Anyway, back to Gangzi Mountain in Hecheng County during the anti-Japanese period, when our army broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army, it happened to be necessary to climb there, but unfortunately there was an encounter with the Japanese puppets on the mountain.

After the tragic battle, although the Japanese puppets were heroically annihilated, our army also suffered dozens of casualties, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a monument to the revolutionary martyrs was specially built on the mountain for these heroic martyrs.

On the Qingming Festival, a group of educated youths who cut the queue near Qinggangzi Mountain decided to go to the mountain on such a special day to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs.

As soon as they arrived at the memorial tower, the raindrops began to fall on them, and most of them decided to take advantage of the raindrops to turn back the way they came, but one couple wanted to go down the mountain from the back mountain to the other way.

After the two of them dispersed with the group, they walked towards the mountain, and when they reached the two forks in the mountain and the mountain, the female intellectuals walked into the way up the mountain by a ghost, and no matter how the remaining male intellectuals tried to dissuade them, they did not react as if they did not hear, and the male intellectuals were afraid that something would happen to her, so they had to follow closely behind.

The road up the mountain is a gentle slope, and it takes only ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain on weekdays, but this time I feel that the road is getting steeper and more urgent.

The rain did not stop and began to get heavier, the male intellectuals felt that something was wrong, but they didn't know what was wrong, she simply stopped the object and didn't let her go further, but the female intellectuals reached out and pointed forward, saying that they were going home from here.

At this time, the male intellectuals thought that he had made a mistake and looked around to identify it carefully, but he didn't care, and saw three figures crawling out of a pit, still wearing yellow old-fashioned military uniforms.

The male intellectuals stared at the three of them without daring to blink, and at this time they suddenly glared fiercely at this side, and walked towards the mountain at a very fast speed.

He should have seen these three people and wanted to catch up, although the man was already frightened and panicked, but he still relied on the only remaining reason to pull her and not let her continue.

The female intellectual, however, suddenly turned around and looked hideously distorted, and said like crazy that she was going home and going home with those people.

As soon as these words came out, the goosebumps of the male intellectuals were frightened, so he could only force his composure and gave the woman a big-eared scraper to sober her up.

After a slap, the woman suddenly came to her senses, and asked where this was, and where did the rest of the people go?

The man didn't dare to tell the truth for fear of scaring her, so he simply said that he was lost.

The female intellectuals had already come to their senses, and the two turned their heads and were about to turn back, but when they passed by the depression, the man glanced at it and suddenly found that there were four deserted graves without monuments standing in the depression.

The two men were frightened and rushed down the mountain, when a team of rangers stopped them and asked why it was still in the mountains after such a heavy rain. The male intellectuals couldn't say that they had hit the ghost again, and they still deceived him with the claim that he was lost.

It stands to reason that they had not walked long, but when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they found that it was already dark.

Back at the Zhiqing Point, the other intellectuals surrounded them and asked them where they had gone, and when they saw that the two had not returned for a long time, they went back to look for them, but they were nowhere to be seen.

After that, the man fell ill, and the woman noisily excused herself and went back to the city.

A few months later, the educated youth, who was still going home to visit relatives, met her and asked about it, only to know that the reason why she did not return with the army that day was because when she first went up the mountain, she saw three soldiers in Japanese military uniforms looking at her and smiling, and her hands and feet walked up the mountain as if they did not listen to the call of her brain.

Later, the educated youths inquired about many old people to know that there were many graves on this mountain, but most of them were flattened later, and if the people who carried the eight characters lightly went up the mountain, it was easy to be entangled, and since then these educated youths have never been on the mountain......

After the story was over, I saw that the three of them were still trapped in the plot, so I deliberately pointed to the distance and raised my voice and shouted: "Look! Little Jap! ”

The little steel cannon reacted the fastest, and its butt sprang up as if it were on fire, and the butt of the polished Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was rested on the shoulder, and the right hand grip and left hand were resting on the front of the rifle to aim in the direction I was pointing.

The one-stop action coupled with his vigilant expression made everyone laugh, and then he reacted to being deceived, and sat down angrily and said: "Jianhua, you kid doesn't do anything, my trigger was almost pulled!" ”

I held back a smile and said: "I didn't expect you to be so agile, pick up the gun and aim in one go, worthy of being a veteran for more than ten years, this is not a skill that can be practiced overnight, it is really a top soldier among the top soldiers!" ”

I put on a top hat, he smiled embarrassedly, carefully laid the gun on the ground, and then talked about his heroic deeds in the company.

