Chapter 181 Haha, lava cave!
After leaving the tribe, when Yin Xinjun passed by Jingpo Lake, he directly took out tens of thousands of kilograms of fish from the space and put them into Jingpo Lake!
He himself didn't like eating fish, and the fish in the space lake were simply overrun with them.
The weather is getting colder, and it won’t be long before the surface of Jingpo Lake freezes over.
Yin Xinjun parked the truck in the town and let Li Zengxin arrange the unloading himself.
He rode back to Jianzishan Village.
Sai Mulan was chatting with Zhang Ying in the room. Zhang Ying brought a large package of freshly made millet pancakes and was teaching Sai Mulan what to pay attention to during pregnancy.
When the two saw Yin Xinjun coming back, Zhang Ying stood up and said goodbye!
Yin Xinjun was holding two fish and a bag of apples, and he chatted with Sai Mulan for a while.
I went into the kitchen to stew fish soup!
After a while, Yin Xinjun came out with a delicious fish soup and said with a smile,
"They say that drinking fish soup is very nutritious when you are pregnant. Come, let's drink some fish soup tonight!"
He reached out and served Sai Mulan a large bowl of fish soup.
Sai Mulan said,
"Husband, let me tell you something. Aunt Wang from the village came to visit today and asked me to borrow some rice. She said that they haven't eaten rice for a long time and the children are craving for it. I saw that there was half a jar of rice in the kitchen, so I scooped three spoonfuls of rice for them."
"It's okay, Ningning. We have plenty of rice and flour. I seized another batch today! By the way, have you finished eating the steak?"
"Husband, I saw that they were poor. You told me that we fought the Japanese so that the people could live a good life, so I gave them some steak. Later, Aunt Shen from the village came again."
Last night, Yin Xinjun stewed nearly ten pounds of beef ribs, but today there is not a single piece left!
"Tell them later that there are a lot of fish in the lake now and they can go catch them tomorrow!"
The next day, people who got the news came out with fishing nets, including Li Zengxin and his colleagues.
There are already more than a dozen small boats floating on the lake, each carrying a fishing net. With one cast of the net, dozens of big fish can be caught!
Word spread quickly, and people all started fishing. Although they were also wondering how so many fish suddenly appeared in the lake, they were more concerned about catching more fish, drying them and keeping them for winter!
Yin Xinjun found an unmanned place, released the wooden boat he bought from the space, and began to row towards the west bank of the lake.
Looking at the map, the area dozens of kilometers west of Jingpo Lake is all high mountains and dense forests. To the south, one has to cross at least a hundred miles of mountainous areas before reaching a county town called Dunhua.
This is a great place to hide away for the winter.
But Yin Xinjun was still worried. He thought about finding a better hiding place on the west bank. In case the enemy surrounded him with heavy troops, he would at least have a good way to retreat.
Soon, the boat arrived at the west coast.
The west coast is uninhabited, with the exception of one or two dilapidated uninhabited cabins that can be seen occasionally. It is mostly covered with dense forests and mountains.
Today the snow stopped and the sun came out.
Taking advantage of the light snow on the road, Yin Xinjun wandered around the west bank for more than an hour.
The terrain and topography are just as marked on the map. If people come here in winter, it is very easy to get lost and they may freeze to death in no time!
Yin Xinjun returned to the town of Jingpo Lake on the east bank and asked someone to call Sun Wei, who was stationed in the town.
"Old Sun, I just went to see Huxi. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it's deserted. While the weather is good these two days, you can go back and take people to build two wooden houses in the woods and mark them. This way we can have a retreat!"
Sun Wei became concerned when he heard about this. His wife Tong Yu's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he was most concerned about safety, so he readily agreed to go.
After a few days of sunny weather, it started snowing again.
These days, Yin Xinjun would drive out in his truck every night to scout Ning'an County. When he came back, he would bring back all kinds of food, including rice, flour, vegetables, beef, mutton, etc.!
In Ning'an County, the Japanese army has been slowly gathering its forces, but most of them are still concentrated in Mudanjiang, repairing railways and bridges, so there have been no new actions.
Sun Wei led Team 3 to the forest on the west bank, about 7 to 800 meters away from the lake. They cut down a number of trees, built two wooden houses, and began to transport dry food over.
On this day, seeing that the wooden house had been built, Sun Wei was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune and planned to find a place to relieve himself.
He then walked westward for several dozen meters and was about to untie his belt when he suddenly saw a deep pit in front of him. It was hundreds of meters in radius and more than 10 meters deep.
Curious, Sun Wei stretched his head and looked, and saw a cave at the bottom of the pit. What was particularly strange was that there was no snow around the cave.
Sun Wei hurriedly called a few of his men and decided to go down to investigate. To be on the safe side, Sun Wei asked the new local team member Gu Yalong to slide down the slope.
When Gu Yalong went down to take a look, he found that the cave had become a world of its own. He shouted excitedly,
"Captain Sun, it's warmer inside the cave than outside, and it's taller than a person. The place is huge!"
When Sun Wei heard this, he was so excited that he quickly sent someone back to report the situation to Yin Xinjun!
When Yin Xinjun arrived, Sun Wei and several others had already built a row of stairs leading down to the side with shovels and pickaxes!
Yin Xinjun went down to take a look, reached out and touched the cave wall, and immediately said excitedly,
"Haha, this is a volcanic lava cave. We are rich now. We finally have a home!"
"Volcanic lava cave?" Sun Wei asked puzzledly.
Yin Xinjun explained patiently,
"A long time ago, the volcanoes here erupted, spilling magma that flowed southeast along the valley. The outer layer cooled and solidified into a hard crust, while the hot inner layer continued to flow under the surface. When the magma ran out, it eventually formed an underground lava cave."
In his previous life, Yin Xinjun had traveled to Longgong in Anshun, Guizhou. It was also an underground lava cave, so he recognized it at first sight!
Everyone seemed to understand what was said, and followed Yin Xinjun inside.
The cave is about 200 meters long and 10 meters wide. The highest point from the bottom of the cave to the ridge is about 3 meters, and the lowest point is about 2 meters.
Moreover, due to the geological action of lava, various fantastic shapes are formed. The cave is tortuous and deep, and the various rock species have various shapes and are ingenious.
What is even more valuable is that there is underground water flowing in the cave, and the ambient temperature is several degrees high.
Yin Xinjun excitedly thought that having this lava cave was equivalent to having a secret underground base. He originally planned to spend a winter in the Jingpo Lake area, but now, this plan had to be changed.
Perhaps this place can serve as a long-term base that can last until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War!
Having made up his mind, Yin Xinjun said seriously,
"This cave is our team's top secret. Today, no one is allowed to reveal a single word to the outside world! Did everyone remember this?"
Everyone nodded, their faces full of joy!
