Chapter 156: Suspense in the tunnel
The militia assigned by the old Eighth Road was inserted from each entrance, not letting go of each passage, and the key entrances were guarded by militiamen, laying an impermeable net, not to mention people, in the silent tunnel, even if there is a mosquito flying past the ear, it will also leave a sound, let alone a person! The militiamen always keep in mind the words of Lao Balu, what they want to look for is a sour person, after seeing someone, they are not allowed to let go of guns, they are not allowed to be rude, they only need comfort and persuasion!
At that time, the location of Lao Balu was only a few hundred meters away from the place where the treasure was buried, and when he and Lao Feng came to that place, Lao Balu turned on the flashlight in his hand, and to his surprise, the walls in the entire tunnel fell off to varying degrees! So, he thought of the explosion in the Black Mountain Cave, it was the huge explosion sound of the Black Mountain Cave that caused the wall skin in the tunnel to fall off. So he thought about the place where he buried the treasure, and he wondered, will that place also fall off?
Sure enough, when he came to the place where the treasure was hidden, with the help of the light of the flashlight, he saw the exposed grenade at a glance! From the top, bottom, left and right directions, the section of the entire box is revealed, forming a "three-square grid" shape; The face of the three-square grid is covered with grenades, and on each corner, there are grenades, forming a five-pointed star; No matter which angle you look at, each grenade is very carefully arranged, each grenade, moving one, will involve other grenades, as long as the grenade moves, there will be a danger of explosion!
Lao Balu remembered that when he buried this batch of treasures, the location here happened to be a three-way intersection, and he cleverly placed the chest full of treasures in a passage. A passage was sealed. It saves time and effort. Just seal the two ends, install an explosive device, and you're all set! He is not an amateur with an explosive device, he pretends to be a death device, which means, I can't open it, and none of you want to open it, no matter who moves it. There will be danger! It's not easy to find the treasure, and it's even harder to take the treasure!
This is the reason why after the iron abacus saw this explosive device, he sighed and wanted to cry without tears! Even the commissioner, a senior spy, was at a loss after seeing it! But anyone who has learned the blasting device understands the principle, this is a dead knot, even the designer should not want to open it! This is a hot potato, which can only be smelled, not eaten; It's a beautiful painting. You can only see, not take! It's like Qi Baishi's ink painting on the wall full of grapes. A bird tries to land on a grape trellis, but it hits its head and bleeds!
Is this the treasure? Lao Feng asked. Lao Feng looked at these neatly arranged boxes, he didn't know how many boxes there were inside, just one box was enough for him to be surprised, such a big box, how much money and treasures could be contained in it, it was really amazing!
Yes! This is the treasure that Li Changji hid in the tunnel, rich and rivaling the country! Lao Balu looked at these big boxes containing money and all kinds of treasures, and remembered the scene when he dug up the treasure with Niu Er and Xiao Zhuge at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart!
Did you set up these blasting devices? Lao Feng looked at the grenade exposed on the wall, and all sighed at its exquisite setting! He has been a horse for decades, but he has only heard of this kind of device, which is generally not commonly used, and few people install such a device, who would be so stupid as to set up a blasting device that he can't even get himself? Lao Feng felt a surprise in his heart that was even more amazing than the treasure! He didn't know how much else he didn't know about Lao Balu waiting to surprise him!
Yes! I set it up! This treasure was dug up from the ground, and I'm going to bury him in the ground! I don't know how many people wanted to get him, but no one got it. I remember that I just took out a little bit and gave it to Niu Er, which caused the iron abacus to cause trouble, and I made a big mistake! If I hadn't given Niu Er those money at that time, the iron abacus would not have ended up in today's situation, and I would be responsible! Lao Balu said.
Then why don't you pay the job? Lao Feng asked puzzled! From the words of Lao Balu, he heard a hint of superstition, which made him puzzled! But it's not easy to ask, that's why I said this.
