Ghost Valley Remnants

Standing in front of my grandfather's coffin, looking at the black and white photos of my grandfather on the mourning hall, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

My grandfather is Han Gengyan, who was born and raised in Fengtian in 1904. He has experienced many events in his life, such as the Beiyang warlords, the ten-year civil war, and the Anti-Japanese War.

Han Gengyan was born in a scholarly family. His father was a very famous juren in the local area at that time, so his father always taught Han Gengyan to read and be familiar with poems and songs so that he could honor the ancestors of the Han family in the future, but Han Gengyan was fond of poetry and songs Know nothing, have no interest.On the contrary, contrary to what his father expected, he was mischievous all day long and beat up all the children in the same age group in the local area. He is a well-known local kid king.

In 1920, with the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and after Yuan Shikai's death, the Beiyang warlords became chaotic, each occupying one side. The Feng family warlord who was vigorously supported was also doomed to his father's death. The old father who didn't like marching and fighting and preferred poetry and poetry saw his son joining the warlord. How could he swallow this breath and passed away with sadness? .

Han Gengyan was also well-known in the small detachment of the Fengtian Warlord at that time. At that time, many of the Fengtian Warlords joined the Fengtian Warlord. Most of these young men were bullied by Han Gengyan. It was very terrible. When the officer in charge of the small detachment heard that the local bully came to join, he also welcomed it very warmly. You must know that a militant is much better than a soft grass bag.

With the outbreak of wars in various places, although the Fengtian warlords were supported by Japan at that time, the military salaries of some detachments were not enough, so the Chinese had to eat some money "tomb robbery", and the word "tomb robbery" was very important to the scenery at that time. For the warlords of the moment, it became a "borrow" to control the dead. Although it sounds like something, it solved the urgent need at that time.

The army that Han Gengyan was in at that time happened to be one of the troops who had been ordered to go to an unnamed mountain to "borrow money".

Late at night, at the foot of the nameless mountain! !

"Brother Zhang, where are we going to dig a grave?" Han Gengyan scratched his head and asked the young man in front of him.

The young man in front of Han Gengyan looked like a capable soldier in everyone's impression, his face was sharp and angular, showing a sense of determination and domineering, and this man was Zhang Chen, the captain of Han Gengyan's army at that time.

Zhang Chen took a sip of the cigarette in his hand and blew out a smoke ring, "I heard from the nearby people that there should be a tomb on this mountain."

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Han Gengyan turned his eyes. He himself was very taboo about taking things from dead people, but this time because of the military salary, the superiors ordered them to find ancient tombs in their respective jurisdictions. Digging up some ancient tombs from the ancient tombs and using them as bank notes and military pay is an order that cannot be resisted, which made Han Gengyan feel a little headache.

"Let me tell you, Brother Zhang, these are all rumors among the people nearby, are they not credible? In my opinion, let's get some money from other places." Han Geng said with a slap in the face. In other words, I really dare not talk to Zhang Chen like that, but Han Gengyan grew up in the same place as Zhang Chen. When he was a child, Zhang Chen still liked Han Gengyan, a troublesome younger brother.

"Xiao Han, you don't have to worry about this. I have already asked Xiao Hu to survey the terrain. You know Xiao Hu. He and Lao Wan are the best at this. We have them in our team. Two, there is absolutely nothing to say." Zhang Chen said while smoking a cigarette, and the Xiao Hu and Lao Wan Zhang Chen talked about were not so messed up in the past. Those who want to earn money are those who are fighting against each other in the mouths of the people, but now the orders given by the superiors to the various armies can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of Hu Bang and Wan Guan.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Han Gengyan felt 1 dislikes in his heart, but there was nothing wrong with it. If he said that he would not go, it would be a violation of military regulations if he said it too big, and he would not give Zhang Chen face if he said it too small. The psychology of the team.

Before Han Gengyan could speak, Zhang Chen took a deep puff of the cigarette, looked at the sparks that were burning to the end, randomly threw them on the ground and stomped on them, "Xiao Han, in this day and age, we can't help but march out." Those who fight wars want to unify our fucking country. If there are not so many branches, how can there be any foreign thieves coming up to stir up trouble? Brother, my wish as a soldier is to do my best to unify the country, and let all the bastard foreign thieves come up to interfere. Run away, let's see who the hell is going to disturb me, brother, I know you don't want to do this business, but it's for the sake of the country, and you will come here after a while, although you don't want to, but this is also an order given by your superiors , with so many eyes watching, this violation of military regulations can’t be what I say.”

Hearing Zhang Chen's soft and hard words, Han Gengyan also knew that this time he had to go down and fight this fight together, so he nodded randomly.

