Chapter 10 9. Underground rocky beach

Some of these sacks are stacked five or six stories high, and it can be seen that there are several layers piled up underneath.Because of the struggle, many skeletons' hands and feet were exposed, but they couldn't escape the shackles of the tough wire after all, and all died here.The corpses were all in a state of natural dryness, with painful expressions, which made it hard to bear to look at. We tried to move some sacks, and the wires were all twisted together immediately. Chen Luohu was so scared that he was so scared that he was out of control. If he didn't let the urine pass when he came, I guess he would pee his pants.That Pei Qing, on the other hand, didn't say much, with a calm expression.

We got off the anchor, and the deputy squad leader jumped and climbed over a few rocks to check, and found that there was a long section in the same situation. There may be seven or eight hundred such corpses.This is simply a scaled down version of a mass grave. It is not without cowards to engage in geological exploration, and it is true that dead people are not often encountered.Seeing so much at once gave me a chill. Together, we feel that these people must be laborers captured by the Japanese army. It took a lot of labor to transport the parts of a heavy bomber. In such a terrain, there is no more convenient means of transportation than people.And the situation at that time was so confidential, so these people were finally silenced in this way.

Such heinous atrocities are nothing more than normal for the Japanese.However, we all feel strange why the corpses are piled up here. These "corpse sacks" cannot be used for other purposes. They must be used as buffer bags and should be used in blasting places. Could it be that the Japanese carried out blasting here? ? I thought of these collapsed boulders. Could it be that the geological collapse of these boulders was man-made by the Japanese? But we looked around and found no such traces at all. Pei Qing also said that deep in the crevices of the stones, you can see that the edges of the stones in the water below are very smooth. If you can't come out, this must be the site of a geological collapse a long time ago.

Similarly, this kind of place is not suitable for any blasting operations, otherwise it will easily cause a chain reaction in the rock formation, and the accumulation of these buffer bags is very chaotic, as if they were abandoned here.Are these extra? It's really hard to think of the weird ideas of the Japanese devils if you're not the person involved.This also makes us feel even more strange, what did they do at the end of this dark river? The raft was unusable, which made us mess up.The deputy squad leader asked the engineering soldiers to put away all the equipment, and we also shared a large part, because the raft was very heavy after deflation. After finishing, I found that the load I carried was beyond imagination.

We started trekking, rock by rock, with difficulty.Not long after we left, we suddenly understood why the Japanese piled up these corpses and they were actually filling the road here.These corpses filled up the gaps between the boulders so that the people behind could go faster. I couldn't help but feel nauseous, I had a creepy feeling, I felt like thorns were pricking the soles of my feet, and I just wanted to pass this area quickly. But contrary to expectations, the road here is almost impossible to pass. Every time you move to the next stone, you need to spend almost as much energy as doing a stunt. If you step on those sacks, you must sink your whole foot and get stuck in the wire. Cut the wire to pull it out.

We gritted our teeth and walked just over one kilometer, which took nearly three hours, and the deputy squad leader was exhausted to the limit.After one stop, all the people could not stand up, Wang Sichuan panted and said to me: "Old Wu, according to this progress, we may have to spend the night in a mass grave." Wang Sichuan was right. There was darkness in front of us. We didn't know how long the distance was, and we couldn't spend another three hours climbing back.The deputy squad leader and I looked at each other, thinking that there was nothing we could do, there were a hundred people who were unwilling and had to bite the bullet and rest here.

So I said, "Let's just live. These are our compatriots. They have been dead for so long and there is no peace. Let's keep watch for them. What's wrong?" Unexpectedly, before finishing speaking, Chen Luohu immediately disagreed: "Hungry objects." I was a little surprised and asked him, "Then what do you say?" "I think you should move on and rest after getting out of this place, because it's definitely not good to rest in this kind of place," he said. I couldn't laugh or cry, Wang Sichuan sarcastically said: "Who can't rest well? I'm afraid you're the only one here who can't rest well. Hey, settled down, aren't you afraid that there are ghosts here?"

Chen Luohu's face turned red, and he said immediately: "Hungry is fear. What happened? The hungry mother gave birth to me six months after she was pregnant. She was congenitally deficient and naturally timid. Can this be blamed for being hungry? And being timid doesn't prevent hunger from giving birth." Contribute to the motherland, whoever wants to make fun of you is a comrade." Wang Sichuan and I looked at each other, and there was nothing we could do about him. I said, "Ghosts and gods are superstitions. Rocks are a kind of substance, and corpses are also a kind of substance. Just treat them as stones. There is nothing to be afraid of." .Besides, I don’t think we’ll be able to get out of here in another day, we can’t afford that energy.”

Chen Luohu said: "It's dark in front of you, how do you know, maybe you will go out after another fifteen minutes." I thought about it, and it made some sense. If I can not sleep here, I don't want to be bold.At this time, Pei Qing said: "Don't argue, listen to the sound. The sound of the water in front is very stable, which means that the water potential has not changed much. I estimate that even if we have reached the edge, it will still take two to three hours to get out, because with our physical strength It is impossible for us to have the intensity of progress just now, and the road after this will become more and more incapable, and it will be a waste of efficiency to go on." His tone was unhurried and convincing, "rest here Most sensible, I am in favor of spending the night here, but we can shorten the rest."

