Chapter 9 Air Raid Alert

So walk for a period of time, finally walked through this paved with snails passage, push open an iron door, inside open up, overhead there is a mountain outside the bright light leaks down, the rain has stopped, there is a burst of cool and refreshing breath on the face, the people took a long breath, this is the end of the alternate passage of a piece of connecting section, soon you can arrive at the west side of the air raid shelters, this large area runs through the entire belly of the mountain, the mine used to be Dense, now the interior is reinforced concrete.

I see Sun Jiuji bared his teeth in pain, both hands bloody, so I said to rest for a while before leaving, to bandage the wound on his hand.

Professor Sun put down the backpack, find a dry place to sit, by Shirley Yang took out the first aid kit to clean his wounds, Professor Sun sighed: “not to serve the old can not, backward ten years, fall a little what is it? Think of when in the orchard ditch labor farm ……”

I sat down, see Sun Jiuzi and set the old qualifications, big things can not do, small things do not do well, just want to make fun of him for a few sentences, raised his eyes but saw him and Shirley Yang standing behind a silhouette, the black shadow squatting on the ground, is secretly reaching out to pinch the snails stuck in the back of Professor Sun, pinch to a sent into the mouth to eat, the group of black shadows noiselessly, Shirley Yang and Professor Sun surprisingly did not find.

I was shocked, the youngest sister dragged to the back, called “a situation”, immediately jumped up, “engineer shovel” has long been copied in the hand, the fat man is also fast reaction, raised his hand on the “beads of fast offspring “Shot out sharply, two front end is the short offspring of armor-penetrating steel cone, like two flying locusts, “hoo” from Professor Sun and Shirley Yang two people in the middle of the swept through, rubbing that group of shadows nailed to the cement wall.

The black shadow in the corner is like a ghost like a phantom, after being frightened, it flashed and fled, its figure is so fast that it is hard to imagine, the fat man wanted to shoot it again with the quick offspring, but he heard Prof. Sun suddenly shouted, “Don’t release the arrows!” Immediately after that, he shouted, “The old Feng …… you do not run ah, we are not here to catch you …… the Cultural Revolution has long been over …… ”

Professor Sun’s shouts, in the empty wide air raid shelter repeatedly echoed, but the answer to him is not the sound of people, but the depths of the air raid shelter a burst of whistling mournful “air raid siren”.

Fatty and I are trying to get up to go after the black shadow, suddenly heard the air raid alarm came from the air raid shelter, the channel is very close to the sound, the mournful roar seems to lead to thousands of mountains and ravines with the same sound should be, so that people are thrilled.

Everyone was shocked, abandoned for many years in the tunnel of the Qingxi air-raid shelter, how could there be air-raid sirens ringing? Could it be the work of the missing Head Feng? Fatty cursed: “That chief belongs to the rabbit, how to run so fast?” The youngest sister said: “Not a person, who has such a fast body? I look like a monkey in the BaShan …….”

Just now the scene happened too fast, the tunnel has a lot of skylight cracks, there are many light leaks down, although not everywhere in the dark, but the light is hazy, did not see clearly that the black shadow is a person is a monkey, at this time to listen to the air-raid sirens ringing oddly, is hesitating to go over to look at the time.

Suddenly saw Professor Sun jumped up and ran straight into the depths of the tunnel, he ran while shouting the name of the Feng leader, Shirley Yang and I wanted to reach out and pull him, but they all fell short, I called out, “Master Sun Jiu, are you crazy?” Spreading his feet, he also rushed after Prof. Sun from behind, while greeting the rest of the few people who all followed as soon as possible.

The crowd ran along the tunnel tens of meters, to a huge arched concrete doorway, the front of the Sun Jiu master cold uncertainty stopped in his tracks, a burst of air raid sirens, are from the brush with the “war preparations, prepare for drought,” slogans at the base of the wall, where the light can not light the dead corner of the corner of the what things to rubbing in the movement of a non-stop, seemingly There is something in the corner that is moving around, as if it is shaking a hand-cranked air-raid siren.

I took advantage of Professor Sun stopped when he grabbed a hand, at the same time raised the “wolf-eye flashlight”, push open the beam of light like the dark corner will be shone over, the corner of the things feel the light change, immediately raised his head, is a plush a mountain ghost like a strange face, the blue anchor-like gaze like a torch like a candle.

That mountain ghost-like monster was “wolf eyes” glare shook the eyes, a panic in the strange whistle, it threw down the hands of fiddling with the “hand-cranked air-raid siren”, ringing through the hole of the air-raid siren immediately stopped, only to see it raised his hands, blocking the eyes to shield the blinding light, his hands full of wrinkled skin, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands, his hands. Purpose light, hand full of wrinkled skin and black hair and extremely long nails, never a human arm.