Although it was snowing this night, everyone's spirit was very energetic, all of them were high-spirited, and we talked nonsense about everything up to astronomy and geography and down to trivial things, until the bonfire went out, and we were reluctant to go back to the tent to stare at it for a while......

Early the next morning, we looked for a suitable construction location along the road to Huanglongtan, where due to the abundant water source and vegetation are also very lush, we walked hard in the knee-high grass, and the surveyors and geological prospectors took instruments to measure all the way to make records, but still felt that the location was not ideal, and wanted to investigate further.

We pushed forward another kilometre or so, and did not stop until the high rocks blocked our way, and in the pool on our left hand were two flatbed boats tied with thick hemp ropes, and the snowflakes that had fallen on them had frozen into ice, and it seemed that we had not been passive for a while.

"Comrades, withdraw, there is no way ahead." Surveyor Xiao Zhang held up his glasses and shouted at us.

"Why is there no way? That's not a cave! Geological prospector Xiao Wang pointed to the center of Huanglongtan and said.

I took a closer look, and there was a waterfall that splashed down the mountainside along the mountain wall and fell into the Yellow Dragon Pond, and a closer look could vaguely see the cave covered by the waterfall.

"Xiao Wang, our task is to step on the point, we don't know what the situation is there, this is not risky." After looking at it, Xiao Zhang rejected the proposal because of the potential risks.

There are only two roads in front of you, one is to withdraw the original way and the other is to enter the cave to investigate, the two of them have been arguing back and forth for a long time, and no one can convince each other, Xiao Gang Cannon and the secretary stand at both ends of the crowd one after the other, the purpose of their trip is to protect the technicians and educated youth, and the instructor did not give them the right to express their opinions.

In the blink of an eye, the dispute between the two turned into a debate meeting of the team, and some of the educated youths wanted to go back and some wanted to move forward, each with their own ideas.

The originally united team is about to disperse now, Brother Wei Guo stepped forward to persuade: "The words of the two technician comrades are reasonable, and Technician Zhang is also thinking about the safety of the big guy, but there is no business in this world that does not cost money, and everything has to take risks. ”

"Yes, this mountain cliff cave is not a Longtan tiger's den, there is no right to speak without investigation, and there are boats moored here, it seems to be a waterway that can be crossed." I thought to myself that since I've come here, it's a bit of a failure to retreat now, so it's better to feel what the situation is, and besides, we are so strong that it's still broad daylight, so we won't hit the ghost again.

The rest of the educated youths saw that we seemed to have a little bit of truth in singing and harmonizing, so they didn't say much, and Technician Zhang couldn't help but reluctantly agree when he saw the momentum, but repeatedly emphasized that there was danger and immediately withdrew.

After the meeting ended successfully, we untied the hemp rope that tied the flatbed boat and boarded it one by one, and the two veterans were in charge of a boat and rocked it into the cave with a long pole.

The water of Huanglongtan looks emerald green from the surface, but when you really stand on the surface of the water and look down, you find that it is extremely clear, and the black fish swim comfortably from the side of the boat and are not frightened by the arrival of us uninvited guests, but the water in this pool is too deep to see the bottom of the water.

The boat slowly sailed into the cave, and the light suddenly darkened, and the water here was blackened by the surrounding rock walls, and when the wind swept across the water, it set off black ripples.

With a click, the miner's lamp was turned on, and the cave was lit up again, but the light was very abrupt from the environment, and there was an indescribable weirdness, the length of the cave was not short, and we were going up against the current, and it would take a quarter of an hour to pass through at the current speed.

"Huazi, are you good at water," Brother Wei asked quietly in my ear.

"It's okay, you can swim a hundred and eighty meters in a deep place." I didn't know what he meant, so I returned truthfully.

He paused for a moment, then added, "I'm a landlubber, and if you fall overboard, you'll have to catch me." ”

I looked at the burly young man in front of me, and then I realized that he didn't understand water, although I nodded again and again to say that it was no problem, but I still reminded him to be careful and try not to fall into the water, because his physique is bigger than mine, and I am afraid that I will not be rescued but dragged to the bottom of the water.

"I've heard people say that there is a water ghost living in the water in the mountains every hundred steps, you be careful not to be dragged away." There was not much space on the flatbed, and we were a boatload of people side by side, and one of them heard our words and deliberately pinched his voice and joked.

