Chapter 17: The Abandoned Cave

"I don't know, listening to the older generation, I never saw any ore transported down from the mountain, and people speculated at that time that the mine might be a gold mine, and the gold mined was not very much, and it was not transported by large cars at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" guessed the village chief.

Xiao Wang, a local policeman, asked rhetorically: "I haven't heard of any gold mines here, if there were, it should have been discovered a long time ago." ”

Liu Dazhi, the village head, was also puzzled, "I don't know this, what kind of mine is the legendary mine, and even whether there is this mine, everyone has never seen it, it's a mystery." ”

Nan Zhiqiao walked in front, suddenly stopped, looked up at the two high bunker buildings in front of him, and said lightly: "The turret has arrived." ”

The two high bunker buildings are not far apart, a distance of tens of meters, each turret is as high as a three-story building, and it is repaired into a cylindrical shape with gray bricks, and from a distance it looks like two round giants guarding the mountainside.

It was the first time Ye Zhenzhen saw this kind of turret building, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the bunker of war, it looks gloomy, and it is still standing after seventy or eighty years." ”

Liu Dazhi, the village head, interjected: "These two turrets have been dilapidated, they are empty, and when I was a child, there were still some tables and chairs in them with rotten wood, but now they are gone, and the walls are full of sparrows' nests." ”

Ye Zhenzhen walked forward, and looked closer to the turret, there was a lookout at the top of the turret, and there were holes of different sizes in the cylindrical brick wall, which were used to shoot guns.

Looking at the black gun hole on the turret, Ye Zhenzhen's heart was cold, how many innocent people have died here, although many years have passed since the war, but the pain left by the war still exists......

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's face heavy, Nan Zhiqiao changed the topic and asked the village chief, "Where is that ghost cave?"

The village chief pointed to the east side of the turret, "It's there, not far away." ”

The village chief walked in front, four strong villagers followed, Nan Zhiqiao, Ye Zhenzhen and policeman Xiao Wang followed, walked a distance of several hundred meters, in front of a wooded hillside, the village chief stopped, pointed to a big banyan tree on the hillside, and said, "The ghost cave is on the hillside behind the banyan tree." ”

The crowd tore through the bushes on the hillside and passed under the big banyan tree, and a semicircular arched cave appeared in front of them.

"This is the ghost cave, it has been abandoned for decades, few people come, the road in front of the cave has grown into bushes, and I don't know how those little boys found it. The village chief stood at the mouth of the cave and muttered.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the "ghost cave" carefully, the arched ghost cave entrance, there are traces of artificial repair, the original uneven mountain stones have been polished and smoothed, and the surrounding area is also built into the shape of an arch with gray bricks, the arch is more than two people high, more than one meter wide.

The village chief stood at the arched doorway of the ghost cave, looked into the cave, and after a while exclaimed, "It's dark inside, and I can't see anything clearly." ”

Nan no Qiao took out a simple searchlight from his backpack, "Use this." ”

The village chief took the searchlight from Nan Zhiqiao's hand, and then looked at the young and handsome young man in front of him, although he respected him as an expert in national disease control at a young age, but for this dark ghost cave in the deep mountains and forests, the young man should be afraid, the village chief took the searchlight very heroically, and said: "I go ahead, you follow behind, there is any danger, I can deal with it." ”

Nan Zhiqiao was slightly stunned, he originally wanted to walk in front by himself, but since the village chief was a guide and asked for it, it was better to follow behind.

Nan Zhiqiao took out the protective clothing and distributed a set to each person, the village chief and the four villagers wore this kind of protective clothing for the first time, and they didn't put it on for a long time, Ye Zhenzhen helped everyone sort it out.

Nan Zhi Qiao waved his hand at Ye Zhenzhen, signaling to follow him, and Zhen Zhen took two steps closer to Nan Zhi Qiao, which was regarded as a response.

The policeman Xiao Wang and four strong villagers also followed behind and cautiously entered the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, a cool breeze blew in his face, and with an eerie feeling, Ye Zhenzhen leaned next to Nan Zhiqiao again, and muttered in a low voice: "There is wind in the cave, it seems that in addition to the entrance of the cave just now, this ghost cave also has an exit to communicate with the outside world." ”

Nan Zhiqiao looked at the ground carefully, and at the same time responded: "Xiaohu, they are the ghost cave that came out of another hole, but they don't know the specific location of the exit in a panic, and for a while, we have to be careful of the deep well he said." ”

"Hmm. ”

Ye Zhenzhen carefully followed Nan Zhiqiao's side, by the light of the searchlight, carefully looked at the surrounding environment, in the cave, there were waste wood, dilapidated iron shelves, piles of bricks and rubble, and there were some rags in the corners that were about to break into slag, everything was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the uneven ground was also on the uneven ground, people walked on it, raising dust, inhaling into the nostrils, choking people uncomfortable.

"Ahhh......h

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, this little policeman could even guess that the bottle found in Liu Shi's pigsty in Paolou Village was related to the Japanese back then, and it seemed that his head was turning fast enough, but he didn't know how long the anthrax that caused this plague could survive, so he complained just now.

Ye Zhenzhen explained to the little policeman, and also told the village chief and the four strong villagers behind him, "The spores of Bacillus anthracis have strong vitality and can survive for more than 60 years in a dry environment. ”

The policeman Xiao Wang was obviously stunned for a moment, and snorted: "The plague is so bad, then we have to be careful." ”

Policeman Xiao Wang said as he leaned towards Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao, as if in this way, he could be safer.

The village chief walked in front, also a little frightened, obviously slowed down his pace, turned to the four strong villagers behind him and said, "Everyone, be careful, don't touch the dead corpse or anything." ”

Ye Zhenzhen didn't expect her words to have such a big effect, and coughed a little embarrassed.

Hearing the cough, Nan Zhiqiao asked nervously, "What, where is it uncomfortable?"

"No, it's just that the air in the cave is a little choking, and you can smell a pungent smell when you wear a mask. ”

In addition to the dust, there was a strange smell in the cave, like the smell of fermented organic matter, and some pungent spicy, like the smell of chemical agents wafting through the air.

Everyone also smelled it, although they couldn't be sure what the smell was coming from, but it was definitely not something that would be found in an ordinary cave, and when they were wondering, suddenly, a sharp voice came: "Squeak squeak......"

The sound came from underground, and through the rocks underground, the shrill sound became a little muffled.

"What's that sound?" Policeman Xiao Wang stopped vigilantly and looked around.