At this time Shirley Yang, the youngest sister, Fatty and other people have also rushed to, Fatty saw the situation and immediately raised the “beads fast crossbow” want to shoot it, Sun Jiuji busy push away his offspring box, panting, said: “Do not …… Don’t let go of the arrow, the old Feng …… is the …… is the old Feng …….”

The youngest sister does not know who Professor Sun said the old Feng, look forward to see, can not help but wonder, “Lang’s will be the old Feng? This is the mountain often have Bashan apes, mountain people who have not seen?”

The Bashan ape in the corner was close to the height of a normal person. Taking advantage of the crowd’s reluctance to move forward, the ape covered its eyes, which had been temporarily burned by the light from the wolf’s eye, and flashed into the darkness behind the concrete doorway, whistling and whistling in an instant, and was already a hundred paces away. I’m afraid that Prof. Sun will go crazy again.

I was afraid that Prof. Sun would go crazy again and chase after the Bashan apes, so I dared not let go of his arm and asked, “Mr. Sun, are you blind or have you lost your mind? You can’t even tell a man from an ape? Can’t you see clearly? Where is any Feng leader?”

Prof. Sun stuttered, “Do you think I’m just like Old Chen, who can’t take a hit and just goes crazy? That’s clearly the ape that Chief Feng keeps, I’ve seen it when I was in the labor farm, it’s a witty old thief, although it’s not with its master, but it always steals things from everywhere, and sends them to Feng when he’s not on guard, what kind of cigarettes, wine, sugar, tea, eggs, fruits, and …… there’s nothing that it can’t steal, and at that time, I also followed it and dipped into the light of the day. ”

Shirley Yang said to Master Sun Jiu: “Professor can you be sure? Bashan apes are everywhere in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is not just the one tamed by Mr. Feng under the sky.”

Prof. Sun said, “Although my eyes are dim, I will never be wrong, why? Because the old ape hanging on the neck of a gold medal, I saw at once, before Feng Feng was sentenced to reform through labor, not allowed to bring any personal belongings, he has a piece of ancestor passed down the Guanshan Taibao waist plate, is the imperial gift of the Ming Dynasty, was found to be sure to confiscate, Feng Feng can not afford this thing, hung in the ape in the neck of the ape, he absconded back, certainly will also be the ape back with the tiger. ”

I said: “It seems that Feng is also a legendary character, if he can really live to this day, I really want to go to meet this person.”

Fatty picked up the ground “hand-cranked air-raid siren”, said that this thing is now a rare child, Panjiayuan has a special collection, I do not know that the ape called the thief is stolen from where to play, thrown in the pity, said hand stuffed into the bag, and then said: “Since it can human nature, we might as well go up and capture the live! The Bashan robbers, forcing it to the Imperial Army to lead the way to sweep the village of Dixian, this guy must like to eat sugar, the Imperial Army here, the U.S. Chocolate has a lot of, but also worry about what can not find the entrance to the ancient tomb?”

Prof. Sun said, “Although the Bashan Ape protests, after all, it is a beast, and it is impossible to force it to lead the way, but we can follow its trail, and we may be able to find the old Feng and the ancient tomb of the Di Xian Village.”

I nodded my head and said, “That’s the way it is, pig-headed squad leader Fatty Wang, don’t you want to be a Taijun? Yours just give us the job of opening up the road in front of us, hurry up and get going.”

The people are worried that the Bashan Ape Laputus escaped far away from being able to track, they did not dare to delay, and followed the tunnel all the way to chase the past, this tunnel runs through the entire mountain west of Qingxi Town, the ground is paved with tracks to transport the earth and rocks, and a large number of mines around the mine will be dug out of the mountain, the air raid shelters and the regular tunnels are only a small part of it, the terrain inside is complicated, and there are many forked paths, and in the pitch-black long tunnel walked several kilometers away, and all were not seen. After walking for several kilometers through the long dark tunnel, I could not see any trace of the Bashan robin, and wondered where it had fled to.

It seemed that we should look for the “Wu Yang” first, instead of following the Bashan Ape in the labyrinth of tunnels. We had to continue to the end of the tunnel, which was near the criss-crossed canyon where the Wushan salt vein was not as close as it was, and also the area that we had planned to explore.

Arrived at the end of the tunnel, only to see the tunnel sides have collapsed, revealing a large cave, the hole are broken earth masonry, see brick color are ancient bricks, there are still half of the planed out of the sheep stone beasts, in the cave soil layer, half hidden half exposed, at a cursory glance, the number of is also quite a lot.

