Chapter 848 The Cave of the King of Hell

Wu Jun covered his nose with his hand: "Old Liu, can you stop shaking that broken fan?! There is ashes everywhere. If we stay here for a few days, we will all get pneumoconiosis if we go out!"

Upon hearing this, President Liu closed his fan with a "pop" sound and said with a smile: "Sorry!"

This fan closes.

The gray is getting bigger.

It made everyone cough several times.

Lao Feng's language skills were not very good, and he seemed to be a little afraid of us, so he talked about the situation intermittently.

It took me a lot of effort to fully understand it.

One evening not long ago, a group of strangers suddenly came to Heyuan Lime Factory, about thirty people, and they went directly to the boss.The boss told the workers that they were a group of foreign businessmen who came to inspect the lime factory.

the next day.

These people are missing.

The workers all thought that these people left after discussing business with the boss in the evening.

Everyone didn't take it seriously.

Lao Feng didn't take it seriously at first.

But more than ten days passed.

Lao Feng discovered an extremely strange thing.

Workers in lime plants are divided into three categories: furnace workers, transport workers, and stone chip workers.

The masonry workers are mainly responsible for removing the limestone from the mountain and using large hammers to pound it into small pieces of stone, which can be easily calcined into lime.This is a relatively dirty and tiring job, but the wages are relatively high among lime plants.

There are also subdivisions among stone workers, one of which is blasting.

Because the rocks grow on the top of the hill, a small hole must be dug out first. The detonator explosive pack will blast the large rocks off the top of the hill. Only then can the stone cutters use sledgehammers to knock them down.Demolition workers are not only dirty and tiring, but also dangerous. They have the highest wages among lime factory workers.

Lao Feng did this job because his family was relatively poor.

To do this job, you need to select good blasting points on the stone mountain all day long.

Because the explosive packs and detonators are limited, choosing a good blasting point can save a lot of cost in exploding rocks.

That day.

When Lao Feng was choosing a spot high up on Stone Mountain, he saw someone living in a cave on the back side of the mountain!

This cave is known to the locals.

In the early 70s, the township organized people to use the original natural caves to deepen and widen them as air raid shelters and grain storage. The caves were hundreds of meters deep.

Due to improper construction, people were killed inside, and the hole was never used and remained abandoned. In the 90s, some young people wearing bell-bottom pants would come all the way from the city to play, but everyone who went in to play disappeared, with no one alive or dead.

Only a young man ran out.

After the young man came out, he was frightened and went crazy. He claimed that he had seen ghosts inside and complained that all his companions had been taken away.

The locals call this cave "King of Hell Cave".

Based on security considerations.

Since the mid-90s, signs have been erected outside the cave prohibiting exploration and play, and the path into the cave has been deliberately blocked.

No one dared to go in after that.

And the people Old Feng saw when he looked down from the top of the mountain seemed to be the same group of people who came to discuss business with the boss that day!

He was very surprised, but he didn't know what these people were doing and was too scared to say anything.

But everyone is curious. Every day when Lao Feng visited the high mountains, he would look down from the top of the mountain to see the people in the King of Hell Cave on the back side. He found that their lives were very normal and they never went out. But it seems that there are people providing food, drink and diarrhea.

Lao Feng also discovered that since that time, the boss would drive out in a small four-wheeler transporting lime every weekend, and then come back quietly at night when the workers fell asleep.

One time he was on duty at night and when he got up to urinate, he saw the boss's four-wheeler coming back. The boss was not there and had gone to the office to get things. He saw that there seemed to be vegetables and daily necessities under the tarpaulin of the truck bed.

When I got up the next day, although the small four-wheeled vehicle was still far away, everything under the carriage was gone.

Old Feng understood immediately.

Vegetables and daily necessities were not supplied to the lime factory.

no doubt.

In fact, everything the people eat and drink in the King of Hell Cave is provided by the boss who goes out every weekend to buy supplies!

After Lao Feng finished speaking.

I asked: "No more?"

Lao Feng replied: "No... no more." I asked again: "You are the only one in the whole factory who knows about this?"

Lao Feng said: "I am the only demolition worker. I am the only one who climbs the mountain every day. They don't know..."

I turned around and asked Chairman Liu: "There are so many workers in the factory, how do you know that Lao Feng knows about this?"

President Liu heard this and opened the fan. He wanted to fan it again, but maybe he remembered that the dust was too big, so he refrained from fanning it and explained to me.

"After He quietly entered the lime factory in the early morning, he disappeared completely. A few of us surveyed the location and surrounding environment of the lime factory, secretly climbed the stone mountain, and circled the scope of the lime factory from a high place down. After we finished these tasks , when he was about to quietly go down the mountain, he found Lao Feng lying alone on a high place in Stone Mountain, concentrating on looking down the back of the mountain."

"We sneaked over, followed where his eyes were looking, and found that there was someone in the King of Hell Cave below! At that time, we invited Lao Feng down, asked him about the relevant situation, and got in touch with him!"

When Old Feng heard this, his expression was very unnatural, and he touched his arm inadvertently.

I saw bruises on his arms.

Obviously.

What President Liu said about "asking for advice" about the situation is true.

But the way can be very rude.

Poor old Feng!

I asked President Liu again: "So what do you think?"

President Liu replied: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle!"

"Lao Feng is a local and a lime factory worker. We want Lao Feng to help us and spend a few days to find out the situation of the people in the King of Hell Cave, the nearby entrances and exits, the food and beverage facilities, the situation of the owner of the lime factory, etc. , he has already agreed."

I asked: "Have you given the money to anyone?"

President Liu was about to answer.

Lao Feng hurriedly replied proactively: "Give it."

I asked, "How much?"

Old Feng swallowed and carefully gestured with the word "two".

20 million.

For Lao Feng, this is definitely an astronomical figure.

No wonder it was worth the risk.

My expression suddenly changed, and I suddenly asked Lao Feng in a cold voice: "What if you take the money and run away?!"

When Lao Feng heard this, his face turned pale with fright. He knelt down with a bang and said with a cry: "Boss, I don't dare to gamble with my wife's life..."

Seeing this, Mr. Cui nodded: "Okay, Old Feng, it's getting late, let's go to your house!"

Until Lao Feng took us to his house in the dark.

Only then did I know what Lao Feng meant when he said, "I don't dare to gamble with my wife's life..."

Lao Feng's house is a two-story dilapidated wooden building.

His wife was seriously ill and lying on the bed, her face was sallow, she could not move, she was dying, and there was a strong smell of medicine in the room.

It seems that in addition to giving money to Lao Feng, Mr. Cui and others must have sternly warned Lao Feng that if he dared to do something wrong, his wife would be in trouble in bed this time.

Carrots and sticks.

Lao Feng had to submit.

The Tian family is truly a talented person!
Dinner was corn mush.

After eating.

Lao Feng was cleaning up the dishes downstairs.

We went upstairs because we wanted to discuss our next plan.

Go upstairs.

President Liu, Wu Jun, and He Mancang began to discuss the rescue plan.

Lu Cenyin took out a piece of paper and pen and wrote a line on it.

"Old Feng has a problem!"

I nodded and turned to look at Mr. Cui.

Mr. Cui glanced at the words, his eyes showed approval, and said to me: "Mr. Su, let them discuss it first. Let's go out and smoke a cigarette to get some fresh air."
