we won't let you hunt in vain. We'll each give you a dollar as dinner money."
When Yu the Hunter heard this, he was tempted for a second, but he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, you don't need to give so much. Just give one or two cents. One dollar is too much."
You Hui smiled and said, "Just accept it. You've been working hard to accompany us up the mountain these past few days. The rest is my compensation."
Yu the Hunter smiled sheepishly, rubbing his head and saying, "What's the big deal? Didn't you pay me two dollars a day? You paid me wages, so it's only right that I accompany you here."
After the two finished chatting, they divided the work and hurried to do their own things before it got completely dark.
Xiao Ling and You Wu stayed and set up camp.
It quickly got dark, and everyone who had gone out was rushing back.
After being out for a while, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai came back, both of them were holding bloody hunters in their hands.
Following them came Youhui and Yu the Hunter, who also went hunting.
But these two people were a bit pitiful, as they only brought back a pheasant.
The four of them, one in front and one behind, just bumped into each other.
When Yu the Hunter saw the hunters in Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai's hands, he didn't feel embarrassed at all because he had hunted too many. Instead, he walked over happily and said, "Comrade Zhang, Comrade Gu, you are really amazing. You are even better than me, a hunter who has been hunting for many years!"
Zhang Meng smiled politely, "We were just lucky and ran into a group of hunters."
You Hui came over carrying the pitiful pheasant and said with a smile, "I was worried that this one pheasant wouldn't be enough to eat. Now, with your hunter, we can all have a good meal tonight."
Gu Mingtai took the prey from Zhang Meng's hand and threw it towards Youhui. "We'll be in charge of the fight, and you guys will be in charge of the food."
Youhui took it with a faint smile on his face.
Soon, everyone finished eating the prey and began to rest at the entrance of the cave, silently waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock.
Late at night, as it was almost 12:10, Xiao Ling, having endured for a while, could no longer bear it and ran to Gu Mingtai and asked loudly, "Gu Mingtai, what exactly did you find? Can you tell us honestly and stop making us guess? Also, you said the cave would change after 12:00, but now it's already past 12:00 and the cave is still the same, with no changes at all."
Gu Mingtai was about to retort when Zhang Meng, who was near the cave entrance, suddenly shouted, "Gu Mingtai, come here quickly."
When she shouted, everyone ran towards her.
"What happened?" Youhui asked first.
Zhang Meng made a hushing sound towards them, then pointed inside the cave and said, "Listen, there's a sound coming from inside."
When she said this, everyone pricked up their ears and moved towards the cave entrance.
Sure enough, I heard the sounds of "clattering" coming from inside.
"What's that sound?" Yu the hunter looked up at everyone and asked.
Xiao Ling then looked at the two brothers beside him and said, "Brothers, I heard the sound of something being spilled."
"Is it sand?" Youwu asked Youhui.
You Hui shook his head and frowned, "Not like it!"
At this moment, Gu Mingtai affirmed, "It's water."
"Yes, it's water." Zhang Meng also confirmed.
Soon the sounds inside were getting closer and clearer.
The next moment, countless drops of water fell on their faces.
You Hui wiped the water droplets from his face and immediately turned around in surprise to look at Gu Mingtai, who was also looking at the cave entrance. "Comrade Gu, did you know all along that water would come out of this cave late at night?"
If this is true, then he really underestimated Comrade Gu.
I originally thought he was just a soldier, but now it seems that he underestimated the enemy.
Now, not only he was looking at Gu Mingtai, but even Zhang Meng was looking at her husband with admiration.
"Gu Mingtai, you're amazing. You actually guessed that water would come out of this hole long ago."
Gu Mingtai smiled, grabbed her hand, looked at the others and said, "These are just my guesses, but it seems my guesses are correct. When the water comes out later, we will rush down with it."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
This was a matter of life and death. Xiao Ling was the first to come to her senses and shouted, "Let's just rush down like this. I hope we won't be smashed to pieces. I don't want to die here."
Xiao Ling shook her head vigorously.
Yu the Hunter also looked at Gu Mingtai with a pale face and said, "Yes, the cave is bottomless. If I fall in, I won't even be able to find my body. I don't want to become a wandering ghost after I die."
Zhang Meng glanced at the two of them, then looked towards Gu Mingtai with trust, "Gu Mingtai, you must have thought of a way to get out of here, right?"
Gu Mingtai held her hand, looked around, and quickly continued, "You'd better make a decision quickly. The water won't come out for long, only a few minutes. I can only say that I don't know what kind of danger is in there. If you are afraid of death, you can stay here. My wife and I can go down by ourselves."
Zhang Meng immediately said, "Gu Mingtai, I want to go down with you."
Gu Mingtai smiled at her, held her hand tightly and said, "Even if you want to leave, I won't let you leave."
"The water is out. If you haven't made up your mind yet, go ahead and think about it. My husband and I will go down first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he held Zhang Meng's hand tightly, and the couple rushed into the column of water gushing out of the cave.
