Chapter 70 Help

Brother Qi was dizzy and his ears were ringing, and pain covered every inch of his body. He tried to open his eyes, but he only saw spots of light.Breathe in, breathe out, he said to himself; live, he said to himself.Helpless, I can't move a finger on my body, no different from a dead body.

After a while, the tinnitus got better, the headache didn't hurt so much, and he could think a little bit.

It would be better not to think!As soon as he turned his head, he realized that Uncle Hai had already left, Mengsi and the idiot were dead, and he was lying at the bottom of the cave with half his life, unable to move, no one knew, and he was about to die slowly.He yelled, his voice was weak and hoarse, and almost all the air came out of his throat.Don't waste your energy, it's extremely boring here, if you don't control your emotions, you will go crazy like Uncle Hai.

footsteps.

Brother Qi thought it was a hallucination at first, but after a while, he heard his name.A sound echoed in the cave.Brother Qi forgot that he was injured, and subconsciously wanted to sit up, but as soon as he moved, he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.The shout became clearer and clearer, it was the voice of Tianlu, moving east and west, far and near, the anxiety in his tone hit Brother Qi's weak body.

Brother Qi couldn't move, he opened his mouth to call for help, but the voice he yelled was weak and ethereal, and was swallowed up by the cave wall.Chengtianlu's footsteps were already very close, and Brother Qi saw the light of the flashlight sweeping from the entrance of the cave.

I'm here!He shouted at the top of his lungs.No one heard it, not even himself.The sound of footsteps went away and came back again. It was obvious that Lu had been searching for Qi Geer's traces over and over again all day long.Will you see this burrow all day long?Only then did Brother Qi realize that the lights in the cave were all off. For some reason, the mine had no power supply and it was pitch black.

Every time the sound of footsteps approached, Qi Ge'er raised his heart and prayed silently.He had no religious beliefs, and he didn't know who to ask, so he had to pray to the flashlight beam at the entrance of the cave, shine it on, look at me, look at me... The beam approached, left, and then never came again, and the sound of footsteps grew louder and louder. further away.

Brother Qi was in a hurry, thinking that as long as he approached the hole and made a little noise, Cheng Tianlu would definitely notice it, so he exerted his last bit of strength, grabbed the broken arm next to him, and threw it out forcefully.The arm didn't hit the cave wall, and it flew only one meter away before falling on the pile of corpses with a soft "click".

Cheng Tianlu suddenly stopped.There is noise!The sound was very soft, but it was as sharp as a knife in a quiet mine.He turned around and ran to follow the sound, the sound became clearer and clearer, it was a person moaning in pain.

In the hole where you can't see your fingers, the flashlight cut a hole in the darkness and shone on the old man lying on the ground.The old lady was dying, screaming tenaciously, tossing and turning in pain.Shocked all day long, he knelt down in front of the old lady to examine her injuries.Her body was scorching hot, the wound was festering, and the infection was serious, and she might not survive for a while.Cheng Tianlu was about to carry her on his back when the light of the flashlight shone on another person.

He couldn't help shouting.Xu Mengsi was covered in blood, with disheveled hair, like a female ghost, lying motionless beside the old lady.Cheng Tianlu felt her pulse, she was still alive!

Cheng Tianlu immediately picked up the old lady on his back, ran to the entrance of the cave, put her down, and then hugged Xu Mengsi.There was no signal at the bottom of the cave, so he couldn't call for help.Looking at the light at the mouth of the well, he was tangled in his heart.The old lady and Xu Mengsi were covered in blood, and their injuries could not be delayed any longer, but he was unwilling to leave the mine.

Gritting his teeth, he took the flashlight and walked again.Brother Qi!he shouted.The sound lingered in the hole, circled around and came back to his ears, like a thrown ball bouncing back with a hollow echo.There was no one in the hole, his reason told him.

