Chapter 15: Strange Stone Cave

Nie Mao smiled bitterly, "Forget it, things have come to this, since I promised you guys, I'm not afraid to take this risk." After a pause he added, "What exactly am I going to do?" "When the time comes, Renya's big brother will tell you, in fact, I'm just a doctor, there are a lot of things I'm not very clear about." Nie Mo really don't know if he's telling the truth, Ren Ya but said she'll tell him tomorrow, now how to become her big brother, there are some doubts in his heart, but right now for Nie Mo the most important thing is to rest and recuperate the body, so that the chances of survival will be greater. "Have something to say?" Nie Mao asked when he saw Dr. Chen's hesitant appearance. "Hehe, Nie Mordor ah, your body was born this way to have a gifted body, or has something happened." Nie Mo's heart was shocked, in fact, he should have thought that the other party would have such a question, he also didn't move and laughed, "I don't know anymore, this body was given by my parents, hey it's a pity that I don't know who they are either, otherwise I'd love to ask." Although he felt that Dr. Chen was a good person, he had no intention of telling the other party about him. Dr. Chen laughed dryly and said, "I'm just asking casually, hey, I'm really envious, if only I had a body like this." Nie Mo didn't feel that the other party was just casually asking, he knew that Dr. Chen must have noticed his weirdness, in fact, this could have been seen as him being curious, but Nie Mo vaguely felt that there was something wrong. Maybe it was just that he was too overly anxious himself, Nie Mo thought so. "What time is it now, Dr. Chen?" Nie Mo asked. "En," Dr. Chen looked at his watch and said, "Eight o'clock at night, do you want to rest." Nie Mo laughed, "It's still early, I'm just worried about my friend, after such a long time I don't know, that person found her or not." Saying this he thought of Mo Zi Ning and asked, "Dr. Chen, have you seen a man and a woman in this mountain?" "Asking me is the same as asking in vain, I basically don't leave here, you can ask Renya tomorrow." Nie Mo nodded thinking that now Renya should sue him if she knew, it was still early. So he said to Dr. Chen, "Can you ask Renya to come here now, she shouldn't be resting so early." "You can ask her now" said Dr. Chen. Seeing Nie Mu nodded, he didn't say anything and walked out of the tent. Dr. Chen went for a long time and didn't see Renya come, there was a mocking sound coming from outside, Nie Mo couldn't hear it clearly due to the waterfall's louder water, he stood up and decided to go see what was going on, after a day's rest, for him to be able to walk, but to be as lively as he used to be, he still needed to rest a lot more. NieMo lifted the tent to look outside, under the night there are a few people with torches, barely illuminated a side of the place, but the light is still very dark, just saw a lot of people standing outside, he did not expect that there are how many people here, and these people's attire is the same as the one he saw RenYa before, look at them as if they want to go somewhere, thinking that they are dressed like this, may be in the mountains to play the effect of concealment. There was no moonlight tonight, Nie Mao walked out, the grass was still a little wet, a coolness came over him, he pulled the clothes Dr. Chen gave him tighter. He was about to walk up and take a look when Dr. Chen's voice came from behind "Why did you come out, you still need to rest more now." "What's going on." Nie Mao asked as he pointed at the people who were still some distance away from him. "It seems like someone has discovered Professor Mo's trail, and they're preparing to go looking for it by night." "What Professor Mo?" It was then that Nie Mo remembered that Renya's big brother had also asked. And could this Professor Mo be related to Mo Zi Ning, from some of the signs it seemed like it was a possibility, so he asked, "Isn't he a geologist with a daughter named Mo Zi Ning." "You know him?" Dr. Chen was a bit surprised and added, "He does have a daughter with that name, I just haven't seen her." Nie Mo could not hide the excitement in his heart, if he found Professor Mo would he be able to find Mo Zi Ning as well? But it is clear that the two do not seem to have a direct relationship, on second thought, even if you can not find Mo Zi Ning can find her father is also good, but now I do not know how Mo Zi Ning. He said to Dr. Chen, "You go tell Renya, I'll go with her." "No way." Dr. Chen shook his head and said, "You can only walk, not only will going with them in this condition right now not help much, it might even drag them down." Nie Mo thought for a while, feeling helpless, said, "En, I understand your concern, you're a doctor, you understand my injuries, you're right right right now I can't help them yet." Just then he saw Renya walk into the crowd with two people, knowing that they were about to set off, he glanced at Dr. Chen who was standing aside and asked, "Where did they find Professor Mo's trail." "On this mountain, there is another group of people, mercenaries you know." "Are you saying that Professor Mo was captured by them." "That's not certain, the person who came back to report is not sure. You'd better go back and rest, we'll know the situation tomorrow." Just at this time the sky was drizzling, Renya with a group of people gradually disappeared from Nie Mo's sight, this empty grass all of a sudden a lot of darkness, but also quiet, his heart always has a kind of ominous foreboding, they go this time, do not know if they can still come back. This night, Nie Mo lying in the tent basically did not sleep much, only to later too sleepy just barely slept for two bells, as soon as the day dawned, he got up and went outside, today's body obviously feel better than yesterday again, his body's ability to recover also surprised him, only after a night, but actually feel like a world of difference with yesterday