Chapter 3: Stepping on the Point
After eating, Gao Mingcheng pulled Gao Zhuang to the north of Niuwei Ridge, and when he walked to the foot of the mountain, Gao Zhuang asked him, "What are we doing here?" ”
Gao Mingcheng didn't say it directly, only said that he was taking him to see a good thing.
Speaking of this, Gao Zhuang became interested and followed Gao Mingcheng to climb the mountain with great interest.
They are in a hilly area, with many mountains and little water, but fortunately, there are some low mountains near the village, and you have to climb two or three low mountains in a row to enter the deep mountains.
In the past, Gao Zhuang often followed Gao Mingcheng to run around the mountains, or picking wild fruits, or collecting firewood, or digging birds' eggs, etc., but most of them were only active in a few nearby mountains.
But this time, Gao Mingcheng directly led him into the mountains.
The August day was a hot time, but at this time, I was in the deep mountains, and I only felt a burst of coolness.
The trees grew taller and taller, the ground was full of fallen leaves, and the intrusion of the two alarmed the birds and beasts in the mountain, and from time to time the sound of birds and beasts flying away could be heard.
Gao Jian's physical fitness is not as good as Gao Mingcheng's, and he is already a little out of breath.
"Brother Mingcheng, what are we going to do?" Gao Zhuang asked again.
Gao Mingcheng walked in front, looked left and right, identified the direction, and when he saw the huge camphor tree on the other side of the mountain, his eyes lit up.
He pointed to the camphor tree and said, "Let's go there, let's go!" ”
After speaking, he continued to walk towards the camphor tree, tall and tired, but he didn't dare to fall, he followed closely behind Gao Mingcheng, and after walking for about five minutes, they walked to the bottom of the camphor tree.
Gao Zhuang looked up at the camphor tree, and felt that there seemed to be nothing different except for the higher point and the bigger point.
Gao Zhuang was looking at the trees, but Gao Mingcheng was looking at the ground.
There is a small hillside-like clearing next to the camphor tree, on which only some weeds and low shrubs grow, ordinary people will not suspect when they see it, only when the camphor tree is too big, it shades the nearby sun, so there are no other big trees to grow.
But Gao Mingcheng knows that there is a lot of articles in this vacant land!
"Brother Mingcheng, what are we doing here?" Gao Zhuang didn't see anything different here, and looked at Gao Mingcheng strangely.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the ground that had not been destroyed by anyone, and showed a smile, he pointed to the small hillside and told Gao Zhuang: "Below here is a tomb, the tomb of the Song Dynasty." ”
Gao Zhuangben stepped on the small hillside, and when he heard this, he almost jumped up, and hurriedly walked down the small hillside, his face full of disbelief: "Isn't it?" How do you know? Don't scare me! ”
Gao Mingcheng looked at his timid appearance and couldn't help but sigh twice.
In the previous life, a group of tomb robbers came from outside the village, and after they found out, they first drove people away and refused to let them go into the mountains to dig graves, and then the two sides negotiated and agreed to take them to dig graves together, and the things dug up were divided equally between the two sides.
Later, relying on the first pot of gold obtained by robbing the tomb, Gao Mingcheng left this small mountain village with Gao Zhuang, and fell into the rolling red dust, they went south to Xiangjiang, bravely entered the Special Economic Zone, made a fortune in Yangcheng, and went to the magic city and the capital, after going south and north for more than ten years, they harvested career and money, but at the same time lost a lot.
Gao Zhuang lost his life, and Gao Mingcheng also lost the love of his wife and children.
Thinking of all the things in his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had mixed feelings in his heart.
It was now the end of August, and he remembered that after the school started in September, someone touched them in the mountains, but when they stepped on the spot, they were caught by a group of young people led by him, and then after some expulsion and negotiation, the grave was officially dug on September 8.
According to the time, there are still a few days left, but after Gao Mingcheng is reborn, he still hopes to come here to take a look in person to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
"Let's go!" Seeing that the tomb had not been dug up, Gao Mingcheng was relieved, and after greeting him, he walked down the mountain.
"Hey......" Gao Zhuang is a little inexplicable.
He chased after him and asked in a machine-gun manner, "What are you bringing me here for?" Just to see the tomb? Is there really a tomb down here? ”
"Of course, now that I've finished reading, I can go." What Gao Mingcheng said was a matter of course.
Gao Zhuang touched the back of his head, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what Gao Mingcheng said, but also feeling that something was wrong. He is not very clever in his brain, and often follows behind Gao Mingcheng, often doing what Gao Mingcheng says.
Now Gao Mingcheng obviously didn't want to say it, and after Gao Zhuang was entangled for a while, he calmed down.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, but it's not difficult for the two of them, as half of the mountain people, going over the mountains or something, it's as simple as drinking water and eating.
When he got down the mountain, Gao Mingcheng assigned Gao Zhuang a task.
"Gao Zhuang, in the next few days, you will go to the foot of this mountain if you are fine, and if you see someone who wants to enter the mountain, come and tell me immediately, you know?" Gao Mingcheng's tone is serious, and he has a kind of style to do great things.
"Good!" Gao Zhuang habitually nodded in response.
Gao Mingcheng handed over the task of stalking to Gao Zhuang, and he was not idle, he had no money in his pocket now, and it was inconvenient to do things, so he had to get some money first.
He took the tools he had at his disposal, and went up to another hill, which was a little farther from their village, but the vegetation was more abundant, and there were often traces of pheasants and hares, and he planned to lay a few traps here, and then check them every once in a while.
Looking at the simple trap he had arranged, Gao Mingcheng remembered the scene when he once went into the mountains to hunt with a shotgun after he developed in his previous life, and that picture was the real scenery.
With a shot in hand, it's okay to overturn a big boar!
It wasn't until after the ban on guns and hunting that he didn't go into the mountains to hunt.
"When that group of tomb robbers comes, I'll give this credit to Uncle Gao Guobing, and see if I can get a second-hand shotgun from him." Gao Mingcheng thought secretly in his heart.
Gao Guobing is also from their village, but eight years ago, he was promoted to the county seat, and now he is a head of the police department, and has investigated many big and important cases.
The relationship between Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing is not particularly familiar, mainly because of the difference in seniority, and they can't go together, but he and Gao Guobing's two sons are young, and their relationship has always been very good.
It's just that now Gao Guobing's eldest son Gao Hong has joined the army as a soldier, and his younger son Gao Yue is still in high school.
Gao Mingcheng went through what he was going to do in his mind, and then came to the edge of the largest reservoir in their village.
They are hilly, with many mountains and little water, and there is not a decent river in the whole county, and all the towns and villages rely on large and small reservoirs for water supply.
There are three reservoirs in their village, one large, two small and the largest reservoir with a water surface of 17 acres, so it is also connected to another village, which is shared by two villages.
