Chapter 73 The Cave
In a hurry, Zhao Bankuo subconsciously reached out to grab the side, but missed. His heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but shout out, but he was afraid of the monster lurking at the entrance of the cave, so he could only suppress it.
.
It was so quiet at this time that he had adapted to the darkness. He opened his eyes wide and looked around, trying to find the long hair, but the light was too weak, and he still couldn't see anything for a while.
Zhao Bankuo shook his head, thinking that it was impossible for Mrs. Gong to disappear within a few seconds. He calmed down and felt it again. Soon, a slight gasping sound appeared on his right side.
He suddenly felt relieved and calmed down a little. He thought of the box again, so he gently untied his backpack and took it out, loosened the binding cloth, scooped up some mud with his feet to bury the box, and then tied it tightly.
On the waist. After doing this, I really relaxed a little, and a feeling of fatigue instantly took over my whole body.
He didn't know how big the cave was. Zhao Bankuo slowly sat up straight without touching the roof of the cave. He leaned against the cave wall. It felt like a hard rock wall. His clothes were immediately soaked, and a chill flowed down his back.
Climbed up.
Just because the sight had completely lost its meaning, other senses became more sensitive. There was a moist smell in the air, which was not too strong. Zhao Bankuo thought that this was probably the abandoned nest of some wild beast.
At the same time, he felt something gently rubbing against the right corner of his trousers. He raised his leg and kicked it reflexively, but he hit something soft and at the same time a voice hummed. Only then did Zhao Bankuo realize that it was Ruan Ling.
, she must have been shaking just now, so she was rubbing herself.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking to himself that although Guo Yi was ruthless, she was still a woman, and in a place like this, no matter how ruthless she was, it was of no use.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of movement was heard softly, the left side of his body was pressed tightly, and a soft feeling came from his shoulder.
Zhao Bankuo's heart moved. He stretched out his hand and was quickly caught. Perhaps his calmness infected Ruan Ling, or maybe someone around him made her no longer so afraid. Her hand gradually stopped shaking. But it was still tight.
Close to Zhao Bankuo.
Although there was someone next to him, Zhao Bankuo quickly adapted to this position, because the feeling was not bad. The vigorous running just now was too exhausting, so he relaxed and rested. Shao Mao came closer to him midway.
After a while, I could clearly feel the heat on my right hand side.
Ruan Ling remained motionless, and Zhao Bankuo did not dare to move. Gradually, he felt numbness in half of his body, and the part of his face that had been hit by the vines also started to hurt. While he was suffering, a sudden sound came from two or three meters in front of him.
There was a rustling sound, and Zhao Bankuo immediately became alert. It seemed that the Japanese sergeant and captain were hiding there, and he almost forgot about it.
At the same time, Changmao on the right lowered his voice and said, "Come here."
Zhao Bankuo patted Ruan Ling gently, feeling that she was clicking
Behind his head, he straightened up and gritted his teeth to hold back the pain in his waist. Half-crawling towards Changmao, he heard the clear sound of the gun bolt being pulled over there.
Changmao immediately cursed softly: "What do you want to do, little devil?" Then there was a burst of gun pulls, and Ruan Ling hurriedly shouted: "No!" Another hurried Japanese sentence, obviously expressing the same message to the two sergeants.
meaning.
But how could he listen to her at this time? Zhao Bankuo also picked up the gun and put his finger on the trigger. The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became solemn, and Ruan Ling did not make any more noise. Obviously she knew that any small thing at this time
Stimulation will lead to serious consequences of shooting brazenly.
At this moment, the ground began to shake violently again. This time it was more serious than before. It felt like the whole mountain was shaking. It seemed that the monster had lost its temper, lost pursuit of them, and finally went crazy. There were constant waves of big and small
The stones fell down, and some of them hit Zhao Bankuo directly.
The rumble of rocks flying and trees falling to the ground kept irritating Zhao Bankuo's eardrums, and each hit was as painful as a hit in his heart. He tightened his grip on the gun, and suddenly felt that the air was getting hot, and at the same time he was choked by a burning smell.
When it entered his nose, he suddenly thought of those burnt trees, and his scalp exploded.
