Part 5 The Tomb of the Yellow Skin Chapter 17 The Hundred Eyes Cave (II)


The herdsmen on the grasslands regard eating roasted rat meat as a common meal, but in the Xing'an Mountains, many people never eat rat meat.

Before liberation, people who were looking for gold veins and gold mines in the mountainous areas were forbidden to eat rat meat.

I once heard my grandfather say that the craftsmen who fight against each other do not eat rats, but call them "daughter-in-law" because they eat them all day long.

What they do for a living is the activity of moving soil and digging holes.

They are no different from mice and belong to the same industry.

Moreover, mice are also members of the "Hui" family, one of the five families of "Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu and Hui".

They follow Tudongzi every day.

When dealing with rats, you must not offend rats, otherwise you may be buried alive in a robber's hole if you are not careful.

At that time, I never thought about robbing tombs, and I didn't care about eating the meat of "big-eyed thieves".

Ding Sitian didn't really believe that yellow skins, long worms, foxes, hedgehogs and mice were immortals, but she I firmly believe that the law of heaven is forgiving, and you should not do anything too extreme, such as eating rats.

In Ding Sitian's hometown, there was a famine before liberation.

There were many rats in the area.

Although there was no food, there were no shortage of rats at all.

Everyone In order to survive, they caught rats and ate them.

Unexpectedly, they ate hundreds of thousands of rats and finally survived the famine.

However, the locals had developed the habit of eating rat meat.

They still caught rats to eat when there was food, and it was Every household ate it, and everyone ate it.

As a result, the plague suddenly broke out one year, and countless people died.

After the epidemic, in some villages, only two vegetarians were left alive. people.

The fat man said: "What is this called God's grace?

I think rats are one of the four pests.

If they are eliminated, there will be no plague.

But have you heard of it?

Some people say that there are more rats in the world than people.

It seems...

After wiping out the imperial revisionist rebels, we will start to exterminate the rats."

As he spoke, he suddenly picked up the hunting rifle, turned the gun butt downward, and went to kill a big rat that was peering into a nearby rat hole.

Eye thief.

The big-eyed thief was so disturbed by the aroma of fish soup and roasted rat meat that he poked his head in the rat hole, looking for an opportunity to crawl out and steal some fish to eat.

Suddenly he saw someone hitting him with a stick, so he quickly retreated back.

The fat man had just eaten and wanted to take the opportunity to dodge.

Eat, this time with full force, he slammed the butt of the gun hard on the ground.

Unexpectedly, it did not hit the big-eyed thief, but instead smashed a large piece of the soil layer on the ground.

The soil crust here is very brittle, and underneath There was another hole, which was dug in with the butt of a rifle.

The reason why this forest is called "Hundred Eyes Cave" may be that there are many caves or caves underground.

However, the natural environment and changes in water and soil over the years have caused the fallen leaves and grass to cover these caves and form a layer of earth crust.

So now it seems , it was difficult to find any burrow directly, and the earth crust was riddled with holes by big-eyed thieves who dug for earthworms and ate them, so it was not surprising that the fat man collapsed when he hit it with the butt of his gun.

But none of us expected this to happen at that time.

A large piece of grass collapsed from the earth crust, which was really unexpected.

What was even more surprising was that the exposed big hole was filled with rats.

The fat man raised his hand and pointed. : "Oh my grandma, why are there so many big mice?"

When I looked along his hand, my whole body was shocked, and my scalp was numb.

The hole was filled with the roots of trees and mud.

There was actually a huge "rat mountain" in it, with countless big eyes stealing from you.

I was crowded together on the ground, and the rats squirmed and piled on top of each other, The pile is as tall as a person, and there are not only big-eyed thieves.

There are gray rats, prairie dogs, and many fat wild rats of unknown species scurrying around everywhere.

A large area of ​​Wuyang Wuyang, this huge The mouse hole is unimaginably big.

