Immortal Sand Sea Chapter 15: The Secret of the Mountains
"Uncle Pan, have you seen these people? It doesn't look like I'm here to investigate. ”
In order to avoid being spotted by the searchlight, I crawled through the grass a little ahead and found that the group had no communication with each other, like a well-trained army with a clear division of labor, and was doing a quick evacuation after the blasting was completed.
"Definitely not, I've seen the people from the archaeological team." Pan Shun half-squatted and ran to me to look at it twice.
He continued to say that a few years ago, it also rained heavily, and the apse of the Niangniang Temple in Jixi Village was washed out of a big tomb, which alarmed the province, and a large number of archaeological team members wore green military uniforms and sat on the liberation to come, they used shovels and German-style shovels to dig slowly and then took goose feather brushes to sweep the ashes, not such a rough destruction.
So who are these people? Why did you come to this mountain for no reason to do blasting, and so coincidentally chose the location of the mine?
I felt that there must be something hidden in it, at least it was inextricably linked to the underground tomb.
At this time, a construction worker looked around, Pan Shun and I quickly lay down on the ground, the yellow light swept overhead, startling away a group of white storks parked at the tip, followed by a neat pace gradually drifted away, until the sound of a car engine started at the bottom of the mountain.
"Go back quickly, if you don't take medicine again, you will really die on the mountain!" Lao Li Tou called from behind, and he couldn't wait.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the series of explosions just now must have alarmed the people in the nearby villages, if the people of this village are better to say, in case they are seen by other villages, the three of us will not be able to tell clearly with six mouths.
It was still me and Pan Shun who put Lao Li in the middle, and prepared to rush down the mountain according to the road we came, but this coincidentally, when we were about to reach the foot of the mountain, we met a few young comrades in green clothes and red armbands on their arms.
"Who? What are you doing on this mountain! One of them stepped forward and asked sternly.
"Comrade, we are rushing to the mountain, he fell carelessly, and is about to take him to the doctor." Pan Shun opened his mouth and pointed at Lao Li's head and explained.
"Rushing to the mountains? Rushing to the mountains to make such a big movement? I think you're going to blow up the mountain! ”
The group apparently heard the movement and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, mistakenly believing that the explosives had been detonated by us.
"It's really a misunderstanding, the group of people who fired the cannon just came down the mountain, if you don't believe it, you can catch up with it now, my big brother is seriously injured, can you let him take a look first?" Pan Shun pointed in the direction the car drove away and replied.
"Fart! I didn't see that passerby, but I saw you, what do you have to say back to the team! "The man still wouldn't let us go.
"You're on the team? I joined the second production team of Dafeng Commune in Hongxing Village, which team are you, comrade? "I took the stubble.
"Don't mess around, we are the 2nd Road Detachment of the Workers' Propaganda Team, and now we suspect that you are deliberately undermining national stability and endangering the unity of the masses, and we must take them to the conference."
A few people behind him stepped forward and didn't say a word to take us away, I pulled the fight to resist, if they really took away any basin would have to be buckled to the head, it was better to fight.
Seeing that we were going to change from a quarrel to a full martial arts, the village chief led some people to rush to him, he was an old fritter, and when he saw that this situation was wrong, he immediately scattered a few cigarettes and communicated with the group of people.
At first, the leader did not give up until he reached his goal, and he didn't know what the village chief said when he took him aside, but this man relented and said that we only need to make a verbal guarantee.
The hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, and it is not a shame to admit a mistake, we shouted three times according to the original words he explained, and then opened his eyes and closed his eyes, on the way back, Lao Li Tou whispered to me that the compass was still hidden on my body, I had a cold sweat on my forehead, if they were really taken away and turned out of these things, it was really enough for us to drink two pots......
After coming out of Goose Mountain to find a doctor to see Lao Li's injury, I returned to Hongxing Village to report, I didn't go to see it for a while, but now there is really no excuse to ask for leave, the captain didn't like to see me very much, I was afraid that he would take the opportunity to "repatriate" me.
Later, Pan Shun also came to Hongxing Village to tell me some information, first of all, Lao Li Tou's injury has been almost healed, but he has left a lot of scars that are not very elegant, and the county has come to investigate since Goose Mountain was bombed, but in the end, it was over, and the disappearance of Lao Yang Tou and his son's madness have not followed, and it should have been suppressed.
After another month, I finally succeeded in taking down the captain under the alternating farts of me and Qiangzi, and became his "right-hand man", assigning us some light work on weekdays, and we often exchanged food stamps for some meat, eggs and wine for him to make tooth sacrifices, which made me have time to shuttle between Jilian Village and Jixi Village, and would go over to get together with old friends every other day.
Winter was very early this year, and the autumn wind was blowing a few days ago, and after one night, the whole mountain suddenly cooled and it began to rain in freezing, and there was no transition.
Fang Qing said that the cold in the mountainous areas of southern Anhui is different from their northern, the northeast is dry and cold and blows to hurt their cheeks, while our side is wet and cold and blows to the bones.