I experienced those strange things before, and I was already immune to water ghosts and the like, but Brother Wei Guo subconsciously squeezed in, for fear that he would really be squeezed out of the boat.

At this time, there was a sudden tom sound from both ends of the rock wall falling into the water, and the big guy heard this movement and immediately looked towards the rock wall.

"Don't worry, it's supposed to be the stone on the wall that has fallen." The secretary stood in the boat behind him and called out to the group.

As soon as we finished speaking, we heard another gurgling sound under our boat, and a lot of foam fell to the water.

"Why do the stones still spit foam?" The young man beside him muttered.

I looked at the churning bubbles, and found that the waterline that had been connected in the water was approaching the direction of the boat, and under the illumination of the miner's lamp, I could faintly see the long black shadows in the water swimming synchronously.

"There is a situation, everyone lean in as much as possible!" Standing at the bow of the ship, the little steel cannon could see more clearly through the miner's lamp, and he also noticed the unknown creature, and turned his head to remind everyone.

In a moment, a huge number of black shadows gathered from all sides of the water, and the writhing body swayed the top of the ship from side to side.

"Snakes! It's a snake! One person in the crowd was crying and screaming.

When I was a child, I resisted snakes and other chordates, and when I heard that it was a snake, I squeezed back half a step back.

"Where did the snake come from in the winter, and it doesn't hibernate?" Brother Wei Guo heard that his face was full of doubts and he stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to see clearly, and as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a cylindrical thing attached to the hull of the ship and jumped out of half of the body, with a hard shell on his body, two rows full of long feet, and two black pincer-shaped jaws squeaked in the mouth full of sharp teeth on the wall of the ship.

Several of us standing on the periphery were frightened by this scene and squeezed back in unison, the hull of the boat was already unstable, this imbalance The hull of the ship tilted sharply to the left, and the three intellectuals on the other side were planted into the pool without paying attention.

Before he could get the three men on board, the secretary shouted again, "Be careful! I saw a big worm crawling up at the stern of the boat, and its big pincers were hooked on the foot and neck of a young man, and the man jumped around the boat in shock and pain.

Technician Wang happened to be next to him, he took advantage of the situation to pick up the iron pickaxe and slammed it at this thing, a stream of yellow liquid splashed, its body arched upward, and after struggling for a while, it was killed.

The three people called for help in the water, and everyone reacted at this time and reached out to pull, two of them were immediately pulled up because of the location where they fell into the water, but one of them did not know much about the nature of the water and leaned farther and farther away against the rock wall.

"It's a water centipede, don't go into the water." The secretary shouted again, then drew his saber and plunged into the water in his mouth and swam towards the comrades who had fallen into the water.

Listening to the secretary say this, I remembered that I had seen water centipedes in the stream of Jilian Village, they are carnivorous insects that feed on fish fry, Yanni also caught them and dried them and ground them into powder as traditional Chinese medicine, but those water centipedes are only as big as the length of a finger, how can there be water centipedes dozens of times larger here, they are all half a person tall.

Without thinking too much, a large insect crawled up the comrade's waist from the water, and the large pincers pierced two bloody wounds, and the long flat mouth stretched out in the bloody mouth and wriggled and sucked the flesh.

The comrade was already struggling and had no strength to sink into the water, but fortunately, the secretary arrived and split the water centipede in two with a saber, and then swam back to the boat with the unconscious educated youth.

More and more water centipedes came out of the water and wanted to climb to the boat, and the gun raised by the little steel cannon was lowered for fear of injuring people by mistake, and he couldn't squeeze in.

"Turn off the miner's lamp!" I suddenly thought that Yanni said that water centipedes have phototaxis, and hurriedly shouted to the small steel cannon to turn off the miner's lamp.

The little steel cannon had no other way at the moment, so he listened to me and pulled out the miner's lamp line, and it was strange that after the lights in the cave were extinguished, the group of water centipedes actually retracted their bodies back into the water.

Everyone stayed motionless, and did not dare to speak, but they could hear the sound of the water surging under the boat, as if they were holding their breath and waiting for various results to happen.

"Row fast." Brother Wei Guoge quietly reminded, and the little steel cannon reacted and carefully inserted the boat pole into the water, slowly moving forward with the water.

At this time, our position was still more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, and the boat was surrounded by dense water centipedes, and we couldn't row hard at all, and the last ten meters were longer than a day and night.
