Dong Ku changed clothes with Shanzi and sat in the cab, and after the two men disappeared at the end of the road on the motorcycle, he ordered the truck to turn into a fork in the road, bypass Mishan, and go straight to Daheisheng.

Along the way, Dong Ku's standard Japanese and the second lieutenant's military uniform allowed several checkpoints along the way to have no obstacles, and smoothly bypassed the smoky miasma, chickens and dogs that had been caused by them, and drove the truck into the dense forest, dismantling the wheels, steel plates, and all the metal that could be disassembled, and burying the ground, and then entering the depths of the Great Black Mountain.

In a ditch and pond, people who had not had a fire for several days sat around the fire, roasting soaked shoes and trouser legs, eating heated food, drinking boiling water in lunch boxes, and the feeling of returning home made the atmosphere very harmonious.

"Liu Zhong, is there a place near here that can live for a long time, both in winter and summer, and is not easy to be surrounded?"

Dong Ku asked, knocking the dry mud on the roasted tree chicken.

"Yes, yes, it's too far, it's not convenient to go out of the mountain and enter the mountain."

Liu Zhong said without thinking.

"It's far from a problem, as long as it's dry and hidden, we don't have to follow this floating in the mountains is not a way."

"Brother Zhong didn't mean the black blind ditch, right?"

Huzi interjected as Dong Ku's voice fell.

"Well, it's the Black Blind Ditch, where the terrain is complex, the forests are dense, there are many shrubs, and there are patches of dog dates and schisandra vines, even we hunters don't dare to go easily, especially in summer, the forest can't even see the sun." After a pause, Liu Zhong continued: "The year before last, I carried a black blind man of more than 500 catties into there, and found a cave there, the entrance of the cave was in the crack of the stone, and there were rocks in front of it. ”

"Snakes?"

Dong Ku nodded, snakes do not enter the place of death, there is a saying that has been circulated for a long time, at least the geological structure of the cave with snakes will not be bad, as long as the people who live in it, there is the smell of fireworks, the snake in the cat winter will leave and choose another place.

"Okay, let's go there."

After flipping through and arranging the night, everyone slept comfortably, and completely rested the nervous nerves and tired bodies for a few days......

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning, Dong Ku and his party left the camp with their bags on their backs and went straight to the black blind ditch.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Dong Ku and his team had crossed more than 30 miles of blind ponds, and stood at the mouth of a canyon full of dead leaves and debris. Here, this is the black blind ditch that Liu Zhong said.

The black blind ditch is not named because of the black blind man, but when he enters this haunted pond covering forty or fifty kilometers, his eyes are black, and he can't find the south, south, west, and northwest like a blind man; In addition, the mountains here are all similar, and if you don't have enough experience, even hunters won't set foot here easily. There is also a reason, here to autumn the mountains are full of red schisandra and tender yellow and green dog dates, these are the favorite foods of the black blind people, every late autumn, here will gather the surrounding black blind people to enjoy this feast together.

Liu Zhong has a strong sense of direction, let alone open his eyes, they once gambled that even if it was dark and rainy without starlight, in the mountains and forests, he could roughly find the location he wanted to go.

"Let's rest for five minutes, hurry up and collect dry firewood, if we move quickly, we can live in the cave tonight."

Putting down the backpack and looking at the surrounding environment and the rock crawling with dog jujube vines that Liu Zhong said, Dong Ku said with satisfaction.

Half an hour later, there was a pile of dry firewood near the rock.

At this time, all the surrounding rocks have been cleared, and even the watery rotten leaves have been cleared aside to avoid igniting a fire and causing a mountain fire.

After a short rest, Liu Zhong took the lead in carrying dry firewood and walked behind the stones, stepping on the snow that had been scraped into the hole, and entering the cracks of the screen-like rocks.

By the light of the flashlight, Dong Ku saw that this was a shale mountain, which should be a fault left by the movement of the earth's crust to form the mountain; The interior of the cave is quite large, and it is not stuffy at all; Maybe it's just after winter, and apart from a faint fishy smell, you can't feel a trace of moisture inside.

"Put the firewood in the snow and dodge the hole."

With Dong Ku's arrangement, a hug of dry firewood was piled up more than 30 meters away from the entrance of the cave, and the position of the cave entrance was opened.

"Let's go, Liu Zhong, go inside and have a look."

Dong Ku turned on his flashlight and walked inside.

Liu Zhong answered, followed him, all the way, to the depths of the cave.

A few minutes later, the two of them retreated, Dong Ku smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know if I can grab it here, there are too many snakes in it, and they are in a clump, I'm afraid that the snakes in the surrounding mountains will run here for cats." ”

"It's not ......"

Liu Zhong also had a little numbness in his scalp. The stacks of snakes of various colors were piled up in all corners of the cave, and the thickness was probably not too much to calculate in tens of centimeters.

"Well, let's get some more firewood." Returning to the crowd, Dong Ku ordered, "Shanzi and Huzi go around and see if they can find some frozen mushrooms, dried fungus or something, and the others continue to get firewood, maybe they will eat roast snake meat in a while." ”

Everyone didn't know what the two of them saw, and in response, Sun Tao hung the horse lantern on a rock protrusion full of mottled snake dung, turned around and walked out of the cave with everyone.

