War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 848 Time to go home
After some greetings and introductions, everyone took the off-road vehicle driven by Qin Ershi and drove a hundred meters away, and finally stopped on a wasteland with more than a dozen tents.

"Mr. Zhou must be familiar with this place, but Brother Wei Ran is here for the first time, so let me introduce it on your behalf?"

Zhou Qiguang nodded gently, "I haven't been here for decades, just in time to listen to you."

"To the northwest, about five or six hundred meters away is Mo's village."

Qin Ershi pointed to the left front of the front of the car and said, "The villagers in that village are relatively simple. If Mr. Zhou and Brother Wei Ran are not used to living in tents, they can go to the village to find someone to stay for a few days."

After a short pause, Qin Ershi lightly tapped the rearview mirror between the driver's and co-pilot's seats with his finger, "A hundred meters behind us, the houses surrounded by the piece of teak wood are the houses where the orthographic helmet was discovered. .”

When Wei Ran and Zhou Qiguang looked away from the car, Qin Ershi pointed to the camphor forest directly in front of the car and said, "That forest is the abandoned temple. Mr. Zhou, Brother Wei Ran, what are you going to do?" Take a break first, or go shopping first?"

“I can walk around by myself”

Zhou Qiguang was the first to push open the car door, "I was younger than you when I left here last time, and I happened to go to the village to see if there is anyone I know."

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Qin Ershi said first.

"Need not"

Zhou Qiguang waved his hand, "You are busy with your work. If you need my help, please call me at any time, or go to the temple in Mo's village to find me. I am going to spend the night in that temple. Also Yes, if it is convenient, help me deliver the suitcase to the temple in the village."

"I'll send you there now, do you want to go there with me?" Qin Ershi asked.

"I'll just go shopping by myself." While speaking, Zhou Qiguang had already jumped out of the cab.

"You pay attention to safety"

Wei Ran also pushed open the car door, "If there is anything we need to do, please call me or Soseki at any time."

"it is good"

Zhou Qiguang nodded gently, and walked slowly along the gravel road in the direction of the house where the helmet was found right behind the car.

"Let's go to the temple to have a look." Wei Ran said while pawing at the car door, "Second King, please help Mr. Zhou deliver the suitcase first."

"I'm going right now." After Xia Shushi got off the car, the second king immediately steered the off-road vehicle to turn around and drive towards Mo's village.

"What's going on with those tents?" Wei Ran stood at the same spot, raised his chin and asked at the official logos on the tents not far away.

"Be a witness, and also make a record." Xia Shushi pointed to the off-road vehicle that hadn't driven far, "It was arranged by the Second Emperor."

"Your brother has a lot of energy." Wei Ran hinted pointedly.

"Just playing with the crotch boy"

Xia Shushi teased, "That errand is usually not in good shape, and he always thinks of something to make his family look up to him, but in the end he always does bad things with good intentions, and every time he asks his family to pay attention to him." Someone wipe his ass."

Before Wei Ran opened his mouth to say anything, Xia Shushi said bluntly, "This time, the Second King is a bastard who wants to use Brother Wei Ran to help with personnel affairs, but he bet all his treasures on you." .”

"What's the bet?" Wei Ran asked without beginning or end.

"He wanted to bet that you would be able to find those soldiers of the expeditionary army, and bet that he saw the right person." Xia Shushi walked behind Wei Ran, exposing Qin Ershi's background without any pressure.

"This piece of dragon boat flowers blooms really well." Wei Ran pointed to the blooming flower sea in front and changed the subject.

"yes"

Xia Shushi also didn't delve into the last topic, and led Wei Ran to bypass the dragon boat flowers and the excavation points that can be seen everywhere in the forest, and walked into the abandoned temple along the stone road that was almost completely covered with moss.

