Li Bojian knocked on the door and walked in, served a pot of tea to Chen Ziyang and Mrs. Du, and the two of them picked up the water cup at the same time and took a sip.

What Mrs. Du said was a dry mouth, and Chen Ziyang was also excited when she heard it, as if there was a fire burning in her heart, and she felt a lot more relieved under a mouthful of water.

Looking at Li Bojian's back when he left, Chen Ziyang's heart swelled with a lot of questions. It seems that Li Bojian and Mrs. Du have known each other for a long time, what is the relationship between the two of them? What is the relationship between Li Bojian and the Du family? I think that after Mrs. Du finishes talking about things, she should get the answer she wants.

"It was at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and my mother found an ancient tomb, and although my mother pulled up a large team of people, there were few people who could really be regarded as backbones. So my mother was still a pioneer, and whenever a large tomb was discovered, she always had to go out herself.

At that time, my mother was very experienced, and it can be said that by looking at it, you can know whether there is an ancient tomb hidden under the mountain and river, and you can know what the shape of the ancient tomb is, and you can choose the location of the robbery hole at a glance.

After exploring the surrounding environment, my mother chose a place to dig a hole, and what people didn't expect was that my mother went down with a shovel and broke the soil layer directly.

It turned out that the soil on the surface of the place where my mother chose to dig the thief hole was actually hidden, and it was a camouflage made of wooden planks and floating earth, which was not a small discovery, and my mother was cautious at that time, and she found that there was already a robbery hole here.

It stands to reason that there is a robbery hole near the ancient tomb, many of which have been stolen and dug many times, but the most strange thing for my mother is that this robbery hole is newly dug.

Not only that, but when my mother went into the thief's hole and took a brief look, she noticed something even more strange.

This hole of thieves felt very familiar to my mother. Whether it is the place where the hole is dug, the angle at which the hole is cut, and the direction in which the hole is excavated, it seems to be from my mother's handwriting.

Although the thief hole was not dug through, it shocked my mother a lot, she squatted at the end of the thief hole and thought for a while, and quickly figured out the reason.

This hole was definitely not dug by the Du family, and other tomb robbers could not have dug the hole so similar to my mother's style, so the reasoning is very simple, this hole is very likely to be dug by the Chen family, or it may be dug by a person who is proficient in the "Civil Engineering Collection".

Although the robbery hole has not been dug through, it is very close to being dug through, and as long as you dig a few more hours to steal the hole, you can enter the tomb. Judging by the newness of the earth, my mother found that the most recent excavation of the cave must have been the day before, so it is very likely that the diggers will soon return here.

The lessons of the old Chen family have always been remembered in my mother's heart, and she doesn't want the Du family to become the second Chen family, and if they are arrested, they will become a tool for the Japanese or warlords to accumulate money.

Therefore, the style of the Du family's tomb robbery is different, and it adopts a fast-in and fast-out style of play. Basically, it takes no more than three days to spend on each tomb, otherwise it will be easy to find.

The unique era limited the scale of the excavation of the ancient tombs by the Du family. Although every tomb robbery does not necessarily take away all the burial goods in the tomb, safety is more important than taking a few more burial goods.

It was precisely because of these reasons, coupled with the fact that the location of the ancient tomb at that time was in an area controlled by the Japanese, and the movement of the team was inconvenient, so the number of people brought out by my mother at that time was not large, only eleven people, except for two or three backbones, most of the rest of the people had no experience and only came to contribute.

With this in mind, my mother led the team to evacuate the tomb and cover up the cave again. I found a place in the distance to hide, and wanted to see who the person who dug the thief hole was.

By daybreak, a team of more than 30 people had come from a distance. Before this team appeared, my mother couldn't understand why these cave diggers didn't camp directly around the tomb, but stayed away from the cave they dug and rested elsewhere, and when this team appeared, she understood why.

It turned out that this team of thieves was led by Japan, so it is no wonder that they were able to dig the ancient tombs in the open in broad daylight.

