Soul-eating Golden Coffin - C26
Even the older children didn’t know what fear was, let alone the fact that it was in broad daylight. When they heard the shouts, they stopped “fighting” and surrounded him. They then took advantage of the hole in the fortress to look inside. But it was too dark to see anything.
The children’s biggest wish was to get into the bunker and play, so they asked the man how he got in.
The man did not answer, but merely told the children that he was hungry and asked them to help him find something to eat. After he finished speaking, he threw out a shiny golden object from the observation hole.
The children fought to snatch it, and in the end, the one with the strongest strength managed to snatch it away. When they opened their hands, they saw that it was actually a bullet.
This time, the children were in a frenzy. In those days, the thing they wanted the most was a gun and bullets. Although they didn’t have a gun now, it was still a real bullet. But the man in the bunker was clever enough to know that he had aroused the desire of the children outside, and so he gave another one to whoever brought him food, but told them not to tell anyone who told them, and never to give them any more bullets.
When the children heard this, they no longer cared about fighting anymore. They ran back to their homes and took out all the leftover food from their lunch. Some of them brought two steamed buns, some of them brought a bowl of noodles, some of them brought a sesame seed cake. Naturally, the child who had previously snatched the bullet was not willing to fall behind. He even took out half a bottle of wine from his home. Although he had one bullet, he still wanted to exchange for another. At that time, even though everyone would have one, he would have two. And he would still be the target of envy.
When the children had brought all the food and sent it to the fort, the man inside did not go back on his word. He took a bullet from each of them and again reminded the children not to tell anyone else about it.
In fact, some adults at home discovered that they had no food left after work that night, so they went to ask the children. They all insisted that they had eaten since they were hungry, but the child could not answer no matter where the plates and bowls were. After all, a plate and a bowl were not worth much money, and they were all broken.
The next day, the children continued to bring food to the person in the bunker, and each of them received a bullet as a reward.
On the third day, someone discovered that something was wrong. It was normal for the child to be hungry every afternoon, but the problem was that every time he finished eating, the plate and bowl for the food would disappear without a trace. Ask the child, they did not say, and a few careful parents found the bullet in the child’s hand, asked where it came from, the child said it was found on the mountain park.
It was about time for him to be discovered. On the afternoon of the third day, a naughty child had nothing better to do but open up the bullet in his hand to see what it looked like. Then, he took a brick and smashed it on the bullet.
After a few slaps, the bullet went out of fire and hit the ground before bouncing back. Luckily, the child was lucky, the bullet grazed his shoulder and flew into the air. Although lacerations could not be avoided, it was still a superficial wound.
This time, there was a huge commotion. Even the local police station sent people over. Once questioned, they were startled. Over ten children had over fifty rounds of bullets in their hands. It was a big case at the time. The parents panicked and asked about the origin of the bullets. In the end, the children couldn’t take the psychological attacks anymore and confessed that it was the people inside the bunker on the hill in the park who gave it to them.
The police had been inspired and thought that this was probably a wanted fugitive who had hidden there. Due to the shortage of food, they had thought of using this method to exchange food with the children. Considering that the other side might have a large amount of ammunition and weapons, and a bunker that was easy to defend, he had immediately mobilized his armed police force and surrounded the mountain bunker in the middle of the night.
Since the angle of the two slits was very small, and they were basically facing the same direction, it did not take much effort for the armed police to arrive in front of the fortress.
He first yelled out an attack in his heart, but seeing no reaction, he threw a teargas bullet through the hole. After smoking for a long time and burning all the tear gas, without seeing any movement from inside, the officer ordered the stones and soil to be pushed away from the door of the bunker. He then found ten strong warriors and opened the door with great effort.
After opening the stone door, they took out the lamp and were all dumbfounded. The inside of the fortress was only three to four square meters wide, and there was nothing inside. It was neatly arranged the various food that the children had handed in over the past few days, as well as the plates and bowls.
At that time, there were people who said that the suspect might have heard the news and ran away in advance. However, this fortress only had a door and two eyes, and the observation hole was only slightly larger than a red clay brick. Ordinary adults couldn’t even stretch their arm out, so how could someone climb out?
Moreover, this stone door had been buried here all along. This time, it had been forcefully opened by ten warriors. It was impossible for one person to open the stone door.
To say that the children were lying? However, those food and wine were neatly arranged inside. If there was no one inside, then they would have to place these items neatly from bottom to top through a hole that could not be stuffed with an arm. No matter how one looked at them, it would be impossible to explain.
