||->-> Chapter 428 of the main text, Queen Mengmao

(The monthly pass at the end of the month is out again, please check your personal center and vote for the ghost curse, thank you!) ）

On the phone, Wu Jie's father-in-law continued:

"In January 1945, when the Chinese Expeditionary Force recovered the lost territory in western Yunnan and recovered Lirui, it also captured a wild man alive in Si Tomb Mountain, which caused a sensation. It is said that the savage was finally urgently called by the Jiang father and son, but the final outcome is unknown. ”

I see, Ding Ermiao and the others all nodded slightly.

Sure enough, the reader's words are well-founded, much more reliable than those folklore. No wonder, Liu Jia said that he didn't see any big tombs, presumably hundreds of years ago, they were destroyed by the Qing army that attacked the bottom of the valley.

"Then may I ask, do you know who the owner of the four tombs guarded by the savages is?" Gu Qinglan leaned in front of the telephone and asked politely.

After a pause on the phone, Wu Jie's father-in-law said: "This is not clear, some of our local local scholars, combined with historical speculation, the tomb owner in the valley should be from the Warring States Period......"

& novel wanshuba.comnbsp; Warring States period? Let me go, could it be that these savages are still descendants of a certain prince and king during the Warring States Period, so they have been guarding the tomb here for generations?

Ding Ermiao took a breath of cool air in his heart, and asked into the phone, "That...... Excuse me, how did you guess this? ”

On the phone, Wu Jie's father-in-law said slowly: "This speculation, there are some very mysterious details, which come from legends, and are not reliable, so they can only be seen as a story." Foolish words, foolish listen......"

"Okay, you can tell us, maybe it will be useful to us." Gu Qinglan said.

"Okay, I'll talk about ......" Wu Jie's father-in-law cleared his throat and said:

"When Qi Huan fairly settled the south, there were Wu, Yue, Buyu, Mengmao and other countries. Our current Lirui County is the birthplace of the ancient country of Mengmao. It is said that in the ancient country of Mengmao, the king was a woman, proficient in witchcraft, and had great magical powers. ”

Ding Ermiao has a black line, why did Qi Huan Gong also come out? I'll go.

Wu Zhanzhan frowned and asked, "There are two Qi Huan Dukes in history, are you talking about that Gongzi Xiaobai?" ”

"Yes, it is the prince Xiaobai of the Jiuhe princes and the world, about this war, it is recorded in the Dai manuscript historical book "Hey Menggu Meng". On the phone, Wu Jie's father-in-law continued:

Because the disparity in strength was too great, half a year after the start of the war, Queen Mengmao was finally captured alive on the battlefield. Qi Henggong personally interrogated, and the queen swore to death. Duke Qi Huan was furious and ordered the queen to be removed from her armor and tortured. Who knows, when he took off the queen's armor, Qi Huan Gong was half frightened to death. ”

Ding Ermiao became interested and asked, "What did Gong Qi Huan find?" ”

"After the queen's armor was removed, everyone found that the queen had a head on the armor, and there was no body in the armor, empty!" Wu Jie's father-in-law seemed to be a little excited when he said this, and he sped up his speech and continued:

Only then did Duke Qi Huan know that Queen Mengmao, who had been fighting with him for half a year, turned out to be a monster. Qi Henggong was frightened by this and couldn't afford to get sick. Before dying, the queen's head was burned. ”

The crowd changed color together. If you have a head and no body, you can still lead troops to fight? It's simply unheard of.

"Huh?!" Wu Jie, who was listening on the side, was so frightened that his face changed greatly, and shouted: "Then this queen is really a goblin?" ”

The other side of the phone said: "These are just legends, they can't be taken seriously." There are also legends...... When the queen's head is burned, she speaks. ”

"And what did she say?" Ding Ermiao asked.

"This ......, what exactly it says, is not recorded. It is said that it probably means that she will come back to life, and she will come back to life to take revenge. The phone said: "It is also said that after the death of the queen, the remnants of her subordinates buried her in the deep valley of the Four Tombs Mountain." ”

Wu Zhanzhan wiped his sweat and asked, "Then this Mengmao Queen, has she come back to life?" ”

"Of course not, how could these strange things happen?" Said on the other side of the phone.

“……”

After a few more minutes, the phone conversation ended, and Ding Ermiao and the others also gained a little, in addition to learning the origin of the name of the Four Tomb Mountains and Four Tomb Towns, they also heard a mysterious and mysterious story.

Wu Zhanzhan put on his headlamp, packed up, and urged everyone to set off.

But Wu Jie pulled Ding Ermiao aside again.

"Say it, Brother Wu, don't see outside." Ding Ermiao asked patiently, "What's the matter?" But he was wondering in his heart, and secretly said, this Wu Jie won't be a rich slave, right, do you want money?

"Big brother, savages are not easy to deal with, I heard that they can eat people......" Wu Jie hesitated, hesitated for a while, and said: "I still have a shotgun, will you use it?" Do you want to bring self-defense? ”

Although guns are now banned in China, the southwestern border area is full of mixed ethnic groups. Many villages have been hunting for generations, and considering the national habits and inheritance, the hunting rifles here are not within the scope of confiscation.

It turned out that people were kind-hearted, but they had a small belly and chicken intestines, and they thought that people wanted money. Ding Ermiao despised himself in his heart, thought for a while, and said, "Of course it's good to have a shotgun." But...... The shotgun was too long to carry into the cave. ”

This kind of single-shot shotgun uses the most primitive gunpowder and iron sand, and Ding Ermiao used to use it often in Qiyun Mountain. The shots were all based on feeling, and there was no line of sight. As long as you are bold, everyone can use it, and there is no technical difficulty.

Wu Jie smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not a long spear, it's a short spear, less than two feet long." I used to hunt pheasants, but it wasn't very powerful, so now I go out hunting with only a spear. ”

"Although it is not very powerful, it is estimated that it is okay to scare the savages." Wu Jie added.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Ding Ermiao said: "Take it and take a look." ”

Wu Jie nodded, walked into his bedroom, and when he came out again, he really had a short gun in his hand.

Ding Ermiao took the short gun and looked at it, crying and laughing. This so-called short gun is a long gun that saws the barrel of a long gun short.

The power of a shotgun depends not only on the amount of gunpowder, but also on the length of the barrel. The general barrel is slightly shorter than the height of the hunter, roughly around one meter five. The firing range can reach 100 meters, and after shooting out of 100 meters, it is also the size of half a room.

The longer the barrel, the higher the hit rate.

Now this shotgun, with the barrel sawed off two-thirds of the way, is basically powerless. The range is at most thirty or forty meters, and it is estimated that ten meters away, the iron sand will spread to the size of half a room.

It is estimated that it is not reliable to use it for war, but there is still a little bit of deterrence. At the very least, when the gun is fired, a bang can also scare the wild man.

However, the maintenance of the gun is very good, the barrel is polished, the trigger is dexterous, and it falls in response.

"Thank you, Brother Wu, I'm welcome, bring it first." Ding Ermiao put the short gun on his back and took the ammunition bag handed over by Wu Jie.

This is also a kind of hospitality. Ding Ermiao understood that Wu Jie was also taking risks when he lent him a shotgun. If he shoots someone and kills someone, or if he misfires and injures himself, he can't escape it.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Jie took the lead in opening the road, Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan Gu Qinglan stepped into the mountain again in the moonlight.