In the ranks of more than 30 people, there were more than 20 coolies, and there were six or seven Japanese soldiers, and in addition to that, there were five or six people. My mother could see at a glance that these five or six people were extraordinary, and they had come out of the tomb at a glance, and although my mother had not been robbing the tomb for a long time, she smelled the same smell from these people.

As soon as I saw the Japanese, my mother couldn't hold it. Her hatred for the Japanese was not overwhelming against those bloody men, but my mother did not lose her mind, and she did not act rashly. Don't look at the fact that there are only a few Japanese soldiers, but it is not so easy to deal with.

Because she guessed that there might be people from the Chen family mixed in the team, my mother hid and observed for a long time, but she didn't see the Chen family among the tomb robbers, so she ignored the previous cave robbery, thinking that it was just a coincidence, and the cave robbery was not the hand of the Chen family at all.

But how did she know that the Chen family was indeed in the team, but the Chen family in the team was not the capable second child of the Chen family she was familiar with, but the child who was only eleven years old when he left home, and he was the immature fifth child of the Chen family. After all these years, the appearance of the fifth child of the Chen family has long changed, and my mother has not recognized him at all. ”

When Mrs. Du's words came to this, Chen Ziyang knew what was going on. Mrs. Du's words happened to be connected with what she heard Chen Benzhong say when she was in Huhai City.

At first, Chen Benzhong thought that he was going to be shot, but he was dragged to Changchun, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, and was favored by Yoshioka Anzhi and became a member of Yoshioka Anzhi's tomb robbery team.

Although Yoshioka Anaoka's tomb robbers are mainly active in the northeast, while robbing tombs while looking for the dragon vein treasures of the Qing Dynasty, when ancient tombs are found elsewhere, occasionally Yoshioka Anao will quietly send a tomb robber team to search for valuable antiques for him.

It seems that Mrs. Du's mother met Chen Benzhong's tomb robbery team belonging to Yoshioka Yasunao, which is really a coincidence. However, from Mrs. Du's words, Chen Ziyang judged that what happened next was not the recognition of separated relatives, but like a life-and-death fight.

"Seeing that there were no familiar people in the ranks of the Japanese, my mother made a decision at that time, she was no longer interested in the tombs, but wanted to eliminate the team.

To be honest, it may be hard for you to imagine that a woman would have such an idea in those days, my mother hated the Japanese, and it was the Japanese who drove them out of their homeland, so my mother would often fund anti-Japanese teams, but this was the first time I had a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese.

In the past, she occasionally encountered Japanese people digging ancient tombs, but usually the Japanese excavated ancient tombs to catch a large number of strong men, large-scale excavation in an orderly manner, and usually the Japanese soldiers guarding the excavation site had as many as a squadron. And the team in front of him only has a few Japanese soldiers, which is really a rare opportunity.

However, at that time, my mother's team only had a few box guns, and this kind of firepower should not be able to defeat the Japanese soldiers head-on, and besides, there were probably Japanese garrisons nearby, so if they did, they would have to fight quickly. So my mother figured out what to do, and they had to wait.

According to my mother's estimate, the Japanese soldiers will not go down to the tomb, and it is very likely that they will send someone down after the hole is dug up, while the Japanese will stay outside the tomb. By that time, it should be easier to launch a surprise attack on them.

But after the hole was dug up, a strange scene happened. A man dressed in civilian clothes actually commanded the Japanese soldiers, and then the Japanese escorted the more than 20 coolies into the ancient tomb together, leaving only two people to guard the outside of the robbery cave.

This scene made my mother unable to understand why a Chinese could command the Japanese soldiers if the Japanese entered the tomb to prevent the coolies from escaping and supervise their work.

My mother was so sure that the man commanding the Japanese soldiers was Chinese because he was not a Luo Huan leg, and although he spoke some Japanese, he was more fluent in Chinese with some Northeast accents.

