Boss Hu has been a bandit in Minshan for 35 years. In fact, Boss Hu is just 35 years old this year. He was born in a family of bandits, and from the time of "I Daqing", his grandfather's grandfather, their family has been engaged in this very promising profession.

On this day, Boss Hu stayed in his cottage, a temple built on the mountainside. I don't know when this temple was built, anyway, since Boss Hu can remember, this temple has been a bandit's den. Now life is not good, even the bandit family, there is no surplus food. Boss Hu and his brothers have not lived a good life of eating meat in large pieces and drinking wine in large bowls for several months.

In the past, there were still some caravans coming and going near the cottage from time to time. At that time, the caravans passing by this road basically had to send a sum of money to Hu Boss to buy the road. So at that time, Boss Hu's life was really good. But things have changed recently, there are still caravans on the trade routes, but there are fewer and fewer small caravans without backgrounds. And most of the teams that appeared on this trade route had backgrounds that he couldn't mess with. For example, last time, when Boss Hu attacked a caravan selling tobacco and soil, he was shot quickly and knocked over several brothers. If it weren't for Boss Hu's quick opportunity, he would even have to explain himself. Later, Boss Hu realized that although the caravan was wearing civilian clothes, in fact, they were the ** of Yishui.

Fortunately, these ** have no intention of settling accounts with Boss Hu. After Boss Hu was worried for two months, he gradually [one ^ book ^ read ^ novel] [.[ yb][du].] It's a peace of mind. But early in the morning, Boss Hu had just woken up, and a minion ran in in a panic.

"Boss, no! A lot of ** into the mountain! ”

"What!" Boss Hu was taken aback, although he knocked over a few big-headed soldiers last time, he had to say that he had suffered a greater loss. Moreover, it has been a few months, and revenge is long overdue. How did it drag on until now?

"Go out and have a look!" Boss Hu quickly calmed down, he picked up his box cannon, and walked out, saying as he went, "Tell the brothers to pack up their things, if it's not right, we'll run back into the mountains!" ”

Out of the cottage, Boss Hu followed the minion, climbed over a mountain beam, and then leaned against a big rock, poked his head out and looked out, obediently, there was really a large group of ** into the mountain.

Although the distance is still far away, Boss Hu is naturally good-eyed, he squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and a new doubt rose in his heart.

This team is so well equipped. They all wore steel helmets, and the guys in their hands were unusual. Although they were far away, Boss Hu could still see that the soldiers were not Hanyang-made or anything like that, most of the soldiers had American-made Springfield rifles in their hands, and there were no less than eight Czech and more than 20 submachine guns in this team of more than 100 people.

"Ge Laozi! Did Lao Tzu kill Chang Kaishen's brother-in-law last time? You actually sent such a man and a horse? ”

However, Boss Hu quickly reacted, and most of this team was not going to him. Not to mention that those amazing characters would not personally escort the tobacco and soil, even if he really killed some great characters last time, it would be impossible to delay for so long to send such a small force to arrest him. This army was to be used to attack his cottage, and it was really easy and effortless. But to search the mountains and arrest people in such a large mountain, it seems that there is a shortage of manpower.

After taking a closer look, Boss Hu saw that there were still a few foreigners in this team, and Boss Hu became more and more relieved.

"It is estimated that there are a few foreign adults who want to pass by, and the government is afraid that something will happen to their godfather, so they sent such a team of people to escort them. But isn't that right? There's no road in this place, huh? Where are they going? ”

……

Bei Ye rode on top of a donkey, holding a telescope and looking around. Then he put down his binoculars and said to an interpreter beside him, "How far is this from the big cave you are talking about?" Are there a lot of bats there? ”

The young student-like interpreter turned his head and asked a man who looked like an officer, "Battalion Commander Zhang, how far is it for Mr. Bei to ask?" ”

"Come on, the guide said, after climbing the two mountain beams in front, you will be there by almost noon."

The interpreter informed Bei Ye of the situation. Bei Ye turned around and said to the other people who followed him, "It will probably be there at noon, and if it goes well, we can even go down to the cave today to have a look." ”

Bei Ye's mission this time is to investigate the bats in the caves near Chengdu to determine whether these bats can carry special incendiary bombs.

"In general, there are many caves with a lot of bats like this, and there are also a lot of snakes. Fortunately, it is now the hibernation season for snakes, and there is a lot less danger. Bei Ye added.

