Chapter 1 The Nameless Mountain
I stood in front of my grandfather's coffin, looking at the black and white photos of my grandfather placed in the mourning hall, and I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
My grandfather's name is Han Gengyan. He was born and raised in Fengtian in 1904. He experienced the Beiyang Warlords, ten years of civil war, the Anti-Japanese War and many other events in his life.
Han Gengyan was born in a scholarly family. His father was a very famous local scholar at the time, so his father always taught Han Gengyan to be well-versed in poetry and poetry so that he could honor his ancestors. However, Han Gengyan was not interested in poetry and poetry.
He knew nothing and had no interest. On the contrary, contrary to his father's expectations, he made mischief all day long and beat all the local children of his own age. He was regarded as the famous child king in the local generation.
In 1920, with the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor. After Yuan Shikai's death, the Beiyang warlords became chaotic and each occupied his own side. Han Gengyan was not a peaceful leader at first, so he joined the warlords. It happened that he was the one who was attacked at that time.
The Feng clan warlord who vigorously supported the warlords was doomed to his father's death. The old father who didn't like marching and fighting and preferred poetry and singing could not swallow his breath when he saw his son joining the warlords. He died with sadness.
.
Han Gengyan was also well-known in the small detachment under the Fengtian warlord at that time. Many of the young men who joined the Fengtian warlord were Fengtian, and most of these young men were bullied by Han Gengyan. Han Gengyan was also the same when he first joined the Fengtian warlord.
It was amazing. The officer who was in charge of the small detachment at that time also welcomed the local bully very warmly when he heard that the local bully had joined. You must know that a militant is much better than a soft straw bag.
As wars broke out in various places, although the Feng clan warlords at that time had Japanese support behind them, some detachments were unable to receive military pay, so the Chinese had to eat some of their money and "rob tombs". The word "grave robbing" was very important to the scenery at that time.
For the temporary warlords, it became a matter of "borrowing" to control the dead. Although it sounded a little strange, it solved the urgent need at the time.
The army that Han Gengyan was in at that time happened to be one of the troops that received orders to go to an unknown mountain to "borrow money."
Late at night, at the foot of the unknown mountain!!
"Brother Zhang, where are we going to dig a grave?" Han Gengyan scratched his head and asked the young man in front of him.
The young man in front of Han Gengyan can be said to be a very capable soldier in everyone's impression. His face is sharp and angular, exuding a sense of perseverance and domineering. This man was Zhang Chen, the captain of Han Gengyan's army at the time.
Zhang Chen took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and blew out a smoke ring, "I heard from the people nearby that there should be a tomb on this mountain."
Listening to Zhang Chen's words, Han Gengyan rolled his eyes. He himself was very taboo about taking things from the dead. But this time, because of the military pay issue, his superiors ordered them to search for ancient tombs in their respective jurisdictions.
Some ancient tombs were dug out and used as banknotes. Military pay was an order that could not be resisted, which gave Han Gengyan a headache.
"I'm telling you, Brother Zhang, these are just rumors among the people in the neighborhood, so they're not trustworthy, right? I think we'd better get some money from other places." Han Geng said with a stern smile, if it had been someone else.
If so, I really wouldn’t dare to talk to Zhang Chen like that, but Han Gengyan grew up with Zhang Chen in the same place. When he was a child, Zhang Chen especially liked Han Gengyan, his troublemaking younger brother.
"Xiao Han, you don't have to worry about this. I have already asked Xiao Hu to survey the terrain. Xiao Hu, you also know that he and Lao Wan are the best at this. We have them in the team
Two, there is absolutely nothing to say." Zhang Chen said while smoking a cigarette, and the Xiao Hu and Lao Wan in Zhang Chen's mouth were not so chaotic in the past. It can be said that they had unique skills but could not show them, and could make a lot of money but could not.
The people who want to make money are the people who are said to be fighting against each other, and the orders given by the superiors to the armies can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of Hu Bang and Wan Guan.
Listening to Zhang Chen's words, Han Gengyan felt very unhappy in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he said not to go, it would be a violation of military regulations at a large level. At a small level, it would not give Zhang Chen any face. Leaving the organization would have a small impact.
Team psychology.
Before Han Gengyan could say anything, Zhang Chen took a long drag on the cigarette, looked at the sparks that were about to burn to the end, threw it to the ground randomly and stomped on it, "Xiao Han, in this day and age, we all march out involuntarily.
Those who are fighting want to unify our country. If there are not so many branches, how can there be those foreign traitors who come to stir things up? Brother, my intention as a soldier is to do my best to unify the country and unify all the foreign traitors.
Run away, let's see who the hell will come to stir up trouble. Brother, I know you don't want to do this business, but this is for the sake of the country. You will come after a while. Although you don't want to, this is also an order given by your superiors.
, with so many eyes watching, this violation of military regulations cannot be my decision."
