Chapter 15: The Story of Lao Lai

As soon as Gao Chao and the fat man saw that there was a door, they calmed down and listened to Lao Lai.

It turned out that Lao Lai went to Bingzhongluo, Yunnan Province more than 10 years ago, when he was introduced, and a few corpse touchers together to form a tomb robbery gang, the so-called gang, in fact, refers to some mutual trust in the corpse touchers, put together the meaning of tomb robbery, because most of this kind of tomb robbery gang is not organized by the boss, so it is called a gang, if it is the kind of boss who is organized, then it is not called a gang, it is called a pot, these two forms of tomb robbery are completely different, the organization is also different, there is still a big difference.

At that time, Lao Lai and they also got some news, so they decided to go to the Bingzhongluo area to rob the tomb together, because there was a lot of rain that year, so there were several large mudslides in the Gaoligong Mountain near Bingzhongluo.

However, because most of the area in the Gaoligong Mountains is uninhabited and uninhabited, although the mudslides were violent, they did not receive attention from the outside world because they did not cause casualties.

So after the rainy season that year, there were still a group of poachers with guides into the deep mountains of Gaoligong Mountain, wanting to hunt a few earth bears to skin and sell for money, but they went in for more than half a month but found nothing, not even the shadow of the earth bear, and later learned that it should be because of the huge mudslides, which caused the wild animals to be frightened, and they all ran into the primeval forest in the Gaoligong Mountain for a while.

In the primeval forest of Gaoligong Mountain, even the most experienced guides did not dare to enter it, so those poachers decided to give up the operation and returned in vain, but on the way back, they were accidentally led by the guide to the wrong way, and walked into a river formed by the mudslide, only to accidentally find that in the river, there were many fragments of bronze scattered, but those fragments were not large, most of them were torn into palm-sized fragments by the huge force of the mudslide, So the poachers searched the river for a whole day and did not see a single thing.

However, those poachers still brought out some fragments of bronzes, and later this matter reached the ears of Lao Lai's group, and some people saw these fragments with their own eyes, and after identification, they found that these fragments of bronze artifacts should all come from some complete bronzes, and from the analysis of the alloy composition of those fragments, the age of those bronzes should belong to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

You know, the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which are all national treasures, the most famous of which is the Simu Wuding unearthed in Anyang, Henan Province in March 1993, later renamed the Houmu Wuding, which is now in the National Museum of China, can be described as a veritable treasure of the town.

And this time, the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties were found in remote mountainous areas like Yunnan, which is simply a news that shocked the world, but this news was not taken seriously at the time, and the reasons are a bit complicated, one is because of the influence of the times at that time, and there will always be some exaggerated things reported in various parts of China in those years, so most of the news like this has long been taken seriously by no one, and can only be regarded as a topic of braggart, and the other main reason, It was because this incident was originally from the mouths of some poachers, which was unconvincing, and no one believed it, all in all, in the end, this incident was regarded as a legend and did not receive any attention from the academic community and relevant departments at all.

But as the so-called ignorant are fearless, they rely on their corpse touchers who do not seek to understand but only want to get rich, but they are full of interest in this matter.

So they organized together, geared up, and prepared to make a big move, and decided to enter the Gaoligong Mountains in the Bingzhongluo region that year to find the location of those bronzes.

Subsequently, they organized to come to the Bingzhongluo area, formulated a thorough plan for tomb robbery, and hired experienced Kang-Tibetan guides in the local area, and specially chose an auspicious day of the zodiac to set off, following the footsteps of those poachers and entering the Gaoligong Mountains.

It wasn't long before they found the river that had been washed out by the mudslide and some scattered pieces of bronze, and they were overjoyed and decided to move on, deeper into the primeval forest.

But although these corpse touchers were blinded by the immediate interests, the experienced Kang-Tibetan guide refused to take them inside, not because of the lack of money, but because of the fear of the mountain, which made the Kangba man panic and stagnate.

According to the guide, further down there is the territory of the devil, where there is the sea of death, which will lead away the souls of all life, and there is an inexhaustible hellfire, which will burn people alive into charcoal, and if they want to go in, let them go in by themselves, and he will not take such a risk with them and take his life in any way.

Lao Lai They are also experienced corpse touchers, seeing that the guide is definitely not a joke, this matter should be very serious, so there was a disagreement within their team at the moment, and then it split into two teams, the so-called two teams, nothing more than two groups of people with different ideas, one of them decided to take a risk for the upcoming bronzes, and continued to go deep into the primeval forest to find the location of those bronzes, while the other group decided to respect the guide's advice and stay where they were, The group of people who were waiting to go in came out of it and went back together.

