As soon as I entered, I was stunned, under the light of the flashlight's shaking beam, I saw many unexpected things in the hall, and I wondered in my heart, how could there be so many "strange" stone lions in front of and behind the house? Suddenly, a long lightning bolt shook the sky, and in an instant, it shone as bright as snow inside and outside the hall, and from the windows and back doors, you could see that the backyard was also full of strange stone beasts.

When we took advantage of the lightning and thunder, we saw that the lonely building of the Feng family house was full of strange-shaped stone beasts, and we were full of doubts in our hearts. I walked up and shone it with a flashlight, and saw that the stone beast had a fierce and hideous face, a round body, and a little similar to the stone lion in front of the door, but it had no majestic temperament, and could only make people feel evil and hateful. I've never seen a stone lion like this, how can it be so ugly and hideous?

Shirley Yang said: "These stone beasts are not like lions in the town house, but like stone carvings of tomb guards in the mausoleum area. ”

Sun Jiuye also put on his glasses and looked at it for a long time: "It's definitely not a stone lion, with a mane like a sword, surprisingly big ears, and nostrils facing the sky, you want me to look at it...... It's a black sheep, if you want to visit the earth fairy, first look for the black sheep, the black sheep, the black ghost is the pig, I have always wondered what the relationship between the earth fairy tomb and the black sheep, I originally wanted to find the meat factory to inquire, it turns out that there is this kind of stone carving black sheep in the world. ”

My sister is a local, but she has never seen these things, so I had to ask Sun Jiuye: "Is the black sheep stone beast an ancient totem or a stone statue of Zhenling?" Professor Sun said: "It's hard to judge, the form of the black sheep has been ghosted, the style is very weird, I have never seen a mausoleum with this thing to town the tomb, and it doesn't look like a Shinto totem." After finishing speaking, he took out his notebook and wrote and drawn, depicting every detail of the stone beast, as an important reference for finding the "Earth Immortal Ancient Tomb".

I can't think of how the black sheep stone beast could be placed in the Feng family house, the world of "Qingxi Town" has changed several times, and there is no way to speculate, since there is no clue, I have to guess without thinking about it. In order to save batteries, I lit a few candles with the fat man to illuminate, find a dry place in the building to build a stove, boil some hot water first, so as to teach everyone to eat something and rest, see that the terrain of this ancient town is complicated, and tomorrow is busy.

I walked up and down the building again, and looked at every house, and saw that there were wooden tables and chairs in a room on the second floor, all of which were simple modern furniture, and there were many drawings hanging on the walls of the tables. The progress of the project is marked in detail. I used to be an engineer and knew how to read drawings, and when I looked at these drawings, I woke up. Originally, when the "air-raid shelter" was built in the Qingxi area, the Fengjiazhai was the construction headquarters, but later the international shape was changed, and the project was immediately abandoned and invalidated, and even these drawings were not taken away when they were evacuated.

In addition to a layer of dust, those "black sheep stone beasts" also have traces of underground soil, which have obviously not been cleaned up, and should have been excavated from the ground by the construction team, and before they could deal with it, they were thrown at the command post because of the interruption of the project.

Maybe the area where the "Black Sheep Stone Beast" was unearthed is not far from the "Ancient Tomb of Dixian Village", so I quickly rolled up all the drawings and took them downstairs to inform everyone of this discovery. At this time, the fat man cooked the vacuum macaroni we carried, and everyone was hungry for a long time, so they studied the map of the bomb shelter while eating.

My sister asked the fat man what kind of food is this? It's damp, it's just unpalatable. The fat man said, "This is an American girl, but what does it taste like...... It's really miserable, it's definitely not the fat man's craft trend, the main thing is that American macaroni is this kind of thing, it is said that if any American wants to commit suicide slowly, he will eat this every day. ”

But I didn't care what it tasted like, I could fill my stomach, and the battle was quickly resolved in two bites. After looking at the time, it was only nine o'clock in the evening, and although I felt a little tired, I still had the strength to look through the maps carefully, took out the few that might be used separately, and decided to go to the underground bomb shelter tomorrow to explore.

