On the surface, this Old Summer Palace and my grandfather don't seem to have anything to do with it. But behind this, there are inextricable connections. My grandfather and his entourage came to this harsh ice and snow cave in search of the last national treasures stored here.

However, according to my grandfather's notes, their operation was not very successful. In other words, the finish is not very smooth. From a small paragraph in my notebook, plus my own conjecture, I can probably guess eight or nine points. Here's how it happened:

That year, that is, around October 1945, the national scientific expedition team led by my grandfather and his party of 6 people came to the Himalayas in the face of a violent snowstorm. At that time, a group of 6 people was the core of the team. According to the instructions of the state, he led dozens of people to the top of this snowy region.

The purpose of their trip was only one - to find out a number of national treasures buried here in the 60s and 70s of the last century, before the destruction of the Old Summer Palace. At that time, the Qing Dynasty officials in charge of collecting these national treasures did not expect that the Qing Dynasty would fall so soon.

They thought that one day they would be able to use these national treasures to restore the national strength of the Qing Dynasty. But it backfired, and the Qing Dynasty came to an end all of a sudden. Wanting to restore the rule of the Qing government has just become a dream of Lanke in the hearts of their people.

The development of foreign economies has far surpassed the Qing Dynasty's "self-contained" state of closing off the country. It wasn't until a foreigner came to his house that he came to his senses. However, by then it was too late, and the Qing government was far from keeping up with the trend.

Under the wheel of the changes of the entire historical era, the Qing Dynasty was nothing more than a speck of dust in history. It is twisted and crushed under the wheels of history. Those old-fashioned schools with long braids ended up in an extremely miserable situation. There are dead and wounded, and there are a number of people who are not dead or injured. Almost all went crazy.

The matter of these national treasures has been forgotten in an unknown corner. Very few people knew about it, and now they have caught up with this catastrophe. There are even fewer people who know, and few people know. Even those who know about it don't know much about these national treasures. It is not even known where they are.

Because for the sake of secrecy, these national treasures are divided into labor to coordinate transportation. In order to prevent the selfishness of the transporters and the planners, it is necessary to "implement it in sections". At certain intervals, a new batch of people will be replaced. In this way, these cultural relics and national treasures were finally transported to the designated place in the Himalayas.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there is no wind that cannot leak out. This matter is still known.

Later, the person in charge of the burial. I wonder if he was murdered by thieves, or in an avalanche, or if he was buried voluntarily? In short, none of them came back. At this point, no one knows the whereabouts of these artifacts.

Later, it was the twentieth century, which was what it was like in 1940. I don't know how to let the Red Army know this news, and it has also aroused the extreme attention of the Red Army's top brass.

At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were tense, and the internal economy of the Red Army was very tight. Therefore, the red side immediately sent a special scientific research team. Go and look for the property. In the hope of improving the current economic situation of the Red Side, it can also resist the Kuomintang.

And this group. It's a group headed by my grandfather and the six of them!

At that time, my grandfather was a first-class professional in this field, and he was also an aspiring young man with a bright future. So, the leader of the red side appointed my grandfather as the captain, and a man named Peter as the vice-captain. A makeshift team was formed to search for the Himalayas.

There are 6 members of the core. However, there is no record in this note of who these six people are and what are their names? Grandpa also hastily recorded it in very few words.

A group of dozens of them came to this ice and snow cave in the Himalayas. Trying to find clues about this, or the exact location of this batch of treasures.

But. By the time they arrived, the line had been reduced to half. Some were injured halfway through and went back early; Others, due to the harsh environment and extreme discomfort, they died halfway through; Others, seeing these tragic situations, retreated and gave up halfway.

For a time, the entire team was filled with an atmosphere of "discouraged military morale". However, after all, it was "the emperor who lived up to his wishes" and let my grandfather find their destination. also succeeded in finding the so-called treasures, and everyone was of course indescribably excited.

Without any hesitation, he ordered the entire team to begin excavation.

The group that persevered, as soon as they saw the countless rare treasures in front of them, immediately lost their fatigue, but suddenly became exhausted. Sweeping away the previous fatigue and anxiety, all of them are full of energy and radiance, and it seems that they have infinite motivation all of a sudden.

Later, I don't know if I came across "#%¥" (it was blistered off here, and the text was blurred). I guess something or something unexpected that led to a 180° reversal of the whole thing. The excavation work, which had just been in full swing, had to be stopped.

And the things that have been excavated are very small parts of it.

Later, there was a large-scale collapse of the entire site, causing a lot of casualties. As a result, the excavation work had to be temporarily suspended. Those who are still alive begin to set up camp here, waiting for the time to come.

However, "the house leak happened to rain overnight", and a snowstorm blew that night. Directly put those in charge of excavation, frozen to death, frostbitten most of them. Thankfully, the weather was better and the climate wasn't so cold.

My grandfather and Peter, the two captains, were in charge of the front arrangements and took care of the wounded. However, nature is merciless: at this moment, there is another massive avalanche! Except for the six of them and some of the excavated treasures, the others were buried by the ice and snow in minutes.

Grandpa and the 6 of them happened to be spared because of their rich experience and special location. Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be more luck than lucky.

In the end, there was no way, grandpa and the six of them, with a small part of the treasure they had discovered, went back to their lives. Fortunately, the top brass of the Red side did not hold Grandpa accountable for their poor leadership. And this part of the wealth they unearthed solved the economic crisis of the red side in time. In general, the merits still outweigh the faults.

Later, the Red Army sent several more times to search for this remaining treasure. However, it was all in vain. Coupled with the special geographical conditions, the matter was put aside. (To be continued......)
