CHAPTER XXXV

The telescope could already see the hill where Zhao Zhi and the others had ambushed at that time, and Edward finally believed that they had not taken the wrong path, and they were only 5 or 6 miles away from the valley. Zhao Zhi decided to rest the meeting first and sent a few scouts to search first, he was afraid that Japanese troops would appear here.

"I'm in a new military uniform, Zhao, what are you doing?" Edward, who didn't know why, stopped Zhao Zhi, who was about to slash his military uniform with a dagger. "I met the Japanese soldiers here last time, I don't want to be ambushed by them, everyone has to hide" Zhao Zhi pulled away Edward's hand, and with a few clicks, he cut out some holes in Edward's military uniform, inserted some thatch into the holes, and dressed Edward as a hairball.

"Sir, I didn't find the Japanese army, but the mines we planted before are gone, it seems that they were dug up by the Japanese army, and it doesn't look like they exploded," the machete who came back to answer the brigade hurriedly reported. What did the Japanese soldiers dig mines for? Zhao Zhi was puzzled, so he had to order Changmao, who was born as an engineer, to walk in front and lead everyone.

The original minefield was full of deep pits left by digging mines, and looking at the situation at the scene, less than half of the mines exploded at that time. Everyone followed behind Longhair, carefully passing through the minefield, safe and sound. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the hill are long gone, leaving only some broken parts of guns and bloodstained dead grass that still record the tragedy of the time.

Uncle Guo's gunmen nested on the hill step by step, providing long-range support for everyone, the range of American-made sniper rifles is much longer than that of the British, but the accuracy is not less, and the uncle on the hill is enough to suppress the area at the mouth of the valley. Uncle Guo's cat is behind a nest of long grass, smoking comfortably, Uncle Guo now likes American cigarettes, strong enough. "Uncle Guo, you say, why didn't the chief take me in?" The indignant dog hugged his rifle and nestled beside his uncle and complained.

"You know a fart, you're a rifle, it's okay if it's far away, if it's close, the rifle won't work at all. You still obediently accompany me and sleep well here" As he spoke, Uncle Guo threw away the cigarette butt, closed his eyes, and fell asleep beautifully. The bored dog just lay down in the grass, looking around with a sniper scope, playing with time.

The valley was still gloomy, and Edward felt that he had been chilling all over his body since he entered the valley. The machete said that it was because there were too many people who died in the valley, and the souls were still here and had not left, so the yin qi was too heavy. The machete was right, and after walking less than 2 miles down the mountain pass, I saw corpses, a lot of corpses. The Burmese who did not have time to evacuate at that time were all killed, killed by the Japanese army, and shot.

The darkness and dampness of the valley made it so cold that the corpses had not completely decomposed, and even the bullet holes on the corpses and the expressions on the faces of some of the corpses could be seen. "Damn, the gold is gone," Edward, with his submachine gun, widened his eyes and searched around, not a single cow with a suitcase was missing, not even a cow's bones.

The machete grinned, and led everyone to a bush, where he used his rifle to open the bush, revealing a large hole behind it. Everyone used a flashlight to shine inside, the pit was not deep, the bottom of the pit was the carcasses of two cows that had begun to decompose, and one of the several suitcases scattered at the bottom of the pit was broken, revealing a little gold under the light of the flashlight. "Gold" Edward was so happy that he was about to jump directly into the pit, but was pulled by Zhao Zhi, who was quick-eyed.

The machete took a few steps back embarrassedly, letting go of everyone's attention, "The last time I retreated, these two guys blocked the way, and I had to drive them into that pit, or if the road was blocked, we would all have to die here" "God, you're just an angel" Edward hugged the machete warmly, his mouth was full of praise, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the big pit.

Several ropes were tied to a tree at the edge of the pit, and a machete wearing a gas mask slipped down the pit with two scouts. The bottom of the pit was filled with the smell of rot, but fortunately Zhao Zhi and the others still had a few gas masks, otherwise the people who went to the bottom of the pit would have to suffocate. There were only 7 suitcases in total, and the machetes neatly tied the suitcases to the head of the rope, and then climbed up the pit along the rope.

