Chapter 4 Accidental Discovery
Due to the special nature of the troops, the mountain on which the troops are located is surrounded by a complete power grid, and below it is a two-meter-high cement wall with three wires on it, which is electrified all year round.
The scope of the power grid fence is very large, and the inspection of the power grid is the joint responsibility of the engineering detachment and the military dog detachment. Every time they inspect the power grid, they are two people and one dog, and they get up early to take Hei'er back, and go around the whole mountain. Each time the power grid will be subsidized by the superiors of twelve yuan, the veterans are basically not willing to do this drudgery, basically the recruits who are eager to perform to inspect, one to be able to show themselves, and the other is that at that time our allowance is only thirty-five yuan per month, and it is indeed not enough for the fierce King Kong cannon who smokes.
Early the next morning, the King Kong gun, dressed in camouflage uniform, carrying an 81 rifle and holding a machete, came to me to open the way. I didn't have a dog at that time, so I went with him alone. Due to the different nature of each detachment, unless our detachment has a special task, it does not have the opportunity to touch the gun in normal times, and the engineer detachment to which the King Kong Cannon belongs is equipped with rifles, and you can bring one with you during the inspection to prevent accidents.
Veterans basically don't bring them, firstly, there are very few situations, and secondly, they are too far away, and they are too tired to carry a gun. The King Kong cannon has strength, and the most important thing is that it feels like it's awesome to carry the gun, so I carry it every time.
Don't say it, he's been in the unexpected. Some time ago, this guy met a couple of young couples who fell in love from the hole in the wall while patrolling, and forced them to walk back to the team headquarters in the middle of the afternoon with a gun.
After coming back, the captain looked at the student IDs of the two of them and released them. He was given a verbal reward for the completion of the incident, and told him to be flexible in dealing with this kind of thing in the future. I guess King Kong Cannon definitely didn't understand this flexible handling as releasing people, because later he met an old woman who came in through a hole in the wall to pick up firewood and escorted people back.
"You land, open the way ahead. "When we got to the edge of the woods, the King Kong Cannon handed me his machete.
"Why don't you get out of the way?" I pouted and didn't take the machete in his hand.
"Then you carry a gun. "King Kong Cannon handed me the gun, and walked up from the front with his machete to chop and slash, clearing some long branches and weeds that were too close to the grid. I unloaded the magazine and found that there was one empty cartridge and two live ammunition inside.
Since the troops were stationed here as early as the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the closure of the mountain for more than 50 years has made there a lot of wild animals, and small mammals such as rabbits, pig badgers, etc. have popped out from time to time.
Three hours later, on the shady side of the mountain, the King Kong Cannon stopped on a sparsely wooded hill, "Old Yu, I remember digging that thing right here." ”
As soon as he said this, I began to look around the area, and the trees around it were very lush, but this hill had no vegetation, just a kind of herbaceous plant that we commonly called "devil ginger". On the north side of the hill is a steep downhill, and at the bottom of the slope is a small stagnant lake, which is blue and shows that the lake is very deep. In addition, there are a lot of dead branches and fallen grass floating on the surface of the lake, which makes people feel frightened when they look at it.
The King Kong Cannon searched left and right, and finally found the small pit on the sunny side of the hill.
"This is my reference!" he smirked, pointing to a pile of black things next to the pit
"What is this?" I crouched down to take a closer look.
"I poop. King Kong said with a wicked smile.
"Grass. I took a small shovel out of my satchel and dug down the small pit he was pointing to.
"Old Niu, when was the last time you came?" The small pit was not deep, and I easily dug out the part of He Shou Wu that remained in the soil.
"Last Saturday, what happened?" said King Kong crouched down.
"How did it grow so much in a week," I pointed to the half-cut He Shou Wu, "what you gave me yesterday was broken from the knee, how come this one already has half an ass?"
"Old Yu, do you believe it now? This thing is ginseng fruit," King Kong Pao's eyes widened.
I still understand the basic laws of nature, no plant can grow so quickly in just one week, and it seems that it is still repairing itself as it was. However, although he was very puzzled, he didn't think too much about it, and took out the newspaper and stuffed the top half of He Shouwu into his satchel.
