Story 72 Underground Tunnels (5)

A few people in front of the fire reacted this time, and a few of them turned around slowly, but they were also taken aback by the solemn few of them, and one of them shouted, "There are ghosts!" The mountain ghost is out! ”

The three of them were also stunned when he shouted like this, and Chu Xiangbei said to them loudly, "Who is the ghost!" Don't shout about catching ghosts, okay? ”

After hearing his words, the group slowly stood up, and one of the oldest middle-aged people said, "Why did you appear out of thin air when you are not mountain ghosts?" ”

Chu Xiangbei said angrily, "What appeared out of thin air? We didn't start ......" He was stunned halfway through his words, only to see that the tunnel that the three of them walked out of just now behind him was gone!

"It can't be! What about the road? There was a way just now! Chu Xiangbei said to himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two of them were also surprised that the tunnel that had been walking for so long just now had disappeared!

The middle-aged man was also surprised when he saw their expressions, so he said to them, "You are really not mountain ghosts? ”

Duan Feifei shook his head and said, "It's really not an uncle, so are we...... We got lost, we couldn't find our way out, and then we stumbled here, and we came out of a long, dark tunnel, but now the tunnel is gone. ”

The middle-aged man's face softened a little when he heard this, "We are the villagers of Liujiapu, we were caught by the little devils and came here to mine stones, and many villagers were sent back to the village because of physical reasons, and now there are only a few of us left in our village, originally the Japanese said that there will be new laborers tomorrow, but I didn't expect a mining disaster, and we were trapped here!" Because there is no road in the direction you just came from, the second dog will still think that you are a mountain ghost! ”

Chu Xiangbei glanced at the arm on the fire and said, "Uncle, I think you are like a mountain ghost!" ”

The middle-aged man said with an ugly face, "We have been trapped here for many days, this arm is a Japanese soldier who was stoned to death, we are really hungry and have no choice but to be like this, our family is all old and young, we don't want to die here!" ”

He solemnly whispered to Chu Xiangbei and Duan Feifei, "They don't seem to know that they are dead......

Duan Feifei also said nervously, "Then let's be careful when we speak, don't break it!" ”

The middle-aged man saw that a few of them were hiding far away, and thought that they were afraid of roasting people's arms on the fire, so he took the roasted arms aside, saying that he would keep them for tomorrow and eat them, because they would not spoil too quickly when they were cooked.

Then I told them to sit down and roast the fire, because it was very cold at night, and if you didn't keep warm by the fire, it would be easy to freeze.

The three of them wanted to refuse, but when he said this, they really felt that the cave was cold and cold, so they had to go over and sit down to roast the fire......

"Uncle, what's the matter with the mountain ghost you just mentioned?" Duan Feifei asked.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "This mountain is called Niuxin Mountain, and it has always been said that there are 'mountain ghosts' living in this mountain to guard the mountain, but the people in our village have never encountered it when they go into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt, until the Japanese came, something terrible began to happen......

Solemnly and curiously, he asked, "What happened?" ”

The two dogs on the side rushed to say, "When the Japanese devils came, they caught strong men in our village, saying that they wanted us to come to Niuxin Mountain to be miners, but we didn't want to come at that time, for fear that if we dig the mountain, there will be mountain ghosts to retaliate against us." ”

The middle-aged man continued, "But in front of me, the devil is more powerful than the mountain ghost, and if any of us dares not go, we will be shot immediately, and finally all the men in the village over the age of 20 come here to mine for the Japanese."

As a result, when we arrived here, we found that in addition to our village, there were people from several other nearby villages, and everything was normal for the first few days, although they were only a little tired, but the Japanese still had enough to eat, and they called it a day after dark.

But on the seventh day, things were wrong, and when they counted the number of people at the end of the day, they found that there were few people, and at first the Japanese thought that someone had secretly run away, but later they found that most of these people had entered the mine when they were on the job and never came up.

The Japanese also sent people down to look for them, but there was nothing, but as more and more people were lost, the work in the mines gradually became heavier and heavier, and the rest time became shorter and shorter.

It didn't take long for some of the poor people to fall ill, and the villagers who had lost their labor were sent away by the Japanese, who said that they were sent back to the village to recuperate, and that they would be paid to return to work when they were cured, but we did not see any of them come back. ”

Zheng Zheng, who had been listening without speaking, suddenly asked the middle-aged man, "What about those who are missing?" Did you find it in the end? ”

The middle-aged man's face turned ugly, and he said with a shocked face, "Later, everyone found it, but they were all eaten by the mountain!" ”

"Eaten by the mountains? How is this possible? Duan Feifei asked puzzled.

"yes, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed it at all! It's so miserable, those who have disappeared are all embedded in the rocks, and as we continue to mine, the bodies of those who disappeared first before have appeared, but they all seem to have been sucked dry by something, and their skin is shriveled.

The Japanese were also frightened when they saw these corpses, but they had no intention of stopping the work, but none of us wanted to continue digging, but the Japanese did not agree, so our situation at that time was that we had to die if we didn't dig, and we had to die if we didn't dig! In the end, a few of us in a village discussed it, and if it didn't work, let's run, maybe the Japanese will think that we were also eaten by the mountains like the people before us.

As a result, we planned everything and prepared to escape that night, but we didn't expect a mining disaster to happen during the day, and all our workers were trapped underground, because the location was relatively scattered, so we were the only ones in this mine. ”

Chu Xiangbei looked at their yellow faces and thin muscles, and asked them, "Do you remember how many days you were trapped?" ”

These people's expressions were very blank, some said it was 10 days, some said it was 15 days, but the three of them knew that they would definitely not be able to get out, otherwise they would not have met modern people here decades later.

Duan Feifei roasted the fire for a while, then got up and wanted to look in the cave to see if there were any exits or something, she observed and found that there were actually many tunnels in this cave, but it was impossible to listen to these miners.

But if they can't get through, it doesn't mean that they can't get through, after all, they are all souls trapped here back then, and it's normal that they can't get out! (To be continued.) )
