After A Chong squatted there for a while, he beckoned to let the people behind him pass.
There was a platform a few feet square where he stood. Zi Yang slowly squeezed past, and A Chong saw Zi Yang coming and stepped forward to make room. On the cliff next to him, a recessed wall suddenly appeared, inside which was "sit" a skeleton, and a rusty spear stood beside the skeleton.
Zi Yang was stunned. Why did a skeleton appear on the mountain wall with almost no foothold
Judging from the chisel marks on the pit wall, this concave wall, which is only one meter square and half a meter deep, was dug out artificially-who would bother to dig such a deep pit on a steep cliff? Is this some kind of strange funeral ceremony
The old Wang, Su Rui and others from behind also caught up, and several people squeezed in this area of less than one square meter and looked at each other.
Asgen grabbed the spear and fiddled with it skillfully, looked at the rusty bolt and scope, and said with confidence: "This is a Japanese 38-type sniper rifle. Judging from his equipment, this person should It’s a Japanese sniper."
Everyone was stunned. Could this be a Japanese soldier who stayed here during World War II? Wouldn't it have "stayed" here for more than fifty years
There are only a few strands of clothing left on this "sitting" skeleton. It must have been decayed and blown away by the mountain wind. The remaining skeleton is relatively intact, and it seems that there are no wounds on the body. The direction it faces is the east, is it dying to stare at the distant hometown
Lao Wang poked his teeth and asked, "Xiaosu, you are more familiar with history. What is the chance of Japanese soldiers appearing in this place where birds do not shit?"
Su Rui hesitated and said: "Before the end of World War II, the Soviet Union organized 1.5 million troops to attack the Japanese troops stationed in China. The Soviet troops crossed the east, north, and west on the front of more than 4,000 kilometers. The Sino-Soviet and Sino-Mongolian borders. At that time, the Japanese army that occupied the northeast was the Kwantung Army known as the "flower of the imperial army." Although it was at the end of the war, the Kwantung Army organized a large number of troops to deploy defenses along the Sino-Mongolian border.
Because of the huge disparity in strength, many Japanese soldiers tried to resist to the death with the belief in "Jade Broken". In addition to establishing permanent strongholds on the defensive line, they also set up many individual fortresses along the routes through which the Soviet army may pass. These individual fortresses are often built in difficult terrain. They are guarded by death squads and carry dozens of them at once. With the provision of the sky, one person can prevent the entire company from attacking with a single shot.
The skeleton in front of us is probably a Japanese Kwantung Army who is'jade broken'. He ran out of all the supplies here, probably starved to death alive. "
"It's a pity that he didn't wait for the Soviet army until he died. The Kwantung Army only resisted for a few days before being defeated by the Soviet army." Zi Yang picked up a few rusty bullets from the ground. One shot after one shot.
"So, what does this mean?" Pharaoh became impatient. "A little jap who died on a cliff, what's to worry about? It will be dark if we don't hurry! We can't count on this. Camp in the nest, right?"
Zi Yang watched Su Rui squatting there thoughtfully, and felt that it was not a problem for a group of people to stay on the cliff like this, and said to A Chong, "Let’s go ahead. If it goes well, maybe we can reach that place before dark. hillside."
A Chong nodded, grabbed a rock protruding next to him, turned over and stepped onto the steep cliff, acting as agile as a leopard.
Lao Wang watched A Chong walk on the rugged mountain wall as if he was walking on the ground. He clicked his lips enviously and said, "If I have half the light work of Brother Chong, Lao Tzu will be able to make great achievements in society!"
Zi Yang squatted and said, "Cut, if you have such a light work, there is a high chance that you will be a flower picker."
Lao Wang glanced at him: "You're so promising! What's the future of the flower picker? My ideal is to be a thief, okay? I specialize in stealing bank vaults, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and saving the world's poor. ."
"You're almost robbing the treasury. It's a technical job, and you can't think about it."
"I can take you with you, aren't you known as the Kotou Sergeant?"
"roll!"
In the quarrel, they were on the "road" again. After climbing a mountain ridge, Zi Yang looked back. Asgen’s subordinates were no longer in sight. This also meant that if something unexpected happened, they could only On your own.
In the evening, the temperature dropped sharply and the mountain breeze blew up on the mountain. The rugged cliff itself was difficult to stand firmly, and the cold wind shook their bodies, and they were in danger of falling off the cliff if they were not careful.
This difficult climb is really miserable. Zi Yang's hands were cut several times by sharp rocks, and the down jacket was also torn, revealing the white feathers inside. The situation of the other people was not much better. go with.
Lao Wang looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Fortunately, it's not snowing for those who are riding horses, otherwise this day will really be impossible!"
Just after speaking, a huge snowflake floated on his shoulder.
"I'll go to your crow's mouth. Your mouth is really open. When you say something bad, why don't you look forward to a spaceship?" Zi Yang cursed endlessly behind him.
Lao Wang happily said: "The spaceship's wish is too big to be realized, so I want something more realistic, such as braised beef, whole lamb banquet, stewed pork vermicelli, fried lotus root slices in sauce..."
