Chapter 45: The Underground Warehouse
Before the thought could fall, the thing pounced. I screamed and dodged, pushed Miss Bai hard, raised my hand and slashed at the thing with a sword. The sword was not impartial, and it happened to be cut on its arm, but I didn't expect it to chop off half of its arm along with its arm like peeling tofu. I never thought that a wooden seven-star sword could have such power, and I was not mentally prepared at all, because the force was too strong, the seven-star sword cut off the arm of that thing and flew out. I was stunned when the thing roared at me, and it was clearly a human roar...
"Ah Leng be careful!" Miss Bai screamed and stopped in front of me, flying up and kicking the thing.
At the same time, Xiao Hei roared wildly and went around the back and bit the back of the thing. The ghost thing stopped attacking, opened its mouth wide, and roared wildly while shaking its body desperately, trying to shake Xiao Hei away. However, the dog was very heroic, and bit its back so hard that it was thrown off the ground, and it refused to let go.
I hurriedly pulled out a token, pounced on it, and shoved it into the thing's open mouth. The ghost thing let out a thunderous roar, and with a violent flick, Xiao Hei flew out with a piece of burnt black flesh that had been bitten off.
Then, with a thud, the thing fell to the ground with a thud, and I rolled and picked up the Seven Star Sword, jumped in front of it, and plunged it into its chest. And then the didn't move...
The whole process only took five minutes, but it made the two of them and one dog tired. After a long breath, I slowly stood up and said, Let's go back first, so as not to worry Ah Feng and them.
When we returned to the campsite, it was already dawn, and when we came back, Xiang Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, and Yang Shujun also smiled.
"Hey, these two young men are back." Yang Shujun said with a smile, "Where have you two been romantic, it has taken so long..."
Miss Bai's face turned red, she pouted at Yang Shujun, and hurriedly walked away, I was also a little embarrassed. In this line, I showed the real side of Miss Bai's indifferent shell. However, I still don't know enough about her, but I think she is still wrapped in a kind of fog. But I already know at the moment that she is a very affectionate person, who looks like ice on the outside and fire on the inside. Perhaps, the reason why she is so indifferent in front of the living is just out of a kind of self-preservation, I thought to myself. However, I don't know why she was so kind to me all of a sudden, was it because I fainted in her arms when I was at the health center? Or was it because the last time I was in that cemetery, I was afraid that she would throw up and let her bite my arm? It's hard to understand... Women are a mystery in themselves, and sometimes you can't figure out what's going on in their hearts...
I told Xiang Feng and Yang Shujun about the experience of this industry, except for the subtle changes in my relationship with Miss Bai.
"Let's go, pack our things, let's go have a look." Xiang Feng said.
Although it was daytime, the sunlight did not shine into the forest at all, and it looked dim. Seeing the ghost thing lying on the ground, Xiaoqing jumped up in fright.
"I said I wouldn't let you come, but I wanted to come." I said to Xiaoqing, "Sooner or later, I will be scared to death by your surprise." ”
"Huh, what do you care?" Xiaoqing pouted at me, "Oh... I know, you're afraid I'm in the way, so you won't let me come, so you can take the opportunity to seduce Sister Xin..."
Miss Bai pinched her with a smile.
"What the hell is this?" I pointed to that thing.
Xiang Feng and Yang Shujun shook their heads at the same time.
"Let's go down to this cave and see what this underground space looks like." I beckoned.
"Don't come down with you two ladies." I said.
Miss Bai nodded, and Xiaoqing grimaced at me.
I took the lead, took a deep breath, and was about to lean into the hole when Miss Bai stopped me.
"Ah Leng."
"Huh?" I was stunned and looked at her.
"Be careful." Miss Bai said with concern.
Xiaoqing sighed, "It's not right, Sister Xin, why do you care so much about him?" Recruit from the truth. ”
Yang Shujun's face was full of wrinkles with a smile, "These two young people seem to have hope, how about the uncle be a matchmaker for you?" …”
I ignored them, but felt warm in my heart, grabbed the edge of the hole with both hands, and leaned down. The hole was about two meters deep, and I leaned down a little bit, and finally when I let go of my hand, I felt like my whole body was falling lightly, and then, 'bang' fell to the bottom of the hole.
I bent down and turned on the flashlight to shine it, only to see that there was a hand-paved stone staircase at the bottom of the cave, extending downward. The more I looked, the more strange I became, and I cautiously walked down the stone steps to the depths, and Yang Shujun and Xiang Feng also quickly descended into the cave and followed closely behind me.
After walking seven or eight stone steps, we came to a large space. The flashlight shone in all directions, and it turned out to be a stone room with stone repairs. There are a lot of slogans written on the four walls in large red traditional characters, but most of them have been blurred, and if you carefully identify them, they are all 'resisting Japan and saving the country', 'all of us are united', 'military and civilian unity', 'safety and fire prevention'... Wait a minute.
