Chapter 220. [Case 23] Within the high wall Thank you @love in the crown of Saipan
This is not the first time that I have climbed over a wall, even a wall with broken glass. Some time ago, I climbed over such a wall with Hu Zongren near the Huguang Guild Hall, although it didn’t really happen at that time.
Turn it in. It was winter and my clothes were thick, so Hu Zongren and I spent more than ten seconds guessing rock-paper-scissors. Since I lost, I cursed and took off my coat, and then asked Hu Zongren to carry me up.
, I covered the glass shards with my coat. This is so that when I break the glass later, the shards will not splash everywhere, and also because of the thick clothes, it will not make a loud sound.
Then Hu Zongren put me down, and I found half a brick around. Then Hu Zongren picked me up again, and he started to touch the glass shards carefully with his hands while breaking the glass shards that could be covered by clothes.
After all, the area was limited, so after I finished knocking this round, I moved the position slightly and knocked again for a while to ensure that the knocked-out area could accommodate Hu Zongren and I to pass smoothly.
Even though I broke the glass, I didn't dare to push it up with my bare hands. Those sharp edges would definitely scratch my young hands. So I threw away the half brick, supported the wall with both hands, and then lowered my head and said to Hu Zongren, you
Stand firm, I want to step on your shoulders first. So Hu Zongren squatted down slightly, showing a horse stance. In fact, he was holding the wall with both hands. Although I am smaller, my weight is not much worse than Hu Zongren
.So when I stood firmly on Hu Zongren's shoulders, Hu Zongren began to slowly stand up until I blocked the debris with my clothes, and then climbed up the wall.
At this time, Hu Zongren stayed below, so I turned around and let the top of the wall touch my belly. I used my belly to support me, then lowered my upper body slightly and reached out to Hu Zongren. In this way
If so, even if Hu Zongren can't grab the top of the wall at once, he can still grab my hand. As long as he doesn't let go, the two of us will be hanging on the wall like a piece of adhesive plaster. With a little support, Hu Zongren can lift up.
Reach out with your other hand and grab the top of the wall.
It is said that ideals are plump and reality is skinny, so the action I took for granted that night really made me feel completely skinny. When Hu Zongren took off, he actually grabbed me with both hands.
, so I had to use my other hand to grab him and pull him up with all my strength. As a result, my belly became the only stress point for the combined weight of the two of us. Fortunately, I
At that time, I still had a huge set of abdominal muscles, but I could clearly feel that under the weight of the two of us, which was almost 300 kilograms, there were still some small edges and corners on the wall where there were obvious glass shards knocked off by me.
In fact, it was something I couldn't handle, and it stung me for a while. In order to avoid serious injuries like intestinal rupture, I pulled Hu Zongren up at once until he let go of my hand and put his hands on the wall.
, I really had no strength, so I broke free and jumped from the wall about three meters high.
To be precise, I fell. Because I misjudged the terrain at that time, I suddenly stepped on the uneven ground and landed on my butt. Fortunately, although there were some rocks on the ground and the glass shards I had just knocked off, the ground was still intact.
Generally speaking, it's better than falling on the concrete floor. After Hu Zongren jumped off the wall, the two of us squatted together to catch our breath and rested for more than ten seconds. Then Hu Zongren stood up and said, let's go, let's look inside.
Go. So the two of us started groping forward in the waist-deep haystacks. Although we couldn't clearly see the surrounding situation, we could distinguish the general outline. The scope of this place is relatively large. If
If the estimate is correct, it will be almost as big as two football fields, and it is rugged. It is indeed very difficult to find things in the dark. Hu Zongren and I are both people with certain survival experience, so in such terrain,
We began to look for the lowest point based on our feelings. This point was very likely to be the path where the underground river originally flowed as mentioned by the tea stall owner earlier. Because the dry water happened in recent years, so for thousands of years before that,
There is water flowing here. The places washed by water must be relatively low-lying. The so-called water flows to low places. Hu Zongren and I are very careful every step we take, because there may be something terrible in these haystacks.
Bugs, after all, no one comes here, so they are relatively protected.
Soon we groped our way to the end of a downhill slope, and then when we continued walking in one direction, we noticed that it was a relatively long uphill slope, so we thought this should be the former river. Then we followed this low-lying
We walked in the direction we came from. Not long after, we saw an artificial building. Because of its square edges and corners, it was easy to distinguish it from the surrounding environment even in the dark. This was probably built at that time.
A small dam used to hold back water. At this time, Hu Zongren said to me, come here quickly, there is something here.
