9. Underground rocky beach
Some of these sacks were built five or six stories high, and you can see that several layers were piled up below. Because of the struggle, many of the bones' hands and feet were exposed, but they could not escape the shackles of the tough wire and died here. The bodies were in a natural state of dryness, with painful expressions, which made people unbearable to look at them carefully.
We tried to move some sacks, and the wires were immediately tucked together. Chen Luohu was very scared and was so scared that he was out of sight. If he hadn't let the pee on him when he came, I would probably have peed his pants. However, Pei Qing didn't speak much and his expression was very calm.
We got off the anchor, and the deputy squad leader jumped over a few rocks and checked it. He found that there was a long period of time inside. There were probably not a thousand corpses, but seven or eight hundred. This is simply a reduced version of the mass grave.
There are cowards when geological exploration, and dead people are not often encountered. I feel a little cold when I see so many of them all at once.
As we all concluded, we felt that these people must be laborers captured by the Japanese army back then. It required a lot of labor to transport parts of a heavy bomber. Under such terrain, there was no more convenient means of transportation than people. The situation at that time was so confidential that these people were finally silenced in this way.
This outrageous atrocities are very common in the Japanese. However, we all feel strange, why are corpses piled up here? These "corpse sacks" cannot have other uses. They must be used as buffer bags and should be used in places where blasting is blasting. Has the Japanese done blasting here?
When I think of these collapsed boulders, was it that the geological collapse of these boulders that fell from shattering was created by Japanese people?
But after looking around, there was no trace of this around. Pei Qing also said that deep in the cracks of the stone, you can see that the edges of the stones in the water flow below were very smooth. Such a level of water grinding would not be able to be washed out without tens of thousands of years. This place must be a geological collapse site that was a very long time ago.
Similarly, this kind of place is not suitable for any blasting operations, otherwise it is easy to cause a chain reaction of rock formations, and the way these buffer packs accumulate is very chaotic, as if they are abandoned here. Are these extras?
It is not the person involved, so it is really hard to think of the strange thoughts of the Japanese devils. This also makes us feel even more strange. What did they do at the end of this dark river?
The raft was not available, which made us mess up the layout. The deputy squad leader asked the engineers to put away all the equipment, and we also shared a large part of it, because the raft was very heavy after it was deflated. After finishing it, I found that my load was beyond my imagination.
We started hiking and walked forward with stones, rocks and rocks. It was so difficult. Not long after we walked, we suddenly understood why the Japanese had to pile up these corpses here. They were actually filling the road. These corpses filled the gap between the boulders and the boulders, so that the people behind would walk faster.
I couldn't help feeling disgusted, and I felt like there was a thorn in the soles of my feet, and I just wanted to pass through this area as soon as possible.
But things went against my wishes. The road here was so difficult that it was impossible to pass. Every time I moved to the next stone, the effort required was similar to doing a special stunt. If I stepped on those sacks, my whole foot would definitely sink and get stuck in the wire. I had to cut the wire before I could pull it out.
We gritted our teeth and walked for only more than one kilometer. It took nearly three hours. The deputy squad leader was exhausted. After a stop, everyone 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 the mass grave."
Wang Sichuan was right. There was darkness ahead. I don’t know how long it was, so we couldn’t spend three hours crawling back. I looked at the deputy squad leader and thought to myself that there was nothing I could do about it. There were a hundred who didn’t want to, and they had to bite the bullet and rest here.
So I said, "Just pass by. These are our compatriots. They have died for so long but have not been quiet. Let's just treat them as guarding them for a night. What's wrong?"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Luohu immediately disagreed: "Hungry objected."
I was a little surprised and asked him, "What do you think you should do?"
"I think those who are hungry should continue to move forward and take a break after leaving this place, because, it will definitely not be good to rest in such a place." He said.
I was so amused and crying that Wang Sichuan sarcastically said, "Who can't rest well? I'm afraid you can't rest well here alone. Alas, settle down, are you afraid of ghosts here?"
Chen Luohu's face turned red and he immediately said, "Hungry means being afraid. Why do you suffer? My hungry mother gave birth to me after six months of pregnancy. She is born with a congenital deficiency and is born with timidity. Can you blame hunger? And being timid does not prevent hunger from making contributions to the motherland. Whoever you want to laugh at is to bury comrades."
Wang Sichuan and I looked at each other and couldn't do anything about him. I said, "Ghosts and gods are superstitious. Rocks are a substance, and corpses are also a substance. You just need to treat these as stones, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, I guess I can't get out of here even if I walk for another day, and we can't afford to waste our energy."
Chen Luohu said: "It's dark in front of me, how do you know? Maybe you'll go out in another fifteen minutes."
