Chapter 14 Land of Death
Zhou Xirui looked at the panicked Li Wen inexplicably and did not move. Li Wen rushed to him with his lame feet and waved the diary and shouted, "Don't go quickly. There's something strange in this lake. If you don't leave, you will die!"
It seems that Li Wen found something in his diary. There have been many monsters these days, and Zhou Xirui's nerves are also tense. He quickly said, "Wait here." Li Wen didn't know what he was going to do, so he scolded in a hurry.
Zhou Xirui ignored her curse. Recently, he himself felt strange and seemed to be much more considerate to Li Wen. He quickly ran into the house, put his luggage on his back, thought about it, took a gun, took out all the bullets and put them in his pocket. He felt that the gun might be useful when he was in danger, but it seemed to be a long time ago, and the wooden buttstock was completely rotten. I don't know if it could be fired?
Then he ran over and put some of the cassava that had just been dug in his backpack. Holding a gun in one hand and Li Wen in the other, he walked to the village gate. When he came to the village gate, he first climbed up with his backpack, then threw the rope down and let Li Wen tie it to his waist and lifted her up. Sitting on the gate, Zhou Xirui looked at the dense shrubs on the slope outside and said to Li Wen, "Why don't we rest here all night? It's also dangerous outside. At least it's higher here. We tie a rope here, and it's not too late to pull the rope down quickly if there is danger.
Li Wen thought about it and agreed when he saw that the platform was relatively high. Zhou Xirui tied the rope. He wanted to set up the tent, but the platform was not very wide. The tent could not be unfolded on it, so he put it on the platform. He took out the cassava and peeled it, handed one to Li Wen, and asked her curiously, "What did you write in that diary? You are so scared!" Speaking of the diary, Li Wen shivered, and she slowly talked about the things recorded in the veteran's book...
The veteran's name is Zhang Yongkui. From the description in the previous description of the diary, it can be seen that he was born in a wealthy businessman family and studied in the army school. After graduation, he served in the army of his father's old friend Hu Zongnan. Because the father's relationship was quickly promoted to the position of company commander, everything seemed to be bright. Unfortunately, the Kuomintang had been defeated at that time. In a battle, more than 100 people were killed, leaving only more than 30 people.
At that time, there were pursuers and then there was a blockade. Zhang Yongkui had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to the old forest of Ebian. Unexpectedly, he strayed into the black bamboo ditch, which was called the "Valley of Death" by the Yi people.
The more I walked into the ditch, the more I felt that there were piles of cockroaches, and the streams were deep and foggy. According to the locals who came to lead the way, the valley was foggy and easy to get lost, and there were man-eating monsters. When they said this, the two locals were shaking. But in the ditch for a few days, they saw giant pandas, antelopes, cloud leopards and other rare animals, but they did not see any man-eating monsters, and Zhang Yongkui did not believe their words. Although there are only more than 30 people left, food has still become the most important problem to be solved. All the animals that can be seen and beaten have been eaten by them.
At that time, Zhang Yongkui sent six good shooting brothers into two groups and took the locals to hunt in the mountains. At that time, the two locals refused to go up the mountain and couldn't come back. Zhang Yongkui didn't believe this. He didn't pay attention to the legends of the black bamboo ditch with a gun. He pointed a gun at the guide's head and forced them to lead the way to the mountain to hunt.
But the two groups of people went there for hours and did not come back, which made Zhang Yongkui a little anxious. He took two people and ordered the remaining brothers to rest on the spot and not to move around to avoid getting lost.
He took people to climb the mountain in the direction of the hunters. To be honest, only when the three of them walked up, the quiet primitive forest and the rising fog made people feel a little afraid. But after all, he is a person who has been on the battlefield and lives in the pile of dead people. He scolded himself in his heart and suppressed those ominous feelings.
Under a cliff, a soldier accompanying him had a good eye and soon found some blood stains on the fallen leaves, which were very fresh. Less than 100 meters forward, you saw two guns and a paralyzed blood stain. From the paralyzed blood stain, there was a bloody drag, which obviously went down to a deep valley. Zhang Yongkui's heart jumped wildly. You should know that the soldiers sent are all sharpshooters. What kind of animal can bite the death gunner unless it is faster than the bullet.
