Ding Sitian carried the gas lamp that was about to run out of fuel, and by the dim light like a bean, he tried to make out the remaining handwriting on the cement slab: "Water supply troops? 3916？ What does that mean? Is it a military facility? ”

When the fat man and I heard her words, we squatted down and went to see the cement, this flat cement brick, it seems that it was deliberately made to seal the shaft, but it did not kill the wellhead, if you use a pry hook to open it from above, it can be opened lightly, and the cement bricks are coded in both volumes, which is a certain standard building material.

Since the Qin Dynasty, in order to facilitate the supervision and management, there have been regulations to carry the name of the craftsman on the bricks and tiles, but how to look at this cement brick is not like an antiquity, what is the "water supply troops?" Is it military? Is 3916 the number of troops? "I guess the army has excavated the cave in the middle of the tunnel, which is full of ghost stones? I looked at the fat man and Ding Sitian, they were also confused, and they couldn't guess what it was for.

I said to them: "Don't care about the number on the cement, there are too many secrets hidden in the Hundred Eyes Cave, even if we each have one more head, and the six heads add up to think about these things, since you can't figure it out, don't bother to think about it, I see that this forest is full of dangers, in case you encounter poisonous insects such as worms again, it will be troublesome, but the terrain in the forest is complex and difficult to distinguish, we have lost our mounts, and we have to carry the old sheepskin, and it is impossible to go out in the dark overnight, The only way to do this is to find a relatively safe place and wait until dawn before you do anything. ”

Ding Sitian looked at the starry sky and said to me worriedly: "I think this night is really slow and long, we don't even have a watch, and I don't know what time it is at night, and how long it will be before dawn." As she spoke, she extinguished the gas lamp, and there was a faint starlight in the forest, and she planned to save the last bit of lamp oil for emergencies.

I also looked up at the starry sky, although the light of the stars and the moon was bleak, fortunately, the most important stars could still be vaguely recognized, first found the handle of the Big Dipper to confirm the direction, and then found the three stars, only to see the three stars playing horizontally, shining with a shimmer hanging obliquely in the east. In the northeast, the time is measured by the position of the three stars in the sky at night, and judging from this, I estimate that it is only around ten o'clock at night, and it is dark early in the barren mountains and mountains, and it has been six or seven hours since it got dark, but it is still not midnight.

The fat man will also look at the three-star method of distinguishing the time, he pinched his fingers, it will take at least seven hours to dawn, where is it safe for such a long time? It is better to go back to the crypt just now to deal with it for a night, and then find a way to leave at dawn.

But as soon as the three of them remembered the large number of wild mice in the cave, the dirty and damp environment, the large rocks that suppressed ghosts, the danger of collapse at any time, and the evil mural of "Huang Xiangu", they immediately dispelled this thought, and I saw that there was an old tree next to me that was growing thick and tall, so I decided to climb the tree to look at the nearby terrain before making a decision.

When I came to the tree, I used my hands and feet together, climbed the trunk and climbed the tree, at this time the fog in the forest had dispersed, I stepped on the branch of the tree and hugged the tree with both hands, looked down, I couldn't see the faces of Ding Sitian and the fat man clearly, I waved to them, and didn't care if they saw it, so I looked up to observe the surrounding terrain.

But at this time, the dark clouds cover the moon, there are only a few cold stars in the sky, and after looking for a long time, I only see the shadows of the nearby trees hazy, and I can't see what can be accommodated.

I held the trunk of the tree, rubbed my eyes with one hand, and twisted my neck to look at the other side, just at this moment the sky was fluttering, and the cold moonlight shone out from the thin clouds, and by this hazy moment of moonlight, I found behind me, at most a few trees away, a vague shadow, as if it were a large building, because all the houses were lifeless and unlit, so it seemed that there was only black pressure and an approximation of the outline of the building facilities.

When I looked closely, the clouds had once again obscured the moonlight, and a little farther away it was pitch black, and I couldn't even see the shadow of the outline, and I wasn't too surprised to find some houses nearby because of the cement slab with the troop number I had found earlier, but I really didn't expect it to be so close to us.

I wanted to wait a little longer, and see it clearly when the moonlight leaked down again, but the fat man and Ding Sitian were worried that I would stumble and fall under the tree, and urged me to hurry down, so I hurriedly slipped down from the tree, and explained to the fat man and others what I saw on the tree, there seemed to be a house and other facilities over there, but there was no movement in the black light and fire inside, if it was really a building like a house, even if it was uninhabited, it at least had four walls and a roof, maybe you could find something to eat inside, it was better than being cold and dark in the forest, So the three agreed to go there and wait for the dawn.

I pointed the way, and the three of them walked slowly together in the old sheepskin, and as we walked I noticed that someone was following us, but when I looked back there was no movement, and I thought I had heard it wrong, and I didn't take it to heart, and led everyone through the knee-deep grass in the woods, and was confronted by a three-story building.

The appearance of this building is ordinary, but it has a foreign smell, the form is not Chinese or Western, the windows have glass, it is very well preserved, it is definitely a modern building, the fat man looked in the window for a long time, there is no light in it, nothing can be seen, but all the windows are seamed with seals, and there are some strange Japanese characters and symbols on them.

Ding Sitian said to me: "This building is neither like a western-style building, nor like a modern Chinese-style building, in my impression, only the Japanese will build this kind of strange style building, Su Xiu will never build a building here, this is probably what kind of water supply army barn, right?" At that time, the Japanese followed the example of Europe, and admired the foreign world very much, thinking that everything in Europe was good, and even ordinary buildings would more or less absorb some of the characteristics of Western architecture, if that was the case, it would have been abandoned for at least 20 years.

I nodded and didn't speak, thinking in my heart, it turns out that this place is occupied by Japanese devils, are the bandits of the "Mu'er Society" traitors? All the things that were dug up were used to honor the little devils? I don't know what kind of secret is hidden in this building, but these things are completely unreliable by speculation, and I will wait until dawn to talk about it, I beckoned the fat man to pick up the old sheepskin, and walked along the wall to find the door.
