The villagers who came to inform the militia platoon leader said that a veteran cadre of the archaeological team had died. Hearing this, we and I had a cry in our minds. The veteran cadre was probably none other than Professor Sun we were looking for; if he died, we
The general trend must go away. Why not die sooner or later? It just happened to be at this critical moment.
Listening to the villager continue to report the situation to the militia platoon leader, it turned out that the archaeological team only came with two people, and asked the villagers to use baskets to hoist them into the hole of the coffin shop to see what was underneath. It had been more than an hour, how could I greet them?
There was no movement. The village chief was worried that something might happen to them, so he wanted to send a few brave villagers down to look for them. But everyone was frightened. Thinking of the legend of the coffin shop, people were panicked for a while, and no one dared to go down to die.
It is said that this hole probably leads to the underworld, and if you go down, you will not be able to come up.
Only the militia platoon leader, a strong man, had been there once, so the village chief had no choice but to send someone to come back to help him.
The last time the militia platoon leader went down to the cave, he pretended to be a hero. Recalling the cold cave, he was shaking all over when standing under the sun. Now it seems that the village chief sent someone to find him, maybe he is planning to do so.
Let him go down again. When he thought of this, the militia platoon leader's calf muscles twisted, and he screamed in pain secretly. He wanted to turn around and go back, but he couldn't move his legs anymore.
Seeing this as an opportunity, he winked at me, and I understood. Since Professor Sun fell into the cave with unknown life and death, we want to see the person in life and the body in death, so we must take the risk to rescue him. This is a remote and remote place.
If someone else comes to rescue him, Professor Sun will definitely be out of luck.
So I held the militia platoon leader's hand tightly and said to him: Comrade company commander, it turns out that you are the hero who went down into the tunnel first. Such actions are not just for ordinary people. I am really honored to shake hands with you.
Although the militia platoon leader is a rough guy, he is very vain, otherwise he would not have caused any farce of militia martial law. Seeing me talking like this, I felt very happy.
I struck while the iron was hot, and then said to him: I know that kind of cave. No matter how hard you strike, you will not be able to withstand the cold atmosphere in the cave for a long time. Since you have already gone down to explore the cave once, Professor Sun from our archaeological team will
It's that stubborn old man who's about to go bald. He's an old acquaintance. Why don't you take us there and I'll go through it for you. Of course, my actions are, firstly, to save my old friend, and secondly, to learn more about your hero.
Not only do I want to learn from you personally, but I also want to call on the people across the country to continue to launch a vigorous campaign to learn from you. So please take us to the coffin shop in the village quickly.
The militia platoon leader was a little embarrassed: Brother, you see, this is not because I don't want to let you into the village. It's just that the organization has given instructions to the militiamen that no idlers are allowed to go in today.
When I heard that, my heart was on fire, and I was filled with smoke. It seems that this grandson is still willing to take the easy way out. Even after giving him money and saying good things, he still refused to let in. Then I will be rude to you, so I grabbed the militiamen.
The platoon leader held the stick in his hand and said to him with a serious face: "Have you seen the lady behind me? She is the American special commissioner. To tell you the truth, we are from the China-US Cooperation Institute. If you continue to delay our important events, she will
We need to notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country and ask the organization to give you the position of platoon leader. I said you are a national cadre, why are you so incapable of distinguishing your appearance? She doesn't even notice if you don't.
Are you impatient? This is just for my sake. If I didn't admire you as a good man, I wouldn't tell you these things. Will you let us pass?
The militia platoon leader was confused and didn't understand what I meant. But when he heard that he could find an official and let the organization deal with him, he felt guilty and immediately agreed to take us into the village.
I gave two dollars to Old Man Liu's grandson and asked him to buy sweets. I told him not to be playful on the way back, so I beat him and went home.
I did not dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the militia platoon leader into Shibeidian Village behind the hillside. As soon as I turned around the hillside, my eyes suddenly opened up. It turned out that Shibeidian was located in a small basin surrounded by hills. This place is uniquely endowed with a very advantageous geographical environment.
