Chapter 42: The Rat Society Reappears
Seeing the blooming blue ghost fires, the leader Lao Sun waved his hand, making all of us hide our bodies.
Before leaving, Mr. Cheng repeatedly instructed that everything we traveled was based on Lao Sun's opinion, and this must not be shaken. So when Mr. Sun ordered, we squatted in the grass and did not dare to move. Because I had eaten the catfish's eyes, I had good eyesight and looked far away. I saw the blue flame floating up in the air, and below, there seemed to be several figures lying on the ground, looking sneaky. I guessed in my heart that these people were probably the guys Mr. Cheng was worried about, that is, special tomb robbers, intercepting the bells halfway. If they succeeded, we would probably cry tomorrow morning.
I have also seen such guys. Whether it is the Phoenix in Xiangxi or the Rat Society in Luoyang, they are all in this industry. As the current trend gradually becomes open, the proportion of money in people's lives is becoming more and more important. These people began to make money on the ancestors underground, digging graves and digging pits, and doing everything they can. However, those who are eyeing the goal of the scientific expedition team are probably having deeper attempts.
I was thinking about it here, thinking that Lao Sun would ask us to come forward and catch the thief. Unexpectedly, after a while of silence, he turned his head and asked us how many guns we had brought.
When we arrived at Shennongjia on this trip, in addition to the soldiers assigned by the military region, some people in the working group also equipped with guns, Xiao Lu and Gu Xia. These two are Type 64 police pistols, with small diameters and good power. The other one who came to join the army was equipped with a Type 56 submachine gun. There were three guns in total, and it was not enough to go to the battlefield, but for mere tomb robbers, they could already control the scene. I thought Lao Sun would instruct everyone to warn the black shadows under the blue fire, but I didn't expect him to tell us to shoot at those black shadows and kill them.
To be honest, if this happened on the battlefield, everyone would probably have executed it without hesitation. However, in peacetime, shooting people rashly is really unacceptable, and Lao Sun is not our direct leader at all, and no one will rashly take such danger. As a result, when Lao Sun said this, the three people wearing guns were stunned, but none of them followed his words to execute.
Lao Sun obviously had some expectations of this situation, so he turned to look at Dai Qiaojie and asked her to execute the order.
However, although Dai Qiaojie was appointed as the deputy team by Shen Chong, she was not a good leader. Her natural silence did not bring her good popularity and could not get a sense of recognition. Xiao Lu and Gu Xiaqin were not taken out, and they were silent. As for the soldier, he happened to be one of the two who had participated in the battle in the southern Xinjiang before. He had seen blood, but there was a shadow in his heart and the gun was also towards the bottom. Lao Sun's somewhat ruthless decision made our advance team a bit stalemate, and at this moment, one or two of the black shadows disappeared, and it seemed that they had gone down to the ground.
Lao Sun was a little anxious and did not discuss with anyone. Instead, he snatched the warrior's slight rush, stepped forward quickly, and almost without aiming, he shot a round at Shanaozi.
I also learned shooting at Wushan School. I saw that Lao Sun, the old man who shot was very standard, and the range of slight rushing was not far. However, the two black shadows that were still left outside fell down. After a round of shooting, Lao Sun did not stop at all. He jumped up from the low forest and rushed forward with a submachine gun. We did not be vague anymore and followed closely behind us. We were only a hundred meters apart and rushed to the front of each other at once. But under the blue ghost fire, two men covered in black fell into a pool of blood. In the pits that Zhang Zhiqing dug out during the day, on the far right side, the side had been dug to pieces by someone, becoming a thief hole that could allow one person to crawl.
Lao Sun hurried to the entrance of the cave, looked down, and shouted loudly: "The people inside came out, otherwise we would throw grenades!"
He was threatening and escorting the mission, and there was no need for grenades as exaggerated. Although we also brought explosives, they were all left in the village and not taken out, but this was quite threatening, because when the entrance of the cave exploded, the people inside immediately lost their exit, and the air blocked, and they could not survive immediately. However, the people inside did not believe Lao Sun's words, but heard a rustling sound, which seemed to be even further in. The cave was pitch black and it was not easy to turn around. Lao Sun did not dare to rush into it directly, but came to his senses and flipped over the two corpses in the pool of blood.