It's not time yet! Lao Balu said.
So when is the time? Lao Feng asked puzzledly, he didn't know that he didn't pay the property he had learned, and he had to divide the time, what kind of bullshit logic was this!
I don't know, at least now is not the time. Lao Balu said.
Then aren't you afraid of thieves stealing it? Lao Feng asked again.
You see, did the thieves steal it? Lao Balu pointed to the treasure and said!
You can't contain fire in the paper, so many people know about it, can you hide it for a while, can you be full of it? First, if someone sues you for harboring property, and it is a valuable property, won't you have to walk around without food? Why are you doing this? Second, if a thief breaks a jar and forcibly blasts it, won't he waste a lot of valuable jewelry? Lao Feng asked again.
If the first situation happens, that is, when the treasure is seen again, there will be an answer to the question, and the right and wrong of the answer will be clear, and the matter will be revealed! For example, today, you found this treasure, you are my superior, and you ordered me to transport this treasure out and give it to the state for the benefit of the people, and this is the result of it, because it came to pass! There is only one result of the second situation, that is, the chickens fly and the eggs beat the people and the money, which is also the result of my original design! Lao Balu said.
Lao Balu's words, the more he said, the more Lao Feng didn't understand! He tilted his head and looked at Lao Balu strangely and said, I said, how do you grow melon seeds in your head? Are you human? I'm so bored, how do you look like you have all the flowers and intestines in your belly? Lao Feng felt that Lao Balu's words made him not know the familiar person in front of him!
At the beginning, a person who couldn't even save his own life, he could only take care of something else! Eat the rice one bite at a time, and do the same thing! The explosion of the Black Mountain Cave means that a major event is over; The peeling off of the wall skin and the exposed box are also a sign, and your appearance also proves that the day of his emergence is also the day when it will be seen again! When this is done, you will draw up a draft to start digging for treasure. Approved above. Let's tell the world. Let it deserve its name, this is the time when it really belongs! Lao Balu said!
Ha ha! Lao Feng laughed out loud, oh, going around with you, you pushed me to the cusp, right? It wouldn't have been possible without me, would it? You've got me on the hook! I think you're terrible right now! Gotta get it, I can't tell you, when we're done with this file, I'll do it. Let the treasure see the light of day again and benefit the people, and count me as my old Feng Jide!
That's right! It's yours! This also means that today, the treasure has found its true owner! Thank you for your treasures, thank you for the country, thank you even more for the people, your merits are immeasurable! A smile appeared on the face of the old Balu!
I'll tell you Lao Balu, don't be too happy, if something really happens in the process. I can't protect you! Everyone knows that you are the one who did this, and by then you will really not be able to eat and go around. No one is blocking it for you, and you can't stop it if you want to! Lao Feng said.
Okay, then let's not do anything, let's not look for the iron abacus, we won't arrest the commissioner, and we won't dig deep into the ghosts, let's dig up the treasure! Lao Balu said.
As soon as Lao Feng heard Lao Balu say that he was looking for an iron abacus, he suddenly remembered today's task, patronized and spoke, and forgot about this matter! So, he hurriedly said, okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, where is the iron abacus?
Isn't that right? Lao Balu said, where is the others? The treasure is here, he must have found the treasure, he will definitely not leave the treasure, this is his greatest wish, this is his life and all! Where will he go?
He shouldn't be too far away, as you said, it's the dead of night, maybe it's time for him to go out, the question is where can he go? Lao Feng was also thinking about it.
There is no news of the militia assigned to the tunnels, and we have almost sealed off all the tunnels, could it be that he is not in the tunnels? Lao Balu was thinking, this possibility existed, but even if he went out for activities, the time would not be too long, he was reluctant to give up these treasures, he would be back soon! However, there is another problem, if he is not in the tunnel now, and we have so many people coming in now, will this disturb the vigilant iron abacus? He has lived in the tunnel for a long time, and his experience has made him very alert, he lives in such a situation, he is bound to be more sensitive to the environment here, and every slight change here will arouse his suspicions!