Decades of time have passed, and now this small temple has long been dilapidated. Not only the small temple has been covered by climbing vines, but even the pagoda behind has become an ecology in this small forest. In a part of the circle, from time to time, unknown birds can be seen crawling in and out of the branches and leaves clinging to the pagoda.

Standing at the entrance of the temple, Xia Shushi pointed to the headless Buddha statue inside and said, "We didn't break open that Buddha statue, but we found another way to bathe it with a high-pressure water gun, and then we found the hidden compartment." Said, if you can find the expeditionary force who stayed here, rebuilding this temple will be considered as fulfilling your wish.”

"The second generation still believes in Buddhism?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.

"He believes in a der Buddha"

Xia Shushi took out a pack of thin cigarettes and distributed them to Wei Ran to light one, and said in a puffy voice, "You flew here from a plane without touching the ground, but the second generation and I drove here. Along the way, don't mention how unlucky you are."

"How do you say it?" Wei Ran asked with the cigarette between his fingers, driving away the few mosquitoes in a circle.

"On the way, we saw many cemeteries and cemeteries of soldiers of the expeditionary army."

Xia Shushi paused, "But we also saw quite a few devil's cemeteries, like those of his grandma, those cemeteries are so beautiful, even special code military dogs, military horses and even the elephants they raise have erected steles. It seems that the special codes are afraid that others will not know that they have invaded here.

What's even more hateful than this is that these free-for-all people have been brainwashed by the devils. We asked many people along the way, and they all thought that the expeditionary force back then was the invaders with the British guys for the sake of free-for-free This fucking place is colonized.

On the contrary, the devils who burned, killed and looted in their country at the beginning became their saviors.Because of this brainwashing, many cemeteries of the expeditionary army were destroyed. Many local Chinese and overseas Chinese wanted to send the remains of the expeditionary army back to the country, and they could only rely on stealing.

Secretly searched, secretly dug, and then secretly transported back to the country for burial.Even some tombs that are still free of electricity are protected by local overseas Chinese under the pretext of ancestral tombs as cover. "

"A lot of people do this?" Wei Ran asked, "I mean the people who helped the expeditionary forces go home?"

"Basically, they are overseas Chinese volunteers and some domestic self-organized groups."

Speaking of this, Xia Shushi raised his finger and pointed to the dilapidated temple, "So the second emperor plans to erect a monument in a blatant manner. After he rebuilds the temple, it will be next to the temple."

"This temple can be repaired," Wei Ran said abruptly, "But I think it's better to let them rest."

"What?" Xia Shushi didn't realize it for a while.

"Eighty years of public resignation, please return tonight."

Wei Ran walked into the abandoned temple and said, "When they were alive, they came to this ghost place to fight devils. It's time to rest after so long. Compared with setting up monuments in foreign lands and passing them on to those who don't want to remember them Rather than letting them fight with the devils for this meaningless cemetery after they die, it is better to invite them back and bury them in their hometown to sleep more peacefully."

Standing in front of the headless Buddha statue, Wei Ran looked up at the roof covered with cobwebs, "Speaking of which, this place is not their home, there is no need for them to be guarded by the Dian people during life and after death. The land they don't even cherish. Besides, even if the temple is repaired, who will come?"

Xia Shushi opened his mouth, finally nodded, and said seriously, "Later, I will discuss it with the second generation, and let him spend the money in the right place."

"Do you know where Monk Sehao is buried?" Wei Ran asked, changing the subject.

"I really don't know this"

Xia Shushi raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the pagoda behind the temple, "But there is indeed a stele behind it. When we came here to look for it, the translator said it was the tomb of the old abbot of this temple, so we didn't ask in detail at that time."

Hearing this, Wei Ran also turned around and walked out of the temple, picked a bunch of dewy dragon boat flowers, walked around to the backyard of the temple overgrown with weeds, and found a low tombstone beside the stupa covered with plants .

Although he didn't know the Burmese language on the tombstone at all, he was very sure that the one buried here was Monk Sehao.

