Pick up treasure

Wang Ding was not in a hurry to arrange payment, because it was already very late, and if she asked Bi Yue at this time, she would probably be so asleep that she dreamed that she was playing.

"Come on, Brother Ang, let's go to each room and sleep separately. By the way, I'm going hunting tomorrow, and you prepare two good guns for me."

"No problem." With the cooperation, Wu Gang paid more attention to Wang Ding.

Wang Ding stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, turned around and walked towards the wooden house where he was sleeping. He didn't intend to remind Wu Gang of the location of the emerald veins yet.

After the contract was signed, Wang Ding would suggest that Wu Gang re-survey along the various mountains, but he would not give specific directions. He would rather spend more money than Wang Ding to be that living fairy.

Just after six o'clock the next day, Wang Ding got up from the bed, walked out of the wooden house, and was immediately attracted by the scenery outside.

At this moment, there was just a ray of light in the sky. At the foot of the mountain, there was a white mist everywhere, covering the whole Savage Mountain in the morning mist. The milky white thick fog was flowing and receding. Mountains and trees loomed.

After about ten minutes, the fog gradually dissipated, the sky was blue, and you could see the undulating Savage Mountain, the rugged mountain road, and the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, which seemed so mysterious.

Someone in the mine protection team has already got up to make breakfast. The rising smoke and the fog that has not yet cleared are intertwined, which is a bit of the rural life.

After breakfast, Wu Gang was ready to go up the mountain, but before going up the mountain, he had to make arrangements for Wang Ding's hunting. If Wang Ding, Qian Le and the others went alone, he would definitely not be at ease.

Wu Gang introduced a burly man in a dark green camouflage uniform to Wang Ding. Wang Ding knew that this man was the captain of the mine protection team. He had a chat with him while drinking yesterday. He was a master with three wives. .

The captain took two AK submachine guns that were [-]% to [-]% new, and two heavy army green bullet belts, and handed them to Wang Ding and Qian Le.

After Wang Ding put the bullet belt on his back, he jumped a few times on the spot. It didn't feel like it affected his activities. In terms of physical fitness alone, he was probably stronger than Qian Le. After all, Wang Ding often used aura to help him sort out his body when he was fine. , It's all a massage, the feeling of spiritual energy entering the body is very comfortable.

Counting the magazines carried by the submachine gun itself, there are a total of five magazines and 150 rounds of 7.62mm bullets. Wu Gang's shot is quite generous. According to his thinking, these bullets are enough for Wang Ding to enjoy the gun.

After explaining the work, he brought four people over, and the other mine guards looked at them enviously. You know, hunting in the mountains is a good job, and it is better than standing guard here. The guards are much more comfortable.

A group of five people walked along the foot of the mine to the Savage Mountain in the north.

There is an old saying that Wangshan ran dead horses. Wang Ding did not have this experience before, but now he feels it. Standing in the camp and looking at Savage Mountain, it seems that he is right in front of him. But after walking for nearly an hour, he came To the edge of Savage Mountain.

And the road in this hour is only four or five miles away, and this is still when everyone has quickened their pace without going up the mountain.

At this time, Qian Le's face also became serious, and he found that his previous calculation was a little bit wrong.

According to Qian Le's calculation, there is still about [-] kilometers of mountain roads from here to the location of the treasure. If this group of people wants to go, it may be a one-way trip, and it may not be possible to arrive in four or five hours.

In the morning, Wang Ding had already discussed with Qian Le. After entering the jungle, he would find an opportunity to get rid of the people who followed them. Wang Ding also knew in his heart that Wu Gang would not let the two of them enter Savage Mountain. , the legend here is not so beautiful.

Qian Le scratched his head a little. He thought the itinerary was too simple, and he also made a common sense mistake. The distance on the scale of the map is very different from the actual one, especially in the mountainous environment.

Many of the reasons why the Kuomintang always lost battles in the past lie in this. That bald-headed Jiang often did such things, sitting in the war room by himself, pointing fingers at the map, and exhausting his troops.

It's just that Jiang didn't know that the straight-line distance on the map, in reality, may have some mountains or rivers and streams, which are obstacles that hinder the troops from moving forward quickly.

At this time, the six people had already entered the forest. The dense tropical jungle broad-leaved trees blocked more than half of the light from the sky. Only the sparse sunlight penetrated the branches and shone on the ground.

There was also a thick layer of fallen leaves and rotten branches on the ground, and it was soft and not very hard to step on, and there was a "rustling" sound.

The forest is very quiet, except for the footsteps and conversations of a few people, there is no other sound. The mine guard leader is very familiar with this place, and the place where Wang Ding and others are walking now is actually a small road, which is not really a road. , It's just that they often go away for a while.

After walking through the tall and dense forest for more than half an hour, the team leader of the mine guard stopped and said, "Let's go northwest, there is a mountain depression in front, there may be some animals in it, the wild boar yesterday was there Called there..."

"Ah, Captain Liu, you go over first, I really can't hold on anymore, I have to sit down and rest, and rush over immediately." Wang Ding and Qian Le made a panting appearance, and the posture seemed to be exhausted in one breath. If he couldn't breathe anymore, the captain looked back and couldn't help frowning. This is a long way, and it became like this.

