Chapter 61: The Stalker
The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "Our shop is small, and we only have baked cakes and pancakes. ”
"What baked cakes?" Pit asked with some disappointment.
"Oven baked cakes and donkey meat burned." The boss replied.
"What about the others?"
"Haggis soup and ravioli."
Think about it, you also know, the small shop on the side of the road will prepare any Manchu and Han full banquets, which is nothing more than writing local snacks for passers-by. A group of people lost their temper and ordered thirty oven baked cakes, and one person had a bowl of haggis soup. The boss screamed a little longer, each table brought up a pot of tea, I poured a cup of tea, found that this is not ordinary tea, asked the owner to know, this is picked near the bamboo forest of the new bamboo leaves brewed, smell a special bamboo fragrance, the entrance is even more strange fragrance, although it is not a precious tea, but expensive in the original, it is also the best in the countryside.
After a while, the meal was ready, and a group of people were also hungry, and the wind and clouds generally ended up with the soup in the baked cake bowl on the table, and they were ready to go on the road with a full burp. The car drove far away, I looked out from the rear window, the owner and his wife were still standing at the door of the store watching our convoy, it is estimated that it is rare to see so many cars passing by, especially so many cars, but there are two more people next to them, also looking in our direction, because the distance is too far, I can no longer see the face, I guess it is also a passing eater.
Because of the detour, the speed was very slow, and the next afternoon, we arrived in Shijiazhuang, which was still some distance away from Fenglong Mountain. In order to relieve the fatigue caused by the long journey, we rested for a day in a small hotel, which was the last preparation before the move. Early the next morning, the convoy continued to move towards Fenglong Mountain, the pedestrians and vehicles on the road continued, our cars kept a certain distance from each other, and did not attract any attention, there are a lot of foreign vehicles in this place, it is estimated that they are all coming to travel, so it is not strange for us to have a few foreign cars.
The road passes through a body of water, there are hundreds of acres in a radius, the blue waves are transparent, the smoke waves are vast, and there is a mountain at the north and south ends of the lake. Lao Zhao pointed to the lake and said, this is Longfeng Lake, once you arrive at Longfeng Lake, it will not be far from your destination. Sure enough, after the car turned a few corners, a dark green mountain appeared in our field of vision, and the top of the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, like a fairyland. Because the direction we were facing was the area open to the tourist attraction, we couldn't choose this place to park, and the convoy entered the country road again, along the chess-like distribution of villages, and went around the back of Fenglong Mountain. After all, the open areas are limited, and those areas that have not yet been explored are our goals.
A few hours later, the car stopped in the middle of a terraced field, and the people in the car got out of the car in turn, opened the trunk, and batches of equipment were moved to the ground, which is between two villages, and on the back side of the mountain, so it was relatively sparsely populated, and it was because of this that we dared to carry out operations in broad daylight, even if we were discovered, we only said that we were here to camp, and no one could have imagined that we were a gang of tomb robbers who had gone to great lengths to come here.
After counting the number of people, there were a total of seventeen people in this operation, including a few of us, so a lot of equipment was prepared, and after each person was equipped with a set, the rest was thrown back into the car, and Song Jin in addition to carrying this set of standard equipment on his back, he also straddled this black leather bag, and the leather bag contained his unique weapon, the recurve steel bow. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Classmate, aren't you ready to give up this cold weapon?" How nice it is to get a pistol. Saying that, I gestured at the P226 pistol in my hand, this pistol is used to equip the American special forces, there is nothing to say about its firepower and advancement, Kaoru Mochizuki got this batch of weapons through the company's network, and smuggled them into the country to equip this team, which can be described as painstaking. Song Jin shook the leather bag in his hand disapprenousfully and said, "It won't be stuck." ”
According to the plan, the convoy did not stop where it was and waited for us, but left us and drove away. Without a car, we had to march on foot, and seventeen people formed a long line from behind the mountain to the depths of the mountain. Although it is in the plain area, but this does not prevent the growth of trees on the mountain, after 20 minutes of hiking, we have entered the dense forest, every tree around is more than 20 meters high, thick one person can not be embraced, the branches above the head are criss-crossed, dense, the sun through the leaves can not shine in well, so the environment is relatively dark and damp, the ground is full of fallen leaves, the roots of the tree are full of green moss.
I walked side by side with the pit, Zhao Xiaoxu accompanied Lao Zhao, and Song Jin walked at the back by himself. I was struggling to move forward with my head down, and Kaoru Mochizuki had come to my side at some point, and said to me in a low voice, "Ling Yue, pay attention to the woods on the left. ”
I looked in the direction she said, and the bushes shook and a shadow quickly departed. My heart tightened, is it a beast or a man? Because of the lack of light, I couldn't see clearly, so I had to ask Kaoru Mochizuki for confirmation.