So what do we do? Withdraw first? Our actions have already taken a stagger, and now this result will leave us with an even bigger problem! We can't force him, he's like a frightened bird right now, and the slightest disturbance will make him panic! His wounded heart doesn't trust anyone anymore, he only believes in himself, his heart has been completely distorted, how difficult it is to make him change!
Stay and wait for him? Isn't that a dog barking with a stick, barking farther and farther? He is already quite familiar with the environment here, his sense of smell, hearing, and sensation are already quite sensitive, any kind of foreign smell is a stimulus for him, and he will definitely make an emergency response! He can't go on the ground, his image is already different from ordinary people, and the tunnel is already his only home! If we don't leave, where will we let him go?
We can only appease! He's hurt enough, he's our friend, he's our best friend, he's our brother, we can't let him be hurt anymore, we don't have any reason to let him be hurt in any way!
What are you doing? Are you talking? What do we do now? Lao Feng asked.
yes, what are we going to do now?! The old Balu sighed! Now it's impossible to go, can't stay, and it's difficult to ride a tiger in a dilemma! If we were to leave now, and the iron abacus found that there were already people in the tunnel, and there were a large number of people, what would he think? That deadly gun was his biggest pain! The pain in life that can never be erased! Everything left here outside, even the slightest trace, that deadly bullet, will make him tremble!
What do you call that! Where's your idea? You count me in one set, why are you stupid when it comes to key issues? Hurry up and make up your mind, we can't make mistakes at this juncture, everything must be for the sake of iron abacus! If he misses the slightest, I'll ask you! Lao Feng was very aware of the situation of the iron abacus. He thinks the same as Lao Balu. No one has been found. If the iron abacus comes back from outside now and finds that we are still in the tunnel, where will the family go? This is his only home, he can't go up, he can't go down, isn't this another desperate way to force people to a dead end?
At this moment, Lao Balu and Lao Feng suddenly heard an abnormal sound! I don't know where the voice came from, but it was the voice of the voice. It's the sound of conversation!
Listen, listen? Lao Feng hurriedly held his breath and listened carefully! Lao Balu also held his breath, he didn't dare to come out, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense!
Was it the militia who discovered the iron abacus? Are they having a conversation? It must have been the militia who discovered the iron abacus, otherwise they would not be able to speak, it must be like this! Lao Balu and Lao Feng made a color, which means that let's follow the sound to find out, there is a door!
Thereupon. Lao Balu and Lao Feng Ha bent their waists and tiptoed forward. Listen carefully as you walk!
Suddenly, the voice was louder! Someone shouted, come on, he's here, I can't persuade him, he insists on leaving, come on! ……
Hear clearly, hear clearly, hurry up! Lao Feng greeted Lao Balu and ran towards the sound quickly!
At this time, I could hear a big chaos in the tunnel, and there were hurried footsteps everywhere in all directions! All of these voices gathered together at a rapid pace towards the place where the calling voice sounded!
At this time, every passage in the tunnel is clear! The militiamen lit their torches and ran fast! Lao Balu and Lao Feng turned on the flashlight as soon as possible! When they came to the mouth of a cave, one of the militiamen saw them and immediately reported, "Report to the old secretary, I found the man, I asked him to stay and go with us, I said that we are here to save you, he kept persuading, and he started to beat me......
Lao Balu didn't have time to listen to the militia's blind delay in time, so he hurriedly urged, say where to run, hurry up!
Ahead, just the passage ahead! The militia replied!
Lao Balu and Lao Feng didn't say a word, took a flashlight, and chased after them with one arrow step! Lao Balu chased after him, and shouted loudly, Iron Abacus, I am Lao Balu, you are wronged, I am here to rescue you out, don't run away, come home with me......
