Chapter 14 Snakes and insects in the bomb shelter

"Do you believe in past and present lives?" Ziwei looked at the opposite riverbank, "The debt in the past life will be repaid in this life, do you believe it?" ”

I smiled, "I just know that it's hard enough to live well in the present, and the cause and effect of this life are not finished, so how can I have time to think about the past life." If you really owe such a difficult debt in your previous life, when it is time to pay it back, you can't hide, if not, you are worried, and it is superfluous to think more, it is better to relax and make yourself happy, not to evade repayment, and not to waste your well-being. ”

Before Ziwei turned around, I asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”

The gloom in his eyes was hard to hide, staring straight at me, making me a little uncomfortable.

When he was about to avoid it, he leaned over and picked up a stone like me, paused for a moment, resumed his old tone, and said lightly: "Like you, I am also an orphan, no matter what they say, I have not seen my mother since I can remember, and I have never seen her since she was crazy or stupid. Since I was a child, I have been helped by others, even if I can use my young age and lack of self-reliance as a reason to comfort myself, in the end, I can't avoid the word begging, and I can survive, I don't expect someone to help me for a long time. So when you reach out to me, I'm grateful, I'm afraid, I'm not afraid of nothing, but I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid of going back in time, I'm afraid of not being able to start all over again. I tried all my willfulness to keep you and keep a peaceful life, but I forgot that I have no right to influence your choices. After Dongyan Town, I was thinking, is it right for me to leave with you, Shen Ji has never been the case with the inheritance of teachers and students in the past hundred years, we ...... From the very beginning, they were destined to be separated. ”

When he said this, he was a little sour, "Maybe I really didn't cultivate enough blessings in my previous life." ”

"Ziwei, we won't ......" Before I could say anything, there was a sudden splash in the water, and I saw a shadow jumping up from the water.

Ziwei reacted quickly, grabbed me behind me, and the stone in his hand bounced out in the direction of the shadow.

The shadow was struck, because the momentum was about to fall back into the water, a large net reached out in front of it and fished it inside, and on closer inspection, it was a small fish.

"Hehe, this net is really easy to use." Tang Jiao turned around, put the long rod on the ground, ran over and picked up the fish in the net with both hands.

The fish was knocked unconscious, wagging its tail weakly, its mouth opening and closing weakly.

The river was silent for a few seconds, and a group of small fish as big as a head swam out and circled around the river.

Wang Min said with a smile: "We sometimes have some fish swimming in against the current, and I often catch a few with this net to add a meal to myself." We had just eaten once when that kid came yesterday, and you came here today, and you have fish to eat for two days in a row. Recently, the fish below has been flowing backwards more and more frequently, and I used to have to wait for months before I could eat it, and there was no meat here, so I counted on it. ”

"Can you eat it?" Tang Jiao's eyes lit up, and he ran over with a fish fart in his arms.

I forgot all about the words interrupted by this little episode, but became interested in how there were fish here, and after taking a look at Ziwei, I simply took his hand and led him back to the crowd.

Tang Jiao looked at the two of us and snorted twice, and was glared back by me and covered his mouth.

Wang Min fished up the other small fish, knocked them unconscious with the spine of a knife, disemboweled and washed them, put them in the pot of the hut, put all the ingredients in it, and covered the pot.

I watched the generator set outside, and when Wang Min came out, he asked him, "There are so many machines here, the fish won't die if they swim in?" ”

Wang Min said: "The blades of the machine here are small, and the speed of the unit is also low, which does not have much impact on them. ”

The fish in the pot was stewed with a gurgling sound, Wang Min looked at the end of the river, and the appearance of the old dragon bell was full of worry, "Life is getting more and more difficult." ”

I raised my eyes, "What did you say?" ”

Wang Min sat down and said to me, "Actually, Officer Guo doesn't need to find someone to help me take over, those children are young and can't stay in this place." ”

He pointed to the simplicity around him, "They are all good children, who wants to spend their lives in such a poor and miserable place." ”

"How could you want to put your life here?" I said, "There are always people like you, and they want to." ”

A smile bloomed on Wang Min's face, "You kid still has no experience in the world, and when you go out for another two years, you will understand everything." The world is big, young people should go out for a walk, Officer Guo always said that those children were disgusted with the bad treatment before leaving, he didn't understand, there are some places that they can't stay, even if people want to stay, there are things that don't let them stay. Those things, our human power is too small, no matter how much we toss, we can't control them. ”

My eyelids jumped, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Wang Min glanced around and said, "Did Officer Guo tell you what this place was doing in the early years?" ”

I shook my head honestly.

Wang Min said: "This is an air-raid shelter, when the Japanese devils were fought in the past, the People's Liberation Army took the villagers to hide here for a while, at that time this was not a river, it was a mine, the big guy led people to do a reinforced defense, as soon as the Japanese came, they all hid in it, and there were **, there were few * people outside. Those who stay here to hide, because there is no food to eat, people fight with each other, and when a battle is over, many people will die in the safest place here, all at the hands of their own peopleβ€”alas! ”

He raised his chin in the direction of Jiang Xun, "That friend of yours must have seen it, inside the cave, on both sides of the river, there are all slogans left at that time." ”

"There are so many souls here." Wang Min's expression was strange, his hands trembled, and he sighed again, "You better go back, leave early, stay away from here, don't come again." ”

"Wang Min! And what do you say to them? Guo Zheng hurried over a few steps, his face stretched.

