Chapter 221 – Striking Thunder Mountain on a Dark Day

I leaned over and picked up the broken hand on the ground, I can be sure that this is the right hand of Ah Xiang, wrist and broken, look at the broken surface of the teeth marks on the uneven, is a huge bite jaw force, to the hard bite off, only Shirley Yang with a flare, it seems that she and Ah Xiang should be together, they must have encountered some vicious beasts, and finally retreated to the dead volcano’s mouth of the living mountain to ask for help.

Fatty dragged the exhausted Uncle Ming to follow him from the bottom of the slope, and at the same time, on the upper side of the vertebral mountain, a red fire lizard turned out, spitting out a foot-long tongue, which still retained the ancient features of the post-glacial period, with several rows of sharp teeth.

Fatty and I immediately drew our guns to shoot, a burst of gunfire, the fire lizard was hit by the impact of the bullets back and forth, but its skin and flesh of the solid, only after the “mottled scaly”, light weapons, although it can be shot to injure it, but are not enough to fatal, the fat man touched out of the bag a group of three pull-fire detonators, as grenades thrown out towards it.

The fire lizard was hit by the bullets continuously, originally wanted to escape, but saw the rain of bullets suddenly stopped, it was again forward, the fat man threw out the pull-fire detonator just threw in its head, the backlash fell to the ground, it rushed forward with unabated momentum, just pounced on top of the detonator.

Due to the location near the crater of the sudden encounter, the distance is very close, and pull the fire detonator said to blow up, the detonator is very powerful to blow up the stone door, so close to the explosion of the distance may be the same, I hurriedly pressed Uncle Ming down, the top of the head of the loud bang, the explosion of the air wave will be fire lizards end of the air, a lot of debris popped up on us, thanks to the mountaineering helmets to protect the head of the vitals, but the exposed arms are being rubbed a few cuts out.

The pungent smoke dispersed, I looked up at the fire lizard, upside down in a dozen meters away, was blown through the guts, I just wanted to say to the fat man that it does not matter if you intend to learn Dong Cunrui, but it is best to stay away from other people, do not pull us to your back.

But at this time, I found Uncle Ming two eyes straight, staring at Ah Xiang’s broken hand, I was gloomy, and I did not know how to persuade him, as far as I know, human limbs broken, if the operation is carried out in a short period of time, it can still be connected, but how is it possible to carry out an operation in such an isolated environment? Besides, this broken surface is not a cut surface, and it is also impossible to reattach it at all, and we don’t even know if she is still alive now.

Uncle Ming froze for a while before asking me, “Is this …… my goddaughter s hand?” And did not wait for me to answer, then hung his head, full of disheveled look, seems to be very heartbroken, but also seems to be very remorseful, the expression and mood are very complicated.

Fatty also saw the broken hand, skimmed his lips at me, I know what he meant, very difficult, what about Uncle Ming? I waved my hand at him, the more I persuade him, the sadder he gets, don’t say anything, hurry up and set up Uncle Ming to go up the mountain.

So Fatty and I a side, holding Uncle Ming’s arm, and dragged him to the top of the conical mountain like a dead dog, near the crater there are a large number of black volcanic sand, volcanic rock from gray to black, and then formed sandy clean, at least a few million years, the dead volcano can also be said to be a corpse in nature, stepping on it to walk, the actual contact with those everlasting changes, will make a person produce a kind of inexplicable feeling of loss! I was even a little afraid of the steps to the crater, always worried about seeing the dead volcano in the belly of the mountain, is their corpses.

But the road is long there is an end, to the top of the mountain will have to face the reality, the crater is much smaller than I imagined, the erosion of the years, so that the mouth of the cave to wear down and collapsed a large part of the remaining size of the cave, but also like a factory in the chimney, no wonder that fire lizards can not climb in, look inside a, the bottom of some of the green fluorescent light, the kind of light that we are very familiar with, is fluorescent tubes emitted from the bottom of the I shouted a few times, I can not wait for someone to answer, then climbed in. Can’t wait for someone to answer, then climbed down.

The inverted trumpet of the dead volcano, there are a lot of stone and black wood well structure, may be used to use the priests to pass with, has been from the bottom of the yard to the top, although the wood has been rotten, but the square boulders are still very strong, I jumped to the bottom of the mountain in three times, I see Shirley Yang is holding Ah Xiang sitting in a corner, I see they are still alive, thump thump thump thump heart to stabilize a little bit.

Ah Xiang’s broken wrist has been emergency treatment by Shirley Yang, I asked Shirley Yang whether there is any injury? Is Ah Heung’s injury serious?

