Everyone hadn't entered the rice for several days, and their chests were already hungry and they pressed their backs against their backs. But it was late winter, and the beasts were scattered and the birds were gone. What food was there? Only the pool of green water in front of them reflected a strange light in the afterglow of the evening!

The three of them drank too much water and felt more hungry. Niu Jianjun volunteered to see what food was around. Guo Jiefang couldn't stand it anymore, so he wanted to go with Niu Jianjun. The three of them discussed that Li Yuanchao stayed to collect firewood, and Guo Jiefang and Niu Jianjun went to find food.

The two left Li Yuanchao and walked forward along the waterside. They looked out and saw the pool water under their feet, which was so clear that they could not see the bottom at first sight, and they didn't know how deep the pool water was. The dark shadows were swimming in the water. When they looked closely, they found that there were several fat carp swimming around in the water!

Niu Jianjun pointed to the black shadow and shouted happily: "There are fish in the water!"

Guo Jiefang said coldly: "It's useless to have fish. You don't even look at the climate now? In such a cold day, do you dare to go into the water to catch it?"

Fatty Niu thought to himself, Lao Guo was right, this man was trembling all over when he was on the shore, let alone going into the water to catch fish!

The two of them walked along the way and never found anything to eat anymore. There was no way, Guo Jiefang and Niu Jianjun had to dig some bark and grass roots. After eating some, the two of them took the rest back.

The three of them found a place where the wind was, and set up a bonfire. The three of them sat around the fire, feeling their chests warm and their backs were cold. They sat in a daze all night, and finally it was dawn, and strong winds broke out again, and snowflakes floated in the sky!

The snowflakes fell into the pond, silently. Guo Jiefang stood up, stomped his frozen feet, and covered his hands on his mouth and exclaimed!

The rolling splashes were still gushing upwards for a moment. Several broken coffins were washed to the shore by water. The water waves pushed them rhythmically, gently hitting the rock walls, making a monotonous and dull sound! Under the morning light, the red painted painted on the coffin fragments was swollen by the water, and the gorgeous colors seemed even more shocking!

The underground river obviously did not rush out Liu Lili and Lao Liang'er. Guo Jiefang called everyone up. Fatty Niu said that he could not wait here anymore and had to transport Lao Huang out of the mountains as soon as possible, otherwise Lao Huang's life might not be saved!

The three of them identified the direction, carried Huang Yaju, and walked over mountains and rivers. They were hungry and chewed some bark, and thirsty. They drank some snow water. They struggled for two days and two nights, and finally touched the Sancha River.

The water of Sancha River was frozen at this time. The three of them came to the river surface, just like a lost wild dog suddenly smelling the owner's smell, and their morale rose sharply!

The three of them tried their best and finally dragged Huang Yaju back to the base they had been thinking about day and night. At this time, they were ragged, their hands and feet were cracked, and their bodies were covered with large areas of frostbite. They were so weak that they couldn't even say a complete sentence!

The resident leader quickly called the battalion department to report and arranged for a sled to take them to a nearby hospital.

Guo Jie was in the hospital for two days and two nights before he woke up. After inquiring, Niu Jianjun and Li Yuanchao were also awake, so he asked the nurse, how was Huang Yaju? The nurse told him that Huang Yaju finally saved his life after the hospital's full rescue efforts, but due to his serious injuries, he was not able to wake up yet!

Guo Jiefang was happy. He was worried that Huang Yaju could not be saved. After hearing what the nurse said, his heart was finally let go! A few days later, an investigation team sent by the army came. After inquiring about the situation of the Niutou Mountain underground fortress in detail, they took a serious record, and then seriously warned Guo Jiefang that the specific situation of the Niutou Mountain Fortress was a military secret and must not be circulated without approval!

Guo Jiefang noticed that the door of the ward was laid with double ridges, and all idle people were blocked outside the door. Later he heard that the underground fortress had been found by the military and was re-enclosed. There have been various rumors in the specific situation. Guo Jiefang thought that one of the more reliable statements was that the senior management began to use the special geographical location of the Niutou Mountain Fortress to use it as a bridgehead to resist the Soviet Union. However, when they found the entrance to the fortress, they sent several investigation teams in succession, and the team members disappeared silently. The senior management realized the seriousness of the problem and finally ordered the closure of the Niutou Mountain Fortress! But Guo Jiefang had always had a knot that could not be untied. That is, where did Liu Lili and Lao Liang'er go? Are they still alive? Did they find the gem that fell into the underground river?

After Guo Jiefang, Niu Jianjun and Li Yuanchao recovered, they immediately returned to the company's headquarters. On the way back to the company, they found a grave for Maruyama's wife. The grave was backed by the mountains, and the front was a wide and vast Sancha River! Guo Jiefang looked at the place they selected with satisfaction, and told Fatty Niu and Glasses that this place was good and fully met Maruyama's requirements. Look at the terrain here again. The so-called front and back are under the back, which is such a Feng Shui treasure land! So the three of them buried Maruyama's wife's ashes in this place. After burying the ashes, they transplanted a tree nearby as a mark of the grave. Then they bowed a few times to the grave. Just when they turned around and were about to leave, they suddenly saw a whirlwind whirlwind on the grave, rolling the new soil on the grave into the sky!