He tied the old lady to his body with a rescue rope, looked at the dark passage again, hesitated for a few seconds, turned around and grabbed the handrail, and climbed up.Even though he is physically strong, climbing the hundreds of iron stairs with an adult on his back exhausted his energy.On the ground, another person went down to rescue Xu Mengsi.Xiao Hu didn't expect that there were people below, the string was stretched again, and the old lady and Xu Mengsi were about to be interrogated on the spot.It's just that both of them were in a coma and couldn't speak a word.Ling Lingjiu looked at Cheng Tianlu nervously.Tianlu was exhausted, shook his head, his voice was lifeless: "I didn't find him, I searched every road, and there was no one else inside."

"It's great that Brother Qi is not in there," Ling Lingjiu said in an optimistic tone, "Let's go back and check, maybe he has already returned to the hotel."

Tianlu has never been so tired before, the moonlight poured down from the sky net indifferently, drawing grids on the ground.There is a net in the sky and a net on the ground.He said, "Okay, let's go back."

Brother Qi was not in the hotel, nor did he seem to be anywhere in the world, and disappeared out of thin air.Sitting on the sofa all day long, half asleep, half awake, waiting for dawn.

He still has a glimmer of hope, maybe Qi Geer left the country by land transportation, and lives in the mountains of Myanmar, with no signal and isolated from the world.This is not the first time that Brother Qi has disappeared. Mr. Sang Nan said that Brother Qi is a person who knows how to protect himself, so he must be safe.

He called Sangnan again, and the answer was the same as before: Wu Sangnan is in another hospital, so he cannot be disturbed.

All day long, I changed my clothes and went to the hospital to visit Uncle Hai.

In the clean and bright private ward, Uncle Hai leaned quietly on the pillow and looked out the window.The light reflected on his eyeballs, as calm as glass, did not move until he felt someone enter the room.

Seeing Cheng Tianlu walking to the bed, Uncle Hai blinked quickly and clasped his hands under the quilt.Sitting by the bed, Cheng Tianlu said with concern: "What did the doctor say? It will take a long time."

"It's nothing serious, the ribs are cracked, and it will be fine after two months."

"Cracked ribs? How?"

"I fell. Is Mengsi awake?"

"No," Cheng Tianlu was upset. Xu Mengsi probably knew about Qi's whereabouts, but she lost too much blood and was still in the ICU. That's normal. What's your relationship with her?"

"Chief editor, are you here to interrogate me or do an interview?"

"No...I'm sorry," Cheng Tianlu was depressed and didn't want to continue to explore, "I'll come to see you, and by the way, I'm going back to Beijing at noon."

Uncle Hai tightened his hands guiltily, "Leave now?"

"Well, Xiao Hu gave an ultimatum that I must leave today. I will be watched for everything I do here, so I can only go back and find a way."

"Brother Qi... No news?"

Cheng Tianlu stood up, forced a smile, "I will find him, you take care of your wounds, and see you later." Just as he was about to leave, the nurse came in, holding a transparent document bag, and said softly, "This is the item in your pocket." , check to see if anything is missing."

Uncle Hai took out his wallet and mobile phone from it, threw them on the bedside table without looking at them, and took out an accessory he had never seen before. "This is not mine." Uncle Hai held up the gold pendant, looked at it, and said to himself, "This thing is worth a lot of money."

Cheng Tianlu looked at the pendant curiously, the round bead was shining golden, and the weight was actually made of real gold. "This seems to be a Buddhist bead. I seem to have seen it somewhere..." Uncle Hai's heart froze, he held the beads tightly in his hand, and said, "Aren't you going?"

Cheng Tianlu looked at Uncle Hai suspiciously, "I'm leaving now, see you in Beijing."

Cheng Tianlu walked out of the hospital, and the two people behind him had followed him for a long time, like his bodyguards.Cheng Tianlu sneered, turned around and said to them, don't follow, tell Mi Hu that I'm leaving now.