Bending down to put down the dragon boat flower in his hand, Wei Ran turned his head and said, "Soseki, I plan to find that cave right now?"

"Go now?" Xia Shushi didn't expect Wei Ran to be so impatient, "Aren't you going to rest?"

"I slept all the way on the plane"

Wei Ran turned around and walked out and said, "I happened to look for that cave while I was full of energy."

"Is there really no need to rest?" Xia Shushi asked.

"It's really not necessary"

Wei Ran thought for a while and said, "Well, let the second make arrangements to see if you can find a few donkeys to follow. In addition, if you have weapons, find a way to get some self-defense weapons."

"I'm going right now."

"Wait first." Wei Ran grabbed Xia Shushi, "Don't let those reporters and photographers follow, don't let the locals follow, and Mr. Zhou, it's best not to let him know."

"Why?" Xia Shushi asked subconsciously.

"Why else"

Wei Ran spread his hands, "I don't know if I can find it this time. If I can't find it, is it a waste of time? Why don't we go find it first, and after we find it, you can take the reporters and photographers to go again. .As for not letting the locals follow, didn’t you just say the reason?”

"Where's Mr. Zhou?" Xia Shushi asked inquiringly.

"You let him know, he looks at people who are 60 years old, follow or not?" Wei Ran asked, "It's not appropriate not to follow, if you follow, do you think he has the stamina to run all over the mountains?"

"That's right, I'm going to prepare things with the Second Emperor." After Xia Shushi finished speaking, he trotted away from the abandoned temple.

Watching the other party run away, Wei Ran turned around and walked back to the tombstone, took out the British army kettle full of earth cannon wine from the metal book, unscrewed the lid, and gently poured some in front of the tombstone, "I'll try Let’s see if we can pick them up, and if we can still find the cave, then we will discuss it with Guochang’s son and move your grave there according to your will.”

"Yeah!" Wei Ran lightly touched the kettle and the tombstone, and took his first sip of wine with his head raised.

Precisely tightening the lid of the kettle and taking back the metal book, Wei Ran simply got up, turned and left the long-forgotten temple, and walked out of the forest.

When he found the tent with his name on it, Qin Er Shi also drove back in an off-road vehicle.

"Zhu Shi told me that you want to sneak into the mountains right now?" Qin Ershi asked in a low voice as he opened the door before the car turned off.

"Right." Wei Ran walked around to the rear of the car to take out his suitcase, "Have any difficulties?"

"There are no difficulties, but don't you need to rest?" Qin Ershi asked with concern.

"Let's rest on the way into the mountain"

Wei Ran picked up the suitcase and said, "Hurry up and find some donkeys. Remember to ask the owner of the donkey to repair the donkey's hooves first, and prepare the necessary supplies and the topographic map of Dangtong Nong Mountain. It is best to catch the donkey before the sun goes down." Leave before."

"Come with me," Xia Shushi greeted while pulling his suitcase.

Hearing this, Wei Ran didn't wait for Qin Er Shi to agree, so he carried his suitcase and followed Xia Shushi into a large inflatable tent not far away.

Opening the suitcase and changing into the quick-drying pants and high-waisted tropical boots prepared in advance, Wei Ran sprayed the vital insect repellent potion on his body and said, "Soseki, you and Qin Ershi will stay later."

"What did you say?" Xia Shushi, who was also changing clothes, was stunned, "Are we staying?"

"Nonsense, are you still following?"

Wei Ran asked back as a matter of course, "If you stay here, if I have an accident, you can still count on you to rescue me, and you will go with me. If there is an accident, who do you count on? Could it be that you count on Mr. Zhou? Me and He doesn't know him well."

"Or me and you."

"I'm not familiar with the second generation either," Wei Ran said bluntly.

"But we don't worry if you go alone."

