I took the crispy meat and walked towards the bamboo forest with ease. After all, it was daytime, and I felt a little relaxed.
Before we even got close to the bamboo forest, Surou and I heard the roar of people. We looked at each other happily and knew that we were in the right place. Children usually like to join in the fun, so Surou and I almost ran towards the direction of the bamboo forest. .
There are so many people, this was my first reaction. The originally dense bamboo forest disappeared, and I saw people on three levels inside and three levels outside. I am afraid that the entire village was mobilized.
No, no, it’s not just that, people from nearby villages are probably here.
The bamboo forest is gone, but there are many bamboos piled up in an open space next to it. Looking at that root, you can tell that it is newly dug.
I was afraid that Surou would disappear, so I pulled on Surou's clothes and squeezed in as hard as I could. Some adults were dissatisfied and said, "Don't squeeze, little kid. It's dangerous inside. Why are you joining in the fun?" "
I went in wholeheartedly, because I felt that my master was inside, so I ignored his words at all, but Surou stopped, looked at others eagerly and asked, "Uncle, tell me, where is the danger? Is there a big snake?" "
"I don't know if it's a big snake or not. I just heard someone say this morning, but there seems to be an ancient tomb dug here, and the troops here are not allowed to kill snakes. This is asking people who know snakes to drive the snakes away and squeeze in. Be careful of being bitten by a snake." The uncle was quite enthusiastic and spoke in succession.
"Then what are you doing around here?" Su Rou was a chatterbox, and he would ask anyone he caught.
"What are you doing? Watching snakes run away. I've grown up and seen a lot of snakes, but I've never seen a group of snakes crawling around. I'm going to see them today. Besides, after the snakes are gone, we still have to dig bamboo to earn money. Work points." I guess this uncle is also a chatty person, and he answered everything Surou asked in great detail.
"Uncle, what's going on in this ancient tomb?" I originally planned to squeeze in, but when I thought that Surou was already chatting with people, I might as well ask.
"I don't know what's going on, because this time when digging bamboo, we have to dig out the roots. After digging, we have to dig the ground again. We must not let bamboo grow. This is not what some bamboos call a deep root. Oh, I went to dig, and I found a big stone, which asked me to continue digging. As soon as I dug, hey, a stone door came out, which was weird and weird. I thought it was an ancient tomb, but I also thought, Where is the door to the ancient tomb?" The uncle took out a homemade khaki cigarette and lit it. It seemed that he was excited and needed to calm down.
Hearing what he said, I pulled the meat and squeezed it in without saying a word. During the process of squeezing, I could still hear the uncle saying: "I don't know what the boss is thinking. One moment he is making steel and the next moment he is catching mice." , now we have to dig out bamboo again, will we have to cut down trees in a few years?"
The two of us were small, so we quickly squeezed into the front row. What we saw was incredible. There were so many People's Liberation Army troops guarding the outside of the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest had been dug into pits. In some places in the middle, there were actually long ropes. It's a long black cloth, and you can't see what's inside.
I was anxious, so I grabbed Surou and ran towards the bamboo forest. Within two steps, a young-looking little soldier came over and shouted in standard Northeastern dialect: "Where did those two children get their lumps from? You can't." He ran inside."
"I'm looking for my master." I replied in Mandarin with "salt and pepper" in a hurry. Surou looked at me strangely next to me, "Master, what master?" At this moment, I had no time to explain.
"Oh, children can't lie. It's back to Master. Go, go, stay and play. We are on a mission. If the children disobey, they will be killed." After saying that, the little soldier smiled. , those dimples are quite deep. He scared us, so he laughed first.
Su Rou, don't think he is fat, he is actually a smart man. He had already noticed that the little soldier was scaring him, so he walked up to him with a silly smile: "Brother, let me tell you, I am here to find you." Dad, my dad is in there."
I almost vomited because I thought this crispy pork and my master are a perfect match. They all make up nonsense without blinking an eye. My master's is a wretched one. This pork is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Look at the stupid look on his smiling face. No one else dares to suspect that it is fake. Once suspected, it feels like It's like a crime.