It was only at this time that my mother discovered that the real captain of this tomb robbery team was not a Japanese, but a Chinese who could speak Japanese.

It's weird. At that time, even the senior officers of the puppet army nodded when they saw an ordinary Japanese soldier, and called Taijun, how can this Chinese be able to command several Japanese soldiers at the same time.

So my mother made this man her first target, even before the Japanese soldiers. The reason is simple, first, this person can rob tombs, second, this person can speak Japanese, and third, he can also command Japanese soldiers. So this person must be extraordinary, it is estimated that he is a big traitor with a very high status.

Let such a person live, I don't know how many ancient tombs will be stolen and dug up by him, and I don't know how many treasures left by our ancestors will fall into the hands of the Japanese.

So my mother changed her plan, and after quietly getting rid of the two people who stayed outside the cave, she led the team into the ancient tomb, preparing to use the complex terrain in the ancient tomb to eliminate the Japanese tomb robber team.

While rummaging for weapons from the two men who had been killed and left outside the tomb, my mother found that there was a brand on both of them, which looked like a shovel had been pierced through a dragon's head. ”

Even if Mrs. Du didn't say it, Chen Ziyang guessed that the pattern of the brand should be the pattern representing the Dragon Digging Society.

But what Mrs. Du said about Chen Ziyang didn't understand a little, he had already guessed that the person who could order the Japanese should be his fifth grandfather Chen Benzhong, but how to talk about it, as if his fifth grandfather was a big traitor, which was different from what Chen Benzhong said at the beginning.

Chen Benzhong said at the beginning that he robbed the tombs of the Japanese not out of his own volition, but completely to live, and he didn't want to be a traitor at all. But what Mrs. Du said was a different story. Chen Ziyang didn't know whose words were more credible, so he decided to listen to it.

"What is the most terrible person in the world, the person who does not want to die. As long as you can put your life at risk, there's nothing you can't do.

My mother had been fearless since her first solitary grave, and although there were few good men under her command, there were a few outlaws.

With the help of the terrain and mechanisms in the ancient tomb, they not only successfully killed those Japanese soldiers, but also killed those few people who were proficient in tomb robbing, and when the remaining dozen or so living coolies escaped from the ancient tomb, only the leader of the Japanese team in the entire ancient tomb remained.

My mother's team also suffered heavy losses, and there were only three people left, including her. In fact, you should be able to guess that the team leader is your fifth grandfather, Chen Benzhong.

Chen Benzhong was barricaded in the main burial chamber. When he panicked and thought he was going to die, he was surprised to find that the woman who was standing in front of him and was about to kill him was actually the little girl adopted by his father.

And my mother was also very surprised when she looked at Chen Benzhong standing next to a strange black plant. Everything came so suddenly, my mother and Chen Benzhong were both stunned.

During the time they were taken hostage, it can be said that these two people of the same age grew up together and spent their childhood together.

Although so many years of friendship have sprung up in my mother's heart, she still can't tolerate her relatives becoming traitors and helping the Japanese steal the treasures left by their ancestors.

So my mother made a very difficult decision, she didn't kill Chen Benzhong, but she took all the digging tools and blew up the passage, trapping Chen Benzhong in the solid main burial chamber. Whether it is life or death is left to God to decide. ”

Chen Ziyang was also stunned, he didn't expect that what happened would be like this. Although he didn't want to believe that his fifth grandfather was a big traitor, through Chen Benzhong's attitude towards the Du family, he vaguely guessed that it was very likely that Mrs. Du was telling the truth.

If this incident hadn't happened, Chen Benzhong would not have hated the Du family so much. Although it seems that Chen Benzhong was not trapped in that ancient tomb, he must have suffered a lot.

A person who has no digging tools is trapped in a dark ancient tomb, and the psychological torture alone is not something that ordinary people can bear.

No wonder Chen Benzhong was furious when he heard about the Du family. In his eyes, the Du family is no longer a relative, but the enemy he wants to eliminate the most.