I thought about it and there was something wrong. If I could not sleep here, I wouldn’t want to be brave. At this time, Pei Qing said: “No need to argue. Listen to the sound, the sound of water in front is very stable, which means that the water level has not changed much. I guess even if we have reached the edge, it will still take two to three hours to get out, because with the exhaustion of our physical strength, we will not be able to move the intensity just now. The road after that will become increasingly overwhelming, and it will be a waste of efficiency.” His tone was not too slow and convincing, “It is wisest to rest here. I agree to spend the night here, but we can shorten the rest time.”
It doesn't matter that Wang Sichuan is already exhausted, so he immediately said: "Three votes to one vote, and the minority obeys the majority."
I thought to myself that Pei Qing really has a trick, but I didn't expect this, so I immediately followed him and said, "Xiao Pei is a talented student. Judging from the problem, I agree with his analysis."
Chen Luohu wanted to protest, but Wang Sichuan made several gestures, and several 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 began to look for a suitable campsite. Soon, we found a dry plate-shaped stone.
After climbing up, the engineers sorted out a place, and we sorted out the equipment. After we got rid of the equipment, the people felt much more relaxed. Pei Qing took a soldier with simple equipment and went to explore the way, saying that we could see how many of them were there in front. If it was all the way, we had to discard the equipment, otherwise we would not be able to reach our destination in our lifetime.
I didn't care at the time, so I asked him to be careful. The deputy squad leader said to the soldier to take good care of Gong Pei! The soldier stood attentively and said yes! We agreed that if there was an emergency, they would fire their guns and call the police, and the two of them set off.
We also have something to do. After cleaning up the territory, we lit the fire and cooked the marching rice. Although we were all wearing raincoats, we were completely wet, so we took off our sleeping bags from the team. It is said that they were the US military substance seized during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, with the letters of u.s. I don’t like to clean it very much. Once the baking comes, there is a musty smell. Wang Sichuan quickly asked me to take it away.
Chen Luohu was so arrogant that he 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 was very mobile. Everyone would be in good terms and not forced to do it. Anyway, after the project was over, everyone would have to go back to their respective places, and they might not know when they would meet next time.
The march rice is a compressed fine grain with salt and sugar inside. It is cooked as big as a piece of fingers. It is very unpalatable and tastes like a pot of potion, but it is also worth it. Wang Sichuan went to fetch water and looked under the stone. He saw the black sack and wire. He said, "It's better to use the clean water he brought with him." Finally, the two of them gathered a pot to cook, and then cooked it in a foreign basin to eat the batter.
When I was eating, I thought it was not possible. What should I do if I finished drinking my own water, but I was annoyed when I thought about it. When I was so thirsty that I had to drink urine, I wouldn’t be picky anymore. In the end, I was too lazy to think about it.
After dinner, Pei Qing and the others had not come back yet, we all lit cigarettes. I was smoking a mixed-fitting match between Evergrande and Harbin, and I fought for myself. Wang Sichuan's treatment or relationship was not as good as mine. I smoked Albania, one-cent eight. I saw that I couldn't smoke good cigarettes in the army, and they were all white poles, so I decided to hand the deputy squad leader a bag of Evergrande. It was not a lie. He was so happy that his face turned red.
After taking a few sips, we all felt very uncomfortable. Without saying a few people, they were just sucking there.
To be honest, I can actually understand Chen Luohu. To some extent, he is actually braver than us. He dares to show his timidity. Although others are not as scared as him, they cannot feel anything at all. Especially when eating in that kind of place, it is really uncomfortable. I can see that these people all pretend to be indifferent. In fact, they are really like thorns on their backs. They always feel that people are looking at us from all directions, and they always want to turn their heads to see, and soon their shoulders are hard.
In order to divert attention, Wang Sichuan asked me to tell a few jokes and adjust them. In the past, I always stayed in the exploration team and had people from the army to assist. Those soldiers often asked me to tell jokes. I have made up a lot of them now. Wang Sichuan and I heard about it when they lived with me and knew that I had the talent to tell stories.
But suddenly speaking up for telling jokes, I felt a little stupid. Generally speaking, I talk about work first, say it, and talk about something, seduce people first, and then tell a joke. The atmosphere here is not suitable for telling horrible stories. I had a repertoire at that time, telling a story about a geological exploration team making jokes with minority girls in Yunnan. It was very funny. If you want romance, you have romance and burdens, I planned to do this. These soldiers didn’t know how many years have they seen women, and listening to this will definitely divert attention.
I was thinking about how to mention the topic, but at this moment, a series of thunder-like gunshots suddenly came from a distance.
The sound was extremely loud, and we all jumped up all of a sudden. The deputy squad leader was a regular army. He threw the cigarette butt and grabbed the gun and went to the place where the gun was fired. Several other engineers followed closely behind.
We were not as good as theirs. I fell down more than ten meters in an instant. Wang Sichuan was too bulky and soon slid under the stone. His feet stuck in the sack. After pulling them for a few times, he couldn't pull them out and asked me to help.
I had no time to pay attention to him, so I asked Chen Luohu, who was almost crawling behind me to take care of him, so I followed him in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
