"Thin monkey, the hole has been dug for you, can you come down and try it appropriate?"

After falling into the air with a rope and working hard for several hours, and finally digging a small hole, everyone hurriedly called the thin monkey down to try it.

"Thank you, second brother, I'll come down right away. ”

Fortunately, Xiao Peng's expert considered the multi-stage setting of the little devil*, and it was best to pull it from a distance with a rope, so everyone brought a lot of rope, otherwise, it would be a while and a half, it would be really difficult to find so many ropes of such a long time, and fall yourself in mid-air to dig holes. Of course, because the weathered rock is relatively soft, everyone can dig it in a few hours, otherwise, just relying on shovels and other things, you don't even want to dig into it, let alone dig a small hole that can hide people.

This small hole is artificially dug in the cliff about ten meters from the bottom and about five meters from the top. The entrance of the cave is irregular oval, and the opening is about forty centimeters.

The thin monkey quickly went down to the small hole, looked at the hole by the light of the torch inserted in the hole, and smiled bitterly at a tall man beside him: "Second brother, are you digging a rat hole?"

"What expert Xiao Peng said, the entrance to the cave should be as small as possible, so that the chance of being discovered by the little devil will be smaller. Otherwise, dig a hole for you that is a few people big, and you will be blind as a little devil?"

The other was holding a cigarette, wiping his sweat while sucking, and when he heard this, he said to the thin monkey: "Fifth brother, don't be picky, it's already very good to be able to dig such a big hole, if you want to be picky again, I'm afraid it's too late......" said, looked up at the sky, and added: "It's almost dawn." ”

The skinny monkey couldn't do it, so he had to try.

The head went in first, and after crawling inside a few times, he shouted, "It's too dark inside, pull me out, pull me out." ”

The two of them hurriedly pulled the thin monkey out.

"Whoever told you to go in the head should be the foot in the first place. ”

Another asked, "Is it tight inside?"

"It's okay. ”

At this time, Xiao Peng, who had been commanding from above, shouted at them: "Okay?"

"Alright. ”

"Okay, I'll put the rope down, and you can try again. In particular, it is important to pay attention to whether the thunder ring can be pulled off...... Also, don't forget the planks and stakes. ”

When he received the long thin rope, under the light of the torch, the second brother noticed at a glance that the color of the rope was wrong, and immediately muttered: "Why did you make the color of the rope earthy red? Isn't this an extra move?"

The thin monkey glanced at him and explained, "If the color of this rope is not the same color as the surrounding rocks and soil, others will easily find it......"

"You know a lot. ”

"Second brother, this is not what I said, this is what Expert Xiao Peng said. ”

"Alright, don't be verbose, go in and try it. As he spoke, he put a wooden plank about two centimeters thick into the hole, and then handed two wooden stakes twenty or thirty centimeters high to the thin monkey.

The thin monkey went in and put the two wooden stakes that had been prepared in the innermost place, and then stepped back and put another plank of the same thickness into it, and put it on the two wooden stakes inside.

The second brother and the other put the other two wooden stakes in the hole and covered the boards on top of them, so that an improvised earthquake-proof space was formed...... In other words, there is no way to be so simple, because no one thought of doing this, so they can only use local materials and try to ensure the safety of the thin monkey, of course, no one is sure in their hearts. However, fortunately, there are many people, otherwise, it would take more than half a day just to cut wood and make boards, but now, everyone can divide and cooperate.

After the thin monkey got in, he showed his head and hands, took the end of the string, and smiled at the second brother: "Second brother, little four, if I sacrifice, you two have to help with family affairs......"

"Come on, come on, what kind of, that's what you can sacrifice?"

"Yes, fifth brother, don't say discouraged words, it's unlucky. ”

"By the way, when this battle is over, I will invite you to drink wine and eat meat. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, it's enough!" the second brother said as he used the rope to climb to the * seven or eight meters away to the left, and the comrades over there had already done it * and *, just waiting to try.

"Fifth brother, what the second brother means is that you have to survive, otherwise, you can only be placed on your grave......"

"Get out! Lao Tzu lives well, I don't need you to curse Lao Tzu. ”

"Skinny Monkey, who the fuck are you scolding?"

"Gotcha, yes, yes, I'm wrong, okay?"

The two were arguing here, but the second brother had already connected it, and shouted to them: "It's connected, thin monkey, you pull it and try it." ”

Of course, it can't really be connected to the thunder ring, just buckle it on the finger of a comrade over there, and you can judge it by trying the strength.

The thin monkey was afraid that his strength would not be enough, so he pulled hard, and there was immediately an angry scolding voice from there: "Thin monkey, you want to pull me to death! Let you try, not let you die hard." If you want to go down, you have to wait for the little devil to come. ”

The thin monkey hurriedly stretched out his head to look, but saw a person dangling in the middle of the cliff and dangling over, obviously, the thin monkey had too much strength just now, and the other party was accidentally pulled over, and he didn't stand firm, so he could only be like now.

