Chapter 8: The Fog (1)
36
There seemed to be people walking around, people roaring, and people moaning.
The bats chirped, their voices filled with hatred and cruelty.
Zhong Fei was dazed, half-asleep and half-awake, at this time, he could no longer feel the presence of his body, and the little consciousness that still existed made his soul float with the ghosts in the cave.
A corpse crawled up from the floor of the cave and walked tremblingly in front of Zhong Fei.
Zhong Fei couldn't see the eye sockets on his skull clearly, he could only faintly listen to him, Zhong Fei heard clearly, he said that his name was Yataro, he was born in a fisherman's family in Hokkaido, and the war brought him to China, to the tip of the plum blossom.
How could a Chinese army suddenly appear at the peak of the plum blossom spire, and the Japanese invading army attempting to enter the Phoenix Mountains from here was not expected.
One of their wings was blocked south of the Plum Blossom Spire.
After a long time of attacking, the commander of the wing selected twenty soldiers with extraordinary skills to form an assault team, led by a squad leader called Itatian, lightly climbed over the cliff of another mountain, and entered the plum blossom peak, their task was to copy the back of the plum blossom peak, raid the Chinese defenders, and cooperate with the troops to capture the position of the plum blossom peak.
They struggled to reach the tip of the plum blossom in a few days.
They lurk quietly in the jungle.
The main peak of the plum blossom tip was quiet, and there was no movement at all.
Itada picked up the binoculars and looked up the position.
The smoke has not yet cleared.
The Chinese soldiers on the position lay on the edge of the trench, motionless.
Itada felt like they were all asleep.
He called over to a soldier, whispered a few words to him, and then ordered his men to aim their guns at their positions.
The Japanese soldier quietly reached behind the position.
At this time, the sky was overcast and there was not a hint of wind.
The air seemed to freeze.
The Japanese soldier stopped a dozen meters from the trench, where he lay down, holding a gun in one hand and feeling a small stone on the ground with the other, and threw it towards the side of the trench.
The stone fell on the body of a Chinese soldier, who remained motionless.
The rest of the Chinese soldiers were also motionless.
The Japanese soldiers stood up and walked to the trench with their guns in hand.
He was astonished to find that there was not a single living person in the trench of the position, but only more than thirty corpses, lying on the edge of the trench, still holding guns in their hands, as if ready to shoot at the invading enemy.
The Japanese soldier was about to signal Itada when suddenly a bullet flew over and hit the Japanese soldier in the eyebrows.
The Japanese soldier fell.
Itada saw him fall through the binoculars when a fog suddenly rose from the top of the mountain.
Itada couldn't see anything, and he was taken aback by the strange rising mist.
The fog quickly spread towards the jungle where Itada was hiding, and finally enveloped them.
The mist has been spreading in the jungle of the plum blossom tip until it fills the entire plum blossom tip.
In the thick fog, Itada couldn't see clearly a few meters away, and at this moment, a bullet flew from somewhere, hitting the head of a soldier next to Itata, who fell sullenly at Itada's feet.
Itada panicked and hurriedly asked the soldiers to hide.
He thought that when the fog cleared, he would find a way to rush to the top of the mountain.
Itada never thought that the fog did not disperse at night, and it never dispersed again.
Fears followed.
Itada sensed danger, and they were unusually unfamiliar with the jungle at the tip of the plum blossom.
In the dark, they lost their way.
Itada led the soldiers around the jungle and soon became dizzy.
He was worried that the squad he led would soon be wiped out by the Chinese soldiers, and even if they were not wiped out, the potential danger in the jungle was also threatening them.
Itada could only hope that after dawn, if the fog cleared, he might be able to lead his soldiers out of the eerie jungle at the tip of the plum blossoms.
What he never imagined was that his idea would never come true.
They camped among several large pine trees and strengthened their vigilance.
Itada sat anxiously under a tree.
At this time, a soldier lit a cigarette.
When Itada saw the cigarette butt that was extinguished, he immediately thought of the bullet that flew from somewhere, and he was about to ask the soldier to extinguish the cigarette butt, when he heard a "bang-" sound, and the bullet passed through the heavy fog and shot into the soldier's mouth, and the cigarette butt was also smashed.
The hearts of Itada and the soldiers lifted.
They simply can't do anything with the man who shot the gun.
No one knows if it was a human or a ghost who shot it.
Itada clearly saw that there was not a single living person in the trench of the position, who fired these bullets? If there had been a large force of Chinese troops, they would have surrounded them long ago and annihilated them; Even if there are still a small number of troops left, they will not choose such a method of fighting alone, releasing cold guns in the dark.
