I ran all the way and saw the flashlights shaking in front of me. As soon as I ran to a place where the fires we ignited could not reach, my speed could not be increased at all. I could only use a flashlight to shine on the road first, and then jumped among the stones.

This is not that easy to jump. People are not kangaroos, and every jump is extremely dangerous. Sometimes, your feet will slide under the stone a little slower. I can only try my best to keep up.

There was still shooting in the distance, and I soon saw the tracer of the bullet. It was about 600 meters away. Pei Qing and the others had not been walking for a long time. Such a distance was considered to be walking fast.

I had no strength after chasing me halfway. Running like this was too exhausting. I stopped and felt my lungs panting. But after a few seconds, I found something was wrong. It was pitch black all around, and the soldiers in front were still running. As I saw that they were getting farther and farther away from me, the scattered sacks and the exposed bones made me feel a little numb, so I could only grit my teeth and continue to follow.

When I ran there, the gunshots had stopped. I saw Pei Qing holding the gun, and the soldier who was missing. The squad leader ran back with another soldier with a pale face. I asked what was going on, but they ignored me and ran straight over me and went back.

I had to climb to Pei Qing and ask him what was going on. Pei Qing looked so naughty that she didn't speak. A soldier next to me explained to me, unable to even speak clearly, and pointed at me and stuttered. It took me a long time to hear it clearly. Someone fell down, and the deputy squad leader and others went back to get the rope.

At this time, I had heard the rumbling sound of water. When I got closer, I found that when I got here, the terrain suddenly broke, and a fault appeared in the river channel. The underground river water pounced down from here, forming a waterfall. But it was not very high, at most more than 20 meters. When the flashlight shone, it was full of stones. I suddenly saw the warrior who set out with Pei Qing stuck between the two stones, his face covered with blood. I didn't know whether it was dead or alive, but obviously he fell down.

My head buzzed. It was already a major accident. I hurriedly asked Pei Qing what was going on. Pei Qing said that they had originally planned to go back when they got here, but he saw that the waterfall was not high. Since he had gotten here, it was not easy, so he wanted to go deeper. The soldier said that the squad leader asked him to protect him. He had to come for such a dangerous thing, so he gave him a gun and climbed down by himself. I don’t know what happened. The soldier had only crawled for less than two steps and suddenly fell down. He immediately asked for help. After calling for help for a long time, we had no response, so we could only fire the gun and notify us.

I have experienced this kind of thing. Falling is the most common dangerous situation faced by geological exploration team members. I quickly asked the two soldiers who did not go back to shout the name of the fallen warrior under the waterfall. If he was still awake, he would not be able to sleep. However, the two soldiers called Zhong Huzi for a long time. They should be a young soldier nicknamed Falling, but they had no reaction at all. My heart sank, and it seemed that there was a lot of danger.

Wang Sichuan and the others arrived more than me, and they were so tired. However, when he heard that someone had fallen down, he was about to go down to save the person, but he was grabbed by me and the soldier.

Finally, I waited anxiously on the side for twenty minutes before I brought the rope. The deputy squad leader hung it down and carried the little soldier on his back. When he came up, his hands were covered with blood. At first, I thought it was from the warrior, but later I found that it was all from the deputy squad leader. The waterfall was wrapped in barbed wire and hidden in the water. I guess the little soldier was because of this.

As soon as I checked, I closed my eyes and had already sacrificed myself. In the end, I had no chance to know the name of the warrior. At that time, we were all speechless, and a few of us squatted down and began to wipe our tears.

Because I was wearing a hard hat, I had never looked at these engineers carefully. Now it seems that this soldier is only nineteen years old at most. He still knows nothing and wants to trample on his youth. At that time, he had no last words, and might have died easily without even savoring love.

The deputy squad leader was a man who had been on the battlefield. At this time, he was just smoking. Several other soldiers cried. Wang Sichuan also cried and grabbed Pei Qing and said that this was still a kid. How could you let him do such a dangerous thing? Pei Qing didn't say anything and didn't resist, but his face looked very bad. I wanted to persuade the soldiers, but the deputy squad leader stopped me and told them to cry for twenty minutes, only twenty minutes.

This incident has hit me a big blow. In the past, we have been very clear about the dangers of exploration activities. Although we all seem to be relaxed, we are very alert on key issues. Unfortunately, our long-term habits have made us accustomed to managing ourselves well, and have never thought of others. This time we did not expect that those engineers have no experience in geological exploration. In addition to physical fitness, these little soldiers have other qualities like ordinary people. It can be said that our negligence killed this little soldier.

This feeling is very uncomfortable because this is the fact and I can't escape it. I thought if I brought him here, would I remind him of anything? I'm afraid I won't. We are both very good at professionalism, but in other aspects, we are really lazy, and it's no wonder Pei Qing. I feel extremely guilty when I think about it.

That night, we carried the body back to the camp and put a sleeping bag for him. The body could not be transported back, but the task had to be completed and we had to deal with it when we came back. The deputy squad leader asked us to rest early, but how can we be calm and everyone could not sleep all night.

The next day, it didn't matter whether it was morning or evening. We each got up, packed up and gave the little warrior's body, and then continued to move forward.

In 1962, the country was more important than anything else. At that time, we never had the idea of ​​going back and resting and came back again. We just wanted to complete the task. If modern exploration tasks encountered such a situation, they would have been cancelled.

We had lunch under the waterfall. The number of body bags here was very small. The stones behind were relatively small and the spacing was dense, making it easier to walk. At that time, Wang Sichuan proposed to explore the way, but we stopped him. For no other reason, it felt inappropriate.
