When I woke up, I was already in the Yellow Dragon Temple, and I was accompanied by Brother Wei Guo who was squatting aside.

"You kid don't want to die? How did you run into the dirt road? He was first overjoyed when he saw me wake up, and then frowned and said anxiously.

I didn't bother to explain to him, I just asked how the little steel cannon was.

He heard the sad look behind him, saying that the person was still in a coma, and with the current medical conditions, it was estimated that it was enough to choke, and there was a strong danger at all times.

Hearing this, my nose was sour, thinking about all the dangers encountered along the way, if there was no small steel cannon, we would have fed the black water centipedes in Huanglongtan, and we entered this ancient tomb to save us, but now we ended up in such a situation that I can't accept.

Maybe Brother Wei Guo saw through my thoughts, and persuaded everyone on the side to have their own lives, and the greatness of not seeking to survive, but to die a glorious death, if the little steel cannon really sacrificed, it would also save your three lives, which is worth it.

"Three lives? Lao Li Tou also came out? "Hearing this, I suddenly remembered that when we came out, Lao Li Tou was left alone in the tomb, and I don't know what happened to him at the moment.

Old Master Li and Comrade Qian Jin were outside, and they didn't seem to be a big deal. Brother Wei Guo raised his head and nodded outside the house, and then said, "By the way, why did you go under the temple?" What's in there? Wound the small steel cannon like this. “

Brother Wei Guo should not know the situation of our previous nine deaths, which means that Lao Li Tou and the two of them did not tell the things in the tomb, and at this time, I can't tell me what is in the ground, so I can only tell him that I accidentally fell into the trap of trapping beasts.

He was a little skeptical, but when he saw that I was in a bad state, he didn't continue to ask, but there were bursts of crying outside at this time, and I subconsciously thought that something had happened to the small steel cannon.

Sure enough, Brother Wei Guo helped me outside the temple, and the educated youths gathered in front of a fence built of gravel, where they all wiped their tears.

When I looked up, I found that it was a simple stone tomb, and the little steel cannon was lying in the middle with his eyes closed, his face was no longer bloody, and there were a few scattered white plums on his chest.

The secretary sat motionless on the ground with tears in his eyes, touching the stone tomb with his right hand, but at last he couldn't hold it anymore, and he cried out, and the sorrow suppressed in his heart was released like a tidal wave bursting the embankment.

The big guy was infected by this cry, and it was another cry, and I was also like a knife, remembering that a few days ago our team was still singing military songs in front of the bonfire, and the loud singing seemed to be echoing in my ears, but today the cute comrade-in-arms Little Steel Cannon is lying in this cold stone pit.

I know that all this happened because of us, if it weren't for the murderous tomb cannon that entered the ground, he would still be standing in front of everyone, but I didn't know how to tell everyone the truth, half because I was afraid that everyone would blame me, and half because I couldn't pass the level in my heart.

The two intellectuals helped the secretary general up and mourned for the small steel cannon together, and then everyone raised their right fists and swore an oath: "Dear comrades-in-arms, dear comrades, please rest assured, we will miss you forever, inherit your revolutionary legacy that is not afraid of sacrifice, and carry out the proletarian cultural revolution ......to the end with your blood-stained footprints."

At this time, I was in a trance as if I had lost my soul, and I just followed everyone to say the eulogy, and my brain gradually went blank.

After a long time, everyone calmed down from the pain, and then a series of reproaches and doubts came to me, what happened in this dirt road? And what did the four of us get into it?

I would love to explain, but I can't explain it with my mouth, and even if the strange creature under the tomb says it, no one will believe it.

"Jianhua, you tell everyone what happened, Xiao Gang Cannon is a veteran, how could he act without reporting to everyone?" The secretary walked up to me and asked, sobbing.

I didn't answer, just searched around, hoping to find Qian Jin, after all, this danger was directly caused by him, and he should give everyone an explanation.

I looked around and found him and Lao Li Tou in the ruins on the left side of the Huanglong Temple, Qian Jin leaned against the corner of the wall in a daze, as if he had not recovered from the previous incident, and Lao Li Tou was holding a cigarette stick in one hand and panting there.

I immediately walked up to them and said with a little anger, "Why do you want to go to the grave? How much are you hiding from me! ”

Old Li Tou just looked at me with tired eyes and didn't answer.

"Say it! Are you enemies? The secretary couldn't control his emotions at this time, and grabbed Qian Jin's collar with both hands and dragged him to his feet.