Shirley Young asked me what my plans were? I unfolded the map, pointed to the icon on it, and told her my idea: "Qingxi air-raid shelter is a historical product of the period of deep digging and extensive grain accumulation, and I estimate that the large-scale air-raid shelter built here should be related to the large number of underground mines and mines here, and the same is true from the drawings. However, the map also shows that there have been many landslides and flooding, and the project is not going well. ”

I used the method of elimination to enclose several areas where it was impossible to dig out the ruins of the historic sites, all the mountains near Qingxi have been hollowed out, the Yanjing mine road and places such as the air-raid shelter, including the underground of this ancient town, are also empty, there can be no "ancient tombs of Dixian Village", and we should focus on the "vacuum area".

Shirley Yang was the one who nodded in understanding, and immediately understood what I meant, and said: "It makes sense, is the vacuum area the so-called vein blind spot?" The last unearthed location of the black sheep stone beast must be the area where the engineering tunnel and the mine tunnel do not coincide. ”

I said yes, before the construction of the air-raid shelter for war readiness, the nearby mountains and rivers have been thoroughly surveyed, saving us a lot of troubles, since we know the important hint of "if you want to visit the earth immortals, first find the black sheep", the preferred target is naturally the most likely to excavate the "black sheep stone beast" location. All the mine tunnels are excavated according to the trend of the Wu salt vein, so it is extremely irregular.

From the analysis of the drawings, only the westernmost section of the Qingxi combat readiness air-raid shelter was newly opened according to the need, and the original mine tunnel was not used at all, and according to the standards on the drawings, the underground tunnel at the west end has not yet been completed, which shows that the project in this area has been carried out to the end, as for the actual situation and how to act next, we have to see on the spot to master.

Shirley Yang had a little more confidence: "I'm not afraid of clues, I'm afraid that there are no clues, now that we have found some clues, let's peel off the cocoon, and finally find the ancient tomb of Dixian Village." ”

Professor Sun listened for a long time, and said approvingly: "Hu Bayi, a veteran soldier, has experience, and he grasped the key points of his work as soon as he arrived in Qingxi. He said that when he was fighting in North Korea in the past, he used to sit on captured American jeeps and eat canned American food every day, and once the US military plane went through the eaves to check his household registration, and the bombs were thrown in front of his eyes without hurting a single hair. That's why I was determined to flee back to my hometown. In the past, I always thought that it was impossible for him to run here alive, but now that I think about it, those of you who have really been tested by the fire of war are indeed outstanding, and I don't know ...... Captain Feng is him" In the end, I fell into deep thought full of worry.

I advise Sun Jiuye not to think about it, some people suspect that you murdered the head of the Feng regiment who has been missing for many years after absconding, but there is no evidence of death, in fact, only the villain who wants to harm you will judge like this, they don't want to think about it, with your ability to do it in secret, I am afraid that you can't bear the head of the Feng regiment, that master is a volunteer regiment-level commander who has fought with the US army, so it makes sense that the organization did not convict you. Anyone with a bit of a brain can figure this out, but it just hasn't been officially clarified for you.

I think as long as Captain Feng can really escape here back then, he will most likely hide in the "Ancient Tomb of Dixian Village", whether he is dead or alive now, he will be found by us. Your unjust case will be settled by then.

Now that we have a preliminary plan of action, there is no need to worry. The people assigned the order of the vigil, and then they fell asleep listening to the rustling rain outside, and did not speak all night. The next morning, it was still rainy, Qingxi Town was full of dirt pits and mud ditches, and the mountain road was muddy and impossible to walk after the rain, so we had to decide to go down from the tunnel in the backyard to the combat bomb shelter on the west side.

It is said that this tunnel was originally a secret road, because before the liberation of the Feng family house, most of them were the residences of landlords and mine owners, because the social situation was unstable, warlords and bandits were rampant, and most of the mine owners who mined witch salt were rich in gold, and their hands were stained with the blood of mining slaves. In order to prepare for the unexpected, in addition to raising a group of "dead soldiers" in the house, as the caretaker of the home, he also deliberately left a secret passage so that he could quickly escape in case of an accident.

