Chapter 238: Digging the Box overnight
At this moment, someone shouted in surprise: "Red snake! The red snake is on the top of the cave!"
Everyone looked up and saw that it wasn't it? On the wooden shelf that was temporarily built in the mine, there was a huge red snake plate on the wooden shelf.
This time, the red snake finally showed its head in front of people. This red snake was not all red, but had some black spots, and the head was slightly triangular, some like a soldering iron.
The person who understands snakes couldn't help but push back. Judging from the head of the snake, it was obviously a poisonous snake!
The red snake raised its head and looked very fierce.
The commissioner looked happy: "It seems that the blood is still useful. Although it is not the real Liu bloodline, it is still a bit of the foundation of the ancestors."
He carefully reached into his pocket, took out something, and pointed one of the things at the Red Snake.
The Red Snake was shocked and quickly drilled down, but its body was too large and could not hide anywhere. The thing in the commissioner's hand had already started, and with a puff, a burst of smoke was shot out, spraying on the Red Snake's head. The Red Snake's eyes suddenly widened, almost as big as a basketball, scaring everyone backed back, but the Red Snake did not attack everyone, but retreated into the hole and disappeared in a short while.
Everyone ran to the cave to search, but could not find it. This is really strange. The space in the cave was limited and it could not accommodate such a large animal anyway. Moreover, animals like snakes themselves cannot dig holes, and most of them were holes drilled by other animals. It is really incredible that this red snake is so elusive. Could it be able to travel through space?!
The commissioner said lightly: "It seems that we can't take this thing away. Well, we can only take away the box and the things in the box. Next, everyone must listen to me, otherwise it will be troublesome."
What this person did makes people feel unpredictable and profound, and at the same time it feels inexplicable. Someone asked him: "What you said is all sensual and we don't understand it. Can you explain it to us?"
The commissioner said: "You will know when the time comes. Tonight, everyone sleeps in the mines, and no one should go out. Carry weapons with you and load bullets. Even when going to the toilet, you must have at least two people in a group, and never separate them."
His last words were very serious.
Over the past few days, strange events have made everyone feel uneasy. Tonight, they have to sleep in this cold and wet cave, and there are still these bones and boxes next to them. Everyone is really awkward, but the special commissioner dares not ignore them. In order to calm people's hearts, the leaders of the excavation department and the garrison troops came to send extra close contact to everyone and added midnight snacks to everyone, so everyone's mood was a little calmer.
In the middle of the night, the special commissioner reminded the leaders of the garrison troops: "Check a few people tonight and guard the box. If the shadow in the box moves, add water to it. In addition, heavy weapons should be added to the entrance of the cave, and it is best to even the chariots are on standby at any time. Maybe something will happen to the evening."
The leader of the garrison asked: "It's okay to add water. If you add heavy weapons, I'm afraid that people in the mine will get upset again if they see it."
The commissioner thought for a while and said, "Just hide outside the cave and ambush, don't let the people inside see it."
After listening to the instructions of the special envoy, everyone returned to their respective departments and arranged personnel.
In the middle of the night that day, the mine was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of water dripping on the top of the cave could be heard.
Despite being so quiet, no one can fall asleep - of course, the atmosphere is so tense, who can still sleep?
Especially the people assigned to the box were even more excited. There was a water tank next to each of these people, and a stove was also used to heat the water tank. The flashes of fire in the stove fluttered with the night wind, as if the eyes of monsters were flashing, making people feel even more uneasy.
It was already twelve o'clock, and everyone still couldn't fall asleep. The commissioner was very calm and took out the chessboard and started playing chess with an old miner.
At around one o'clock in the morning, the commissioner put away the chessboard and, together with the old miner, fell asleep against the hole wall.
Seeing that he was so calm, everyone felt a little relieved.
Sleepiness came and people fell asleep one after another.
During this night, I could hear someone crying outside, but the cold wind was blowing tightly at this time. Everyone thought it was the sound of the wind, so they didn't go out to check it out.
The next day, the commissioner and the two leaders went out to inspect, and the garrison troops guarding outside stood on duty overnight. The commissioner asked them if they had seen anything abnormal, but everyone said that they did not, but they seemed to hear someone crying at night.
The special commissioner came to a chariot and looked behind the body, and his face changed.
I saw a black handprint printed behind the chariot, which looked like a human handprint, but it was many times larger than the human hand.
The special commissioner asked someone to move the chariot away to prevent more people from seeing the handprints, but after starting for a long time, the chariot could not move. The driver lay on the ground and saw that the wheels of the chariot were frozen firmly on the ground. This was a strange thing. There were more than one chariot guarding outside, and only this one was frozen on the wheels.
A dark cloud was covered with the special commissioner's face. He ran back to the hole and said to everyone: "Don't rest, hurry up and start working. We only have one day. If we can't finish it before sunset today, everyone will leave the mine and the entrance of the hole will be smashed and blocked with explosives."
The two leaders were stunned when they heard this. Why did Chang'an not ask for instructions and directly issue such a strange order? If the things cannot be made out, would he give up after digging so many days of mine?
The commissioner personally took a pickaxe and said to them: "Don't stand there! We only have eight hours left!"
It was a sunny day, and the sun was hanging lazily in the sky. If it were usual, everyone would definitely run out to bask in the sun, but now everyone is not in the mood to bask in the sun, so they all run into the mine cave to start digging boxes.
The special commissioner took the lead in digging for a while, suddenly shouted to stop. Then he took out a ruler and carefully inserted the ruler into the ground in front of the box.
"Strange, this box seems to be rising by itself!"
Everyone could see clearly that the box seemed to have suddenly risen a small part. It was about ten centimeters. The part dug out yesterday had been wiped clean by the miners, and the box that was obviously rising was covered with gravel and sludge.
At this time, the water surface in the box also began to shake, and everyone suddenly felt uneasy.
