Chapter Twenty-Four: Huashan Gold Vault A new airfield

When Meng Si'er and the others returned to the inn where they were staying, they found that the innkeeper and his buddies had all run away. Meng Si'er was even more afraid in her heart, this was originally an inn with connections with this gang of bandits, no wonder Meng Hu and they could go directly to the top of the guest room where they lived when they came.

At dawn, Meng Si'er handed over the matter here to the kiln officials who came to take over, and took the bandits caught yesterday and ran towards the bandit cottage near the south peak of Huashan.

As Meng Si'er expected, when they arrived, the cottage was already an empty village, and all the people had escaped. Fortunately, they did not set fire to the stockade.

After eating something in the village, Meng Si'er called over more than a dozen bandits who came over together and asked them about the situation of the cottage. These people are all small minions, and the situation is very limited. However, they said that Liu Jiang had a master, and Liu Jiang was very afraid of this master, no matter how big or small, Liu Jiang often left the cottage to ask the master for advice. As for where Liu Jiang's master is, no one else knows.

Meng Si'er can't tell now whether Liu Jiang's master is a treasure hunter or a treasure protector, but this person stayed in Huashan for the treasure. This person has made a group of bandits and bandits here, and it can be regarded as a scheming effort, which shows that this person is not an ordinary person. It seems that there is no clue to this person, so I have to look for the villages on these maps.

But when I asked these people who had been in Huashan for a long time, and even some of them grew up in Huashan, they didn't know that there were still villages with these names. This made Meng Si'er a little puzzled.

"Am I wrong with the picture? No, it won't! Meng Si'er thought to herself, "The Gao family is the family that relies on this picture." Besides, whoever draws a treasure map will not draw it too obviously, so that outsiders can find the treasure quickly when they get the treasure map. At this time, Meng Si'er also understood that the difficulty of this treasure hunt was much more difficult than she had thought.

As soon as Meng Si'er saw that he couldn't find the villages on the map, he asked these bandits, who were very familiar with Huashan, to draw a new map, marking on the map where there were villages and where there were hunters. Then Meng Si'er scattered the people and asked them to ask the old people one by one if anyone knew the village marked on the original treasure map.

Meng Si'er personally led people along the way to visit. Once they met two grandparents and grandchildren collecting medicine on the mountain road, Meng Sier took out a kettle and handed it to the grandfather and grandson who were sweating. The grandfather and grandson were thirsty, drank the water and said, "Thank you!" ”

Meng Si'er took the opportunity to ask them about those villages. The old man replied, "I have never heard of such a village in Huashan. ”

Meng Si'er refused to give up the opportunity in front of him easily, this old man was sixty years old, if he didn't know these villages, it would be even more difficult for others to know. Meng Si'er said patiently: "I heard from a friend that these villages are in Huashan, it is impossible not to have them!" ”

"Huh! Come on, you guys, I know you're going up to the mountains in search of treasure. Listen to me and go back! Since I was a child, I have constantly seen people come to Huashan to hunt for treasure, but I have not seen anyone find treasure. There are many people who have lost their lives in Huashan. The old man laughed and said.

Meng Si'er didn't want to hide it, "Old man, since we are here, we can find out when we go back and go back." I haven't seen any of the villages introduced by my friends, and I'll be laughed at when I go back. ”

"It's possible that you can't find the village you said, and sometimes, the flash flood destroys the village, so everyone has to disperse or find a place to rebuild a village, it's not difficult, Huashan is so big." As he spoke, the old man suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, on the hill ahead, I have seen some dilapidated houses, which have been covered by big trees and rattans, and you can't see them if you don't look carefully, so you might as well go and see if they are abandoned villages." This kind of thing is common, some villages have been plagued by soldiers and bandits, there are many deaths, and the yin qi is too heavy, and everyone does not want to live in such a place and leaves. ”

Meng Si'er thanked the old man, and sure enough, he found an abandoned village ruins. Meng Si'er marked the address of the village on the map. When Meng Si'er and the others visited those Huashan Taoist priests, they felt even more strange, often before they finished asking, the Taoist priests began to shake their heads and didn't know.

The few people sent out by Meng Si'er found nothing after they came back. In the end, Meng Si'er decided to go back and transfer a part of the army, divide Huashan into several parts, and everyone went separately to find the ruins of the abandoned village. After searching for more than a year, I found a few abandoned village ruins. According to the address of the village on the treasure map, Meng Si'er compared it with the address of the village where he found it, and really matched several addresses. This also determines the approximate address of the treasure vault. This made Meng Si'er very happy, and when he reported to Li Zhi, he also said that he saw hope.

But things were far from so rosy, and according to the addresses of these remnant villages, they came to the south side of the west peak of Huashan Mountain. It's still too big here.

Meng Si'er ordered people to scatter and search carefully, and it turned out that he really found something.