I walked in his direction, pushed aside the haystacks, and saw Hu Zongren's obscene black figure squatting on the ground. He whispered to me, did you see it? There is a stone tablet here. I was startled, and squatted on the ground.
I reached out to touch the stone that Hu Zongren was touching. When I first touched it, it was a little moist and slippery. When I felt it carefully, I found that it was already covered with moss. I felt like a blind man.
When I touched the front of the stele, I could tell from the traces of different shades that it was indeed an engraved stele. Could it be the stele that the tea stall owner said was used to record the deeds of Yao Gong? In terms of the feel,
, I roughly described the size and style of this stone tablet in my mind. Usually there are stone tablets like this beside some buildings, either to praise merits or to protect peace. Since it is impossible to know the name of the inscription.
content, so I just looked around and roughly remembered the location, thinking that if I wanted to get clues from it later, I would just come back again.
Now that we have found the right direction, all that is left is to walk towards the upstream direction of the river, so Hu Zongren and I started to turn back and walked towards the upstream direction. Along the way, we were both fighting against the grass, and we would hear from time to time.
There was a rustling sound from the haystack not far away. Such a sound at night is very scary, but it is probably just a small animal such as a field mouse. It was difficult to move, so we moved very slowly. We walked well.
After a while, I probably reached the middle. The terrain changed. It was no longer a gentle slope, but it was like a ladder. Each layer of propyne was about ten meters apart. This is probably because people still planted it here before.
It was the field ridge left behind when we were on the ground. I looked up and saw that although I could still see the viewing platform above, I could no longer see the park management office. So I reminded Hu Zongren, could we order one now?
It’s so scary to walk in the dark when the lights are on! Hu Zongren looked at it and said, light it up, we can find it faster if there is light. So I turned on the flashlight on my phone and looked at the surrounding terrain. There was about 100 meters in front of me.
There was a corner two or three hundred meters away. The corner was on a gentle slope. According to the logical sequence of the river here, that place should be the source of the underground river. I looked up and found that I could almost see.
In the afternoon, we were at the place where Hu Zongren and I had tea, so our judgment this time should be correct. So Hu Zongren and I planned to split up. He walked along the left side, and I walked along the right side. Each of us followed the instructions.
Search in a semicircular trajectory to ensure that you don’t miss much.
Since Hu Zongren changed his mobile phone, he has also begun to enter the smart era. As a young man, although he is a bit stupid, he can still use the basic functions, so he fiddled with the flashlight of his mobile phone and started talking to me.
We searched separately, but we did not turn on the light source all the time. Instead, we illuminated it for a while and became familiar with the terrain. Then we turned it off. After walking to a new place, we turned it on again for a while. This can also reduce the risk of being discovered.
possibility.
Ten minutes later, on the side I was looking for, I saw a stone-like thing protruding about one and a half meters above the ground and covering an area of about two square meters. Although there were a lot of rocks and rubble around here, this
With such a high protrusion, it was obviously man-made. So I took a closer look and found that its appearance was covered with vines. After removing the vines, I could see white lime-like things, which were very mottled and had several vines on them.
From where it fell, it looked like it was made of sand and gravel mixed with laterite and bricks. From the shape, it looked like a trapezoidal pillar with a wide bottom and a slightly narrower top, but the top was broken, or collapsed.
, I walked around and didn’t figure out what it was. Could it be the foundation left by someone here back then? I was about to call Hu Zongren to come over and take a look, but Hu Zongren called me from the other end, his voice
It's not big, but I can hear clearly in such an environment. He said come over here, I found something, it seems to be a shrine.
I perked up as soon as I heard this, and immediately walked towards Hu Zongren. After walking to him, he took a photo with his mobile phone and saw that among the haystacks in front of him, one of the haystacks had been lifted off the top.
Cover, a small square grid, about the same size as the strange thing I found at the other end, but not so high. But the difference is that the one in front of Hu Zongren is built on a stone pavement
On the completed base, it looks like a step. And although it is a square thing, there are only three walls, and the middle is empty, forming a door shape. There are small pillars at each corner.
, are all arc-shaped. Although there are overgrown weeds around and there is no roof, judging from my experience and that of Hu Zongren, this is an abandoned shrine used for worshiping Buddha.
"Even though the rain from the sky is wide, it cannot moisten the grass without roots; even though Buddhism is wide, it is difficult for those who are not good."
The roof of the shrine was then lifted up, but two incomplete words could still be vaguely seen: "Yeyu".
Hum hum, after struggling for so long, I finally found it.
