Without any hesitation, Chan immediately embarked on his expedition, unaware of the serious sequelae of the cave trip for the rest of his life

The hole was deep, dark, and had countless forks in the road, and two people, one big and one small, broke into it with only lanterns, candles, and ropes, and Chen Zikun was still terrified when he recalled it years later.

At the beginning of the stage, there was a breeze to guide the way, less to take a lot of wrongful roads, although to take the road to the top of the mountain, but the road is not straight up and down, but curved and turned, spacious places can be hunched through, narrow places can only climb over, every time you walk through a fork in the road, Chen Zikun will use a dagger to carve a mark in a prominent position.

Qingfeng is right, the secret cave behind Chaoyunguan is indeed connected to Guding, because the air in the cave is circulating, Chen Zikun turned the flame of the horse lantern to the minimum, and slowly crawled forward, the cave was extremely quiet, and even the ticking of the pocket watch could be heard clearly.

After climbing for two hours, he had gone deep into the mountainside, the fire of the horse lantern was getting weaker and weaker, and the kerosene was almost burned out, but he couldn't see the light in front of him, Chen Zikun regretted a little, and rushed into the cave without careful arrangements, even if he died in it, no one knew.

But Qingfeng was still excited, as if it was just a game for him, there was a narrow cave in front of him, he lit the candle head before exploring the way, Chen Zikun followed, the two of them crawled in the cave, suddenly there was a scream, Qingfeng disappeared along with the candlelight.

The cave was too narrow for Chen Zikun to react quickly, and could only watch as the breeze disappeared into the endless abyss.

It was a bottomless cave, very narrow, and Chen Zikun's physique was too big to get into, and he shouted a few times at the entrance of the cave, and all he answered was an echo.

It's over, Qingfeng is hopeless.

This road is impassable, Chen Zikun retreated along the original road, the cave was so narrow that he couldn't turn around, he could only slowly retreat, and finally retreated to a spacious place, raised his eyes to see, but it was very different from the place he had just passed, and he was lost!

Chen Zikun frantically searched for the mark he had left, but he couldn't find it at all, and suddenly the lantern went out, and he suddenly fell into endless darkness.

He tried to calm himself down, but he couldn't calm down anyway, in the heart of a complicated cave, with no food, no light, no guides, and he didn't even know he was here, maybe it would be hundreds of years before anyone would find his bones.

……

Hugging the calf, it's raining, this is the first rain in early summer, menacing, the raindrops that split the head and cover the face hurt people, the bandits all hid in the thatched house to avoid the rain, Sun Meiyao sat on the tiger skin chair with a golden knife, listening to Sun Guizhi reading the newspaper, her face became more and more ugly.

The situation outside is very tense, it is said that the government has no trust in the army of Shandong, and is ready to transfer Feng Yuxiang's troops to Lunan to suppress bandits, this news makes Sun Da have a headache, although he and the Sixth Brigade have a grudge against his brother, but after all, the two sides have been getting along for many years, no matter how heavy the pressure is, there are countermeasures below, these days, food, salt and medicine can cross the blockade line, and the bandits can even spend money to buy bullets from the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade.

And all this, with the arrival of Feng Yuxiang's troops, will all end, Feng Yuxiang he has heard of this person, the army is extremely strict, the combat effectiveness is quite strong, the most important thing is that people have no friendship with themselves, and they will not be merciful in fighting, although the name of the Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army is loud, and there are tens of thousands of subordinates, but there are only more than 1,000 people who really have guns, and even fewer of them can fight, but only five or six hundred people.

There is also very bad news, the government did not let Zhang Jingyao out of the mountain at all, but there were a lot of old news that denounced Zhang Jingyao for being a fish and meat for the people when he was in power in Hunan.

Sun Meiyao's thick eyebrows tightened, and her heart was restless, but he was a well-known man, spitting and smashing a pit, how could he change what he said.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops splashed on the surface of the pond, and the water level became higher and higher, and it was about to overflow.

"Let the brothers take clay pots to scoop water, it's not easy to rain this time, God takes care of us." Sun Meiyao said with a smile, there are no springs on the mountain, drinking water depends on these reservoirs, and water resources are the most important in the case of heavy siege by officers and soldiers.

……

I don't know how long it took, Chen Zikun woke up from the dream, felt water dripping on his face, licked it, very strong earthy smell, but very thirsty, his lips had dried up like a desert, the kerosene in the horse lamp was also exhausted, there was no light in the cave, and he didn't even know where to climb.

Chen Zikun didn't know how long he had been in the cave, he only knew that he couldn't climb out in this life, and suddenly there were water drops on his face, indicating that there was a mystery above, he tried to get up and grope for it, jumped a few times, but couldn't touch the stone wall above.