"Third uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally made my strength a little bigger. ”

The experiment was successful, and things were almost over, and everyone evacuated.

The juniors or peers took the thin monkey's hand and said some auspicious words, although this force made the thin monkey feel that everyone wanted to push him in a little more.

The elders touched the thin monkey's head and said all kinds of comforting words, although this posture made the thin monkey feel that the elders were treating him like a puppy...... However, I was really touched in my heart.

The thin monkey is the smallest, and the seniority is also in the middle layer, and he may be bullied by veterans elsewhere, but in the Li family platoon, there are elders to take care of him, who dares? So he has always felt very happy, but now he is very moved, he wants to cry, but he is embarrassed to cry, until everyone is gone, the thin monkey wipes his tears.

However, the last third uncle to leave, his words still made the thin monkey full of hope for the future, especially the desire to survive, which soared directly.

"Skinny monkey, I know you've been thinking about the girl from the next village...... Don't shake your head, I'm watching. Last time, the girl from the next village came to our village, and your boy's eyes were as green as a wolf when she looked at her. Just like a dog around her, if it weren't for the fact that your kid didn't have a dog's tail, otherwise your kid would definitely wag his dog's tail like a wheel......"

"Heh!he!" The thin monkey has seven brothers and sisters, not much land, little production, and can't do business, so he is naturally poor. Even if the villagers usually help him, he is really poor and can't do it. In this case, how many people are willing to marry their precious daughter to him?

To tell the truth, the reason why the thin monkey participated in the independent regiment was because of various reasons such as fighting devils, there were two important points: being a soldier and eating food can reduce the burden on the family. Second, if he becomes an officer in the Eighth Route Army, not to mention anything else, with this honor, he feels that he is qualified to go to see the lover of his dreams openly - my family is poor, but I am an officer of the Eighth Route Army, who dares to underestimate this face? Who is not envious?

Therefore, he is not afraid of death, and especially likes to be a member of the death squad, because he has heard other veterans say that ordinary soldiers want to be an officer, and the death squad is the most direct way to pursue...... The key is that the girl has also reached the age of marriage, such a beautiful girl, if you think about it with your ass, you can think of how many people come to the door to beg, and it definitely reaches the point where the matchmaker breaks through the threshold. You really have to hurry up, otherwise, after a long time, even if you become an officer, but that girl has been preempted by others and married, then she will only cry to death.

So, as soon as he heard about it, he was more positive than anyone else.

"Don't worry!" The third uncle touched the thin monkey's head and never let go, making the thin monkey's hair like a chicken nest, not to mention that the thin monkey can't free his hands now, even if he has free his hands, he has to obediently be a puppy and let the other party touch his head, because the other party has good intentions - according to customs, everyone thinks that if the hair is messed up and looks ugly, Lord Yama will not accept his life if he can't look at it.

"I discussed with your elders just now, as long as you don't die in this battle, our family will pool money to build a big house with three stands and nine pillars on the mountainside at the east entrance of the village, and help you invite a matchmaker to the other party's house to propose marriage......

"Great, thank you Third Uncle, thank you Third Uncle......" How did the thin monkey not understand, this was the other party's hope that he would live, and the promise given to him, he was naturally grateful: "Third Uncle, don't worry, I will never die, I will definitely live well." ”

"Hmm!"

The third uncle grabbed the rope with both hands and was about to climb up hard, but he thought of something.

"Also, thin monkey, you put your heart in your stomach and work hard......" After saying a lot of words, the third uncle still said the purpose: "Don't worry, several of our elders have discussed it, in case you have any accidents...... I'm talking about what if...... This is not good, but the third uncle has good intentions, don't hate the third uncle when you say it!"

"How can it, third uncle, I know you mean well, you continue. ”

"In case something happens to you, don't worry, a few of our elders have discussed, and each family will give your father and mother a share of the money every year, although it is not much, but it is also a heart, and it can be regarded as honoring your father and mother on your behalf...... But the ugly words are ahead, you have to work hard, if you embarrass our Lijia Village, not to mention the house, it is this filial piety money, then there is no more. You know what I mean, don't you?"

As soon as he heard this, there were tears in the thin monkey's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you Third Uncle and all the elders, I will definitely not embarrass everyone......"

Saying that, the thin monkey gritted his teeth and said firmly: "The big deal is death, don't worry, I ...... Ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the third uncle's slap on the head.

"What bastard are you talking about, you have to live, live well...... Even if it's not for yourself, you have to live well for your father, your mother, and your daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door, you know?"

"Well, I'm going to live well. ”

"That's right. Okay, everything that should be packed is packed, everything that needs to be said has been said, and then it's up to you, I'm going up...... Remember, no matter what, we must not disgrace our Lijia Village. ”

"Hmm!"

When the third uncle left, the thin monkey was not only not afraid at all, but felt a strong flow in his chest, and his mind was full of a better life in the future......

When the sky was bright, the little devil finally came......
