Chapter 52: Escape from the Tunnel
As soon as Hu Dabo heard that there were still people below, he quickly fanned the black smoke floating out of the cave with his hat, but the visibility in the cave was still very low, and he couldn't see the bottom of the cave at all, but choked on his tears. In a hurry, he thought of the rope around his waist, but after the clothes were taken off just now, the rope didn't know where it had gone, and he thought that it was very likely that he was dragged in with the clothes, and he was worried When he looked down, he saw that the rope was still hanging in the hole, and the end was hanging on the strange thing whose head was smashed flat.
The fourth child was lying on his back on the edge of the pit, his eyes had adapted to the dim light in the tunnel, and suddenly his eyes were swayed by the sun, and he could only use his hands to block the people who were squinting around him, he didn't pay attention just now, and then he found that Hu Dafang was not wearing clothes, squatting on the ground with his bare butt and groping for something. Following his gaze, there was a person lying on the other side of the pit, with a stone full of blood on his head, and the fourth child saw the man's purple skin peeking out of his shabby clothes, and blurted out: "Why is there a mouse face here?" ”
Hu Da pulled out the rope and tied it back to his waist, but his back was sunburned by the scorching sun, and the rough hemp rope grinned in pain when he touched it, and when he heard the fourth child say that this thing was a mouse face, he asked: "What is the mouse?" Isn't this an old zombie? He almost dragged me into the hole, but he didn't scare me to death. ”
After hearing this, the sixth asked the fourth: "Fourth brother? How did you get out of the hole? What kind of rat face do you think this thing is? What's going on? ”
The fourth child was also a little dizzy from the sun, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't ask!" Hurry up and get Lao Wu and them up first, they are all about to choke to death by the black smoke below! ”
When the fifth brother ran to the grave slope with the men in the village, he found that the six brothers were supporting each other and walking towards them, all of them were gray and wounded, and then they saw that the smoke from the flames in the pine forest was overwhelming, and the sky above their heads was burned red. Lao Wu's head was simply bandaged, he ran forward to pick up the most seriously injured Xiao Qi, and with the help of the villagers, he walked to the side of the road in the grave slope to find a shady place to rest temporarily.
The village chief Niu was the last to arrive, and as soon as he came out of the village, he saw the direction of the forest blazing in the sky, and when he arrived at the place where the tomb and the others gathered, he slapped his thigh with red eyes on the spot, and cried and shouted: "It's over!" Lin Zi didn't! Lin Zi didn't! It's all those paper-burning letter balls that do evil! ”
The large forest on the slope of the Bear's Ear Peak is the village forest farm, where the trees have grown for more than ten years and can be grown by sight, but now the village has spent ten years of hard work with a fire and turned to charcoal, which is almost a catastrophe for most of the villagers who live on the forest.
The fire in the forest became more and more violent in the hot and dry weather, and had begun to spread in the direction of the village, so the village chief called a few powerful men to bring down the trees near the village to prevent the fire from spreading to the village, and then asked a young man from the village to go to the county as quickly as possible to find the county magistrate and ask him to call the militia to help extinguish the fire.
The young man also knew the seriousness of the situation, and after listening to the instructions of the village chief, he turned around and was about to start running to the county, when the fourth child saw this, he quickly got up and dragged the young man aside and whispered to him: "Wait a minute, boy, listen to me, after you find people in the county, you have to tell them that there are wartime tunnels under the grave, and there are a lot of guns and bombs hidden in them, and there are many green iron buckets with skulls painted on them, so it is best to call more people." ”
After hearing this, the young man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the fire in the mountains and forests, nodded to the fourth child, raised his feet and ran in the direction of the county seat.
More and more people came, and many women from the village also came to help, but they covered their eyes or turned their heads to the place and didn't dare to look, not because they didn't dare to look at the mountain fire, but because Hu Da was still squatting on the side with his bare buttocks.
Seeing that there were many people and women here, Hu Dabao also felt embarrassed and hid behind his brothers, and said to his brothers: "Hurry up and give me a dress to wear!" ”
In the end, the sixth couldn't stand it, so he asked someone nearby for a piece of clothing to put on him, although there was only one piece of clothing, it was much better than being naked all over, Hu Dabo took the clothes and wrapped them around his waist, and said with a smile: "I know that the sixth is the most interesting, how can it be like you, hey, what's wrong with your face?" ”
After climbing up from the hole, Lao Wu didn't say a word, just covered his right face with his hand and hummed there, asking him without saying anything, and when he looked closely, he found that Lao Gao, whose face was swollen on his side, was asymmetrical, as if he had been slapped and scraped by someone.
