After crawling out of the quagmire, Li Yishui first glanced at the corpse behind him, because he was in the quagmire before, he couldn't see the panorama, but now when he stood on the shore and looked at the past, he somewhat understood why his son ran away.

The corpses struggled and writhed in the mire, just listening to the stickiness they made from the wriggling. Tired of the sound, Li Yishui couldn't help retching, and then looked at the way they opened their mouths and couldn't make a sound, the scene was really shocking.

Li Yishui couldn't help but shudder, and then looked at his savior, who was standing next to Li Yishui, looking at the scene in the quagmire, but his face was not shocked, as if he had long been accustomed to this scene.

Li Yishui stood up with his weak legs, bowed his hand to the man, and said:

"Thank you brother for the rescue!"

The man sighed at the quagmire, then turned to leave, ignoring Li Yishui.

Li Yishui knew that this person must know the inside story of the quagmire, so he trembled and followed, and the man glanced back, but he did not refuse.

Who knew that just after walking far, Li Yishui heard Li Shoude's shouting, he stopped and waited for a while, and saw Li Shoude running over with a bamboo pole in both hands.

Li Shoude was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Yishui, and then stepped forward and asked:

"Dad, why did you come out?"

After seeing Li Shoude, Li Yishui was angry, he glanced at Li Shoude lightly, and said coldly:

"Why, you are satisfied that Lao Tzu was bitten to death by them in the quagmire?"

When Li Shoude heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said with guilt:

"Dad, I'······ I was scared just now, I ······"

Li Yishui was very disappointed at this time, and he didn't bother to listen to Li Shoude's explanation, he raised his eyes and glanced at the life-saving benefactor, and the two took a step and continued to move forward.

Li Shoude stayed in place for a while, and then followed.

The two followed the mysterious man one after the other to the foot of a mountain cliff, only to see that the cliff was like a knife cut, the flat cliff wall was about 180 meters, in the middle of the cliff, there was a crack extending from the waist down to the bottom of the cliff, and some weeds and shrubs grew in the crack.

Li Yishui was looking at the nearby terrain, and suddenly saw the mysterious man walking to a few small trees at the crack, and in a flash, he disappeared!

Li Yishui hurriedly stepped forward to check, who knew that he approached the small tree and found that several small trees were intricately arranged, and there was a shoulder-wide path in the middle, if he didn't come to check on this path, he would never have found it.

At this time, Li Shoude also trotted all the way to Li Yishui, Li Yishui's original surprise mood, after seeing Li Shoude, disappeared in an instant.

The two of them pushed aside the path and walked into the gap, who knew that it was getting wider and wider, and it was getting smoother and smoother.

Li Yishui paused for a moment, and after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he realized that it was a cave.

The cave is only three or four meters wide, but it is about ten meters high, and there are stone walls on both sides, which are conical and close at the top.

Li Yishui walked in for a while, and he saw that the cave was getting narrower and narrower again, and in the end there was only a crack left, and there was a thin stream of water in the crack, and under the fine water there was a natural stone basin formed by the impact of water for many years, and the water that overflowed from the stone basin spread to the surrounding stone crevices, and finally disappeared.

The mysterious man put some hay on a stone platform next to the cave, and under the stone platform was a puddle of fire pit with a lot of firewood and ashes.

Li Yishui stepped forward and said again:

"Thank you brother for the rescue, dare to ask my brother's name?"

The mystery man did not answer, he pulled a handful of grass from the haystack, and then turned out a little spark in the fire pit, and he "hummed" and blew on the ground a few times, and the grass "crackled" and boiled.

The mysterious man pointed behind Li Shoude, who looked back and found that in the corner behind him, there was a large pile of branches of varying thickness.

Li Shoude hurriedly carried a bunch of branches and walked to the fire pit, and when the mysterious man saw it, he added the branches to the flame little by little.

After a while, Li Yishui felt the warmth brought by the fire pit, and the cave gradually became brighter.

The mysterious man pointed to Li Yishui and the natural stone basin again, and Li Yishui understood that he was asking himself to take off his muddy clothes and wash them.

In this situation, Li Yishui was not polite, he took off his essence at the moment, and washed the water in the cave happily, and Li Shoude on the side also took over the work of burning the fire with each other, while adding branches to the fire pit, and at the same time taking the clothes thrown by his father and baking them on the fire.

After Li Yishui finished washing, the two sat down cross-legged by the fire pit, and this time, under the illumination of the bonfire, Li Yishui finally saw the appearance of the mysterious person.

I saw that the man's hair was knotted, his beard was large, and the clothes on his body were not only tattered, but also exuded a sour smell.

The man's face was yellow, so thin that he was skinny and skinny, and he looked like he had been malnourished for a long time.