The militia behind him shuttled through the tunnels one after another, holding torches, like a long dragon spraying firelight!
They kept chasing, but they never saw anyone! Lao Balu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a fast foot force! What a light effort!
It's late! They wandered around the tunnel for most of the day, and they never saw a human figure again, and the iron abacus disappeared without a trace!
Lao Balu and Lao Feng led the militia and came to the ground from a tunnel entrance, looking at the vast land as far as the eye can see, and breathed a long sigh of relief, with an indescribable taste in their hearts! Oh, the iron abacus! ……
Tell me more about the person you met. Lao Balu asked the militiaman who saw the iron abacus.
Like you said, he has a sour smell on him! Said the militia.
Does it smell big? Lao Balu asked again.
The militia hesitated and said, almost.
What do you mean by "almost"? Definitely! Lao Balu is serious, this problem must be clarified! After the iron abacus was shot, it was this dress that came out of the ground, and it was this dress that stayed in the tunnel for a long time, and it was never changed, so you can imagine how bad the smell was!
When the militia saw Lao Balu's expression, they were even more incoherent, and they didn't know how to answer! But if you don't answer, you can't answer, you can't answer, and I don't know how to answer well, I can't help it, I just said that it's a little sour and sour!
The old Eighth Road is in a hurry! The heart said, the boss, how can he not even say a sentence clearly! Forget it, it's useless to train him. Then he said to him, "Tell me what you are talking to, and we have heard you."
As I was looking, I suddenly tripped over something, and I felt like a person, and this coldness frightened me, and I quickly lit a torch. This person is of medium build, on the tall side, and does have a sour smell on his body, and his physical characteristics are the same as you said. So, I said to him, don't be afraid, we are here to save you, go back with us! He stared at me and said, "You guys, what are you!" I'll go back with you, and there will be no door! I said, our old secretary said, the old secretary said that you are a good person, let you not run away, we came to you on purpose! The man said, "Old secretary?" It's the old eight roads, what kind of thing is he! He's coming to save me? What kind of intentions can he press! No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he just wouldn't listen! There's no way, I said if you don't listen, I'll call someone! As soon as he heard me shouting, he ran away! I chased after me, and he said as he ran, if you want to live, stay away from me! ……
Does he have a guy in his hand? Lao Balu asked.
No, he seemed to want to pull something out of his waist, but he didn't take it out! He ran so fast that I couldn't catch up with him! Said the militia.
At this time, other militiamen also said that he was indeed very fast, and his hands were strong, and he couldn't stop us if he didn't pull us!
Lao Balu listened carefully to the words of the militia, and everything sounded reasonable, but the militia's narrative always made him feel a little awkward! It is impossible to say, and the depiction is vague, and the impression depicted as a whole gives people a vague feeling! At least the iron abacus won't scold me, why is his misfortune on my head?
Hey, iron abacus, iron abacus, I was also unable to protect myself at the time, it's not that I didn't save you, it's just that my impression of you is too shallow, Niu Er didn't tell me, this matter was all inadvertently wrong! Now don't care who is right and who is wrong, you are still alive, we are all looking for you, we are here to avenge you, go back with us, stop wandering outside, we all want you to go home with us! Iron abacus, can you hear me?!
When I walked to the entrance of the village again, Lao Balu said to the militiamen, tonight's mission is over, everyone has worked hard, let's go back!
The militiamen left, Lao Feng looked at his watch and asked Lao Balu, what should we do now?
After a day and a night, let's go home and rest, and they will notify us if there is anything!
Lao Feng said "um", that's the only way, go back! Lao Feng's tone was mixed with a lot of helplessness and regret! He was thinking that the iron abacus ran because the damage was too deep, and this kind of injury sometimes turned into a kind of hatred, a kind of hatred, which was never as simple as misunderstanding! If you don't untie this dead knot in time, I'm afraid that the future work will really be a problem!
Two figures disappeared into the night! …… (To be continued......)
