"Everlasting Lantern"

Of course, this is not a real ever-bright lamp, the real ever-bright lantern is said to be that the wind cannot be extinguished, the water cannot be extinguished, and the huge oil cylinder and thick wick in front of him are obviously just the traditional sense of the ever-bright lamp. It is just an ordinary lamp oil wick that symbolizes longevity and gives light to the dead to guide the way.

Lacey kept shining the flashlight at the wick, and I noticed that there was still a lot of yellow powder left near the wick, sulfur.

"Looks like it's for lighting, is it lit?" , I asked Lacey.

Lacey took out a high-temperature lighter and lit it, the flame emitted by this lighter was a bit like a welding torch, and the flame temperature was several times higher than that of an ordinary lighter.

Soon the thick wick was ignited, and after a while, the flame grew larger, and the whole surrounding area was much brighter. Lacey grabbed another handful of brimstone and sprinkled it on the wick, and a puff of smoke rose up.

The flies that were scurrying in the air flew away without a trace.

"The filter masks they make are used to protect against toxic fumes"

"Oh", that's when I realized.

Those two dead old men were also afraid of flies, and I thought they were relatives of flies, just as annoying.

"Let's hurry up and practice the gun", Lacey said and opened the backpack, "choose for yourself"

"Aren't the two the same?"

"The first time you use a gun, you must choose your own suitable one, the gun will protect you when it is critical"

"How to choose?"

"Feel"

"Feelings?" , How do you feel, I put two hands in, one left and one right, and took one in each hand to look at it.

Lacey added, "Shooting is also a matter of feeling."

Feel? I took a closer look at the two guns in my hand, except for the difference in shape, it was just one gun, and there was no special feeling. By the way, in the story of the Broken Soul Pass, Master Mao said that only by closing the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind can we amplify our subconscious.

Maybe what I feel is not the life of the gun, but the kind of destiny in the dark.

I slowly closed my eyes, didn't think about anything, didn't listen, the little gun in my right hand suddenly moved, my heart suddenly jumped, and then I deliberately felt nothing.

But at this time, looking at this gun, it suddenly seemed to have life, and a vivid light reflected on the black gun under the light.

"I think it's it", I love this gun, just now it seems like I suddenly fell in love with it.

Then came the whole process of learning guns, under the teaching of Lacey, I knew that my gun was called Colt M or something, I couldn't remember clearly, I myself gave him a favorite name "Cold Rain".

Then came the practice, firing in the dark to be able to accurately find the target and fire quickly, and it took Lacey more than twenty minutes to correct my posture. How to hold the right hand holding the gun with the flashlight of the left hand, and how to stabilize the pistol and reduce the recoil with the right arm. How the head is slightly tilted to facilitate aiming. I kept practicing rebuilding the reticle after firing.

Then he talked in detail about several gun holding postures, the position of the tiger's mouth hand, and the coordination of the left and right hands. What Lacey said made me feel like an agent, and I learned that this is not an easy task, and that the control of the pistol is much more difficult than the semi-automatic rifle I played in military training.

Then there is the exciting real gun, you must be completely familiar with the gun, adapt to the sound of the gun, and fully trust your partner in order to save your life in danger.

So I started to shoot after shot, my hands were sore, my mouth was painful, my eardrums couldn't hear, and Lacey didn't stop until I had finished all 20 rounds in one magazine.

Shocking, arms sore, ears buzzing, nothing else can be heard, but it's cool.

It took a while for the ears to regain hearing.

"You're getting better and better, and you have a talent for guns, and if you were a top soldier in our company, the kind that was trained alone," Lacey's relationship with me really affirmed and encouraged me.

"Lacey, I want to clean up these maggots, girls might be scared"

Lacey kept looking at the light of the lantern and said slowly, "Sooner or later, she will have to face something more terrible than this, and she will not expose our weaknesses to the enemy."

Otherwise, those two old men don't know what to think of to deal with us, and I have to overcome these weaknesses myself.

Okay, I walked forward in stride, trying not to care about the crackling sound under my feet, but how could it be so easy, I turned my stomach when I walked to the sink, and hurriedly walked to the side, I might vomit.