Kaoru Mochizuki looked at the woods over there and said, "It's not terrible if it's a beast, but it's terrible if it's a human." By implication, she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a beast. In order to find out, Kaoru Mochizuki called one of his men and said a few words, and the man drew his pistol and walked towards the bushes, and after a while disappeared into the bushes, we stared in that direction and waited for the pathfinder to return, but we didn't expect it to be half an hour. The team stopped advancing, Lao Zhao, Zhao Xiaoxu, and Song Jin also got together with us, Kaoru Mochizuki truthfully told Lao Zhao about the situation, and after Lao Zhao listened, his brows furrowed and thoughtful.
Suddenly, a scream came from a distance, and a man ran towards us from a distance in a panic, shouting "Ghost, ghost!" When everyone heard this, they were all terrified. In a hurry, the pathfinder was tripped by the roots of the tree exposed to the ground under his feet, and fell to the ground with a snap, only to see that in the bushes behind him, a big black shadow slowly poked out, the black shadow suddenly raised his head, and a miserable white face appeared there, Song Jin rushed out with an arrow to pull up the fallen pathfinder, and then held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, pointing at the black shadow, we all pulled out the pistol, let go, and the arrow went straight to the face of the black shadow, only to see the shadow wave his sleeves and sweep, an arrow did not know where it went, The shadow was unscathed.
The shadow did not entangle with us, and with a long, shrill whistle came from the forest, and the black shadow turned and disappeared into the bushes. Lao Zhao said: "Fox whistle! I turned my head to look at Lao Zhao, and was about to ask what this fox whistle was, only to hear a burst of laughter in the distance in the forest, and then a voice said: "Zhao Pinchuan, don't come to harm, I didn't expect you to get together with this little girl, it's really rare and rare", the little lady in the person's mouth refers to Mochizuki Kaoru, it seems that this person also knows something about Mochizuki Kaoru, and from the tone, the other party is full of hostility towards our group.
We were all nervous, afraid of a sudden attack, but after the sound passed, there was no sound. I asked Lao Zhao, "Do you know that person?" "I mean the man who speaks in the woods.
Lao Zhao nodded and said, "Greenbeard." ”
"Greenbeard?"
Lao Zhao continued: "Greenbeard is a well-known tomb robber in the Guanzhong generation, but no one who is active in the Guanzhong generation does not know Greenbeard. ”
The Guanzhong generation, it should be in Shaanxi, and we are now deep in the east, separated from Guanzhong by 108,000 miles, what is this greenbeard doing here?
Seeing that we didn't know anything, Lao Zhao simply told us about Greenbeard himself, and Kaoru Mochizuki also ordered the others to camp on the spot and strengthen their vigilance. The distribution of tomb robbers can be said to be all over the country, especially in the Guanzhong area. The Guanzhong area has a long history, Qin Xianyang City, Han Chang'an City are in Guanzhong, and many cultural relics are scattered in the hands of Guanzhong people, so there are many cultural relics dealers in Guanzhong area. There are those that are bought, there are those that are sold, and the cultural relics are not like the grain that can grow in the ground and be harvested once a year, but the cultural relics can be dug out from the ground, and everyone knows that there are many people buried under this land, and the tomb robbery is also born. Among the many tomb robbers in Guanzhong, Greenbeard stood out and became the leader and soul of this generation of tomb robbers.
There is no industry association in the tomb robbery industry, and the so-called leaders and souls are only lip service recognition. What Greenbeard's real name is is no longer known, people only know his nickname, and he is just like his nickname, with a pinch of green beard, which is very similar to the description of Sun Quan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": blue-eyed and purple-haired, the difference is that Sun Quan's beard is purple, and Greenbeard's beard is green, so Greenbeard also has a nickname: Little Sun Quan, but people usually call him Greenbeard. Speaking of the origin of this "greenbeard", it is also inseparable from his tomb robbery.
It is said that Greenbeard entered the tomb robbery line at the beginning of the year, and one night he carried a shovel alone to a cemetery that had already stepped on a good point, this night was a cloudy day, there were few stars in the sky, flickering, a bend of the moon with a halo hanging in the clouds, this is a sign of changing the sky. The wind is mixed with a lot of moisture, and it blows even colder on people. In order to keep out the cold and strengthen his courage, Greenbeard held a bottle of Shanxi Fen wine and drank it while walking, and when he walked to the grave, the wine in the bottle was almost drunk, and the strength of the wine also came up. Greenbeard shook off the bottle and staggered forward, swinging his shovel and digging into the grave. While digging the soil, he hummed Qin Yan to cheer up, and after a while, he dug into the old deep, there is no need to dig a hidden hole in this kind of place, just dig a big hole, pry open the coffin and take away the property, even if someone finds out, it will be the next day. Greenbeard thought about the contents of the coffin, and the speed in his hands was much faster, and a moment later, a black coffin appeared in front of him.