The fourth man sat back on the ground with a limp, he took a few breaths of cool air in pain, and when he heard Hu Dajiao ask Lao Wu what was wrong with his face, he told his brothers about the things in the tunnel from beginning to end.
It is said that the brothers found two paper figures in the underground arsenal, and they were about to take a closer look, Lao Wu pulled a grenade behind him, and looked at the smoke of the fourth child's hair exploded, and he didn't care about the pain in his legs, and the third rushed over to snatch the grenade that was about to detonate from Lao Wu's hand, Xiao Qi went to open the iron door a crack, the third took the grenade and threw it out along the crack in the door, and several people immediately closed the iron door tightly.
The power of the grenade is not very large, but because of the accumulation of a large amount of burning corpse oil in the tunnel, the explosion of the grenade became the fuse, and the shock wave caused by it quickly pushed the flames in the tunnel to spread, causing a violent explosion, everyone in the arsenal was shocked to the ground, and the solid and thick iron door was also blown inward.
After escaping this disaster, the third child just got up from the ground, and saw that Lao Wu was holding a grenade and was ready to twist the base, which scared the soul of the third child almost fell off, and he was also angry from the heart, and rushed over in two steps and kicked the grenade in Lao Wu's hand, took off the board shoes under his feet and hit Lao Wu's face all the time, and when he was tired, Lao Wu also came back to his senses and covered his face and screamed, scolding who beat him.
Seeing this, the third child grabbed Lao Wu and slapped the sole of his shoe on his face, and scolded: "You are still fucking calling? Son, you almost killed us all! ”
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the fourth and Xiao Qi hurriedly stopped the crazy third child and dragged him aside to let him dissipate his anger, while Lao Wu covered his face and sat up and hummed: "Oops! Oops! You're going to rebel? Oops, I was called. ”
Xiao Qi also had palpitations, fortunately there were two brothers of the Li family today, otherwise he would have to explain here, but he also felt sorry for Lao Wu, just now he asked the third child to use the sole of his shoe to shave so many ear scrapers and swelled his face, Xiao Qi said: "Big brother, do you remember what happened just now?" ”
Lao Wu said: "Oh, how do I know what happened, just now I was talking, suddenly someone behind me put his arm on my shoulder, and when I turned around, it was a beautiful little daughter-in-law, and then I didn't know anything, hey, why are you beating me?" ”
After listening to Lao Wu's words, several people felt that their hairs stood on end, how could there be any little daughter-in-law in this house? But you can't say no, isn't there a paper figure in the corner that looks like two women?
The oil lamp in the fourth child's hand was broken in the panic just now, but fortunately, there were several oil lamps in the arsenal, all of which were filled with oil, and half a box of matches was found near the oil lamp, and the lighting was not a problem now, so the remaining three oil lamps were all lit, and the Li brothers and each took one, and the rest was placed near Xiao Qi and Lao Wu, and the two of them went to see the pair of paper figures.
The paper man leaned in the corner of the wall, and there were a lot of green iron tongs around him, which were sealed with iron lids, and there was a circular mark painted on the barrel, and inside was a skull and two bone sticks, which looked quite scary. The Li brothers used to be porters at the docks, and they had carried countless goods, which showed that they had seen them before.
Once, a foreign merchant ship docked on the wharf, and at that time a lot of large vatons covered with canvas were unloaded from the ship, and the person who received the goods went directly to the wharf to supervise the porter's handling, and told him in advance that he must be careful not to bump into it, and also rewarded some money one by one. This made the porters particularly puzzled, at that time some people thought that the box might be a particularly valuable thing so delicate, but there was still an accident in the process of unloading, but it was not a serious matter, but one of the porters slipped and did not grasp the box and shook the other people were crooked, and actually lifted the canvas on the box to a corner, and a skull sign was revealed inside.
At that time, the old porter immediately ran away, and they would rather not have the money than move the box, and the third child inquired in private, and the old porter told him that the sign of the skull was poisonous, and he did not dare to touch it if he touched it.
When the Li brothers saw these boxes, they were also very afraid to approach, so they could only observe the paper figure a little farther away. Although the workmanship of the paper man is very good, it always looks like it is an ordinary hand-pierced out, and it is not evil in any way, but the four eyes are sharp and find that there is a wooden box under the feet of the two paper figures, here is the arsenal is full of guns, ammunition and bombs, and the wall is stacked with the kind of large boxes painted with green paint and numbered, and the size of the small wooden box can put a few magazines at most, and the two are curious about what is in there? I boldly walked over, the third child pulled out the wooden box from the foot of the paper man, brought it back to Xiao Qi and Lao Wu, put it on the ground and opened the wooden box by the light of the oil lamp, and several people looked at it, and they couldn't help but be surprised!
