in, a mole was eating an apple.I gave a wry smile and said, "It's nothing. The wind was too strong, it must have blinded me."“ ”A mole, cradling an apple in one hand, looked at me suspiciously and let...It is rumored that formidable old diviners could “listen to the wind and listen to things.” To achieve this, one needs rigorous training throughout their lifetime.

There was complete silence all around.

"

Boom! Thunder roared.

"

"No, not enough, I beg the heavens for a few more rolls," I squatted in the basin and carefully listened to the echoes of thunder from below, praying that there would be a few more claps.

"Boom boom boom!"

An researchers might not feel anything about it up there, but my ears twitched and the corners of my mouth curled into a smile.

Look, I've opened my eyes! Hong Jie looked at me expectantly and asked how I was.

Emerging from the water tank, I strained to recall the direction of the thunder. I bent down and used a small stick in the ground to make a triangle, the apex pointing southwest at a forty-five degree angle.

I looked at the triangle I had made with twigs and pointed to a spot. "The echo from that direction is different," I said. "It's very likely leading to the surface."

"""

Hongjie nodded and said, "This way we have a general idea, not like headless flies bumping around." She turned to look at Researcher An and asked, "Well, you've figured out the way, are you two going to walk on your own or with us But let me say in advance, Yunfeng and I still need to find someone to rescue people."

">

An researcher fell into deep thought, while Li Zheng quickly made a decision.

“My friend Xiao An and I still need to go back and find Lao Xu. Since we know the general direction, we won't be going with you guys. Let me say something lucky - if we both come out safely, please come visit Hong Kong in the future. You can find me at unit 36 of Times Square in Causeway Bay."

">

Just like that, after a few polite exchanges, Li Zheng gave me and Hongjie each a flashlight for illumination, and then the four of us parted ways here.

They two are going back to find their companion Lao Xu, and Red Sister and I also want to go find Big Brother and the others.

I sighed inwardly, hoping that both sides could live to see another day.

......

"Hong Jie, are you sure this is the place Why is there no one guarding it Big Brother and the others were locked up here by that old man's group," I asked, looking around.

There was a round stone slab on the ground. Moving it revealed a ladder, as if someone had climbed down it before. What was strange was that there were no guards around, not a single figure in sight. It felt completely unguarded. It didn't look like a secret hideout at all; you could even say it was more like a big mouse hole.

"Yes, right here. I remember when we split up with the boss earlier, they stopped right here."

"Hong Jie seems very confident in her memory."

I said, "Alright then. Since no one's around, let's go take a look." I bit on my flashlight and climbed down the ladder first. Hong Jie followed right behind me.

After climbing down, I shone my flashlight upwards. The ladder was about seven or eight meters high. The rocks on the walls of the pit didn't look newly excavated; the exposed edges were mostly smoothed by weathering.

I asked Hong Jie which way to go, and after looking, she confidently pointed to the left and said to go that way.

Seeing her so confident and unwavering, I was a little surprised. So I asked, "Red Sister, how did you know Did you come here before"

She shook her head. "No, I'm just guessing. Anyway, I have to choose a direction. This is what women call intuition. Sometimes it's really accurate."

">

I thought to myself, "Well, okay. About this so-called sixth sense of yours, women... is it accurate or not"