Fear gripped their souls.
Who will die next? It seemed that there was no way to stay in the camp, and Itada ordered the soldiers to move.
Where are they going? Where is the safe place? Itada and his soldiers cautiously groped their way through the dark jungle, fearing that the bullets would suddenly come and hit them with every step they took.
The Plum Blossom Tip Jungle is like a huge and terrifying tomb at this time, and they will be buried at any time.
Itada saw the fire.
Yes, it was a firelight.
It was as if a man was moving slowly through the jungle with a torch.
Itada's eyes were also on fire.
Is this the one who shot in the dark? He really wanted to catch this man and see if this man had three eyes and could accurately shoot his soldiers in the dark.
The torch was moving a dozen meters away from them.
Itada muttered a few times to the soldiers, and the three soldiers scattered around the torches.
The sound of wheezing spread in the thick fog.
Itada heard the voice, and the three soldiers heard it too, and the sound made them panic.
The three soldiers saw that the torches suddenly stopped moving.
As they approached the torches, they saw that the torches were placed on the branches of a tree, and there was not a single ghost under the tree, while the three soldiers were exposed to the firelight.
Of the three soldiers, one of them is Yataro.
They all sensed something was wrong.
Yataro hurriedly fell to the ground and buried his head in the grass.
The other soldier also fell to his stomach in a hurry.
Another soldier hesitated for a moment, and was hit by a bullet flying in the darkness, and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
Itada, who was hiding behind, rolled his eyes in anger and gritted his teeth.
He thought that if he caught this person, whether he was a human or a ghost, he would have to break his body into pieces.
But how could he catch this man? Their own fate is not yet known in whose hands.
The torch flickered a few times in the thick fog, and a few wisps of black smoke came out, and then it was extinguished.
The jungle was plunged into darkness again.
Itada felt that this place really couldn't stay for long, so he continued to grope in the jungle with his soldiers.
In fact, Itada didn't know where the end of the jungle was.
They have long since lost their way.
Itada's compass also lost its effect.
Itada had no choice but to wait until dawn.
He sat against a large tree, closed his eyes, and held a pistol tightly in his hand.
The soldiers were on guard around Itada, not daring to be sloppy in the slightest.
A daring Japanese soldier quietly left them and groped into the jungle alone.
He felt the man hibernating very close to them.
The Japanese soldiers heard the singing as they walked.
It was a woman's singing, and he couldn't understand what the woman was singing, but his animality was stimulated by the woman's singing.
The Japanese soldier groped in the direction of the song.
The Japanese soldier thought that maybe it was the singing woman who shot at them, and that he must capture her tonight......
The Japanese soldier felt that he was soon approaching the song.
Yes, the song became so real that it seemed to ring in his ears.
The Japanese soldier tiptoed over.
He couldn't see anything clearly, but he could smell the distinctive smell emanating from the woman's body.
The woman's singing voice suddenly disappeared.
The Japanese soldier felt that the woman was right in front of his eyes, at most just over a meter away, and he heard the woman's breathing.
He stopped.
Did he shoot, or did he pounce and catch her? Time does not allow him to think too much, what if the other party shoots first? The woman didn't seem to notice him, for the song began again, and she sang so calmly that she didn't feel the danger at all.
The Japanese soldier smirked silently in the darkness, and he carried his gun diagonally behind his back.
Then, like a wolf, he pounced on the woman! The Japanese soldiers did not pounce on the woman.
He fell into a deep trap.
Before the Japanese soldiers could scream, several large rocks fell from the top of the trap......
37
The chattering Yataro talks in the dark and draws the bones of his hands.
Zhong Fei couldn't see clearly what he looked like when he compared the hand bones, he could still feel the wind that came out when he drew the hand bones in the daz, and the cool wind made Zhong Fei shiver constantly.
He wanted to say to Yataro: "You get out of the way, I don't want to hear what you say, I already know what you said, aren't you carved on the stone wall!" You abominable skeleton, get out of the way! β
However, he couldn't speak, and it was like a sticky mass in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't swallow it.
Zhong Fei suddenly heard a shout.
A lot of people are shouting.
He couldn't make out whose names they were calling.
But he understood that it must be someone who had come up the mountain to find their Phoenix Village.
Zhong Fei tried hard to sit up, but his body was as heavy as a boulder.
Yataro seemed to hear the shouts as well, and he stopped his ramblings.
The cave fell silent, and the shouts from the jungle outside the cave became clearer and clearer.
