Chapter VII: Fighting
I know the temperament of my friends, except for three or four who are timid, everyone else is quite righteous. The next afternoon, except for four or five children who were left behind, the others came to my grandmother's house to look for me and went up the mountain together.
Tian Lei and Dajun brought two special hand-held signal lights for the railway from home, their father was on duty at the station, and this kind of signal light at home almost became the main lighting tool, this kind of signal light is similar to that used by Li Yuhe in "Red Lantern", with a handle on the top, a headlight head in front, and a long base at the bottom, which is a battery. This lamp is matched with five kinds of color tablets can illuminate five colors of red, blue, yellow, green and white, but since it is for household use, the other color tablets have been removed, leaving white, the range of light is quite wide, these two signal lights, worthy of five flashlights. Xiao Bing came out of the house with an air gun, which was his uncle's favorite air gun, and I don't know how Xiao Bing stole it. The pillar brought a dagger, the others were carrying sticks and slingshots, my family was strictly controlled, I didn't have any weapons to take advantage of, before going out, I ran to the chicken coop, and stole the rusty kitchen knife that my grandmother chopped the chickens to eat, I don't know what was under the flap, since we were going up the mountain, it was better to prepare some well.
On the way up the mountain, we passed a deserted grave without a monument, and Xiaobing and I ran over to pull grass for the grave as usual, picked flowers nearby and spread them on top of the grave, and then kowtowed three times before leaving. My friends are not surprised by this, since I was a child, this is the case every time Xiaobing and I go up the mountain. When I was a child, I went up the mountain with my grandfather to chop firewood, passing by this cemetery, I asked my grandfather who was buried here, and my grandfather casually said that it was Lei Feng who was buried here. Many years later, we no longer believe that this is Lei Feng, but all kinds of respects when we were children actually blessed me and Xiaobing to escape in the future in distress.
That afternoon, we went up the hill and climbed into the bunker, and in the open space in the middle of the bunker, there was a pile of ashes, and some potatoes on the ground, presumably someone was roasting something to eat here. Yesterday when we went down the mountain it was very late, it was dark and no one dared to go up the mountain, I twisted the ash, and the temperature, eight adults did not go far, we did not see anyone down the mountain when we went up the mountain, this group of people is estimated to be Liu Xu's group, maybe they will come back.
"X yours, how dare you come here?" When I turned around, it turned out that Liu Xu was holding a handful of dry branches in his arms, and he was bowing his head and bumping into us. Hearing Liu Xu scolding me, I also got angry: "X you, this bunker was built by your house, why can't we come." I had the courage to scold back. Liu Xu's eyes widened, and he rushed in one step, still holding a sickle in his hand.
The bunker was not big, the small soldiers were crowded behind me, Liu Xu didn't notice them, just rushed in front of me, I saw a black hole muzzle sticking out from behind me, straight in front of Liu Xu, Liu Xu was stupid, and the hand holding the sickle stopped in mid-air.
"I'm X, there's a kind of coming up! Come up!! Xiao Bing's eyes were red, and he stepped out with the gun in his hand, and the cold barrel was directly inserted into Liu Xu's mouth. I copied out the rusty kitchen knife from my back, pulled out the dagger from the pillar, and the others also raised their sticks, and Tian Lei and the army even aimed the signal light at their eyes with malicious intent, and under this strong light, they could be blinded temporarily. The few black boys behind Liu Xu just pulled out their homemade picks, scrapers, and steel bars, and they were immediately honest when they saw our formation.
Seeing that Liu Xu and they were silent, I came to the strength and slashed Liu Xu's shoulder with the back of a kitchen knife, this time I used a lot of strength, Liu Xu snorted, just wanted to attack, and glanced at the soldier again, but did not dare to move. I was smug: "We're here today, what's the matter?" Want to do it? Liu Xu's face turned red, and a few words jumped out of his teeth: "You wait for the start of school, there is a kind of time when you will also bring a gun, you wait." Liu Xu retreated from the bunker with the four Hanako brothers, and we followed closely behind, and the little soldier fired a shot at the bird's nest in the tree as if demonstrating, and a nest of sparrows flew away. Liu Xu and they left without looking back, we watched them go away, and then returned to the bunker.
"How dare you shoot just now?" I pulled the creep over and asked in a whisper.
"He's going to cut you with a scythe, and I'm going to shoot him." The little soldier said with red eyes and gasping. I patted the little soldier on the shoulder, the brother of this life, who had been handed over since the summer of his teenage years. So much so that more than ten years later, when I crossed the mountains and mountains again, exploring the cave and looking for treasure, the little soldier was born and died with me without hesitation.
The flap was quite hidden, we poked it with a stick a few times to find it, the pillar dragged two dead trees outside, we tied a rope, one end was tied to the muzzle of a nearby machine gun, and the other end went down, and several children were small and light, one by one, they climbed the rope, and carried the dead trees down.
As soon as my feet hit the ground, I felt that this place was soft like mud, the two signal lights of the army were turned on, and there was an unobstructed view below, this was clearly a tunnel, I couldn't see the head before and after, it was rancid and choked inside, and there was a mud under my feet, this place was most afraid of snakes, but there was no grass here, and it was estimated that snakes would not survive here. The soldier pointed to the side, and an iron door appeared in front of him.
The village was the Russian army station, there were many Russian-style buildings hundreds of years ago, my grandmother's house was the wartime command post of the Russian army, a typical Russian-style house, one of the most representative signs is the doors and windows are extremely high, but today I see this door is indescribably heavy, this door has two horizontal and vertical handles, there is a steering wheel in the middle, the pillar is knocked twice with a dagger, this door is all made of metal, we pulled together for a long time, this door does not move.
I said, what is this steering wheel for? Tian Lei said that when he watched TV, everyone had a turntable in their safes, which should be used to spell passwords, and those with passwords were vaults, and eighty percent of them were gold. We believed it, the small force was large, and after twisting for a long time, the steering wheel did not move at all, so I found a stick and stuck it in the roulette, and several people worked together to barely move a little.
We spun for a long time, and the roulette wheel became more and more flexible, but no matter how we turned, the door still couldn't be opened, "Oh no, it's bald," said the army panting while holding the stick. It's no wonder that this tunnel has been built for nearly a hundred years, and if it doesn't break it, it's a good thing, how can it still be used? But if the door can't be opened, we won't be able to enter. Everyone tinkered for a long time, and they were all deflated, this tunnel was damp and smelly, we were always afraid of any centipedes, poisonous snakes to drill out, at that time the age was also young, everyone quickly climbed up along the trunk of the tree, we paved the flap, try to make it no traces.
When I went down the mountain, it was already dark, fortunately there were signal lights, air guns, kitchen knives to strengthen my courage, we eight or nine and a half children sang all the way home safely, but when we got home, we were inevitably a good fight, the little soldier because of stealing the air gun, was beaten by the uncle and the buttocks were swollen, I was fine, before entering the house, I hid the kitchen knife in the brick crack outside the door, so I was just scolded.