The turbid clouds gradually covered half of the crescent moon with the blowing of the wind, and the woods on the mountain also made the sound of "嗄嗄" with the blowing of the wind. The only fly in the ointment was looking at the bent branches blown by the wind. Like thousands of people waving to you in the middle of the night.

"Captain, Lao Wan and I have thoroughly researched this tomb. I can guarantee that this tomb is very big. Shall we start now?" A thin young man ran over from a distance, wearing a military uniform His body completely disgraces the military uniform, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that he is not appointed to do some good business, and this person is the little Hu mentioned earlier, Hu Bang.

Zhang Chen nodded, looked at the moon in the sky, and took a deep breath, "Xiao Hu, where is Lao Wan now?"

Hu Bang smiled, "Lao Wan, that old boy is waiting at the entrance of the tomb. We have dug the robbery hole just now, and we are waiting for you to take the brothers down." It seems that gold, silver and jewelry are already in front of you.

Zhang Chen patted Hu Bang's shoulder with a smile, and then said to the forty or so soldiers behind him, "Brothers, there is a very large tomb on this mountain, there must be a lot of gold, silver and jewels, Xiao Hu and Lao Wan have already given it to us." After the road has been opened, let's set off now to lift up all the gold, silver and jewels in the ancient tomb, and the commander will definitely benefit you a lot!" After speaking, he followed Hu Bang to the direction of the robbery cave .

Listening to Zhang Chen's words, all the soldiers shouted "Okay" as if they were on a stimulant, and then followed Zhang Chen.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Han Geng sighed and followed helplessly.

Not long after, a group of people came to the side of the robbery cave, and there was already a person waiting there beside the robbery cave. I saw that the man was short and fat, about 1.6 meters seven or eight, with two mustaches on his face. If he didn't wear a military uniform, someone would definitely mistake him for a successful businessman. If he looked at his figure and didn't see his skill, who would believe him if he said he was an upside-down fighter.

When the fat man saw Zhang Chen coming, he immediately smiled all over his face, "Captain Zhang, I've already opened the robbery hole for you. When shall we go in?"

"Let's go down now, it's already midnight, and try to come out before dawn." Zhang Chen waved his hand to signal Wan Guan and Hu Bang to go into the robbery cave first. After all, Wan Guan and Hu Bang are experts in this aspect, and Hu Bang is a native without factions. Master, the Luoyang shovel is used, the technique is top-notch, even Zhang Chen, who has experienced the world, is full of praise. This inverted fight is also divided into four factions: Faqiu, Mojin, Qianshan, and Xiling For example, Hu Bang belongs to the free native master, while Wan Guan is a captain who touches gold. It is said that he is a three-generation descendant of a family in his hometown. His ancestors worked for Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, but no one knows if it is true or not.

Immediately, Wan Guan and Hu Bang went in with their backs on their backs. Zhang Chen looked at the hole on the right side of the bottom of the pit that had been dug about 2 meters high and smiled, and led everyone in with torches.

As soon as he entered the robbery cave, Han Gengyan felt a wet and cold breath sweeping towards him, and that wet and cold breath was also mixed with a slight fishy smell. If it weren't for people with a particularly sensitive sense of smell, they wouldn't be able to smell it at all. come out.

"Brother Zhang, do you smell a fishy smell?" Han Geng asked Zhang Chen in a low voice.

Zhang Chen waved his hand, "Cough, Xiao Han, there's no fishy smell here. You must be too nervous. It's the first time you're doing this job. It's okay. Don't worry, it just smells like dirt."

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Han Gengyan pinched himself secretly, thinking that he must be too nervous, how could there be a fishy smell under the ground more than two meters away, he must have mistakenly smelled the smell of mud as a fishy smell.

In this way, a group of 50 people walked in the robbery cave for about half an hour, and finally came to an open space similar to a cave. With the light of the fire, you can see that it is surrounded by fragments of stones. There are two dirt roads that look about two meters high, one is the dirt road that they walked when they came, and the other leads to nowhere.

"Little Hu Laowan, why don't you two leave?" Zhang Chen looked suspiciously at Hu Bang and Wan Guan who had stopped, but at this time Hu Bang and Wan Guan were surprisingly quiet, and the whole cave fell into a deathly silence. among.

Seeing that Hu Bang and Wan Guan did not answer his own words, Zhang Chen was not angry, but only confused. If Zhang Chen asked Hu Bang and Wan Guan what to say, Hu Bang and Wan Guan would rush to answer, but at this time, Hu Bang and Wan Guan Standing in the same place like a stone man ignoring him, Zhang Chen had to feel very puzzled, but at this time, Han Gengyan discovered the reason why Hu Bang and Wan Guan stood quietly in place like a stone man , I couldn't help dripping bead-sized beads of sweat on my forehead.