There is a door! Chen Zikun wanted to climb up, but the four walls were slippery, and he couldn't find a foothold, and it was pitch black, so he couldn't get up at all.

That's it! Death is death, simply let it out, Chen Zikun gritted his teeth, pulled out a grenade, unscrewed the lid in the dark, pierced the oil paper seal, pulled down the safety ring, but did not throw it, and said with words in his mouth: "Buddha God Guanyin Jade Emperor Yama King, bless me Chen Zikun from death!" ”

The fuse sizzled, Chen Zikun was unmoved, and after finishing reading, he threw the grenade upwards violently, and then stood against the stone wall, waiting for the verdict of heaven.

……

Sun Meiyao sat on the tiger skin chair in a daze, watching the brothers scoop water out of the pond with clay pots, suddenly there was an inexplicable earthquake, shaking the chair unsteadily, and at the same time there was a muffled sound, as if coming from the ground, and then I saw a huge whirlpool in the center of the pond, and the water was rapidly decreasing.

Master Sun jumped up, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he couldn't take his eyes off the pond, and the full pool of water disappeared under his nose, revealing the silt at the bottom of the pond, and a big black hole.

The little bandits were all stunned, holding the clay pot at a loss, not knowing who would get up first, and the bandits knelt on the ground one by one and kowtowed.

Sun Meiyao looked back at Sun Guizhi: "Uncle, what's going on?" ”

Sun Guizhi, as a cottage military advisor, is well-informed and well-read, but in the face of this strange natural phenomenon, there is no way to explain it, he was stunned for a long time before he stroked his goatee and said: "Damnation." ”

"What is the damnation?" Sun Meiyao scratched her scalp for some reason.

"It's just that God is angry with us." Sun Guizhi explained.

"Damn, God can't get along with me!" Sun Meiyao was young and vigorous, pulled out the shell gun on her waist, fired three shots in a row into the sky, and scolded with her neck: "God, I will be your mother!" ”

Sun Guizhi sighed deeply, shook his head and left.

In the cave cell, the Western hostages were first frightened by loud noises and vibrations, and then they heard the gunshots outside, and they were so frightened that they kept shaking, the men read God bless, and the women simply cried, they had been kidnapped for half a month, during which they had not bathed, changed their clothes, drank clean water, and had not eaten a full meal, but they had witnessed a lot of cruel killings and bloody scenes, and their psychology had long since collapsed.

"John, what's that sound?" Catherine asked, she was also unkempt at the moment, and she had long since lost her bright color.

Powell, one of the few people who had his sanity left, thought for a while and said: "It seems to be coming from the ground, if it is an earthquake, there will not be such a strong sound, maybe it is some kind of geological change, you know, we don't know the geological form of Shandong, anything can happen." ”

"But they also seemed surprised." Catherine looked at the guards at the entrance of the cave suspiciously, those guys actually lay in the rain and kept kowtowing, and the only thing that can make the bandits who kill without blinking an eye so jealous is probably the power of nature.

"Of course, they're not geologists and won't give a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon." Powell's words dispelled Catherine's doubts.

……

After throwing out the German-made grenade, Chen Zikun stood by the stone wall with bated breath, he just went out to fight, and did not expect to gain anything, he had passed in this dark crypt I don't know if it was two days or three days, he was already desperate.

However, a miracle really happened, with a loud noise, the turbulent water surging down, Chen Zikun subconsciously grabbed the stone cave around him, firmly attached to the stone wall, although he couldn't see the water, but from the sound you can understand what is called a flying stream straight down 3,000 feet.

Fortunately, the place he was in happened to be an aisle, and the water did not stay, but flowed away directly, not a drop left, and Chen Zikun was not even wet on his body.

After the water was discharged, a ray of light shone in from far above, and Chen Zikun was suddenly excited, there is a door!

Although this ray of light is faint, like a cold star in the sky, it is enough to bring hope and motivation to a person in a desperate situation.

……

The night fell again, the rain had stopped, one of the three ponds on the top of the valley leaked the bottom, all the water was drained clean, some people said that the dragon king was absorbing water, some people said that God was angry, everyone said that there were different opinions, and people were panicked.

A bandit came out of the thatched hut and stood in the pond without water to pee, and while urinating, he yawned a long way, squinted his eyes when he yawned, and when he opened his eyes again, he was completely stupid.

He saw that in the black hole at the bottom of the pond, there was a black thing slowly climbing up.

It stands to reason that bandits have a lot of courage, but that was in the face of things they were familiar with, and now when he saw this monster who was not a ghost or a ghost, his courage was broken, and he peed his pants without saying anything, and he couldn't shout even if he wanted to, and watched the monster crawl out of the hole, stand upright at the bottom of the pond covered with silt, and slowly walk to himself.

The bandit rolled his eyelids and fainted with green bile.