Xia Shushi said seriously, "We treat you as a friend and ask you to help, but we don't intend to treat you like an animal. If you want to find it yourself, you'd better take Mr. Zhou's plane back later."

"What's the fuss"

Before the words were finished, Qin Ershi had already walked in with a girl in a tube top short skirt with his arms around him, and said cynically while rubbing the girl's chest, "Zhu Shi, you stay and sit in charge, Wei Ran Brother, I'll take someone with you into the mountain to look for it later."

"Just you?" Wei Ran looked down on the other party's appearance, "Can you keep up with your short ribs?"

"Who do you look down upon?"

Qin Ershi patted the girl's buttocks, and said amidst the girl's exclamation, "Brother, I can watch the sky at night, and I can make money by pinching my fingers."

"Fix toad legs, you take a break"

Xia Shushi didn't give the other party a chance to talk nonsense at all, "Your Majesty, you really can't go, otherwise."

"My brother-in-law can come here tomorrow morning at the latest." Qin Ershi said abruptly, "Zhu Shi, you can stay and sit in charge."

"Your brother-in-law is coming?" Xia Shushi immediately frowned, and then nodded, "Since your brother-in-law is coming, then you should go, so as not to."

"To shut up!"

Qin Ershi took the first step to stop what Xia Shushi was about to say, and said while changing clothes, "Our people are already raising things, and it will be ready in half an hour at the latest. Brother Wei Ran, let me go with you Well, if something happens like this, someone must come to rescue us."

"Insist on going?" Wei Ran frowned and asked.

"For sure." Qin Er Shi said as a matter of course, completely unaware that this matter is not as simple as talking about it, "Don't worry, I have a helper with me, it is definitely more reliable than pig food."

"Listen to me on the road"

Wei Ran stuffed the insect repellent spray into the backpack that didn't contain many things and made an agreement in advance, since the other party was determined to follow, naturally he had to carry it.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qin Ershi did not have the slightest airs. After quickly changing into a suit, he even took out a Chinese compass that looked like a tomb robber from his suitcase, a palm-sized tortoise shell, and stuffed it with a few copper coins. in the bag.

"Are you planning to recite formulas to find a cave?" Wei Ran couldn't help teasing.

"Eat items" Qin Ershi grinned, but did not explain in detail.

"Change your shoes"

Wei Ran walked out with his bag in his hand and said, "Change to a pair of old shoes, you won't be able to walk very far with new ones, and your skin will be worn out."

"Right away!" Qin Ershi happily took off the hiking boots he had just put on, and changed back to the sneakers he was wearing before.

"Which direction are you planning to go?" Qin Ershi asked after he had changed his shoes.

"Northeast into the mountains." Wei Ran asked in a low voice, "Is the gun ready?"

"get ready"

Qin Ershi raised his finger and pointed to the green green hills shrouded in water mist in the distance, "That is Dangtong Nong Mountain, a virgin forest with a diameter of tens of kilometers, and it is surrounded by nature reserves, so our weapons must be hidden." Just hit it off."

Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded, "How many people are you planning to bring?"

"In addition to a guide, there is also a bodyguard."

Qin Ershi waved to a strong man standing in the distance, and waited for the other party to come over and introduced, "This is Brother Yang, the bodyguard I hired is amazing, absolutely one of my own."

"Hello, Brother Yang." Wei Ran shook hands with the other party politely, "I will trouble you on the way."

"Responsibility." Brother Yang smiled honestly, "If Mr. Wei has any requirements, just ask."

"What if you don't bring the guide?" Wei Ran asked along the way, "It's useless anyway."

"It's true, so I won't bring it." Brother Yang agreed with an easy-going attitude before Qin Ershi.

"I have nothing else to ask." Wei Ran said, and let go of the hand he held with the other party.

"In that case, let's go now."

Brother Yang opened the cab of Qin Ershi's off-road vehicle while speaking, "We can go to the north of the village and wait, and the supplies we need will be sent there later."