"This is the underground warehouse of the Eighth Route Army back then." Yang Shujun said.
"Uncle Yang, how do you know?" I asked curiously.
"This area was the anti-Japanese base behind the enemy of the Eighth Route Army." Yang Shujun said, "About ten miles north from here, there is a stone village, which was originally a large mountain village, but now most people have moved out of the mountain, and the Eighth Route Army was stationed in that village. There was originally a large cave in the mountain behind the village, which was the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, which was later blown up when the troops withdrew. As for this warehouse, it should have been used to store grain and munitions, and a secret place like this would not be known to ordinary people, and it should have been blown up when it was abandoned..."
This Yang Shujun is like a different person once he is serious, and from his narration, it seems that he is not only familiar with this area, but also knows a lot of previous history.
Under the flashlight, I saw that the stone room in front of me was very intact, without any signs of damage, and it was very dry, only slightly suffocating. As I was looking, the pillar of light swept away, and I suddenly saw what seemed to be something in the far corner.
"Come here." I beckoned.
When I came to see it, it was a sparse futon, dirty and tattered, and judging from the black pattern on it, it should be a modern thing.
"How could anyone live here? I muttered. Three people, you look at me, I look at you.
I grabbed the corner of the futon with my hand, lifted it up, and rolled out a black pillow, followed by a nausea-like musty smell, my eyes blackened, and I took a few steps back, almost not sitting on the ground.
"it." I exclaimed, "How sloppy does this man have to be to sleep on such a futon?" ”
Yang Shujun covered his nose and said, "That's it, uncle, I originally thought that there was no one more sloppy than me..."
Xiang Feng slowly squatted down as if he was fine, put his hand into the futon, and didn't even frown.
"Ah Feng, what are you doing?" I asked in amazement.
Xiang Feng didn't answer, and after a moment, he took out something from it, which was a picture frame. I used a flashlight to take a photo, and I saw a family photo inside.
This is a family photo of a mountain family, with a stone house in the background, and two elderly people sitting in front of it, smiling very plainly. Behind stood a couple holding a child, a woman holding a child, and a man standing aside, smiling like a monkey. To say that he looks like a monkey does not mean that he is thin and has a monkey-like expression. In short, the man's face in the photo feels very uncomfortable, and it can't be said to be uncomfortable.
There is no doubt that this picture frame belongs to the owner of this futon. Judging by the clothes of the people in the photo, the photo should have been taken in the nineties of the last century. Based on the dirty and broken bedding in front of us, we speculate that the man in the photo should live here.
But who is he? Why live here? … My eyes lit up.
"Could it be that the one who lives here is the one who is burnt up there?" I blurted out.
Xiang Feng pondered and didn't answer, Yang Shujun thought for a while and said, "Fuck, if it's that ghost thing, then it's really sloppy enough, since it can run to the waterfall to take a bath, can't it wash this futon too?" Although no one knows what it is, at least hygiene still needs to be paid attention to..."
"Whatever it is." Xiang Feng said, "Let's throw its body down and burn it, then seal the hole and leave..."
We took the frame out and put it in our backpack. Then throwing the ghost thing down the hole, Yang Shujun took out a bottle of soju, and poured it down, while the distressed facial muscles kept twitching.
After pouring a bottle of wine, Yang Shujun licked the bottle, threw away the bottle, lit a piece of paper, threw it into the hole, and burned it with a 'bang'. After that, we sealed the hole with earth.
At noon, Yang Shujun stretched his waist and said, "Okay, hurry up and find a place to cook, uncle, I'm hungry." ”
Yang Shujun took us to the north for about a mile, and came to a mountain stream, there are many waterfalls and streams in Taihang Mountain, and everywhere is beautiful like a painting.
"Uncle Cousin, how long do you have to go?" Xiaoqing snorted, "My feet are about to break." ”
"It's early." Yang Shujun said with a smile.
I said in my heart, I don't know why Yang Shujun's parents sent Yang Niansheng to 'exile' so far back then...
"Sister Qing, if you can't walk, just wait for us here." Miss Bai said.
"Ah, Sister Xin." Xiaoqing shouted, "Why did you breathe in the same breath as Ah Leng and breathe out of one nostril?" You've mutinied... You're still laughing, see if I don't splash you with water..."
Amidst laughter, we started our lunch on the second day of our journey into the mountains. There was also a cheerful cry from Xiao Hei. During the meal, I sat with Miss Bai, and every time Yang Shujun took a sip of wine, he raised his head contentedly and looked at us with a wicked smile.
After eating and drinking, Yang Shujun lit a cigarette and took a beautiful puff.
"Uncle Yang, how are we going next, where are we going to spend the night at night?" I asked.
"Remember the stone village I mentioned earlier?" Yang Shujun said.
I nodded.