When they went into the mountains to search, the local people advised them not to go in, saying that it was the Valley of the Dead, and there were corpses everywhere, and no one could get out if they went in. The team came back and reported to Meng Si'er.

Meng Si'er felt that something was wrong, so he personally led people into the Valley of the Dead. Sure enough, in the valley, a lot of bones were found. However, it seems that the skeletons are very old, and they are all weathered and unformed. This made Meng Si'er very happy, there were so many corpses and bones in this deep mountain, it was very revealing that the people who repaired the treasure house were all executed after they died, and the corpses were all thrown here. If so, then this is not far from the treasure trove.

Meng Si'er ordered everyone to search carefully along the valley to see if there were any other discoveries. After careful searching, sure enough, a lot of traces of the accumulation of rotten wood were found, and if you look closely, it must be a lot of traces of decay of wood with thick bowls.

After Meng Si'er finished reading the wood, he looked up at the steep cliffs on both sides of the valley, and said in his heart, "These woods must have been left behind when the cliffs were opened." ”

Meng Si'er ordered the ropes to be lowered from the cliffs on both sides, and the people were lowered from the top of the mountain to carefully search the cliffs on both sides of the valley. However, after an arduous search for more than half a year, and at the cost of killing and wounding several brothers, he still found nothing. It's been more than a year since I entered Huashan, and I spent a lot of manpower and financial resources, but I got nothing, and Meng Si'er wanted to commit suicide. He felt that he really didn't know what to do, but he didn't have the face to go back to see Zhang Zhimu.

Meng Si'er and they found nothing, but the people outside didn't know, and the person who had been spying on them didn't know. He found that Meng Si'er had organized people to search on the cliffs on both sides of this valley, thinking that they must have an accurate target. After watching them search for more than half a year, this person felt that he couldn't let them look for it anymore. If they find the treasure house and spread it, his life will be in vain.

This person is Liu Jiang's master, named Song Junyi. When he was young, he listened to the demagogy of others, and firmly believed that there was a treasure in Huashan, and spent a lot of money to buy a treasure map, and sold all his family property, and came to Huashan with silver and his entourage to hunt for treasures, but he spent all the money and did not find the treasure. There was no way, so he took someone to occupy the mountain as the king, but he never gave up the treasure hunt, and finally let his apprentice Liu Jiang be the king in the cottage and get rid of those who knew him. This Liu Jiang is just a puppet who carries out his orders. In order not to attract too much attention, they tried not to be publicized, but only robbed some passing merchants, and basically stopped robbing houses nearby. But they are absolutely not polite to those who come to hunt for treasure, and after seizing their treasure maps, they are generally killed.

This time, Liu Jiang went down the mountain with this master on his back and wanted to go down the mountain to find a way out. Because they heard that the kiln gang people were coming, they would not allow any cottages to exist. But what Song Junyi is worried about is that Liu Jiang and the others will not be able to control it after they go down the mountain, and they will expose themselves and make their treasure hunt in this life fail. So he kept following, and happened to see Meng Hu and Li Jing meeting with Meng Si'er, in order not to leave hidden dangers, he shot and killed these two people, and then, immediately set off to return to the cottage to identify the bandits, and took them to escape from the cottage overnight, and hid in a cave all the time.

found that Meng Si'er and they had no intention of leaving, knowing that they were looking for treasure, Song Junyi secretly monitored them. This time, Song Junyi felt that the opportunity to do it had arrived. decided to get rid of Meng Si'er and them.

Now the weather is already very cold, the trees and weeds are dry, and Meng Si'er's camp is in the valley, which is easy to attack with fire. That night, Song Junyi and they quietly piled firewood and grass at both ends of the valley and lit them at the same time. The fire quickly sealed the valley.

But Song Junyi underestimated Meng Si'er, and didn't know that Meng Si'er was really an old man, especially after following the kiln gang, talent and opportunity were combined to show superhuman ability. Meng Si'er had already discovered that someone was spying on them, so he also specially arranged for someone to spy on Song Junyi and them. Meng Si'er and they have an advantage, that is, they have a telescope, and when they monitor each other, they have an advantage over their opponents. Meng Si'er and the others had already discovered that there were more people who came to monitor them. Meng Si'er also saw that the location of his camp was very dangerous, because the camp and the surrounding area were covered with thatch, which was very easy to catch fire. However, there is a cave next to the camp, although the dripping water in it is very damp all year round, and it is not suitable for living, but when something happens, there is no problem in going in and hiding. Meng Si'er also arranged for someone to quietly make a door to the cave to block smoke.

