Chapter 2100 Savage Ditch

"Old Hu, what should we do next? Just go back home like this? But Zhao Shucheng still lent us 10,000 yuan, so we can't go back in despair and still carry debts, right? The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard, don't you? As for committing suicide for such a small thing?"

Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just thinking about what to do next."

"What else can we do? These ten miles and eight villages have been hollowed out by the archaeological team. What else can we do if we don't go back? We can't just herd sheep and farm here to earn money to pay off debts, right? Fortunately, Zhao Shucheng gave us a lot of money this time. It’s not all spent, and there’s still travel expenses back.”

Hu Bayi said: "What are you talking about? Fatty, do you still remember what the old man in the village told us about the Kwantung Army fortress?"

"Remember, we both talked about going there at that time, but later on when you became a soldier, we dropped the matter."

As Wang Kaixuan was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Hu Bayi and said: "Old Hu, what do you mean..."

"I thought, the Japs left a lot of good things there back then. I asked the old party secretary that the archaeological team is busy excavating the ancient tombs and they don't know about it yet. Even if they know, it's not under their control. "

"Lao Hu, what do you mean? No one has found it there before."

Hu Bayi said: "We are all in the same situation now. If we don't take advantage of it, will we really go back in despair with a lot of debt?" Besides, if others can’t find it, can we not find it either? '

"My half-volume sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique was not learned in vain. It was just a little devil's trick. It was easy."

Fatty Wang suddenly became more energetic and said, "Okay, I understand." But what should Zhao Shucheng do? Shall we leave him alone? '

Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment and said: "Since he came with us, there is nothing to gain here, and we can't really let him go in vain. Let's ask him if he wants to go with us to find the fortress. , If you want to go, take him with you.”

Wang Kaixuan nodded and said: "I think it's okay for Zhao Shucheng to follow him. After all, we don't know what the little devil is hiding, and we don't understand the little devil's things at all. What if there really is something valuable? Maybe we can even protect our capital or even make a fortune.”

"I think so too."

At noon, Zhao Shucheng returned to the old party secretary. After hearing what Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan said, he nodded and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with going there. I am also curious about what is inside and whether there will be anything." If the little devil's sword has any collection value, maybe this trip will really pay off."

Wang Kaixuan smiled happily when he saw Zhao Shucheng agreeing to go with him.

Hu Bayi asked with some confusion: "Brother Zhao, where have you been during the day? Why didn't we meet you?"

"I went to the villagers' homes and found that although some old objects were handed over, there are still some inconspicuous old objects left, but their value is not very high. We can just take them all away when we return from the adventure. "

After Wang Kaixuan heard this, he looked at Zhao Shucheng in surprise and said, "Did you really find the old thing?" '

"What is this? It's normal to find it, and it's abnormal to not find it. Old objects don't simply refer to those bottles and cans, but also the wooden furniture of the past era, even tiles, masonry, All may be valuable, it just requires a pair of eyes that are good at discovery.”

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other and felt that they were still a little new to the industry and thought everything was too simple. If they had the same knowledge of antiques as Zhao Shucheng, they would not have entered the treasure mountain without knowing it, and would have had to go on an adventure.

"Then you are still coming with us?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "You can't say that. Although there are old things in this village, their value is not high. At most, they can earn back our fare. In fact, we are still losing money, so we see if we can find them in the fortress." Make up for it.”

"Okay, I'll tell the old party secretary later and borrow some horses, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."

After Hu Bayi borrowed a horse from the old party secretary, he also borrowed some tools from the villagers. After packing up, he rode out of the village early the next morning.

As Wang Kaixuan walked, he began to say worriedly: "Old Hu, are you sure?" I heard that some people were looking for this fortress in the early years, but after arriving at Yerengou, they never came out again. '

Wang Kaixuan coughed and said: 'Of course I'm not talking about the two of us, I'm talking about what if...'

"What if it is someone?"

Zhao Shucheng also smiled and said: "I don't need you to worry. When the time comes when I am really in danger, I will definitely be the first to escape. Don't worry, you can't run away from me."

Just as he was talking, he heard a dog barking from behind and a woman shouting: "Brother Hu, Brother Fatty! Brother Zhao!"