The little soldier believed it and asked, "You're not lying, are you? Is your dad here? I said... "
The little soldier was having fun with the meat, but I was anxious to get in. I looked around, and I saw an acquaintance who was from the small courtyard.
I remember very clearly that the last time my master took me to the town, didn’t he just go to a small courtyard? This was the person who came to open the door, and I was absolutely sure it was him, because that day I was eating peanuts and he wanted to help me sweep the shells, but my master yelled at me and he thrust the broom into my hand.
"Uncle, uncle...!" I jumped up and shouted.
The man looked around in confusion, and I became anxious and shouted directly: "Stop looking, it's you who is calling."
The man noticed me. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, walked over, flicked my forehead with his finger, and said: "Little baby, you are not big, and you have a bad temper. Why am I the one yelling? "
"I have no choice. I'm here to find my master." I have found a savior, and I won't let him go after he is caught.
"Looking for your master?" The man frowned slightly, and then said: "Oh, I know, but I don't dare to take you to see him casually. Just wait, I will inform him."
After saying that, he turned around and left. I touched my forehead, which was a little sore from his flick, and waited anxiously. It had no other meaning, I was just curious, as if a cat had scratched me.
After a while, the man came out. This time he didn’t play with me. He said with a smile: “Let’s go, little baby, your master said to let you in.”
As soon as I heard this, I excitedly pulled the meat and ran inside. When the man saw it, he couldn't help shouting: "Hey, little brother, do you want to take someone with you?"
"My brother, it's okay." I was afraid that he would stop me, so I took Su Rou and ran all the way towards the place where the curtain was drawn.
The man actually had no intention of stopping me. He gave me a wry smile and let me go.
There was only one entrance to that long curtain. I pulled the meat and ran without paying attention to the front. As a result, I suddenly bumped into someone. I looked up. If it wasn't my cheap master, who was it
"Sanwa'er, you are very well-informed." The master smiled, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he used his unique style - to wash my head (sarcasm me).
I was eager to go in and watch the excitement, so I didn’t argue with him. I just patted my chest and said proudly: "Don’t even look at who I am? My brother sent me information in minutes. How could a revolutionary soldier not know this?" Where is the enemy?"
"Ha!" I was immediately greeted by Master's slap, which hit me on the back with a 'pop' sound.
After the beating, he ignored me and just stared at the crispy meat with a smile on his face. After looking at it for a long time, he said: "This little fat boy is lucky. He is also a true friend of you. Come in." .”
They let us both in. Surou and I cheered and followed my master in behind us.
As soon as we entered the curtain, Surou and I were startled. Snakes, densely packed snakes, one next to another, one after another, all in this narrow curtain. At one end of the curtain was a platform, on which stood There were a few people, and on the other side I saw a small cliff leading directly to the cemetery.
There is a small river pond under the small cliff. A little past the river pond, there is a wasteland connected to the mountain. There are no people living on the mountain.
I was thinking that it would be a good idea to drive the snake over that way.
"Follow me, or you will fall into a pile of snakes and no one will save you." My master warned me, walking in front with his hands behind his back.
I'm not worried, I know he will definitely save me, but when I saw the dense snakes, my scalp became tense. I followed his footsteps without any hesitation. As for the crispy meat, I was already afraid of it. I'm still walking, and I don't know if I regret taking this trip.
Strange to say, this long and narrow curtain is all flat except for the small platform that is a few points higher. In fact, my master led me to walk among the snakes, but I don’t know why. Wherever my master walked, The group of snakes will disperse and not take the initiative to attack.
I had goosebumps all over my body and walked very carefully, but I couldn't help but look carefully. Most of these snakes were 'Bamboo Leaf Green', there were also non-venomous cauliflower snakes, and there were also a small amount of 'Mawazi' (Golden Krait, Bungaras) are extremely venomous snakes. There are at least thousands of them here. Anyway, they are all gathered here and have no intention of leaving.
