The next day, when we woke up, we found that everyone else was getting their gear ready. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info I walked around and took a look, and I can be regarded as figuring out the composition of our expedition. In addition to the four of us, Yi Wan herself also brought more than 10 armed people, and judging by the dress of these people, they should all be characters on the road. These people dress casually and behave recklessly and rudely, but they are extremely in awe of Yi Wan, I have to say, this makes me look at Yi Wan with admiration. The fake foreign devil Lra Fan brought 10 foreign mercenaries. These mercenaries were neatly dressed, all helmets and leather boots, field uniforms, extremely disciplined, and rarely spoke to other people, and seemed to be much more reliable than those gangsters invited by Yi Wan.

Kuanzi looked at it and said angrily, "Damn, those little gangsters have disgraced the faces of the Chinese!" Look at the mercenaries brought by the fake foreign devils! You can see the gap at a glance, it's incomparable! ”

I listened and quickly said, "Although those thugs don't look like anything, they are highly credible!" Miss Yi gave an order and told them to go east, but they didn't dare to go west. And those foreign mercenaries don't seem to be interested in Mr. Lar Fan, and they ignore him, if there is really something, I guess Lar Fan may not be able to move them! ”

Tie Ying, who was sorting out his equipment, listened to me and Kuanzi's words and said, "Foreign mercenaries are very professional, they have their own set of rules of behavior for doing things, and generally only do things within their own responsibilities, they have a lot of autonomy, and not everything is obedient to the employer!" ”

Kuanzi listened and said, "Forget it, no matter how powerful they are, we only have to rely on ourselves!" ”

At noon that day, after lunch, Yi Wan called a few of us to his tent. When a few of us walked into the tent, we found that there were already several people sitting in the tent. Under Yi Wan's introduction one by one, we finally got to know several small leaders of this operation, Uncle Tian, the captain of the horse team, who was responsible for transporting goods and logistics. Kennedy, the leader of the mercenary team, was in charge of security, and the dozen or so people under Yi Wan, led by a small sunglasses, were responsible for opening the way ahead.

At noon that day, after the master invited by Miss Yi to pray for our practice, we set off into the jungle.

Because there were more people and more things to carry, we didn't move too fast. Fortunately, this is not a no-man's land, and there are still some trails in the mountains that can be passed, so it is not so strenuous to walk.

Less than half an hour after we stepped into the jungle, it was raining heavily. The rain soaked all our clothes, and it took more than an hour for the rain to subside.

Hiroko therefore suspects that the master who prayed for us was definitely a charlatan.

I listened and said, "I have long guessed that he is here to cheat money, the real master, you can't ask if you want to"

Kuanzi listened and said, "I knew that we should have left him behind at that time and let Miss Yi take him with him, if it didn't work, he would be killed immediately."

I listened and said, "A talent like you can only be friends with Eun."

Kuanzi smiled when he heard this, pointed to the front of the team, and said, "Staff Officer Pan, guess what's in that box, what is not on horseback, but it is so difficult to carry it."

In fact, I have already seen that behind Miss Yi, two thugs are carrying a green box, following her, walking slowly.

Before we entered the mountain, in order to reduce the burden on the horse team, we carried our own equipment and supplies. The horse teams were carrying some of the larger supplies, so there were actually two or three horses left empty on their backs. That green box can be carried by the horses of the horse team. Now he asked two people to carry it, not to mention the effort, and it slowed down the speed of the team all of a sudden.

I quietly observed for a while, and said, "I think those two people are quite laborious to carry, and it is estimated that there must be at least 100 catties." Yi Wan asked them to carry this box, which means that she is not at ease when the box is placed on horseback, and you see, the front and back of the box are followed by her people, which shows that she is very heavy on this box, and this box must contain something very important to her."

Tie Ying listened to my words and hurriedly came over to remind me, "Don't talk nonsense! ”

After listening to this, I realized that I had pretended to be too forced, and the front and rear of this team were Yi Wan's people, and if her people heard it and reached her ears, I was afraid that it would be very unfavorable for our next actions.

That night, we came to a small cottage.

There are only seven or eight households in the village, and the houses of each family are the kind of stilted buildings that are common in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. Many people in the village also wear their own national costumes, wear headdresses on their heads, and always carry a bamboo kuang on their backs.