……

Boss Hu quietly followed the team all the way. The group made a short advance towards his cottage, then turned a corner and headed south.

"What are they doing in the south?" Boss Hu said.

"Isn't there a hole in the south? Legend has it that there was ...... back then," the little minion interjected.

"Is it for those treasures of King Zhang?" Boss Hu immediately remembered a local legend. It is said that when Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, occupied Sichuan, he hid the gold, silver and jewelry he had stolen in some caves near Chengdu. The cave to the south is said to be one of them.

"Grandma's, those foreigners, will beat us Chinese's precious doctrine. Hmph, the cave is deep, and it's hard to say if a hundred or ten people go in and can't get out. Boss Hu said, "Let's go ahead and see what is going on." ”

……

By about one o'clock in the afternoon, the team reached the mouth of the cave. It's a cave near a mountain stream. It's early winter now, and it's a bit cold on the mountain, but it's much warmer at the entrance of the cave, because it's leeward and sunny, and there's no heat coming out of the hole. The semi-circular opening of this cave is quite large enough to accommodate three people walking hand in hand side by side. But after a few steps, you'll notice that the cave is starting to shrink and turn down at an almost vertical angle.

Bei Ye picked up a stone and threw it down. It was a long time before the sound of the stones hitting the walls of the cave and the sound of the stones rolling rapidly afterwards could be heard.

"There was a vertical section of about 35 to 40 meters, and then it was a very sharp downhill." Bei Ye put away the stopwatch in his hand and said, "This is a very good place to go to the net." In the future, when we want a large number of bats, we can easily catch a lot of bats by waiting until it is almost dawn and placing a net here. However, it is also important to note that the net cannot be filled too much at a time, and the proportion of bats injured or even killed will be high if there are too many. We just need healthy bats. ”

He found a stone and sat down, and said, "It's just that there are many bats in this cave, and we'll have to go down and see if there's a rest." ”

If you want to know how many bats are in the cave a few months earlier, you don't need to really go down at all, wait at the entrance of the cave, and wait until evening, and the bats in the cave will go out to feed. When the time comes, stay near the entrance of the cave and you can see how many bats fly out. However, the bats are now hibernating, so going down into a hole is the most reliable way to know exactly what they are doing. And for cave lovers like Bei Ye, seeing a cave and not going down to go around, it seems to be a little unenjoyable.

……

Boss Hu had been staring at this strange team from a distance on a hill far from the entrance of the cave. He saw the group reach the entrance of the cave and stopped there. They stopped there until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Then Boss Hu saw a few people carrying a small box out of the hole.

"What's that?" Boss Hu's eyes widened, "Did they really dig up those things?" But they just came out with a small box, and according to legend, there are definitely more treasures in it. ”

At this time, the weather also began to change, and dark clouds began to gather from all directions. It looked like it was going to rain, and there was a faint sound of thunder. This kind of weather is extremely rare in the Minshan Mountains in early winter.

"What the hell!" Boss Hu said in his heart, "Why is the weather so weird? Could it be that the 'Eight Kings' are angry? ”

Heavy rains in the mountains often cause chaos such as flash floods and mudslides. So Boss Hu decided to change to a safer place.

Just as Boss Hu was changing places, the team also left the entrance of the cave. The place was too low, and it was obviously unsafe when it rained. Eventually, the team found a small platform halfway up the hill and stayed.

When the team set out, it was expected that it would not be too late to return that evening. So I'm ready for camping too. The soldiers began to erect tents aided by the Americans, and the officers began to arrange open and secret sentries for the vigil. A few of the Yankees were eating dinner and began to discuss what they would see when they went down to the cave.

"Master Bei, have you been to many caves like this?" Cowell asked indistinctly as he shoved a chunk of Spam into his mouth with a look of disgust.

"I've been to some, but it's not very common to have so many caves with such long vertical passages."

"Actually, it's not the vertical passages that make me feel bad, it's the damn big shitholes! Those damn bats, they don't care about hygiene at all, they just hang there for hundreds of years like a day of dung, damn it, that smell is really ...... Vomit...... ...... vomit"

"Actually, the smell is pretty good. After all, it's winter. And you also brought a gas mask! I was in the Philippines back then......"

"You're still finished?! People are still eating! ”

So a few people fell silent, and at that moment, the sound of rain falling on the tent was heard, and it was raining heavily.

"You say, are these bats physical?"

"We'll have to take it back and take detailed measurements, but I think it's a little bigger than the guys in our lab."