I didn't dare to stand on the edge of the cliff and vomit, but when I reached the edge of this platform, a stone staircase appeared in front of me.

The sudden appearance of the stone steps immediately distracted me, and my churning stomach felt much better.

This diagonally descending stone staircase leans against the mountain wall, a bit like an ancient plank road, winding its way until the end of the flashlight.

"Lacey", I called Lacey.

Lacey saw it too, and he turned on the improvised searchlight, and the light shot out again and again, but he still couldn't see it

The end of the stone steps.

"Did you see the road when we just came in," I asked Lacey.

Lacey shook her head.

I also clearly remember that we also turned on the searchlight made by Zhang San to shine around, and there was no road in sight here at that time.

I steadied my center of gravity and stepped on the first staircase with my left foot.

Solid, not hallucination, means that this stone staircase has always been here, but why didn't we see it when we came in.

There was a sound of water, and two heads appeared in the stone trough.

"It stinks"

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Zhao Dong and Wan Camel got out.

"Didn't I let you stay outside, why did you come in", I asked Zhao Dong

"Wan Huo, he has to argue to come in, and you haven't come out", Zhao Dong replied.

"What about Zhang San", I asked again

"Guarding outside, why does it stink so much here?"

"Sulfur smoked, it's much better now"

", did you fall into the thatched house, so many maggots," Wan Camel said.

Lacey said with a calm face next to him, "If you don't listen to the command, you will kill people."

Wan Camel quibbled, "It's not that we're worried that you won't come out for so long."

Lacey didn't blame him deeply, "Come out and take a look, next time you must talk about discipline, if you don't listen to the command on the battlefield, you can shoot the two of you"

Zhao Dong Wantuo hit a big luck today, I trained well just now, and now you are in a good mood for Lacey.

"There is nowhere to put your feet", Zhao Dong looked at the dead flies and wriggling insect repellent on the ground, and stayed in the stone trough and did not come out. Wan Camel went directly to the ground barefoot, and he didn't even wear underwear, and said as he walked, "Maggots, there are sprinkles"

"Of course it's okay with you, you're their relative," Zhao said, and Lacey and I both laughed.

told Zhao Dong and Wan Camel about using sulfur to drive flies, and Wan Camel looked at the vat lit with an ever-bright lamp and exclaimed, "Antique, get rich"

Zhao Dong said, "You are old in the past, this is the water tank commonly used in the countryside, and even if it is an antique, can you carry it out and sell it?"

"Don't talk about it yet, just two things from Genghis Khan's tomb are enough for you to spend a few lifetimes, come and see this road, it's a bit weird", I beckoned to the two of them, and I was faintly worried in my heart, it was better to go out early.

"Weird?" , Zhao Dong asked.

"Well, we didn't see a road when we just came in, but we just saw this road," I pointed to the stone steps, but suddenly froze.

There is a series of watery footprints on the stone steps that stretch all the way out.

Everyone has seen it, where did these footprints come from?

Zhang San came in?

No, the footprint is very small, it looks like a child's or a woman's foot.

In just one minute, there was a series of footprints with water on the stone steps.

The air cooled down all at once, everyone stopped talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became very unusual.

We didn't hear the sound of water just now, and we were pretty sure that those footprints weren't Bai Xue and Ma Li's, and certainly couldn't be those two weird old men's, unless they had a pair of heavenly stump feet.

"Chase, don't chase", Zhao Dong asked with a stammer.

My teeth are also a little cold, I am a little afraid to chase, I am afraid that these footprints are not human footprints at all.

"Go out and see if Zhang San is there", Lacey ordered coldly.

We also retreated, ran to the stone trough in a trembling way, and jumped into the water without waiting in line.

Lacey grabbed me and said, "Mask off"

I came back to my senses, quickly took my mask and stuffed it into my backpack, and that feeling came again.

That feeling of someone looking at me from behind, I'm going to get out of here, out of this seeping darkness. At this time, I was like a plant in the field, and I was very eager to get sun.