Kuanzi and I went around the village, and we met old people and children. When I asked, I found out that the young labor force has gone to work in the city, and although the village is remote, it is also connected to electricity, refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, and these modern electrical appliances, which you can see in the homes of these villagers.

Although there are appliances in the home, this little plug still lives a traditional life. Hiroko and I both thought it was a novelty.

On the east side of the stockade there was a square made of stones, which, though not large, was enough for our large group of men to be stationed.

Kuanzi and I were about to open our bags and set up our tents, but Xiaoxue ran over and said, "Don't get it, go, follow me to eat bacon"

When Kuanzi and I heard that there was bacon to eat again, we were so hungry that our saliva was about to stay. The last meal we had at Xiao Chen Liang's house has always made us nostalgic to this day, and Kuanzi has always regretted that he didn't eat a few more pieces of bacon at that time. I didn't expect to think about anything at this time, so Kuanzi and I immediately packed our bags and walked forward behind Xiaoxue.

After a few turns in the stockade, we came to a stilted building. Kuanzi and I looked over, although this stilted building looked relatively dilapidated, but it was still clean.

We stepped on the wooden stairs to go upstairs, and when we opened the door, we saw a fire in the middle of the house, with a pot on the fire, and Tie Ying and an old woman were sitting in front of the fire and chatting. Tie Ying saw us and hurriedly beckoned a few of us over.

The temperature in the mountains is different from outside, although it is July, but as soon as the sun sets, the temperature in the mountains drops, and besides, we have just been drenched in the rain today, and the roasting fire is just right to remove the moisture on our bodies.

After sitting down and chatting, we learned that this old grandmother surnamed He has been living alone in this mountain for decades. Seeing the steam coming out of the pot on the fire, Kuanzi had long wanted to see what was cooking in the pot, so he took the opportunity to take the lid of the pot, and it turned out that the pot was stewed with two large pieces of bacon. As soon as the lid of the pot is opened, a unique aroma of bacon fills the whole room.

Hiroko and I swallowed.

When Grandma He saw it, she smiled and said, "You're all hungry!" Today, a guest from afar is coming, and when I put incense on my old man, we can eat, I am here, it has not been so lively for a long time."

When Kuanzi heard this, he quickly said, "Grandma He, I'll help you"

Grandma He listened and said, "Okay, okay, the young man is really diligent, and I don't know which girl will be blessed to marry you in the future." You go and cut a small piece of meat and put it on the table, and I'll go get the incense stick."

Many places in Guangxi have such a custom, if there is a happy event or a distant guest at home, slaughter chickens and ducks, and after cooking, you must worship your ancestors first, and then you can eat them.

At this time, Kuanzi had already taken a big bowl out, scooped up a piece of bacon and put it in the bowl, held it in both hands, and took it to the offering table to put it.

I saw that he was still standing at the offering table after putting things down, and quickly said, "I said, Commander Liang, what are you always standing there pondering?"

Hearing this, Kuanzi turned around and stared at me for a few seconds, and in an instant his expression became very strange, and after a long time, he slowly said, "Staff Officer Pan, why do I look at the photo of this person on the table, he looks so much like you?"

When I heard it, I thought Kuanzi was joking with me again, and said, "Ya, do you talk like that?" Don't forget, we are proletarian revolutionary fighters in the same boat, and if my head sinks, you will have to feed the river fish with me."

Kuanzi was anxious when she saw that I didn't believe me, and said, "Or, you can come and see it yourself!" ”

I didn't seem to be lying to me when I saw him like that, so I immediately walked to the offering table with Tie Ying.

I saw two photos on the table, the first one had been yellowed, and the portrait on the photo had been blurred, and I could only barely see that the photo was a Kuomintang soldier with a rifle on his shoulder, and the age of the photo should have been sixty or seventy years ago. Another photo looks relatively new, and the image looks clearer, I see a young man with a thin figure and glasses, wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt, a sunhat, and a square cloth bag on his shoulder, standing in front of a stone monument. And the looks, expressions, and even smiles on his face are exactly the same as mine.

After looking at the photo, both Tetsuei and Hiroko looked at me with an incredulous expression.

And I myself was stunned for a moment.