Half an hour later, Dong Ku lit a handful of hay, threw it on top of the large pile of firewood, and turned around and walked out of the hole.

"Huh? How not to smoke? ”

Everyone looked at the entrance of the cave and thought it was very strange, it was said that this cave should be smoking.

"It's not going to be gone......"

Dong Ku walked towards the entrance of the cave suspiciously, and before he could turn the huge rock, he suddenly stood still.

He felt the wind. Here, everywhere are vines that climb up to the trees, and the wind, even in winter, does not appear much here; At this time, Dong Ku obviously felt that this wind should be at least level three.

"What's going on?"

Dong Ku cautiously approached the rock, and the closer he got forward, the stronger the wind felt, and in his ears, he could already hear the whining of the wind.

"Is it ......?"

Dong Ku turned the rock quickly, and when he saw it, he was happy.

The firewood pile inside was blazing, and the flames were several meters high, rolling into the hole; The wind, crackling and exploding with sparks, flew into the hole in the direction where the flames had fallen. At the entrance of the cave, there was not a trace of smoke, but the temperature was slightly felt.

"There's another passage inside!"

This thought flashed, Dong Ku quickly got out of the cave, and ordered: "Bring some wet leaves in, we can sleep on the hot kang tonight......"

When everyone saw Dong Ku go and return, they came up with such a clueless sentence, although they didn't understand it in their hearts, but they had developed the habit of obeying orders these days, so they hugged the dead leaves soaked in water and sent them into the cave; When they entered the cave, they understood that the feelings were burning too quickly, and they needed to press wet wood to make the smoke bigger.

They were all mixed in the woods, and after throwing wet leaves, they pulled out their thick-backed sharp knives and went out of the cave to cut fresh branches.

Soon, thick smoke billowed from the cave, and with the wind pouring inward, it quickly filled the entire cave, tumbling and rolling, but did not overflow to the entrance of the cave.

On the top of the mountain two or three hundred meters high, Huzi and Shanzi found a piece of frozen mushrooms that had melted, and were squatting in front of the roots, holding it with a sharp knife.

"That's ......"

A faint smoke slowly drifted out from the cracks in the stone not far away, swaying, and drifting into the air.

"How can there be smoke?"

Shanzi stood up suspiciously, and was about to take a look, when suddenly, Huzi threw down the frozen mushrooms, rushed to the other side in a few steps, reached out on the ground, pulled up a pine snake of more than two meters, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Shanzi, there are long worms at this time, and you can stew soup at night." ”

Shanzi saw that this was a good thing, stewed soup, roasted and eaten, all delicious, and was about to praise Huzi for two sentences, when he suddenly had a numb scalp and shouted urgently: "Come here!" ”

Huzi was startled, and subconsciously looked around, this look, his scalp immediately went numb, only to see a snake head stretched out around him, entangled in the cracks of the stones on the ground, just like a spring of flowers, drilling out everywhere.

"Mom!"

Huzi screamed, pulled out his legs and ran, and ran to the place where he picked frozen mushrooms before in a few steps.

Although Shanzi didn't know what was going on, he saw the smoke wafting everywhere around, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly picked up the frozen mushrooms that he had picked off, grabbed the tiger and ran.

Along the way, they encountered more than a dozen snakes one or two meters long in a row, and they didn't care about catching them, so they hurriedly ran down the mountain.

"Brother Dong, the top of the mountain is full of insects, and the ground is full of ......"

Huzi's scalp was numb, and he said with palpitations.

"Huh? All ran from above? ”

Dong Ku looked at the mountain bag covered with schisandra vines above his head, and said suspiciously.

"I saw smoke coming out of the top of the mountain, and eighty percent of them were connected to the cave."

Shanzi added.

"Okay, it's better to connect, save these snakes in a nest, now get more fresh branches, push the fire inward, it will take a few days to smoke, and those little snakes can all leave......"

Not to mention that Dong Ku is busy with the cave of the base, the blockade in the Baoqing area has been seven days, and almost a division has been dispatched, but unfortunately, except for Hutou Village, where traces of rest can be found, there is no trace of this armed force. In the town of Dahe, a squadron had already arrived there, and the results of the survey showed that Kobayashi was in pieces, and all the one hundred and six soldiers he was carrying were killed; The cause of death was their own gas bomb.

"Where can they run?"

Commander Minamijiro rubbed his temples and frowned. This is the Americans again, and the Russians are again, and they can't guess the intentions of the other party, which gives him a headache.

After several studies, I couldn't guess how many people on the other side were, and I couldn't guess where the other party went, and finally, after discussion, I gave up the encirclement, but strengthened the guard force of each checkpoint in case of emergency.

After Dong Ku and the others were busy for more than three hours, when it was dark, the fire in the cave had advanced more than 30 meters, revealing the hot rocks, as long as they were covered with hay, it was definitely no worse than the fire kang.

At this point, Dong Ku's first home in this time and space can be regarded as settled......
