the knife of love

Chapter 211 Camp warehouse, stone found

Shen Chunguang was indeed hungry. He was tied to a tree pole in the sun for a whole day, and it was a miracle that he survived without collapse. He quickly ate something with water.After gaining some energy, she began to pay attention to the environment in the shed. There was no light in the shed, but the moonlight shone in from the gaps around the shed.

Shen Chunguang took advantage of the light to look around, and felt that the shack seemed very big, three or four times larger than the shacks where soldiers lived. It looked like a temporary warehouse, with many messy things piled up on the walls. Things, there are bundles of braided hemp rope, a simple small cart with wheels installed underneath, and unused chemicals similar to adhesives that have been packaged.

There are also two dark machines in the corner. The machines look strange, but Shen Chunguang recognizes that they are cutting machines specially for cutting stones.

The fuselage is very old, rusted and oily, but the cutting blades are shining brightly, indicating that the two machines have been in use.

Shen Chunguang felt strange, how could there be a machine for cutting stones in the camp warehouse?
She walked in the dark again, stepping on hard things, all of which were cut and thrown on the ground.

Shen Chunguang randomly picked up a few pieces of gravel and looked at them. They were not emeralds, but ordinary rocks.

Could it be that the soldiers in the camp also went to the mountains to mine and mine jade?
Shen Chunguang walked all the way to the back wall. There was something very high on the edge of the wall, and it was covered with a plastic rainproof cloth, as if it was covered with some great treasure.

She was just about to take off the tarpaulin when she heard the sound of patrolling soldiers walking outside the shed, with rubber soles stepping on the wet mud...

Shen Chunguang held her breath, and waited for those people to leave before she turned sideways and uncovered a corner of the rainproof cloth.

It appears to be covered with a rock underneath.

It was lifted up a little bit, and it was still a stone.

Most of the rainproof cloth was peeled off by her, and there were all kinds of stones of different sizes and shapes underneath.

Shen Chunguang was shocked, there are so many stones hidden in this warehouse, and it is very strange, in terms of her professional vision of jadeite rough stones, these stones are not worth much at all, they are very ordinary mountain stones, and the surface quality is not good enough. I know that no jade can be opened in it.

Shen Chunguang couldn't help but want to laugh, if someone in this camp is really playing with stones, or if these stones are extracted from some jade mine by Suo Mingde, then he can only pity him for his bad luck, dragging a bunch of them is worthless stuff.

Shen Chunguang snorted softly, intending to cover the rainproof cloth on the stone again, but he stumbled and almost fell down.

When he lowered his head, he saw a small stone lying at his feet, and a row of small characters were written on the stone with a black oil-based pen.

Shen Chunguang could barely see the words on it under the faint moonlight—"SU151809-11", which looked like a number specially made for the stone. What was even more strange was that the shape of the small stone in his hand was very regular, square , with edges and corners, this is obviously a stone that has been cut.

Cut into squares for what?
Shen Chunguang suddenly remembered the two cutting machines she saw by the wall just now. She always felt that the pile of stones was tricky. She climbed up the pile of stones carefully under the moonlight, and found that every stone had been cut. traces, and each piece is a square of about the same size.

There are gaps around the square, and the fingers are loose when pressed.

Shen Chunguang carefully took down the small square stone cut in the middle along the gap, and there was a hollow groove in the middle of the stone.

She seemed to think of something all of a sudden, she couldn't believe it, and she was immediately stunned.

Shen Chunguang sat in the warehouse for half the night in astonishment. The shed was bitten by mosquitoes and it was stuffy and hot. She gradually felt mentally weak.

There were patrolling soldiers walking around outside the shed all the time. She knew she couldn't escape, and she didn't intend to.

At dawn, Shen Chunguang curled up in the corner of the warehouse and barely slept for a while, and was finally woken up by the sound of practice outside the shed.

Although the Kachin Independence Army is a civilian armed force, it also has a set of strict discipline in the army.

Soldiers carry guns on their backs every day to stand guard under the "national flag" and "military flag" of Kachin State, practice, and sometimes go to patrol the "border line". As the most powerful armed forces in northern Myanmar, the mountains, dense forests and The complex China-Myanmar border has provided it with the soil to act recklessly, and the war between the Kachin government and the Burmese government has not stopped for decades.

Once a war breaks out, the victims will definitely be the local residents, but the government and military executives can obtain huge benefits from certain interest chains.

As for the origin of these soldiers, according to the regulations of the "Kachin Government", men must serve as soldiers from the age of thirteen or fourteen, and they cannot be discharged for life. Even if they are not in the army in the future, they can only be regarded as "vacation". Come back soon, and if the family is full of women, one of the two women must join the army, so female soldiers are often seen in the Kachin State Independence Army.

Soldiers generally joined the army when they were thirteen or fourteen years old through a combination of "forced and voluntary", and after several months of recruit training, they were assigned to various units. If deserters were found, they would usually end up being shot.