Zhao Shucheng and others stopped to wait for her. When they arrived, they saw the woman pulling the reins, stopping the horse, and said: "Brother Hu, Brother Fatty, Brother Zhao, I am Yingzi. I am from Oroqen. If the old party secretary doesn't trust you, go on your own, let me To protect you."

"Protect us, just you, a little girl?"

"What's wrong, girl? You guys can't get out of this forest at all. Besides, there's no one who wants a man."

"Is the old branch secretary confused? He can't find anyone to look for this little girl."

"Stop talking nonsense, you are already going in the wrong direction, this way!"

Zhao Shucheng and the others followed Yingzi and set off in the direction of Yerengou on horseback. At first, Wang Kaixuan didn't believe that Yingzi had to lead the way, but after walking a certain distance and entering the forest from the grassland, he found that the forest didn't look very big from the outside. But when we actually walked into the forest, it was surprisingly big, covered with leaves, and the trees were all somewhat similar. If someone hadn't led the way, we might have really lost our way.

The four people set out early in the morning and rested for a while. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that they arrived at the often-called Savage Ditch.

While it was still early, a few people started to set up camp, preparing to spend the night well and look for the legendary military fortress early tomorrow morning.

I don’t know whether it was the lazy model who pooped and peeed a lot, or the fat man was really sick, so he felt unbearable abdominal pain, so he yelled for Hu Bayi to help him, while he went to relieve himself.

Hu Bayi looked around and said, "Fat man, be careful. There might be some kind of wild beast hidden in this forest."

"You can rest assured."

Just as Zhao Shucheng and the others were setting up camp, they suddenly heard the screams of a fat man not far away.

"Ah, Lao Hu, Lao Hu, help!"

After hearing this, several people hurried towards the direction where Wang Kaixuan's shouting came from. They saw Wang Kaixuan running away in embarrassment with his pants in front, chasing a wild boar behind.

Fortunately, the hounds brought by Yingzi also caught up at this time, and immediately surrounded the wild boar and started biting them. Finally, they rescued Wang Kaixuan, who fell to the ground and was almost hit by the wild boar.

Zhao Shucheng saw Wang Kaixuan escape from danger, and then looked at the wild boar that was fighting with the hounds. He suddenly thought of something, and rushed forward with his dagger in hand. He kicked the wild boar in the leg. When it was caught off guard, it fell to its knees. Before it could react, a knife was cut from the throat to the heart. The wild boar lay directly on the ground, twitching.

Yingzi was originally ready to shoot, but when he saw Zhao Shucheng running over, he had no choice but to put down the gun, but he also disliked Zhao Shucheng for causing trouble. But when he saw Zhao Shucheng deal with the wild boar neatly, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Shucheng curiously.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at Zhao Shucheng in shock and asked, "Brother Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "What's the point? I also worked as a pig butcher in the village. Is it okay if I don't have any skills?" '

As he spoke, he looked at the wild boar lying on the ground and said with some pity: "It's a pity that I met it here. There are no tools around, and the weather is not autumn or winter. It seems that the pig blood and pig viscera will be wasted."

Yingzi said: "That's not the case. Just let Dahuang and the others eat it later."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "That's all we can do. By the way, Fatty, come and help me carry this wild boar back. Maybe in the next few days, our food rations will all depend on him."

"It's not safe to bring it back like this!" Yingzi said, looking at the wild boar that had stopped struggling.

"I know you are worried about the beasts in the forest, but as long as you deal with them here and leave only the meat, it won't be a big problem. Besides, if it really comes, it might be a good thing and we can harvest more prey. , let the villagers also have a try.”

Zhao Shucheng didn't care at all about what kind of wild beasts he encountered. After all, with Oroqen hunters like Yingzi and himself as a martial arts master, some wild beasts were simply here to deliver food.

As the sky gradually darkened, a group of people gathered around the campfire and roasted wild boar.

The fat man ate the meat and said, "It's so delicious!"

Hu Bayi asked: "Yingzi, do you know why this place is called Yerengou?" Could it be possible that there really are savages? '

"This Savage Valley used to be Pengyue Valley. It is said to be the cemetery of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom. Later, the Mongols defeated the Jin soldiers at the Black Wind Pass, and the corpses of their soldiers were thrown here. Then it was called Dead Man's Valley."

