Moreover, it's not very convenient to go into the water during the day. If someone sees him and tells Wang Tianxiao, and he comes to ask for it back, then all his hard work will have been for nothing.
.
Wang Tianxiao sat behind a rock, watching Liu Jun run home quickly, and smiled coldly.
It was a cold, sunless winter afternoon, but his smile was even colder.
This is a very simple situation.
It was something he came up with on the spur of the moment, without much rigorous planning or calculation.
However, for someone like Liu Jun, this kind of situation is actually enough.
He took advantage of the fact that Liu Jun thought he was not very bright, not very cunning or scheming, and then said some formulaic things in a half-truthful way, coupled with his very natural acting.
Liu Jun fell into the trap without any suspicion.
He was a greedy, lustful man who loved money.
How could he suppress his inner desire when faced with such an opportunity to gain an advantage?
Moreover, Wang Tianxiao took advantage of Liu Jun's good swimming skills, because people are always particularly confident in their own skills.
The most difficult part of the plan was figuring out how to drop that cheap jade pendant into the hole precisely.
Wang Tianxiao had considered that if he didn't drop it in the first time, he would pretend to pick it up, but he would slip and kick the jade pendant into the hole, or he would fall and be swept into the hole by his hand.
There are all sorts of contingency plans.
Unexpectedly, things went exceptionally smoothly. Using his years of slingshot skills, he successfully dropped the jade pendant right at the hole's entrance.
That saves the trouble of acting.
What follows is a simple verbal exchange.
Step by step, they led Liu Jun into the bureau, making him believe that only he could retrieve the pendant and that he would gain an extra fortune.
If nothing unexpected happens, given Liu Jun's impatient nature and his greedy desire for good things, he'll probably go to the cave tonight to fish for them.
Theoretically speaking, the longer the time, the farther the items will be washed away, so today should be the best time to retrieve them.
So, this hole is like a cage. Liu Jun thought he was the hunter, but in fact he was the prey.
.
As night fell, the temperature in the mountains gradually dropped.
The mountain wind howled, making countless bare branches tremble as if they were weeping softly.
Wang Tianxiao wrapped his coat tighter around himself and waited silently in the hazy light.
It wasn't completely dark tonight, but the moon was obscured by a thin layer of clouds and couldn't fully bathe the mountains of Ziwu Ridge in its radiance.
It was a gloomy night.
On such a gloomy moonlit night, the world seems to be shrouded in a thin veil, allowing one to see some things clearly, but not particularly clearly, hence the name "foggy moon."
Wang Tianxiao was hiding in a small ravine, which provided shelter from the wind.
He is like a very patient lion or tiger. Once he sees his prey, he can lie in ambush for two or three days to ensure a fatal blow.
No matter how alert the prey is, they should not be underestimated.
We're all just trying to survive, and everyone will do their best.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Tianxiao looked up at the sky and saw the moon gradually reaching its zenith. By this time, even the first wave of his patrol colleagues had returned to the station to rest.
They wouldn't come out again until after 4 a.m.
It's safe to say that, apart from those with ulterior motives, no new people will be coming to the mountains now.
Wang Tianxiao took out his watch and carefully checked the time in the darkness. It was about 2:50 a.m. The night was deep and quiet, the moon was dark and the wind was high, making it the perfect time to break the law and commit crimes.
"They should be here by now."
As he was thinking, he saw a faint light appear on the mountain path not far away.
He pursed his lips.
You little rascal, you just can't let go of this opportunity to take advantage of others.
This cage is not a trap for someone who doesn't care, and it doesn't even pose any threat. But for you, Liu Jun, it's like a pile of shit in front of a dog. You can't stop it from licking it, but the dog can't help it.
Wang Tianxiao continued to hide, watching the light get closer and closer, until it was only about eight or nine meters away from him.
Liu Jun carefully wrapped the flashlight's light source with a cloth or handkerchief, so that only a small patch of light was visible, rather than spreading out.
Since it's not something done openly and honestly, the fewer people who see it, the better.
Liu Jun arrived at the stream, looked around, stomped his feet to warm himself up, and then untied the things from his back and put them on the ground.
A bundle of rope, a small net bag wrapped into a ball, and inside inside is a fully waterproof raincoat.
He tied one end of the rope tightly to himself, looked around while holding the rope end, and finally chose a pine tree with dark green leaves in the night.
The pine tree is at least 20 to 30 centimeters in diameter, and it could easily support the weight of a person.
After he was strapped in, he suddenly realized that he hadn't changed his clothes yet.
He cursed under his breath in frustration, then untied the ropes binding him, put on a raincoat, and then tied the ropes back on.
Wang Tianxiao was wondering how he could see things underwater when he saw Liu Jun take out a few small wooden sticks, unfold them to make a tripod that could be used to block the entrance of the cave. The flashlight was placed on the tripod, which could illuminate the things in the water.
The stream was only about one meter deep, and it was during the dry season in winter, so the depth was probably only about one meter.
In this era, deep in the mountains, the water was crystal clear, and apart from some small aquatic plants, there was practically nothing else.
In the early years, industry was very robust, and the flashlight bulbs with their steel outer tubes were very powerful, with strong focusing and penetrating effects, often able to penetrate very deep objects or illuminate very far.
Placing it at the entrance of the cave will easily illuminate the stream water less than a meter deep.
Liu Jun really is.
They're very well prepared.
If this were a serious matter or a good thing, Wang Tianxiao would definitely give him a thumbs up.
But this... is clearly not the case.
After Liu Jun finished preparing, he gently pushed the tripod aside, looked at the moon in the sky, climbed down under the pine tree, picked up some dry firewood and piled it together, not forgetting to tear off some birch bark and put it under the firewood.
It's probably so that they can light a fire as soon as they come out of the ice cave.
With everything prepared, he returned to the cave entrance, peered inside, seemed to struggle with his thoughts for a moment, and encouraged himself. Then, he gently scraped away all the icicles that had formed at the entrance with his knife, making the entrance smooth so that people wouldn't get cut when entering.
The temperature at night in Ziwu Ridge is very low in winter, around minus 20 degrees Celsius. The frozen icicles are so hard that they can basically be used as knives.
If you were cut by icicles, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Liu Jun also considered this aspect.
He's incredibly meticulous; he's truly a talented individual.
