In 98, a nationwide flood affected almost the entire territory of Zhejiang, but Liangjiagou was spared, this time in the entire northwest of Zhejiang, it seems that Liangjiagou is the most serious. Those dark clouds didn't go anywhere, they shrouded the sky of Liangjiagou all day and night, and they were sprinkled with water all over the sky as if they were dying, but it didn't rain a little more than a dozen kilometers away from our village.

Many old people in the village smoked stuffy cigarettes and said that this was the dragon lord was angry, and some people began to pour steamed steamed buns into the river, and they also stamped the seal with red paper, and used this thing as a priest for the gods in the past. As the water level continued to rise, some people had already thrown live chickens and ducks into the river, but God had no mercy on the poor people after all.

In that flood, almost a third of the houses in our village were washed away. Because Liangjiagou is a village along the river, almost every family has a bridge built by themselves, and in that year, more than half of the bridges were destroyed by the flood, and all the farmers in the field were swept away, and countless fertile fields became river beaches. By the time I was taken home that day, the flood water was already level with the bridge, and by noon, the bridge was out of sight and completely submerged.

It seems that Liangjiagou's hundred years of wind and rain are over, and my condition has not improved, although I no longer have a fever, but people are very different from before, my eyes are dull and empty, except for being in a daze or in a daze. The family was also in a hurry, and all the tricks that should be used were used, but Cha Wenbin didn't know where to go, and the rain was heavy, so he could only stand up at home.

I seemed to have slept for a long time, and the one in my dream I was carried into the old forest by several black shadows on a coffin. Liangjiagou is located in the Tianmu Mountains, the highest peak of Tianmu Mountain is located in the range of Liangjiagou, and our locals call it Dianjing Mountain.

Dianjing Mountain is very high, said to be in Liangjiagou, but in fact it is far away from us, it takes four or five hours to walk to the foot of the mountain, as for the top of the mountain, no one has ever been. Usually, you can see the mountain from sitting in the yard in front of your house, but no one has entered it in more than 100 years. Every time it rains in Liangjiagou, we can take back the clothes, herbs and other things that are drying outside in advance, because there is a rule of rain in Liangjiagou: it must fall from the main peak of Dianjing Mountain first, and then the rain will slowly come outside. If you catch the thunderstorm in the summer, the rain is so heavy that you can clearly see a white rain curtain coming slowly from the mountain.

Before and after the liberation, there was not enough food in the village, so the villagers would go into the mountains to plant corn. Choose a barren mountain, put a fire, and burn the remaining firewood ash to become natural fertilizer, and the corn cob grown on this high mountain has a very large mallet, full of grains, and a fragrant taste. But the farthest place is to the foot of Dianjing Mountain, according to my grandfather's generation, Dianjing Mountain is green from a distance, and it is indeed black when viewed from the foot of the mountain, which is very depressing.

The mountains are full of thorns, poisonous snakes and beasts, and they often see smoke rising from the mountains. At that time, it was said that there were bandits living on the mountain, and some people said that it was a small force left by the Kuomintang, so that no one dared to enter the mountain.

By the mid-to-late seventies, with the collapse of the Gang of Four, the whole country was in a construction boom. Our small village in the middle of nowhere has also attracted a new group of guests: a geological brigade of the People's Liberation Army.

Because Liangjiagou is a valley terrain and lacks a large area of flat land for troops to station, these soldiers adopted the model of educated youths going to the countryside and lived in groups in the homes of local villagers. They are disciplined, bring their own food, also provide rent to the villagers, and will come to a few movies in their free time, and the things that Liangjiagou came into contact with can be said to be absolutely at the leading level in northwest Zhejiang at that time.

The main task of this army was to replace the mineral resources that were in urgent need of resources at that time, and our village found that there were two kinds of minerals: antimony ore and uranium ore! The second type of uranium ore was used to make nuclear energy, so there was a direct unit stationed there, including a team of five people stationed in my ancestor's old house, which is now a vegetable garden.

At that time, this unit attached more importance to uranium ore than antimony ore, because uranium ore is an important strategic material, and they brought advanced drilling equipment, and the hole was drilled to a depth of kilometers. To this day, there are still large and small unidentified metal pipes on the mountain opposite my hometown, which are buried hundreds of thousands of meters underground, and there is no trace of rust in the wind and rain.

There was also a small team sent to investigate the antimony mines, which were located halfway up the Dianjing Mountain, and this team was the five people who lived in my old house.

It was the grandfather who was responsible for bringing these five people into the mountain, but in fact, he could only take them to the foot of the mountain, and then it was the matter of these soldiers. Four of these five soldiers are child soldiers, and the new recruits who have just been assigned to the company, and the squad leader who takes the lead is only two years old, and he is only in his early twenties.

Mining is hard work, especially in the field, where it takes months to transport the equipment needed to collect samples, and can only be carried by manpower. They disassembled the equipment and reassembled it, and the camp was set up halfway up the mountain, with two men coming down every other week to get the diesel fuel and their rations for the drilling rigs.

Occasionally, when the weather was bad, they would all come down and live in my old house and listen to some old stories from my grandfather, and they didn't leave their names, and Abba only knew to call them the People's Liberation Army. These ten-year-old child soldiers come from all over the country, and they often bring some biscuits to Abba who is still a child.

These people stayed in the mountain for about half a year, during which some people complained that there were often places on Dianjing Mountain that could not be drilled, and it was impossible to continue after drilling dozens of meters down, but after half a year, the two people in charge of going down the mountain to get the necessities said that they had found the vein, and the samples they brought down proved that it was a very pure antimony ore. At that time, the exploration of uranium ore had not been going very well, so the company decided to send the news to the superiors, wanting to transfer some more men to mine antimony ore first, and let the two soldiers go back to inform the other people to expand the camp and prepare to station more personnel.

Ten days later, a team of about ten people entered Dianjing Mountain, fifteen days later, our village suddenly opened a large number of troops, and twenty days later the entire exploration force was evacuated overnight, and the cables, generators and other equipment that were left behind did not have time to be taken away. There are still two shovels left in my hometown, and they have been used for nearly 30 years without any problems, and the quality is good, and these two shovels are left at that time.

No one knows why this unit withdrew overnight, this is a secret of the military, and the ordinary people naturally have no right to know. But every year during Qingming, a car with a military license plate will come to our village and place a wreath at the intersection leading to Dianjing Mountain, which is located two kilometers from the reservoir.

Liangjiagou picked up a large number of soldiers at that time, especially those diesel engines, which contributed to farmland irrigation for a long time later. But it was also from that time that Liangjiagou began to be isolated from the world, and a provincial highway line was obviously the closest and most convenient to walk from Liangjiagou, but the construction party would rather detour dozens of kilometers to dig tunnels.

In the following 20 years, Liangjiagou did not receive any support for modernization, and the village was abandoned, and the high-quality mineral deposits that had once sent troops out were buried in the ground. Later, there were companies that wanted to develop antimony mines, but for some reason, none of these companies were approved to mine, and every teacher who knew Chinese geography would warn Liangjiagou students not to get too close to the pipes that were halfway out of the ground.

The radioactivity of the uranium mine was so strong that it lasted until the mid-to-late 90s, and most of the villagers in Liangjiagou died of cancer. A report from all the villagers was handed to the top level, and finally a force came from above to seal up several entrances to the uranium mine, and Liangjiagou has only improved over the years, but more people like my family have migrated out.

I slept for a long time, and in my dream, I was carried up to Dianjing Mountain, where I saw abandoned camps, several bottomless pits, and more importantly, I also saw Cha Wenbin!
