There is an authentic tunnel in the village. Now from a distance, there is only a short earth wall in front of the tunnel, and the earth wall is covered with weeds. If you don’t look carefully, you will definitely not expect that there is another mystery behind the earth wall.

It was a modern history in the village. In that era, wars were full of smoke and wars spread across the country.

In the northwest, Ma Bufang, who was known as the "King of the Northwest", was ruled by Ma Bufang. In order to fight, the Ma family army plundered people's wealth and misfortune everywhere, causing chaos and complaints everywhere. Our village is called "Majiawan", but it has nothing to do with Ma Bufang.

Ma Bufang's army did not let our villagers be harmed because of the name of our village. After several lootings, the bandits ruined the village in a mess. They killed people, set fire, and robbed our food. They had guns in their hands, but our villagers were unarmed and could only let the bandits do whatever they wanted.

In desperation, the villagers began to find ways to save themselves. They came up with a way out, which was to dig a tunnel that could defend and attack in the village. No one in the village opposed it. Most of the villagers had been persecuted by the Ma family army and hated and feared the Ma family army.

The matter of digging tunnels is imminent, and the villagers took out young and middle-aged men to work day and night to dig tunnels. In order to keep it confidential, the digging tunnels is basically carried out at night. Taking advantage of the night, men digging in it, and women and children are responsible for transferring the soil. Under the bright moonlight, under the fierce sun and in the wind and rain, they dare not stop. The wife wiped the sweat of her husband, and the grandson brought dry food to her grandfather. The whole village participated in it, striving to dig the tunnels before the bandits entered the village next time.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters... the tunnel is gradually advancing deeper. In just one month, the tunnel has been dug more than 200 meters. When I was tired of digging, I sat down and smoked a cigarette, and then continued to dig. In this way, an authentic tunnel that was more than 1,000 meters long was digging forward under the influence of manpower.

Finally one day, with the hoe of the old man surnamed Jing, the tunnel was dug through. Through the hoe, everyone saw the sky. Everyone happily clapped each other and celebrated each other. They couldn't believe that their strength was so great. They had heard about Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall, but they couldn't believe that they could dig through this mountain range.

This is the first step to success. The bandits have not come for many days. According to time, the bandits should sweep the entire village again in the near future. The villagers packed earthen kangs and stoves in the tunnels in case of emergency. They dug up secret passages and side passages, mainly for ambushing and fighting. Everyone began to transfer some remaining grain and materials to the tunnels, and some people began to use camouflage means to cover up the existence of the tunnels. They built a dirt wall at the entrance of the tunnels, and transplanted a lot of vegetation outside the dirt wall. If they did not get close to observe, the tunnels would not be found in the distance.

A few days later, the bandits came again. They rode into the village with a skinny horse, but they found that the village was empty. No, there was an old man named Ma who didn't want to evacuate at all, lying on the kang smoking. In order to shock the villagers, they pulled the old man to the entrance of the village and fired guns in the sky. The villagers heard the crackling sound of gunfire and quietly lurking in the tunnel. The tunnel was silent, and it seemed that the heartbeat could be heard.

It is said that the old man surnamed Ma had a relationship with the bandits because he was a Ma family, so he survived his death. A bandit was anxious to pee and ran to the tunnel entrance to solve the problem. A young man surnamed Zheng, who was crawling at the tunnel entrance, was panicked and was about to climb back to the tunnel, but was discovered by the bandits. The curious bandits tiptoed up with a gun. He discovered the tunnel and was about to call for his accomplices, but was pulled into the tunnel by the villagers ambushed at the entrance of the cave, and trampled them around, and finally died of anger.

When the bandits evacuated, they did not find their companions lost and left in a mighty manner. This time, it was the last time that the bandits entered the village and never saw their traces again.

A year later, the old man surnamed Ma stood on the top of the mountain with the seized rifle and fired it, which was said to have scared away the bandits coming.

Another year later, the Red Army came. The villagers didn't know whether the Red Army was good or evil, so they all evacuated into the tunnel. Only the old man surnamed Ma did not evacuate, and he still lay on the kang to smoke. The Red Army stayed for one night and left, leaving a lot of food and supplies before leaving. It is said that there were letters, letters of thanks. From then on, the villagers knew that the Red Army was a good person.

Later, the whole country was liberated. The tunnel was forgotten, and it lay quietly in the mountains. Until one day, a group of children entered, lit a torch, took away the iron spoon inside, and smashed the stove inside.

When the children saw a pile of bones on the ground, they were so scared that they retreated. A bold child picked up the bones and saw that it was the bones of sheep. The children let go of their panic and continued to move forward. But as they walked, they saw traces of being washed by the water in the tunnel, and some of the ground had collapsed, so the children stopped exploring and retreated without any intention.

The authentic story is rarely known to the villagers, and it is no longer remembered by people. It hides quietly behind the low wall, witnessing the huge changes in the village.
