Chapter Fifty-Eight: Getting Out of Trouble
The cliff is only a few meters high, and below the cliff is the dense forest outside the stone village, where the trees are tilted and skewed, and there are many boulders that have collapsed and fallen. Looking at the woods in front of us and breathing in the cool air, Miss Bai and I couldn't help but shed tears. When we were buried under the landslide, we never dreamed that we would come out of here.
Although it was night, there were no stars and no moon, but after staying in the darkness for a long time, it seemed to us brighter than day. The two men walked down the cliff with each other, through the woods to the front of the village. The sight in front of us was so shocked that we couldn't close our mouths for a long time.
I saw that the place that was supposed to be a village had now become a 'mountain', and the highest place in the distance was as high as several floors! And next to it, that is, the mountain wall directly above the original stone village, it was smooth and smooth as if it had been split by a sharp axe.
Looking at the little 'mountain' that buried the village, I shuddered at the thought of us being buried underneath, and goosebumps came from one after another.
After watching for a while, Miss Bai and I went out of the forest and came to the cliff where we took the villagers to take refuge that day. I saw many tents on the cliff, and a few villagers surrounded by a few cauldrons, washing dishes with drizzle wipers.
The sudden appearance of Miss Bai and I frightened them all, and they thought they had hit a ghost. When asked, it has been three days since the landslide. After we were buried, Xiang Feng, Yang Shujun, and Xiaoqing ignored everyone's dissuasion and risked the risk of a secondary landslide to dig us. As a result, Xiang Feng was injured by the falling earth and rocks, and it is said that in order to save Xiaoqing, he pushed Xiaoqing away, but he hit himself, but fortunately the injury was not very serious.
The villagers carried Xiang Feng, walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, and sent him to the hospital in the mountainous county, and Xiaoqing and Yang Shujun followed to take care of Xiang Feng. The rescue team and medical team from outside the mountain only arrived today, and after investigation, they said that there were no signs of life under the landslide, and the villagers thought that Miss Bai and I had died below. In addition to grief, he waited for the aftermath. Except for those two stunned people, there were no casualties in the village, and there was no property damage. It is said that the above has long wanted to relocate the stone village, and now a piece of land has been set aside in the county and new houses are being built for them.
Although the collapse of the mountain was very large and very rare, it did not cause much casualties, so the news did not spread very far. There are often village relocations in the Taihang Mountains, which is not big news. In addition, it is remote and the roads are difficult to navigate, so no reporters came to cover the report.
These mountain people are very simple, and they will only wipe their tears and thank God for blessing the two of us safely. A villager said that Miss Bai's dog was really loyal, and in the past two days, he squatted on top of the landslide every day, and refused to leave when his leg was injured by falling stones, and he didn't eat anything thrown away from it...
"Oh, Xiao Hei is still in that stone room." It was only after the villager said that I remembered the dog.
"It's okay, it will come out on its own..."
After speaking, Miss Bai whistled loudly, and after a while, there was a dog barking in the distance, and Xiao Hei limped towards Yashan.
"Where's the little snake god?!"
A familiar voice was heard from outside the crowd, and everyone got out of the way. I saw the old man in the village, trembling over with the support of his son.
"Grandpa." I screamed.
"Good boy." The old man wiped his tears and grabbed my hand, "Grandpa blames you." ”
My heart warmed, and I smiled and said it didn't matter. The old man said that you are smart enough to blackmail me with the old cat... Miss Bai stood aside and pursed her lips and snickered, looking at me with love in her eyes.
"Listen!" The old man shuddered and waved his cane, "Kowtow to our savior!" ”
The villagers fell to their knees, and I hurriedly got them to their feet.
The old man shouted, "Everyone remember, the kindness of the Eighth Route Army can never be forgotten, no one can be a traitor, they all follow me to fight devils, don't look at the old man, although I am old, this crutch can fly out and kill one..."
I said in my heart, the old man was confused again in the blink of an eye.
The old man's son whispered, "Dad, let's go to sleep first, and then we'll fight the devil tomorrow..."
That night, Miss Bai and I each took a hot shower and stayed in a tent. One slept on a wire bed sent by the rescue team, and the other slept on the ground. Since we got out of trouble, there seems to be an inexplicable distance between us. Lying on the ground, reminiscing about the scene under the collapse, it is like a world away...
