I leaned over and picked up the severed hand on the ground. I was sure that it was Axiang's right hand, which was severed at the wrist. The tooth marks on the section were uneven, indicating that it had been bitten off by a huge force of the jaw. Only the body with

Flare, it seems that she and Axiang must be together. They must have encountered some ferocious beast, and finally retreated to the crater of an extinct volcano to seek help.

The fat man dragged the exhausted Uncle Ming up from the slope. At the same time, a red salamander emerged from the top of the cone-shaped mountain, spitting out a tongue about a foot long. It also retained the ancient shape of the post-glacial period.

Characterized by several rows of sharp teeth.

The fat man and I immediately drew our guns and fired. There was a flurry of gunfire. The salamander was hit by the impact of the bullets and recoiled repeatedly. However, its skin and flesh are strong, second only to the striped dragon. Although light weapons can hurt it, they are not enough.

Fatal, the fat man took out a set of three pull-fire detonators from his bag and threw them at it as a grenade.

The salamander was hit by bullets continuously. It wanted to run away, but when the rain of bullets suddenly stopped, it rushed forward again. The pull-fire detonator thrown by the fat man happened to hit its head, and it hit the ground in front of it.

The momentum of the attack continued unabated, and he just hit the detonator.

Because it was a sudden encounter near the crater, the distance was extremely close, and the pull-fire detonator exploded at will. The detonator used to blow up the stone gate was very powerful. An explosion at such a close distance might kill us all. I quickly pushed Uncle Ming down.

There was a loud noise above our heads, and the air wave of the explosion lifted the salamander into the air. A lot of gravel hit us. Fortunately, we had mountaineering helmets to protect the vital parts of our heads, but there were a few cuts on our exposed arms.

come out.

When the pungent gunpowder smoke dissipated, I looked up at the salamander, which was lying upside down more than ten meters away. Its intestines were pierced by the explosion. I just wanted to tell the fat man that it doesn't matter if you plan to imitate Dong Cunrui, but it's best.

Stay away from others and don't ask us to support you.

But at this time, I found Uncle Ming staring straight at Axiang's broken hand. I felt sad and didn't know how to persuade him. As far as I know, if a person's limbs are broken, if they are broken in a short period of time,

It was possible to perform surgery and reattach her, but in such an isolated environment, how could an operation be performed? Not to mention that the section was not a section, and it was impossible to reattach her. It was not even known whether she was still alive.

Uncle Ming was stunned for a while before asking me: My goddaughter's hand did not wait for my answer, so he lowered his head with a slumped look on his face. He seemed to be very heartbroken, but also seemed to be very remorseful, and his expression and mood were very complicated.

The fat man also saw the severed hand and curled his lips at me. I knew what he meant was that he was very embarrassed. What should Uncle Ming do? I waved my hand to him. The more I tried to persuade him, the more upset I became. Don't say anything and quickly held on.

Uncle Ming goes up the mountain.

So Fatty and I took Uncle Ming's arm and dragged him to the top of the cone-shaped mountain like a dead dog. There was a large amount of black volcanic sand near the mountain pass. The volcanic rock turned from gray to black, and then formed sand-like crystals, at least

It takes millions of years. An extinct volcano can also be said to be a corpse in nature. Walking on it and actually coming into contact with those eternal changes will give people an incomprehensible feeling.

I was even a little afraid of the few steps to the crater. I was always worried about seeing their bodies in the belly of the extinct volcano.

However, no matter how long the road is, it has an end. When we reach the top of the mountain, we have to face reality. The crater is much smaller than I imagined. The erosion of the years has caused a large part of the cave entrance to collapse. The remaining cave entrance is as big as a factory.

It’s a big chimney. No wonder the salamander couldn’t climb in. When I looked inside, I saw some green fluorescence underneath. We are familiar with that kind of light. It comes from fluorescent tubes. I shouted a few times below. I couldn’t wait for someone to answer.

Climbed down

In the inverted bell mouth of the extinct volcano, there are many well-shaped buildings of stone and black wood, which may have been used for the passage of priests. They were stacked from the bottom to the top. Although the wood has decayed, the square boulders are still very strong. I think the three

The next two times I jumped to the bottom of the mountain, I saw Axiang sitting in the corner holding Axiang in his arms. I saw that they were still alive, and my heartbeat calmed down a little.

Emergency treatment has been done on Axiang's broken wrist. I asked if there were any injuries. Is Axiang's injury serious?

