Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

Lion Mountain is a landmark mountain bordering Lijia Village Brigade and Pingshan County. It is full of high mountains and canyons and is rarely visited by people.

At that time, Li Xiangnan had just entered junior high school and was only in his teens.

Suddenly one day, a villager came to Li Fugui to ask for help, saying that he and his son went into the mountains to collect herbs and hunt, and accidentally fell into a deep cave, and their life or death was in danger.

As a result, Li Fugui went to the neighboring village to seek medical treatment. Li Dequan had no choice but to take his grandson and call on more than a dozen villagers to travel through mountains and rivers with a medicine box to save him.

When they arrived at the place where the locals said they had fallen, they looked carefully and actually saw a cave entrance that had been washed open by a mountain torrent. They could vaguely hear faint groans.

The person is definitely not dead. As for how serious his injuries are, we must go down and take a look!

But the cave was pitch black and the flashlight couldn't reach the bottom.

So everyone had to send someone to lower a rope down to see if they could reach the bottom.

As a result, two people did go down. The rope reached the bottom while they were still in mid-air. When they shone the flashlight around, they saw a lot of traces of artificial construction. It looked like a military base with a different world inside.

This scared everyone.

The two rescuers came up quickly, and after everyone discussed it, no one knew what was down there. Even the older villagers didn't know what was so strange about it.

Now they couldn't rescue the people, couldn't get down, and the place seemed strange, so everyone had to find another way to get in.

As a result, everyone was terrified when they searched.

I actually found a thick concrete gate halfway up the other side of the cliff. It used to be embedded in the mountain wall like the fangs of a giant beast, but it had long lost its cold, hard, blue-gray luster.

Dark brown rust, like solidified blood, spread and peeled off on the door hinges, rivets and edges of the door panels, revealing the pale concrete bones underneath.

The loess road, which was once barren due to being crushed by heavy vehicles, has long been swallowed up by wild grass and low shrubs.

There were only a few deep, cracked, and almost dust-filled ruts, like old, unhealable scars on the earth, stubbornly extending towards the cave entrance, telling of the hustle and bustle that had long since gone.

On the rock walls on both sides of the cave entrance, the signs that once bore the glaring red slogans "Military Restricted Area, No Approaching" are now reduced to a few broken pieces of iron sheets with curled edges and blurred lettering, emitting hollow and muffled groans in the wind.

The barbed wire fences used for security had long since rusted and broken, lying on the ground like dead vines, or tangled around fallen concrete pillars.

Deep in the cave, there is endless darkness and silence.

The sunlight barely penetrated a few meters into the cave entrance before dissipating feebly into the thick darkness, illuminating only the thick dust on the ground mixed with animal feces and rotten leaves, as well as some scattered metal fragments that were so rusted that their original appearance could not be recognized.

Looking from a distance, the entire mountain is no longer a cold and solid fortress, but more like a huge skeleton that has been hollowed out by time and is slowly decaying.

When they walked in, everyone was shocked by the size, grandeur and majesty of the former military facilities.

In a mountain cave so close to Lijia Village, there is such a mysterious area that is unknown and has never been discovered. Everyone was terrified and hurriedly found the person. After rescuing him, they quickly carried him down the mountain.

Over the years, whenever Li Xiangnan thinks of the scene of rescuing people in Lion Rock, he still feels a lingering fear.

At this moment, hearing his grandfather mention the old situation of Lion Mountain, Li Xiangnan understood what his grandfather meant.

He suspected that the Cuttlefish Project mentioned by his aunt Mu Huanrong was probably related to these military bases and military plans. It had nothing to do with the ocean or land, but with specific project planning.

But the problem is coming.

Grandpa looked for many people from that year and asked them if they had seen Mu Huanying, and the answer was yes.

This makes people wonder, why would grandma meet them?

Is there any explanation here?

Grandma has been to so many cities, what is her purpose?

Is it simply to meet up with old friends and reminisce about youth?

