The explosion and roar of the shells faded away, and the occasional sound of the tank increasing the throttle was heard, which occasionally stirred the nerves of the three men.

They returned to the bridge, Xiao Yao didn't let them hide in the bridge hole, who knows if a cannonball would accidentally fire and blow up this small but sturdy small bridge?

Not daring to enter the bridge hole, and not daring to stay away from the small bridge, the three of them lay on the grass by the water under the bridge, and fell asleep unconsciously. When they woke up, it was already the middle of the day, and there was peace all around.

"The war is over, Xiao Yao, weren't we dreaming last night, aren't you? Aren't you hungry? Do you still have to go to the village to find food?"

Jin Ming woke up and lay still, shielding his hands from the dazzling sunlight. Xiao Yao was silent, he recalled what he encountered last night, and he hadn't digested it yet.

"You know how to eat, and we don't know if we can get out of it now, so we ran out of the barren mountain and went into the graveyard again. ”

"Why is it so quiet, where are all those tanks last night? Could they all be hidden in these small mountain bags?"

Xiao Yao's speculation frightened Wang Yan and Jin Ming's eyes wide.

"No, so many tanks, if they are all hidden in these small mountain bags, then these small mountain bags, not all of them will have to be emptied. ”

"No matter where these tanks are hidden, we can't go inside anyway. We came in from the east last night and now we have to go back. ”

Xiao Yao stood up, facing the sun, he raised his left hand.

"This side is east, so let's go this way. ”

"Xiao Yao, we can't go back, what if we are caught by the people of that village?"

Jin Ming grabbed Xiao Yao, who was about to set off with his leg raised, his eyes full of worry. Xiao Yao had no choice but to stand down and patiently comforted:

"Jin Ming, don't you want to think about it, even if we are caught by the name of the village, it is better than entering here. I expected that the front was definitely a military forbidden area, and the deeper I went, the tighter it must be, and if I was caught by a spy or a spy by mistake, it would be troublesome. ”

When Xiao Yao said this, he found that Wang Yan's eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking, so he didn't bother to ask, and then said:

"We didn't meet with the villagers last night, there was no conflict, they didn't lose anything, who has so much spare time to worry about this?"

"Xiao Yao, are you sure that there is a military forbidden land in front of me? I really want to break into a military place, even if I am really arrested, it will be over if I explain it clearly. We broke into the military forbidden land, and then went back to brag about it, and it was as exciting as we wanted. We went inside first, and someone stopped us and then ran back. ”

Jin Ming was so angry by Wang Yan's brain hole that he rolled his eyes, and he was about to refute, but he didn't expect Xiao Yao to speak:

"Okay, you explore the way in front and charge into battle, and Jin Ming and I will follow up to watch the enemy formation for you and hold the rear. ”

When Xiao Yao said this, he glanced at Jin Ming, Jin Ming understood, and held back his words and laughter.

"Is this true or false? You won't prop me up into the house, you two draw a ladder, right?"

"Why are you so suspicious? We are brothers in distress, can we do such a lack of virtue? I am not arranging this so that you can go back to brag in the future and have more capital. ”

Jin Ming looked at Xiao Yao's serious nonsense, and his little face, which had been yellowed from hunger for days, was also red. Seeing Jin Ming's form, Wang Yan also understood, and he said hatefully:

"If you don't go, you won't go, why do you say it like the truth? ”

"What I said is true, forget it if you don't go, don't say that Jin Ming and I won't let you go in the future. ”

Wang Yan's criminal law was discarded, and the three of them began to walk back, but before they reached the entrance of the village last night, Xiao Yao saw an old man staggering on the side of the road, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for directions. Under the guidance of the old man, the three of them bypassed the entrance of the village and walked to the southeast.

Because he was chased by the villagers of this village last night. The three of them didn't dare to go to this village to ask for something to eat, and after the old man's guidance, they found the railway to Beijing, but they also missed the city and village, and the three of them didn't drink a sip of water until it was dark.

In the evening, the moon rose as usual, but tonight's moonlight was gradually buried by the thick fog rising in the wilderness, and the three of them could not find a suitable place, and they did not dare to stop. In the middle of the night, the fog became thicker and thicker, and in the end, there was no one even on the other side.

"Xiao Yao, this fog is too big to see the road, it's better to find a place to rest as soon as possible, and wait for dawn before leaving. ”

"I've been looking for a place to rest for a long time, but this is an elevated railway bridge, and there is water underneath, where can I rest? ”

"Woo....... ”

The whistle sounded, and they hurriedly left the railway for a distance, looking at the headlight of the locomotive, which was less than ten meters long, and slid in front of them. If they were a little slower, they would all be run over by the train.

In the thick fog, the three of them cautiously moved forward hand in hand, complaining about the ghost weather, why did it suddenly become such a big fog.

"Who's that? Don't go any further! ”

There was a loud shout in the thick fog, and the man heard them and shouted to stop them.

