Do you think Lao Wen brought us here and let us live in this shabby courtyard?
Let me tell you secretly, it’s really not the case.
It turns out that there is a special cave in this small courtyard.
Entering the east room of the dilapidated courtyard, there was a broken wooden door with a large water tank in front of the door. Lao Ge asked Lao Wen to help move the water tank, and then stretched out his hand to open the wooden door.
After opening the door, you can see a path. Follow this path for fifty meters and turn a corner. ??
Guess what I saw then?
dugout!
Air raid shelter built in the 1940s and 1950s!
In fact, there are similar air-raid shelters in every city, and there are quite a lot of them. Many of them were built by the relevant departments at that time but were not used. In the new era of urban construction, some of these air-raid shelters have been backfilled and hidden, and some have been hidden.
It was not discovered yet, so it was preserved like this. In those turbulent times, this kind of air-raid shelter was also called an emergency shelter.
Seeing my surprise, Lao Wen smiled and said, "Where are you now? Come on, I'll take you down to have a look."
Lao Ge and Lao Wen conveniently lit the prepared torches and led the way, and the three of us followed him into the air-raid shelter.
As soon as you enter, there is a row of steps going down at 60 degrees. Go down the steps and you will enter the underground. The height here is not high, which is okay for Xiaoxuan. We guys would bump our heads if we don't bend down.
This cave is awesome. There are turns after a short walk, and you will definitely get lost if you don’t have someone to guide you.
After walking around for a long time, Lao Wen took us to a small room. It was said to be a small room, but it was actually a small cave dwelling dug out of the cave wall. We had seen several such small cave dwellings when we passed by just now.
I guess it was used to store supplies in the past.
There was a door to the small cave dwelling, which was locked. Old Wen took a torch and knocked on the door three times.
There was no movement inside.
Old Wen knocked twice more, and this time he said, "It's me, Wen Shupu."
After three to five minutes, the small door clicked open from the inside.
First a small crack was opened, and then through the crack in the door, I saw a pair of eyes, eyes full of vigilance.
When these eyes saw me, they were stunned for a moment, and then they opened the door directly.
"ah??"
"Brother Zhi Zhiyuan!" I was so shocked that I stuttered!
Seeing me being so rude, Lao Wen chuckled and said, "How's it going? I didn't lie to you yesterday, did I? Did I give you a surprise?"
I almost cursed, there was no surprise, this was just a fright, wasn't it? "Yunfeng, why are you here?" Brother Zhiyuan's eyes were a little dodgeful. He turned his head and looked at Lao Wen with dissatisfaction.
"Don't blame me! He took the initiative to ask me to help find a place," Lao Wen raised his hand aggrievedly and said, "This place is the safest in the entire Yinchuan City, so I brought the three of them here."
"Hey" Brother Zhiyuan sighed in a depressed mood, and then invited us into the house.
My sister-in-law, Chang Xiaoxia, welcomed us when she saw us. She warmly greeted us to sit down.
"Dou. What's your name, little brother?" Chang Xiaoxia asked.
"My name is not Dou or anything, my name is Lu Ziming, but they gave me the nickname Dou Sprout."
I looked around at the small cave dwelling.
The space here is not large, and the temperature is obviously several degrees lower than the outside. There is a bed, and the bed is covered with two thick quilts. There are also some gas stoves for cooking, pots and pans and other utensils around.
Chang Xiaoxia tidied everything up, like a small home.
No wonder Jin Fenghuang can't find my brother Zhiyuan.
This place is an air-raid shelter. If no one is there, the Beidou satellites may not be found even if they are placed in the courtyard!
As expected of Yinchuan Tong Laowen, he is awesome.
I stood up out of curiosity and asked: "Brother Zhiyuan, how did you and your sister-in-law escape? You don't know that Aza leads a large group of people outside and looks for you in major hotels and communities every day!"
"Hey, it's hard to explain in words, Yunfeng just sit down and talk."
He told us intermittently about his escape experience during those days.
Although the words were spoken calmly, my heart beat wildly and I was frightened.
Brother Zhiyuan took his sister-in-law Xiaoxia to steal cars, get into pig pens, and hide under bridges. He lost his cell phone and did not dare to contact anyone. If he had not met Lao Wen by chance, he would have been arrested.
arrive.
After meeting, Lao Wen not only deliberately hid them, but also heard that Chang Xiaoxia was pregnant. Lao Wen spent a lot of money to help buy supplements and daily necessities. Knowing that there was a lot of moisture in the air-raid shelter, he even borrowed a small generator from a friend.
I have a machine and an electric mattress, and I come here every two days to deliver rice, noodles, and vegetables. I'm really kind and kind.
