8 Mysterious Tunnels
At the beginning of the book, I mentioned the mysterious tunnel in the village, and since it is so mysterious, my friends and I naturally refuse to give up the opportunity to explore. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If it hadn't been for the village elders who took the initiative to tell us, how would we have known that there was another tunnel in the village? Normally invisible, the beginning of the tunnel was just above the road, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see any flaws. Of course, if we can see it at a glance, wouldn't we underestimate the wisdom of our ancestors? It is said that the tunnel was dug by the ancestors to prevent bandits and warlords from sweeping away, and some say that it was dug to prevent the Japanese from entering the village.
Outside the tunnel is a low earthen wall, which now looks half-collapsed due to its age. A lot of weeds grew on the outside of the earthen wall, hiding it inside, and in the distance it looked like a mess of weeds.
I don't have a lot of bad ideas among my partners, usually it is proposed by others, I take the lead in implementation, and I am a natural executor. After one of the old men told us about the mysterious tunnel, the listener was intrigued by a hundred thousand intrigues, and he probably stayed up all night imagining what it would be like inside the tunnel. I can't remember who instigated a group of us to go on an expedition, maybe we all had a good idea, and as soon as one person's eyes moved, we immediately acted. But if you want to go on an adventure, you must hide it from adults.
It was a hot summer day, the sun was very strong, and our skin was very dark from ultraviolet rays, and we looked like little dolls on the African continent. There was a hint of naughtiness written on everyone's face, and we prepared torches and straw in advance, and the torches were made out of thin air, at least we could. The straw had been stolen from a partner's haystack, and though I had not come up with the idea, I was more daring, and they all followed me, with light steps, for fear of disturbing the soul resting in the tunnel.
I suddenly pretended to be scared, and they all screamed in fright, with their mouths wide open. I looked at them with terrifying eyes and smiled extremely sinisterly.
I used my hands to pick up the weeds outside the earthen wall, and walked into the weeds step by step.
Damn!
I was naturally afraid of snakes, and I was so frightened that I quickly retreated. Fortunately, the snake did not seem to have malicious intent, it just walked away silently, and I watched with frightened eyes as the snake moved, and one of its companions was already shouting to go home, ready to give up walking with us. I hated the person who released the water in the middle of the way, and told him to leave quickly, but the partner still didn't leave, and he was worried that he would miss an opportunity to learn a long time.
The snake was like the guardian of the tunnel, and I don't know how many years it crawled there before waiting for us. When the snake was gone, I held back my fear and continued to drive on. I took the torch in my left hand, and one of my partners used the fire to light one by one, but his hand was obviously shaking and couldn't hit it, and one partner next to me impatiently grabbed the fire and lit it at once.
The torches began to burn, giving off a strong smell of kerosene. There must have been a lot of kerosene poured on it, and the kerosene was saved by my mother to light the kerosene lamp, and my brother and I poured half a pot on the torches at once. I felt like a bandit leader, tiptoeing towards the mouth of the tunnel. The torches lit up the tunnel, and we finally stepped inside.
Wow!
The tunnel is very flat and there is a lot of space inside. With an adventurous nature, I began to look slowly at the mouth of the tunnel to see if I could find any historical relics.
Oh my God! There's a pile of bones on the ground. We started to panic, at first we thought it was human bones, but I recognized it as sheep bones from the skull. Everyone quieted down, which means that before the ancestors evacuated, they actually ate mutton. The entrance of the tunnel is very military, and as soon as you enter, there are two bunkers on both sides of the cave, which can stand about three adults. There was also a rusty horse gun inside! These two bunkers were supposed to be used for defense, or to guard the entrance to the cave. If anyone comes in, they will be attacked from both sides, and he will be killed. Looking further back, there was an earthen stove, and the pot on it was missing, but a spoon was still on the stove, and it was rusty. We took the spoon one by one to visit, and a vivid picture appeared in our minds, two men squatting on the ground, Ma Jiagun standing next to him, joking while eating. Hearty laughter came from the cave!
But the strange thing is, how can this tunnel be as big as a room?
One of our partners was surprised and pointed around the corner, and we ran over to see that there was a small opening on it, just big enough for an adult to get in. I climbed up to that opening with the help of my buddies, and it was pitch black. I asked my partner to hand me the flashlight, and I followed the light of the flashlight, and the space inside became larger again, but not as big as before, and the cave was winding and bottomless. Due to the rainwater, the inside of the cave was extremely uneven, and there was a large pit under the small opening, which must have been washed open by the water. Seeing the tunnel stretching all the way forward, I felt a little panic in my heart. If this divine beast suddenly ran out of it and had a strange face, wouldn't I have become a delicious meal for the divine beast?
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to move forward. I also learned in elementary school nature class, and there is a possibility of oxygen deficiency in it. My friends have long had the idea of evacuating quickly, and I can't be firm about it! As I walked outside, I wondered what had happened to make my ancestors dig such a wise tunnel with such diligence!
It is said that the other end of the tunnel is on the other side of the mountain, and I am convinced. For there was indeed a large entrance on the other side of the mountain, but no one had ever entered it, and now it was covered by weeds, and nothing could be seen. Now the farmer has led the water from the field down to the front of the tunnel, and there is the big pit I saw!
As I grew up, I started to have huge associations.
One day, a group of men rode towards our village on galloping horses, all of them bearded with short guns and broadswords. When an ancestor saw it when he was setting up a sentry on the mountain, he took a spear and fired it into the sky to report to the villagers. The villagers immediately retreated into the tunnel, and the whole village became an empty shelf. The group of big men who didn't know what they were doing were angry and vowed to find out the people in the village.
Later, they found the tunnel, so they attacked the tunnel, and the village militia had a fierce struggle with the group of people, and the boss of the group watched his men fall one by one at the entrance of the cave, and could only helplessly wipe his tears, and rode a horse alone, wailing and urging the horse away......