Zhong Fei's heart spontaneously sparked a flame of hope, and he lay there, hoping that those who were looking for it would find this cave, and if he could shout, he would also cry out for help.
Zhong Fei's mood is very complicated.
Will they be able to find the cave? In fact, those who shouted didn't even know that there was a cave here, and that Zhong Fei was trapped in this terrible cave.
Those shouts gradually faded away, and the flame of hope that had finally burned in Zhong Fei's heart was extinguished little by little.
After the shouting completely disappeared, the skeleton named Yataro reached out and touched Zhong Fei's red and festering face, and his hand bones slashed across Zhong Fei's face like thorns, and Zhong Fei heard the sound of instigation.
Yataro said sadly: "They won't come to save you, they won't!" No one can find this place. You will be here with us, you will die, your blood will be sucked dry by bats, your flesh will rot into mud little by little, and you will become a white skeleton......
Listen to me, I've been a talkative kid since I was a kid, I've been here for years, and no one listens to me. I'm suffocated, really suffocated, now, you're here, just listen to me, don't want to go out, you're like us, you'll never be able to leave here......"
Zhong Fei couldn't hold his breath and passed out.
The skeleton named Yataro was still babbling about his story, whether Chung Fei wanted to listen to it or not.
It's dawn.
When Itada took the roll call, he found that there was one person missing, in fact, last night, everyone heard the woman's singing, and no one thought that the soldier would be lured by the song and die in a trap not far from them.
Itada and his men followed the soldier's footsteps in the thick fog to find the trap.
When they got the soldier up, they found that his head had been stoned to pieces, and his brain was bleeding out, and it had clotted with blood......
Itata's face was gloomy, and two words popped out between his teeth: "Eight grids!" β
The others looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Itata's squad had not yet really engaged the Chinese army before four soldiers had died.
Itada was hateful and anxious in his heart, this damn fog was still so thick that it couldn't be dispersed, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
During the day, it is much better than in the night.
At the very least, everyone can see each other's faces, as long as they don't go too far.
There was a smell of gunsmoke in the thick fog.
Itada walked cautiously through the jungle with his soldiers.
They walked in one direction by feeling, and Itada thought that if they kept going in this direction, they could reach the end of the jungle.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of intense gunfire.
Could it be that their troops are attacking the peak of the plum blossom tip again? But the pinnacle of the plum blossom tip is the corpse of Chinese soldiers, what kind of army are they fighting against? Itada was puzzled.
Just yesterday, Itada wanted to report the situation of the plum blossom spire to the commander of the wing, but their walkie-talkie was out of order, and they couldn't get in touch with the wing, and the walkie-talkie made a rustling sound when it was adjusted to any frequency that could be contacted, and no matter how they called, they just couldn't reach each other.
Last night, Itada asked the caller to try to contact the team again, but there was still no way to communicate with the team.
Now, Itada listened to the sound of gunfire coming from the top of the mountain, and his heart was burning.
He asked the telegraph behind him to turn on the intercom, and the telegraph shouted loudly with the microphone, and a rustling sound sounded in his headphones, but he couldn't hear the answer from the wing.
After a while, there was a burst of singing in the headphones, a rich baritone singing voice in Chinese.
How is this possible? The announcer handed the headset to the squad leader Itatian, who was frowning, and Itada also heard the song, and he knew that it was the military song of China's New Fourth Army.
How could the military song of the New Fourth Army ring on the radio? Could it be that the main force of the New Fourth Army ate the wing? Impossible, impossible! Itada could tell from the sound of gunfire from the top of the mountain that their army was still attacking the peak of the plum blossom spire.
Itada angrily threw the headset back into the operator's hand.
With a pistol in his hand, he said to the soldiers: "Go to the top of the mountain!" β
They reached in the direction where the guns were coming from.
They couldn't get to the top of the mountain, and the fog made them dizzy in the jungle.
After the gunfire died down, the summit returned to tranquility, and they could not find the exact direction to the peak of the plum blossom in the fog.
Itada screamed in annoyance, pulled out his Japanese saber, and slashed wildly in the jungle.
The mysterious jungle and fog have made them ineffective.
Itada was also worried about whether the mysterious gunman would suddenly shoot a bullet......
Is that a ghost gun? Thinking of this, the violent and murderous Captain Itada didn't even shudder.
If he can't get out of the misty jungle for a while, he must find a place to defend, otherwise they will always be exposed to the eyes of the ghost gun, if it is really a ghost gun, their lives may be taken by the mysterious ghost gun at any time.
