Chapter 31 [Looking for a Helper] (II)
The sparrow was just as strange as him, and he couldn't guess what kind of means Luo Xingmu used. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Luo Lie raised a torch to observe the cypress door, and soon found that the wooden strips around the door panel under the cypress door were all newly wedged, so it was speculated that Luo Xingmu should have locked the door first, and then camouflaged the door with mud, and then climbed into it through the hole in the lower door panel, and sealed the door panel below with wooden strips on the side of the church. Because people's attention is often focused on the eye level, it is easy to ignore the flaws under the wall, and there is nothing unusual after seeing through, but it can be seen that Luo Xingmu is meticulous.
The two continued to walk along the road, Luo Lie still has some understanding of the history of this church, the church was built in the fourth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and was burned down by the Boxers in 1900, when the Boxers conquered the Nanguan Church with the assistance of the Qing artillery fire, and burned the French Bishop Ji Long, five French priests, two Chinese priests, two nuns, and more than 400 believers all in the church. The current church was rebuilt in 1912 by the French Bishop of the Diocese of South Manchuria.
The relief in front of the restoration of the Bishop of Keiron led the believers to protect the church scene, the sparrow looked at the scene above the relief and his heart suddenly became heavy, walking through the front porch, there were large abandoned stone sculptures in front of him, many of the stone carvings still have scorched black traces. When the church is rebuilt, the ruins on the ruins of the church are buried on the spot.
Passing through the ruins, a dense cross appeared in front of the two men, and the sparrow bit her lower lip nervously.
Luo Lie said in a low voice: "If I guess correctly, this should be the burial place of those believers who were martyred in the Fengtian Sect. ”
The sparrow whispered, "Why did you build it underground? ”
Luo Lie said: "Those people's bones are gone, these crosses are equivalent to our common tablets in China, you look carefully, there are their names engraved below." ”
Sparrow nodded, but quickened her pace, although she didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world, but after all, there were too many dead people here, and everything in front of her made her feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart, and she wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Only to find a black coffin not far ahead, this coffin looked out of place among hundreds of crosses. The coffin stood upright, large at the top and small at the bottom, and placed in a very strange position.
Luo Lie also walked over at this time, followed the sparrow's gaze, but saw that the coffin was painted with white paint with three big characters - Ma Boxuan.
The sparrow's pretty face turned red with anger, his father had died, he was buried in Japan, how could there be a coffin of his kind here? Everything in front of him was clearly done by Luo Xingmu, what did he want to do? The sparrow came to the coffin, and Luo Lie reminded her: "Don't touch this coffin. Luo Xingmu should have written Ma Boxuan's name on the coffin on purpose, and he should have calculated that Ma Boxuan's descendants would come here.
Luo Lie first touched the coffin with his hand, then lowered his body and put his ear on the coffin to listen carefully to the movement inside, and made sure that there was no sound, and then carefully removed the coffin lid.
The sparrow raised a torch to illuminate the inside of the coffin, but saw that there were some clothes and some field exploration equipment in the coffin, and the sparrow picked up a German-made ordnance shovel, and the handle of the ordnance shovel was engraved with his father's name, and the sparrow's breathing became short, and her beautiful eyes burst into tears: "These are all my father's relics!"
Luo Lie took out the contents of the contents, the sparrow opened the canvas bag, and cleaned up the same items, including a compass, a telescope, a saber and some medicines that had long expired, and what attracted her attention the most was a map, on which the key points were marked with a brush.
Luo Lie said: "This is a trap. "It should be Luo Xingmu who deliberately laid a maze here, with the intention of introducing the sparrow into the game.
Sparrow shook his head and said, "I can see that this is my father's handwriting, and others can't imitate it." She said to Luo Lie: "I'm going to Pale Mountain, the sooner the better!"
Luo Lie nodded, the road ahead had been blocked by huge stones, it seemed that Luo Xingmu had blocked the exit before leaving, judging from the weight of the boulder, it should be difficult to do it with manpower alone, nine times out of ten it was to use the explosion to cause the exit to collapse, and their search could only end here temporarily.
