Chapter 344: The Ancient Corpse of the Cliff

After squatting there for a while, Ah Chong beckoned the people behind him to pass.

There was a platform a few feet square where he was standing, and Zi Yang slowly squeezed through, and Ah Chong saw Zi Yang coming, and took a step forward to make way for a place. On the cliff next to him, a recess appeared in it, and a skeleton was "sitting" in it, and next to the skeleton was a rusty spear.

Ziyang was stunned for a moment, why did a skeleton appear on the mountain wall where there was almost no foothold?

Judging by the chisel marks on the pit wall, this recess, which is only one meter square and more than half a meter deep, was artificially dug - who would bother digging such a deep pit on a steep cliff? Could this be some kind of strange funeral ritual?

Lao Wang, Su Rui and others in the back also caught up, and several people crowded into this less than one square meter and looked at each other.

Asgen grabbed the spear and fiddled with it skillfully, looked at the rusty bolt and scope, and said with confidence: "This is the Japanese army's Type 38 sniper rifle, judging from his equipment, this person should be a Japanese sniper." ”

Everyone was stunned, could it be that this was a Japanese soldier who stayed here during World War II? Hasn't it been here for more than fifty years?

This skeleton that seems to be "sitting" has only a few strands of clothes left, which must have decayed and been blown away by the mountain wind, but the remaining skeleton is relatively complete, and it seems that there are no wounds on its body. It is facing the east, could it be that when it is dying, it is staring at its distant hometown?

Lao Wang pouted his teeth and asked, "Xiao Su, you are familiar with history, what is the chance that Japanese soldiers will appear in this place where birds don't?" ”

Su Rui hesitated for a moment and said: "Before the end of World War II, the Soviet Union organized 1.5 million troops to attack the Japanese army stationed in China, and the Soviet army crossed the Sino-Soviet and Sino-Mongolian borders on a front of more than 4,000 kilometers from the east, north and west. At that time, the Japanese army occupying the northeast was the Kwantung Army, known as the "flower of the imperial army", although it was already the end of the crossbow, the Kwantung Army still organized a large number of troops to deploy defenses along the Sino-Mongolian border.

Because of the huge disparity in strength, many Japanese troops tried to resist to the end with the belief of 'jade shattering'. In addition to establishing permanent strongholds on the defensive line, they also set up many individual fortresses on the routes that the Soviet army might pass, and these individual fortresses were often built in the Jedi with dangerous terrain, which were guarded by death squads, carrying dozens of days of supplies at a time, and one person and one gun could stop the attack of the entire company.

The skeleton in front of us is estimated to be a 'jade shattered' Japanese Kwantung Army. He used up all his supplies here, presumably starving to death. ”

"It's a pity that he didn't wait for the Soviet army until he died, and the Kwantung Army only resisted for a few days before being routed by the Soviet army." Zi Yang picked up a few rusty bullets from the ground, and it looked like the Jade Crush warrior hadn't fired a single shot in his lifetime.

"So, what does that mean?" Lao Wang became impatient, "It's just a little Japanese devil who died on a cliff, what's there to worry about?" If we don't hurry up, it's going to be dark! We can't expect to camp in this mountain nest, can we? ”

Zi Yang saw Su Rui squatting there thoughtfully, and also felt that it was not a problem for a group of people to be delayed on the cliff like this, and said to Ah Chong: "Let's move on, if it goes well, maybe we can reach that hillside before dark." ”

Ah Chong nodded, grabbed a rock protruding from the side, and turned over and stepped on the steep cliff, moving as agile as a leopard.

Lao Wang saw Ah Chong walking on the rugged mountain wall as if he were walking on flat ground, and said enviously: "If I have half of Brother Chong's light skills, Lao Tzu can make great achievements in society!" ”

Zi Yang pursed his lips and said: "Cut, if you have this light skill, there is a high chance that you will be a flower thief." ”

Lao Wang glanced at him: "That's all you have to offer!" What is the future of the flower thief? My dream is to be a grand thief, okay? With the kung fu of flying eaves and walls, he specializes in stealing bank vaults, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and saving the poor dicks in the world. ”

"You're almost robbing the vault, it's a technical job, you can't do it."

"I can take you with me, aren't you known as a kobold strategist?"

"Get out!"

In the midst of the quarrel, they were on the "road" again, and after climbing another mountain beam, Ziyang looked back and saw that Asgen's men were no longer in sight, which also meant that if something happened, they would have to rely on themselves.

In the evening, the temperature plummeted, and the mountain wind blew again, making it difficult to stand on the rugged cliff itself, and the cold wind blew their bodies swaying, and they were in danger of falling off the cliff if they were not careful.

This difficult climb was really painful, Ziyang's hands were cut several times by sharp rocks, and the down jacket was also cut, revealing the white feathers inside, and the other people were not much better.

Lao Wang looked at the gloomy sky and said, "It's good that it didn't snow for those who stepped on the horse, otherwise this day would really not be possible!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge snowflake floated on his shoulder.

"I'll your crow's mouth, your mouth is really open, and the bad thing is said to be in the middle, why don't you dream of a spaceship?" Ziyang chattered and cursed behind him.