Itada continued to grope his way through the misty jungle with his soldiers.
Suddenly, Yataro saw a large snake with a triangular head slipping out of a vine-shaded mountain wall.
He exclaimed, pointing at the snake.
Itada also saw the snake.
He saw Yataro's frightened appearance, cursed something, rushed over, and chopped off the snake's head with a knife.
The head of the snake flew up and shot at Itada's face like a bullet, and the well-trained Itada heard the cold wind of the snake's head, and shrewdly turned his head, and the head of the snake shot into the face of a soldier behind him.
The head of the snake slammed into the nose of the Japanese soldier and bit it hard.
The soldier's eyes widened with terror, and the head of a snake was more terrifying than a bullet.
Itada and the others didn't have time to get the snake's head off his nose, and the soldier was speechless, two lines of black blood flowed from his nose, and his face gradually turned black, and he fell to the grass on the ground with convulsions.
Neither Itada nor the soldiers spoke, and they watched with different expressions as the soldier died in agony in convulsions......
The air seems to be frozen, is there a greater danger waiting for this group of invaders in the fog? Itada gasped.
Still he broke the silence of fear, Itada roared, swinging his knife towards the green vines on the mountain wall where the poisonous snake slipped out......
Itada's sword-wielding hand stopped in mid-air, and after he saw the green vines fall to the ground, a hole appeared on the stone mountain wall that could only be drilled into one person, and there was originally a cave.
Itada was pleasantly surprised, this cave was now the best hiding place for them.
Itada turned to Yataro, who was still in a panic, and said, "You go in and have a look!" β
Yataro glanced at the head of the snake on the dead soldier's nose and stood there motionless.
Itada's face became very ugly, he pointed his knife at Yataro, and said gloomily, "Go in!" β
Yataro knew the consequences of disobeying orders, and there was no choice but to enter the black cave tremblingly.
A damp breath from the cave rushed towards him.
It seems to smell like a snake.
Yataro turned on his flashlight and shone it into the depths of the cave.
To his surprise, the cave was deep and large.
The cave was empty, and Yataro's footsteps echoed clearly.
There was no one in the cave, and no poisonous snake was found, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the snake wouldn't suddenly burst out of some dark corner and give him a fatal blow.
He found a pile of ashes in the center of the cave, and a pile of dry wood next to the ashes.
There must have been people who have stayed here, and it can be seen that there are not many people, maybe hunters from the Phoenix Mountains or something, who have stayed here.
The traces of someone being there gave Yataro a sense of security in his heart, proving that this was not a place where snakes were entrenched.
Yataro kept walking into the cave.
The more you go, the colder it gets.
He saw a narrow place, like a door.
He walked through the narrow place, and found that there was a large place inside, and then it was all over the place, and there was no exit in it.
Yataro didn't find any humans or snakes inside, and there was nothing empty, and Yataro put down a heart that had been raised to his throat at this time.
Yataro couldn't wait to walk out of the cave.
Itada heard the voice and became vigilant.
The soldiers were also vigilant.
Yataro walked out of the cave and said to Itada, "Report, it's a big cave inside, and there's nothing in it!" β
Itada looked left and right, and was the first to burrow into the cave.
Yataro followed him, and the caller got in.
At this time, in the dense fog of the jungle, the sound is getting closer and closer.
As soon as the last soldier's head reached into the cave and stepped forward to his right foot, the sound in the jungle stopped.
The last soldier's left leg had barely entered the hole when a bullet flew through the thick fog and pierced behind the knee of the soldier's left leg.

Zhang Datou and the others returned to the village and quickly put Shen Yuyu on the bed in his guest room.
Shen Yuyu is still talking nonsense: "Please take me awayβtake me out of this placeβI want to hear you sing, singβ"
Zhang Datou instructed the seventh sister-in-law: "You go and fetch a basin of water, wipe her body, change her into clean clothes, the clothes are in her bag, you can find them yourself-"
The seventh sister-in-law stood there and didn't move: "What about Xiuxiu?" β
Zhang Datou said in a low voice, "Go quickly-"
The seventh sister-in-law cried with a sad face, and did what Zhang Datou said, she remembered her daughter Zhang Xiuxiu in her heart, if Zhang Xiuxiu had three long and two short, then she had the heart to die.
Zhang Datou and Zhang Hongliang walked out of the room.
Zhang Datou said: "Hongliang, I think that sending her to the town now is afraid that it will delay the matter, you hurry up and call Zhang Beifeng over and ask him to treat Shen Yuyu first." β
Zhang Hongliang agreed and left neatly.