After returning to the company, they felt strange that the entire company did not inquire about their experience in the underground fortress, and even showed indifference to the disappearances of Liu Lili, Lao Liangtouer, Hu Zi Company Commander and others, as if these people had never existed at all! Since Guo Jiefang, Niu Jianjun, and Li Yuanchao were strictly required by the military to keep it confidential, they were so happy that no one asked them!

However, every time when it is late at night, Guo Jiefang can always dream of that weird underground fortress. Liu Lili, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, and the bearded company commander walking in the fortress are all so vivid, as if they have never died and are still with him!

A few months after returning to the company, they were sent to a farm far from the company's base. This farm is the most remote among the several farms in the company. It is close to Sancha River and is more than fifty kilometers in a straight line from the company's base. It takes two days to walk back and forth! What's worse is that there is only one old man guarding the farm now, and he heard that he will retire soon. Apart from a small natural village near the farm, there are no more people. There is a vast forest sea around it. This is no less than a full-scale army for the energetic three people! At the same time, Huang Yaju's condition also touched the heartstrings of the three people. She has been lying in the hospital for several months, and everyone has visited her several times. They are all worried about Lao Huang's condition, for fear that when he opens his eyes one day, Lao Huang will leave like this!

The three of them unwillingly packed their luggage, tied them up and carried them on their backs, and walked to the farm. The farm was even more dilapidated than they thought. It was located on a river stall, with only a few thatched houses standing in the crop fields. It belonged to hilly river valleys, so the farm did not reclaim a lot of land, and only a few farmlands were opened among the river bank forests!

The old man guarding the farm was already very old, with wrinkles and gullies on his face, just like cracked land. Few people came from the mountains. Before Guo Jiefang and his friends could turn to the foot of the mountain, the old man had already welcomed the farm!

The old man walked over quickly and held the hands of the three of them one by one. His hands were rough and hard, as if they were a piece of sandpaper. The old man said happily: "I look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I look forward to you!"

Niu Jianjun asked the old man, "You are Lao Zhang, how long have you been here?"

Lao Zhang opened his ears and asked, "Ah? What did you say? I'm on my back, do you say it again?"

Li Yuanchao then lay on Lao Zhang's shoulder and shouted loudly: "He is asking you, how many years have you been here?"

Lao Zhang finally heard it clearly. He grinned and said, "I have been here for almost ten years. If you hadn't changed me, my old bone would have been buried here!"

Fatty Niu was shocked when he heard Lao Zhang say this and said, "Hey, Lao Zhang, are you leaving now? What's the matter if you throw the three of us here?"

Old Zhang hunched his back and blinked his eyes and said, "I am old, and the organization has arranged for me to go home. Don't you know this?"

Fatty Niu rolled his eyes and asked, "But what should we do when you leave? What exactly should we do in such a large farm?"

Lao Zhang smiled and said, "There is nothing to do now. You just need to watch the crops and don't let the beasts on the mountain ruin it. Even if you have completed the mission!"

Li Yuanchao asked again: "But, what should we do when we have a meal?"

Old Zhang smiled and said, "Eat! This is easy to deal with..."

He limped and led the three of them into the dark thatched house, pointed to the dark corner of the room and said, "The stove is here, you can cook here if you want to cook. If you want to eat vegetables, there are vegetables I grow in the garden. I think those vegetables will be enough for you to eat for a while!"

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he waved to Guo Jiefang and the others and said, "Let's go, let's take a look at the production materials on the farm. Although there are not many things, they are all the property of the public and cannot be careless!"

The three of them followed Lao Zhang and counted the items. Li Yuanchao seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Lao Zhang, "Lao Zhang, is it difficult to survive the winter here?"

Old Zhang was holding his ears, and Li Yuanchao asked several times before he heard it clearly. Old Zhang nodded and said, "Don't look at the fact that this place is only a hundred miles away from Lianmen, but the winter here is too difficult. I advise you to be prepared for winter before the beginning of winter. You should ask how cold it is in winter?" Old Zhang sighed heavily and continued, "Tell you so much that you have to carry a stick when you go out to pee at night, for fear that you will be frozen by accident!"

Lao Zhang shook his gray head and said to himself: "How can you kids come? How can they survive the bitterness in the mountains?"

Fatty Niu poked Guo Jiefang from behind and whispered: "Old Guo, why do I think we have been plotted against? Otherwise, why did they send all our buddies to this ghost place?"

Old Zhang seemed to remember something again, turned to them and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, if there is nothing to do, don't go into the mountain..."

Li Yuanchao asked curiously: "Why can't you enter the mountain? Is there a tiger in the mountain?"

Lao Zhang curled his lips, a mysterious expression appeared on his face, and lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, it seems that there are always some strange people in the mountains... Especially in winter, you will understand after staying here for a while!"
