Volume 3 Chapter 23 The Mysterious Expedition
Roland was startled and instinctively wanted to shout.
The man hurriedly whispered in her ear, "Xiao Luo, don't shout. ”
It's white development.
"Uncle Bai," Roland's heart was temporarily relaxed, "What are you doing again?"
"Things are changing, I'll discuss with you"
"What's wrong?"
"Kuroki led the army away, and when he left, he asked all departments to count the number of people, gather all the people to watch a movie in the square, and not a little one, and not until the wind arrives before returning to the dormitory."
"This is for fear of someone running away or rioting!"
"Yes, it's easy to manage." Bai Zhan looked out the window as he spoke, and Kuroki and several officers were talking in the courtyard of the office area, all of them had changed into uniform uniforms, carrying sabers, and carrying southern fourteen on their waists. The rest of the generals were usually dressed in disheveled clothes, and today they were also nervously changing their clothes and arranging their equipment. More than thirty carriages were parked outside the door. Oh, and instead of a horse-drawn carriage, the "horse" turned out to be a giant prehistoric newt, which lived in the dark underworld and was rarely seen in the human world. They have no eyes, but they have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and touch, and they crawl fast and with great strength, and the salamanders pulling carts are two-ended, each the size of an adult Asian elephant, and are dressed in armor.
Although the newt has a fierce and restless temperament, and has rough skin and thick flesh, these salamanders seem to have been domesticated long ago, and although they are vicious in appearance, they are stable and calm. The driver sits in the driver's seat and ties the salamander's head and neck with two long reins, one of which is connected to the collar with a barbed wooden pin, and the driver indirectly determines the salamander's pain by controlling the tightness of the reins. These brainless salamanders also learn about their owner's intentions based on the sensation of pain. The other is wrapped across the salamander's mouth and used to tighten the brakes.
Roland didn't have the heart to admire the prehistoric trolls, she stared at the movement downstairs.
Soon, Kuroki waved his hand, and rows of soldiers boarded the chariot pulled by the salamander, and at the same time, more than 20 canvas trailers and a large number of square boxes were pushed out of the warehouse, and three more carts were loaded.
The trailers were successively hung in the back of the salamander chariots, and the ammunition was also filled and diverted to the carts in a tense and orderly manner.
Kuroki looked at the busy Japanese soldiers, and suddenly looked up at Roland's house, Roland hurriedly dodged, this guy's concern for himself recently is really sweet, don't run up to say goodbye.
But Kuroki didn't move, as a commander, as soon as he picked up the sword, he became a different person, and his duty kept him from going upstairs, or rather, this task was not convenient to explain to Roland.
The troops were deployed, and all the other workers were sent to the mines or tidal flats to perform various tasks, except for Roland and Bai Development, and no one knew that the troops were leaving.
"Xiao Luo, they are gone, and the workers will gather soon." Bai Development said, "When you sit down later, you have to lean on the side to make it easier to slip away." ”
"Uncle Bai, what's in the trailer?"
"I don't know."
"You usually wander around the building, you should know something"
"Hehe, if I knew what was in the trailer, I guess my head would have moved a long time ago."
Roland nodded, and she asked casually, "Uncle Bai, you said that if a rich man put a safe at home, what would be in it?" ”
Bai Development said without thinking about it, "If you are a fool, you must put gold and silver treasures, and if you are a smart person, you must put worthless things." ”
"Why?"
"This is simple, attracting the attention of thieves." Bai Fa replied indifferently, he was full of escaping, so he told Roland a few more words before leaving in a hurry.
Bai Development's casual answer made Roland suddenly realize something, she quickly took out the iron hook used by Bai Development to unlock the lock, and slipped into the archive room again.
After a while, the rapid whistle sounded, and the workers were made an exception to watch a movie during working hours. Roland was also called down by the widow on duty in the building, and before leaving, she hurriedly glanced at the small house where she had lived for less than a week, and her heart was mixed.
Soon, the workers were assembled, and Roland hurried out, standing in the place designated by Bai Development with her heart, which was the very edge of the queue, and only an old widow guarded it. Bai Zhanfeng was chatting with the old widow, and the two of them each held a wine jug in their hands, talking and laughing waiting for the movie to start. Bai Wenwen walked over and sat down beside Roland silently.
