Li Qingzhao said: You should be a hero when you live, and you can be a ghost when you die.
But a hero among mortals is by no means a lonely ghost after death. Although some people have died for many years, their thoughts still affect future generations.
On the first night in Beihugou, I encountered a warning from the female ghost Cha Gui Meilun. Li Chunfeng’s ghost sent servant Shabao invited me to be a guest, but I refused.
For an expert like Li Chunfeng, I can't venture to visit, because I am afraid that it will end up like a visit to a patron.
We endured until dawn in a mountain col. The snow stopped and the wind was small, and the sky was gloomy. It was not a good sign, but the inspection would continue.
Yang Zexin said to me: "The more this kind of weather, the more likely it is to cause forest fires."
I couldn't figure it out a bit, and I wondered: "How did mountain forest fires come about? If the fire melts the snow, wouldn't the snow water extinguish the mountain fires?"
The other side patiently explained: "When snow covers the fallen grass, a sealed space will be formed. When the fallen grass rots, a lot of heat will be generated. When the temperature rises to the burning point of the withered grass, it will ignite the lowest withered grass, and the flame The melted snow will be dried, and the fire will spread."
Meng Kuan added: “So what we have to do now is to dig a fire ditch and break up areas that are too thick with snow.”
He carried an engineer shovel. After breakfast, we climbed up the cliff and saw a dense forest with thick snow on the branches of these trees.
Meng Kuan used an engineer shovel to slash through the snow at will, exposing the weeds below, even if the possibility of spontaneous combustion of these weeds was eliminated.
When we were resting, we took out a kettle to drink to quench our thirst. A few squirrels jumped over the branches, shaking off the snow.
The mountains and forests here are one piece at a time, and we have to deal with each piece of forest well.
After handling a mountain forest, Meng Kuan led us back to the bottom of the ditch and continued to walk forward. I asked again: "Why don’t we continue to walk down the mountain forest on the cliff? We have to go down to the bottom of the ditch. Go ahead and climb the cliff?"
His explanation is that the vines and weeds on the hillside should also be taken care of, otherwise, once the fire at the bottom of the ditch bursts, it will ignite the weeds on the hillside and burn into the woods on the cliff.
In winter, the days are very short. We didn't do much work. It was dark. Meng Kuan turned on the miner's lamp on his hat and led us to find a place to spend the night.
The place he chose to stay was exactly under the cliff that was famous for last night.
We found a mountain col for shelter from the wind, hid here to build a fire to keep warm, and eat some dry food.
After eating and drinking, we couldn't help being sleepy. We had too much physical exertion during the day, so we didn't talk too much nonsense. Meng Kuan was still watching the night. Yang Zexin and I hugged the police dog fox hunting to sleep.
After closing my eyes, I saw a hint of red appearing on the cliff diagonally opposite. Could it be the light from the forest fire again? But when I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything.
After closing the eyes, the red group is gradually approaching us, but the speed is very slow, and it is stop-and-go, which seems to be full of alert for us.
I looked far away and finally saw it clearly. The red is a group of people, and the figure is petite, it should be the soul of a woman, because it is suspended in mid-air.
Could it be the female ghost who sent Gui Meilun? She is wearing a red trench coat.
My soul left the body and drifted towards this red soul. I am no longer afraid of lonely wild ghosts. These lonely wild ghosts will be afraid when they see me, and they will hide far away.
Only people will not be afraid of me, nor will I be afraid of people, because I still have sharp knives and guns in my hands.
Sure enough, this group of lonely souls in red immediately turned around to flee when they saw me, but she was against the wind, and I was against the wind, but my speed was faster than her speed.
"Stop, or I will shoot!" I scolded the red figure.
I don't know if the gun is effective against ghosts, but bullets can attack the opponent from a long distance.
The other party was really stunned by me and did not continue to escape. I quickly chased up. At this moment, I saw a thin woman with her back facing me, shivering. She was wearing a red wedding gown and a phoenix crown, but she was a pair. Little feet in black shoes.
I immediately became vigilant, squeezed the sharp knife, and yelled again: "Turn around slowly!"
The other party slowly turned around, and I saw the face of a little girl with a pale face. This was a little girl who was not as tall as my chest, and her eyes showed horror.
"Where are you a ghost, why do you swim here?" I felt that the tone of my speech was inferior to that of a ghost.
The little girl was too scared to answer, so I continued: "If you don't tell me, I'll check it out. Come with me!"
The other party finally pleaded in a low voice: "Please forgive me, I'm so scared here alone, I want to go home, I want to go home!"
"What is your name and where is your home?" I asked.
She saw the sharp knife in my hand, and her body continued to tremble, perhaps because of the cold.
I hurriedly put the knife into its sheath, shaking off the falling snow from the army coat.
"Uncle, you are the People's Liberation Army?" She guessed my identity from my military coat and cotton cap.
I nodded and said, "I am a soldier, and you haven't answered my question yet!"
The other party tremblingly replied: "E's name is Wei Zhaodi. E's family is in Honghuawo Village, Shaliangzi Township. E's family was brought here by an uncle hunter. He said he wanted to introduce someone to E. Eh came here with him, but he couldn't find it. To that object."
Her accent has a strong Shaanxi accent. This little girl has obviously turned into a ghost, but why is she still being introduced
"What about the uncle who brought you here?"
Wei Zhaodi replied slowly: "He asked E to stay here and wait for him to come back. He went to find a partner of E."
"It would be very dangerous for you to be here alone. I have two comrades in arms here. You are here with us and waiting for him to come back."
Wei Zhaodi nodded and agreed. I took out fried noodles, steamed buns and pickles and said to her, "Are you hungry? I have dry food here. You can eat some first."
She shook her head, and I turned around to return to Meng Kuan and Yang Zexin.
Wei Zhaodi followed me. We were both astral, so we walked silently.
In the mountain col where we were sleeping, the police dog Fox Hunt opened his eyes and barked at us.
Wei Zhaodi hurriedly hid behind me in fright, and I hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, this is the police dog who came to patrol the mountain with us. The two in front are my comrades-in-arms."
Meng Kuan looked at us alertly, but he couldn't see us.
He stopped the fox hunting, rather extinguished the miner's lamp, and took out the engineer shovel to clean the snow in front of us.
Wei Zhaodi hurriedly said to me: "Uncle, I can't stay with you, I'm afraid!"
When I saw my body and the eyes of the fox hunting, I immediately understood something and told her: "Then you are here. If you are in danger, call for help. I can hear you!"
Wei Zhaodi curled up on the hillside into a snowy nest. I returned to the place where I was sleeping, and merged with my body.
Meng Kuan raised his wrist to check the time, and then awakened Yang Zexin.
I also opened my eyes and said, "What was the fox hunting barking just now?"
"It's nothing, hurry up and sleep!" Meng Kuan hugged the hunting fox, leaned back against the mountain wall, and began to fall asleep.
I couldn't sleep anymore, and Yang Zexin obviously didn't sleep enough. With his dim eyes, he took a cigarette out of his pocket and started smoking.
"Aren't you afraid of causing a fire if you smoke here?"
Yang Zexin was surprised, so he looked at me and replied, "No, why don't you sleep?"
I said I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to ask him some questions.
The other party responded and said: "You ask, as long as I know!"
"where are you come from?"
Yang Zexin spouted a smoke ring and said, "I am from Lantian County, not far from here."
"Do you know that a yin marriage is married? It is a yin marriage." (End of this chapter)