"Then let's go." Wei Ran opened the co-pilot's door and sat in without even thinking about it.

"You two can chat quite well," Qin Ershi muttered, and then got into the back compartment.

Before he could sit still, Brother Yang stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of Mo's village.

Speeding all the way through this peaceful small village, the off-road vehicle finally stopped after wandering along the dense forest in the north of the village under Wei Ran's command.

"Let's enter the mountain from here." Wei Ran pointed out the window and said.

"Why here?" Qin Er Shi asked in confusion.

"Do you see what's in the spillway at the edge of the forest?" Wei Ran asked, pointing at the rusty man-made objects on the edge of the forest not far away.

"It seems to be a truck?" Qin Ershi replied uncertainly, "There is only a frame left."

"American Dodge ten-wheel truck, one of the equipment of the expeditionary force at that time"

Wei Ran had already pushed open the car door while speaking, "You must have not carefully read the remake photo album that Soseki sent you back then. It was clearly written in it that Mr. Zhou Guochang and his party chased the large troops into Savage Mountain, and then said On the first night, I found a cave to camp."

"So we can find it as long as we follow the traces left by the large troops at that time?" Qin Ershi asked in surprise.

"It's hard to say." Wei Ran shook his head, "It's been so many years, the jungle is different every day, we have something to look for."

"Finally we have a direction." Qin Ershi was full of confidence, "Brother Yang, tell our people to bring something here!"

"Wait a moment" Brother Yang finished speaking, picked up the mobile phone and greeted Wei Ran in a language that Wei Ran could not understand, then switched back to Chinese and said, "Wait a little longer, we will be there in ten minutes at most."

"Not urgent"

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he walked to the side of the truck that had been dismantled, only the chassis was left, and even the chassis was rusty and incomplete.

He clearly remembered that it was from here that they entered Savage Mountain, and they even removed the tarpaulin from the cargo bed in this car.It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, this car is still there.

While he was staring at the wreckage of the truck secretly, Qin Ershi started warming up beside the off-road vehicle while yelling and clapping.

However, before the bastard finished the eighth set of radio gymnastics, two strong men in camouflage uniforms walked over leading two mules.

On both sides of the bodies of the two mules, there is fixed a large bamboo basket big enough for people to sit in. The bamboo basket is also filled with various food and drink supplies. Snake antenna for radio relay.

"Brother Yang!"

The two strong men in camouflage uniforms greeted in unison, and then put the fishing tackle bags they were carrying on the hood of the off-road vehicle and opened them.The Bayi bar and the spare magazine installed inside are exposed.

"Will it work?"

At the same time as Brother Yang asked, Wei Ran and Qin Ershi had stuffed a Bayi bar with the stamp and gun number worn off respectively, and then stuffed a canvas with two spare magazines and a walkie-talkie The satchel, but the object of this inquiry is only Wei Ran.

"I know how to use it. I used an AK to fight wild boars at Maozi's side."

Wei Ran responded indiscriminately, hanging the green canvas satchel loosely on his shoulder, then roughly checked the weapon in his hand and tried the hand-testing platform.

Brother Yang pointed to the two subordinates standing behind him and said, "Your Majesty, let the two of them follow?"

"No"

Qin Er Shi, who subconsciously wanted to agree, stopped abruptly, turned his head and asked Wei Ran, "What do you mean?"

"How about letting them guard here?" Wei Momo asked the walkie-talkie that had been fixed on his shoulder, "We are in the mountains, should they be able to receive the signal?"

"I can receive it," Brother Yang nodded in response.

"That's fine"

While speaking, Wei Ran unfolded the folding stock of the Bayi Gun and carried it on his shoulders, "After all, this place is free of electricity. If someone wants to follow us to gain benefits, we must be prepared."

"You said Mr. Zhou who came with you?" Qin Ershi asked subconsciously.

