Chapter 1972 All the way down the mountain

What is it like to walk alone in the dark? The answer is fear.

If there is a glimmer of light in the dark night, everything becomes shadowy, and everything looks like a monster wherever you look.

If there is no glimmer in the dark night, and it is pitch black, then it might be better because all you can see is darkness.

  But if you were walking in pitch darkness and suddenly there was a voice behind you and that voice kept following you, what would that feel like?

Do you want to turn back? You will feel your neck is hard!

  If you look back, what if a ferocious beast comes from behind and bites you with its bloody mouth wide open?

If you look back, what if there is a robber following you, and when you turn back, he hits you with a wooden stick or an iron rod, or even a bricklaying planer used by a construction site? What if you turn back?

Therefore, fear is a person's innate instinct.

But there are exceptions, and this person does not include Big Stupid.

Da Lao Ben was carrying a bundle of ropes on his back and holding a broken lantern in his hand. The lantern contained a kerosene lamp, but the light was not strong, just a dim light similar to that of night.

When he was walking towards the back mountain, he heard a voice behind him.

Da Lao Ben grew up with Li Qingfeng in Wohu Mountain. When he was little, he also loved to play, which was a child's nature.

No one knew how good his monk master was at meditation, but he would meditate every day. He was annoyed by the noise, so sometimes he would throw him among the rocks in the mountains after dark.

All Big Stupid could do at first was to cry and make a fuss, but even after shouting his throat out, the master did not respond. In the end, he could only grope his way out in the pitch black darkness.

After walking out, he naturally continued to make noise to bother his master.

His master threw him among the rocks, and he continued to walk out in the dark, causing trouble for his master, and then he was thrown among the rocks again by his master.

  The final result was that his master's level of meditation had improved to some extent, but he had already gotten used to groping his way through the darkness.

Li Qingfeng once asked him curiously, why can you always get out of it?

Da Laoben answered yes, because the master said, "All dharmas are empty in nature, neither born nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing, so there is no color in the void."

According to Da Laoben's understanding of this passage of scripture, the concept of relativity does not exist, so there is no such thing as dark day and day in this world.

With the training from their Buddhist monk master and Taoist uncle (Li Qingfeng's master), he became more and more aware of his hearing and vision.

Now, when he heard the voice behind him, he just calmly put down the broken lantern in his hand, turned around and said, "Don't follow me, there are traps everywhere."

"Then why don't you wait for me?" Bian Xiaolong's voice came from not far behind.

It turned out that it was Bian Xiaolong who followed!

"Does the battalion commander know?" asked Da Laoben when Bian Xiaolong walked up to him and looked at him with his eyes sparkling in the light of the lantern.

"I asked someone to tell the battalion commander." Bian Xiaolong replied.

Da Laoben said "hmm", then he reached out and took Bian Xiaolong's hand, while Bian Xiaolong took the initiative to pick up the lantern on the ground.

During this process, neither of them said a word, as they were already familiar with each other's tacit understanding.

Da Laoben did not blame Bian Xiaolong for following him secretly, and he did not take military discipline seriously.

Half an hour later, Da Laoben climbed down the mountain along the rope, but he only climbed more than 20 meters and stopped on the mountainside.

  Then he shook the rope regularly, and Bian Xiaolong also climbed down along the rope. When Bian Xiaolong stood beside him, Da Laoben stretched out his hand and shook it hard, and the noose on the rope that he had tied to the stone naturally shook loose, and the rope was retracted.

It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, so this is not something to be rushed.

Before Shang Zhen made the decision to break out, Da Laoben had already checked the terrain here.

He already knew where it was easier to climb, where it was harder to climb, where it was suitable to tie a rope, and where the rope needed to be longer.

This process cannot be fast, and Da Laoben is not in a hurry. He just wants to reach the ground with Bian Xiaolong before midnight.

Just as Da Laoben and Bian Xiaolong were climbing down the northern slope, Shang Zhen, who had just finished a nap, had also climbed down from the southern intersection.

Yes, it’s also climbing.

Big Lao Ben climbed down from the north slope because the mountain was steep and he had to climb down.

Shang Zhen climbed down from the south because there were Japanese troops on both sides of the road below, and he did not dare to make any noise.

If Shang Zhen wanted to break out with these people, he had to at least clear out the Japanese troops on both sides of the mountain road below. As for what to do after he reached the foot of the mountain, that was another matter.

It is impossible for a person to see the path in the dark, and the same is true for Shang Zhen.

However, Shang Zhen naturally had a stupid method to discover the Japanese army. His method was to observe the cracks in the rocks where the Japanese army could hide at daybreak, and then divide the more than 200-meter-long mountain road into several sections. Every few dozen meters, there were several suspicious locations in each section.

But just doing this was not enough to find the Japanese army's hiding place in the dark, so Shang Zhen also used another reference, which was the corpses on the road.

So now his memory is like this: for example, 100 meters below, four puppet soldiers were shot by Japanese machine guns and died together. One meter below those puppet soldiers, there was a rock crevice where a Japanese soldier was hiding.

For example, 150 meters below, there were two dead bodies of Japanese soldiers lying together. Just a few meters behind the two bodies, there was a crack in the rocks where Japanese soldiers had shot at the top of the hill.

The same is true for other situations.

In order to avoid making any noise, Shang Zhen's combat equipment included a Kowloon belt, a box gun, and a bayonet. He didn't even bring a grenade.

Soon, he understood the meaning of "crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood."

  Many Japanese and puppet soldiers died on the mountain road, and a lot of blood was shed. He just crawled like that. If he was crawling over the corpses, he would be very careful not to make any noise. If he was not crawling over the corpses, then the places his hands touched would mostly be covered with sticky blood!

There are many rocks on the mountain road, so the snow cannot completely enter the mountain road.

As long as winter doesn't come, the blood won't freeze.

The feeling of touching the sticky blood was not only making Shang Zhen uncomfortable, but the viscosity of the blood even affected the movements of his hands, so he could only wipe the blood off his hands from time to time on the corpses he passed by.

As the crawling distance became longer, his elbows and knees were covered in blood, and his whole body felt sticky.

  But this kind of unhappiness is not the theme of today. Today's theme is killing the enemy!

Shang Zhen had to try hard to get rid of this feeling and constantly remind himself to focus on the bodies of the Japanese or puppet soldiers he touched.

After he climbed more than 100 meters in the dark and touched the steel helmet on the head of a Japanese soldier, he knew he had to take action.

Because in his impression, there was a Japanese soldier hiding in the rock crevice to the left of the Japanese soldier wearing a helmet.
