We arrived on the morning of the seventh day, and we were the only ones left on the train, and when we arrived at the station, a man in green uniforms led us down to handle the handover formalities.

The first thing you get off the bus is the cold, and in this season Southerners can still wear shorts and shirtless, but here people have already started to wear long-sleeved singles. Alone, we were left on the railroad side, and the people over there said that someone would come to pick us up, and then we didn't care about it anymore. It wasn't until noon that I finally saw a donkey cart appear on the horizon in the distance, and an old man with a shotgun and a gray beard wielding a long whip and singing a little song in the voice of a mountain man.

His surname was Miao, and he seemed to be quite familiar with the people in the station, and those people politely completed the formalities with him, and then led him out of the house. This man is said to have arrived two days before us, he is tall and fat, and the most striking thing in his hand besides the salute is the long string of red peppers hanging from his shoulder, like a machine gun in battle.

This fat man's surname is Shi, and his name is very interesting called "Shi Dangdang". The most interested in this name is Cha Wenbin, because Shi Kangdang is the name of an object, which is generally erected in the streets and alleys, especially on the wall of the T-junction and other road rushes, which is called the murder position, and is used to ward off evil spirits.

In the past, the ancients believed that Taishan stone has the effect of suppressing evil spirits, and will carve a few big characters on the stone, "Taishan stone dares to be", and some will add a lion and tiger as a relief on the stone, which is used to suppress the ominous customs.

The ancients said: The division is fierce, the stone dares to be, the inviolable, the dragon is not young. Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty climbed Mount Tai and brought back four Taishan stones and placed them at the four corners of Weiyang Palace to ward off evil spirits. Tarzan is believed to have a sacred mountain that blesses the world, so the stones of Tarzan are believed to have a god who blesses the family. Later, Taishan stone was personified, the surname stone name dare dang, also known as the stone general, and later developed the carved portrait of the stone dare dang.

So as soon as this fat man opened his mouth, he said that in the future, we will call him General Shi, this person's hometown is Sichuan, and he has lived in the compound of the Chengdu Military Region since he was a child.

Where are the two donkey carts enough to pull us, and General Shi alone can make the donkey tired enough, but fortunately, when they go out for the first time, the big guys still have a fresh energy, so in addition to letting Yuan Xiaobai and those salutes follow Uncle Miao to ride in the car, the three of us men only rely on our feet.

Savage Tun is not a lot of way from this station, Uncle Miao said that he went out last evening and did not arrive until this morning. That place, which belongs to the place where the Great Khingan Mountains and Russia meet, is in a mountain recess, where they used to live with some lumberjacks, and then the Japanese invaded the northeast, and the refugees entered the mountains one after another, and slowly formed a tunzi with a scale of about 100 households.

Along the way, Uncle Miao told us that there are savages in that place, so it is called Savage Tun, he is not a person in the tunzi, the earliest time was Zhang Zuolin's soldiers, and later the Northeast fell, he was unwilling to go, and participated in the local anti-Japanese salvation armed forces, and the Japanese did it with real swords and guns. Once, when he was wounded, the team was scattered, and he ran down the hill in a daze, and passed out in the forest and was rescued by a girl.

Although the age difference between the two is a little big, the girl likes bloody men, and after taking care of his injuries, the two agreed to get married after driving away the Japanese. After liberation, Uncle Miao was demobilized and returned to Savage Tun, and then married the girl, and the two of them did not move in the first few years of marriage, thinking that they would not have children in this life. After more than ten years, his daughter-in-law found out that she was pregnant, and it was too late for the two to be happy, but fate made people, Mrs. Miao died in childbirth, leaving him a daughter and died.

The road to Savage Tun is far more difficult than imagined, the mountain road in the north is completely different from the south, it seems to be flat but you can't go to the end, and the donkey began to lose his temper after half a salary. It's no wonder that it hasn't closed its eyes for a day since yesterday, and it's tired at the moment and only stands still, refusing to go any further.