It was still a little insufficient to go to Pale Mountain just by relying on their current manpower, after all, they were not going there this time for a simple expedition, and they were likely to have to fight against Xiao Tianxing, a bandit entrenched in Black Tiger Ridge. Luo Lie thought of the Englishman Arnold Teuton, who had served in the British Royal Air Force in the past, good at controlling various vehicles and mechanical maintenance, just the kind that was most lacking in their team, the sparrow was called Chang Fa, which was also Fober's proposal, Chang Fa was strong in martial arts, hard-working, and he had very rich social experience, he had almost run all over Manchuria in his early years, and he had also been to Pale Mountain, and he knew the local customs very well, and the most rare thing was that Chang Fa was loyal to the sparrow, and with him by the side of the sparrow, the safety of the sparrow was guaranteed。
After seven days of preparation, their small team all gathered at the Roche Wood Factory in Mukden, and in order to wish the operation a smooth operation, the sparrow made a table of good dishes by hand. During the days of planning and preparation, she took the initiative to take on the work of cooking, and even the blind man with an extremely picky mouth had to admit that her cooking skills were first-class.
Arnold Teuton is a drunkard and gambler, he was attracted to Mukden by a thousand yuan this time, three hundred yuan is prepaid, and there are seven hundred left, but this guy has lost all the three hundred yuan before coming to Mukden, so he can only honestly come over to earn the remaining seven hundred yuan.
Changfa is very respectful in front of sparrows, and always regards himself as a servant. Since he arrived, he has been preparing for tomorrow's departure, and if it weren't for Sparrow's insistence that he eat with him, he wouldn't have been at the same table anyway.
The blind man was a little excited by the addition of newcomers, typical people came crazy, regarded themselves as the elders of the team, after a few glasses of wine, there were obviously a lot more words, he said in a big way: "Our expedition team is officially established from now on, but everything must have rules, and we are no exception, right?"
Often drinks without saying a word, he belongs to the taciturn type, and is classified by the blind man to the role of three sticks who can't beat a fart, the follower of the sparrow, and has the lowest status in the team. The blind man didn't think he was low-key, but only thought that Changfa was timid, so he looked down on Changfa even more.
Arnold Teuton burped and said, "I think, come up with a name first, just like the Royal Air Force, you have to have a name." ”
The blind man nodded again and again: "Arnold is right, you have to give it a name, this is the famous division! Let's go to the Black Tiger Ridge of Pale Mountain, simply call it the Tiger Fighting Death Squad, majestic and domineering! Raise your hand in agreement!" He himself took the lead in raising his hand, but none of the other four responded, the sparrow floated a disdainful look, the blind man was a little embarrassed, coughed and said: "Luo Lie, what do you think!"
Luo Lie said softly: "It's better to call it Hunting Wind!" The reason why it is called Hunting Wind is because they also went to Black Tiger Ridge for another purpose to steal the Seven Treasures Wind Shelter Talisman, although he excluded Ye Qinghong from the task, but he did not forget the agreement between them, a promise of gold, not to mention that the price given by Ye Qinghong was 100,000 oceans.
The blind man was trying to belittle Luo Lie for a few words, but his heart was not very good, and he was not as good as his tiger death squad. The sparrow has been the first to raise its hand to pass, and the sparrow raises its hand often and naturally raises its hand. Arnold Teutonic said: "Hunting wind, I like it, I like the name." ”
The blind man glared at him and said, "You know how to write wind characters as a foreigner, do you know how to write wind characters?"
Arnold Teutonic said: "Hunting hunt, majestic wind, I am the British Royal Air Force, I am the child of the wind, I like it!"
The blind man snorted: "You are the son of the wind, the wind is your father, we are hunting the wind, didn't you hunt your father?"
A group of people burst into laughter, but Arnold Teuton disagreed, and laughed: "If I find my father, I will kill him!"
Everyone was stunned by his words, I don't know what kind of hatred this foreign devil has with his father, looking at Arnold's flushed face, he should have drunk too much, and nine times out of ten it is drunken nonsense.
The three votes passed, and the blind man also nodded and said: "Then it's called the Hunting Wind Death Squad!" People don't walk without heads, birds don't fly without heads, we should choose the captain next, I choose Luo Hunt, there's no doubt about this, right?"
The three sparrows raised their hands at the same time, and the blind man did not expect it to go so smoothly.
Luo Lie smiled: "Since everyone trusts me so much, then I have to bite the bullet and do this errand, I will try to serve you well in this operation." ”
The blind man said again: "The captain is here, and then choose the vice captain, this errand is thankless, or I'll come!"
Arnold laughed, and Chang Fa shook his head: "Why?"
The blind man said: "Looking for the dragon point, standing to divide the gold, no one here can surpass me, right?"
Chang Fa seemed to be on a par with the blind man: "In terms of intelligence, martial arts, and virtue, do you think you can be on the stage like that?" Luo Lie will be the captain of the team, and I will not agree to you as the deputy captain, not to mention that there are only five of us in total, and we don't need two leaders, if you really want two, it should be my young lady, and it won't be your turn." ”
"You ......"