Zhang Datou likes Zhang Hongliang, and never discounts what he tells him, and is his most powerful assistant in Phoenix Village.
After Zhang Hongliang left.
Zhang Datou said to the others: "You go back to rest first, I don't think there is a way to go up the mountain to find Xiuxiu now, let's wait until dawn." β
Everyone was reluctant to leave, Zhang Xiuxiu didn't find it, and they were sad.
Zhang Datou sighed and said: "Because of Xiuxiu, it's hard for everyone, I really don't want to go, let's go back and rest, Xiuxiu depends on her own creation, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky!" β
Zhang Datou said that when it came to this, everyone was just waiting for Ai Ai to leave one after another.
Zhang Beifeng is a local doctor in Fenghuang Village, and he can use Chinese herbal medicine to deal with general headaches and brain fever, and it is said that he has also received the guidance of a master, and is now studying the use of Chinese herbal medicine to treat some incurable diseases.
Under normal circumstances, if the people of Fenghuang Village have any serious illness, they will not look for him, but go directly to the hospital in the town or county town for treatment.
Zhang Beifeng was soon led by Zhang Hongliang.
I heard that it was for college students from Shanghai to see a doctor, and this middle-aged man was a little flattered.
Zhang Datou saw Zhang Beifeng come in and said to him, "Thank you for your hard work!" β
Zhang Beifeng said repeatedly: "It's not hard, it's not hard!" This is what I should do. β
Zhang Datou said: "You wait a while, your seventh sister-in-law is still wiping her body, and you will go in again after changing your clothes." β
Zhang Hongliang found a bench and sat down, and he said to Zhang Beifeng: "Beifeng, you can sit down for a while." β
Zhang Beifeng also sat down, smiling all over his face.
Zhang Datou handed Zhang Beifeng a cigarette.
Zhang Beifeng pushed away the hand he handed over the cigarette and said, "Village chief, I don't smoke, I never smoke." β
Zhang Datou let out a "oh" and handed the cigarette to Zhang Hongliang.
Zhang Hongliang took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, lit it for Zhang Datou first, and then lit the cigarette in his mouth.
Zhang Datou spat out a thick puff of smoke and said, "Hongliang, why don't you go back to sleep for a while, I'll call you again if there's anything." β
Zhang Hongliang smiled and said, "I've slept all afternoon, and now I don't feel sleepy." I'll stay with you, and I'll give you a hand if there's anything I can do. β
After a while, the seventh sister-in-law walked out of the room with the dirty clothes that Shen Yuyu had changed.
Zhang Datou took Zhang Beifeng into the room.
Zhang Hongliang still sat in the hall outside and smoked.
The seventh sister-in-law put Shen Yuyu's dirty clothes aside, walked up to Zhang Hongliang and said, "Hongliang, will something big happen to you in Xiuxiu?" My heart is rotten like tofu dregs. β
Zhang Hongliang said: "Auntie, don't worry, it's useless to be anxious, I think Xiuxiu will be fine." If Shen Yuyu woke up, she might know where Xiuxiu was. β
The seventh sister-in-law sighed and said nothing.
After Zhang Beifeng entered the room with Zhang Datou, he sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand, turned Shen Yuyu's eyelids up and looked at it, and then checked Shen Yuyu's pulse.
After a while, Zhang Beifeng said to Zhang Datou: "She shouldn't have any big problems, but she was cold and frightened, and now the problem is to let her get the fever down." I'll go home now, bring some herbs, boil it for her to drink, cover it with a quilt, and sweat again, and it should be fine. β
Zhang Datou said suspiciously: "It's that simple? β
Zhang Beifeng smiled: "Then how complicated do you say?" β
Zhang Beifeng walked out of the door of the room and walked towards the gate of Zhang Datou's house.
Zhang Datou also walked out of the door of the room and said to Zhang Hongliang: "Zhang Beifeng finished reading it in a while, saying that it is not a big problem, he will go home to get the medicine now, do you think Zhang Beifeng will misdiagnose?" If that's the case, how can we explain to Shen Yuyu's family? β
Zhang Hongliang said: "Although Beifeng is usually chattering, he is still a good person, he shouldn't talk nonsense, let's take a look first." β
Zhang Beifeng quickly brought the herbs, and he handed the herbs to the seventh sister-in-law: "You can use two bowls of water to boil one bowl of water." β
The seventh sister-in-law took the herbs with a sad expression and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Datou's three people gossiped there one after another......
The seventh sister-in-law helped Shen Yuyu, and Zhang Beifeng fed the medicinal soup into Shen Yuyu's mouth spoonful by spoonful.
