Chapter Eighty-Seven: Treasures of World War II: Diary
The discovery of this circular marked stone means that this was one of the resting places for Japanese convoys at that time.
Putting the stone into the space, Zheng Jing's scene metal detector found it nearby.
Not long after, Zheng Jing found a cave in a place overgrown with vines and plants not far from the waterfall.
In order to make sure that there were no poisonous snakes or anything like that inside, Zheng Jing took out the mountain opening knife and cleaned up the plants outside the cave.
Seeing the cave exposed, Zheng Jing took out a strong flashlight and walked in.
The cave is not very deep, about three meters and a half, but it is very spacious, about half a football field.
I don't know if there was anything left behind when the Japanese were resting here.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jing took a flashlight and looked for it.
"Dididi!"
When the detector detected a stone, Zheng Jing suddenly heard the metal detector in his hand ring.
There's something down here.
Hearing the sound of the metal detector, Zheng Jing hurriedly put the flashlight and metal detector aside, and then grabbed the stone with both hands and lifted it up vigorously.
Lifting the stone and putting it aside, Zheng Jing hurriedly looked under the stone.
Underneath the stone, is a canned box with only an exposed lid.
I pulled the lid with my hand, and the lid was very strong and couldn't be pulled.
Could it be that there is an unopened can inside?
Zheng Jing guessed in his heart what would be inside, and then dug out the canned box as he dug it out.
The box was seven or eight centimeters high, very light, and I didn't hear anything in it when I shook it, and I didn't know what it would be.
took out a tool from the space to open the lid, and when he saw the contents inside, Zheng Jing was stunned for a moment.
What is it?
Book?
In the jar, a thin "book" is quietly erected in the box.
Carefully taking things out, Zheng Jing smoothed out the "book" and found that it was actually a diary.
The diary has turned yellow on the outside, but it is well preserved in the jar and there is no damage.
On the cover of the diary, the name of a person is written.
"Takayamabara!"
I think this person called Takayamahara should be the owner of this diary.
I just don't know why he hid his diary here.
I couldn't figure it out, Zheng Jing sat on the stone, holding a flashlight in one hand and opening the diary with the other.
"I don't know if the cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming?"
Seeing the content of the first page, Zheng Jing turned back again.
Takayamahara: "Today is the second day in the forest, and we found a waterfall.
It wasn't very good today, and the squadron leader said it might rain today.
Luckily, we had already covered all the cars with rainproof cloths when we arrived.
The weather changed so fast that before we could eat, the rain began to fall.
The rain was so heavy that the ground was so slippery that the mules couldn't move at all.
For safety, the squadron leader decided to stop the advance and find a place to shelter from the rain.
With the blessing of the emperor, we found a natural cave here, and finally we didn't have to get wet in the rain.
By the time the rain stopped, it was noon on the third day.
As the sky cleared, the squadron leader ordered us to eat on the spot.
After eating, we led the mules and continued our departure. ”
Day 4.
"We came to a place on a gentle terrain, and when I came here, I realized that there were already a lot of people here.
In the distance, expropriated villagers are digging tunnels.
On the ground on the other side, there are a lot of boxes.
I know that these chests are full of looted treasures.
As far as I know, these treasures are only one ten-thousandth of all treasures.
This place is just one of all the hidden gems. ”
The fifth day of coming here.
"I thought we'd leave after we got the treasure here, but the squadron leader told us to surround the mountain and not let anyone in.
If you want to leave, you have to wait until you have buried the treasures. ”
Day 6.
"Stood on the guard for a day."
Day 7.
"Stood on the guard for a day."
……
Day 10.
"Today, I finally don't have to stand guard, I heard that the tunnel has been dug, and today we will watch these villagers put their treasures into the underground tunnel."
"In the afternoon, all the treasures have been put underground, and in order to prevent these villagers from leaking the news, we blew them all down and let them guard the treasures forever."
Day 11
"This is my eleventh day here, and today we're leaving here.
Before leaving, the squadron leader asked us to leave some marks on some trees and stones along the way.
The mark was left in the hope that after the victory of the war, he would come and dig up the treasure and take it away.
