Something crawled on the neck of the yak, and after the yak was awakened, his first reaction was to grab it with his hands.

"What's that?" The boy screamed softly unconsciously.

A cool, soft thing grasped in his hand, and the yak realized that it was a living thing, and he sat up sharply.

At this time, the living creature had wrapped itself tightly around the neck of the yak, and after a few circles, the creature could not breathe and could not speak.

At the same time, I could hear how many rats were squeaking and escaping in the hut.

Old man Gao and Li Gang were awakened by the alarm of the yaks.

The room was too dark to see anything, and I felt the yak sit up.

"What's going on?" Old man Gao asked.

He made a hoarse "ah, ah" sound, and his hands were tearing at the living creature around his neck, and he realized that it was a snake wrapped around his neck.

Old man Gao and Li Gang knew that the yak had encountered a problem, Li Gang turned out the match he brought, struck it to illuminate it, and sure enough, a snake wrapped around the neck of the yak.

"Stinky boy, you fall down first and don't move, beware of snakes biting you." Old man Gao said, "Go and ask Lao Yang to light the lamp." ”

Li Gang struck another match, got up and shouted to the inner room: "Uncle Yang, there is a snake, please light the oil lamp." ”

Lao Yang and his family heard movement in the outhouse and climbed up from the kang.

The snake let go of its grip on the snake and fell on the grass, and the snake slowly unwound around the snake's neck, intending to run away.

Li Gang's matches were struck one after another, and the old man Gao saw it clearly, and made a decisive move, grabbing the deadly seven inches of the snake, and the snake quickly wrapped around the old man's arm again.

Lao Yang lit the oil lamp, and when he went to the outhouse, he saw that a cauliflower snake had been caught by Old Man Gao.

He felt a dull pain in his wrist, and he noticed that his wrist had been bitten by a snake.

The snake was subdued by the tall old man, the thickness of a baby's arm, more than two meters long when lifted, and the belly may have just swallowed a mouse, and it was still bulging.

Sure that this was a cauliflower snake, the snake knew that the snake was not poisonous, in order to be on the safe side, he asked Li Gang to help him, use a sharp knife to cut a small cross at the snake's bite, squeeze out the blood, and then wipe it with kerosene in the oil lamp, tear a rag and bandage the wound.

Li Gang found that his left leg was also aching at this time, and looked at the oil lamp, it turned out that he was bitten by a dog, and he didn't feel anything at the time, but it didn't matter at this time, there were only deep tooth marks, no trauma.

At the end of the battle with the snake, the snake was thrown into the tank by Lao Yang.

Lao Yang said that this season cauliflower snake is not yet hibernating, often into the house to catch mice, he has caught more than 20, this snake is big, tomorrow morning it peeled and stewed meat.

The three of them continued to sleep in their clothes, and the man fell asleep, but the rat did not stop.

When they got up in the morning, both Yakzi and Li Gang shook out a few little mice from their bodies, but Old Man Gao was alone, and he was not favored by mice and snakes this night.

Old man Gao said that his sheepskin coat had been rubbed with dry tobacco, and all insects did not invade, and the yakzi and Li Gang had grown in knowledge again.

Lao Yang's wife got up early to cook, stewed snake meat, and the three of them ate it, said goodbye to Lao Yang, and continued to hurry.

Outside, the northwest wind was blowing, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was impossible to tell where the road was.

Old man Gao led Yakzi and Li Gang over a mountain, and then went further, except for the hills and swamps.

Passing by several villages, some villagers saw that the old man Gao and the yak were carrying shotguns, and they were very curious, and did not hesitate to help lead the way to the ditch pond to find prey.

On this day, there were really a lot of prey encountered, and the yak finally seized the opportunity and hit a female pheasant and a wild pigeon, and the old man Gao hit two pheasants and three sand and a half chickens. The trio left a pair of pheasants, and the rest of the prey was given to the villagers who were eager to lead the way.

In the evening, the three of them came all the way to the Siping Land Boundary, and heard that there was Tazi Mountain in front of them, and the old man Gao decided to live there at night.

Obviously, there was a big car shop on the side of the road, but the old man Gao didn't want to live, so he resolutely led Yakzi and Li Gang into the mountain.

Walking to the foot of Tazi Mountain, I met a woodcutter who was carrying firewood home on his back.

Old man Gao stepped forward and asked, "Fellow countryman, may I ask if this is the Tazi Mountain where the Siping Battle was fought back then?" ”

"Yes, what are you ......" The woodcutter was puzzled when he saw the appearance of the three of them.

"We're hunting, and we're passing by here and want to go up and have a look." Old man Gao said.

"In this mountain, there is nothing but trenches and bomb shelters, what kind of prey is there?" The woodcutter was even more confused.

"Fellow, do you mean that trenches and bomb shelters can still be found in the mountains?" Old man Gao was very interested.

"Of course you can find it, the battle here was quite tragic back then." After the woodcutter finished speaking, he carried the firewood on his back and left, and kept muttering: Hunter, what kind of trench bomb shelter are you looking for here?

Old man Gao was very excited, and while leading Yakzi and Li Gang up the mountain, he introduced to them the four battles that liberated Siping that year, especially the battle of Tazishan.

The more Old Man Gao spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he and Li Gang listened, the more fascinated they became, especially the revisiting of the old place, as if they were immersive, as if they had become a part of the battle back then.