Walking down the hill, the two of them casually found a cave to drink water. The mountain peak where the troops are located is surrounded by abandoned caves, which should have been shelters for combat during the Anti-Japanese War, and the sizes are different, the big ones are the size of a basketball court, and the small ones are about the same as our living room. The ones near the team headquarters have been trimmed and deepened by the troops to store the uniforms, while those farther away from the team headquarters have been abandoned.
The cave where I rested with King Kong Cannon was two meters high, with few weeds and no trees at the entrance, facing due south, and the midday sun shone halfway through the cave. After the two went in, they found a clean place to sit down, King Kong Cannon took off his satchel, pulled out two bottles of beer and a few ham sausages from it, raised his hand and threw me a bottle, I looked at it and threw it back to him, "I don't drink, give me a cigarette." ”
I asked for a cigarette with the King Kong Cannon, lit it and half lay down and spit out smoke rings. Seeing me spit out smoke rings, King Kong Cannon put down the beer, lit one himself, took a sharp breath, and saw that the few round smoke rings I had just spit out violently spit out a straight smoke line, which happened to pass through my smoke ring, "Haha, Lao Yu, what do you think this looks like?"
I glanced at the cannon and didn't speak, but when I looked up, I noticed a strange phenomenon, the smoke we spit out actually drifted into a gap in the roof of the cave.
"Old Niu, give me the lighter. "I got up and went out and dragged a few dead branches back.
"It's all short-sleeved, what are you lighting a fire?" muttered as he threw the lighter.
"I suspect there's a hole in it. I reached out and pointed up.
Lighting the dead branches, I could see it more clearly, and all the smoke drifted in through the crack in the roof of the cave.
"Come here. "I yelled at the King Kong cannon that I smoked out and ran to drink beer under a big tree.
"What are you doing?" said King Kong Cannon with a bottle.
"Were you sleeping during survival lesson?" I reminded him, "Look at the direction of this smoke. ”
"Why did you go up and not float out?"
"It shows that there's room in there. I nodded.
"Do you mean there's a hole in there?"
"Yes!" I nodded affirmatively, "and there's not a lot of space." ”
"Then let's dig it up and take a look, maybe it's the place where guns and ammunition were put in the war in the past, and when the time comes, maybe it can make a meritorious service or something. "King Kong Cannon is starting to talk in his sleep.
I turned on the kettle and extinguished the fire, and to be honest I was curious, but I didn't expect there to be weapons left over from the war, just curious.
"Human ladder. I pulled out a small shovel from my backpack and shouted at the King Kong Cannon.
"Come on!" King Kong quickly smoothed the rest of the beer, walked over to the wall and squatted.
"From. "I stepped right on his shoulder.
Tilting his head and waving a shovel to dig upward, the result was unexpectedly smooth, and it didn't take a few shovels to dig out a one-foot-square hole, which was black and slimy and couldn't see anything, and in the summer, he actually felt that the hole was cold and cold.
"Do you have a flashlight?" I jumped off the shoulder of the King Kong Cannon.
"What am I doing with that thing in broad daylight? "The cannon slapped against the dust on his shoulders.
"You can't see anything in there. I shook my head.
"Light a torch. "King Kong Cannon has an idea
"Go out and cut two branches. "I took his advice.
This guy is worthy of being from an engineering detachment, and the efficiency of cutting down a tree is still very high, and it didn't take much effort to drag two pine poles the thickness of wine bottles back.
"It's too thick, let's make do with it. "I quickly tied two torches using the polish from the rifle attachment box and the towels for two people.
"Go up and pull me up, and if I go up and pull me up first, you will suffer." "I crouched down against the wall.
"What's going on inside?" I said, looking up with a sore shoulder.
"I can't see anything in the pitch black, come up quickly," King Kong Cannon said, lying down and reaching out to pull me up.
"Hurry up and light the torch. The King Kong Cannon took out his lighter and lit the torch.
After observing the surrounding situation by the light of the torches, which was not too bright, the two of them couldn't help but gasp.
"Old Yu, this doesn't look like a place to put ammunition."