Dou Yazai said at this time: "Jin Laogou faked his death, Brother Zhiyuan, you are careless, and we, Fengzi
You even deliberately hid it from me before, but it was all Azanabi’s fault! You bastard!”
"Aza" Liu Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he quickly restrained himself.
"Aza also deliberately hid it from me at the beginning, saying that he didn't know you. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that since he received the 550,000 yuan, he has decided to attack me secretly."
I nodded and said, "Yes, that's not all. Brother Zhiyuan, Jin Fenghuang's fake death was even concealed from you. I guess you must have confirmed the news more than once."
Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, several groups of people sent to the hospital came back and told me that they saw Jin Laoer's body with my own eyes. I was worried, so I sent Lao Liu to the hospital morgue specially. He told me the same thing when he came back,
It was said that Jin Fenghuang died of severe stab wounds."
"Brother Lao Liuliu."
I gritted my teeth and said, "You don't need to tell me, you should have guessed it."
Liu Zhiyuan closed his eyes in pain.
"Lao Liu and I have known each other for more than ten years. He used to block a knife for me. We are brothers in life and death. Although life has become dull since then, I can't believe that he would betray me." .??.
"Yunfeng, you should know that Lao Wen has few contacts with those people. Let me ask you something."
"Brother Zhiyuan, what do you want to ask?"
"You ran away to cover Xiaoxia and I that day. How is Old Song doing?"
"Dead." I didn't intend to hide it from him.
Liu Zhiyuan clenched and unclenched his right fist.
"Old Geng"
"died."
"And Brother Gangzi. That night, Brother Gangzi went to the candy factory to save you and me. He was beaten to death by Jin Laoer and died in front of me."
After hearing what happened to Gangzi, Liu Zhiyuan lowered his head and said nothing.
Wait until he raises his head again.
His face was already filled with tears.
"It was me who harmed Gangzi. He had planned to retire a long time ago. I forced him to come over for a drink. If he hadn't come that night, nothing would have happened."
"Hey." I shook my head and sighed: "Brother Zhiyuan, you are wrong. Even if Gangzi was not in the Hutong courtyard that night, as long as something happens to you, he will still come back from Lanzhou to save you. Brother Gangzi is that kind of person."
Speaking of Gangzi, I remembered what he had entrusted me to do before he died. I thought about my two wishes and finally expressed them.
Brother Zhiyuan recalled: "I know Fang Fang, a girl who can endure hardships very much. I made a note of this."
He looked up at the concrete roof of the air raid shelter and said, "Don't worry, Gangzi. If I, Liu Zhiyuan, can make a comeback, your sister will be my sister. I will make her prosperous and wealthy in this life."
"boom!"
Suddenly, Chang Xiaoxia slammed the iron basin onto the table.
With a frosty look on her face, she looked back at Brother Zhiyuan and said loudly: "What else do you think about making a comeback? Have you ever considered me! Have you ever considered the child in your belly!"
Some words had been buried in her heart for too long. Chang Xiaoxia became more and more excited and started throwing things.
"Our child! Do you plan to let him hide in this cave for the rest of his life! Make a comeback! The mountain has collapsed! What are you going to pick up! Liu Zhiyuan, wake up!"
A roar.
Brother Zhiyuan's mouth opened wide. He looked at the woman he loved, stunned.
"Forget it, why did you just say something unhappy after you came in?" At this time, Lao Wen grinned and said: "You have to live in hard times. You are all rich people. Look at me, a pauper and an old bachelor.
But I believe that as long as I work hard, I will definitely become a rich man in the future, and then I will marry a wife who is eight years younger than me. If she is not beautiful by then, I won’t even need a dick.”
After saying that, Lao Wen looked at me again and said: "And you, boss, you are a fool. You were chased away by people all over Yinchuan, and you just happened to have a pair of brothers in trouble. Lao Ge, it's cold, I'll take care of you."
Take it out and take a few sips to keep yourself warm."
Lao Ge, who was wearing a torn cotton-padded jacket, chuckled, reached into his cotton-padded jacket, and took out a small bottle of white wine. Then, like a magic trick, he stuffed it in his trouser pocket for a long time, and took out half a bag of spiced peanuts with the skin on.
Sit on the floor and bring an empty cup.
Except for Chang Xiaoxia, Lao Ge poured a small cup for everyone, including Douyazai and Xiaoxuan.
"Come on."
Lao Wen took the lead and raised his glass and said with a smile: "Without the east mountain, there will still be green mountains. If the green mountains are left, we will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Who knows what the future will bring. As long as a person is alive, it is better than anything else."
"It's done, it's done."
Later.
Everyone raised their hands.
The crisp sound of clinking wine glasses echoed in the underground air-raid shelter in Yinchuan Spider Alley and lingered for a long time.