Lao Wang hehe: "The wish of the spaceship is too big to be realized, so I want to think something more realistic, braised beef, whole sheep feast, pork stewed vermicelli, sauce fried lotus root slices, ......"

Zi Yang was crawling there dizzy, and suddenly heard this large string of delicious delicacies in his ears, saliva came out, and the strong hunger in his stomach suddenly came......

"Brother Wang, can we discuss something, you keep your mouth shut and let me drink the northwest wind quietly for a while."

……

When it was getting dark, they finally climbed over the steep mountain beams and came to the hillside where the coordinates were. This section of the mountain is relatively gentle, which is a good rest for them, and everyone walks slowly down the mountain while eating dry food and drinking water.

In order to prevent sudden poisoning, they were still divided into several echelons or forward, and Ah Chong still walked in the front.

A few hundred meters of the hillside was about to come to an end, Ah Chong stood on a protruding boulder and stopped, and more than ten meters below was the ruins of a tree that had fallen horizontally, and a square hole could be faintly seen in the ruins.

Su Rui looked at the GPS in his hand and said with a little excitement: "This is it, the coordinates are below!" ”

Ziyang stood on the high platform and looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a few sparks a few kilometers away, which should be Asgen's subordinates who were camped over there.

Zi Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this journey was only a few kilometers, but they went around for most of the day to arrive, although the road was difficult and dangerous, fortunately everyone arrived safe and sound.

Lao Wang stretched his neck out and looked down and said, "Brothers, let's go?" Go down and get the baby! What are you doing standing? Drink the mountain breeze? ”

Ah Chong shook his head: "I can't go down." ”

Following the direction of his finger, he saw several green, gray animal bones in the ruins, which merged with the dead wood around them, and the sky was gray at this time, and it was difficult to find if it were not for excellent eyesight.

Su Rui frowned and said, "This cave is just in a low-lying place, and it is on the shady side, so it will be dangerous to go down rashly. ”

Lao Wang patted his thigh and sighed: "Wocao, it's hard to ride a tiger now, Lao Li, your plan doesn't make sense!" Why didn't you think of this before? Why didn't you bring a sheep here to test the poison? We've got so many sheep and cows left! ”

Zi Yang glanced at him: "Your afterthought, this road is dangerous for even people to come, do you still have the ability to carry a sheep over?" ”

Lao Wang argued with him with his eyes: "It's no problem for Lao Tzu to carry you over, let alone carry the head sheep!" Why don't you ask Lao Tzu in advance? How do you know if Lao Tzu can carry it? ”

Obviously, Lao Wang is asking the guilt of Xingshi, you Lao Li don't discuss anything with Lao Tzu, and don't treat me as a dish, how about now? Rest, right?

Zi Yang also knew that he was at a loss, but how could he be willing to admit defeat in front of Lao Wang, his eyes rolled and said: "That sheep is also a life, you know that there is danger under the mountain, and you still send it down?" Don't you see that pile of bones? ”

"Those bones have sprouts, I don't know how many decades ago, maybe it's not dangerous now?"

The two were arguing-for-tat, and the others were silent, and no one bothered to care about them.

Before, everyone only thought that climbing this hill would be able to reach the coordinate point directly, and no one really took into account the following situation.

Now the ruins were more than a dozen meters below them, but no one dared to take a step further.

Su Rui squinted his eyes and carefully identified that there was a dark red piece of wood in the hole under the ruins, which seemed to be the corner of a huge wooden door, and knew that this was probably the tomb of the Zhenwu Emperor that Mo Laosan said.

What happened to Professor Zhang and Mo Laosan after they robbed the tomb back then, making the entire valley suddenly become a place of death that no one could approach, which is really incomprehensible.

Lao Wang saw Asgen walking back and forth nearby, as if he was looking down for something, and couldn't help but taunt: "Big brother, has your wallet been dropped?" ”

Lao Wang is this stinky temper, once he is unhappy, he likes to be angry with the people around him, arresting whomever and who touches him is unlucky.

Asgen still seems to be more self-contained, he didn't quarrel with Lao Wang like Zi Yang, but continued to look down, slowly getting farther and farther, Zi Yang was also attracted by his strange behavior, and the two looked at Lao Wang with a confused face, and even forgot about the quarrel.

"Here! Come and see! Asgen suddenly crouched in the distance and shouted.

There is a discovery!

The crowd rushed to him to take a look, and saw a circular hole appear in the ground at Asgen's feet. The hole is less than a meter in diameter, the walls are smooth, and the inside is so dark that you can't see the bottom.

"Is this a hole dug by ground rats?" The old king looked at Asgen in wonder.

"It's a thief hole." Asgen affirmed.

"Not necessarily, right? Could it be the hole dug by the Japanese soldiers? Lao Wang thought of the corpse on the cliff, and suddenly his mind opened.

Asgen grabbed a handful of dirt next to the cave entrance and sniffed it, "Judging from the surrounding soil and stone ballast, this thief hole has been dug for no more than three months. ”

That's amazing! Smell the soil and even calculate the time.

Zi Yang suddenly understood why Asgen was acting so weirdly just now.

Asgen is also a tomb robber, he wants to find a suitable place to dig a robbery hole around, but he didn't expect someone to take a step ahead!

The question is, who dug this hole?
