In the late forties of the last century, Jin Taihang Mountain, a communist team encountered an enemy ambush during the battle, only three people were forced to sneak into a cave in the hinterland of Taihang in the middle of the night, at this time it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was the roundest and largest period, the terrible thing is, I don't know if it was an illusion, the moon seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood, the Taihang in the middle of the night was extremely quiet, the silence made people sweat coldly, only the bonfire in the cave made a deflagration sound from time to time.

"How can I get it, Erdan's leg is seriously injured, and if you go out, you will be sent to death" The person who spoke was surnamed Wang, speaking a Jin dialect, with dark skin, well-developed limbs, and a ten-centimeter scar on his face, he was the leader of this team, and next to him lay the wounded man called Erdan, the wound on his leg was very serious, and there was already a little pus and blood flowing out, but it was simply bandaged and treated, and the person was in a coma.

"Team Wang, this group of grandsons is too not human, you said that they are all Chinese, and they are so heavy." A young man who looked weak took off his glasses and wiped the blood on his face, "Now like this, Brother Erdan must not be able to leave, let's rest here for a while, my hometown is in the mountains, some herbs can still be recognized, I will go out to find it, and when Brother Erdan's legs are better, we will find a way to get out." ”

"Then this wow, Xiao Wang, you are a descendant doll on the first mission, you met this, as the old saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, I will go out and return to the army to keep up with the head and praise you, if you don't find this place, we would have died in the hands of the group of mad dogs" The two looked at each other and smiled.

The moment the laughter stopped, there was a strange sound suddenly from inside the cave, like a woman's cry, and like the neighing of a wild cat, the two were stunned, but after all, both of them were soldiers, and Xiao Wang grew up in the mountains, this often happens in the mountains, the two didn't care much, but they just let the two of them completely walk out of the emotion of fleeing just now, and then the two remembered to take a look at the cave where they were, Wang Team stood up and looked around carefully, he looked at the fallen gravel on the ground, Picked one up, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then frowned

"What's wrong, Team Wang?" Xiao Wang took out a torch from the bonfire and walked to the Wang team.

"You see, there seems to be a painting on this stone," Wang said, handing the stone to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang, who had read books before and was a member of the Wen Corps, picked up the stone, looked around, and found that it had fallen from the stone wall.

"I have been to Dunhuang with the army before, and I have also seen this kind of painting in Jinyang, but the one I saw is a little different, although the style of painting is similar, but the content is a little different."

"I'm a layman, I don't understand this, you just tell me what's different about this painting" Team Wang was obviously a little impatient, in his eyes, painting is painting, all paintings are no different, it's just that this is an ancient mural, that's all.

Xiao Wang ignored it, smiled helplessly and continued, "This painting is painted with ladies, combined with the style of painting, it should be a mural of the Tang Dynasty, I have seen a lot of ladies, but there are a few places in this painting that are very strange," Xiao Wang wiped his glasses and put them back on and said, "First of all, these ladies' faces are painted with red paint, which is rare." ”

After speaking, Xiao Wang rummaged through the rubble on the ground again, picked up a stone, on which was only half of a lady's body, and after observing it for a while, he handed it to Team Wang.

Team Wang asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" ”

"You smell that red paint," Xiao Wang pointed to the stone.

Hearing this, Team Wang was suddenly stunned and looked at Xiao Wang with a solemn expression.

Without waiting for Team Wang to speak, Xiao Wang said, "That's right, captain, this is not a pigment, this cave is located in a low place, and it is easy to flood this place if it rains a lot, and it is impossible for mineral pigments such as cinnabar not to fade, and this color is so deep that it has penetrated into the small pores on this stone wall."

"It's ...... Blood! Team Wang said in a deep voice, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and although the smell was very light, he could still smell the rust on the stone, "You say, what does this painting mean?" ”

"I don't know, but it can be seen that it looks like a sacrificial event," Wang replied.

"This Tang Dynasty people like to go to the grave of their ancestors like this, smearing blood on women, it's really fucking insightful." Team Wang sat down by the bonfire as he spoke, took out a dry and hard cake, broke it into three parts and threw it to Xiao Wang, and lay on the straw next to the bonfire, like a person listening to a story.

"This was all a thousand years ago, and it has long been impossible to verify." Xiao Wang smiled and sat down in front of the campfire. The two chatted for a while and then fell asleep.

After sleeping for about two or three hours, the two woke up to the sound of the second egg.

"I'm scared to death, second egg, you're so good, you're happy when the wound opens." Team Wang rubbed his eyes and said.

"Are you better, Brother Erdan, let's drink some water." Xiao Wang took the porcelain jar cup that was kept warm by the bonfire and handed it to Erdan.

"What's wrong with me, it's just that my leg hurts, brothers?" Erdan said.

Team Wang and Xiao Wang were silent for a long time, and the second egg lowered his head, and the eyes of these three people were already moist.

The flames of the bonfire flickered, and Xiao Wang walked out of the cave to find that there was endless darkness outside, and a few lightning bolts fell from the mountains in the distance from time to time.

"Looks like it's going to rain." Xiao Wang said, and was suddenly attracted by a few fires on the hillside in the distance, "Someone! Captain! ”

"I'll take a look, and you don't move yet." Before the words fell, Team Wang disappeared into the darkness. Xiao Wang took the kerosene he brought and the strips of cloth he tore off to make a few simple torches, extinguished the bonfire, packed up his things with Erdan, and waited for news from Team Wang.

After about ten minutes, Wang's team came out of the grass in front of the cave, "Oh no, it is estimated that the Kuomintang people are afraid that we will escape from the mountain to report the situation, so they sent two teams of people from both sides of the cave, at least thirty people, his grandmother's." ”

Xiao Wang and Erdan were at a loss for what to do with panic on their faces, and Team Wang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Let's go, hurry up and run into the hole." ”

Xiao Wang supported the second egg, and the Wang team opened the way in front, the cave was dark, and the two torches could only illuminate a small piece in front, and the upper end of the cave wall was very low, and the three people could only barely move forward when they bent over, and the whole cave had traces of artificial development, but there were murals, and these traces would not seem strange.

I don't know how long I walked, the stone wall above gradually rose, and the three of them gradually stretched.

"Hurry up, we're out ahead!" Team Wang shouted in front, "Damn, the sky is the ...... of the world" Before he finished speaking, Team Wang suddenly stepped on the air and fell down heavily.

"Team Wang!" "Lao Wang!" The two on top did not dare to move forward.

After more than ten seconds, the voice of Team Wang came from below, "I don't have to do anything!" It's a slope! I'm rolling to a platform."

When the two heard this, they lowered the torch to their knees and slowly moved forward, the slope angle was not large, but it was very long, and it was about more than 20 meters to the platform where Wang's team was.