The leader did not believe this evil, and immediately ordered, even if he had to dig three feet out of the ground, he had to find this person. Thus, he sent a few soldiers to dig into the fortress with a military shovel. After digging for less than a meter, he had actually managed to dig up something. It was a piece of the man’s thigh bone.
After digging again, a whole skeleton was slowly pulled out. There was also a small wooden box under the skeleton. Inside the box was a full box of Han Yang bullets, the kind that the children held in their hands.
Finally, after a professional’s verification, the bullets that were collected from the children’s hands and the box of bullets that was dug out were produced in the same batch. The original 1500 rounds of ammunition was not enough, only 1,446, 54 less, and all the bullets in the children’s hands, including the one that went off, added up to just 54.
That was the end of the story. The troops came and left that night, not forgetting to fill up the bunker and close the stone gate again.
As for who the skeleton was, and whether the 54 bullets in the children’s hands were the ones that were missing from the box, he would have to ask the skeleton first. The bunker is still standing on the hill at the northwest corner of the Beshakwan Park. Interested friends can go take a look, but if someone inside asks you, don’t say yes.
The third story was also the strangest one, and it had something to do with the dugout in the park. I remember it better because it was a sensation and it was in the papers.
It was in ’94, and not two years after the shooting, a group of young men who lived near the Beshagatan heard from the older generation that there were a lot of underground fortifications to the west and south of Zhengzhou, and they had a whim to venture into the park’s dugout.
So they prepared ropes, torches, compass, food, water, and some protective gear for a Sunday. The group carefully avoided the patrolling staff of the Park Service. After prying open the door to a dugout at the back of the administration building, they went inside.
At that time, a total of seven people went in. Not long after they left, two people stopped walking. One of them was the only girl in the team, while the other was his boyfriend. The girl was scared, crying and demanding to go back, so she stopped playing. The rest of them had no choice but to let her boyfriend accompany her out first. The rest of them continued to move forward.
Not long after that, the first fork appeared in the dugout. They were probably outside the range of the Bisha Hill Estate. They were all excited to see where the dugout in front of them went to. After making the marks, the remaining five of them split into two groups, each of which took two different paths. The three of them were rather lucky along the way. Not long after they left, they found another exit. After a brief discussion, they decided to arrive here first. Next time, they would explore further, so they forced open the exit door and climbed out.
However, the two-man team from the other group was not so lucky. It was not until the evening, in a home on the Rue du Rue du Lue, a few kilometers to the south of Bishar Park, that those who came out for a walk in the evening heard a cry for help from behind the front door of the dugout and called for the police and the resident committee of the police station. They opened the door to find the two boys.
At that time, their minds were already muddled. After being sent to the hospital, their brains had received some sort of stimulation, which was what caused this situation. After going home to recuperate for a long time, he finally managed to slowly improve. But when the family asked about that day, they could not remember it at all. It was as if the day in their lives had been stolen, left blank.
In fact, this matter wasn’t finished yet. No one could have imagined that the first couple to leave, their parents went to each of the young men who went into the dugout together with them the day before, saying that they hadn’t come back for a day and a night.
At this moment, everyone panicked and quickly called the police, arranging for the dugout to send someone over. It seemed that hundreds of people had been dispatched to search the dugouts to the west and south of Zhengzhou in two days. He couldn’t find the man and the woman, so he had no choice but to leave it to the missing person.
When my father heard about this, he said disdainfully, “Do hundreds of people want to dig up Zhengzhou’s bomb shelter in two days? They had never seen such a thing before. The dugout in Zhengzhou had been continuously dug for nearly 30 years. How could there be more than one hundred thousand men involved? At most, they only searched the outside one-fifth. ”
From then on, I was fascinated by the dugout, hoping to experience it for myself one day. However, I was too timid, so it didn’t matter if I thought about it once.
Back then, there was no child who didn’t like “Earth Warfare”. In our hearts, “Earth Thunder Warfare” and “Earth Warfare” were not the same level of movies. After all, not everyone could see the mines, but the tunnel was right beside us. So every time I finished watching The Underground Warfare, I had a desire to find a tunnel to drill in. However, my home was in the northern part of Zhengzhou, which was outside of the old city, so there were no shelters and tunnels nearby.
But then again, four months later, on the anniversary of the events of September 18, in order not to forget the shame of the country, all the city alarms had been raised and air-defense fortifications checked, and all the dugout doors had to be opened and replaced with new locks and keys. In the yard of a national cotton factory, when the resident committee opened the door of the dugout, two dehydrated corpses leaned against the door, scaring the person who opened the door into rushing to report to the police station.