In a blink of an eye, people died in front of us. The change was too fast. Gu Xia and I were fine, while the rest of us were a little uncomfortable at that time. We looked at Lao Sun and we were somewhat guarded.
Lao Sun ignored these things. He took out a bronze medal from the neck of the corpse. On it, there was a little mouse with sharp teeth and sharp mouth floating vividly. When he shone it with a flashlight, the little mouse's eyes showed a fierce light, and seemed to be able to shake. Seeing this thing, he pounded the soil heavily and said hatefully: "Damn, I knew that the people from the mouse will interfere in this matter. That guy, for this legendary magic card, is really becoming smarter and smarter!"
No one around knew what Lao Sun was saying, but I grasped it a little because the "rat will" he was talking to himself.
As the name suggests, the Rat Society is actually a very professional tomb robbery organization. They first originated in the rural areas of the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty and were active in the Central Plains. It is said that the most prosperous deed was that they once provided technical support to the Dongling thief Sun Dianying and robbed Cixi's tomb. For a period of time, the Rat Society had always been dependent on Sun Dianying's army and did official business. Later, Sun Dianying fell into power, and the Rat Society was also severely damaged in the war. Only some of the backbone returned home and disappeared silently. However, in recent years, I heard that Yu Lin, the leader of the Rat Society, has frequently moved and has the momentum to reappear.
These are all found when I was bored in the second department. This is the benefit of special departments. Other places are used as confidential things. For us, we can only check some of them if we are interested.
After Lao Sun said this, I knew why he was so worried. If a mouse would intervene in this matter, it might be possible that he would be intercepted. After all, it was a professional tomb robber, and the means he could master were far more than we knew. I could understand Lao Sun's impatience, but what others saw was Lao Sun killing people randomly. Dai Qiaojie relied on her identity and reached out to block Lao Sun and said seriously: "Teacher Sun, if these people committed a problem, we will naturally solve it. If you kill people rashly, it will be very troublesome..."
When Lao Sun saw that the rat would take a step first, he felt a sense of evil fire in his heart. At this moment, he was familiar with this woman with black glasses. He immediately became angry and pointed at Sister Dai Qiao and said, "I'm afraid it's you who is troublesome. If this matter is messed up, you guys will not be able to take care of it."
Lao Sun's attitude made everyone present a little dissatisfied, and even I was a little unhappy. You know, we came here this time just to provide security guarantees for the scientific expedition team. Their main job is to excavate ancient tombs and cultural relics, rather than killing people and committing crimes. In fact, Lao Sun's behavior is a bit overstepping the authority. Even though he was the temporary commander ordered by Mr. Cheng, after all, even Mr. Cheng is not our direct boss. It makes no sense for him to get angry.
The atmosphere in the field was a little stiff, but Lao Sun ignored it at all. He looked at the blue ghost fire that was still floating, and muttered a word: "...thirteen dark fires hide the chest groove. The prophecy is right. If they are really let go, I am afraid that this entire area will cause endless disasters... No, no, I want to stop them!"
He seemed to be reciting some ancient text, his expression became more and more anxious. From time to time, he looked at the sky and the dark thief hole, and his whole body became nervous.
Lao Sun's appearance is very worried, but fortunately, the large army should arrive in more than half an hour, so we didn't worry too much, just wait here. However, we planned like this, Lao Sun did not stop. After a while of silent remark, he turned around and jumped out of the pit and prepared to drill into the thief hole that could only allow one person to crawl into. His behavior scared us all. Sister Dai Qiao, who was closest to him, grabbed his hand and stopped him loudly, "Teacher Sun, you can't go in, it's too dangerous here!"
Zhang Zhiqing was the most familiar with Lao Sun here, and advised him: "Teacher Sun, otherwise wait for my teacher and the others. The entrance of the cave is not big. If we light a fire here later, we will be able to smoke the people inside."
We were all persuading, but Lao Sun pointed the squid that he had just snatched from the warrior at us and shouted loudly: "You don't know anything at all. Don't stop me, otherwise I will shoot."
As we said this, we both stiffened our bodies and did not dare to move, for fear that the nervous Lao Sun would pull the trigger and "tumbling" us. When he was pointed at the gun, Dai Qiaojie's face was unstable. Seeing Lao Sun's mood becoming more and more irritable, she let go of his arm and turned her head to the warrior and said, "Comrade, give him a magazine."