“I don’t know when it started, but savages appeared here, so it was called Savage Ditch.”

Fatty Wang asked curiously: "Have you seen any savages?"

"No, I just listened to what my father said. The old people who have seen the savages are long gone."

Yingzi glanced at Hu Bayi and said, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go pick up some firewood and add some fire later, so the wild beasts won't dare to come near."

Fatty Wang said: "Yingzi, let me go with you. Brother Fatty will protect you."

"No, you're not as good as my hound."

After Hu Bayi waited for Yingzi to leave, he inadvertently looked up and saw the moon in the sky. He suddenly noticed something and took out his compass and looked not far away.

"Fat man, do you know why this place used to be called Pengyue Valley?"

"I don't know, what's wrong? Is there something you can say?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "Fat man, even if you don't know, you can tell it now, right? Look, when the moon rises to the highest point of the valley, look up from here, do the peaks on both sides look like two Like two arms, reaching out to hold the bright moon? "

After hearing this, the fat man looked in the direction Zhao Shucheng pointed, then nodded and said, "Don't say it, it's true at first glance."

Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Yes, that's it. Why are the nobles of the Jin Kingdom of the Liao Dynasty buried here? It is because they can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. For this Feng Shui, there must be a big tomb!"

"Lao Hu, it's said in the half of your family's ancestral book."

Hu Bayi did not respond, but instead said: "Look, there is grassland to the west and Daxinganling Mountains to the north. Let's put it this way. The grassland of Outer Mongolia is like a vast ocean, and the Pengyue Valley seems to flow into the sea. A big river with this kind of feng shui is not worthy of an emperor, but it is more than enough for a prince and general."

Fatty Wang suddenly became excited. If there was a big tomb, wouldn't they have the opportunity to get a lot of antiques and make a fortune?

At this moment, Yingzi's shout came from the distance, followed by a gunshot.

"It's bad, something happened to Yingzi!"

Hu Bayi and Zhao Shucheng looked at each other and hurriedly ran towards the place where Yingzi's gunshot had been fired. On the way, they met Yingzi who was running this way.

"Eiko, was it you who fired the gun? What happened?"

Yingzi said in shock: "Brother Hu, I was scared to death. I saw a shack in front of me. I walked in and took a look. They were all savages. They were all black and rotten. I thought they were savages and let them go. There was a shot, but I didn’t see what it was exactly.”

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

While they were talking, several people came to the shack and saw corpses with bones everywhere on the ground.

Zhao Shucheng took a flashlight and looked around. It was indeed unusual. There were dead bodies one after another.

Hu Bayi looked through it and saw a cloth bag next to a corpse, and found a notebook inside. Wang Kaixuan also gained something here, a Japanese saber.

Zhao Shucheng also looked around and found many corpses of Japanese soldiers, as well as the corpses of some other people. The guy with him was even a tomb robbing tool.

The fat man came close to Hu Bayi and said, "Old Hu, why do I look like the people in this shack are not the same as the people outside?"

"Of course they are not a group. There are little devils inside and grave robbers outside. It seems that they are fighting here. Look, it's written all over."

"Can you understand this little devil's handwriting?"

"Of course, when it comes to characters, our characters are their ancestors. Half-reading and half-guessing, they are almost inseparable."

"Then tell me, what is written on it?"

Hu Bayi said: "It is said here that this group of little devils came to find the fortress, but the leader died. They wandered in the forest for many years and could not find the entrance. Later, they met the tomb robbers outside. They told the little devil that they had surrendered a long time ago. The little devil didn't believe it at all. Instead, he was very angry. After the two groups fought and all the tomb robbers were killed, the little devil couldn't accept the result, so he disemboweled himself. ”

"Then they all died like this?"

Zhao Shucheng said on the side: "Of course not. There must be people who are afraid of death and have not committed suicide. It's just that this is our territory after all, and they don't dare to go out, so they can only live in this forest." Over the years, his clothes rotted and his hair grew longer. From a distance, he looked like a savage, so there were rumors of savages. '