In order to keep the treasure safe, in addition to leaving markers along the way, we also laid some mines.
In order for His Majesty the Emperor to send someone to look for them in the future, we recorded the location of these mines. ”
Day 12
"Today I learned bad news, His Excellency the Captain told us that we, the transports, were going to the front line to fight the Americans.
When I heard the news, I was scared, I didn't like the war, I wanted to go home, but I was just an ordinary transporter, and my opinion didn't change anything.
After resting, I was leaving, and before leaving, I thought about it for a long time and decided to bury this journal under the stones of rest.
Let's just bury it here forever. ”
After reading the diary, Zheng Jing found that there were two more in the back.
When I looked over it, I saw that there were several kinds of markings drawn on it.
There are markings such as triangles, circles, arrows, squares, etc.
It is also not known what these marks represent.
Seeing that there was still a page, Zheng Jing turned back and found that there was nothing on the last page.
It's a blank slate.
How is this not?
Scratching his head, Zheng Jing looked at it again, making sure that there was no intention of the annotation mark on the diary.
Forget it, if you don't have it, you won't have it.
Putting the diary into the space, Zheng Jing took the metal detector and continued to search in the cave.
After searching the entire cave, nothing useful was found, except for a few rusty cans.
"Boom!"
Just as Zheng Jing left the cave, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the rear.
Looking at the smoke billowing in the distance, Zheng Jing's face became a little unsightly.
Made, it seems that he really guessed correctly, those pictures must have been deliberately let by Silang and Joseph.
I don't know if it was Silang and Joseph who came with them, or if the whole Connor village came?
Zheng Jing decided to go back and have a look.
After passing through the minefield and walking some distance further, Zheng Jing suddenly stopped.
Hiding behind a big tree, Zheng Jing looked forward cautiously.
Ahead, a group of people were looking at the villagers who had been blown to pieces with ugly faces.
Seeing the small circle of stones on the side, those villagers who were killed by the explosion must have triggered the mines.
Zheng Jing looked at the fragments of the human body and looked at the group of people.
At the head of the group were none other than Silang and Joseph.
Behind them were the villagers of Connor.
Some people have also seen it.
"Isn't it safe here? How can there be mines? Joseph looked at Shilang with an ugly face.
"You ask me how I know that the mark on this stone was chiseled by us together, and everyone was there."
When Silang heard Joseph's words, he went back directly.
"And what happened to that mine? Could it be that we didn't meet it last time because we were lucky? Joseph thought.
Xilang shook his head, looked at the human fragments on the ground, covered his nose and said, "It shouldn't be, I feel that the mine just now was laid out by the special adviser of the Animal Protection Association."
"How is it possible, we have checked his backpack, and there is nothing in it except clothes and food." Joseph said.
Hearing Joseph's words, Xilang couldn't figure it out.
How could a landmine suddenly appear in this good place, is it really there all along?
It's just that they didn't trigger it last time?
Looking at Xilang's thinking, Joseph looked into the depths of the mountain forest and said, "Don't think about it, he should have heard the explosion just now, let's think about what to do, do you want to go in?"
"Of course go in, if you don't go in, wouldn't the three people just now die in vain?"
After speaking, Xilang looked at the villagers behind him and said: "The mine just now should have been laid by the Japanese army, but we were lucky last time and didn't trigger it, but this time we were unlucky and lost three people."
Two people were left to get the pieces together and bury them on the spot.
For the rest of us, let's move on. ”
Zheng Jing, who was in the distance, heard Xilang's words and decided to give them a ruthless blow.
Glancing at them with the eyes of a dead man, Zheng Jing turned and left.
Quickly returning to the minefield, Zheng Jing cleaned up the traces left just now, and then deliberately walked a few steps in the dangerous direction of the minefield.
Seeing the marks left on the weeds, I thought, "They've eaten a pot after this time."
Leaving the minefield, Zheng Jing didn't pay attention to them.
Now, the most important thing is to find the treasure.
When he came to the waterfall, Zheng Jing took out the treasure map and looked at the route, and found that from here, he had to go up.
That is, from here, climb up to the top of the waterfall.
I opened the system map and looked at it, and the light point representing the treasure has not yet appeared.