Qian Jin was suddenly shocked, waved his hand again and again to say no, and took out a stacked white paper from his coat pocket, and when he spread it out, it was a piece of paper, and a big red mark was stamped on it.

"I'm an archaeological researcher sent by the province, not an enemy, this is a letter of introduction." Qian Jin was a little nervous.

The secretary snatched the letter and looked at it, then put down the other hand that was holding the money into the collar.

"Why didn't you explain it in advance when you were on the team?" The secretary continued to ask, but his tone had softened a lot, and the letter looked like it was genuine.

Qian Jin showed a helpless face, saying that the reason why he concealed it was because he was afraid that there were speculators in the team, and revealing the secrets would cause great losses to the country when the time came, but this matter had already been connected with the instructor, and he knew the truth.

"And what about him?" The secretary slowed down, and then pointed to the old Li Tou on the side.

"He is my master, and he came to help, if you don't believe it, you can ask Comrade Yu Jianhua, he is also Comrade Yu Jianhua's master."

I didn't expect Qian Jin to put me in, and everyone looked at me in unison at this time.

I swallowed my saliva and closed my eyes and nodded, but it still explained that I only knew about Qian Jin's person in the Huanglong Temple, and I didn't know that Lao Li Tou would come before.

"Master, you can tell everyone what the situation is, a comrade-in-arms has been sacrificed, and he can't be allowed to go in vain." I spoke.

Lao Li looked at me and sighed first, and then said weakly: "Second brother, you explain, I still have half a breath, I can't bear it."

Qian Jin first glanced at Lao Li's head, then stomped his feet and said, "Okay, but not now." “

At this time, as soon as I was angry, I was still selling it, so I clenched my fists and wanted to step forward.

The secretary stopped me and shook his head at me slightly, he knew that since it was a task assigned by the organization, it naturally could not be easily revealed, and now that he was injured indiscriminately, the consequences would be very serious.

"My master only has half a life hanging now, I have to let him go out first, and after I go out, I will report the truth to your leaders." Qian Jin continued.

The secretary turned his head to look at everyone, then looked into the distance, and said melancholy: "I don't know what will happen if I continue to move forward, and the current situation here also needs to be reported to the team, and there are still wounded, I suggest retreating and joining the troops." ”

In fact, at this time, most of the educated youth had already retreated, and even the explorer Xiao Wang agreed with this suggestion.

"How do you go back? When I came, the insects in the Yellow Dragon Pond almost killed everyone, and even the boat sank, did it swim back? "Surveyor Xiao Zhang was very opposed to going deep into Huanglongtan, and then this series of things happened, and he didn't refute it angrily.

This caught my attention, and when we came, we had already taken away the two boats that were moored on the shore, so how did the old Li Tou come from?

I didn't ask him directly, but just observed from the sidelines, Lao Li looked very weak, and his face was covered with a layer of light gray, like a serious illness.

At this time, Lao Litou's eyes happened to intersect with me, and he seemed to see through my thoughts, and smiled reluctantly.

I don't care about guessing riddles, the most important thing at the moment is to leave from this treacherous place, for this reason everyone is still arguing there, there is an unknown risk of continuing to go deeper, and the retreat is the Yellow Dragon Pond water centipede waiting for the rabbit.

"Come here, come here." Qian Jin shouted.

I saw him break off a branch and hand it to Lao Li Tou, who drew it on the ground with one end of the branch, and told everyone that this is a hidden road back to the mouth of Mukeng Gorge in Wuxi Mountain, all the way is a shallow wetland, and will not pass through Huanglongtan.

It turned out that Lao Li Tou did not come from the same road as us, no wonder he was able to reach the Huanglong Temple without a boat raft, which also shows that he is familiar with this location, at least he has a certain understanding.

Since Lao Li Tou was already very weak, Qian Jin and I made a simple stretcher and carried him all the way back along the route drawn, and the result was that we arrived at the mouth of Mukeng Gorge in the evening of the next day and joined the large army smoothly.

The secretary general reported to the instructor about the incident he had experienced, and everyone collectively held a memorial meeting for Xiao Gangpao to send him on his last journey, while Lao Li Tou refused the opportunity for the army to send him to the provincial capital for medical treatment, and only asked to return to Jilian Village, so he was sent out overnight by the Great Liberation.

On the way forward, he once told me that Lao Litou's illness is not something that doctors can look at, he has a kind of blood curse, and he has to use something called Yu Hengxing to save it, and to find this thing, only Chen Laogou of Nanjing Chaotian Palace has a way.