Wang Sichuan really didn't care, he was already exhausted, and immediately said: "Three votes to one vote, the minority obeys the majority." I thought that Pei Qing really had a way, but I didn't expect this, and immediately followed him and said, "Xiao Pei is a high-achieving student, and he sees problems differently from us bumpkins. I also agree with his analysis." Chen Luohu still wanted to protest, but Wang Sichuan made a few gestures, and the soldiers had already put down all their things. Chen Luohu was so angry that he had no choice but to look ugly.But everyone ignored him, and we started looking around for a suitable camping site, and soon, we found a dry slab-shaped stone.

Climbing up, the engineering soldiers sorted out a place, and we sorted it out on it. After getting rid of the equipment, people were much more relaxed.Pei Qing took a small soldier to explore the road with simple equipment, and said to see how many of them are ahead. If it is like this all the way, we have to discard the equipment, otherwise we will not be able to reach the destination in our lifetime. I didn't think much of it at the time, and told him to be careful. The deputy squad leader told the soldier to take good care of Mr. Pei just like in a movie!The soldier stood at attention and said yes!We made an appointment that if there was an emergency, let them fire the police, and the two of them set off. We also have things to do ourselves. After clearing the site, we light up the fire and cook the marching meal.Although we were all wearing rain ponchos, we were all wet, so we took them off to bake.My sleeping bag was brought up from the team. It is said to be US military materials seized during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It has the letter US on it. I don’t like cleaning very much. When it smells musty, Wang Sichuan hurriedly asked me to take it away. Chen Luohu was sulking and ignored us, and we ignored him. I talked and laughed with Wang Sichuan on my own.People at that time had such a temper. Anyway, the team has a lot of fluidity. Everyone gets along well, and they don’t force it. Anyway, after the project is over, everyone has to go back to their respective places. I don’t know when the next time we meet. . The marching rice is compressed anhydrous fine grain, which contains salt and sugar. It is as big as a finger and can be cooked in a pot. It is unpalatable and tastes like medicine, but it is enough.Wang Sichuan went to fetch water, looked under the rock, and saw black sacks and wires, so he said, let's use the clean water he brought.In the end, the two of them put together a pot to cook, and then ate the batter in the ocean basin. When I was eating, I thought in my heart that this is not okay, what should I do if I run out of water, but it is annoying to think about it, and I think that when I am so thirsty, I have to drink it even if I urinate, and I will not be picky. Simply too lazy to think about it. After dinner, Pei Qing and the others haven’t come back yet, we all lit up cigarettes, I was smoking a mix of Evergrande and Harbin, I fought it myself, Wang Sichuan’s treatment or relationship is not as good as mine, I smoke Albania, 10 cents .I saw that there were no good cigarettes in the army, and they were all white cigarettes, so I handed them a pack of Evergrande to the deputy squad leader. It was not a lie, and he was so happy that he blushed. After taking a few puffs, we all felt very uncomfortable, and a few of them just smoked there without saying a word. To be honest, I can understand Chen Luohu quite well. To a certain extent, he is actually braver than us. He dares to show his timidity. Although other people are not as afraid as he is, it is impossible for them not to feel it at all.Especially eating in that kind of place is really uncomfortable. I can see that these people are all pretending to be indifferent. In fact, they are really like thorns on their backs. I always feel that there are people looking at us from all directions and want to turn their heads. Look, soon the shoulders are stiff. In order to divert attention, Wang Sichuan asked me to tell a few jokes to adjust it. I used to stay in the exploration team and was assisted by troops. Those soldiers often asked me to tell jokes. I made up a lot now. Wang Sichuan and I I heard it when I lived there, and knew I had a talent for storytelling. However, I feel a little silly when I suddenly propose to tell a joke. Usually, I talk about work first, talk about it, and talk about one thing, so as to seduce people first, and then tell a joke.The atmosphere here is not suitable for telling horror stories.I had a repertoire at the time, telling a story about a geological prospecting team member making jokes with ethnic minority girls in Yunnan.These soldiers don't know that they haven't seen a woman in a few years. Hearing this will definitely divert their attention. I was thinking about how to start the conversation, at this moment, "Papa Papa!" A series of thunderous gunshots suddenly came from a distance. The sound was so loud that we all jumped up. The deputy squad leader was a regular army after all. He threw the cigarette butt and grabbed the gun and went to the place where the gun went off. Several other engineers followed closely behind. Our skills were not as good as theirs, and I fell more than ten meters in one fell swoop. Wang Sichuan was too heavy, and soon slipped under the rock. His foot got stuck in the sack, and he couldn't get it out after a few tugs. I didn't have time to pay attention to him, so I let Chen Luohu, who was almost crawling behind me, take care of him, and hurriedly followed him.