"I'm not too worried about him"

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he glanced at the direction of the village, and said intentionally, "There are many people there who have a more difficult life than Mr. Zhou, if they want to chase after us as a guest kidnapper or something, it will be a trouble after all.

Besides, it's easier to move around if we have fewer people, and leaving a group of trustworthy people behind is better than Xia Shushi, isn't it? "

"Then let them stay"

Qin Ershi didn't think much about it, he just waved the machete enthusiastically and asked, "Which direction are you going?"

"This direction..." Wei Ran saw that Brother Yang had no objections, so he raised his finger in this direction, and Qin Ershi immediately walked in the front, waving a sharp machete.

And Wei Ran also subconsciously helped hold the reins of a mule and walked in second place.As for Brother Yang, who was also leading the mule, he was at the end.

Unfortunately, less than 20 minutes after entering the jungle, Qin Ershi, who was walking in the front, could no longer swing the machete in his hand.

“It's really stuffy in here”

The sweaty Qin Ershi stopped and complained, reached out and took out a bottle of mineral water from the bamboo basket, unscrewed it, reached into the mosquito mask and drank it hard.

"Your body is a bit weak"

Wei Ran, who was walking in the second place, was teasing the other party, and at the same time, he flicked the leeches that landed on his sleeve nonchalantly.

"Mr. Wei doesn't look like it's his first time in the jungle?" Brother Yang, who was walking at the end, asked meaningfully.

"I have a friend who is an experienced hunter"

Wei Ran turned back and smiled, and explained sincerely, "I usually like hunting, so I learned a lot of useless things from him."

Hearing this, Brother Yang didn't care, and instead put more thoughts on Qin Er Shi. He knows Qin Er Shi's ability better than Wei Ran, and now he has begun to worry about this usual pampering habit. When did the purchased goods retreat?

After a short rest, Wei Ran took the initiative to replace Qin Ershi, who had a sore arm, and walked in the front. Under his leadership, Qin Ershi insisted on walking and stopping until the sky was getting dark. The group of them finally climbed to the top. I reached the first hill after leaving Mo's village.

Looking at the setting sun that was about to be blocked by the horizon in the distance, the group of three did not dare to waste too much time, and went down to the middle of the mountain at the fastest speed, and found a fairly flat place to set up the tent.

Compared with the need to collect firewood everywhere, and worrying that the firewood picked up was too wet to be ignited, the gas tanks and even canned food of various flavors on the mule's back this time were naturally used for things like lighting a fire and cooking. It's so easy and so much fun.

Even, when they worked together to build a luxury tent called "one bedroom, one living room", even the raging mosquitoes were kept out.

Of course, the only thing that remains the same is that they still have to take care of the livestock that follow them into the mountain, and they need to provide them with drinking water and salt bricks.

"Wei Ran, why did you think of leaving in the afternoon?" In the cool and ventilated tent, Qin Ershi, who was sore all over, held a beer and touched Wei Ran, and asked wearily while drinking.

"Leave in the afternoon, camp and rest at night. If you can't bear it, it won't be long before you can go out the next day."

Wei Ran picked a piece of pork belly from the self-heating hot pot and stuffed it into his mouth, "If you set out in the morning, you will find that you can't walk when you camp at night, and it will be hard to go out again."

"It makes sense"

After Qin Ershi finished speaking, he rubbed his feet with a sad face, "It's only been a long time, and my feet have blisters. When I just went up the mountain, my legs sprained. Aren't you tired? It's been a whole afternoon , I have never seen you taking a rest on your own initiative."

"It's okay to be tired. Tomorrow you will be so painful that you won't be able to move your legs."

Wei Ran muttered to himself, but he picked up the beer with a smile on his face, "Walk more, it will be better if you walk more! Drink some wine, drink well and go to rest early! Get some sleep and you will be fine tomorrow!" "

"Come!"

