Chapter 20: The Big Secret

Liang Guodong was very unwilling. The reason he seeks the secret is to clear his name and prove that he is not a traitor hiding in the ranks. He settled down in the county and wandered around the mountains without any trouble. He believes that the core of this big secret lies in that mysterious cave. Strangely, he couldn't find the location of the cave.

Liang Guodong is a poor child who came out of the mountains, and was taken into the mountains to hunt by adults when he was three years old. He has his own unique approach to identifying complex terrain. But no matter how I looked for it this time, I couldn't find the location of the cave in my memory.

That's very wrong. After nearly half a year of exploration, he gradually figured out what was going on. When he found out about this fact, he felt a chill to his bones.

That mountain forest has been transformed by people. The trees, rocks, weeds, and everything else on the key mountain path leading to the cave have been relocated, and the original path has also shown signs of being blown up. The only people who can make such a gesture are the elderly.

It was clear that he wanted to turn that cave into a permanent secret.

Liang Guodong figured out this rule, and re-planned the path into the mountain. He discovered the cruel fact that it was not impossible to reach the cave, and the only way to reach it was through an extremely dangerous mountain stream. This mountain stream is extremely deep, and there are towering cliffs on the left and right, and you will be dizzy when you look at it, and you will be crushed when you stumble.

He pondered it and decided to visit the old man in the countryside who had guided the old man back then. These aborigines, who have lived here all their lives, must know a lot about the situation in the mountains. Let them lead the way, and get twice the result with half the effort.

But when he visited, he was surprised to find that things were getting more and more wrong. The two old men who led the way back then, the old man surnamed Zhang and the old man surnamed Liu, have passed away. Calculate the time, it is the time when you are shot. The two old men, who seemed to be in unison, died with a brush.

The attitude of these two families was also very bad, as soon as they heard that Liang Guodong wanted to find a guide to enter the mountain, they reacted very abnormally, and they were angry, and they almost beat him out with a pickaxe.

The incident also aroused the vigilance of the local people. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liang Guodong simply lived in the mountains and became a wild man. He built wooden huts, collected firewood, and made his own weapons for hunting. Other than that, his day consisted of searching for a way to access the forbidden mountain.

This mountain is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and the only direction that can be entered and exited has been destroyed by the old people. If you go hard inside, you will inevitably turn around, and you will encounter "ghosts hitting the wall", and it will not be easy to turn out after the worst, and many times you will be trapped in the woods, and you can't even see the road.

The more Liang Guodong explored, the more he felt that the evil gate was, he didn't know about Feng Shui at that time, but he vaguely felt that the layout of every tree and stone in the mountain seemed to have a deep meaning, which could create a maze.

Liang Guodong simply didn't explore. It was early autumn, and he had to wait until winter came. When the cold wind comes, the trees will wither, and the weeds will not grow, leaving a bare mountain, I will see how you play in this labyrinth.

In the winter, the leaves of the trees have fallen, leaving only the withered trunks, and the whole mountain looks much cleaner at first glance. Liang Guodong stood on the opposite hillside, observing from a distance, and to his surprise, although the mountain was not sheltered by leaves, he still could not find the mountain road. Because the stones on the mountain form a looming circle, ring each other, the more you go up the circle, the denser it becomes, and you will be dazzled after looking at it for a while.

He discovered a very cruel reality, even if he reached this mountain, but in the labyrinth-like mountain path, he still could not determine the location of the cave.

After a cold winter, the climate warms up and the plants recover. Liang Guodong began to collect bark and rub ropes, and he made a vow in his heart that he would not hide the secret and die blindly. After a long time of hard work, he finally kneaded a thick and long rope, went through the test of life and death, and finally climbed the mountain stream to the mountain.

Hearing this, I was already fascinated and asked softly, "Did he go in?" ”

Liang Jiwu didn't answer, paced back and forth with his pocket, and said after a while: "He found the cave, but he didn't enter it." ”

Liang Guodong finally discovered the cave, but it was sealed tightly by stone, and he couldn't enter it alone. To reopen it, it is necessary to rely on the strength of many people and the aid of explosives. This was more difficult for him at that time than to ascend to the sky.

The matter was just put down. It's a few years. The years are like flowing, the world has undergone several changes, after a war full of corpses and bones, through changes like rivers of blood, and after unpredictable changes, the situation has finally stabilized. Liang Guodong also changed his identity and moved to the county seat to settle down. The old man of the past has truly become the old man.

Liang Guodong has been thinking about a question, if there was no idle chatter on the grinding plate of the farmhouse back then, and there was no talk about the story of Wing King Shi Dakai, just in the quiet past, he still followed the old man, what would he become like today? Unfortunately, there are no assumptions and ifs in life, what happens is what happens. An inconspicuous little thing changed the fate of his life.