So when the fire broke out that night, Meng Si'er and the others quickly hid in the cave and closed the door to avoid the fireworks. The person was not injured. When it was dawn, Song Junyi led people to the valley, thinking that they would see a pile of charred corpses, but they were greeted by a burst of bullets. Thanks to Song Junyi's martial arts, he ran away with three people. Meng Si'er knew that if she let this person go today, it would be difficult to catch him again. Therefore, he chased after him with more than two dozen people.

After chasing for a day, Meng Si'er and the others blocked Song Junyi and them in a very narrow valley. Meng Si'er didn't want to rashly lead people to the very narrow valley, shouting to persuade them to come out and surrender. Song Junyi and they have an advantage, the valley here is very narrow and hard to rush inside, needless to say that Song Junyi uses weapons such as bows and arrows, even if he drops stones, it is easy to injure the attackers. Meng Si'er saw that it was not early, if it was dark, the opponent with good kung fu would definitely be able to escape.

At this time, someone around Meng Si'er said: "Head, let's learn from them to attack with fire!" ”

Meng Si'er saw that it was a good idea, so he asked everyone to chop a lot of firewood and grass, pile it in the valley and set it on fire. This valley is even narrower, and it is still dead inside, and the fireworks rushed into it along the narrow valley, and Song Junyi and the others inside did not expect their methods to be used against themselves by their opponents. It was impossible for them to come up with it, so they had to climb up the cliff desperately, but soon they were caught in the blazing flames on their clothes, and then fell to the fire and burned to death.

The fire burned in the middle of the night, and Meng Si'er and the others watched from the campfire outside the valley. After daybreak, the fireworks and heat waves in the valley were not so hot. Meng Si'er went into the valley to check the situation. When Meng Si'er saw the four charred corpses, they knew that the opponents were all here.

While examining the corpses, Meng Si'er tripped over a tree stump. Unexpectedly, this stump was very rotten, and it didn't have any impact on Meng Si'er. But Meng Si'er didn't let this go, he came back and took a closer look at the stump that tripped him, and he saw that this was not a stump, but a wooden stake buried in the ground, but it had been too long, and the stake was rotten terribly. Because the stump won't be so neat. Meng Si'er asked people to clean up the ashes that had been burned here. They found that there were still traces of buried wooden stakes. Meng Si'er had a premonition that the opportunity was coming, someone was burying wooden stakes here, just building a shelf here, and doing some kind of construction. Otherwise, no one would have built a shelf in this barren mountain and wild place.

Meng Si'er ordered all the people to be transferred here, braved the cold wind to put ropes from the mountain, and carefully searched and checked the situation on the cliffs here.

Perhaps because of his sincerity, Meng Si'er finally heard a brother hanging halfway up the mountain shouting: "Head! Find a cave. At this moment, Meng Si'er's tears almost flowed out.

When the brother was put down, the brother said, "There is a hole in the mountainside, and there is a big stone gate in it." I couldn't get in because I was hanging. ”

Meng Si'er held his hand and said, "It's right not to go in, if you let go of the rope, it won't be safe." Now we're going to build a shelf, a wooden shelf where we can carry all the tools. ”

Set up a shelf along the cliff, Meng Si'er and they worked for more than half a month. After the shelf was set up, Meng Si'er and the others climbed the ladder to the cave on the mountain rock, and not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a big stone gate. Meng Si'er waved his hand, and a few people went up and couldn't push open this stone door. Meng Si'er didn't let them do it, carefully checked the ornaments outside the door, found a mechanism, opened the mechanism with a probe, and the big stone door was pushed open very easily. Entering this cave and shining a flashlight, Meng Si'er looked at the cave and saw that there were still several stone doors in the cave. However, all the cracks of the stone door are sealed with lime glutinous rice clay, although the years have been long, the lime has been peeled off, but it can be seen that the original seal was sealed through several layers, the outside fell and the inside is still there.

Meng Si'er tried to open a stone door, and there was another layer of stone doors inside, filled with charcoal between the first layer of stone doors and the second layer of stone doors. The inside stone door is also sealed with lime glutinous rice clay on the outside. This keeps the inside of the stone door very dry. The wooden crates inside the cave are also very well preserved.

Meng Si'er opened a wooden box with a seal, and the seal turned to ash when touched, but inside the box was a golden brick. What made Meng Si'er feel strange was that each gold brick was marked with four characters in Mongolian and Chinese characters. There are four characters on the door and many places inside this cave.

Meng Si'er concluded that this must be the No. 4 Treasury of the Mongols.

Here, Meng Si'er realized that the dead cave cultivators were deliberately pulled out far away, away from the cave entrance, so as not to expose the location of the cave entrance, and the logs in the valley over there were also transported over.

It is likely that the villages on the treasure map were also wiped out by the Mongols, so none of them are gone. Because such a project cannot be completed in a short time, it must have attracted the attention of the surrounding people. It is also easy to explain.