"Sleeping?" I asked softly.
"No, what's wrong?" Miss Bai said softly.
I suddenly didn't know what to say, "That's... Well, I wondered what it was in the cave that was chained in the first place, and how the hell the man in the stone chamber died. ”
"You, your brain just can't be idle." Miss Bai snorted and said softly with concern, "You can rest quickly, I think so, ask the older villagers tomorrow to see if anyone knows the inside story of the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army..."
"Okay." I smiled and said, "But I can't sleep." ”
"What, miss your girlfriend?" Miss Bai asked, with a hint of resentment in her voice.
As soon as she said this, I thought of Morning Star, and my heart ached, and I sighed softly.
"Don't worry." Miss Bai said, "You are such a good person, your girlfriend will not want you." ”
"Maybe that's what you think I'm okay." I smiled wryly.
"Don't talk about this, we should be happy to come out alive, why are you so sad, it's really." Miss Bai said angrily.
"Okay." I smiled and said, "Then let's sort out all the encounters in the mountain industry, analyze them, and see what the connection is with each other." ”
"I'm really convinced of you, and I'm not too tired." Miss Bai snorted lightly, "Okay, the little girl will accompany you." ”
"If you're sleepy, you can sleep."
"You guy doesn't sleep, where am I..."
Speaking of this, Miss Bai suddenly paused, what she wanted to say was that if I didn't sleep, she wouldn't be able to sleep. My heart fluttered, and the previous depression was swept away.
Miss Bai hurriedly changed the topic, "Hurry up, let's sleep..."
"Shall we?" I laughed, "Together?" So I'm going to bed, huh? ”
As I spoke, I pretended to get up.
"You dare!" Miss Bai snorted, "No more seriousness, I'll hit you with my shoes..."
After a joke, we began to analyze all the encounters in this industry. First, we encountered the monster that the charred two dogs turned into, and we got rid of him. After that, I went to Stone Village to spend the night, and before leaving, I asked the uncle who stayed with us to identify the family photos, so as to learn that the Ergouzi family was burned to death.
Ran to the mountain temple to investigate, and inadvertently I predicted that it was going to rain heavily, and Xiangfeng observed that the rock mass of the mountain peak above the stone village had changed, and thought that the monster that Ergouzi had become was a mountain ghost, a kind of mountain ghost born before the disaster. Based on these signs, we used Faqimenbu to determine the exact time of the mountain's collapse... This qiē seems to be full of coincidences, but in fact, the main reason is that Xiang Feng and I are Qimen magicians, and we like to explore cause and effect when encountering natural things, plus we have the ability to perceive opportunities. Therefore, except for the monster that the two dogs became, nothing else is considered a coincidence. Including the back, Miss Bai and I were buried under the landslide, and an underground passage was detected underneath. If I weren't a Qimen magician, I wouldn't have been able to die, and there was a passage below...
Along the underground passage, we entered the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army in the belly of the mountain. There is now a stone room with dead people, and in the pile of rubble at the entrance and exit of the former arsenal that was blown up outside, there is a notepad, which not only draws the gossip used to raise evil spirits, but also lets us know that there is a secret door in the stone room, so as to enter another cave parallel to the arsenal.
It was a dead hole, one side of which was blocked by a landslide. Perhaps because of this, when the Eighth Route Army started to build the arsenal, it did not have the existing cave, or it detected it, but did not dig up the landslide that blocked the cave and used it.
On the other side of the cave was a side hole, and in it was a thick, untold chain. As for the Eighth Route Army sappers who were scared to death by that thing, it was just a conjecture I came up with by association, their bodies were all rotten, and there was no way to verify the cause of death. As for Miss Bai and I getting out of trouble along the crack above the side hole, it was more of a stroke of luck than a coincidence.
In this world, there seems to be some kind of 'power' that controls the operation of a thing. If we look back at history, we will see that China's vast historical ocean is full of all kinds of coincidences and inconceivies, and if there is no coincidence at the beginning, history will be turned upside down, and the history we read now is completely different, and the wheel of history seems to continue to move forward along the trajectory created by some kind of 'force'. And Qimen Dunjia, it is the trajectory of this 'power' that is measured...