There were only two people who decided to stay, one of whom was Lao Lai, but according to Lao Lai, he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he entered the Gaoligong Mountains at that time, his body was not adapted to the environment, and he had been straining and diarrhea, and his physical strength was not good, so he stayed and camped in the same place and waited for the victorious return of his accomplices.

But this wait is half a month, half a month has passed, but their accomplices do not even have a ghost, Lao Lai and they plus the guide a total of three people, the rations are almost eaten, and they have to consider the problem on the way back, so the guide told them two, it seems that their accomplices must have been left by the devil in the mountains, and they will suffer forever in that painful place, and will never come back, Lao Lai They listened to the guide say that, although they were sad and sad, but finally accepted the reality, and followed the guide to withdraw from the Gaoligong Mountains.

Since then, Lao Lai has also heard that several groups of tomb robbers have entered the Gaoligong Mountains, but those teams either failed to return halfway, or never came out after entering, in short, all of them ended in failure.

And Lao Lai has always had a glimmer of hope, because in his opinion, there is absolutely no tomb in this world that cannot be stolen, but because of some objective conditions, it cannot be conquered and stolen by people for the time being, but as long as the time is ripe one day, he will definitely have the opportunity to enter the deep mountains of Gaoligong again and find those priceless bronzes.

So Lao Lai insisted on his beliefs, and stayed in the Bingzhongluo area for more than ten years, until he found the bronze drum in Gao Chao's hand in the teahouse of the Drum Inn a few days ago, and he suddenly realized that maybe now is the time arranged by God, so he will take the initiative to go over and talk to Gao Chao and them, this chat, only to find that Gao Chao and the fat man seem to be novices, not very knowledgeable, so at that time I thought that I could buy the bronze drum from them at a relatively cheap price.

In fact, Lao Lai had already seen at that time that the bronze drum came from an unusual way, maybe it was something from the primeval forest of Gaoligong Mountain, so Lao Lai was overjoyed, so he thought about making this business done first, and then he would study and study it well, maybe he could find some clues through it, so as to enter the Gaoligong Mountains again to find more bronzes.

In a word, people die for money, birds die for food, in Lao Lai's own words, he has been waiting for ten years, and he has a few more decades in his remaining life, so although he lost the initial opportunity, he still wanted to fight again, so he came to Changsha Qingshuitang alone, hoping to rely on luck to find the bronze drum again.

But he never thought that his luck this time was really bad, for this bronze drum, he was first played by Gao Chao and the fat man, and almost lost his life on Sister Zhuzhu's bed, and now he came to Changsha and was arrested by them, and now he may even have to ride this old life.

So after he said these things, he suddenly said to Gao Chao and the fat man with tears: "The two masters, I have said everything I should have said, and you have also understood the things before and after, and I also know that you two masters are mixed up on the road, and I also understand the rules of dragging, but I also ask the two masters to speak and talk, and I can let my old man live today, I should disappear from now on, never enter the rivers and lakes again, and return to the mountains of Yunnan, and never mention anything about the two masters in this life......"

Gao Chao saw that the old man was crying pitifully, presumably what he said was the truth, so he discussed it with the fat man in a whisper, and decided to let him go directly.

The fat man nodded, said to Gao Chao that he would deal with it, and then with a wicked smile on his face, he pulled Lao Lai's collar and pulled Lao Lai up.

Lao Lai saw that the fat man was rude to him, so he hurriedly begged and said, "This fat man, didn't you promise to let me go?" Why are you plotting to kill my old man now? ”

The fat man hated him for a long time, but at this moment, he saw Lao Lai and his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and misunderstood himself, so he said angrily: "Lao Lai, he was the one who said he was going to let you go, but not me, my fat man never promised you anything!" ”

The fat man just wanted to scare the old man, but who knew that when the old man heard the fat man say this, his body suddenly became weak, and he was directly scared to death.

Gao Chao hurriedly touched Lao Lai's carotid artery and found that Lao Lai was only temporarily unconscious, so he relieved himself, and then scolded the fat man: "I said fat, why do you always cause trouble for me?" If this really scares him to death, the two of us will have to pay for him! Hurry up, wake him up! ”

The fat man was also taken aback, and couldn't help scolding: "Lao Lai, this egg thing, it's really not a big deal, and it scared me ......" Looking at Lao Lai's paralyzed body, the fat man thought about it and said: "Otherwise, while he fainted, I will drive him to the train station, and then buy him a train ticket back to Kunming, which is worthy of him!" ”

Gao Chao looked at the fat man and pretended to praise: "Yes, fat man, when did you become so compassionate, yes, worthy of praise, then hurry up, when you come back, we still have business to do!" ”
