Sure enough, Chen Yun's eyes immediately straightened, took the bronze branch in my hand, went back to the house to find a magnifying glass, aimed it at it and studied it carefully, and suddenly got up and asked me, "Where did this thing come from?" ”

I pointed to my room and said that Lao Zhong had gone to visit an old comrade-in-arms last night and got it from his comrade-in-arms, who was still in my room. Before I could finish speaking, Chen Yun grabbed the bronze branch and stood up, pushed me away and walked into the corridor.

The same story was told to Chen Yun again. After listening to his story, Chen Yun was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said to Qian Yong, "Are there still villagers in Lao Yaogou?" ”

Qian Yong rubbed his hands and said, "There are not a few left, there is no way out in the mountains these years, many fellow villagers have moved their families outside, and there are only a few old men and old ladies who care about their homeland and refuse to relocate, and now I am afraid that there are not a few people left." Chen Yun turned around and said, "This is indeed an antiquity of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and this kind of cultural relics will appear in the mountain behind Lao Yaogou, which proves that there must be a large tomb hidden in the ravine." ”

I said, "Even if there is a big tomb, it may not be the site of the Yanyang female tribe we are looking for." Chen Yun said that the Yanyang female tribe was roughly distributed near Enshi, Hubei in ancient times, and I had never heard of other civilizations.

I said okay, let's do it when we see it, without further ado, let's go now.

Chen Yun put away the bronze branch, looked up and said to Qian Yong, "Brother Yong, can you act as a guide and lead the way for us to meet Lao Yaogou?" Qianyong's dark face was full of crampedness, and he said with a bitter face I'm afraid it won't work, the timber mill has to work overtime recently, and I only took the time to accompany Lao Zhong over, and Lao Zhong asked me to tell you the history of Lao Yaogou, and I have to go back to work after I finish speaking.

Chen Yun frowned and said, "You and Brother Zhong are old comrades-in-arms, didn't you arrange a job after retiring?" Qianyong said, but it was arranged, but at the end of the year, I could only get that dead salary, my daughter-in-law was sick, and the family's economic conditions were not good, so I found a friend to help me cover the shortage, and I came out to earn some extra money......

Chen Yun turned around and walked out of the house, and soon after walked in with a suitcase, turned out a stack of renminbi from the luggage of the suitcase, handed it to Qian Yong and said, "I will give you the money for your daughter-in-law's medical treatment, you lead the way, and send us to find the place where the pit was dug and the corpse was found." ”

After Chen Yun's corrosion, which was full of the smell of capitalist copper, the old revolutionary who had carried a gun on the battlefield immediately burst the embankment, and was so moved that he had a handful of snot and tears, and hurriedly said Okay, as long as I can raise money to treat my daughter-in-law, my life will be done for you, let's go, I still have a tricycle parked outside.

Lao Zhong said slowly, going to the tomb is not a dinner invitation, not so elegant and calm, although we found the most likely location of the Yanyang female tribe, but because of the lack of equipment, it is a great loss to enter the mountain.

Not long ago, everyone had just returned from Yunnan, and they had had enough of the fright and danger in that place, and if they did not have sufficient fire support, even a whole company would be blind when they entered the mountains. A few years ago, when my daughter-in-law was not sick, the family was quite idle, I went up to the mountain and got a big bird when I was fine, and I modified a few shotguns, all of which were semi-automatic, why don't you bring them all?

Lao Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said that dare to be good, I can still trust your craftsmanship, let's go, go to your house to find a guy first!

The discussion was established, and the group went to Qianyong's house in a hurry, and Qianyong took us to the granary behind his house, pulled out a few black plastic belts in a grain pile, wrapped them in a phone bill bag, untied the plastic bag, and a few shiny shotguns appeared in his hands, and threw them into the hands of Lao Zhong and Ge Zhuang respectively, and said proudly, "Back then, the 28th Brigade of our field army was always at the forefront of the war, and I touched the gun for half my life. It took more than half a year to make three of them, and the parts on them were secretly brought back from Annan when I was discharged from the army, absolutely authentic craftsmanship! ”

Lao Zhong took the gun, picked the crosshair, carried the rifle on his shoulder, and patted Qianyong's back, "Lao Qian, your craftsmanship has not regressed, standing beside you, I feel that I am about to charge and blow the rallying horn!" ”

In order to prevent Shaogang from inspecting, Lao Zhong first disassembled these rifles, divided them into parts in bulk, and hid them in all corners of the tricycle, Qianyong entered the house to say goodbye to his daughter-in-law, saying that he had taken over the business and had to stay in the mountains for a few days, so that his daughter-in-law would not worry about it, call the old man, and let them come to take care of you.

Broken tricycle everywhere leakage, is Qianyong specially used to pull wood, a few of us sat in the back of the car, Qianyong started the tricycle to drive to the road, it took about half an hour, he drove the tricycle out of the city, along a small road turned in, the road teeth are scattered gravel everywhere, the butt hurts, the old Zhong couldn't help but scold, said why are you driving or juggling? Hurry up and give Lao Tzu down, replace me!

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Qianyong parked the car on the side of the road in the loess mound, jumped out of the cockpit and said, "Everyone, get out of the car, there is only one way into the mountain, we must march as soon as possible, and strive to enter the old Yaogou before dark, it is late that there are wolves in the mountains, and it is not safe!" ”

Avoiding the urban population, Lao Zhong didn't have so many taboos, quickly found out all the rifle parts, and quickly assembled them, three rifles, he and Qian Yong and Ge Zhuang each had one rifle, there were no extra firearms, I could only carry * to open the way, Chen Yun shared a lot of luggage, and walked at the back of the line.

The group traveled lightly and walked into the yellow mud road leading to Lao Yaogou.

Hubei is bordered by Chongqing in the west, Shaanxi in the northwest, Jiangxi and Hunan in the south, and Henan in the north.

The wasteland road is full of thorns, as if no one has walked for a long time, as Qianyong said, the residents in the mountains have already been emptied, and a barren old road under their feet runs through the entire mountain, the vast forest mountains, the forest is endless, and there are rotten mud pits piled up with fallen leaves everywhere, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will step on the empty mud puddle.

The mountains are still open here, not as high and steep as Yunnan, so it is not too difficult to walk, I follow the guidance of Qianyong, see the mountains open the mountains, see the water to build bridges, march more than ten miles, see the mountains and forests have been dark, but in front of the found a pile of collapsed mountains, submerged the old road of the barren forest, can not advance or retreat.

I hurriedly informed the large army behind me at this time, and Qian Yong accompanied Lao Zhong into the mountain to take a look, and sure enough, in the belly of the deep mountain forest, the smoke was thick, and it was ten miles away, and the rock formation that collapsed from the top of the mountain covered the road, and it was difficult to move an inch.

In the night, the firelight flickered and dimmed, alternately reflected on everyone's faces, Qianyong spread out the local map, the red pen ticked a circle on it, saying that there is only this one road into the mountain, if it can't be passed, then it can only be detoured, so that it will be delayed for a long time, the mountain in front is called Hump Mountain, originally as long as you turn over to the old Yaogou, now you can only turn around, along the hungry wolf ridge.