When he came out, Uncle Miao asked his daughter to make some flatbread, and then he just took it out and distributed it to these children, looking at a few mountains in the distance, Uncle Miao estimated that he would not be able to go back tonight, the livestock was too tired, so he said: "Let's rest for a while, there is a temple on the hill in front, spend the night there tonight, and then continue to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

This newcomer is not familiar with the place, and a few of us have no opinions, and it is all up to Uncle Miao to arrange it alone. After resting for more than half an hour, the sun had begun to set in the west, and even Yuan Xiaobai got out of the car just to reduce the burden on the donkey, and some of the salutes were also taken by each other.

We are all children in the mountains, that Shi Dangdang is the commander of the military region, and his physical fitness is very good, but we underestimate that Yuan Xiaobai, she is a girl's family, and she is from the city, I thought she was very pampered, but I didn't expect to be inferior compared to us boys, and finally according to the scheduled time, we came to the so-called "temple".

From the outside, this place is really dilapidated, located on the slope of the mountain road, there are a large row of sparse houses, presumably the original scale is not small. It's just that the houses are completely covered by dense forests, and some of the thick tree trunks have directly broken through the roofs, and the weeds are more than a man high.

If no one takes this place, it is estimated that few people can find it, Uncle Miao said that he used to fight guerrillas in this place

I came here and stayed for one night, and I was chased by the enemy at that time, but I only remember that there is a big hall here.

Only half of the temple door is still hanging obliquely on the door, and the remaining half has long been gone, there is a door plaque at the entrance, and the tree vine and spider webs on the plaque have long been entwined into a ball, and the shadow can only see the symbol of an insect and bird seal, I don't recognize the word, so I asked: "What is that?" ”

Uncle Miao has a flashlight in his hand, the kind that uses two No. 1 batteries, and the light is not very strong. ”

"How do you know?" I was a little surprised, he was said to be my age, and I really can't remember any teacher who taught us this font.

"The master has taught." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, perhaps remembering Ma Sufeng, who was still locked in the cowshed, so he didn't say anything more.

Uncle Miao took a few of us in, but I didn't expect that no one would want to leave as soon as we stepped in.

Shi Fatzi was the first to mutter: "Can't you see clearly? ”

Uncle Miao was holding a flashlight in his hand, and when he shone it in, he saw a vast fog, and he couldn't see anything, and there was a burst of "coo, coo" sound from a corner of the yard. My courage has been relatively large since I was a child, and I didn't dare to go any further when I saw this formation, but I was close to Uncle Miao's side.

The big fat man looked around and said, "This place won't be haunted, right?" ”

Uncle Miao's face changed, and he shouted to the fat man: "Don't talk nonsense, the mountains don't talk about this!" ”

Yuan Xiaobai said: "There is a lot of humidity in this mountain, and now the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the fog is normal." The light color temperature of the flashlight is not enough, and the penetration is not strong, so it may be better to find some dry wood to make a torch. ”

The stone fat man grinned and said, "Yes, yes, it makes sense, make two torches." ”

We each have a torch, the fire has a certain dispersal of the fog, this yard is very large, when Uncle Miao came, decades have passed, and he doesn't remember the details of the beginning. There are many Buddha statues in the courtyard, some of them only have a body and no head, and most of them have been buried in the soil, crooked, oblique, and upside-down, and the Buddha statues are entangled by all kinds of vines, at least in my eyes, I would rather live in the forest outside, this place is too weird.

But Uncle Miao insisted that we live here, he said that there are a lot of tigers, leopards and jackals in this place, and we are still children, and he will be responsible for handing it over to him. To be honest, listening to the "cooing" sound, my calves began to tremble a little, and Yuan Xiaobai didn't seem to be so calm at this time, just leaning on me tightly.

The fat man didn't know if he was brave or really afraid, and yelled at us: "Why are you stunned, go in!" "It's not enough to shout slogans, he probably took the lead in showing his leadership qualities, and we all stayed where we were. I only heard a "grunt", and then a black shadow hit the stone fat man directly, and suddenly the torch in his hand splashed everywhere, and he lit the torch not long after

The stone fat man shouted again and again: "Ouch, you ***, what the hell!" ”

This time the fat man only felt a pain on the back of his hand, and the torch in his hand fell to the ground at once, which made him anxious and turned around and shouted at us: "You can't bear to watch your comrades being bullied like this?" ”

It's not that we don't help, it's that we don't know what to do, God knows what the hell it is. As soon as he finished speaking, I heard another "grunt", and I only felt a gust of wind rushing towards my façade......
