"What's wrong?" Moriki looked in the direction of the man's finger, but didn't find anything unusual, so he asked.

"Morimu-kun, I just saw a fire, a fire that will run." When the man looked over again, he didn't find the fire anymore, and he was surprised.

"Did you see that?" Moriki asked the others.

"No", "We don't see anything." The others replied.

"Ono-kun, you heard me. You must be dazzled. The troops continued to advance. After the archaeological captain Moriki finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to this Ono.

Moriki, whose full name is Moriki Jiro, graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, but because he likes Chinese culture and history, he has a deep study of these, and was appointed as the leader of the archaeological team from above.

In fact, he is more of a military thinker, and he is a little stronger. Sometimes he even looked down on those scholars and Tufuzi, thinking that digging ancient tombs had no technical content, and it would be good to use more explosives.

However, he has a lot of respect for Mr. Feng Shui. Because no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is in vain if you don't know where to use it. Ono is a well-known native master.,It's a great professional in stealing holes.,And he also has a hand in breaking mechanisms.。 However, in Morimu's opinion, these can be replaced with explosives, so he is not very cold. With this person, it's just to lose a few antiques.

"I really saw it, Captain, and you have to believe me. It doesn't bode well to see the weird phenomenon before the tomb is excavated, and I suggest we come back another day. Ono followed closely behind Moriki and said aggrievedly.

"Less nonsense. If you dare to shake the morale of the army, I will shoot you right now. Moriki overloaded, pulled out his pistol, and threatened Ono's head.

Anyway, they carry a lot of explosives, and they don't work like a dirt master. Besides, according to his understanding, this is a hanging coffin, and there is no need to open a thief hole or anything, it's just that there is no way to completely crack the mechanism on the hanging coffin, and it's a big deal to move the whole coffin back.

was pointed at the top of his head by Moriki with a gun, Ono broke out in a cold sweat, his calves and stomach turned straight, and he shivered vigorously, not daring to say any more. The troops began their normal march.

If a few local mountain runners knew what Ono said, they would be able to conclude that the fire that Ono saw was probably a fire fox. The fire fox was red, shiny and shining in the sun, like a burning fire. Far away, at first glance it is easy to recognize it as a ball of fire.

There is also a legend among the mountain people that the fire fox is usually not discovered. Once the fire fox appeared, it must have been frightened, or something strange had happened.

Of course, even the number of people can't make them afraid. Because no matter which part of the fire fox you want to hurt, that part of yourself will have corresponding symptoms, and you won't hurt it.

It's just that a few locals didn't see the appearance of the fire fox just now, and they couldn't understand what the two Japanese were talking about, so they could only bury their heads and walk. If they had known that the fire fox had appeared, they would not have agreed to move forward even if they had been shot. Because the disaster brought by the fire fox may not only hurt itself, but also endanger the family. The people of the mountains believe in this.

Although Ono is not a local, he has been engaged in Tufuzi for so many years, and he knows some taboos, but he doesn't take it as seriously as the locals, and he can only go forward under the guns of Moriki. It's just that the impression of the fire is lingering.

The daylight hours in the mountains are relatively short, and at five o'clock, it gets dark. Moriki's request was to let go of the mountain beam before dark, but now he has just arrived at the foot of the mountain. Measuring distances with your eyes on the mountains is basically like guessing.

The wolf on the mountain is a kind of beast that hides in a hidden place to rest during the day and comes out at night, mainly eating meat, and likes to eat rabbits, pheasants, deer, rats, etc. Every time after dark, hungry wolves howl and go out in groups in search of food.

The wolf pack in the Northeast is very large, with dozens or hundreds of wolves. Even if they were well-equipped, they did not dare to venture out into the mountains at night, and the light of the flashlight could easily attract the attention of the wolves.

Morimu ordered the troops to stop and set up camp. Those who carried things on their backs finally breathed a sigh of relief. These people are all trained in wilderness survival, and when they stop, they go their separate ways, pitching tents and preparing dinner.

Several members of the archaeological team gathered their equipment, on the one hand, to check whether it was lost, and on the other hand, to simply adjust it, and prepare to go into battle at any time tomorrow.

Ono didn't have this in mind, he was still thinking about the fire in his head. He hadn't figured out what that fire was, but he was somewhat convinced that it wasn't a good sign.

When he saw it, the fire fox must have been running in the direction of his own people from the front of them. If the locals had known about this, they would probably have been able to tell that something had happened in the direction of their destination that would have frightened the fire fox.

They had been on the mountain road for three days, and they were all too tired to do so, and after dinner, they all lay down, and in a short time there was a loud snoring sound in each tent. Only two men stood guard outside the tent.