Warm in winter and cool in summer. In the dry season, a small basin like this will not lack rain due to the air pressure; when the Yellow River floods, there are dense hills all around to resist it, forming a natural barrier. Moreover, the population of Shibeidian is quite large.
There are quite a few, at least five or six hundred households. Looking down from the hillside, the village is quite neat and orderly.
Not far ahead, I saw a huge stone monument standing on a hillside. I saw the wordless monument on Mount Tai back then, and it was already very huge. The stone monument at the entrance of Shibeidian Village is not much smaller than the wordless monument on Mount Tai.
The writing on the stele has long since disappeared. From a distance, it looks like a large, abrupt stone slab. There is a powerful, headless stone beast under the stele. It looks a bit like the beast holding the stele, but it is different.
We rushed into the village to rescue Professor Sun. On the way, we saw this strange stone tablet. We couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but we couldn't figure out the origin of this stone tablet. She asked me: This doesn't look like a tombstone. Look,
Does it look like there is an ancient tomb nearby?
I looked around as I walked. The environment here is good, the climate is pleasant, and it is suitable for living. However, it is surrounded by scattered hills, which are irregular and do not line up with the situation. It does not look like there are ancient tombs. Even if there were, they would not be princes or nobles.
The militia platoon leader said that the cave under the coffin in the village was very dark. The first floor was paved with blue bricks, there was a stone bed in the middle, and there was another cave below. It would be a cave.
where
In any case, our only hope now rests on Professor Sun. His life and death are unknown in the cave. No matter what kind of dragon or tiger is underneath, I must find a way to rescue him, and we will speed up the pace together.
The militia platoon leader led the way and stopped in front of a coffin shop at the east end of the village. Not only did they sell longevity materials, but they also sold incense and paper horses. There was an old plaque hanging in front of the door, and there were many villagers watching the fun.
There were three or five burly militiamen in front of the hall, preventing anyone from entering. In fact, even if they were allowed in, no one dared to enter now. Everyone was suspicious and talking about it. Some said that this hole probably leads to the Dragon Palace under the Yellow River.
, this alarm is huge. In a few days, the Dragon King of the Yellow River will be angry and will flood the area of ​​thousands of miles. Some people say that the cave is connected to the underworld. If it is not filled and sealed until night, the underworld will be destroyed.
Hungry ghosts will come out of the cave to cause harm to people. A primary school teacher in the village said something even more sinister: If you don't know anything about it, you will know that you are superstitious about balls. It must be cold and cold down there.
It leads to Antarctica. After a while, the ice water from the other side of the earth will pour in and drown you superstitious donkeys.
Several heads in the village, big and small, were running around in panic. The two archaeologists sent by the province did not move after they got down from the cave. The big basket they pulled up was also empty, and no one dared to go down and take a look.
.It is really difficult to excuse yourself when your superiors blame you.
The village chief and others were paying no attention when they saw the militia platoon leader turning around. This platoon leader was famous for his boldness in the village. Since the villagers did not dare to go down the hole, they had to let the militia platoon leader take the lead.
The militia platoon leader introduced me and me without waiting for the village chief's order, saying that these two were from the Sino-US Cooperation Institute and the archaeological team, and they were acquainted with the two archaeological workers below who were still alive and dead.
The village chief hugged me tightly: My comrade, we are hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally we have people from the organization here. Then he told me a lot of difficulties we are facing. It’s not that the village committee doesn’t want to
Rescue people, but everyone in the village is frightened by the legend of this coffin shop. There was originally a platoon of militiamen, but since 1979, the establishment has never been full, and there are only seven or eight ragtag groups without any formal training.
During training, I don’t know how to deal with such an unexpected situation. Since there are comrades sent by superiors, the militiamen will all be under your command.
I understood what the village chief meant. He put all the responsibility on me. Now I didn’t care to argue with him about it. I entered the house and took a look. Many of the floor tiles in the coffin shop were pried open.
, a huge gap was exposed underneath, and it was so dark inside that I couldn’t see how deep it was. I didn’t bring anything with me, so it was very difficult for me and myself to go down and save people, so someone had to help.