"Okay, take a rest, Xiao Li, you stay with me, let's go to the front to explore the way first."

Xiao Li stayed alone and said that he was with Wang Ding and Qian Le, but in fact he didn't want them to run around.

"Brother Li, what kind of animals are there in the valley?"

Wang Ding is not panting so badly now, let me ask.

"That's not sure. I met two wild boars last time, and one ran away. In addition, black bears sometimes run there to drink water. By the way, I saw a tiger once, but we rushed to the place , the tiger ran away without a trace, what a pity..."

Xiao Li and the others have been stationed here for almost half a year. They often hunt on the edge of Savage Mountain, and they have been to that col many times.

"Hey, it's all because of our poor health. We're out of breath after running for this distance. How about this, Brother Xiao Li, you can follow along. We'll go over after a short rest..."

Wang Ding is now in a hurry to dismiss this person.

"That can't be done. If you get lost, Boss Wu will skin me..." Xiao Li shook his head again and again,

"Brother Xiao Li, don't you look down on the two of us? We both have guns in our hands, and we can still get lost. How about this? Every four or five trees, you mark the trees with military thorns, so We don't know..."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up, he picked up a military vehicle and chopped a tree, saw a mark and white juice on the trunk, turned his head and said to Wang Ding: "Okay, you have a good idea, Then you can find it according to this mark later, in fact, it’s fine if you don’t make a mark, it’s just in the northwest direction..."

Xiao Li is a bit of a rough-headed person. When he enters this forest full of towering trees, he is not an old horse or someone who has received special training. The ghost knows which direction the northwest is. He just wants to find the sun to identify the direction. Find a hillside with few trees.

"Hurry up..." Xiao Li turned around and shouted to Wang Ding while chasing to the place where the captain and others were. He didn't have any idle hands, and chopped a knife at the tree along the way with his military stabbing hand.

"Understood, don't worry, I will shoot if something happens..."

Wang Ding replied loudly, his body had already stood up, and Qian Le beside him had already taken out his small knife, using the compass on the handle to identify the direction.

"Brother Ding, our direction is true north, go here..."

After Qian Le recognized the direction, his body rushed out first. Wang Ding's body was like a flexible ape, and he ran out in an instant. You know, they have to get rid of the mine guard team leader as soon as possible.

The two of them were very fast, and they were able to run in this dense forest full of towering trees. The two of them ran a lot, but sometimes they couldn't hold their feet, and they often bumped into the trees in front of them. On the road, within a short meeting, Wang Ding's camouflage uniform was torn several times, and his face was also scratched with bloodstains by branches.

While Qian Le and Wang Ding were running, the military thorns in their hands also made marks on the trees they came from from time to time, but the marks they made were very inconspicuous. Even if ordinary people find it, they will only recognize it as a tree The skin falls off naturally.

After running for more than ten minutes in a row, Wang Ding and Qian Le finally felt relieved. This was considered to have escaped the pursuit of the mine guard captain.

At this time, the trees in the forest became more and more dense, and the originally flat ground also had a slope, but it did not affect the speed of the two at all, except that the sound of breathing became a little louder, and the two of them walked Like a machine that doesn't know how to get tired, its legs are constantly swinging, walking through the dense forest like an ape.

After hitting the tree several times in a row, Wang Ding also learned to be shrewd. When running, he knew that he had enough energy left.

After running downhill for a while, Qian Le's body stopped suddenly, Wang Ding stopped his feet for a while, and ran forward a few more steps.

"Look at the tree over there."

It turned out that Qian Le realized that something was wrong with the tree in front of him.

Wang Ding looked at it for a long time, and found that the trees were not very tall, and they were a little slanted, and there seemed to be traces left by an explosion..."

In the early days, Savage Mountain belonged to China's cloud border, but later the British stepped in and assigned it to Myanmar. The name of Savage Mountain is due to the fact that there are dense mountains and dense forests here, and miasma is rampant. It is said that there used to be Savages infested, so this no-man's land with a radius of hundreds of miles was called "Savage Mountain".

In Burmese, Savage Mountain means "the place where the devil lives".

In the depths of Savage Mountain, there are overlapping mountains, forests as vast as the sea, continuous swamps in the woods, dense forests in river valleys, rampant wolves and beasts, and the spread of miasma and malaria. Both Myanmar and China regard this place as a very dangerous place.

Savage Mountain was known to the world only after a program commemorating the expeditionary force's combat in Burma was broadcast on TV not long ago.

At that time, more than 1 people from the Fifth Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Army overcame the Wilderness Mountain. After arriving in India, there were only 4000 people left, which were not even a fraction. Of the 43 women who retreated with the army, only 4 survived.

Savage Mountain not only buried tens of thousands of Chinese, but the Japanese army did not find favor here. There were [-] troops from three divisions of the Japanese Army who disappeared here and never came out of the mountain.

It can be said that in this mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles, there are many bones, and nearly 1 people died here, so the two dare not take it lightly.