Of course, the people standing guard are the ones who are soldiers. They worked in pairs of two, changing groups for two hours, armed with guns, on guard against the attacks of wild beasts. Even when everyone is sleeping, they keep their guns by their side and turn on the safe, so that as soon as the guns of the people standing guard go off, they can go into battle as soon as possible.

The night in the mountains was exceptionally silent, the sound of tree branches falling to the ground was clearly audible, and the snoring of a large group of old men was particularly harsh. The person who fell asleep didn't feel anything, but it hurt the two people who were standing guard outside. On the one hand, we must always be vigilant, and on the other hand, we must endure this only noise, if it is still in the daytime, birds and insects are chirping, and all kinds of sounds are mixed together, it will not be so obvious.

The night in the deep mountains was terrible, and it was more than ten meters away, and they couldn't see clearly with a flashlight, and they lit fires all around the tent for safety. The firelight flickered and danced, and occasionally a few crackling sounds popped up, like adding a few notes to the quiet night.

If there were only a few locals, they would not have done this, because the wind was blowing in the forest, and the leaves were flying, and they cleared out such a small place, and with a breath, they could draw the fire to the dead leaves all over the ground. It's no joke that there's a fire in the forest.

Soldiers can't manage so much, anyway, China's forests, as long as they can run beyond the speed of fire, they can burn tens of thousands of hectares of primeval forest. Burn it and burn it.

By the time they had changed the third wave, it was already late at night. The wolf howls in the distance were loud and small, and they were particularly terrifying. The two soldiers stood as close to the fire as they could. In the mountains of the northeast, there is a large temperature difference between night and daytime. Their clothes look a little thin at night.

One of them walked up to the other, took out a box of cigarettes, knocked out two with his fingers, and handed them to him: "Brother, it's not interesting, smoke a cigarette to relieve fatigue." ”

"Thanks, I won't." The man pushed the cigarette back.

"How long have you been in the army? If you don't smoke as a soldier, how can you survive your life? You're going to learn sooner or later, come on, try it. He tried again.

"Still don't. I don't like the taste. I've been in the army for three months. He replied honestly.

"Oh, three months, still a rookie egg? Have you ever beaten someone? I've been in the army for three years. As soon as I came to Manchukuo, I was in this team. I love it here, I don't have to fight. I hate blood. Seeing that the other party really didn't mean to smoke, he took it back, took out one himself, and lit it.

"Then why did you become a soldier?" The recruit asked, tilting his head.

The veteran looked at the recruit like a monster, "Little brother, you are so naïve. As a member of the Great Japanese Empire, do you and I have a choice? I studied music. If I hadn't come to war, I think I would have been a teacher at a small school in Hokkaido right now. After class, I went home to spend time with my wife, listening to beautiful music and eating her hot udon. Do you have a girlfriend? Isn't it pretty? Do you have any photos? Show me. ”

"I don't have a girlfriend yet, I joined the army right out of high school."

"Oh, high school, you're not even twenty years old this year?"

"Eighteen years old. How many fires did we light yet? The young soldier suddenly asked a strange question.

"A bunch of corners, a total of four piles. What's wrong? The veteran immediately became alert, dragged his gun up, and asked.

"I just saw the fifth fire. Now it's gone again. ”

"The fifth pile? Are you sure you read that right? The veteran looked around and counted carefully, and the four piles were correct.

"I really saw it. But not anymore. The extra fire was there. The recruit said, pointing to the fire farthest away from them. But now it's really nothing.

"Let's go, come with me and have a look, keep a distance of five steps from me, and if you find something wrong, shoot immediately." The older soldier ordered.

The veteran is more experienced and knows how to deal with emergencies. If you are too far away, you will not be able to see what is happening in front of you, and if you are too close, you will be attacked by two people at the same time. Emergencies cannot be considered too much, and decisions must be made immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, especially in such a special environment.

The two men walked slowly in the direction the young soldier pointed, one after the other.

"What does it smell like? A smell of noise? Does anyone pee here? The veteran walked in front and asked when he smelled a strange smell.

"No, didn't we build a makeshift toilet? We, the soldiers who fought against the Japanese Empire, would not have done such a thing. It can't be those damn China pigs, right? "Young soldiers have a natural sense of superiority over their country and look down on Chinese.

"No, our people have given them a death order not to allow them to urinate outside of the makeshift toilets. It's possible that this is the urine of some kind of wild animal. The veteran saw a small patch of wet ground and squatted down to smell it.

"By the way, during the day, I heard Ono-kun report to Moriki-kun that he saw a running fire. Isn't it the same thing as the fire I saw? The young soldier said suddenly.