So I first asked the village chief to send a villager with quick legs and feet to the county town to move reinforcements, whether it is the police, armed police, or medical personnel, so that they can arrive as soon as possible. But the functional part of this kind of rural county town
Once it is operational, it requires layer upon layer of requests and approvals, which is extremely inefficient. You cannot fully count on them arriving in time.
I know that Professor Sun and others have been down there for a long time. If there was really any danger, they would probably have died long ago. We can only pray for the blessing of our ancestors. They are just trapped down there, so we still have a chance to rescue them. But if you want to
No, we can't act rashly this time, and these militiamen are a mob, so we must be prepared in advance; if another accident happens, we will be in big trouble.
Then I asked the militia platoon leader to gather all the militiamen. Counting the militia platoon leader, there were eight people in total. They all carried fire sticks and red tassel guns and stood in a horizontal line. I stood in front and said to them: Comrades, we have two comrades here.
They are in trouble below. I will take you to rescue them now. Everyone, please listen to my instructions and don't have too many worries. This place is definitely not some underworld, it may be some kind of ancient ruins. I ask you to save people.
, it won’t be voluntary labor. Each of you will have one hundred yuan in labor fees. If you rescue the person, each of you will be given another one hundred yuan. How about you, comrades, are you determined and dare to go?
The militiamen were in low spirits at first and didn't want to take risks, but they had to listen to the village chief's words. Some of them even planned to pretend to have stomachaches. But after hearing the news, they said that they would pay two hundred yuan per person for labor service, and immediately
They were full of energy, held their chests high, their mental outlook changed, and agreed in unison.
Seeing that the money offensive was working, I asked everyone to bring a few rifles from the village's armed forces, and asked the village chief to prepare candles and flashlights. In the countryside, there are those kind of whistles made of tree bark, and each person got one.
Remind me: This place has at least two levels. Professor Sun and the others may want to see the degree of damage caused by air erosion on the lower level and what they encountered there. And I don’t know how deep below the two levels, the underground environment
The action of salt, moisture, gas, bacteria and other chemical organisms will cause a sharp change in the air, which will cause great harm to the human body. Each of us should cover our mouth and nose with a wet towel, light a torch, and immediately put out the torch.
Back up.
I nodded in agreement and asked everyone to prepare according to her words. Three militiamen were left to be responsible for lifting and lowering the basket, and the village chief and the people from the village committee were asked to guard the door to prevent irrelevant people from entering.
Seeing that it was almost ready, I was about to go down first when I suddenly saw a commotion outside the door and a blind man took advantage of the chaos and squeezed in. This man wore a pair of dual blind glasses, had a goatee, and held a thread-bound old book in one hand.
Holding a bamboo stick in his other hand, he anxiously asked the people waiting in the coffin shop: "Who is in charge? Please come out and talk."
I shouted to the village chief impatiently: "Aren't you not allowed to let idlers in? Why did you let this blind man in? Get him out quickly, don't delay our important things."
The blind man heard where I was speaking and hit me with a stick: You are rude, you don’t even know who I am, otherwise how could you dare to utter such arrogant words? I am here to save your lives.
The village chief also rushed over and said to me: Comrade Hu, this is a famous fortune teller in the county. Last year, my mother-in-law stepped on a fox fairy and was possessed by an evil spirit. Thanks to this gentleman's advice, she saved her life. Listen to what he said, and you will definitely
That's right.
I was extremely anxious and eager to know the whereabouts of Professor Sun, so I yelled at the blind man: Damn it, uncle, why didn’t we deal with you when we swept away all the demons and monsters? Where were you hiding then? Now,
If you show up pretending to be a wolf with a big tail, I tell you to get out of the car immediately and don't get in the way.
The blind man curled his lips and snorted coldly: I used to have a divination in Jiangxi, and I have a place to go when there is a disaster. At that time, there was no such young person like you who has no good words. I can't bear to see these innocent lives lost to you.
I have been implicated and sacrificed here, so I make it clear to you that this place is no ordinary place to go. If I tell you what is inside, I am afraid that you will be scared to death. Book Alliance