again. Last night's rain was still falling even now, there was nothing on the grass except for those ten or so tents, everything looked foggy. His eyes, fell on the big cave entrance in the distance, from the entrance of the cave came a person, from a distance he knew that it was Dr. Chen, and he didn't know what he was holding in his hand. Nie Mo turned around and entered the tent, it didn't take long for Dr. Chen to walk in, seeing that he was dripping wet he knew that Nie Mo should have been outside, putting down what he was holding, he took another piece of cloth and threw it to Nie Mo, saying "Dry off first, I'll help you change the medicine, and later on I'll make breakfast for you." Saying that, he pounded up the things he brought and asked again, "How are you feeling today." "Much better, any news?" Last night Renya had brought someone to Professor Mo, and that was what he was most concerned about. Dr. Chen shook his head a bit, his face appeared worried, saying, "From the time they left, it's almost almost twelve hours now, when it was almost dawn, Renya's big brother called two to go and look on the way back, and there was no sign of them, ai, I don't know how they are doing." Nie Mo's face is also ugly up, not long after Dr. Chen for Nie Mo to change the medicine, before removing the cloth on his body, Dr. Chen reveals a very surprised expression "your injury, well too fast, faster than I imagined, it seems to be less than two days will be able to fully recover." Nie Mao acted as if he didn't hear Dr. Chen's words, he just said, "Wait, you take me to see Renya's big brother." Dr. Chen nodded and said, "Actually, if you don't say anything, I'll take you there today as well." After breakfast, Dr. Chen led Nie Mu into the mouth of that huge cave, and he could clearly hear the sound of the two's footsteps echoing in the cave. The light was dim for the first few dozen meters as they walked in, but the further in they went, the brighter it got, with torches hanging around the stone walls. When Nie Mou got a good look inside, he was a little surprised, under his feet was a step at a forty-five degree angle, the length of the step was about ten meters, below was also a cave, but it was obvious that this place had been artificially groomed, compared to the entrance of the cave that he had just walked through, this place wasn't that big, but the roof of the cave was very high, and strangely enough, this place looked like a sealed cave, with not much of any other cave entrance. As if he could see Nie Mu's confusion, Dr. Chen smiled and told him to just follow, so he followed Dr. Chen down, and when he got to the middle of the cave, Dr. Chen stopped and told Nie Mu to stand with him. A short while later, Nie Mu heard the sound of gears rolling, and a large iron barrel slowly fell from above his head, surrounded by four thick chains, Dr. Chen pulled on the edge of the barrel, and a piece of iron was pulled open, as if a door had opened. Nie Mu followed Dr. Chen into the barrel, which slowly began to rise. As Nie Mo watched them get more and more distant from the ground, he raised his head again and looked overhead again and asked, "There's a hole up here too?" "Yes," Dr. Chen laughed, "There are more holes up there, and it's also the safest place, if we don't put down this iron barrel, no one will be able to get up there." "How did you find this place?" "I should say it wasn't us who discovered it, it was that Professor Mo." Nie Mo was startled and said, "He's been here, if so why are you guys looking for him everywhere again." "He hasn't been here, but this is the place he told Renya's big brother about, heh, I'm actually not really sure." It seemed that they had an unusual relationship with Mo Zi Ning's father, so what exactly was their relationship and what were they doing here? Nie Mo suddenly asked, "I still don't know what Renya's big brother's name is?" "Leng Renfeng, Renya she didn't tell you?" "No," it turns out that Renya's surname is Leng, just as NieMo was deep in thought, the iron barrel stopped and landed on a boulder, it was then that NieMo saw that there were a couple of very strong people pulling the chain, it turns out that it was manpower, NieMo thought at first that there was a machine up here. But think about it there is no such possibility, when they walked out from the iron barrel, Dr. Chen looked at Nie Mou and laughed: "Do you think, we can put a machine on this, huh." Nie Mao looked at this ground alignment, the path below this boulder they were standing on was sloping downwards and was relatively narrow, then laughed, "Of course not, there's no way to put a large machine here except for people." "En, let's go, he's waiting for you," said Dr. Chen and carefully walked down, Nie Mu followed closely behind. After walking down this slope, there was a narrow rock crevice, only big enough for one person to walk across, and let him think of the previous hole he had entered on Nine Snakes Mountain, which was also like this. After walking about a few dozen meters, Nie Mo saw that the front opened up, and several cave entrances appeared, but how to look at these caves all look like they have been chiseled by people, the stone walls don't look like they were naturally formed, they shouldn't have been here for a long time, it's very likely that someone has lived here before. At this time, he could vaguely hear the sound of water and asked, "Where is the water flowing." Dr. Chen said as he walked, "It's water from another hole, that's where we drink from, after we pass that hole in front of us, we're there." Nie Mu looked at the cave he walked through and was amazed, this place was just like a big house that we modern people live in, only the difference was that this place was made up of small caves, not just a house. The sound of water flowing started to get clearer, it should be in the cave to their right. Dr. Chen led him to the left and after walking through several more caves he said, "It's here in front."