Or is there a work requirement that requires you to see them, consult them, rely on them, and need their help?

Li Xiangnan suddenly realized something.

Grandpa Li Dequan and grandfather-in-law Qin Zongheng had connections with the older generation. Those people had long been leaders and masters in various places and fields, and many of them had prominent positions. Perhaps this was the reason why grandma wanted to meet them?

Li Xiangnan couldn't figure it out.

He suddenly remembered the clues he had found and quickly reminded his grandfather: "Grandpa, Brother Song Yu told me before that Guan Hongzhen also seemed to be investigating Grandma's whereabouts, but he only went to the coastal areas and seemed to have identified Grandma's activity area, which was near Penglai!"

"Penglai?"

Song Qiankun's brows furrowed immediately. He suddenly pulled Li Dequan and said, "Old Li, could it be that we are heading in the wrong direction?"

Li Dequan remained silent, staring at the location of Penglai on the map. "Grandson, this information is crucial. Are you sure you heard it correctly? It's Penglai?"

"Yes, big brother mentioned two places, Donghai and Penglai, which are the places Guan Hongzhen visits most frequently!"

Time was running out, and Li Xiangnan had no way of telling his grandfather everything about Guan Hongzhen. The other party also seemed to have no time to dwell on the logic behind Guan Hongzhen's behavior. His focus was always on swiping his fingers at the locations of the East China Sea and Penglai on the map.

"But that's not right!" Li Dequan quickly shook his head. "Your grandmother showed up in Xining last summer. She asked Captain Gan to provide her with four jeeps and plenty of gasoline, and then she headed west!"

Li Xiangnan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Where did she go?"

"Lop Nur!"

Li Dequan did not answer, and Song Qiankun on the side said quietly.

Lop Nur?

The most mysterious desert lake?

What is grandma doing there?

The natural environment there is extremely harsh, with Gobi desert sand dunes everywhere, which is a forbidden zone for humans.

This is not a good place to go!

Li Xiangnan's heart suddenly shook again. He suddenly felt a burst of cold chill from the three words "Lop Nur", and the hairs on his back stood on end!

Lop Nur!

Captain Peng’s disappearance in Lop Nur in 1980!

It was one of the most famous unsolved mysteries until many years ago!

He checked his watch, stood up, and said with sweat on his forehead, "Grandpa, if it's Lop Nur, you can't go!"

Grandpa is so old. If he goes west to the desert, the risk will exceed the limit and he will almost certainly die. How could Li Xiangnan watch his loved one fall into the tiger's mouth like a lamb?

Seeing his grandson's reaction, Li Dequan laughed dumbly and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Lop Nur is where atomic bombs are dropped. How could I..."

He was laughing when suddenly his voice stopped. Then he glared at Song Qiankun and looked him in the eye. Cold sweat broke out on his face and a very terrifying thought came to his mind.

At this time, Li Xiangnan, Song Yi and Song Zimo also understood what Li Dequan had not said.

They looked at each other silently, and the room fell into a long silence.

Mu Huanying's identity is almost revealed.

But is this really what they think?

"Grandpa, what if it was my aunt instead of my grandma who went to Lop Nur?" Li Xiangnan couldn't rule out this possibility.

Li Dequan frowned, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I've thought of this possibility! Now we have no way to confirm who went to the northwest, so we can only tentatively assume it was your grandmother! Because, during the New Year, I saw your aunt in Luzhou, which means it wasn't your aunt in Lop Nur!"

Hearing this, everyone fell into reminiscence and silence fell in the study.

"Grandpa, can you please give Captain Gan a call?"

But soon, it was obvious that Li Xiangnan's mind was not only on his grandmother. He suddenly spoke nervously.

"What Captain Gan? Now he's Commander Gan!" Li Dequan wiped the sweat from his forehead and teased his grandson, then asked, "What do you want to do, kid?"

Li Xiangnan said sincerely, "I'd like to ask him to make a phone call to Lop Nur."

"???"
