Chapter 6 A step forward
Three steps and one step, the four of them ran to the edge of the robbery cave in a panic, stretched out their heads to look into the robbery cave, but it was pitch black. Unscrewed the flashlight and shone it into the cave, only to see the fog inside, and the smell of gunpowder came from inside.
The cave was like a pot with firewood and grass, and in this case, we had to sit at the entrance of the cave and wait for the smoke to clear before we could go in. Yang Kexing looked at his watch, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening at this time, and the food he bought in the morning was eaten again. If the bricks of the tomb can be blown open, then there will be a fight tonight. If it can't be blown up, then you have to use it as a coolie tonight to pick up a sledgehammer. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The compressed biscuits and beef patties in the backpack were enough for four people for a day.
Yang Kexing told the old farmer about the situation. The old farmer arranged for Yang Kexing and Wu Feifei to go to the street to buy some cooked chickens, flatbread or something. As for the water to drink, then take the local materials, and let me dig a hole near the river with a sapper shovel, and let some water enter it. Dig a ditch again, then pick up some dry branches, dead grass and whatever, boil water on the enamel basin rack, and fill the four military kettles in your duffel bag. He himself guarded the place.
Once the arrangements were made, we went our separate ways. They went to the street to buy food without mentioning it. I picked up the sapper shovel and ran to the river, picked up a place with little grass, and dug a pit more than a foot deep and the size of a basin. After a few minutes, the pit was already full of water.
If you want to say that the spring water is dug by the river, friends in the city probably haven't tried it. In our time, there were no factories. The water in the river is cool and can see the bottom, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can drink it directly when you go to the river, and dig a pit by the river to drink some water from the spring. The water from this spring is filtered through the river soil, and the filter stone of the current water dispenser is the same. Not only does the water taste strange, but it also feels very sweet.
Far away, I dug a pit more than 40 centimeters deep and 20 centimeters wide. Then he scooped the water into the basin with a bowl, set the enamel basin on the top of the pit, and used a flashlight to find some dry grass and branches, and made a fire.
When the old farmer saw that I had made a fire, he also came to help find firewood. Soon a basin of water was steaming hot, and bubbles were bubbling from the bottom of the basin.
After filling the four military kettles. I scooped water to extinguish the fire, and returned to the cave with the old farmer.
I sat down at the mouth of the cave and was about to rest for a while. Before his buttocks hit the ground, he was kicked by Feng Laonong more than a meter away, and fell heavily in the grass by the hole. Immediately there was a rush of pain in my hand.
Faced with this sudden attack, I was immediately confused. When I reacted, Feng Lao Nong was smashing something with the sapper shovel in his hand.
I got up and picked up a flashlight that had fallen in the grass. Only to find that his hand had been pierced by the roots of the withered grass, and the blood was dripping out drop by drop. I covered my hands and came to Old Farmer Feng's side. When I looked closely, I found that there was a dead snake lying on the ground that had been cut into several pieces by the old farmer. The snake was still writhing, and the flesh of the snake stained with dirt kept oozing blood. And the snake's head is still one by one, as if it is unwilling to die, and wants to bite the person who violated it. And the snake segment, under the light of the flashlight, reflected a strange light like the dark red tomb wall.
I patted the dirt off my body and pulled out a cigarette for the old farmer. The old farmer took the cigarette and said, "Damn, there are so many snakes in this place." It's not that Lao Tzu is sharp-eyed, your kid's ass must be blooming at this time."
I laughed and said, "Your brother's foot is also ruthless, he was not bitten by a snake and blossomed, but you kicked the flower"
"Didn't you notice? This snake is not our local snake! This kind of color is the same as the color of the tomb wall" The old farmer said, "I'm afraid there will be snakes in this tomb, if you climb out of the tomb, then the wall will be blown up" After speaking, the old farmer scratched his head and added: "When I saw the snake at that time, I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to kick you away, and I didn't expect that I would make such a big effort."
As he was talking, Wu Feifei and the old farmer came back with a flashlight. The old peasant told them about the snake. After a moment of silence, Yang Kexing proposed to put on all the clothes in the duffel bag, at least to resist the snake's bite. Look back at what these two bought. Scold! It's so rich! Four braised chickens, four braised pig's trotters, four catties of pig's head meat, and eight catties of pot helmet buns. All wrapped in straw paper.
Don't talk about how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, let's fill my stomach first. In order to prevent the snake from reappearing, the four of us sat back to back on the ground, all the flashlights turned on and placed at our feet, while the sapper shovel and steel pipe were kept at hand, so that we could fight the snake at any time. Everyone ate some pot of helmet buns and braised pork indiscriminately, and after drinking a little water, they saw that the smoke in the thief cave had dissipated. The old peasant suggested that he take the sapper shovel, and Wu Feifei followed behind to make up for it, and went into the cave to check it.
After a while, the two of them came out of the thief hole. The old farmer shouted happily: "Little brother, your foreign tube is really not blowing, it's open!" But the fuck opened a mouth as big as a watermelon."
Yang Kexing said: "That's not good, just blow it up again?" "
"If you don't blow it up, the rest will be broken, and it will be a few more hammers" The old farmer said: "Yang Kexing and Luo Jufei, you two will distribute the equipment outside, and the heavy ones will be thrown into the hole first, and the other small things will be divided equally among each person, and Lao Fan and I will smash the wall." After speaking, he and Wu Feifei carried a sledgehammer into the hole. When he entered the cave, he did not forget to add, "Give me more food!" "
Yang Kexing and I opened the duffel bags and threw the Luoyang shovel and casing into the hole first. Divide the food, drink, batteries, and masks into four backpacks. Yang Kexing carried his small bag on his back, and naturally his wooden box was indispensable in the bag. I just ate some pot of steamed buns during the meal just now, and I had a small amount of food, so I poured all my share of pig's head meat into the old farmer's paper bag.
After distributing the equipment, the old farmer and Wu Feifei came out and shouted that they were all smashed. I also took a flashlight to shine it, and it was just a tomb inside, and there was nothing else. The lit straw paper was also thrown down, and it burned well. It's time to get off.
Feng Laonong asked everyone to take out all the guys for self-defense, and the result was that each of the three of them had a pistol, more than 100 rounds of ammunition, two paratrooper knives, two daggers to ward off evil spirits, and two sapper shovels to defend themselves. The result of the distribution was: the three of them divided the pistol and the bullet, Feng Laonong and Wu Feifei each took a dagger, and if they didn't take it, their heads would hurt, so they could only distribute it like this. And I chose two paratrooper knives, Yang Kexing took a sapper shovel, and the old farmer took an extra sapper shovel to hang on his waist.
After distributing the weapons, the remaining heavy items were put into two large bags and carried by everyone in turn. And the camouflage uniforms prepared by Yang Kexing were each worn outside. Then the old farmer instructed him to cut some deep grass outside, and covered up the hole.
After everything was ready, Old Farmer Feng gave an order. It's time for the fight!
