The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 96
Next, we chatted with the old man.

Slowly, the fat man and I felt more and more unbelievable. The fat man said mysteriously that he was a high-ranking official sent by the government, but the old man was extremely at a loss.We asked a few more questions, only to find that the old man's thoughts were still stuck in the period of the Anti-Japanese War.

He even thought that China is still beating little Japanese devils!

Fatty and I looked at each other, both a little funny, this place is like a peach blossom garden, completely isolated from the world.It is estimated that it is difficult to see a foreigner in this village for several years, otherwise this old man would not even have the most basic common sense.

"Shh."

The fat man suddenly looked mysterious, and then patted his arm at the old man.

Seeing that the old man was a little dazed, he wrote down the word 'eight roads' on the table again.

"You are..." The old man suddenly became agitated, seeing the fat man's expression immediately changed.

"Fellows, we killed many Japanese devils along the way, and finally came to liberate you!" The fat man showed a simple and honest smile, and held the old man's hand affectionately, like a family of soldiers and civilians.

The fat man went on to say that the Eighth Route Army sent him to Dawang Village this time to carry out a secret mission, which required the active cooperation of the villagers.After the old man heard it, he was so excited that he cried. It is estimated that if the fat man asked him to block the gun, he would do it without hesitation.

"My fellow, the organization asked me to ask you, where is the waterway?" the fat man frowned and said.

"Sir, this waterway is invisible to ordinary people, and it connects with the Yellow River." The old man answered everything knowingly.

"Yellow River!"

Fatty and I were immediately excited. If this waterway is really connected to the Yellow River, then it must be where the dragon's tail is.

"Nonsense, how could the waterway be invisible? Did you collude with the little Japanese devils and become a traitor?"

The fat man slapped the table with a sullen face, which shocked the old man.

The old man hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, chief, this waterway is really invisible, and the river god is sleeping in it."

"Hey, you old man is very eloquent! You can't see the waterway, so is it still transparent? If you don't tell me the truth, believe it or not, I will shoot you on behalf of the people."

The fat man straightened his stomach and made a gesture of drawing a gun, which almost didn't make me laugh.

"Chief, please don't talk nonsense. If I were a traitor, I would be killed by a flash of lightning without your doing anything. It's really an invisible waterway. If Chief doesn't believe it, I'll take you to see it."

The old man waved his hands again and again, very depressed at the fat man's behavior of buttoning his hat indiscriminately.

"Okay, lead the way."

The fat man raised his head a little bit, and said with a dignified expression.

The old man was immersed in the majesty of the fat man, and he didn't dare to neglect him at all. He opened the door and walked out without even putting on his coat.

I picked up the old man's coat and followed. Seeing that the fat man was still pretending, I couldn't help kicking this guy's ass.

Ma Rulong and others at the door were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect this matter to be solved so easily.

"Not bad, Uncle Fatty."

Catherine came over and was about to pat the fat man on the shoulder. The fat man trembled violently, and almost collapsed to the ground without being frightened.

This girl was merciless just now, and her skills were quite agile, even if the fat man could resist, she would not dare to resist.Maybe when this little girl got angry, she really tied him to a big tree and bombarded him with a bazooka.

We followed the old man to an ancient well full of weeds. The old man turned his head and said to the fat man:
"Chief, the Yellow River is right below."

"What, you fucking told me that the Yellow River is in a well?"

When the fat man saw the seriousness of the old man's face, as if he was fooling a fool, he immediately became furious.

"Hey, Chief, you will know when you go down, otherwise why is it called the invisible river..."

The old man explained with a sad face.

After that, he took the lead in carrying the kerosene lamp and climbed down the ladder at the wellhead.We were completely baffled by the old man. Is there really something strange in this ancient well?
"Go down first and see what's going on."

Ma Rulong was also a little confused, he waved at me and the fat man.

"Is this old man trying to get rich and kill himself?" The fat man felt a little hairy at the moment. He took a flashlight to shine a light on it, only to find that the well was empty and the old man had disappeared.

"Chief, come down quickly! There are two boats here, just enough for you to take a look."

The old man suddenly revealed half of his face from the bottom of the well.

"There really is a waterway down here!" I was dumbfounded, and I didn't know what to say.

Under a small well, there is actually a waterway that can be used by boats. No wonder we searched Dawang Village for a radius of 1000 meters before, but there was no trace of the lake’s flowing water. It turned out that the water was hidden in the well.

The fat man and I climbed down the iron ladder and found a hole dug horizontally at the bottom of the well, just enough for people to pass through.After we drilled in, we found that there was a two-meter-wide waterway in the hole.

There were two boats tied to the water, and the old man was already sitting on the bow with a kerosene lamp. The dim light shone toward the end. This should be a meandering river.

"Did the chief see it? I didn't lie to you, did I? This is He Shendao. Don't say I'm collaborating with the enemy. What I hate most is the traitor..." Seeing that the fat man was about to board the boat, the old man hurried over to help him.

"Well, if you're honest, does this river flow to the Yellow River?" The fat man got out of the hole with difficulty, and then stepped on the boat all at once.

The boat staggered for a while and almost didn't turn over. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and jumped to the other side to maintain my balance.

"No, it's a little further to reach the Yellow River. This river god's way was specially opened by the river god to protect Dawang Village." The old man and the fat man explained carefully.

"Ding Dong, do you fucking understand what it means?"

The fat man was inexplicable.

"I don't have two more ears." I said angrily.

When we were talking, Ma Rulong and the others also came down, and they were also very surprised to see the scene at the bottom of the well.

"This passage, why is it a bit like a tunnel dug during the war?"

Wang Yuanchao said.

At that time, in order to deal with the raids of the Japanese devils, many villages began to dig tunnels to avoid the slaughter of the Japanese devils.

The entrance of the tunnel is usually set in a relatively hidden place, either under the kang, or under the well.

This well looks like it was dug during the authentic war.

"No, no, you can tell by touching the walls of the well on both sides. The bricks have been washed by the water without any water chestnuts, and they are very smooth to the touch. It will not be like this without hundreds of years of effort." Ma Rulong's eyes Very sophisticated, he hit the crux of the problem right away.

"Let's go and have a look first."

Ma Rulong said softly.

I found that there was an unconcealable excitement in his eyes, as if he had already affirmed that this waterway was the dragon's tail.

That inscription, Ma Rulong definitely knows more than 32 characters, and there are some other information that he did not tell us.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have determined the precise point of Dawang Village, and even specially found a nearby person as a guide!