"Sister," Bai Wenwen whispered, "I'm ready"
"Hmm" Roland nodded and asked with concern, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid," Bai Wenwen pursed his lips and said, "I've already investigated the location, it only takes fifteen minutes for us to run over, and as long as we enter the hole, it's safe." ”
Roland patted Bai Wenwen's shoulder, "Your uncle is working hard for you." What are you going to do when you go out? ”
"I have to hurry back to return to the yang, my uncle will go to the underworld, find a good family to take care of," Bai Wenwen said.
The movie began, the name of this issue of the movie is "The Ghost Gate is My Home, and the Construction Depends on Everyone", on the screen, a group of happy female ghosts are happily working in the dense salan grass fields, a group of children's ghosts are chasing and playing, and the male ghosts who have returned from work are talking and laughing, and they are full of joy.
Roland didn't bother to look at the fictional picture, out of the corner of her eyes she glanced at the drunken old widow, who fell asleep before the third of the movie arrived. Bai Zhan nodded, Roland ran to the front row with his waist on his back, and said to a sturdy female ghost, "Captain Wu, I'm going to the dormitory." ”
The female ghost was very respectful of Roland, and hurriedly said, "You are already a member of the secretarial team, you can do whatever you want." ”
"I'm going to get something to the office and want the guy to help me." After speaking, he pointed to Bai Steady.
"Go, go" This female ghost, who has always been domineering, is very accommodating to Roland.
Roland got permission and dragged Bai Development away with a puff of smoke. Sure enough, the guards were left alone, and they quickly ran out of the mine. For Roland, it was the first time she had experienced the scenery of this ghost world, full of sand grains everywhere, and sparse salan grass growing tenaciously in the cracks of the sand and gravel.
"Your uncle didn't follow!" Roland asked as he ran.
"He said he was going to break off"
"If you leave him behind, what awaits him is a severe punishment!" Roland said and stopped, "We'll wait for him"
"Can't wait!" Bai Wenwen said without thinking, "Hurry up!" As he spoke, he picked up the stunned Roland and ran all the way to a shoal. There used to be a river on the ground, perhaps because of the huge winds that disturbed the day, and the surface water system was long gone. Bai Wenwen looked east and west and found a large stone slab with a triangle number painted on it, "This is it!" He pushed the slab away, and there was a hole underneath.
Bai Wenwen dragged Roland from the entrance of the cave and slid down the slippery passage for more than ten meters, and the two of them fell into a huge underground cavern. This is indeed a dark river. The river is not deep but the current is turbulent, coming from the direction of the ghost gate and heading towards the Black Cliff.
Bai Wenwen picked up Roland, "Let's go upstream!" ”
Roland said, "Wait for your uncle."
Bai Wenwen said resolutely, "Don't worry, sister, it's okay, he is very familiar with this place, and he will follow up soon." ”
After speaking, he didn't care what Roland meant, he picked up Roland and ran upstream.
Roland asked as he walked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Bai Wenwen said, "It must be urgent, the mortuary will be sent in three days, and the soul will be returned in seven days." If I don't hurry, even if I run back, my body will be in the dirt. ”
"Understand, understand," Roland replied, but slowed down.
"Your uncle is really talented"
"Well, talented," Bai Wenwen said as he responded.
"I listened to the two of them singing, but I slipped away"
"Yes, it's good when I was alive."
He often told me that in 1978, his neighbor Bai Wancai lent him more than 20 yuan to buy seeds, but he lost all his gambling money. He didn't have the face to see Bai Wancai, Bai Wancai said that as long as his old man had a birthday, Bai Development could sing on stage for three days, and he didn't want twenty yuan. Bai Zhenfeng really put on makeup and sang on stage for three days, but there was no duplicate play, do you say it's amazing. ”
"That is, the old man's play is one of the best in Baijiatun, and I was still young when the old man Bai Wancai celebrated his birthday."
"Do you know that there is a fox fairy temple in Baijiatun?"
"Of course I know, there is a fox fairy there, special spirit, when you go out, I will ask my mother to go to the temple to donate a French style and ask for a good marriage for you."
Roland suddenly asked, "Where is it further along?" ”
"I don't know, but it's a ghost gate at the end"
"I know where it is, let me tell you?"
"Where?"
"There's an ambush waiting for us ahead."
"How is that possible!" Bai Wenwen smiled: "Sister, do you know how to tell hexagrams?" ”
"Don't call me sister," Roland laughed, "you're over forty years older than me." ”