It seems that the treasure is still far from here.
Coming to the bottom of the waterfall, Zheng Jing found a stone wall that had not been dried and climbed up.
When he came to the waterfall, Zheng Jing realized that this waterfall was flowing down from the mountain.
It seems that there must be a spring on the mountain.
After looking at the direction of the minefield, Zheng Jing took the metal detector and walked down the creek to the depths.
I don't know how far I walked, Zheng Jing suddenly saw a red arrow mark on a dead tree.
If you look in the direction of the arrow, you will see that it is east.
Is it going east?
I took out the treasure map and looked at it, and judging from the road map, it was indeed going east.
After determining the direction, Zheng Jing took out the mountain knife and destroyed the mark on the trunk.
Destroy the markers, clean the ground of traces, and head east.
Looking at the surrounding trees, Zheng Jing carefully observed.
From Takayama Hara's diary, Zheng Jing learned a piece of information.
That is, the place where the Japanese army buried the treasure was bombed at that time.
Therefore, Zheng Jing guessed that the trees on the treasure must be different from the surrounding trees.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Zheng Jing saw a scratch mark on the trunk of a teak tree in front of him.
Judging from the height and size of the traces, it is supposed that the Japanese convoy passed by here when the chariot gang touched this teak.
Looking at the distance from the other teak tree, he found that his position was indeed the widest place.
Looking at the scratches on the trunk, Zheng Jing suddenly thought of something.
Open the system map, and a red dot of light is flashing on the map.
Sure enough, it appeared.
After taking a look at the location of the treasure, Zheng Jing picked up the metal detector and walked forward.
After walking for about five minutes, Zheng Jing suddenly noticed that the trees around him had become sparse.
Thinking of the record in Takayamabara's diary, it seems that this is where the treasure is located.
Turning the metal detector to its maximum power, Zheng Jing came to the middle and began to probe.
I don't know how deep the villagers dug the tunnel at that time.
"Dididi!"
As soon as he turned on the metal detector, Zheng Jing heard the horn of the metal detector "Di Di Di" sound.
Looking at the ground, Zheng Jing left a mark on the ground with a mountain opener.
Then, Zheng Jing followed the mark and probed around.
After exploring all the surroundings, Zheng Jing already knew the specific location of the treasure.
Coming to the location marked just now, Zheng Jing took out a sapper shovel and began to dig.
Judging by the information just detected, this is the only place where the metal detector sounds.
I think the Japanese army put all the treasure here.
……………
"Xilang, where are we going now?"
Not far from the minefield, Xilang and his party walked over from a distance.
Xilang took out a map and looked at it, pointed ahead and said, "Go ahead." Pay attention to your feet as you walk to see if there are any signs of someone stepping on them. ”
Xilang looked at the route on the map and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
When he is old, his physical strength is not at all, and he still has to pay attention to whether there are mines around.
The high concentration of his mind made him a little overwhelmed.
"Xilang, I have traces of stampede here."
"And what? Let me see. ”
Seeing the fresh stampede marks on the ground, Xilang smiled happily.
Hahaha.
"Let's follow this trace, be careful, and stay safe." Xilang said to everyone.
The people of Xilang followed the traces deliberately left by Zheng Jing all the way to the edge of the minefield.
Seeing the dense forest in front of him, Xilang's eyelids jumped, as if something bad was going to happen.
Unfortunately, the Filipinos didn't believe this, and Xilang thought it was caused by his own concentration too much.
Rubbing his eyes, Xilang took the lead and led everyone into the minefield.
"Boom! Bang! ”
With a loud bang, followed by several loud bangs.
The three Josephs, who were cleaning up the human tissues of the three unlucky ghosts in the back, heard a loud noise in front of them, and they all grew their mouths in shock.
Joseph felt a vibration on the ground, dropped what he was holding, and ran forward.
Zheng Jing, who was digging for the treasure, heard the sound and raised his head to see the smoke rising into the air.
Seeing the mushroom-like smoke, Zheng Jing knew that Xilang and they had entered the pit.
I don't know how many were killed by the explosion?
Shaking his head and ignoring them, Zheng Jing continued to dig with an armor shovel.