However, the army will distribute money and goods to the soldiers every month, which is similar to wages, and they are also paid according to their ranks. Ordinary soldiers can receive about five or six thousand kyats a month, which is equivalent to three or forty yuan. In addition, there are some beef, Necessities of life such as rice and salt.

Soldiers also adopt a rotation system, that is, they take one day off on the battlefield every day. Therefore, the conditions of ordinary soldiers in the Kachin Independence Army are very difficult, but high-level officers are different, because they can use the convenience of their positions to make profits. It is heard that many generals of the Kachin State army bought high-end villas in Yunnan, China, and sent their wives and children there to live a good life.

So the world is full of injustice.

Greed, selfishness, killing and exploitation, seem endless.

Shen Chunguang leaned limply against the base of the wall, listening to the footsteps walking around and practicing outside the shed, and the occasional sunlight shining through the cracks into the humid and hot shed, she licked her dry and cracked lips.

Shen Chunguang felt that she would die here, but a few hours ago Suo Mingde said that Guan Lue was already on his way to Myanmar. Although she didn't quite believe it, she still had some hope in her heart.

No one came to open the door until it was bright outside. The drill of the soldiers outside seemed to be over. Shen Chunguang was hot, hungry and thirsty. She stood up and stumbled to knock on the door. It took a long time before someone came over. It was a woman. Soldiers, wearing the uniform green uniform of the army, with a red cloth square scarf unique to Kachin State soldiers around their necks.

"Is there any water? Give me some water?" Shen Chunguang asked in simple Burmese, almost pleading.

The female soldier glanced at her, carried her gun and left, and came back later with a bowl of cold water in her hand.

Shen Chunguang couldn't wait to take it and gulped down the whole bowl of water. The female soldier probably felt sorry for her, so she took out a papaya from the bag on her shoulder and handed it to her.

Shen Chunguang almost cried because of a worthless papaya.

"Thank you!" She said this in Chinese, and she took the papaya without caring whether it was dirty or not. She tore off a little of the outer skin and began to chew.

After drinking a bowl of water and eating a papaya, Shen Chunguang felt better, but no one came to talk to her until noon.

Calculating the time, if Guan Lue really came to Myanmar last night, he should have arrived by now.

Shen Chunguang was inexplicably worried again. According to what she heard from Suo Mingde last night, Fan Qingyan planned to use her as a bait to lure Guanlue to the camp for the purpose of killing him.

Has something happened to him?
Shen Chunguang's heart tightened, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She was sure it was because the shed was too hot.

How could she still suffer for that man?Shouldn't she wish for him to die?

Shen Chunguang sat paralyzed on the ground, biting her fingers helplessly. Just when she was in a state of uncertainty, the door of the shack opened suddenly, and a large expanse of fierce sunlight outside brought in a hot and humid wind.

Shen Chunguang squinted his eyes involuntarily, and two Burmese soldiers came in from the outside, wrapped a rope around her arms, lifted Shen Chunguang on the ground one from the left and one from the right and took them out of the shack.

The two soldiers kept their faces expressionless, and Shen Chunguang didn't ask where he was going to take her. Anyway, she was already meat on someone else's cutting board, so why not obediently follow her until she was about a few hundred meters away from the warehouse. the woods.

The light in the woods is relatively cloudy, and the glare of the sun cannot penetrate, making people feel more comfortable.

Two Burmese soldiers escorted Shen Chunguang and walked several hundred meters deep into the woods, and finally saw a small shed, which was built under the shade of a tree, with a roof made of hay, and a few simple pillars underneath. A high platform was built with wooden boards under the shed, and two or three chairs were placed on the platform.

In front of the shed was a muddy space, on which stood several wooden stakes, iron chains, and several bundles of finger-thick ropes.

Set up a private execution ground?These "four words" came to Shen Chunguang's mind at that time.

Sure enough, two Burmese soldiers took her to a tree, picked up a bundle of rope and tied her body to the tree pole.

Do you want to sunbathe her for a long time again?
Shen Chunguang glared at the two soldiers, there was nothing new to play?

Unexpectedly, just as the rope was tied, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the entrance of the forest.

Shen Chunguang looked for her reputation, and a few soldiers-like people came towards her, followed by two tall figures.

The sun shone from the branches and leaves above Shen Chunguang's head, which was a bit dazzling. She closed her eyes a little, opened them, and finally saw the appearance of the two people clearly. The one in the yellow military uniform and hat was Suo Mingde, and beside him Standing is Guanlue.

Shen Chunguang laughed for a moment, seeing that he seemed to be all right, she twisted her body tied to the tree pole vigorously, it seemed that Suo Mingde hadn't made a move on Guan yet.

Shen Chunguang couldn't help being a little excited, Guan Lue, Suo Mingde, and several other Burmese soldiers had already walked to the front of the hut together.

"Hello..." Shen Chunguang rushed to the gate and called out.

Guan Lue stood at the wind, and when he heard it, he turned his head away and seemed to say a few words to Suo Mingde, then walked up to Shen Chunguang with his eyes narrowed...