She shook her head at me. She was fine, but Axiang's situation was not optimistic. A scuffle broke out between the white-bearded fish king dragons in the underwater temple. The bottom of the temple was broken, and the water in the entire wind-eroded lake poured into the ground.

The surging torrent swept into the first-level underground lake. As soon as he raised his head to take a breath, he saw Axiang being washed away by the water. He reached out to pull her, but both of them were carried into the second-level underground lake by the current.

Before I could get ashore, I encountered Xiang in the water and it bit my hand. I dragged him to the volcanic island in the lake and chased after me. I rescued Xiang during the close-range shooting. Since I had no ammunition, I had to retreat to the volcano on the mountain.

Mouth, it was then discovered that Axiang's hand had been bitten off at some point, so he hurriedly bandaged her, but without medicine, the bleeding could not be completely stopped, and he was helpless. When he stabilized, he remembered to send a signal for help.

At this time, Uncle Ming and Fatty also came down separately. When Fatty saw that everyone was still alive, he held a paratrooper's knife in his mouth and climbed up again. He wanted to cut some pieces of meat from the salamander and roast them to satisfy his hunger. He was really hungry and couldn't resist.

.

Uncle Ming saw Axiang's injuries and his face turned pale with fright. He said to me: Brother Hu, you can't abandon Axiang just because she is missing a hand. Medical science is very advanced now. Go back and put on a prosthetic hand and wear it.

You can't tell anything with just the gloves, she will definitely give you a son

I said to Uncle Ming: When her hand was not injured, I did not agree to marry her. Haven't I already made my position clear? I am firmly opposed to arranged marriages. My father and mother have no temper with me. Now you are always

Using this as an excuse makes it seem like I dislike her for missing one hand. Let me say it again, even if Axiang has three hands, I can't marry her. I don't care how many hands she has.

Uncle Ming said: Oh, don't shirk it. If you go to Hong Kong to chop firewood in any mountain, you can go to Hong Kong for a period of time. That is not an arranged marriage. Since you don't dislike her hands, don't you still dislike her appearance?

Isn't it beautiful enough?

He looked a little angry, frowned slightly and said: When are you still arguing about these things? Why do you never consider what Axiang thinks? In your opinion, is she just a bargaining chip in business negotiations? Don't forget that she is also with

You also have an independent consciousness, and you are a person with emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. Find a way to treat her injury quickly. If you don't restrain the injury from getting worse, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive today.

Uncle Ming and I were scolded and had nothing to say. Although we knew it was important to save people, it was not easy to control such a serious injury in this situation where there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine. Axiang's arm had been damaged.

He tied it tightly with a rope to temporarily inhibit the blood flow, but this is not a solution. After a long time, there is no way to save the arm.

I had no idea. I was so anxious that I paced back and forth. I glanced at the backpack that the fat man had put on the ground when he came down. My heart moved and I finally grabbed the life-saving straw. At this time, the fat man also came back and brought back several large lizards.

Meat, I thought to myself that the two Italians, Fatty and Uncle Ming, would not be able to help if they did not help, and the more they helped, the more they would become more and more troublesome, so I asked them to prepare some food for everyone, and Wei Axiang and I would come to the rescue.

I took off the bandage on Axiang's wrist. Since there was no alcohol, I had to remove a bullet and burn the wound with gunpowder. Then I took out the pieces of shells of the shelled turtles in the fat man's bag and cut some of them out.

Crush it, mix it with water, apply it on the wound, stick it firmly with tape, and wrap it with gauze.

Asked me if this thing can really heal injuries, I said that’s what Uncle Ming said anyway. Old turtles that can shed their shells are spiritual, and they will not stay away from the shed shells, and will often lick them with saliva, so this

Turtle shells can be used as medicine. In addition to detoxifying and removing blood stasis, it can also produce muscles and stop bleeding. Whether his goddaughter will die or live this time depends on whether Uncle Ming has made a mistake. If this thing doesn't have the miraculous effect he said, we can't

There was nothing she could do to save her. Although it was not a direct fatal injury, Axiang's body was thin and without painkillers, the pain could kill her.

Axiang had just been burned by gunpowder and had woken up from a coma. She was crying in pain. I comforted her and said: The pain in the wound means it is about to heal. The loss of a hand is nothing. Anyway, there are two people.