"It's okay now, I can't see it so late, that person definitely won't stay outside, there must be the same small hall in front of you as that night, don't talk, let's follow the sound and find it, and spend the night in that small hall." ”

Xiao Yao finished his command in a low voice, and said loudly in the direction from which the shouting voice came:

"I was passing through, I got lost in the fog, and I came to you to ask for a question. ”

"Don't come here, I'm not familiar with the road here, you can go back quickly. ”

The other party was very impatient, and there was obvious dissatisfaction with Xiao Yao's approaching in his tone.

"It seems that he doesn't want us to spend the night with him, do we want to go there?"

Jin Ming became worried, and Wang Yan said in an indifferent tone:

"If he doesn't want us to go, we'll talk to him if he's soft, and we'll drive him away if he's hard." The three of us are still afraid of him?"

"Well, if it doesn't work, we'll tie him up and let him go when we're gone, and we'll spend the night with him anyway. ”

Xiao Yao also agreed with Wang Yan's statement, at this time, tell them to go back, don't even think about it.

"What's the matter with you, why are you still moving forward? Go back, what should I do if something happens?"

The footsteps of the three men had already made the man so angry that he stood outside the door of a hut and drove them away. Xiao Yao also saw through the thick fog and saw the hazy light coming out of the hut. On both sides of the railway in front and on the ground, there are also red, green and yellow lights.

The three of them came to the door of the hut and stood still, Xiao Yao took a step forward and said in a very gentle tone:

"Big brother, the three of us are students who came out to play, and now the fog is too big, we are lost, can we rest here for one night, and leave early tomorrow morning, and never cause you trouble." ”

"No, you've already caused me trouble here, and you have to spend the night here, don't even think about it. ”

Under the light, a young man in his twenties looked very thin, although he was angry, but his kind face did not make people afraid. He was wearing a set of black overalls, which supported his dark skin, and the whole person looked very capable.

"Big brother, we have drunk some pond water since noon, and now we really can't walk. If we hadn't been so hungry that we had lost our strength, you had let us go, and we would have gone back long ago. ”

Xiao Yao stopped Wang Yan, who wanted to push the person away and break in directly, and explained more patiently, wanting to arouse his pity. After listening to Xiao Yao's words, the man's face softened significantly, he looked at the three of them, and asked in a suspicious tone:

"You haven't eaten since noon?"

"I haven't eaten anything since yesterday at noon. ”

Jin Ming added, also wanting to gain his sympathy, he thought that it would be much less trouble to spend the night here by peaceful means.

"Well, you guys come in first, I still have a tube of noodles here, I'll make it for you to eat before leaving." ”

As soon as they heard that there were noodles to eat, the three of them were all bright-eyed, but as soon as they entered, a rapid telephone rang, and the man didn't have time to take the noodles, so he went to answer the phone, only to hear him say:

"Understand, three down, five up. ”

After hanging up the phone, he hurried out. Xiao Yao looked at the hut in front of him, the small house was divided into two rooms inside and outside by a wall, and only a rectangular door hole was left on the partition wall, and there was no door.

In the outer hut was a small table with an electric stove and an aluminum steel pot. There was also a small table by the window, and the only items on the table were the phone that had just rang, a small single bed, and no other furnishings.

After a while, the man came back and said:

"Don't go outside, this is the train dispatch station from south to north, and the cars are not safe. ”

Dropping this sentence, he was busy boiling the water below, he didn't ask Xiao Yao if they would be below, the water hadn't boiled yet, and another phone call came, and he also repeated a few times up and down a few times, and then went out again and came back to continue below.

"Big brother, what kind of place is this? ”

"My name is Guo Dayu, and this is the trigger room, which is the place to change the direction of the train. ”

Guo Dayu picked up a tube of unopened noodles, took out the noodles and put them in boiling water, he originally wanted to keep some, but he looked at the three of them and poured all the remaining noodles into the pot.

Xiao Yao looked at him a little gratefully, knowing that this tube of noodles was his work meal for working here.

The noodles are good, he doesn't have so many tableware here, so he took out one of the vegetable pots and Xiao Yao used it as a bowl, and Wang Yan directly ate it with a small pot.

"I only have half a bag of mustard here, so you're going to eat some. ”

Seeing the three of them gobbling up hot noodles, Guo Dayu took out half a bag of mustard from the drawer and put it on the small table. Just as he was about to close the drawer, Xiao Yao's eyes flashed and he saw a harmonica in the drawer.

"Brother Guo, you also like to play the harmonica?"

"Hehe, not very well, when I'm bored, I blow and blow to relieve boredom. ”

Jin Ming had already finished eating the noodles in his bowl at this time, stretched out the bowl and asked Wang Yan to pour him some more noodle soup, and then said:

"Brother Guo, he plays the harmonica very well, let him teach you later. ”

Hearing Jin Ming say this, Guo Dayu looked at Xiao Yao with a little suspicion. Seeing that Wang Yan was reluctant to pour more of the noodle soup in the pot to Jin Ming, he understood in his heart.