Zhang Datou and Zhang Hongliang smoked cigarettes and stood aside and watched.
The seventh sister-in-law's face was full of sorrow, and Zhang Beifeng's expression was very focused when she fed Shen Yuyu medicinal soup, as if she was doing something very important.
After feeding the medicinal soup, the seventh sister-in-law put Shen Yuyu flat on the bed, and Zhang Beifeng put the quilt on Shen Yuyu's body.
Zhang Datou said: "On such a hot day, it won't cover her up, right?" β
Zhang Beifeng smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry." β
Zhang Beifeng raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said, "It's two o'clock, she should wake up at about three o'clock, now let her sweat, and there will be nothing to do." β
They walked out of the room and sat down in the hall again talking.
Zhang Datou kept smoking.
At this moment, a man ran in and said to Zhang Datou, "Village Chief, something is wrongβ"
Zhang Datou stared at the man's frightened face and said, "You slow down, what's wrong?" β
The man said: "Zhang Changfa has a woman crying in his house. β
Zhang Datou said, "Do you see a woman inside?" β
The man said: "Zhang Changfa's door is locked, how can I see inside, I lay down after I went back from you, I don't know how, I peed a lot tonight, and I was going to go to the thatched house after lying down for a while, when I passed by the door of Zhang Changfa's house, I heard a woman's cry inside, no, I hurried overββ"
Zhang Datou groaned and said, "There is such a strange thing? β
Zhang Hongliang said on the side: "Is Xiuxiu crying at the long-haired house?" β
Zhang Datou patted his head and said, "There is this possibility, let's go, let's go and see!" β
They went out of the gate with flashlights and walked to Zhang Changfa's house.
When they came to Zhang Changfa's house, they really heard the cry of a desolate woman coming from Zhang Changfa's house.
Zhang Changfa's house was dark.
Zhang Datou unlocked the door of Zhang Changfa's house, and they walked in with a flashlight.
Zhang Datou shone a flashlight into the hall and shouted: "Xiuxiu, are you crying-"
As soon as Zhang Datou's words fell, the woman's cry disappeared.
Zhang Changfa's home instantly became eerie.
Zhang Datou: They searched for Zhang Changfa's home one by one.
They searched every corner of Zhang Changfa's house, but they didn't find a single figure, but in Zhang Chang's bedroom before the incident, they found that the wooden window was open, and the wind blew, and the wooden window swayed, making a sound of "clang" and "clang".
The sound was heart-wrenching.
Zhang Datou said: "I clearly closed the windows of his house, how could it be opened?" Why is the crying woman gone? β

When Zhu Li woke up, the fire in the cave was still burning.
The monster was missing from the cave.
He looked at the ground for blood from his body to determine if the monster had shot him.
There was no blood under his feet, but there was a puddle of wet water, which was his urine.
What time is it, Zhu Future is unconscious.
The monster is not in the cave, where will he go? Will you go and catch Shen Yuyu too? Thinking of Shen Yuyu, Zhu Future's heart was in pain.
He had no way to find Zhong Fei, and he was not able to protect Shen Yuyu, his strength was so weak.
Now, Zhong Fei's life and death are uncertain, Shen Yuyu doesn't know what happened, and he himself doesn't know what the consequences will be......
Zhu Future struggled with his hands tied behind his back with rattans, to no avail, he couldn't break free at all.
Zhu Fufu smelled a fishy smell.
It was the fishy smell of the snake soup in the steel helmet that cooled down.
Zhu Future's stomach churned.
Usually he didn't dare to think about the appearance of snakes, but now that he remembered that he had eaten a piece of snake meat, which did relieve his hunger.
Zhu Future was tormented by the smell of snakes, and his stomach turned over the river, and he couldn't vomit if he wanted to.
He felt a snake enter his stomach and burrow and bite in his stomach.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Zhu Future's forehead.
He seemed to hear the snake cooing in his stomach.
Zhu Future's face turned pale.
The feeling was as bad as the monster aiming a gun at his head.
Zhu Future was also worried that a snake would slip out of a corner of the cave, swim towards him, wrap around his body, and then bite him one bite at a time, and he was bitten all over his body......
Zhu Future closed his eyes, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that he would collapse.
Time flies very slowly.
He thought, if Zhang Xiuxiu really asked her father Zhang Datou to bring people to look for it, would they be able to find this cave?
40
Zhang Xiuxiu lay on the body of her blind mother-in-law, feeling that she was usually indifferent, and she was very warm.
