e.The river flowed, the moon curved, under the Shun De Arch Bridge, stood a boy and a girl."Li Jing, look quickly, look at this fifty thousand yuan. You return this money to those people, and then you...Having suffered a major loss before, we almost lost everything here. This time, we are much more careful as we leave.

Following the footprints, after a while, there appeared a small cave at the front with a very low entrance. The footprints finally disappeared outside the entrance.

To call it a cave is actually misleading, "hole" would be more accurate. The entrance is less than four feet high, so adults have to stoop to get inside.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look," Hongjie said as she gestured towards the cave opening.

The research assistant might have claustrophobia, she looked scared. I comforted her not to think too much, maybe there's nothing inside, it's just a small cave, no need to be afraid.

"Watch your head, be careful not to bump into each other," Hongjie kept reminding us to be careful.

This small cave is about forty or fifty meters long. When you get to the end, you can finally stand up straight.

We see that there are burnt branches and charcoal on the ground here, as well as some crudely made stone jars.

In the corner, there's still a good amount of hay piled up, looking like it's for sleeping.

I swallowed nervously, "How could such a beast even build a fire and cook Red Sister, look at these stone tools on the ground. Could it be that the mountain goblins have de-evolved into cave dwellers"

"No," Hong Jie raised her eyes and looked around herself, saying, "This is obviously the trace left behind by human life. I don't think those things would possess these living skills. It doesn't make sense."

"Where's the person Where is anyone" This place isn't that big. I just keep rummaging through the hay, hoping someone is hiding underneath.

I didn't find anyone, but I did make a big discovery! I found a hidden army green backpack under the hay pile!

"Look! Come quickly! I made a discovery! I knew there was something going on!" I hurriedly placed my backpack on the ground and opened it, eager to see what was hidden inside.

We turned every compartment of the backpack upside down, you won't believe it, we found quite a bit!

There was a dagger, a fire starter, several bags of packaged compressed rations, and a length of cut rope along with a small box of gauze.

This is enough to tell us one thing: there were people living in this cave before, and they definitely weren't our group. It probably wasn't Chen Jian Sheng and his crew either.

Who... is this

"Shh... " At this moment, Hongjie suddenly pointed to the entrance of the cave and whispered, “Listen carefully, there are footsteps, someone is coming in.”

Listen carefully, you can hear the footsteps getting closer.

I hastily picked up a stone from the ground and clenched it in my hand as a weapon. I thought to myself, if Chen Jian-sheng's gang catches up, I must strike first.

Soon, a figure crept into the cave entrance. I was about to smash this person on the head with a stone when they suddenly looked up. Our eyes met.

"How could it be you!"

"How are you here!"

This face I know, or rather, I'm all too familiar with it.

This person is actually Yao Yumen, who I haven't seen in a few months!

She stared blankly at us, apparently not expecting us to appear here suddenly. Both sides just looked at each other for two or three minutes.

Yao Yumen pointed at the stone in my hand, and suddenly burst into laughter. "Well now, Xiang Yunfeng, it's been several months since we last saw each other, and the first thing you do when we meet is try to kill me with this"

I was stunned and immediately dropped the stone in my hand, rushing over to ask her, "Jade Sister! What's going on! How did you suddenly appear here Didn't you leave Shun De already Where is this place, what exactly is happening!"rld."">"What does 'odd person' mean" I said, puzzled.“Hey,” the boss patted me on the shoulder, “Yunfeng, you’re still young now, you don’t need to know too much. You just need to know one thing, thes...