Shirley Yang shook her head at me, she was fine, but Ah Heung’s situation is not optimistic, in the underwater temple of the “white-bearded fish king” and “mottled jiao” a melee, the bottom of the temple broken, the entire wind erosion of the lake water poured into the ground, Shirley Yang was surged by the water, and then the water was poured into the ground, the water was poured into the ground. Shirley Yang was swept into the first underground lake by the surging rapids, and just after showing her head for a change of breath, she found Ah Heung being washed by the water from her side, and reached out to pull her, and as a result, both of them were taken into the second underground lake by the current, and did not wait for the shore to meet the King Salamander in the water, and Ah Heung was bitten by it, and dragged to the volcanic island in the lake, and then to the volcanic island in the lake. Shirley Yang chases after Ah Heung and saves her from the close fire, but she runs out of ammo and has to retreat to the crater on the mountain. She realizes that Ah Heung’s hand has been bitten off at some point, so she hastens to bandage it up, but there are no medicines and she can’t stop the bleeding completely, so she can’t do anything about it and only after she stabilizes, she thinks of launching a signal to call for help.

At this time, Uncle Ming and Fatty also came down separately, Fatty saw that all the people were still alive, so he took the paratrooper knife in his mouth and climbed back up, wanting to cut a few pieces of meat from the fire lizard, roasted to fill up the hunger, it was really too hungry to resist.

Uncle Ming looked at the injuries of Ah Xiang, his face was white with fear, said to me: “Hu old brother ah, you can not because Ah Xiang is missing a hand do not want her, now medicine is very developed, go back to press on a fake hand, wear a glove nothing can not be seen, she must be able to give you a son …… ”

I said to Uncle Ming, “I didn’t agree to take her as my wife when she didn’t have an injured hand, haven’t I made my position clear? I am firmly opposed to arranged marriages, my father and my mother have no temper with me, you old now take this to say things, it seems as if I dislike her missing a hand, I repeat, Ah Xiang is three hands, I can not marry her, she has several hands I do not care.”

Uncle Ming said, “Aiya, don’t put it off, to what mountain to chop wood, you guys go to Hong Kong and fall in love for a while, then it’s not an arranged marriage, since you don’t mind her hand, don’t you mind that she doesn’t look pretty enough?”

Shirley Yang looked a bit angry, frowned slightly and said, “What time is it to argue about these things? Why don’t you guys ever consider what Ah Xiang thinks? In your opinion, is she just a bargaining chip for business? Don’t forget that she also has an independent consciousness just like you guys, and is a person with likes and dislikes …… Hurry up and think of a way to treat her injuries, if you don’t suppress the deterioration of her injuries, I’m afraid she won’t be able to last through today.”

Uncle Ming and I was Shirley Yang lectured, speechless, although I know it is important to save people, but in this lack of medical care and medicine, want to control such a serious injury, but how easy it is, Ah Xiang’s arm has been Shirley Yang with a rope tightly tied, temporarily inhibit the blood flow, but this is not the way of the approach, time long this arm do not want to save it.

I have no good strategy, anxious back and forth degree step, a glance saw just when the fat man down, put on the ground of the backpack, heart, finally grabbed the straw, this time the fat man also came back, get back a few large pieces of lizard meat, I think the fat man and Uncle Ming, these two Italians, do not help not help, the more help the more help, so let them both go to the group to prepare a little food, Shirley Yang and I to save Ah Heung.

Shirley Yang removed the bandage on Ah Heung’s wrist, due to the lack of alcohol, I had to remove a bullet, with gunpowder in the wound on the prairie, and then the fat man’s bag of several pieces of faded shell turtle shells to find out, will be part of the crushed, and with water, applied in the wound, and then with tape fastened, and then wrapped around the outside of the sand cloth.

Shirley Yang asked me if this stuff can really heal the wound. I said anyway, Uncle Ming is so, can fade the shell of the old turtle have spirit, and will not stay away from the faded shell, but also often lick with saliva, so the shell can be used in medicine, in addition to detoxification of bruises, but also can be born to stop the bleeding of the muscle, his goddaughter this time is dead or alive, depending on the Uncle Ming has not lost sight of, if this thing does not have the kind of miraculous effect that he said, we are powerless to return to heaven, although not directly fatal injury, but Although it is not a direct fatal injury, Ah Heung’s body is thin, without painkillers, the pain can also kill her alive.

Ah Heung has just been burned by the gunpowder, has been awakened from unconsciousness, the pain whimpering, I comforted her: “The wound pain means that it is about to heal, missing a hand is actually nothing, anyway, people have two hands, in the past, I have a few comrades stepped on anti-infantry landmines, those mines are very lack of morality, specifically designed to maim the person without fatal, in order for the wounded soldier to become a burden to the opponent, and the result of their injuries after they were wounded. burden, as a result, after they were injured, they returned home as usual to participate in the report of the heroic model, moved thousands of people, and also all got married as usual, and did not see anything delayed.”

