This answer cut off all my clues about the note, and I reluctantly asked, "When was this diary written?" It doesn't seem to be too close. ”

Zeng Yongjiang nodded and said: "A year ago, we also came here at that time, when the superiors found out that the Japanese special high school had been tracking you around, and they chose to start building a new base here for safety reasons, Jiang Yan also came here with the special commission team at that time, and when she came for about three or four months, the coffin was dug up at the construction site.

Suddenly, one day, the superiors sent us to check the situation, and when we arrived, there were few normal people in the entire engineering company, and only one platoon commander was in charge of commanding at that time, and the rest of the officers committed suicide, crazy, and the company commander Lu Zhengfang did not touch tea and rice, and did not eat water and rice, and sat in the corner all day long, with dull eyes and kept repeating "It's coming, it's coming."

We immediately reported the situation to our superiors, and then a reorganized engineering regiment was brought in to replace them. ”

The second master asked: "What kind of Fang is that Lu, what happened in the end?" ”

Zeng Yongjiang heard this question and glanced at Zeng Weiguo, Zeng Weiguo said: "I was sent back to the rear hospital, ignore him about the past first, the top priority is to unravel the secret behind the coffin in front of me, if you can't solve it, get rid of it quickly, and you can't put a bomb under your nose." ”

I carefully recalled their words in my heart, and I felt that something was wrong, first of all, when I encountered this kind of thing, it should be us, a year ago, Lin Xiaoxiao was also there, it was when the soldiers were strong, how could they skip us and send Zeng Yongjiang? Secondly, solving the secret behind the coffin is Zeng Weiguo's strength, and he can't solve the mystery, what can we do? And I always feel that Zeng Weiguo deliberately hid something from me and the second master in this matter, because from the front of me, Li Xiao and Zeng Yongjiang must know more than us.

I asked him, "Commander, what age is this coffin?" ”

"It should be roughly around the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it will not be more than 30 years so far, because nothing that can prove the identity of the tomb owner was found when it was unearthed, so it can only be roughly estimated from the degree of decay of the coffin." ”

The second master asked, "Did the head chef take anything from here?" ”

Zeng Weiguo obviously didn't expect the second master to ask this kind of question, and after scanning the two of us with an incredible look, he nodded at Li Xiao, he took out a stone from his pocket and handed it to the second master.

The second master held the stone in the palm of his hand and asked me to look at it with him, this is a small stone ball the size of a pill with a whole white body, neither jade nor agate jade, no matter how you look at it, it is a dull stone ball, the only difference is that it is relatively round, and there is nothing special other than that.

The second master and I looked at each other with a puzzled expression, returned the ball to Li Xiao, and the second master asked Zeng Weiguo: "Commander, is this what the tomb owner is talking about?" ”

He nodded and said, "This should be the tomb owner's mouth, but I have never seen this kind of bony mouth before." ”

"Bones?!" ”

The second master and I said in unison, this thing is too different from bones in terms of weight and feel, but how can Zeng Weiguo say that it is a bone?

Li Xiao coughed on the side and said: "The bone that the regiment leader said and the so-called stone you are actually the same thing, medically speaking, this thing is actually a stone, but I think since the regiment commander said that it belongs to the bone, there must be a reason for him." ”

Zeng Weiguo said: "In ancient times, the cultivators believed that this thing was transformed by the essence and blood in the body, and the use of qigong, pills and other methods could make it walk freely in the body, which is the so-called inner pill of Taoism, and they were even more convinced that if they practiced the inner pill in front of the sun and moon every day, they would greatly increase their mana over time, and finally achieve the goal of becoming an immortal." ”

The second master pursed his lips and said, "Ascending to immortal is almost the same." ”

I asked Zeng Weiguo: "Commander, have you seen this kind of person before?" ”

He shook his head and said, "I heard that some people knew how to do this before, but after the actual visit, I found that it was all some tricks to cheat money, and I also had doubts about the texture of this thing before I deduced it." ”

The second master asked: "Could it be that the sappers and even those people were tossed to death by this stone before?" How evil is this thing? ”

Zeng Weiguo was just about to open his mouth, when suddenly a huge metal collision sound echoed in the warehouse, and then there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the passage, and we hurried forward to meet it, in case the coffin was found by idle people, only to see a correspondent running in a panic, standing up and saluting and saying: "Regiment leader, the superior is in an emergency." ”

After Zeng Weiguo nodded, he said to us: "Let's go back first, let's discuss the situation later", and strode out of the warehouse with the correspondent after speaking.

The logistics department issued a charcoal basin in each house, and the second master and I changed into soaked clothes, lit a charcoal fire, wrapped in a quilt and drank hot tea silently, and after a while he raised his head and asked me: "Do you say that what the regiment commander Zeng said about the engineer company is true?" ”

I was surprised that he felt the same way as me, I thought about it, shook my head and said, "I don't know, but it always feels wrong, but I can't tell." ”

At dinner, Zeng Rourou excitedly came straight to our table, sat down next to me and asked, "How does it feel to be free?" The second master hurriedly said: "I don't feel anything, the main thing is that the time is too short, sleep lazy, tell a story and just pass, hey, we haven't slept enough." ”

She glared at the second master fiercely and asked me in a low voice, "Can you return the gun to me?" I looked at the second master, he nodded at me, and I said to Zeng Rourou: "After eating in a while, we will bring guns to you." ”

She said "um", and then stared straight at me with a strange, condescending look, like a proud little hen, and I was furious in my heart by her staring, and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you mean by that? ”

When she saw that I didn't see it, she instantly deflated it like a punctured balloon, and began to eat unhappily, and I suddenly thought of it and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what happened at our base?" ”

When she heard me ask, she immediately reverted back to her hen state and said, "More than you know." ”

Then I realized that she was in a little hen-like state, and that she was waiting for me to ask her questions.