"Ahh Edward slapped Zhao Zhi excitedly, but he didn't know what to say. "It's a pity, there are so many boxes, we only got 7, did you say the rest was taken by the Japanese army?" Edward finally thought of what he wanted to say to Zhao Zhi.

"Be content, you're just that, that's all, these are worth more than gold" Zhao Zhi grabbed a jade Buddha statue from the box and looked at it carefully. When he was in Kunming a few days ago, Yu Feng knew that the gold bars deposited in the bank were made of gold Buddha, and Yu Feng complained for a while, saying that the gold Buddha was worth more than gold bars. Now these suitcases are filled with jade Buddha statues, Guanyin or gold and silver jewelry or something, isn't that a hair?

"It's all packed in the backpack, let's get out quickly, or the guys in the camp will be suspicious" Zhao Zhi opened the backpack and filled it with the contents of the suitcase. Half of the 20-odd people had empty backpacks, just enough to hold these things. "Wait, we still have time, it's not yet noon. Let's look again, will there be treasures in other pits" Edward pulled Zhao Zhi, in a vain attempt to impress Zhao Zhi to stay a little longer.

"Let's go, let's go" Zhao Zhi shook off Edward's hand with a look of disdain, and took the lead to walk out of the valley, and the doglegs naturally followed. "Oh, you hillbillies, so many treasures are just gone, really, wait for me" Edward picked up his rucksack and hurriedly chased after Zhao Zhi, still clamoring, with a lot of momentum to say all the way.

"Don't move" Zhao Zhi grabbed Edward, who had been chattering, and raised his hand to instruct Edward not to speak. Edward, who didn't know what he meant, followed Zhao Zhi's line of sight, and his scalp was numb and his whole body stiffened with fright. A spotted python was swimming out of the grass on the side of the road, and if Zhao Zhi hadn't pulled Edward, it was only less than a meter away, and Edward would have stepped on the python. Edward wasn't sure if he could escape from the mouth of the 4 or 5-meter-long python, and just when the python seemed to be aware, Zhao Zhiyi pulled Edward and shouted "Run, don't look back"

In Edward, who was frightened and his hands and feet were cold, he dared to slow down, and spread out his two long legs, and ran away in a few arrow steps. Zhao Zhi and the goat directly nailed the two crossbow arrows to the head of the python, but the python was still churning desperately, and its thick tail broke the surrounding bushes and small trees by the roots, and there were scattered broken grass, leaves, and stubble everywhere. "Let's go, let's go" The goat pulled Zhao Zhi and left quickly, so let the python play by itself.

Edward, who had been running all the way up the hill, didn't have time to put down his backpack, but just pulled his uncle down the mountain. Edward, who was red-faced, couldn't say a word, just gestured anxiously, and the angry uncle was kicking his ass. Edward, who was kicked, was able to speak, and when he opened his mouth, he shouted like a ghost crying wolf, "Snake, there is a big snake, go quickly, Zhao is still behind" Uncle Guo As soon as they heard that there was only a snake appearing, they all laughed and lay down again. When he was in the jungle, what snake was not a dish in the bowl, who else would be afraid of that thing, especially Zhao Zhi, he ate the most snake meat every time.

As expected, after a short period of effort, Zhao Zhi and the doglegs returned to the hill intact, only losing two crossbow arrows. "Dog's day, it's good" Uncle Guo opened everyone's backpacks, looked at the contents inside, and the folds on his face were stretched, which was more than pouring smuggled goods to make money.

Zhao Zhi picked out a small pile from everyone's backpack and stuffed it into a backpack, and threw it to Edward, "Yellow hair, this is your share" Edward looked at the contents of his backpack, and then looked at the other backpacks on the ground, and looked at Zhao Zhi pitifully with his mouth in his mouth, "Zhao,

Yours is too much" The doglegs looked at Edward in unison, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but laugh and dialed another jade Guanyin to Edward with his foot, "You are content with dogs, there are still more than 50 brothers here on Lao Tzu's side" Edward quickly reached out and grabbed the jade Guanyin, stuffed it into his backpack, and then laughed loudly, "Haha, when the war is over, I will be a rich man, I want to buy a big farm"