He met Zero Zero Nine at the airport, and the two boarded the plane in silence.Before taking off, Ling Lingjiu asked, where is Tong Yiru?Cheng Tianlu didn't care about her, only then did he realize that he should send her a farewell message.Turning on his phone, he saw an email from an economist.While reading all day long, his heart sank all the way—his guess was right, and his last hope was shattered.The weather was extremely clear, the plane flew low under the clouds, and the magnificent scenery was unobstructed.Chengtian Road saw the snow-capped mountains. Under the clear blue sky, the outline of the veins was extremely clear. Where is the "Utopia"?He thought, the snow mountain will not disappear out of thin air, nor will the village, everything is a man-made lie.

Even more absurd than a vanished village is a vanished gold mine.Why did the gold panning project end silently? What can restrain people's desire to get rich?No, nothing at all.The only possible explanation is that there is no such thing as the largest gold mine in Asia. This is a bigger lie than "Bozikou".

Ling Lingjiu saw that Cheng Tianlu's expression was very bad, and asked, "What are you thinking? Let's sleep for a while."

"Ninth brother, the gold mine is fake."

Ling Lingjiu was taken aback: "Ah? Fake?! How is it possible that foreigners traveled thousands of miles here to dig for gold and even built a 'Little Europe'? Could it be a lie?"

"Yes, it's all a lie. You have never been in the abandoned city. It looks like that on the outside, but the inside is just passable, and the decoration and furniture are very simple. The abandoned city is a cover, in order to make the "biggest gold mine" more attractive It looks like a letter. Of course there is gold in the ground, but the scale is far from as large as they said, and it is likely that it has been almost consumed in private mining and digging.

"What the hell are the Europeans doing? Even if it's just a show, those things cost a lot of money. What are they trying to do?"

"To pan for gold, but the gold mines are not here, the gold mines are in America."

"Ah, that's awesome! But what does this mean, I don't understand."

"This prospecting company knew from the beginning that there was not so much gold in the ground, but it played a big show here. They publicized the news of 'Asia's largest gold mine', and the company's stock rose hundreds of times. Through trading in the stock market, shareholders They made a lot of money. It was a complete scam. After harvesting a lot of leeks, they declared the project a failure, and each took the money to return home. The Belgians went back to make glass and became a local big business-this does not mean digging Is it gold?"

"Fuck me! Will the stockholders believe this?"

"With government endorsement."

Ling Lingjiu sighed: "No wonder Xiaohu hid it and erased all traces. I'm afraid people will know that it's not the Minamata disease, but this transnational defrauding trap. Hey, this has been going on for so long, and the bad guys have made a fortune. Bad luck for the civilians, we idiots stepped into the minefield, what a fucking injustice!"

All day long, he was silent.Ling Lingjiu said again: "Now the truth is out, there is nothing wrong with us, I can't go on watching movies anymore, just pretend that we don't know anything, what should we do when we go back."

"It's not over yet, brother Qi is gone, he didn't go to Burma, and it's impossible for him to be with Sangnan."

"what?"

"Sangnan's family also owns shares in that exploration company."

Ling Lingjiu almost jumped up, "That liar company belongs to Sang Nan's family? He already knew what happened back then!"

Cheng Tianlu shook his head: "He doesn't necessarily know, if he knew, he wouldn't associate with us. What kind of person do you think Sang Nan is?"

Ling Lingjiu couldn't answer, he hadn't had much contact with Sang Nan, that man flying around in the sky was a different kind of human being to him, harder to understand than Brother Qi.The lights in the cabin were turned off, and the voice of the person lowered, and Ling Lingjiu's voice was dry: "I don't know. Then where did Brother Qi go..."

The author says:

There were a lot of gold mines in South Africa in the 80s. Many companies didn’t find gold mines at all, or their output was very low. They made a lot of money by boasting in the stock market, which was called a gold bubble.I have seen a report in Guizhou before, but I don't know if it is true or not.The real "gold mines" of modern times are all in the financial industry, things that are created out of nothing.
