Zhong Yuemin stood up and used a torch to check the surroundings.

"How can there be such a deep cave here? It doesn't look like it was formed naturally, but rather dug by someone. Look, the soil around the edge of the cave entrance is still relatively fresh."

"Excavated?" Ermao asked.

"You're digging holes in this deep forest? You're crazy, you have nothing better to do."

Qin Han said:

"This must be a hole dug by tomb robbers. I've seen something similar before."

"Tomb robbers? Oh my god, isn't there some emperor or general's tomb down here?"

"Don't worry about whether there are any graves down there. Zheng Tong and Ning Qun have most likely fallen into this cave. Ermao, take off your rope, tie one end to a tree, and lower the other end down to see how deep it is."

"Hey, good!"

Ermao stood up and took down the rope hanging across his chest, and walked towards a big tree that was so thick that two people could hug it. Just after taking two steps, an accident happened. He said while walking, "Yuemin, I'll go first..." Suddenly, he stepped on empty air and disappeared in an instant. "Ah!" It turned out that there was a thief's hole on the other side.

Xiao Ningwei reacted quickly enough, "Brother Ermao!" He flew over and dived into the tunnel to grab Ermao who had fallen. However, the inner wall of the tunnel was too slippery and there was no grip, so they both slid down together. Zhong Yuemin hurried to grab the feet of Xiao Ningwei who was sliding down quickly, but he was also dragged down. Cao Gang also came to pull him, and finally it was Qin Han's turn. It was like they were playing tug-of-war with the tunnel. Finally, several people were dragged into the cave one after another. Qin Han only had one right hand left outside, with no grip, and he was about to collapse.

Zhong Yuemin yelled from below, "Qin Han, let go, let go quickly, go get help!"

Qin Han did not delay. Now was not the time to talk about life and death. He stayed up there to report the news. This would increase the possibility of everyone being rescued. He then let go of his hand and climbed up the tunnel with difficulty. He gasped for breath and lay at the entrance of the tunnel, shouting into the cave.

"Director Zhong, Director Zhong..." There was no response. Qin Han got up from the ground, marked the place, and hurried back to call for help.

In the tunnel below, Zhong Yuemin and his companions were still sliding down, just like they were getting into a car.

“Ah, ah… bang!”

Finally they landed on the ground. They were all in a mess, grimacing in pain. They didn't know where they were. The voices of Zheng Tong and Luo Jianguo came to their ears. This time it was not the crying of a female ghost, but very clear.

"Yuemin, Ermao..." There was a light ahead, getting closer and closer. It was Zheng Tong and Luo Jianguo. They looked like they had seen their relatives.

"Yuemin, Ermao, Cao Gang, and Xiao Ningwei, you guys are so loyal. You came down the cave to rescue us. My mother is about to cry."

"Enough, it's already this late, and you're still talking nonsense." Zhong Yuemin got up from the ground and wiped the dust off his face.

"We're not that loyal. It was Ermao who slipped and fell into the hole just like you two did. We each pulled him out, and now we've lost everything."

Ermao Road:

"Zheng Tong, Jianguo, what are you two doing down there screaming and howling like ghosts? You're scaring me to death."

"There's something wrong with the cave entrance. When we shouted for help from below, the sound got distorted and became high-pitched and trembling. You can try it yourself."

Ermao immediately shouted towards the cave entrance, and it really sounded like a female ghost crying.

"Oh my god...what the hell is this? It's so scary."

Zhong Yuemin looked around. There was a whole new world beneath the tunnel. He pointed to the dark road ahead and asked, "What's in there? Have you two checked it out?"

Luo Jianguo shook his head.

"Yuemin, I'm not lying. Zheng Tong and I just fell down from a cave. It was pitch black and there were dead bodies over there. I almost peed myself. My heart is still pounding. How could I dare to go in again?"

"Dead people? Where are they?"

"Just ahead, the bones are exposed. I'll take you to see it."

When a few people went over, they found a female corpse lying at the bottom of another robbery hole, and the corpse of a sheep beside it.

"I understand," Zhong Yuemin said:

"Before, the villagers said there were ghosts in the back mountain. A shepherd was grazing his sheep and they disappeared inexplicably. Two women came to chop wood and disappeared afterwards. In broad daylight, there was a female ghost crying. She must have fallen into this tunnel and was shouting for help. The woman must have been injured when she fell and couldn't move. After a long time, she starved to death."

"So that's how it is. That makes sense. Hey, Yuemin, you just said this was a robber's hole?"

"Yes, that's for sure. These thieves must have discovered a tomb underneath, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths."

"Damn it, these treacherous bastards, now we're all screwed."

"Don't worry, sit down and rest for a while. Qin Han ran out to call for help. When the ropes come down, we can pull them up one by one."

The few people here waited for a while, and there was movement above, as if someone was calling them, and they hurriedly responded. Just when everyone was relieved, bad luck happened again. I don’t know if this cave is not solid, or if the shouting has created resonance, there are more and more broken mud and rocks falling from above. When Zhong Yuemin saw this scene, he felt something was wrong and shouted,

"Run, run inside, the tunnel is about to collapse, run..."

Everyone rushed to escape and hide inside. As soon as they left, there was a "boom, boom" behind them. Dust flew up and mud and rocks poured down, completely covering up the two robber holes.

Seeing this, everyone was almost in despair, their faces turned pale, Zheng Tong murmured,

"It's over, it's over, all of us brothers have to die here. I haven't even gotten married yet, I've never tasted a woman, and you let a virgin die in such a tragic way. God, you are too cruel.

Yuemin, I've ruined you too. Your girlfriends Zhou Xiaobai, Qin Ling, and Widow Li are all destined for other men..."

"piss off!"

Zhong Yuemin was not happy.

"I don't want to die young, not really. Have you noticed? Since this hole was dug by tomb robbers, I think they may have left through another exit. Several sheep were lost before, and there were two women. There was only one sheep and one woman at the scene, which means one of the women and several sheep went inside. Let's go in and take a look. This is the only way now."

Zhong Yuemin walked in front with a torch, followed by Zheng Tong, Luo Jianguo and others. After passing a narrow and dark passage, a robber's hole appeared below them, which looked more like a dog hole. He squatted down and shone the torch inside. Seeing nothing unusual, he went through and was followed by others.

On the other side of the tunnel, it suddenly became clear, like entering a room. The ground and the surrounding walls were made of large stone bricks. They were very smooth, soft, and cold to the touch, making people unable to let go. Apart from these, the whole place was empty, without any items.

Luo Jianguo said, "Yuemin, where did that woman, the sheep, and those grave-robbing bastards go? There's not even a trace of them."