What would she have done now if she hadn't rescued her from that trap for the blind mother-in-law? That's unimaginable.
The blind mother-in-law held her hand like her grandmother held her hand.
Zhang Xiuxiu's grandmother believed in Buddhism, and she ate vegetarian food for more than 40 years, and finally died without illness.
At that time, Zhang Xiuxiu was only eight years old.
At noon that day, after grandma cooked and ate by herself, she sat on the rattan chair in the middle hall, and Zhang Xiuxiu walked up to her grandmother and wanted to talk to her grandmother.
Unexpectedly, grandma said to her in a daze, "Xiuxiu, I'm leaving-"
Zhang Xiuxiu felt that her grandmother was very strange today, so she asked her, "Grandma, where are you going?" β
Grandma smiled and said, "I'm leaving, I'm going to a far place, look, many bodhisattvas have come to pick me up, they are sitting on the clouds, there are Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Jizo King Bodhisattva, and ......
They're going to pick me up, Xiu-"
After Grandma finished speaking, she collapsed on the wicker chair, tilted her head and left the world......
The blind mother-in-law at this time, just like her grandmother, warms her and protects her.
Zhang Xiuxiu called softly and affectionately: "Grandma-"
The blind mother-in-law's voice trembled: "Xiuxiu, what did you call me just now?" β
Zhang Xiuxiu called softly again: "Grandma-"
The blind mother-in-law was obviously very excited: "Yes, yes, child, I am your grandmother, I am your grandmother!" β
At that moment, a sound sounded in the jungle outside the cave.
The blind mother-in-law immediately whispered to her, "Xiuxiu, don't talk anymore and don't make any noise." β
Zhang Xiuxiu didn't dare to take a breath, and felt her fear from the blind mother-in-law's tone.
However, Zhang Xiuxiu didn't know why her blind mother-in-law was so afraid.
The sound gradually approached the entrance of the cave.
It was as if someone had come to the entrance of the cave and stopped.
Zhang Xiuxiu hugged her blind mother-in-law, she was very scared.
After a while, Zhang Xiuxiu and her blind mother-in-law both heard the sound of muttering from outside the cave.
The voice was extremely hoarse, Zhang Xiuxiu couldn't understand what the person outside the cave was talking about, and he didn't know who that person was, and how such a strange person appeared in this place.
The blind mother-in-law trembled as she listened to the voices outside the cave.
Zhang Xiuxiu felt that the blind mother-in-law could understand the sound of the person outside, and what the person said made the blind mother-in-law afraid.
Zhang Xiuxiu hugged her blind mother-in-law tightly, really worried that the person outside the cave would rush into the cave and hurt them.
The man was outside the cave, and the louder he spoke, his anger could be felt in the tone of his voice.
I don't know how long it took for the cave to be quiet outside.
A burst of sound, from near to far......
The blind mother-in-law exhaled a long breath, and a stone in Zhang Xiuxiu's heart was also put down.
The blind mother-in-law suddenly said, "He can smell me!" β
Zhang Xiuxiu hurriedly asked, "Who is he?" β
The blind mother-in-law was speechless, but grabbed Zhang Xiuxiu's hand hard.
Some images came to the blind mother-in-law's mind.
For many years, she never forgot those images.
They hid in caves.
Hu Cuigu hugged Yang Wuping, who was seriously injured, and he was trembling all over, like a dead leaf in the autumn wind.
His wounds were still oozing blood, and if this continued, he would soon die.
Yang Wuping was talking nonsense in a coma: "I, I, I want to kill, kill all the devils; I, I die, and I will defend it when I die, and the formation, the position, the ......"
We must save Yang Wuping! Hu Cuigu thought.
Hu Cuigu put Yang Wuping in the cave and walked out.
At this time, she heard the fierce gunfire from the peak of the plum blossom spire, and the devil was attacking again? There is no longer a living New Fourth Army soldier at the peak of the plum blossom tip, how can there be such a fierce gunfire coming? Hu Cuigu was wondering when she heard a voice coming from the grass.
She saw a snake slipping through the grass, it was a wounded snake, its left side of its upper abdomen had been cut open by something, and it was dripping with blood.
Hu Cuigu suddenly thought of a question, how does this snake treat its injuries? Hu Cuigu followed behind the snake.
The snake came to a halt in a patch of grass with small pink and yellow flowers.
It kept rolling in the grass......
Hu Cuigu was stunned, the snake's wound magically stopped bleeding, and the snake's wound was also shrinking.
