"It's good that you understand. Learn from Principal Chen at school. He's very capable. Grandpa is old, so there's not much I can teach you. " Grandpa Gen put the hookah on his waist and smiled at Ye Chien, who was wiping his sweat. "Let's go. I'll take you to a nice place. You'll like it."
Ye Chien quickly put the towel around his neck and picked up the bucket of water. He followed Grandpa Gen with steady steps. His laughter was clearer than the birds in the bamboo forest. "Where are we going, Grandpa? You haven't had breakfast yet. Shall we go back and cook some noodles?"
"No need. There'll be food when we get there. Put the bucket down. We'll bring it back tonight. " Grandpa Gen walked with a smile. The 70-year-old man walked in the mountains with steady steps. Even the young men would admit defeat.
The back of the mountain was a large bamboo forest. The morning mist shrouded the forest, making it look like paradise on earth.
Grandpa Gen stopped in front of a cellar used by every household in the village to store sweet potatoes. He ordered Ye Chien, "Girl, open the door of the cellar."
For as long as Ye Chien could remember, there was a cellar in his house. But he didn't expect this! There was a completely different world behind the cellar!
"Be careful. Don't be afraid. Follow Grandpa." Walking in the dark tunnel that seemed to lead deep underground, Ye Chien touched the dry stone walls with both hands. The shock in his heart was no less than the shock he felt when he was reborn.
He also understood how those soldiers came to the house from time to time!
It turned out that they all went through this long tunnel in the mountains and directly entered the village without alerting any of the villagers.
The tunnel was quite long. After walking for about half an hour, Ye Chien could faintly see the entrance of the cave.
Half an hour … It was a few thousand meters long. Such a large project, yet the villagers didn't notice!
"Close your eyes for a while. Don't let the light hurt you." Standing at the entrance of the cave, Grandpa Gen reminded Ye Chien kindly, "Open your eyes in three minutes."
When Ye Chien got used to it and opened his eyes again, he saw the troops hidden in the depths of the mountains. They were close at hand.
After coming out of the cave, they walked down the mountain. Another half an hour later, they arrived at a road paved with asphalt. Beside the road, there was a white banner with red words: "Restricted Area for Troops"!
Four hundred meters away, there was an iron-tipped protective net. Behind the net was an iron-tipped gate. Inside and outside the gate, there were four armed soldiers standing guard.
He then looked into the depths of the forest and saw the sentry post hidden in the depths of the trees.
This place was heavily guarded, and under Grandpa Gen's lead, he was actually able to enter so easily!
The soldier with the gun walked over and saluted Uncle Gen. It was a routine check of his identity.
The sound of a car came from the front. A very ordinary car came from afar and stopped steadily in front of the sentry post.
The left and right car doors opened at the same time. As the car soldier handed over his ID, the young soldier who jumped down from the front passenger seat strode out of the sentry post towards Ye Chien.
"Grandpa Gen, you're here." The young soldier in the military uniform smiled and saluted Grandpa Gen, "I'm afraid I have to go back on my promise from last time. The school called me urgently and I need to go back. I can only come back later."