He felt a buzzing in his ears and a wave of heat. Zhao Bankuo instinctively fell backwards and immediately pressed on a small body. Remembering that Ruan Ling was behind him, he immediately took a breath and prepared to stand up until he recovered.
Standing, I found that the burning smell had not dissipated, but the temperature had returned to normal.
It seemed that the monster was completely angry, Zhao Bankuo thought. He could feel such a strong heat wave in the cave, and he didn't know what it was like outside.
Ignoring the captain and sergeant, he quickly pulled Ruan Ling into the cave and didn't sit down until he hit the rock wall.
It soon became completely quiet outside. The situation was not as bad as Zhao Bankuo expected, and there was some light in the darkness, so he could turn his head and see a fuzzy figure with long hair. The grass at the entrance of the cave should have been almost burned.
Looking again, I found that the cave seemed to be a natural cave. It was not very wide, just as wide as two or three Ning-style beds put together, but it was very deep. I couldn't see the end at a glance, and I could guess that it was a crack in the mountain. Again.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are traces of shoveling all around, and there is no moss on the cave wall.
Through the light, you can see that everyone's guns have been lowered, and several people are staring at each other. After a while, Changmao gestured to Ruan Ling and asked her to come over. Ruan Ling moved closer to Zhao Bankuo,
He walked outside the cave and remained silent, neither looking at the Japanese nor at them.
The captain opposite looked very bad. He was lying on the ground, unable to move. The sergeant stared at Zhao Bankuo and the others, unable to see his expression clearly. After a stalemate for a while, Changmao opened his backpack, took out a bottle of water, took a sip, and handed it to them.
Zhao Bankuo. Zhao Bankuo
He took a sip and was about to hand it back. After thinking about it, he handed it to Ruan Ling again.
It was just a few quick movements, but Zhao Bankuo felt that the sergeant's eyes stayed on the kettle in his hand for a while. Zhao Bankuo suddenly remembered that the sergeant was empty when he ran out, although it was not empty.
He knew when he picked up a gun, but he never had time to pick up the kettle. Could it be that he was thirsty? Zhao Bankuo suddenly felt a little superior.
After Ruan Ling returned the kettle to Changmao, Zhao Bankuo leaned against the rock wall relaxedly, looking at the dark cave roof, and gradually became distracted. "Are we sitting here waiting to die?" was in his mind.
This thought suddenly crossed my mind, and I gradually became distracted in the silence.
When he was a child, he had a stubborn temper. His sheep were sold by his family, and he had a big fight with his father over this matter. In the end, his father broke two wooden sticks, but he gritted his teeth and did not cry, and hid directly in the abandoned old house.
I didn't hear anyone looking for him in the house, so I stayed there until I was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.
Zhao Bankuo remembered it very clearly. It was very dark that night. Looking out of the leaky window, the sky was frighteningly dark. People in the nearby houses had also turned off their lights and were sleeping. He didn’t know if his family didn’t notice that he was missing at all, or if they didn’t want to at all.
Looking for him. It was really cold that day, and everything was quiet. There were only the howls of unknown animals. Zhao Bankuo was trembling all over because of the cold wind. For the first time, he knew the feeling of loneliness and fear.
For a moment, Zhao Bankuo was in a trance, as if he had just woken up from the darkness, facing the hesitation and helplessness of being forgotten and abandoned. He couldn't help but shivered before realizing where he was now.
It was still quiet inside and outside the cave. Perhaps the tension was too unbearable, and Zhao Bankuo's thoughts drifted away.
Memories are always like this. Once they start, they don't want to stop, and many scattered scenes from their childhood flash through their minds. It was only then that Zhao Bankuo discovered that he had nothing that he remembered deeply since he was a child. He had to
Admit it, how boring the first half of your life was.
Life in my hometown is very hard. Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes have made my parents, who have been busy for most of their lives, live a less than affluent life. Being a soldier has changed my destiny. At least the food in the army is much better than the noodle soup at home.
Without this war, he might just be a man who lives a little different from others, doing small business, and maybe teaching. But he will never be a gunsmith, and he won't be smoking and drinking all day long and rolling around in piles of corpses.
He is a rough guy, let alone having any small acquaintance in Ramgarh.
But what he knows more clearly is that if there had been no war, he would not be staying in this dark cave now, desperately waiting for the unknown tomorrow.