Disturbed by the collapse of the cave entrance, the rats swarmed out like a tidal wave that burst the embankment.

Because there were so many, they immediately extinguished the fire we lit.

Fatty, Ding Sitian, and I hurriedly swung the fire.

He wielded his knife and stick to drive away the numerous giant rats that rushed towards him.

Once these giant rats were driven away, they became even more chaotic.

Camp, squeaking and scurrying around in the forest.

One of the natural enemies of wild rats is centipedes, and night is the time when centipedes are looking for food.

Attracted by the wild rats, they can only be seen crawling through the cracks in stones and grass burrows.

Large yellow-green centipedes emerged from the trees and bushes and burrowed into the fleeing wild rats to devour them.

The originally deathly silent forest became a mess.

In the chaos, they encountered many natural enemies.

The wild rats didn't know which way to escape for a moment.

They bumped east and west and circled in the forest.

Centipedes appear in all directions.

The common centipedes seen by herdsmen on the grassland are only about twenty centimeters, and those nearly one meter are common.

It is very rare, but we found that there were giant centipedes more than two meters long around us.

The centipedes with spots on their bodies are more poisonous than venomous snakes.

If we follow the group of rats and rush outside in this situation, , will definitely be bitten by the poisonous jaws of the centipede, and the bite will be fatal, because there will be no time to rescue, and the poison will kill you.

It is really horrifying to think of the tragic situation of Ding Sitian's bay-red horse being bitten to death by a centipede.

If there were a few mounts at this time, we could still gamble our luck and risk riding out, but there was only one old horse beside us.

The horse was also frightened now.

Its reins were tied to the tree, and it struggled to free itself while neighing.

It had to keep raising its pout and kicking away the rats and centipedes that approached it in the chaos.

I grabbed the kerosene gas lamp on the ground, called Fatty and Ding Sitian to hold the unconscious old sheepskin, and fled into the mouse hole exposed by the collapse of a large hole.

By this time, most of the rats had jumped out.

Compared with the huge rat cave, which was a mess of hissing and devouring animals in the forest, this dirty and smelly cave was the only place to retreat.

Fatty and Ding Sitian immediately Understanding what I meant, the two of them half dragged and half held the old sheepskin with its belly up into the rat hole.

I waved the "Kangxi Sword" and cut off the reins of the old army horse, freeing the old horse. , hissing loudly, but it did not immediately rush out of the encirclement, but circled around the rat hole, refusing to sacrifice its owner to escape.

I pointed my knife at it outside the forest and said, "Escape by yourself."

The old horse seemed to be really smart, as if it realized that it couldn't get into the rat hole due to its height, and saw its owners going in to avoid danger, so it snorted, turned back and rushed out of the forest.

When I saw the horse running away, I immediately got into the rat hole.

As soon as I entered, a fishy smell filled my nostrils.

I quickly covered my nose with my sleeves.

The rat burrow is deep inside, with damp and narrow sides on both sides.

It looks like a man-made underground tunnel.

When we shine a light on it, we can see that there is no end to the dark hole in the depths.

There are still some rats, big and small, that have not escaped in the hole.

From time to time, they come from under our feet.

Climbing up and down, my ears Listening to the sounds of centipedes gnawing and swimming away, and the miserable howling of wild rats at the entrance of the cave, I thought to myself that this time I had really entered the "Hundred Eyes Cave".

The knife pointed to the depths of the cave and pointed at Fatty Zi and Ding Sitian said: "Switching to guerrilla warfare is the magic weapon for our army to defeat the enemy.

We should look for opportunities to turn defeat into victory in roundabout movements and large-scale retreats.

Now we retreat inside first, and be careful where we step."

Those three of us back then young people, We boldly broke into a restricted area with a sense of "leftover courage".

At first, we were a little nervous and uneasy, and we didn't think much about anything else.

But at that time, none of us expected that at the end of this rat den, there was a huge A nightmare awaits us