Although they all changed into military coats early, they still couldn't resist this kind of cold very well, and even me, a three-good young man who doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, made an exception to drink to ward off the cold.
Winter came suddenly, and the nationwide civil air defense construction also came suddenly, and basically all the troops were engaged in air-raid shelters and other emergency strategic bases, and it was only under these circumstances that I learned that there was actually a hidden unit in this mountain col -- the Fourth Artillery Corps of the Nanjing Military Region.
Due to the lack of personnel of the Fourth Artillery Corps, they could not catch up with the progress to complete the task even if they did not sleep, so they temporarily decided to transfer manpower from our production brigade to support the construction, and 30 people, including Qiangzi, Brother Wei Guo, and Glasses, were in the ranks.
Because the mission was classified as a first-class secret, we also signed a series of secrecy regulations, and finally drove to the mouth of Mukeng Gorge in Wuxi Mountain under the transportation of PLA trucks......
Wuxi Mountain, formerly known as Wuxi Mountain, is located at the southern foot of the Huangshan Mountain Range, at the junction of Yixian County and Huangshan Mountain, with the highest peak of Sanfujian at an altitude of 1,227 meters, and our task is to assist the Fourth Artillery Corps' Pioneer Company to build an underground strategic base at the mouth of the "V" shaped Mukeng Gorge in Wuxi Mountain.
When we arrived at Wuxi Mountain, we found that this large area of low-lying valley was called Mukengxiakou, and the construction of the underground base had not yet been carried out.
The instructor didn't let us start building right away, but received a month of intensive training from the engineers and technicians in the army.
During this month, we not only learned the skills of digging trenches, but also learned a little bit of professional knowledge in civil engineering construction.
The construction was completely confidential, and we naturally did not dare to wander around until a month later, when the instructor began to arrange for personnel to start looking for a secret construction site.
Since it is not easy for us educated youths to attract attention, we selected 10 people, plus a surveyor, a geological prospector, and two soldiers of the pioneer company, a total of 14 people, to form an expedition team to explore first.
After careful planning, our investigation team determined the route and decided to first pass through Tianziyin and Sandi Waterfall from north to south until they arrived at Huanglongtan, the southernmost point of Mukeng Gorge, to find a suitable hidden construction site.
The winter in southern Anhui is cold, and it rains from time to time in the sky, although they are frozen enough, but the thought of contributing to the motherland is still enthusiastic.
We braved the rain in the mountains for two days, and finally shuttled all the way from Tianziyin and Sandi Waterfall to the destination Huanglongtan.
Facing the towering mountains all around, I was amazed by the wonders of nature as the narrow waterhole in front of me was like a silver dragon hidden in the mountains.
It is said that from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the people of the three prefectures and nine counties under the leadership of the patriarch went to the side of the pond to worship the dragon and ask for rain, and the nine out of ten should be extremely effective, the water in the pond flows in from the mountain waterfall, and I don't know how much water is stored for many years, it can be seen that its depth is quite terrifying.
By this time, it was almost evening, and the raindrops that had been sparse in our tents had condensed into scattered snowflakes, and the temperature in the mountains had dropped a lot.
We educated youths have been in the mountains for a while and have adapted to the climate, but the two accompanying technicians can't stand it.
They were all high-level intellectuals, who had not engaged in manual labor, and had no experience in sleeping in the wilderness, and this two-day high-intensity work had already turned them into frosted eggplants, lying listlessly in the tent and curling up in a ball to blow their noses.
I always have the impression that the people in the army are one and the same, but these two are an exception, and it didn't take long for me to get along with them.
One of them is Li Gang from Shenyang, don't look at the appearance of thin and swarthy, but under that thin body, he can often burst out with different strength and speed, and he walks vigorously and powerfully, because all the training indicators in the army are among the best, he is called "small steel cannon" by his comrades-in-arms.
Another tall and thin, talkative and handsome man is called Lin Ye from Hunan, and he is called "secretary" by the big guy because of the good folding of the quilt.
After lighting the fire and cooking, most of the people went back to the tent early to rest and hide from the cold, while I, Brother Weiguo, Xiao Gangcang, and the secretary of the secretary, sat around the campfire and chatted.
We were very happy to exchange the customs and customs of our respective hometowns, and the secretary said to me: "Jianhua, tell us an interesting story." ”
Xiao Gang Cannon also chimed in: "You kid chat humorously, tell us more jokes, and tease the boring man." ”
My eyes rolled around, and I said that the story of Coke has been reported to you, and it is too late to make it up, and I don't have that talent, since I am in the mountains, why don't I tell a ghost story in the mountains?
Zhao Weiguo was sitting upright, saying that this big night should not talk about this topic, it was a little crazy.
But the two bloody soldiers were interested, and called me again and again to scare the other comrades-in-arms when I went back.
I heard this story from my glasses, and before I could tell it, cold hairs stood on my body.