What happened back then weighed on my heart like a stone. Liang Guodong is looking for an opportunity, and he will spend his life solving this mystery.

Liang Guodong entered the factory as a worker and lived an ordinary life. As the years passed, the opportunity he had been waiting for had come. By the mid-sixties, the calendar had been opened, and the movement that swept the country began. All the rules of society are broken, and everyone can stand on their own and claim their own king. Leung was actively involved in the movement, and he joined an organization called "Red Red Red". The organization played the banner of breaking feudal superstition and smashed and looted everywhere.

They also have a bitter history as an organization. Of the two leaders, one died in the ancient tomb because of an accident, and he was posthumously crowned a martyr, which was quite tragic.

Liang Guodong reported that there might be an ancient tomb in the back mountain to Ma Weiguo, who was the head at that time. Ma Weiguo was extremely excited, and led everyone to climb the mountain stream after a lot of hardships and found the location of the cave.

Speaking of this, Liang Shuwu stopped talking. I was listening and asking what was going on? Liang said quietly: "They opened the cave and entered the cave. ”

"And then?" I didn't blink.

"Except for my grandfather, all dead." Liang breathed a long sigh of relief.

I shuddered when I heard it: "What are you talking about?" What happened? ”

"Don't ask, I don't know what to say." Liang closed his eyes.

The atmosphere was a little oppressive, and I broke the silence with a cough and asked, "And then?" ”

Then, a few years later, my grandfather was gone. He left the secret to me. Liang Zhiwu stood up and patted me: "Let's go and talk about it." ”

We got out of the reference room, and Liang pulled me down the hallway. He was addicted to cigarettes and handed me a cigarette, and we smoked and talked.

Liang Weiwu didn't take this matter seriously, but after burying his grandfather, an uninvited guest came to his house. This person is Director Ma of the county party committee, and Director Ma got straight to the point, saying that his father used to be the head of the "Honghonghong" organization, Ma Weiguo, and he wanted to investigate the cause of his father's death and learned some things about the cave. He found Liang and wanted to cooperate, and then went to explore the secrets of the cave.

The two hooked up and hit it off.

Director Ma took advantage of his authority to build an iron chain bridge over the mountain stream to facilitate access. Because the cave was already excavated by the "Red Red Red" as early as the sixties, there was no need to reconstruct it. Director Ma was in a hurry, and one day he carried Liang Zhiwu on his back and led a few people to explore the cave first. These people are all his relatives and close friends, and they will definitely keep secrets.

Going deep into the cave is an extremely physically demanding task, and the entrance to the cave below is very narrow due to the fact that it has been damaged several times in succession. In this case, they assigned a clever and emaciated half-grown child in the team to go down to the cave. This child is only 16 years old, and he is Director Ma's distant cousin, surnamed Tong, the third in the family, known as Tong San. Tong San dropped out of school at an early age, and there was no parental discipline, so he was petty thieves in the county, relying on Director Ma, he actually pulled up a team, and there were many small minions under him.

Now that Director Ma has found him and asked him to do his best, Tong San naturally knows the stakes involved. He had to bite the bullet and go down to the hole. As for what he encountered and what happened after he came out, Liang Wuyi didn't know.

Later, things became more and more weird, and Director Ma became unapproachable and very cold. And Tong San simply raised a little ghost, and this time he actually passed the spiritualism ceremony, was reborn again, and became a monster.

This series of changes is all because of the cave. What's in there? What secrets are hidden?

"You won't ask Director Ma in person what's going on." I say.

Liang Weiwu threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it: "I asked, but he didn't say." He also said that this matter has nothing to do with me, let me out. Otherwise, in the spring water, it will be difficult for me to move an inch. ”

"And what are you going to do next?" I asked.

Liang Shuwu took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, scribbling several names, and on the top were the names of Director Ma and Tong San. He said: "This is the list of people who were present when I went to the cave that day, and it took me a lot of effort to find out. To figure out what's going on, you have to start with them. ”

He took out his pen and crossed out Tong San. Then he pointed to the next name and did not speak.

I said, "Don't bother, right? Let's go down to the cave and see what's going on, and we'll find out. ”

Liang shook his head: "I can't go down." Director Ma has taken the mountain as land requisitioned by the state, and has joined forces with the Forestry Bureau and the police station to take care of the mountain and forest. The caves have all been banned, and a small monitoring building has been set up next to it, a courtyard wall has been erected, and a big wolf dog has been tethered, and the power grid is almost pulled. If you want to talk about hard, I still have a three-point chance of winning, but now is not the time, I can't be surprised. You also saw what Tong San was like, these people who were present at the time were probably changed for some reason. It can be very dangerous if left unchecked. Alas, the demons are dancing. ”

"Then let's investigate this ......" I looked at the name: "Wang Xiaoyu, it's still a girl." ”

"She is Director Ma's secretary."