Qin Ershi didn't doubt that he was there, picked up the beer and touched him, then raised his head and drank it clean.As for that brother Yang, he is currently setting up a cordon to prevent wild animals with drunk cans.

A meal of self-heating hot pot was paired with a few cans of beer, and Qin Er Shi, who was so tired and stinky, fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.Immediately afterwards, Wei Ran also lay on the other side of the tent and snored. Only Brother Yang was left with a helpless face to clean up the kitchen waste, and he still had to work hard to watch the night alone.

Fortunately, when it was approaching midnight, Wei Ran was woken up by the alarm clock set in advance to replace the work of the night watch, otherwise, he would have called someone to come in to help through the radio.

In the early morning of the next day, when Wei Ran prepared the morning with all kinds of canned food, Qin Ershi also woke up grinning.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"It hurts, it hurts." Qin Ershi thumped his thigh and sat up with difficulty, "I didn't feel so tired playing Three Kingdoms with the two ghost girls last time."

"Try to stand up and take a walk." Wei Ran raised his chin at Brother Yang who was snoring, "Don't wake him up."

"Yeah"

Qin Ershi struggled to get up, and limped out of the tent.Just seeing his appearance of taking a step and resting, Wei Ran was completely relieved.

After slowly making a hearty breakfast, Wei Ran waited for Brother Yang to wake up, then handed the breakfast to the two of them and said, "Second King, let Brother Yang send you out after eating!"

"That won't work"

Qin Ershi refused without thinking, "The old senior was able to pass through the Savage Mountain, how many steps have I walked?"

"When we find that cave, you have to take the reporter to go again."

Wei Ran took a sip of instant coffee with milk, "You still have the strength to walk now? And you were like a buffalo on the way yesterday, at least you drank half a box of mineral water. The supplies on our two mules How can you resist spending so much?"

"Ugh that..." Qin Ershi grinned in embarrassment, "I'm not."

"If you want to help, it's better to ask Brother Yang to send you back after dinner." Wei Ran said seriously, "And you have business to do when you go out."

"What's the business?" Qin Ershi asked subconsciously.

"After you go back, you can immediately come in with the two people waiting outside, and set up a supply point at our current location. At that time, whether Brother Yang comes back to look for me, or you arrange someone else to look for it with me, we will go in the last place." Once the ones in front are too tired to walk, they can come back here to rest later."

Seeing that Brother Yang opened his mouth to say something, Wei Ran continued to add without pause, "And have you ever thought about how to transport the remains of those expeditionary soldiers once we find them? Are you counting on Xia Shushi for these things? Then Shouldn't the road be cleared ahead of time?"

"It seems to be the case." Qin Ershi nodded involuntarily.

"Then it's settled?" Wei Ran asked while holding up his coffee.

"Brother Yang?" Qin Ershi turned his head to look at the bodyguard sitting beside him.

"I'll send the Second King back, are you waiting for me here or continue on?" Brother Yang asked cautiously.

"Even if I go forward, you can catch up with me," Wei Ran said, pointing to the radio on his shoulder, "And don't you still have a hand radio?"

After a little hesitation, Brother Yang finally nodded, "I'll send the Second King out and come back to you immediately."

"I'll take a look around, and if I find anything, I'll leave a mark for you." Wei Ran promised with his usual expression.

"Okay! Just do what you said!"

Qin Ershi held up the coffee and touched Wei Ran, "I'll go back after dinner, arrange for people to bring supplies, and open up this mountain road by the way."

"Whether we can eat hot food in front depends entirely on you." Wei Ran flattered the other party without a trace.

"You said that!"

Qin Ershi patted his chest and made a promise, "You put your heart in your stomach, and I guarantee that you can eat hot and drink iced food every day!"

"Then it's settled!"

"Don't worry!" Qin Ershi patted his chest and made a promise.

After the three of them had breakfast, Wei Ran helped Brother Yang hang the bamboo basket carried by one of the mules and the supplies inside on the trunk of a big tree, and then helped Qin Ershi onto the mule, Watching Brother Yang leading the mule, he disappeared along the way he came.