In the past, several of my comrades stepped on anti-infantry mines. Those mines were very evil. They were designed to maim people without killing them. They were designed to make wounded soldiers a burden to the opponent. As a result, after they were injured, they continued to do the same.

When I returned to China to attend a lecture on heroes and models, I moved thousands of people, and they all got married without any delay.

I comforted Axiang with a few random words, then sat down to rest. I took a look at the terrain here. Extinct volcanoes are natural, but they have been artificially repaired in ancient times. The space underneath is not small. The area where we are is

In the center, there is a building similar to a stone well, but with a stone portal. The terrain becomes narrower toward the surroundings. The gap between the bottom and the wellhead above is not large. Although the extinct volcano is located under the underground lake, it is very dry inside and there is no sign of water seepage.

.

The fat man lit up a fire and roasted the salamander with all its muscles and skin. Through the flickering light of the fire, I saw many primitive symbols carved on the stone wall, like stars scattered all over the sky, including an eye nebula.

The pattern, against the background of the five-clawed animal pattern, faces the east. I once told me that there is this mark on the Bible map. The real Eye Altar of Eluohai City must be to the east not far from here. The World's Enemy-Conquering Orb King

In the rap poems of the poets, this place is called Magamanningdun, which means the thunder mountain struck by Mahakala. Mahakala is a legendary demon that controls ores.

I wanted to confirm, so I asked her if this was the Thunder Mountain. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said these words, Uncle Ming next to me suddenly let out a sigh, and the fat man asked him what happened. He was so surprised.

Uncle Ming's face changed. When I saw Ah Xiang's severed hand, I had never seen him look so ugly. When I asked about it, I found out that Uncle Ming was not an ordinary superstitious person, especially he believed deeply in the fortune-telling horoscopes.

, his real name is Lei Xianming, but when you hear the name of this place is Thunder Mountain, doesn’t that mean you are hitting him?

Neither Fatty nor I took it seriously, and we took the opportunity to ridicule him for making such a fuss. But Uncle Ming said solemnly: You young people, don’t believe this. This person’s name is a matter of good or bad fortune in a small way, and life and death in a big way. Destiny is all in it.

Uncle Ming saw that we didn't believe it, so he said: The Luofengpo incident is too far away, so we won't talk about it. You all know the leader of the military command, Dai Li, who is also a influential figure in the Kuomintang. When he was young, he hired people After calculating his horoscope, it was determined that his sign was fire, which needed to be supplemented by water, so he asked someone to give him the name Jiang Hanjin. All three characters had the word "water" next to him, so he flourished in his official career.

I said to Uncle Ming: Yes, I didn’t fly well in my career. I fell off a plane and died. What’s the use of changing my name? Don’t worry about it.

Uncle Ming said no, no, you only know one, but not the other. Dai Li also used many pseudonyms, because their military commanders are all agents, and sometimes they need to use pseudonyms to communicate. He once used Hun Sen, Shen Peilin, etc. The name, even the code name has to have water, you think it's a ghost, but on the day he fell from the plane, he insisted on using the name Gao Chongyue, ignoring the mountains and rivers, and committed a taboo, and the plane It hit a mountain and crashed. After asking around, those who collected the body found out that the mountain the plane hit was called Daishan, and the ravine the wreckage fell into was called Cuoyugou. It was clearly the gate of hell that took his life. So these things are really It is better to believe that something exists than to believe something does not exist.

The fat man asked: No, don't talk about that now. How do you know so much about the military commander's secret service? You should be lenient if you confess. If you resist, we will be strict with you.

Uncle Ming quickly explained that he had nothing to do with Dai Li. These were all told by fortune tellers when he was doing business. But after checking later, he found that they were true and every word was true, so he believed in these things. There are countless such examples. If it doesn't work, just retreat quickly, otherwise you will have to stay here for the rest of your life.

I said to Uncle Ming: As you saw along the way, there is nowhere else to go underground. We can only go through the tunnel on the east side of the extinct volcano, hoping that there will be a back door near the altar, but that will have to happen. We can wait until we have something to eat and rest before moving on. We can't go anywhere now.

Uncle Ming felt that he couldn't stay in the mountains anyway. He was restless and wanted to leave quickly. He walked to the stone door on the east side and poked his head through the gap to look around. But after just a few glances, he seemed to have seen something. What a terrible thing. He suddenly closed the door and pressed it tightly with his back. There was a layer of sweat as big as soybeans on his forehead. He shouted in shock: There is someone behind the door. Shumeng.
