66 Crossing the Cave
In the midst of the storm, the elder Wei and his companions climbed over the mountain and fled towards another mountain.
When it was dawn, they took refuge in a cave and began to rest.
Ye Shuyang was about to find dry firewood to make a fire, but Gong Qingzhen hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, you can't make a fire, otherwise the smoke will attract the enemy!" ”
When everyone was drenched in the rain, they took off their coats and wrung the water on them, and the innkeeper took out the food in the basket and distributed it to everyone.
Elder Wei asked Ye Shuyang to be on guard at the entrance of the cave, and he took out the radio from Xiao Xu's back basket, which was wrapped in oilcloth, not rained, and could still be used, but the power was running out.
Gong Qingzhen handed over the child to the innkeeper to take care of, and she and the eldest elder Wei used the radio to contact friendly forces.
The wind outside the cave began to blow again, and the rain continued to fall.
When the Kuomintang army in charge of searching the mountain found the attacked soldiers, their officers were furious and ordered their soldiers to lead their hounds to search for them in the rain.
The rain washed away the smell of the elder Wei, but the enemies still searched for them.
Elder Wei had just received a steady set of radio waves, and before he could decipher them, Ye Shuyang rushed to report: "The enemy has searched again, and they are still leading the hounds!" ”
Gong Qingzhen immediately said: "We have to hurry up and get rid of this cave, otherwise the enemy will block us here!" ”
She turned off the station and wrapped it in a rain cloth.
However, one of the enemy's officers carefully probed the hillside with a telescope, and the elder Wei and his companions were about to leave the cave, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave, they saw two bright lights coming from the hillside outside the cave.
He hurriedly motioned to his companion not to come out of the cave yet, and he closed his eyes and looked at these two points of light, and saw the officer of the national army with a telescope.
The officer also spotted him through the binoculars and immediately ordered the gunner to adjust the gun position, and a mortar aimed the chamber at the cave.
Elder Wei hurriedly opened his eyes and shouted to his companions, "Hurry up and withdraw to the cave!" Here comes the cannonballs! ”
He took Ye Shuyang's hand and fled deeper into the cave, and a cannonball flew whizzing and landed at the entrance of the cave, blowing up a large area of dirt.
The proprietress and Xiao Xu each held a baby, and also followed behind the eldest Wei, Gong Qingzhen caught up with the eldest Wei with a bamboo basket on her back, and asked: "Has the enemy discovered this cave?" ”
Elder Wei replied: "We can't escape from the entrance of the cave, it seems that we can only retreat to the depths of the cave, if only this was a through cave!" ”
However, if it is a cave or not, you can tell if you keep going forward.
But if not, they will be wiped out.
Elder Wei hesitated, but he quickly made a decision and was ready to take a risk.
The enemy had discovered the cave, but did not dare to break into it, so they fired machine guns into the cave, then threw grenades and even shells into the cave.
The whole cave was shaking, and the stone chips on the roof of the cave were like falling rain.
Elder Wei closed his eyes and led the way, and in the darkness, he saw this ghost.
Although there will always be people who die when the ghost cha appears, he knows that the onicha will not embarrass himself.
The depths of the cave were very humid, but warm, and as they walked by, a large swarm of bats poured out of their nests, and the frightened Xiao Xu and Ye Shuyang screamed constantly.
Elder Wei hurriedly instructed: "Don't panic, protect your eyes with your hands, the cat bends down, holds hands, don't fall behind!" ”
This cave is tortuous, much like the cave in Yuyao Mountain, and there are also forks.
Elder Wei asked the ghost in front of him for directions?
The ghost did not answer, but pointed at the eyes and heart of the elder Wei with his slender fingers.
Elder Wei understood that the other party wanted him to move forward by feeling.
But do you feel right?
However, it seemed that he had no choice, and the enemy had chased into the cave, and the hound barked as he ran forward.
What's even more dangerous is that only Xiao Xu and Gong Qingzhen are carrying two box cannons in this team, but they are already out of bullets, and the elder Wei has even lost the awl for self-defense.
The hound runs fast and is not disturbed by the darkness and bats in the slightest.
The barking of dogs was getting closer and closer, and Ye Shuyang and Xiao Xu's hands were already trembling.
The elder Wei said to Gong Qingzhen: "You take everyone to continue along the cave, and I will leave the broken queen!" ”
Gong Qingzhen replied: "No, I can't do it, it's up to you to lead us forward!" ”
Ye Shuyang also said: "We will advance and retreat together with you!" ”
"Then you just stay where you are, no matter what happens, don't make a sound, and don't let the two children cry!"
The adults are well controlled, but how do the two babies keep them from crying?
Gong Qingzhen had no choice but to untie her clothes and breastfeed the two babies at the same time.
Old Wei came behind the crowd, crouched down, closed his eyes, and saw a black-backed hound galloping towards them, the kind of hound he had seen in Germany, brave and agile.
The hounds got closer and louder.
Just as he and the hound made eye contact, he let out a low roar, and the hound stiffly stopped the galloping body.
Although the hound is brave, it also has natural predators and things to fear.
The hound stayed where it was, let out a low growl of "whine", and it saw a pair of green eyes, and not only that, but behind the green eyes there was a pair of red eyes.
The elder Wei "snorted" and pounced on the hound, and the frightened other party turned around and fled.
Ye Shuyang, who was behind, saw that he was pretending to be a beast, and was about to speak, but the elder Wei hurriedly signaled her not to speak.
The hound fled with his tail between his legs, and the elder Wei was still not at ease, so he touched the stone on the ground and threw it at the hound, until the hound disappeared from his field of vision.
He quickly got up, took Ye Shuyang's hand and headed back towards his companion.
"Everyone hold hands, follow me, don't be left behind!"
He took Ye Shuyang's hand, and Gong Qingzhen handed over the demon baby to the innkeeper to take care of, and also followed behind Ye Shuyang.
The road ahead was a bit rough, and the elder Wei kept reminding his companions to pay attention to their feet, and they smeared forward.
Ye Shuyang couldn't help but say, "Old Wei, I don't see that you can learn to bark a dog!" ”
The elder Wei said: "What is this, I also grabbed food from wild dogs when I was down!" ”
A slender hole appeared in front of him, allowing only one person to crawl forward.
The ghost who was secretly guiding them said to Elder Wei: "Through this tunnel, you will be safe!" ”
Da Lao Wei motioned to his companion to stop, and then said: "The cave in front is relatively low and very narrow, only allowing one person to crawl through, I will climb over with Miss Ye first, you tie the bamboo basket to the rope, I will drag it over first, and then you will pass through!" ”
Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu hurriedly responded, and tied ropes to the bamboo basket.
The elder Wei took the lead in prostrate on the ground, and kept crawling forward, climbing about ten meters, and the space quickly became larger, but it was still pitch black, and Ye Shuyang also climbed behind him.
Ye Shuyang handed the rope head to Da Lao Wei and slowly pulled out the two bamboo baskets.
Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu also followed, and the innkeeper was the last to climb out.
As they sat down to rest and take out their dry food and water to eat, they heard a collapse behind them, and the tunnel completely collapsed and sealed.
Elder Wei was worried that the cave would also collapse, so he hurriedly took his companions and continued to rush to the entrance of the cave.
But when they came to the entrance of the cave, it was pitch black outside, but the night wind brought fresh air.