The three of them found the remnants of the trench in the mountains, although the trench was overgrown with weeds and unrecognizable, the old man Gao still ignored it and jumped into the trench, and Yakzi and Li Gang also followed.

The old man Gao lay in the trench, couldn't suppress his excitement, used a shotgun as a rifle, a stone as a grenade, and threw a few stones, and then he rushed out of the trench, shouting: "Kill, for the liberation of the whole of China......" Then, he really raised his gun and rang the trigger.

Two dull gunshots in a row shook the mountain forest, and the birds in the mountain forest were frightened and flew around.

"Stinky boy, why don't you shoot, greedy for life and afraid of death?" The old man Gao was still unsatisfied and looked at the yak.

"Grandpa, that's not true." Yakzi said.

Old man Gao came back to his senses, sighed, and led Yakzi and Li Gang to continue walking around the mountains, constantly analyzing where the favorable terrain was for combat.

According to the old man Gao, the air-raid shelter should be at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them walked over to look for it, and sure enough, they found a hole.

The entrance to the cave is overgrown with weeds and trees, and there are piles of rocks, and it is dark inside.

"Let's go, go into the cave, and stay here tonight." Old man Gao commanded.

The cold wind was blowing, and although Yakzi and Li Gang were reluctant, it was better to live in an air-raid shelter than to camp in the open air.

As soon as Yakzi and Li started to clean the entrance of the cave, the old man Gao was the first to enter the cave with a gun, and by the light of the hole, he found a fox running out of him.

"Hit the fox." Old man Gao shouted to the entrance of the cave.

The shotgun was not in the hand of the carpenter, the yak was cleaning up the debris at the entrance of the cave, the old man shouted, he looked towards the entrance of the cave, and saw a gray fox rushing out of the hole, and then went to get the gun, the fox had run away without a trace.

I didn't hit the fox, it's not a pity, the meat of this thing can't be eaten, only the skin is worth a few dollars.

He and Li Gang used a machete as a sickle to get a pile of dry firewood and weeds and carried them into the hole.

This bomb shelter is not very deep, but it has holes in it and can accommodate many people.

It was not early, and the three of them had not eaten food in the evening.

Not far from the outside of the cave is the only spacious place, where Yakzi and Li Gang are ready to make a fire.

"You can't make a fire, and if you smoke from the hole, you'll be exposed to the enemy." Old man Gao was still immersed in the reverie of war.

"Grandpa Gao, are you still serious?" Li Gang asked.

"I just want to get back to how I felt back then." Old man Gao said, "This air-raid shelter is in good condition, much better than the cave I camped in the past. ”

"Grandpa, it's not the same time now, there are no enemies, let's make a fire and get something to eat, right?" He pleaded with Old Man Gao.

"Let's get it, let's get it, just repel the enemy's charge, rest and recuperate, and be ready to continue fighting."

Old man Gao no longer objected, and Li Gang and the yak piled up dry branches in the hole, plucked the pheasants, disemboweled, strung them with hardwood poles, and put them on the fire.

After a smoky fire, the two pheasants were finally roasted until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the three of them ate around the fire.

While the three of them were eating, Old Man Gao talked about the battle scenes he experienced when he was in the Anti-Japanese Federation.

While he was eating and talking, he heard the crisp sound of gunfire and shouting from outside the entrance of the cave.

Chapter 204 Press the gourd floating scoop

Old Man Gao's shotgun had been reloaded with gunpowder, and his shotgun had been pressed with bullets.

After a gunshot, someone shouted at the entrance of the bomb shelter: "Listen inside, we are the militia here, we want to censor you, please lay down your arms, come out and speak, don't try to resist, you have been surrounded." ”

"Oh no, we're here." Li Gang was a little panicked.

"What's the panic, we're not bad guys." Old man Gao said, "You two don't move inside, open the hole, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Grandpa, I'd better go out." The yak took the initiative to ask for help.

"Stinky boy, be careful, these people are here with guns, bullets don't have eyes, be careful of guns misfired." The old man Gao instructed the yakzi.

He didn't take a shotgun, he walked out of the bomb shelter alone, and as soon as he showed his head, he heard shouting outside: "Raise your hands." ”

He raised his hands and looked up to see that there were people holding torches around the entrance of the cave, and it was estimated that more than a dozen militiamen were holding semi-automatic rifles, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the entrance of the cave and him from different angles.

Seeing that he was not armed, the two militiamen quickly came up and twisted his arms behind him.

"I'm not a bad person, what are you doing here?" Yakzi was in a hurry to explain.

"Say, are there two people in there? Don't you have guns? What about guns? "The militia does not tolerate explanations, and their attitude is blunt and arrogant.

At this time, the old man Gao walked out of the cave vigilantly with a shotgun in hand.

"Put the gun down! Hands up, or we'll shoot. "There are militiamen shouting.

"Do you arrest people like that? Seven or eight guns were pointed at the hole, without even some cover, and if I had fired, you would have died. Old man Gao disagreed.

"Don't go forward, put the gun down! Hands up! Some militiamen shouted nervously.

"Put down your ball, I'm not a bandit or a spy, why are you murdering me?" Old man Gao scolded.

"Phew!" A militiaman fired a shot into the sky and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, put the gun down and raise your hands!" ”

Old man Gao was helpless and carried the gun. Someone stepped forward, got off the old man's gun, and twisted his hands behind his back, just like the yak.