Li Yishui was unwilling and asked again, and the mysterious man sighed and finally spoke.

Who knew that as soon as this person opened his mouth, there was a thick Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent:

"Don't keep asking me my name, ala, I've been in the mountains for many years, and I've forgotten my name!"

Li Yishui was taken aback, although it is not a strange thing to meet people from the south and north of the mountains now, but in this Hunan and Jiangxi area, seeing such a "wild man" with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent will inevitably make people think about it more.

So, Li Yishui continued to ask, who knew this question, Li Yishui asked a bizarre story that made him stunned.

In 1949, the whole country was liberated, and most of the Kuomintang fled across the Taiwan Strait and stood in the water. However, a small number remained, and they secretly accepted Taiwan's command in an attempt to one day "recover" the Nationalist army, and this officer was one of them.

The officer, with the adjutant, and a platoon of soldiers, together with a bandit leader named Deng Tiedan, were entrenched in the nearby mountains, and the house where Li Yishui and his son settled before was their base camp.

At first, this gang of ruffians and bandits was able to quietly engage in some sabotage activities, but as the struggle against bandits that began in the past 50 years deepened, the scope of activities of this gang was greatly restricted, until in the end, these people were trapped in the mountains and did not dare to go down.

Once, when the People's Liberation Army arrived nearby, the group of people got the news, so they hid everywhere, and accidentally discovered this cave, so in order to avoid the People's Liberation Army, a group of people began to run back and forth in the cottage and the cave.

After a long time, the materials in the cottage began to be in short supply, and there were contradictions between the Kuomintang soldiers led by the officers and the bandits led by Deng Tiedan.

As a result of the firefight, most of the dead and wounded were killed, Deng Tietan fled down the mountain with the remaining bandits, and the officers and more than a dozen soldiers of the national army still hid in the mountain.

These soldiers of the national army all have guns, and there is still some food in the village, which was originally not enough for everyone to eat, but this time after the fire, the death and escape escaped, and there were dozens of people missing at once, and the food was enough for these people to eat for a month or two, so there was no problem with the survival of several people for the time being.

The officer was also a far-sighted man, and he knew that it was not a way to sit and eat in this way, and it was even more impossible to escape from the mountain with these people, so he took his subordinates to touch wild vegetables and cultivate fields on the mountain, and made a long-term plan.

Speaking of those corpses, the officer said that he first dug a pit and buried his brothers one by one, and then dug a big pit and threw the corpses of all the bandits into it, he said that the big pit was the quagmire that Li Yishui saw, but when he dug it at that time, the pit was not as big as it is now.

Li Yishui asked the officer, how did the pit get bigger? Could it be that it will grow up on its own?

The officer said, "Why are you in a hurry, you will know if you listen to me slowly!"

The officer said that he noticed the anomaly one night, and that night it rained heavily, lightning and thunder.

There was a wounded soldier among them, probably an infected wound, who had not recovered, and by the evening the soldier had only one breath left.

The officer ordered people to take turns to take care of the soldier, saying that he did not want him to lie there alone, but before midnight, the soldier kicked his legs and went up to the western sky.

The officer closed the soldier's eyes, intending to bury him and his brothers the next day.

Everyone carried the corpse of the soldier to a side room, found a mattress, covered it, and went back to rest.

In the middle of the night, the officer was in a hurry to urinate, and when he heard a movement in the direction of the house, he walked over with a pistol and found that it was the soldier wandering around the house.

It was so dark that the officer could not see the soldier's face clearly, and he thought that the soldier had been resurrected, and he shouted the soldier's name with joy, but the soldier did not respond as if he had not heard, and still limped around the house.

The officer took the pistol, opened the door and called the soldier, who knew that as soon as he put his hand on the soldier's shoulder, the soldier turned his head sharply and put his arms around the officer.

Only then did the officer see the soldier's face clearly in the dim light, but where was it a living human face, the soldier's pupils were dilated, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was strangely half-open, and he didn't know whether to speak or want to bite.

The officer immediately understood that there was something wrong with the soldier and wanted to break free, but the soldier's hand did not know where a strange strength was born, and the officer struggled for a long time but could not break free.

In desperation, the officer screamed, which woke up the others, who ran over to help the officer undress and get rid of the soldier's hand.

In the end, there are many people, although the soldier has great strength, but he can't help so many people, and soon, everyone "subdued" the soldier.

The soldier was tied to a pillar with several belts, and his mouth was wide open as if he were about to shout, but he could not make any sound.

Everyone didn't know why, and they speculated about various reasons, some people said it was a corpse, some people said it was a zombie, and so on, in short, everyone didn't think it was a living person.

When the officer heard what the brothers had said, he wanted to save the brother, so he took out a dagger and stabbed it into the soldier's chest.
