In the next few days, Professor Ye Rongguang and Professor Wen from the Department of Archeology made detailed adjustments to the joint archaeological inspection plan.
Among them, further in-depth excavation and dredging of ancient wells, a comprehensive investigation of the hydrogeology and source flow direction of underground rivers, and the selection and deployment of divers, large-scale oxygen supply equipment, hoisting equipment and professional exploration technicians were re-added. Afterwards, the two professors took the plan back to Jinmen City to report in person.
During the few days of waiting, Ye Qianqian proposed that he wanted Wang Ke to accompany him to the mountains to take a look and wander around. From a biological perspective, I would like to take a moment to investigate the natural creatures in the Xishan area.
Wang Ke thought for a while, why not go climbing Langya Mountain together.
"Okay, okay!" Wang Ke's suggestion immediately received a response from Ye Pianqian.
The next day, at dawn, Wang Ke got up and woke up Ye Pianpian. He filled all the six people's water bottles with cold water, and then carried them all on his back, three on the left and three on the right. Then he took a few steamed buns and a few ham sausages and wrapped them in newspapers. He took the flashlight Wu Xiangyu gave him and put it into his satchel together. At the same time, he tied his military dagger to his leg.
Seeing this, Ye Xianqiang was really puzzled. It's not like we were visiting relatives. Why are you carrying so much water and steamed buns?
Wang Ke smiled and didn't explain much. He said, "You will know it by then, and I won't let you carry it."
At Wang Ke's insistence, Ye changed into travel shoes. After leaving the door, Ye happened to see Langya Mountain right in front of him. But after walking for seven or eight miles, we still didn't reach the foot of the mountain.
"Looking at the mountain, the horse will die. Let's walk another four or five miles and we should reach the foot of the mountain." Wang Ke comforted her.
In order to take a shortcut, the two of them did not follow the mountain road, but cut straight through the field. The shoes I walked in were filled with soil after a while. Ye Qianqian was so angry that he shouted: "Wang Ke, wait for me! You hold my hand, or will you pay for it if I fall?!"
Wang Ke said: "Look at me, I carry so many things on my body, but I don't twist around like you, the eldest lady."
Not to mention that water was okay, but when it came to water, Ye Xianqian screamed: "Give me a pot of water quickly, I'm dying of thirst."
"I'm dying of thirst, but I won't give you a drink. We haven't even gone up the mountain yet. What if we run out of water?"
"No, there's smoke coming out of my throat. You must give me water." Ye started to scream.
"Okay, Miss, you are only allowed to take a sip!" Wang Ke couldn't resist her and handed over a kettle. There was a scene in front of him. Under the dusk of the setting sun, Ye was so thirsty that he was unwilling to take a step. She actually picked a handful of wild vegetables on the roadside and chewed them in her mouth. As a result, she bit her tongue and blood flowed down the corner of her mouth. She started crying at that time.
"No, I'll take a few sips." Ye Xian took the kettle and took several sips. Wang Ke was shocked when he saw it. He didn't want the phenomenon in the scene to happen again, so he snatched the kettle from her hand.
"You really can't drink now. If you insist on drinking, we won't climb this Langya Mountain."
Ye Qianqian didn't know that Wang Ke had this ability to sense the future, but seeing that he was serious about what he said, he stopped making trouble. Follow Wang Ke and continue walking forward.
Langya is named because the peaks are shaped like sharp wolf teeth. There are many strange peaks here, and the main peak, Lotus Petal, is more than 1,100 meters above sea level.
Before reaching the foot of the mountain, you can see the lush greenery halfway up the mountain. There are towering ancient trees and green mountains. From time to time, you can hear the chirping of birds coming from the woods, one after another, like a beautiful symphony.
Ye Xian suddenly became excited and jumped up to the path up the mountain.
The paths in the mountains are winding and shaded.
Ye Qianqian's face was flushed at this time and he was dripping with sweat. When I walked onto the tree-lined avenue, I felt cool all of a sudden. She was overjoyed and praised: "This place is truly a paradise on earth."
There are wild flowers blooming on the roadside, and spring water drips down from the cliff from time to time. Looking up again, the mountain road is like a ribbon running through the forest, and the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist.
"Brother Bing, let's race to see who can run faster!" During the past few days of archaeological inspections, she had never dared to act recklessly in front of her father. At this time, my mood was free and I returned to the liveliness I had when driving a heavy truck.
"Stop running away. Let me tell you the story of Langya Mountain!"
Wang Ke was carrying six water bottles and a bag of dry food on his back. At this moment, looking at the excited Ye Qianqiang, he only wanted to calm her down to maintain her strength.
"Okay, Brother Bing, you are telling the story of Lao Balu, right?"
"Yes, it was in the textbook when you were in school, but we are on Langya Mountain now, and the story I told is different from the feeling in your textbook."
"Well, I know, tell me quickly, tell me quickly." Ye Pianchan ran over and took Wang Ke on his arm, and the two of them walked forward on the mountain road.
"This is the autumn of August 1941, which is about the same season as we are now. The Japanese army was raiding our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area and besieging the Langya Mountain area. At that time, one of our troops was ordered to cover the transfer of the masses and the main force in this area. , there were five soldiers from the seventh company and the sixth squadron who were fighting and retreating, leading the Japanese army to the dead end at the top of the chessboard hump of Langya Mountain. These five soldiers bravely blocked the fight. In the end, they ran out of bullets and smashed all the stones around them. Facing the Japanese troops approaching step by step, he would rather die than be captured and jump off the cliff without hesitation." When Wang Ke said this, he was very emotional, and a kind of revolutionary heroism emerged spontaneously.