Zi Yang was dizzy while he was crawling, suddenly heard this big bunch of delicious delicacies in his ears, the saliva came out, and the intense hunger in his abdomen suddenly came...
"Brother Wang, can we discuss something, you close your mouth and let me have a quiet drink of northwest wind."
…
When the sky was getting dark, they finally climbed the steep mountain ridges and came to the hillside where the coordinates were located. This section of the mountain is relatively gentle, which is a good retreat for them. Everyone is walking slowly down the mountain while eating dry food and drinking water.
In order to prevent sudden poisoning, they still divided into several echelons or moved forward, and A Chong still walked in the front.
The hillside of several hundred meters will soon come to an end. A Chong stopped on a protruding huge rock. A dozen meters below is the ruins of fallen trees, which can be seen vaguely. A square hole.
Su Rui looked at the GPS in his hand and said with a little excitement: "This is it, the coordinates are below!"
Zi Yang stood on the high platform and looked into the distance. A few kilometers away there seemed to be a few sparks, which should be Asgen’s men who had camped over there.
Zi Yang couldn't help sighing in his heart, this section of the journey was only a few kilometers, but they took a long time to arrive. Although the journey was difficult and dangerous, fortunately everyone arrived safely.
Lao Wang stretched his neck out and looked at the following: "Brothers go? Go down and fish for the baby! What are you doing while standing? Drinking the mountain breeze?"
A Chong shook his head: "Can't go down."
Following the direction of his fingers, I saw a few green and gray animal bones in the ruins, fused with the surrounding dead wood. At this time, the sky was dark and it would be difficult to find if it were not for excellent eyesight.
Su Rui frowned and said, "This hole happens to be in a low-lying place, and it is on the dark side. It would be very dangerous to go down rashly."
Lao Wang patted his thigh and sighed, "Wocao, it's hard to ride a tiger now, Lao Li, your plan is shit! Why didn't you think of this before? Why didn't you bring a sheep to try the poison? We still have so many cows left. The sheep!"
Zi Yang glanced at him: "You cannons are fired from behind, this road is even dangerous for people to come over, do you still have the ability to carry a sheep?"
Lao Wang struggled with his eyes and argued with him: "It's okay for Lao Tzu to carry you over, let alone carry the sheep! Why don't you ask Lao Tzu in advance? How do you know if Lao Tzu can carry it?"
Obviously, Lao Wang is inquiring about the crime. You, Lao Li, don't discuss anything with Lao Tzu. If you don't treat me as a dish, how is it now? Are you resting
Zi Yang also knew that he was in the wrong, but how could he be willing to admit defeat before Lao Wang, his eyes rolled and said: "That sheep is also a life, you know that the mountain is dangerous, you still send it down? I didn't see that one. Pile of bones?"
"The bones are all growing tree buds. I don't know if they were decades ago. Maybe they are not dangerous anymore?"
The two quarreled tit-for-tat, the others were silent, and no one cared about them.
Before, everyone only thought of climbing this hillside to reach the coordinate point directly, but no one really considered the following situation.
Now the ruins were ten meters away from them, but no one dared to take a step forward.
Su Rui squinted his eyes to make a careful identification. In the hole under the ruins, there was a piece of dark red wood, which seemed to be the corner of a huge wooden door. He knew that this was probably the tomb of Emperor Zhenwu mentioned by Mo Lao San.
What happened after Professor Zhang and Mo Lao San when they robbed the tomb that suddenly turned the entire valley into a place of death that no one can approach. It is really puzzling.
Watching Asgen walking back and forth nearby, the old Wang seemed to be looking down for something. He couldn't help but mocked: "Big brother, did the wallet fall?"
Lao Wang is this stinky temper. Once he is unhappy, he likes to vent his anger at the people around him, catching those who stalk them, and whoever touches them.
Asgen seemed to be more restrained. He did not quarrel with Old Wang tit-for-tat like Zi Yang did. Instead, he continued to lower his head and search, and slowly went further and further. Zi Yang was also affected by his weird behavior. Attracted, the two of them looked at each other with dumbfounded expressions, and even forgot the quarrel.
"Here! Come and see!" Asgen suddenly crouched in the distance and shouted.
There is a discovery!
Everyone rushed to him and saw that a circular hole appeared on the ground under Asgen's feet. The hole is less than one meter in diameter, the wall is smooth, and the inside is dark and invisible.
"This, is this a hole dug by a field mouse?" Old Wang looked at Asgen in wonder.
"This is a thief," Asgen said affirmatively.
"Not necessarily? Could it be the hole dug by the Japanese soldiers?" The old Wang thought of the corpse on the cliff, and suddenly his brain opened.
Asgen grabbed a handful of dirt next to the hole and smelled it. "From the surrounding soil and ballast, it was not more than three months since the thief was dug out."
It's amazing! Smell the soil and calculate the time.
Zi Yang suddenly understood why Asgen behaved so weird just now.
Asgen is also an expert in tomb robbers. He wanted to find a suitable place for digging a hole around him. He didn't expect that someone had already stepped forward!
The question is, who dug this hole
