Chapter 12: The Bottomless Black Hole

One by one, the equipment was hoisted down, and I stood cautiously at the edge of the cave to pick up the backpacks, for fear that I would fall off the cliff if I didn't pay attention. After all the equipment and Zhao Dong Laixi came down, the rope retracted.

I was a little surprised, and Lacey said to me, "Let Brother Ran put it away first, and if someone really comes here and sees it, he won't be suspicious."

"Oh, that's it." Although I said yes, is it really safe? Then I told myself that I was not suspicious of people, and my teacher was suspicious.

After a short rest at the entrance of the cave, we slowly walked towards the cave.

Lacey put on his headlamp again and walked in front, much safer with the bright light of his headlamp.

The wide space at the entrance of the cave is like a tiger's mouth, and the further you go inside, the narrower it becomes. The hole is tilted inward, just like the structure of the mouth. Sure enough, when the road in front of me came to an end, the slope of the ground increased, and a large hole more than three meters wide was revealed in the ground under the illumination of the light.

I looked inside, and the big hole in the ground was black, and when the flashlight shone in, I could only see the stone cave wall, and I couldn't see the bottom. The wind blows up from the hole below, indicating that the bottom can lead to the outside, either to the bottom of Lanying Village, or to the bottom of Lanying Village, or to the Lanying Grand Canyon that is hundreds of meters deep.

What about coffins? What about ghost reishi? What about the ghost market that Master Mao said? Is it in that hole in the ground? This downward vertical hole resembles an esophagus, and I began to suspect that the whole mountain was a giant tiger, just like Pangu's body became a mountain.

"What to do," Zhao Dong asked.

I don't know what to do, I don't know how deep the hole is, and most importantly, I don't know how to go down.

Lacey crouched on the ground and opened her backpack, picking up the ropes from the shelter one by one.

"Go down with this rope?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised, can such a thin rope work?

"Give me the flashlight", Lacey reached out to me and I gave him my flashlight.

"Let's probe," said Lacey, tying the torch to one end of the rope and putting it directly into the black hole.

The flashlight went down, the light shot down vertically, and slowly Lacey put the rope, and after putting it for more than ten meters, the rope was finished.

Still can't see the bottom.

I don't know how to go down, it's out of the way.

"Get out first," Lacey said.

The four of us walked out, the cold wind behind us blew from behind, blowing the gloomy hairs behind the head to stand upright, how to go down, I always unconsciously connected this hole with the bottomless pit that the monk master said, Zhao Dong and Zhang San were even more fooled.

Walking outside the cave, Lacey picked up a large rock and walked back into the cave.

"You're going to come out and hug a stone," Zhang San shouted in surprise.

Zhao Dong and I couldn't do it, so we had to follow Lacey and walk in again, and Zhang San followed behind scolding.

I pulled Zhang San and asked him to clean his mouth, I was really afraid that what would happen if Lacey got angry and beat Zhang San all over the ground to find his teeth.

But I rarely see Lacey angry, cold-blooded is cold-blooded, and his personality has always been very well controlled.

Lacey walked to the edge of the cave, carefully placed the large stone on the edge of the hole, and took two steps back to put down her backpack.

I really don't know what Lacey is going to do, so I saw Lacey take out a bottle of Robust's mineral water from her backpack, twist the cap, walk to the hole, squat down, and pour it on the big rock.

Now we smell a smell of gasoline, and everyone understands what Lacey is going to do.

A lighter sounded, and the boulder burst into flames.

As soon as the fire was lit, Lacey kicked the big rock into the hole. The soles of his shoes were already on fire, and I was about to exclaim, when Lacey had already put out the fire probe on the soles of his shoes and looked into the hole.

We also looked down, and we saw that a fire in the distance was rapidly decreasing, and the rapidly falling fire disappeared before even the cave wall could be illuminated.

There was no hope, the hole was so deep that there was not even a sound when the big rock was thrown.

Could it be that this hole leads to the center of the earth, and everything I see has to make me start to fantasize.

"It's too deep, I can't go down", it was Zhang San who spoke, and he was not afraid that what he said just now would annoy Lacey.

"No, there is a way," Lacey said calmly.

"Is there one?" We all looked at Lacey strangely.

"There is a horizontal cave more than 20 meters away, with traces of artificiality".

When we heard this, we were depressed again, even if there was a cave, how could we go down more than 20 meters, even the rope we came down was not the same

More than ten meters, not to mention that the tiger's throat cavity has nothing, and there is no place to put a rope.

You go to the mouth of the cave and get it, and I will go up and cut down two trunks and go down.

We have no suspicion of Lacey now, and when we return to the entrance of the cave, Lacey asks Brother Ran to put down the rope and climb up by himself.

We sat at the entrance of the cave and talked.

"Xiaoshuai, is what Lacey said true?" , Zhao Dong asked

"What?"

"When He Was a Soldier"

"He's not a liar", the question is boring enough, Lacey doesn't have to lie, with his character he doesn't want to lie at all.

"What other secrets did Lacey tell you", Zhao Dong chased after and asked, "I want those secrets, secrets that I haven't heard of."

"Oh. I forgot about that, he said a little, but he didn't like to say this, I want to think about it."

"Lacey said that almost all the commanders of special forces in China are combat heroes who have participated in actual combat."

"Actual combat? Is it still China and India? This time it was Zhang San asking.

"Not China and India, China and Vietnam, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in the eighties"

"Oh, my uncle likes to watch Vietnam war movies the most, and the United States suffered a loss when it fought Vietnam." Zhang San's uncle not only likes to watch Vietnam War movies, but also likes to watch gunfight movies, but it is a gunfight movie with quotation marks.

"Vietnam fully occupied Cambodia that year, Cambodia's relationship with our country at that time needless to say, Vietnam then invaded China, in the early days of the war the Vietnamese side used special forces on a large scale to attack China, causing very large casualties, and the Vietnamese special forces were very cruel, once the Viet Cong special forces attacked a field hospital in China, hundreds of wounded and doctors were killed by the Vietnamese army in a very cruel way. Some of the female medical and communications women were raped and ended up with their limbs amputated after being captured".

"Ah", Zhang Huajun's mouth opened wide.

"The most cruel thing is not to kill them in the end, many people in the army know about it, the rape was very secretive at that time, and it was claimed to the public that these female soldiers were blown up by shells and mines, and they were not cut off their hands and feet as reported, but their limbs were amputated." Zhao Dong and Zhang San also stopped making a sound and listened to me silently. The brutal scene seemed to be right before our eyes.

"Actually, all this I talked about was reported in a report a few years ago, but the report was about cutting off hands and feet, but in fact it was amputating limbs, cutting off limbs and stitching up wounds for them, so that they could only squirm like seals, and they were called seal people."

"Being alive is not a sign of luck, and those female soldiers who die from infected wounds are relatively lucky. One of the doctors in Lacey's unit was a witness to this, so it's true that such a cruel thing happened."

No one spoke for a long time, and occasionally a bird could be heard outside.

"I can't believe it," Zhao Dong said, holding his knees and burying his head.

I was silent for a moment, "At first, I couldn't believe it, but a large number of Vietnamese people in the U.S. Vietnam War movies are very cunning and cruel, and now the Internet is developed, and when Lacey told me, I typed the word seal man on the Internet and saw the record photos at that time."

I'm going crazy about saying this, picking up a piece of gravel on the ground and throwing it out of the hole.