The second master and I quickly looked at each other, and just about to open her mouth, she lowered her voice first and said: "This is not the place to talk, look for me in the dormitory behind the cafeteria later, remember to bring a gun."

The three of them ate hastily and separated out of the cafeteria, the second master and I stepped on the gun, put on a poncho outside, lowered the brim of the hat and went straight to the canteen again, behind the canteen is the dormitory of the cooking class, it is not dinner time yet, only the innermost one in a row of dormitories is lit.

As soon as we entered the room, we found that it was a single room, exactly the same layout as our dormitory, except that there was one less bed, Zeng Rourou sat at the table in front of the window, and behind her stood the little soldier who gave us guns last time, Zeng Rourou asked us to give him all the guns, and then said to him: "Keep an eye outside, cough if there is any situation." ”

When the little soldier went out, the second master asked her: "Miss Zeng, the place is good, is it your dormitory?" ”

"This is the dormitory of the original head chef, and the new head chef has not yet arrived, so it is temporarily empty. ”

I nodded, and couldn't wait to ask, "What do you know about our base?" ”

She sat down on a stool, pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you mean by this?" You know what happened to the engineer company a year ago, right? ”

We nodded, and she continued to ask, "One of them is a commissioner named Jiang Yan, do you know?" We continued to nod

"Let's tell me what you know."

I retold what I heard from Zeng Weiguo and Zeng Yongjiang, as well as Jiang Yan's diary, to her concisely, she took a long breath, covered her head and stopped talking, neither I nor the second master dared to say anything, just waited quietly, and suddenly she looked up and said, "Jiang Yan is not dead." ”

may have guessed that Zeng Weiguo was hiding something from us, so he was not very surprised by this sentence.

"The diary you read was not written by her, and this incident was not what Commander Zeng said from beginning to end."

I tried to suppress the excitement of getting close to the truth, and pretended to be calm, "Oh? With a sound, the second master was about to open his mouth, and I quietly pinched his thigh.

"Of those people ten years ago, Jiang Yan was the only one alive, and when she was found, she was taken away by another group of people sent by her superiors as soon as possible. ”

"Then what was your dad doing here?" Since such a strange coffin has been dug up, it should be our job."

Zeng Rourou suddenly looked at me with an idiot expression, and finally sighed, shook her head, and said softly, "Extinguish." ”

I didn't react for a while when I heard these two words, but the second master gasped and asked softly: "You mean those people in the engineer company .....?" ”

"Yes, at that time, my father received an order from his superiors, saying that there was a mutiny here, and asked him to lead people to suppress it quickly, but when he arrived here, he found that there was no mutiny at all, and the people of the engineer company only opened a coffin that should not have been opened by them, and this coffin was not dug out of the foundation pit of the warehouse mentioned in the diary, but was sent by someone.

As soon as he arrived here, he found Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan gave him another secret telegram from his superiors, ordering him to immediately shoot everyone in the engineer company without leaving him alive, he hesitated for a moment, Jiang Yan warned him that if the secret of the coffin was leaked, he would be sent to a military court for disobeying the military order, and I would also be treated as a leak.

In desperation, he had no choice but to lead people to gather all the people of the engineer company to the playground on the grounds of the general order of commendation from the headquarters, and gave the order to shoot.

In the end, all the corpses of the engineer company were thrown into the foundation pit of the warehouse, poured gasoline and burned, my father blamed himself for this for a long time, and often got drunk after coming back, and every time he was drunk, he would hold his head and cry, no matter how others asked him, I also accidentally came out after he was drunk. ”

After listening to these words, I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart, I had guessed that the people of the engineer company would die, but I didn't expect to be killed by my own hands, the second master gritted his teeth and scolded: "Damn", took out the cigarette and shared it with me, his hand holding the cigarette was the same as mine, and it was trembling slightly.

"What happened to that Jiang Yan in the end?" Who is she? What about diaries and documents? I asked after taking two puffs of my cigarette and forcing myself to composure.

"I can only answer half of this question, and I don't know the rest, I have checked Jiang Yan for a long time, and I can't find her file at all, I guess it's someone from the military headquarters, and the name should be fake."

However, according to my father's description, the day after the execution of the engineer company, another team rushed to the construction site, they were ordered to pick up Jiang Yan and the coffin, but in the end Jiang Yan ordered the coffin to be left at the construction site, and forged the diary and documents, and handed them over to my father in person, so that he could hand them over to Zeng Weiguo, who can change the orders of her superiors at will, I think her position should be very high, and judging from the performance of Commander Zeng, they should know each other. ”

"Six? I exclaimed in unison with the second master.
