Chapter 3: Gunfire in the Jungle
Smack! A sharp gunshot shattered the tranquil primeval forest of the southern border of Southeast Asia. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the breeze blows green. On a cliff in the dense primeval forest, two heads, one old and one young, quietly poked out, looking around vigilantly. The old man has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, some taste of fairy wind and bones, and on Li Tangshan's dark and handsome face, a pair of black and white eyes are full of curiosity, simplicity, loyalty and calmness. Everything was calm again, as if nothing had happened just now, except for the rustling of the towering trees, and the startled birds flying back into the bushes. An old man and a young man exchanged glances suspiciously, and slowly retracted behind the cliff, Uncle Zhuo was dressed in gray-black burlap clothes, revealing an elegant bearing, holding a roll of yellowed thread-bound books in his hand, sitting on a boulder at random, Li Tangshan was wearing a shoulder made of wolf skin, carrying an automatic rifle on his back, revealing his strong muscles, in the sun, glowing with a faint luster, and on the ground was a dead wild sheep that could no longer die. Smack! Another gunshot rang out, and the two of them fell vigilantly to the ground, climbed to the edge of the cliff, and saw several people hurrying forward in the dense forest of the canyon in the distance. "Is it a Khmer soldier?" Uncle Zhuo whispered suspiciously. "Well, it seems to be being hunted down," Li Tangshan whispered excitedly. Uncle Zhuo looked into the distance, he was old, his eyes were a little farsighted, and it was easy to see the chasing soldiers about three miles behind, and there were quite a few people in the situation. In a few moments, there were four soldiers who were being pursued in front, one of them was wounded and carried on the back of the other, and soon passed through the cliff and quickly left towards the deeper dense forest, and after a while, a dozen or so soldiers who were also fully armed appeared, looking not dressed like their own people, and continued to pursue the past and disappeared into the dense forest.
On the towering cliff, the two shrank back and leaned on the boulder, Uncle Zhuo looked at the excited young man, pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the Khmer soldiers were chased and killed by foreign troops?" ”
"Yes, they walked into the Hungry Wolf Valley, and beyond that is the Miasma Forest Valley, it is difficult for any of them to live, Uncle Zhuo, it's not early, let's go back." Li Tangshan still looks excited, the young man's personality is out-of-the-box, and it is his nature to be so exciting.
Uncle Zhuo had no intention of leaving, sighed, and said, "Tangshan, aren't you thinking about getting out of the mountains and going back outside?" This is a great opportunity, if you are afraid of death, Uncle Zhuo will not keep you. ”
Li Tangshan was taken aback, looked at Uncle Zhuo suspiciously, and said, "Uncle Zhuo, didn't you say that I should go through the baptism of war?" Besides, I don't worry about you alone, I won't be a deserter. ”
Uncle Zhuo didn't answer, looked at the two armies in the distance, and said: "The way of nature is always clear, the way of yin and yang is always quiet, and the way of being a person is often the classic, the name is: "The Book of Nature", you started to learn the subset of the Four Books and Five Classics from me at the age of three, and began to practice the "Book of Nature" exercises at the age of five, and it has been twenty-three years now, which can be regarded as a success. ”
"What is obtained from nature, and it must be returned to nature, is the essence of the word. With the essence of the people in the essence of nature, the Qi of the people in the Qi of nature, the god of the people in the god of nature, exhaustive, exhaustive, life, success, morality, the golden body, directly prove the holy realm of the infinite nature. At this point, the root of all things in heaven and earth, the mystery of the universe, and the truth of the hidden nature of all beings, you are already twenty-three, and you should have your own life. Uncle Zhuo said
Uncle Zhuo sang and walked, "Good, the nature of the avenue!" Heaven and earth are in harmony with their virtues, the sun and the moon are in harmony with their brightness, yin and yang are in harmony with their ways, the four seasons are in their order, all things are in harmony with their nature, the law is open to the world, and the work is natural. Therefore, the Taishang Wuji Natural Ancestor spreads the way of nature, and helps the masses to understand the way. ”
Li Tangshan looked at Uncle Zhuo in front of him with tears in his eyes, this person who raised himself, the bits and pieces of twenty-three years came to mind, and he was grateful for Uncle Zhuo's past teachings and expectations. Uncle Zhuo often said a sentence in his mind, "Li Tangshan, my Uncle Zhuo taught you so much, not to let you bury the small country of Southeast Asia, one day, you must go out of the small country and do your own business, and you can't live in vain once." ”
In the primeval forest, under the scorching summer sun, there was a trace of eerie cold, a soldier carefully opened the way in front, his strong body was as swift as a raccoon, and the eyes on his stoic face could not hide the exhaustion revealed. Behind him was another, stronger soldier carrying an unconscious companion, and another soldier carefully erasing his marks, vigilantly guarding for danger behind.
As soon as he walked to a huge ancient tree, the soldier who was walking in the middle and carried the man on his back suddenly shouted in a low voice: "It's not good, the captain has a high fever." As he spoke, he put another soldier on his back on the ground, and as he broke off a wide leaf, he fanned the wind in a hurry, his eyes were red, and the iron-beaten man choked up a little.
When the pathfinder in front heard this, he quickly turned back, looked at the unconscious captain carefully, and said calmly: "No, we haven't jumped out of the blocking range yet, so let's walk quickly on our backs." ”
"The high fever does not go away, the wound is inflamed, it can't be treated without treatment, you take the captain and Tian Li away, and I will lead them away." The tall and mighty soldier said decisively.
At this time, the person after the break also followed, and when he saw the situation, he naturally understood the reason, and said calmly: "Don't argue, blasting is my strength, and I will go the most appropriate." ”
"Or I'll go, I'm a sniper, in the jungle, you're not as good as me." The soldier who opened the road in front said, grabbed his gun and was about to leave.
"Wait, no one is a bad breed, grandma's, such a good thing, no one wants to swallow it alone, the old rules, draw lots." Said the soldier who carried the man.
"Okay, I'll make the sign," said the man after the break, breaking off a thin branch, tossing it, and saying, "The old rule, the longest goes, and the broken one stays." Soon, he pinched three branches that looked the same length in both hands and motioned for the two to smoke first.
At this time, the person lying on the ground suddenly made a slight voice, "Water, give me water." ”
When the three of them heard this, they all looked at the people on the ground excitedly, looked at the captain in surprise, and one of them cut down a grapevine from the side, and some white liquid flowed from the vine, which dripped into the captain's mouth, and the saber was hit a few times, and the water in the vine was all drained.
Just as Tian Li's man also pulled out the saber tied to his leg and was about to get some water out, the captain on the ground had already woken up, looked at the three of them and said, "Stone, big head, Tian Niu, I can't do it, you guys go." ”
"No," the three said in unison, leaving no room for rebuttal.