Hu Cuigu thought, could this grass with small pink and yellow flowers also heal people's injuries? Maybe Yang Wuping's life should not be extinguished! After the serpent had left the meadow, she pulled out a large bundle of the grass and returned to the cave.
Hu Cuigu chopped the grass with a stone, and the juice of the grass gave off a bitter taste.
She untied the bandage on Yang Wuping's chest, and blood gushed out of the wound.
Hu Cuigu put the chopped grass on Yang Wuping's wound, her eyes widened, and Yang Wuping's wound actually stopped bleeding......
Hu Cuigu untied the bandage on Yang Wuping's thigh again, she could see the shrapnel embedded in the flesh of his thigh, Hu Cuigu took out a pair of pliers from the medicine box, and pulled out the shrapnel on his thigh vigorously, fortunately, this shrapnel is not very deep, and it is not embedded in the bone, otherwise, it is not so easy to take it out.
Yang Wuping screamed and woke up in pain the moment Hu Cuigu pulled out the shrapnel on his thigh! Yang Wuping shouted loudly: "Where am I, where is the position, where is our position?" β
Hu Cuigu said: "Wu Ping, don't get excited, I'm treating your injuries!" β
Yang Wuping said loudly again: "Where is my gun? Where's my gun? I want to go back to the position, and the position cannot be lost, not lost! β
Hu Cuigu held him tightly, and only at this time could Hu Cuigu hold him down, because he was seriously injured and his body was too weak.
Hu Cuigu said: "Wu Ping, you let me bandage your wounds first, okay?" Your gun is still there, right next to you! β
Yang Wuping stretched out his hand and touched the rifle, his hand held the rifle, and muttered: "My gun is still there, as long as the gun is still there, I can kill the devil and keep the position!" β
Hu Cuigu hurriedly applied chopped grass to the wound on his thigh, and then bandaged it......
Yang Wuping fainted again.
Hu Cuigu listened to the sound of gunfire from the top of the mountain, waiting for Yang Wuping to wake up.
The guns rang out for a long time, and she thought, there must be a difficult and cruel battle on the top of the mountain, otherwise it wouldn't have been fought for so long, so who is fighting the devil? Yang Wuping was in a coma for a day and a night, and finally woke up that morning.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he exclaimed, "Thirsty, I am thirsty!" β
Hu Cuigu handed him the kettle, he drank half of the kettle, wiped his mouth, picked up the gun and was about to stand up.
Hu Cuigu said: "What are you going to do! β
Yang Wuping said: "I want to go back to the position, kill the devils, and hold the position!" β
Hu Cuigu knew his temper, what he wanted to do, he couldn't pull back the nine cows, she said: "Wu Ping, you are seriously injured, you can't stand it when you go out now!" β
Yang Wuping patted his chest and said, "What can't I stand it!" β
Hu Cuigu was very surprised, he obviously had a gunshot wound in the chest, didn't it hurt for him to pat his chest like that? Hu Cuigu asked, "The wound on your chest doesn't hurt anymore?" β
Yang Wuping's eyes were blood-red: "It's not painful, when have I ever been afraid of pain?" β
Hu Cuigu stared at his blood-red eyes and said, "It really doesn't hurt?" β
Yang Wuping said: "It doesn't hurt! β
Hu Cuigu said, "Let me look at your chest." β
Hu Cuigu untied the bandage on his chest and exclaimed, "How is it possible? How can it be? β
The gunshot wound on Yang Wuping's chest was actually healed, but it was still a little red and swollen.
Hu Cuigu checked the wound on his thigh again, and the same was true! Hu Cuigu put the rotten grass on his wound again, and then bandaged him......
Yang Wuping couldn't hold it anymore, picked up the rifle and stood up, and walked towards the outside of the cave......
They returned to their positions at the top of the hill.
There was a dead silence on the battlefield.
Yang Wuping smelled the smell of gunsmoke and wondered, why hadn't the position been occupied by devils yet? Hu Cuigu silently loaded the gun.
Yang Wuping lay on the edge of the ditch, staring at the jungle below.
There was no movement in the jungle below.
He didn't know that just as they were running towards the top of the mountain, the large army of devils in the jungle below the mountain had quietly withdrawn because they couldn't capture the plum blossom pinnacle for a long time.
Yang Wuping and Hu Cuigu held the position on the top of the mountain for another day and night, and at noon the next day, Hu Cuigu went to the jungle to fill the kettle, and suddenly found a small force of devils coming up from behind.
She hurriedly returned to the position and told Yang Wuping about the situation, and Yang Wuping's eyes burned with anger and hatred......