"Brother Bing, what you said is really good, better than what our Chinese teacher said."
At this time, the road became narrower and narrower, and there was no room for two people to walk side by side. Ye Xian started clamoring for water again. Wang Ke looked behind him and saw that he hadn't really gone up the mountain yet, but there was already an empty pot behind him. Girls are more delicate, so just drink. At worst, you can save your three pots.
"Wang Ke, please take a few sips." Wang Ke took the water bottle that Ye returned, and took a symbolic sip to moisten his dry throat that was about to smoke.
The two of them climbed up, one behind the other. After passing Cangujing, you will soon reach Dangtuo.
Suddenly, the road was cut off. In front of them, a stone pillar about six to seven meters high and less than two meters tall stood out of thin air, blocking the way up the mountain. There are several stone nests dug into this pillar, obviously to make it easier for pedestrians to climb up from here.
"How are you doing? Can you crawl?" Wang Ke looked in both directions. He had no choice but to take this route, so he asked Ye Qianpian.
"Climb, why don't you crawl. Brother Bing, but I'm a little scared!"
"Then you crawl first, and I will protect you from behind."
"Okay!" Ye Xianzhan gritted his teeth and climbed up.
After climbing more than four meters, my legs were trembling and I didn't dare to climb up anymore. At this time, Wang Ke, who was following her, was at her feet. He stretched his legs down and stepped on Wang Ke's head.
"Come on, I'll hold you up." Wang Ke used his hands and feet to climb up a few steps, and then used his hands to support a soft part of Ye Zhan. where? It seems to be on the butt. Like a hero holding a dynamite bag.
As soon as Ye Qianqian stabilized his body, he sat down and wanted to rest his strength.
"Don't sit down, that's my hand, hold it steady. Lean over, change your hand, and continue!" Wang Ke shouted anxiously below.
Ye Qianqian looked down and immediately wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he could only continue to climb up.
Finally, they came up and sat side by side on the stone pillar. The mountain wind blows, and when you look down, you will see that this stone pillar goes straight up and down, and there is a steep slope below, which is winding and winding. It is really dazzling. Ye Xianxian stuck out his tongue, congratulating himself on his bravery. If you climb down from here again, you won't dare to die.
In the distance, you can vaguely see the mountains full of autumn leaves, red, white, green, and yellow, and the mountains and mountains form a colorful picture. At this time, even though we were only halfway up the mountain, we already felt like we were flying in the clouds and in the mist.
I think back then, if those old Eighth Route Army soldiers had a good rifle, as long as they guarded this place, no amount of Japanese soldiers would be able to get in.
The mountain road above is not too difficult to walk, but it stretches downwards along the mountain road.
After turning a corner, the road up the mountain begins again. There are fewer and fewer vines, and there are not as many birds as at the foot of the mountain. Only pine trees and some jujube thorns remain. Suddenly, Ye Xianqian screamed happily. She saw an unknown bird that could not fly, dragging its long colorful tail and running quickly in the grass in front of it.
"Quick, quick, Brother Bing, Wang Ke, chase it quickly, let's catch it!" This is a rare mountain rail.
The bird was a little bigger than a magpie, with speckled feathers on its body and no tail wings. It was really beautiful.
Wang Ke rushed forward and chased for more than 40 meters. The bird was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that it could no longer run. It plunged into the grass and disappeared.
Wang Ke also dove into the grass and dug around in the grass. "Come on, it can't run anymore, it must be here."
At this time, Ye Xianzhang picked up a stick on the side of the road and ran over. The two of them were pulling back and forth in the grass that was half a person tall.
Suddenly, I found a small hole about half a foot above the ground. This hole was seventy or eighty centimeters high. You could get in by leaning sideways.
"I must have gotten into this hole." Ye Xianxuan looked at the hole in the mountain and became even more excited. Many novels are written like this. There are either treasures or secrets in the cave.
Now on the mountainside of Langya Mountain, such a cave can be found. At least there is an Alpine Crake inside.
"Can you get in?" After saying that, she turned to get in.
"Wait a minute, let me come first." Wang Ke took out the flashlight from his backpack, carried the tree stick, and walked sideways into the cave. When I went in and took a look, it was really quite big inside. But as we walked deeper and deeper, under the flashlight light, everything around us glowed with a faint red light. What happened?
"Brother Bing, can I come in?"
"come in!"
Ye Xianxi quickly got in sideways, took a few steps forward, and approached Wang Ke. She was stunned when she saw it.
"Brother Bing, have we come to a fairyland? Why is it red in here?"
The two people walked towards the reddest place. Under the reflection of the light, the stone was crystal clear, and the innermost part was shining like chicken blood, and it refracted colorful colors. Hanging there like an egg.
If it hadn't been for this Alpine Crake, no one would have discovered this cave in hundreds of years. Wang Ke turned around and pulled out the military dagger from his leg, but he couldn't do it. Then he took out a kettle filled with water from behind and smashed it at the root of the stone. Finally, a stone the size of an egg was smashed, and a big crater was made in the kettle.
Wang Ke put this crystal clear stone with bright red light like chicken blood inside into his pants pocket. The two of them walked inside again, and it became bigger and bigger, and it turned out to be like a palace. He raised his head and looked upward. It winds and goes straight to the top of the mountain. That Alpine Crake had already gone and hid somewhere.
"Brother Bing, let's go out, there might be scary creatures inside!"
"Well, let's go out."
After the two came out, Wang Ke moved the grass and blocked the entrance of the cave. Then he made a mark on the side with a military dagger, and then the two continued to climb up the mountain.