Wang Min stopped talking, Guo Zheng wrote anger on his face, called me aside, stayed away from Wang Min, and said to me: "Don't listen to his nonsense, if it weren't for his mouth, I would have applied for the power renovation and renewal project above, and we would have to buy our own generators for him to consume like this?" ”

I asked, "Did he say the same thing to the people who came to investigate?" ”

Guo Zheng snorted coldly, "I think he is waiting for his feelings in this black rumbling hole, who knows what he thinks." ”

Guo Zheng wanted to smoke a cigarette, so he took a look at the machines around him, so he clicked his mouth, stuffed it back into his pocket and said to me: "I believe you in some supernatural things, but if he wants to say that there is something here, I won't believe it if he kills him." He's been here for more than 30 years, and you see that spirit, like something? Could it be that this ghost doesn't harm him, but harms others? ”

"The workers who came before are gone."

Guo Zheng sulked, and I said, "It's better to be careful, although I don't feel the yin qi here, but if what he said is true, we still can't take it lightly." ”

"Whatever you want." Guo Zheng said: "The old king has been here for 30 years, and we are all grateful to him, but if he continues like this, sooner or later he will become the enemy of all of us, and no one wants to see that kind of situation." ”

"If it's really a ghost, we'll do our best." I asked, "Can we stay here for a few days, and we can eat and live by ourselves." ”

Guo Zheng sneered, "You brought a bunch of tools with you when you came, what can you eat?" It's not a place where you can catch fish every day, and it's also a hydropower station. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"As long as you don't cause trouble, this little place can still accommodate it." Guo Zheng said.

I laughed, "Thank you." ”

Guo Zheng said: "If you can solve the problem, I should say thank you on behalf of everyone." ”

Although the sparrows in the hydropower station are small and all the organs are complete, there are all the daily necessities that should be there, Guo Zheng also said to stay, let Wang Min vacate a small room for us, there are only two beds in it, and there are not many quilts, so that the four of us can distribute them at will, fortunately, the weather is hot, although it is underground, there is no very cold feeling, these things are not so important to us.

The three of them gave me a quilt and a bed, and the other bed said that they would sleep together, and the three of them took turns keeping vigil at night just in case.

After we finished eating the fish, it was not early, except for Wang Min, everyone was not sleepy, Tang Jiao drank several bowls of soup, kept running to the toilet, I discussed it with Jiang Xun, and Ziwei sat on the raft together, and also went down the river to the change of lanes to see.

The road was not very quiet, I took a flashlight to shine on the left and right walls, and sure enough, as Wang Min described, the red slogans were moss-grown, and I couldn't tell what was originally written, but I could tell that they did exist.

I didn't see anything inhuman along the way except for the slogan, and before I said a word, I turned around, and there was a light not far away.

"The light didn't shine into the hole." Ziwei said, "It's the same as in the forest." ”

When the raft reached the entrance of the cave, the sunlight seemed to be cut off by the executioners hiding on the top of the cave with a knife, and the outside of the cave was bright, and there was no shadow in the cave, it was completely black.

Looks like it's really about enchantments.

Out of the cave suddenly opened, the sun was broken, but the banks of the stream were really desolate, and it seemed that there were no people.

When I went ashore to investigate, it was no different from what I imagined, and I couldn't see the fireworks when I stood on a high place.

The return journey is more strenuous than the beginning, and it takes several hours to make a round trip, so there is not enough time to go on.

While they were chatting, I found a few scrap parts, selected a few that could be used, and spread the tight planks a little more so that we could sit on the raft at the same time, and then went into the water to try it, except for the poor stability, as long as people don't move on it, it can be safe.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, Guo Zheng went to Wang Min's room to sleep after admonishing us, and he thought his bed was damp and smelled fishy.

Wang Min didn't speak, and silently went to the computer room to rest.

The first vigil was Ziwei, then Tang Jiao, and Jiang Xun kept watch for the second half of the night. On the first day, the three of them cooperated very well, and there was nothing to do all night, and Guo Zheng mocked Wang Min again, saying that he should not always be alarmist.

But on the second night, I was lying on my side in bed and was asleep, when I suddenly felt something touch me, and it was very cold.

I was dazed, my fingers moved slightly, and the cool thing slowly approached, pressed against my palm, and slipped into my sleeve.

The feeling of the flesh clinging to it became clearer and clearer, and each squirm moved against my skin, quickly climbing up my arm.

The feeling began to appear in other places, as if the ankles were entangled in something, and there was another weird sensation on the body that made the scalp tingle.

I woke up suddenly, and the moment I sat up, my arm was tightly wrapped around the thing, and my whole arm was congested and swollen.

I looked down and saw three bloated snakes coiled on the bed, and the quilt was crawling with bugs I'd never seen before!