After inspecting the surrounding area, the faces of the two people relaxed. Then, the speed of the two people slowed down significantly, because when they got here, they had really entered the Savage Mountain. There is no entry in the middle, and the towering trees make the light in the dense forest extremely dark.

When the two continued to move forward, Qian Le had an extra long branch in his hand, exploring the road ahead from time to time, he was afraid that the dead branches accumulated over the years would form a swamp and deep pit, and it would also have the effect of scaring grass and scaring snakes.

Wang Ding saw that under the fiddle of the branches of Qianle several times, several snakes covered with patterns burrowed into the depths of the dense forest.

Due to the cover of the dense trees, the air quality in the dense forest also became very poor. After walking another two or three kilometers, Yan Fei took out a bottle from the pocket of his camouflage uniform, poured out two pills, and swallowed one by himself first. grains, and handed it to Wang Ding.

"What kind of medicine is this?

After Wang Ding put the light yellow tablet into his mouth, he asked Qian Le. The tablet had a bitter taste in his mouth, so Wang Ding quickly picked up the water bottle and took a sip of water.

"Quinine tablets, anti miasma. One one one one"

In the jungle in front of Wang Ding and Qian Le, there was a faint mist. Because it was covered by the dense trees in the forest, the miasma lingered for years.

But it is still good now. If it is the rainy season, the heavy rain will wash out those rotten things, then there is no way to stay in the rainforest.

"How far have we traveled?"

Wang Ding looked around. Except that the trees seemed to be denser, the forest seemed to be the same as when he first entered the forest, not to mention distinguishing between east, west, north, and south.

"There should still be a distance of twelve or thirteen kilometers, but it must be difficult to go further on. Brother Ding, are you sure you want to move on?"

Qian Le took out a Pagan map and looked at it for a while, his face was very serious, because he found that the compass had lost its effect here, and if he went forward, he had to rely on the sun blocked by the trees above his head to distinguish the direction up.

"Go, why don't you go, we've all come here..."

Wang Ding has been walking through this jungle for more than two hours. Apart from seeing a few snakes, the so-called jackals, tigers and leopards have not even seen a shadow. It seems that there is no danger. This greatly increases Wang Ding's confidence. , and judging by the appearance of this journey, this place must be inaccessible, maybe the batch of gold is really still in place.

The adventurous factor in Wang Ding's body was also stimulated at this time. He grew up watching Robinson's Adventures when he was a child. Now that he has such a good opportunity to go on a jungle adventure, how could Wang Ding give up? Dangerous?It seems that it hasn't appeared yet.

"Okay, Brother Ding, be careful on the road below..."

This is a dead man's skull. Before he had gone far, Qian Le cried out.

Under his feet, there was a dead man's skull. The bones in the jaw had disappeared, only the sky cap and two black eye sockets remained. In this dark environment, it looked extremely strange.

A snake with a triangular head and four colors of red, black, yellow, and white, about the thickness of a thumb, drilled out of the eye socket, seemed dissatisfied that Qian Le disturbed its residence, raised its head, and "hissed" at Qian Le "Hiss" stuck out his tongue, then re-drilled into the thick dead leaves and disappeared.

"Fuck, scared me to death..."

Qian Le's heart only felt a "dong dong" pounding. Fortunately, he retreated quickly, otherwise he really didn't take a bite, and he might lose his life.

"Be careful, Qian Le."

As they walked forward, the speed of the two became slower and slower, because the mountain gradually became steeper, and the number of snakes and insects suddenly increased. He is holding a colorful happy snake. If it weren't for Qian Le's sharp eyesight several times, he who was exploring the way ahead would have been bitten.

As for the bones of the dead, Wang Ding saw a lot of them. He could see the dead bones in the grass from time to time. As for the clothes and so on, they had been decayed for a long time, and there was no way to identify their identities. I don't know if they were soldiers of the expedition army , or the Japanese devil who disappeared in Savage Mountain.

Along the way, Wang Ding finally believed in the saying that one hundred thousand bones were buried in Huiyeren Mountain. There were several places full of miasma. Both Wang Ding and Qian Le wore gas masks. There are two more people lying down.

"Brother Ding, take a break..."

Qian Le looked at his watch. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. They walked for more than four hours, and the distance from Maobao should not be very far. There are still two or three kilometers to go, but these two or three Kilometers, it looks like it will take more than an hour to walk.

This trip to Savage Mountain was far from smooth as imagined, and I'm afraid they might spend the night in the mountains.

"Okay, let's eat something..."

Wang Ding looked left and right. This is a mountain depression, about two to three hundred square meters in size, with a forty to fifty square meter pool in the middle. There are steep rock walls on both sides. There is only a narrow path leading to the unknown front. .

Qian Le found a place close to the rock wall, cleaned up the weeds around, and then asked Wang Ding to sit down. In order to hurry up, they haven't eaten anything since morning, and now they are exhausted It's too big, I have to add it.

The food is very simple, just steamed glutinous rice dumpling rice, and the dishes are dried mustard greens and radishes, nothing special.But after eating and drinking a few sips of water, the spirits of the two slowly recovered. (To be continued.)