However, almost all the hidden passages left behind at the beginning were destroyed during the construction of civil air defense facilities, and the hidden entrances were exposed, and the interior became part of the large air-raid shelter. The so-called "air-raid shelters" are not only for the common people to avoid air raids and bombing, but also have the role of "three defenses" at the very least; in those days, the imperialists did not die and clamored at every turn to carry out "surgical strategic bombing" against China; in order to actively prepare for war and defense, the whole country carried out large-scale "digging deep holes and accumulating grain"; a great role of this kind of underground facilities is to conceal the storage of large quantities of war materials, from missiles and airplanes to grain and clothing, all of which can be included in them. It was designed and built in accordance with wartime requirements, and the scale was not small.

This area under the ancient town of Qingxi is all connected round arch warehouses, all built in the former mines, and the light gray cement walls give people a very solemn and cold look. Where the cement falls off, you can also see the rock formation of the original mine, and the water seepage in the local area is very strict.

Although there is a light every ten meters in the air-raid shelter, the lines are damp, and the simple power generation equipment has long been damaged, so it can no longer be used, so it can only be illuminated by a "wolf's eye flashlight".

In the underground passage, all the way to the west, the damp smell inside the bomb shelter gradually thickened, and halfway through, I encountered a section of caves that had collapsed, and I could no longer follow the original route. I took out the map and looked at it, but I only bypassed the fork in the road, and then retreated to the crosswalk, and looked at the markings on the map, if I went down the passage on the left, it would be a primitive mine road, which had left the range of the bomb shelter, and there was a fence at the entrance, and a wooden sign was hung.

I raised the flashlight to shine, there seemed to be handwriting on the wooden sign, but it was covered by mud, the fat man stepped forward and wiped a few times with his hand, the red handwriting was immediately revealed, the fat man read word by word: "Collapse ahead - dangerous, Lao Hu, it seems that this is a mine road, there may be a danger of landslide, it must not be easy to walk, let's go to the right to bypass better." ”

Shirley Yang held a flashlight and shone on the right side of the passage: "There are also words on the right wall, dare to fight, dare to win...... What does that mean? ”

I looked up at the slogan on the concrete wall on the right, which was very familiar, and said with a smile: "You must not understand, this is called the supreme directive." On the map, it is indicated that there is an alternate passage on the right, which is relatively narrow and simple, but it is already completed, comrades, I don't think we have to pick and choose when we get here, so we have to enter from the side with the slogan. ”

The fat man said: "Deler, listen to Commander Hu's supreme instructions, it's right to walk, walk ......" and then swaggered in first. I was worried that the fat man would leave the line too quickly, so I hurriedly called the other three and followed him forward quickly. The water seepage on the west side of the passage is more severe, which may also be related to the heavy rain that fell overnight, although there are drainage outlets on both sides, the water on the ground is still shallow at the foot level, and the bottom of the cement wall is covered with green moss.

The black-green wall is full of snails, the white flowers are very conspicuous, there are more snails in it, there are living and dead empty shells, and when you step on it, there will be a sound of "click, click, click" shell shattering.

Although the younger sister is bold, at this time, the soles of her feet are stepping on the sparse snail dead body, and she inevitably feels a little disgusting: "How could there be more snails than Lang'er before?" Where did they all come from? ”

I turned to her and said, "There is too much water seepage in this place, and the moss is thick to attract snails, as long as you don't think about it, you won't feel disgusting, follow me, don't fall behind......" Before I finished telling her, I heard someone in front of me fall to the ground with an "oops", Sun Jiuye was slipped on all fours by snails everywhere, and both hands were pierced by broken shells.

I quickly stretched out my hand to pick him up, and saw that he didn't break his muscles and bones before he was slightly relieved, and he couldn't rest in this narrow and damp passage, so he gritted his teeth and insisted on persevering, fortunately, Sun Jiuye is a person who has suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins, and he didn't care if he fell and bruised, and he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

I saw that there were old and young people in this team, and it was not a joke to break my arms and legs, so I asked my sister and Shirley Yang to help Professor Sun, who was limping, and I walked with the fat man in front of us, while using the "sapper shovel" to shovel away the large snails on the ground in front of them and clear the road for them.