"He deliberately wanted to push us away," said Brother Yang, who was holding the rein.

"I know." Qin Er Shi, who was riding on the mule, said indifferently, as if all his thoughts were on the compass he was dragging in his hand.

"Do you need me to follow him?" Brother Yang turned his head and asked.

"no need"

Qin Ershi replied without raising his head, "You don't need to be suspicious, just wait for the news. If this Wei Ran didn't have two brushes, he would never dare to stay in this forest by himself."

"What if something happens?" Brother Yang asked worriedly, "There are tigers in this forest."

"It's a work-related injury!"

Qin Ershi said without thinking, "If he can find that cave and meet us alive, then he will be my friend from now on. If something happens to him on the way and he loses his life, there is nothing we can do about it." , everyone is an adult, he chose his own path."

"You playboys are really more cold-blooded and ruthless than the other," Brother Yang said with a smile.

"nothing"

Qin Ershi waved his hand and said soberly, "If we catch up at this time, there is no way to gain Wei Ran's favor. If this is the case, there is no need to use our cheeks to warm other people's cold asses that are shitting."

"You're really disgusting." Brother Yang scolded with a grin.

"The words are rough and the rationale are not rough." Qin Ershi asked complacently, "Could it be that you like it when you shit."

"If you say one more word, do you believe that I will give you a full work-related injury?" Brother Yang stopped and turned around and asked.

"I didn't say anything"

Qin Ershi immediately acted obediently and took back what he said before. The old god lit a cigarette, lay on the mule and looked at the surrounding mountains and old forests.

At the same time, Wei Ran also left the same place, and followed his memory to speed up his steps to the foot of the mountain, and then climbed up the second mountain non-stop.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after deliberately going around in the mountains for a few times, Wei Ran followed the sound of rushing water all the way upstream. When he finally stopped, there was a small waterfall covered by bamboo forest not far away.

Tethering the mule he was leading to the tree beside the waterfall, Wei Ran passed through the overgrown bushes, and finally stopped outside the entrance of the cave with a small entrance.

However, compared with the original, the entrance of this cave has been mostly blocked by the trunks of two camphor trees planted side by side, and the tall stone tablet in the center that is two meters high and one meter wide.

Although the stone tablet has been covered with moss, you can still clearly see a row of flying and flying characters engraved on it——May: The day when the British soul returns to its homeland coincides with the time when the country is prosperous and the people are strong!
After a moment of silence, Wei Ran silently took out the anti-Japanese broadsword in the metal book, carefully scraped off the moss that grew wantonly on the stone tablet, then took out an oil bucket filled with clean water, took out a towel from his bag, dipped it in water and carefully wiped it off. Wipe it with a brush.

Gradually, the whole picture of this huge stone tablet was revealed, revealing some red emerald ore belts mixed with the material of the stone tablet itself.

The red emerald ribbon, which was only half a centimeter thick but slanted across the entire stone tablet, looked like a splash of blood under the setting sun, which was extraordinarily dazzling but full of infinite hope.And that row of big characters seemed to be engraved into the bones, making people more and more awed and afraid to look directly at them.

Silently, he carefully cleaned up the altar at the foot of the stele, which also seemed to be carved from emerald ore. Wei Ran picked up the three celadon bowls that almost grew together with the tree trunk, cleaned them carefully and placed them on the altar again, and then He also took out the British army kettle from the metal book, and filled the bowl with the local cannon wine that Tan Shouzheng had been thinking about back then.

"Everyone, young and old, drink first."

Wei Ran put the kettle on the altar, took out the latest bamboo basket and was busy setting up a stove and burying the pot, while muttering to himself, "I'll make oil tea for everyone, and when everyone is full, everyone will eat it." Get ready, after so many years, it's time for us to go home!"
