Chapter 328: Bravely Entering Death Valley
Seeing Old Li leading his men to Death Valley, the village chief couldn't help but shout, "Old Li, do you want to die? How dare you go in?"
Especially when they saw a little girl following him, they felt that he was courting death!
Sun Hongbing's car had just started and he quickly got out of the car.
Explain it to the villagers.
Old Li waved his hands and said, "Human lives are at stake. Several soldiers have been trapped in the mountains for days. If we don't go, they may die. I, Old Li, am about to die. These soldiers are risking their lives to protect us. We can't just watch them die in there! Zhusheng, take the children back. Even if I, Old Li, die in there, it means I've returned to my roots and haven't left Lijiatun!"
After hearing what he said, the villagers' eyes suddenly turned red, and they looked in the direction he left with expressions of reluctance.
The village chief was the one he referred to as Li Zhusheng. The two of them grew up together, surrounded by urine and mud. The last time he went in, he almost died when he came out. He was scared to death.
After he came out, he refused to say a word about what happened inside. I guess he was scared.
Unexpectedly, when he was old, he brought people in again.
His son beside him couldn't help but say, "Dad, are we really just going to watch Uncle Li die?"
Li Zhusheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed deeply.
Looking at the young men in the village behind him, he said, "Your Uncle Li is a man, the pride of our Lijiatun. He is right. These soldiers risked their lives to protect us, shed blood and made sacrifices. It was not easy for us to have the happy life we have now. Now they are in trouble, we should save them!"
"Erniu, find a few strong young men in the village, bring some supplies, and have them take turns guarding here. If you see your uncle Li and the others coming out, go and help them!"
When the young man named Erniu heard this, he immediately nodded: "Yes!"
After saying that, he went to the village to ask people to prepare things.
However, Sun Hongbing, who had been watching this scene, was deeply moved.
"Uncle, thank you! Thank you!! On behalf of my trapped brothers, thank you. On behalf of all our brothers in the army, thank you......"
Li Zhusheng waved his hands and said, "What are you talking about, kid? We should be the ones thanking you. If it weren't for you protecting our country, we ordinary people wouldn't be able to live the good life we have now! Don't say anything, kid, go and do your work. We will guard this place for you. If they come out, we will notify you right away!"
Sun Hongbing nodded with red eyes.
"good!"
Having said that, without further delay, he turned around and got into the car.
His sister-in-law and Lao Zheng had already gone in, so he had to seize every moment to find a way to clear the road! Time was life now!
They are racing against time!
Song Shiwei, who had already followed Old Li into the Death Valley, also found something wrong. As they walked inside, they felt as if fog had risen, and the originally lush and green forest became hazy.
Old Li quickly squeezed out a water bottle, wet his sleeves, turned his head and said to Song Shiwei and Old Zheng: "Quick, wet your sleeves with water, and then cover your mouth and nose. This is miasma, it's poisonous, and it's easy to make people hallucinate after inhaling it for a long time!"
Song Shiwei and Lao Zheng looked at each other and hurriedly did as they were told.
When she was done, she covered her nose and looked up, only to find that the scene before her was becoming even more bizarre.
In just a short while, the originally thin mist had turned into a vast expanse of white. The visibility was very low and she could not even see Lao Zheng and Lao Li beside her clearly.
Old Li obviously also discovered it.
He shouted, "Don't move, the fog is too heavy. We could easily get separated. If we do, it'll be dangerous! The best solution is for us to hold on to each other!"
As he spoke, he touched a piece of hemp rope wrapped around his waist, untied it and handed it to Song Shiwei.
"Girl, you go in the middle, boy, you go at the end!"
Song Shiwei grabbed the rope as he was told, but Old Zheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard him call him "baby".
A hand grabbed the end of the rope and explained, "Uncle Li, you can just call me Xiao Zheng!"
Song Shiwei also introduced herself: "Uncle Li, my name is Song Shiwei, you can call me Weiwei or Xiao Song!"
Old Li didn't think too much about it. He had to analyze the current situation.
"Okay, Xiao Song, Xiao Zheng!"
The three of them were like grasshoppers tied to a rope, groping forward bit by bit.
The fog was so thick that they dared not walk too fast. If they were not careful, they might be tripped by rocks or tree roots. If there were any sharp objects nearby, it would be fatal.
Fortunately, Old Li had come in once. He found a wooden stick and slowly moved forward in the direction he had walked last time.
All three of them held their breath, holding the hemp rope with one hand and covering their mouths and noses tightly with the other hand, for fear of inhaling the miasma, and walked forward carefully.
Fortunately, the miasma only exists in the direction of the entrance. Following Old Li, as Song Shiwei walked, he felt that the fog in front of him seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.
Shadow seemed to be able to see the grass ahead.
Lao Zheng's eyes were also full of joy.
This shows that they have emerged from the miasma.
Once we got out of the forest, the view in front of us suddenly became clear.
There was a whole new world inside. In front of me was a particularly large lake, surrounded by lush green grass. The grass had grown very tall because no one had been here for years, and some of the weeds were even waist-high.
This canyon is not very deep, but both sides are full of pink and crystal stones. These stones must have been catalyzed by the wind, and some of them are about to fall off layer by layer.
There are a lot of rocks of different sizes falling above, which turn into stone powder over time, so there is a thick layer of pink stone powder below.
Old Li looked at the stones on both sides with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Don't think you will be safe once you get out of the miasma. The stones on both sides are big and will fall from time to time. This road is very long. When you pass through here, you must be careful not to be hit by the stones!"
It was a sunny day when he came last time, and he remembered these stones very clearly because they were so bright in the sun that they were blinding.
Those sparkling things were like small mirrors, reflecting light. In the entire canyon, no one dared to open their eyes for fear of being blinded.
Not only that, but you also have to watch out for rocks falling from overhead, which can kill you if you're not careful.
I guess this is why there is no miasma on this road, mainly because the sunlight is too strong.
This time, the weather was just right, the rain had stopped, and it was cloudy without the sun, but the road was clear enough. I thought as long as I could avoid being hit by the rocks above, it should be fine!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a series of loud noises from the front, "Bang! Bang!", "Bang!", and countless rocks fell off the cliff on the left.