Meng Si'er didn't touch the gold here. He immediately ordered the entrance to the cave to be sealed, and he personally returned to the kiln to report the matter. Then he returned here with Lu Chengxiang and transported the gold back to the kiln in two parts.

Listening to Meng Si'er tell the story of this treasure hunt in one breath, Zhang Zhimu said: "This mission is really difficult for you. But I think the kiln gang is your luck, you are a lucky general! In the future, you can make a movie on its own for this mission. I have all the names in mind, and it's called "Huashan Treasure Hunt". ”

Listening to Zhang Zhimu's praise, Meng Si'er was also very happy and said, "Oops! We have a lot of delays for the sake of this gold. Didn't take part in several battles. It's a bit wronged! ”

"If you're done resting, join the work of the gingers. This group of theirs specializes in the affairs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. You've been there, and the situation is familiar. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Ahh Too soon, we all started working on the Manchus. I thought it would take a few more years. Meng Si'er was a little surprised.

"Prepare in advance, be well prepared." Zhang Zhimu said, "We are now gathering the stars, everyone is divided, each department has a position, and the work will be launched." ”

With Meng Si'er participating in Jiang Mo's preparations for Liaodong, Zhang Zhimu was much more relieved. Because Meng Si'er had personally been to Liaodong, there were still personnel he had arranged.

Liu Yun and Jiang Jian were even happier with Meng Si'er's participation. Meng Si'er is now a legendary figure who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats.

Taking time, Zhang Zhimu and Li Yunhe came to their newly built airfield. Now the delta wing training ground has also left the shooting range and moved here, otherwise they will be carried out separately from the artillery and the test shooting.

This airfield is very wide, and it is a little farther away from the kiln than the shooting range. Several of the races have two intersecting runways, and the runway is five hundred meters long. This is requested by Zhang Zhimu, and it is used according to different wind directions.

Zhang Zhimu saw Li Yunhe's model airplane made of wood. This is an aircraft with an upper monoplane, rear triolog. The front two wheels are in front of the center, and the rear wheels are in the tail of the aircraft.

This is made by Li Yunhe and them according to the sketches drawn by Zhang Zhimu. Zhang Zhimu pointed to the plane and said: "If the propeller in front of our plane is fast enough, it can produce enough pulling force, pull the plane forward at high speed, if the speed is fast enough, the lift generated by the rear wing and the front wing will first lift the rear wheels of the aircraft, and then the speed is faster, as soon as the lever is pulled, the downward lift of the flaps will increase, and the aircraft will fly off the ground." At this time, the lifting and turning of the aircraft must be controlled by the flaps and tail rudders. When the plane lands, the plane should run as far as possible to reduce the angle, after the front wheels hit the ground, the speed slows down, and the rear wheels will also slowly hit the ground. ”

Li Yunhe said: "This plane is not used to take off, it is completely a model to look at. However, with him, everyone has more confidence in the fact that the plane can fly. We were about to make an airplane with an engine, and when the star-shaped engine didn't come out, we wanted to try to get the airplane running on the runway with the engine of a motorcycle. Look for a feeling. ”

"If you can get this kind of plane to fly, no one will want to fly delta wings anymore." Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, Li Jing's special forces can learn to use delta wings." This thing can be used as a tool for them to run from a distance. ”

"We haven't finished building the skydiving tower, we don't have a parachute, and if something happens to the plane in the sky, there's really nothing we can do." Li Yunhe said.

"The parachute thing, now we have to arrange for someone to do it. This thing is made of silk first. Zhang Zhimu said, "With the parachute, the pilot has a little comfort in his heart after going to the sky." ”

"Are our planes going to be made of wood? I think the strength of alloy aluminum is also good, and the weight is light. It is easy to process all kinds of shapes. Li Yunhe asked.

"In the future, aircraft will be made of alloy aluminum. However, the current stage is to solve the problem of the presence or absence of aircraft. We'll have a lot of time to figure out what's good and what's bad. Zhang Zhimu said.

Knowing that Zhang Zhimu was coming, Li Wei ran over.

Zhang Zhimu asked, "Have you recruited all the people in your flight team?" ”

"Most of the first batch of recruits have been eliminated, and the new students will have to report these days." "Our training facilities are also being manufactured at a faster pace. The flight team has its own dedicated runway and airport, so there is no need to crowd with Li Yunhe and his people. Don't delay each other. ”

"The first to fly the delta wing are our treasures, let them be flight instructors, and ask them to sum up their flight experience as much as possible and teach it to new students." Zhang Zhimu said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, those people are very motivated, we went out to pick out flight students, and they followed the checks very seriously. It's like picking an apprentice for yourself. "But I still set aside half of them for tactical training." In any case, it is useful to be able to fight. They are now practicing the **** training of throwing **** from the air with their hands. ”

"Huh! Li Yunhe, you better develop a ** that can be thrown from the air for them! Zhang Zhimu said.
