This is an evening at the end of October 70, the sky and the earth are pitch black, pouring rain over a large area of land in Weinan, a muddy road, at this time there are ten male and female intellectuals from the capital Beijing to the countryside to cut the queue in the rain, they support each other, encouragement, deep foot and shallow foot, Peng Jianjun and Liao Dongfeng are also among them. However, the road was slippery in the dark, and Liao Dongfeng fell on his back and slid down a steep slope into a deep ditch.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the water in the deep ditch soon reached Liao Dongfeng's chest, at this time he recovered his sanity a little, and just wanted to get up, but suddenly, his feet sank, and he thought: "It's not good, the quagmire, it's over, it's over now." ”

In a hurry, he looked around for something to grasp, but there was nothing to catch except for some weeds, and his heart was extremely nervous as he watched himself sink down little by little. At this time, he remembered the story of the Red Army crossing the meadow told by his grandfather, and then tried to calm himself, so as to slow down the sinking speed and wait for the arrival of rescue.

Besides, Peng Jianjun and others, at that time, it was called that every day should not be called the earth, and the young people who had traveled long distances together and established friendships were panicked, but the sky was as dark as ink, and the heavy rain lost their eyes, plus there was a young woman in the team Dong Juan who was affected by the wind and cold and needed to be taken care of, so several other male intellectuals also gave up the risk to save people, in order to avoid the recurrence of such incidents, everyone had to unify their opinions and continue to hurry, and by the way, they also asked the nearby villagers for help, and at this time, A faint red light in the distance gave everyone hope.

Finally came to the vicinity of the light, and the exhausted intellectuals were dumbfounded, they saw a village that had been abandoned for a long time, and the red light they had seen before was only emitted by an oilskin paper lantern hanging high outside one of the dilapidated houses.

It stands to reason that a glimmer of light in the darkness on a rainy day can also give people hope, but the appearance of this lantern has been made very different. The oilskin paper was bright red as blood, and the skeletons inside were also randomly arranged together, at this time, with the faint light, everyone could vaguely see a grimace, and the only remaining glimmer of hope was immediately swallowed up by the cold, and what was even worse was that the shimmer that was crumbling in the darkness at this time was suddenly extinguished.

It was pitch black again, the black reached out and couldn't see the five fingers, several timid female intellectuals screamed in panic, and the other male intellectuals were also startled, and one of them was quite bold before he had the courage to touch the door.

"Is there anyone in the house? We need help! ”

Peng Jianjun, a male intellectual, shouted over and over again, but there was no movement in the house, he glanced back at the others, and it happened that at this time, a lightning bolt pierced the night sky, and the figures of several companions behind him were like hellish ghosts, and he finally couldn't help shouting loudly in a trembling voice.

"All of them are like ghosts, say something? What's wrong? ”

After soaking in the heavy rain and wind for so long, the sick female intellectual, Dong Juan, couldn't bear it anymore, she suddenly fell into a coma, and the whole person slipped away from the more and more sour hands of others, and fell into the muddy water with a 'snap'.

Seeing this situation, Peng Jianjun did not hesitate anymore, and was about to kick the door with a flying kick, but coincidentally, the door suddenly opened at this time, and the cold kick almost made Peng Jianjun regret for life, but fortunately, the person who opened the door supported him with a strong arm in time, and the horse lantern in his hand was also stunned.

The person who opened the door of the lantern was an old man, and a face under the rain hat was also full of the vicissitudes of the years, with deep eye sockets, starless eyes, dry skin folds, and very uneven facial features, the old man's face was very scary, at this time, Peng Jianjun, who had already stood firmly, saw the old man's face and immediately retreated, who knew that his feet slipped and fell on his back to the sky, and he saw that the back of his head was about to hit the ground, and he saw that the old man suddenly stretched out his big hand, grabbed Peng Jianjun's collar, and lifted him up, The old man's kind and friendly voice immediately drifted out of the door.

"Children, don't stand stupidly outside, come in and warm up."

When the educated youths were relieved to enter the house, several male intellectuals hurriedly carried the unconscious Dong Juan to the kang, and then several female intellectuals also went up to help, Peng Jianjun and other male intellectuals felt inconvenient, so they stepped aside to talk to the old man.

"Uncle, one of our classmates fell into a deep ditch before, and there is a lot of luck, can you quickly find someone to save him? I beg you! ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately asked, "Where is he?" Do you know the general directions? As he spoke, the old man took a flashlight, lit it, then tidied up his raincoat and looked up at Peng Jianjun.

To be honest, Peng Jianjun at this time no longer dared to look at the old man's face, the encounter between the two had already made him lose his soul, and he was stumbling at this time.

"I, I know, I know which ditch he fell into, I'll take you to find it."

Speaking of this, Peng Jianjun hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask: "Uncle, are you alone here?" What about the rest of the village? ”

The old man didn't answer, he grabbed Peng Jianjun and threw him a raincoat before saying, "Lead the way ahead, it's enough for me to be alone." ”

After a sentence, not only Peng Jianjun was stunned, but the others were also surprised, but looking back, since the old man and the old man faced, the old man's every move surprised others, whether it is in strength or speed, Peng Jianjun These young people can't be compared at all, so the old man still has some capital to say this, after a moment of hesitation, Peng Jianjun took the flashlight to open the way, and the old man followed, and by the way, he also lit the ghost lantern outside the door, and then the two disappeared into the darkness, There was only the sound of the wind and the rain in my ears.