I haphazardly consoled Ah Xiang a few sentences, which sat down to rest, by the way, look at the terrain here, the dead volcano is natural, but in ancient times were man-made repairs, the space underneath is not small, we are in the center of the position, is a similar to a stone well of the building, but there are stone portals, the more to the surrounding terrain the narrower the bottom of the well from the top of the fall is not big, the dead volcano although located under the underground lake, but inside is very dry, with no signs of seepage.

Fatty raised a pile of fire, even sinews with skin and flesh of the fire lizard turned roast, through the light of the fire, I saw the stone wall carved with many primitive symbols, like the scattered stars in the sky, one of the eye nebulae pattern, in the five-clawed animal prints under the backdrop of the east, Shirley Yang had said to me, the Bible map has this symbol, “the evil Luo Hai City “The real altar of the eye must be in the east not far away from here, the world’s enemy, King Bao Zhu’s rap poetry, this place is called “Maga Slow Ning Dun” meaning “the big black sky strikes the thunder mountain”, “the big black sky”, “the big black sky”, “the big black sky”, “the big black sky”, “the big black sky”, “the big black sky”, “the big black sky”, “the big black sky”. The “Big Black Sky” is a demon that controls the ore in the legend.

I want to confirm with Shirley Yang, so I asked her if this is the “thunder mountain”? I did not expect this sentence just exported, next to Uncle Ming suddenly “ah yo” a sound, the fat man asked what he was alarmed?

Uncle Ming’s face changed, when I saw Ah Heung’s broken hand, I have not seen his face so ugly, and asked about it, only to find out that Uncle Ming is not a general superstitious person, especially on the fortune teller is even more convinced, his real name is called “Lei Xianming”, and when he heard that the name of this place is called “Strike Thunder Mountain”, does not that mean that it is the same as “Strike Thunder Mountain”? He was originally called “Lei Xianming”, and when he heard the name of the place called “Strike Thunder Mountain”, it is not the same as strike him.

Fatty and I were not convinced, not losing time to satirize him for making a fuss. Uncle Ming, however, said solemnly, “You do not believe in these, the name of this person ah, in a small way, it is a matter of good luck or bad luck, in a large way, life and death destiny is also all in it.”

Seeing that we don’t believe, Uncle Ming said, “The matter of Lok Fung Po is too far away, let’s not talk about it, you all know about the head of the Junta, Dai Hasa, don’t you? That is also the KMT within the figure of the storm, he was young when he asked someone to calculate the eight characters, measured for the fire of the phase, the need for water to help, so he asked someone to take a different name as Jiang Hanjin, all three characters have water character side, so he was in the career soaring ah.”

I said to Uncle Ming, “Yes, he didn’t fly well, and ended up falling to his death in an airplane, so what’s the use of changing his name? You don’t have to worry about that.”

Uncle Ming said no, no, you only know one, do not know the other, Dai also took a lot of aliases, because they are engaged in military intelligence agents, sometimes need to use aliases to contact, he had used Hong Miao, Shen Peilin and so on behalf of the name, even code names have to have water, you say it is not a ghost, but only the day he took the plane fell down, the ghosts of God had to use the name of “Gao Chongyue “This name, see the mountains do not see the water, violated the taboo, the results of the plane crashed into the mountain crashed, collect the body of those who inquired, only to know that the plane hit the mountain called “Dai Mountain”, the wreckage fell into the ravine called “sleepy rain gully “, clearly is to collect his life of the ghost gate, so these things, really rather believe it, can not believe it.

Fatty asked: “No, that what you first do not flirt, junta secret agent head of the matter how do you know so clearly? What exactly is your work? Confess from leniency, if you resist we will have to be strict with you.”

Uncle Ming hurriedly explained that there is no relationship with Daiasa, these are the years when doing business, listen to the fortune teller, but then a check, the fruit is not false, every word is true, so very much believe in these things, such examples are countless, can not be quickly withdrawn, or not to leave the old life in this can not be.

I said to Uncle Ming: “You have seen on the way, this underground where there is another place to go? We can only touch the tunnels on the east side of the dead volcano and hope that there will be a back door near the altar, but that will have to wait until we have eaten and rested a bit before we move, we can’t go anywhere now.”

Uncle Ming think anyway, this mountain can not stay, he is restless, hate to quickly go, walked to the east of the stone door, from the gap into the head to look, but just looked at not a few eyes, like to see something terrible, suddenly shut the door, with the back of the tight top, the brain out of a layer of soybean beads of sweat, alarmed voice: “Someone! …… someone behind the door, live …… alive.”