I said to the rest of the several people, this may be the project is close to the end of the collapse revealed, this air-raid shelter is a special product of a special time, in fact, like this is full of ancient irregular pits in the mountains, the collapse of the leakage of the situation is very serious, and simply can not build what the human defense facilities, people are not buried alive in it would be good, which can be expected to play a role in the role of the three defenses.

Prof. Sun grabbed the flashlight into the cave exposed by the collapse and looked: “This is a personal figurine martyrdom pit? But also not like ……” then found that there are chiseled half of the “sheep stone beast” and a large number of stone, it is guessed that it is likely to be an ancient carving manufacturing stone beasts of the place, the interior of the cave has seven or eight private room size, the exposed rock layers The surface is smooth and hard, the rock veins are very special, the stone used to carve the “Wuyang stone beast” is mined on the spot, in addition there is nothing special, but there is no witch salt vein in this cavern, if it is not an engineering tunnel extended here, it will never be exposed.

Shirley Yang found that the mountain wall has a cool wind flow, seems to have a small gap with the outside world, shoveling away the wall of soil, revealing a not too tight brick wall, with a hand a gently pushed, the brick wall will fall down, outside there is a large bright light scattered in, I probed out to see the cave opening in the mountainside, the hole in front of a section of a steep rocky road, winding to the bottom of the valley, in this place, but can not see the bottom of the valley situation! The bottom of the valley is not visible from here.

Opposite is a large area of leaning sky grounded cliffs, walls standing thousands of Ren, misty clouds, dozens of rainfall waterfalls, from the mountain rushed out from the gap between the wall straight through the valley bottom, due to the mountain wall is very high, pour out of the water, as a straight up and down the silver line, falling in the air in the pale and lush dangerous cliffs between the ancient wall, spectacular.

Canyon on both sides of the wall, are carved in the mountain in the concave bird road, vertical and horizontal turn, dense as a pearl network, I do not know where to, “Wuyang stone beast” cave under the section, only one of the insignificant section, I asked the youngest sister this canyon is what place? The youngest sister said it was “Coffin Gorge”, hanging coffins everywhere, this place a long time ago, “hanging coffins tend to be auspicious, drop wood for auspicious” of the ancient customs, but that has been many generations many generations ago customs, many nearby canyons have hanging coffins, but the “Coffin Gorge”. “Coffin Gorge” is because of the many hanging coffins, only to get this name.

I thought to myself, “the legend of the ancient tomb of the village of the earth immortal”, have not mentioned the hanging coffins hanging wall thing, “Guanshan Taibao” should not choose this wind and rain exposed place for the Yin House, then asked the youngest sister, what is at the bottom of the gorges? Has anyone gone down?

The youngest sister shook her head, said I do not know, because most of the locals know, “Coffin Gorge” is not just a gorge, but more than a dozen deep gorges and dangerous valleys crisscrossed in one place, from the heights overlooking the terrain as a “witch” word, also known as the “Little Witch Gorge”. “Little Witch Gorge”, in which most of the cliffs, there are ancient people chiseled out of the suspended trestle, but because of the age is too old, these trestles have become lost, many places to go halfway to cut off the road, and there is no road can come in, even if it is the local mountain people, should be very few know the path, because in addition to the road is difficult and dangerous. “Coffin Gorge” is even more hanging coffins densely covered, are hidden dead people withered bones, who has nothing to do to come here? I used to hear the old people say this: “Coffin Gorge, a line of sky, ten see nine sad.”

Mr. Sun said: “This is right, now the locals do not know the difference between the ancient mountain stacks and embedded mountain bird road, in fact, Coffin Gorge ancient road is embedded in the wall, every other section has a shallow hole, such as bird nests, the bird road is longitudinal and horizontal, a hundred steps back to the language, certainly refers to this crisscrossing bird road, a hundred steps bird road should be one of the section, as long as you want to find this section of the road, it is close to the tomb of the earth immortal. Road, it is not far from the entrance of the Earth Immortal Tomb.”

Shirley Yang looked for a while and said, “The difference between the towering cliffs is not less than 1,000 meters, and the bird paths between the walls are intricate and complicated, so it can be said that there are hundreds of turns and turns, and the mountainous terrain is lofty and hazy, and the surrounding clouds and fog blockade, how to judge which section is the place of the Hundred Steps and Nine Returns?”

I saw that “Coffin Gorge” is indeed an extraordinary situation, what is the concept of a drop of more than 1,000 meters? Equivalent to several dozens of skyscrapers yards together, and each canyon stretches around, the mountain clouds rise, the torrent rolls, the weather is mysterious, magnificent and magnificent, not enough to see, to see more.