Listening to Zhang Chen's hard-and-soft words, Han Gengyan also knew that he had to go down and fight this fight together, and nodded randomly.
The turbid clouds gradually covered half of the crescent moon as the wind blew, and the woods on the mountain also made a "squeaking" sound as the wind blew. The only drawback was looking at the bent branches blown by the wind.
Like thousands of people waving to you in the middle of the night.
"Captain, Lao Wan and I have studied this tomb thoroughly. I can guarantee that this tomb is very big. Shall we start now?" A thin young man ran over from a distance, wearing a military uniform.
His body was completely in disgrace to his military uniform, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was not doing anything good, and this man was none other than the little Hu mentioned earlier, Hu Bang.
Zhang Chen nodded, looked at the moon in the sky, and took a deep breath, "Xiao Hu, where is Lao Wan now?"
Hu Bang smiled, "That old boy, Lao Wan, is waiting at the entrance of the tomb. We have just dug the robbery hole, and we are waiting for you to take the brothers down." As he said this, his eyes lit up, and he
It's as if gold, silver and jewelry are already placed in front of you.
Zhang Chen smiled and patted Hu Bang on the shoulder, and then said to the forty soldiers behind him, "Brothers, there is a very big tomb on this mountain. There must be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Xiao Hu and Lao Wan have already given it to us."
After clearing the road, let's set out now to carry up all the gold, silver and jewelry from the ancient tomb. The commander will definitely give you great benefits!" After saying that, he took the lead and followed Hu Bang towards the direction of the robbery cave.
.
Listening to Zhang Chen's words, all the soldiers seemed to be on stimulants, shouting "Okay" loudly and followed Zhang Chen.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Han Gengyan sighed and followed helplessly.
It didn't take long for a group of people to arrive next to the robber's cave. There was already a person waiting next to the robber's cave. The man was short and fat, about 1.67-meter-8, and had two mustaches on his face.
, if he were not wearing a military uniform, some people would definitely mistake him for a successful businessman. Looking at his figure and not seeing his skills, who would believe him if he was said to be a reverse fighter.
When the fat man saw Zhang Chen coming, he immediately put a smile on his face, "Captain Zhang, I have dug the hole for you. When will we go in?" The fat man is the "Wan Guan" Lao Wan mentioned before.
"Let's go down now, it's already midnight, and try to come out before dawn." Zhang Chen waved his hand to signal Wang Guan and Hu Bang to take the lead in stealing the cave. After all, Wang Guan and Hu Bang are experts in this area, and Hu Bang is a factionless native.
Master, I specialize in Luoyang shoveling. The technique is top-notch. Even people like Zhang Chen who have seen the world are full of praise. This inversion fight is also divided into four factions: Faqiu, Touching gold, Moving mountains and Xiling.
, Hu Bang is a free-born master, while Wanguan is a gold-touching captain. It is said that he is the 53rd generation descendant of a family in his hometown. His ancestor worked for Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, but no one can tell whether it is true or not.
have no idea.
Immediately, Wang Guan and Hu Bang went in with the guys on their backs. Zhang Chen looked at the hole on the right side of the bottom of the pit that was about 2 meters high and smiled, then led everyone in with torches.
As soon as he entered the thief's cave, Han Gengyan felt a damp and cold breath sweeping over him, and the damp and cold breath was also mixed with a fishy smell. If he didn't have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, he wouldn't be able to smell it at all.
come out.
"Brother Zhang, do you smell a fishy smell?" Han Gengyan asked Zhang Chen in a low voice.
Zhang Chen waved his hand, "Ahem, Xiao Han, there's no fishy smell here. You must be too nervous. It's your first time doing this. It's okay. Don't worry, it just smells like lumps of earth."
Listening to Zhang Chen's words, Han Gengyan pinched himself secretly, feeling that he must be too nervous. How could there be a fishy smell down there more than two meters above the ground? He must have mistaken the smell of earth for fishy smell.
In this way, a group of fifty people walked in the robbery cave for about half an hour, and finally arrived in an open space similar to a cave. They could see by the light of the fire that they were surrounded by scattered stones.
There are only two dirt paths that are about two meters high. One is the dirt path we took when we came here, and the other leads to an unknown place.
"Little Hu Laowan, why don't you two leave?" Zhang Chen looked at Hu Bang and Wanguan who had stopped in confusion. At this time, Hu Bang and Wanguan were surprisingly quiet, and the entire cave fell into a deathly silence.
among.
Seeing that Hu Bang and Wang Guan did not answer his words, Zhang Chen was not angry, but just confused. If Zhang Chen usually asked Hu Bang and Wang Guan what he said, Hu Bang and Wang Guan would rush to answer, but at this time Hu Bang and Wang Guan were not.
Standing there as if they were stone men and paying no attention to him, this had to make Zhang Chen very confused. But at this time, Han Gengyan discovered the reason why Hu Bang and Wanguan stood there quietly like stone men.
