C32 (1/2)
The next morning, the third day after I arrived at Wild Mountain, I walked out of the tent into the fresh air. It made me feel relaxed and refreshed, a feeling that I would never feel again in the bustling city, a feeling that would cause people's spirits to rise in an instant!
When he came yesterday, the sky was almost dark, so he did not see Sakyamuni Army's camp very clearly. But today, he discovered that there was indeed a unique place in the legends of the undefeated Sakyamuni Army back then!
This camp was built at a depression in the mountain valley. On the left was a continuous forest, which was surrounded by a barbed-wire fence. There were also earthen walls built around it to prevent wild beasts from charging in.
On the right was the air vent of the cove, and it was also the highest point where sentries were set up. Standing on top of it, one could see through the surrounding environment, and if there was an enemy sneak attack, they would be able to see through it immediately.
Both sides had made high platforms for mortars, but they had rusted and become a pile of scrap iron. The camp was then known as an iron barrel, and it was not easy to take over.
The Fourth Uncle had already woken up and was discussing something with the Monks. The other people were busy cooking in their pots, Hai Yang had already become a part of the crowd, and was boasting about his glorious history of digging gold in Xinjiang, only Zhu Yingqiong was sitting alone at the entrance of the tent, her expression cold and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Looking at her lonely figure, I suddenly feel that she is rather pitiful. A woman is actually suffering together with us men in the mountains, and most importantly, her status is rather awkward, causing everyone to keep their distance from her.
I remembered that the monk told me last night that there was something very important in Zhu Yingqiong's hands. I wanted to ask what it was, but it was obviously impossible for her to tell me.
Zhu Yingqiong looked at me, then took the rice porridge and drank it all in one gulp.
I looked at the sky and felt that it was indeed very gloomy, but Zhu Yingqiong didn't seem to be in a good mood, so I couldn't find a topic to discuss. I could only awkwardly sit at the side, but Zhu Yingqiong also didn't speak to me, Hai Yang passed by us smoking and teasing, ”Yo, Crown Prince, where's the f * ck are you?”
I glared at the ocean to signal him not to speak nonsense, but Zhu Yingqiong didn't react at all, she still remained sitting there coldly. I felt that this woman had too many things on her mind, under her beautiful appearance, her heart was filled with too many things.
The Fourth Uncle cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, ”There's not much time left. The brothers who were injured yesterday will rest at the camp, leaving the three brothers to take care of them, the others will immediately set off. With the camp as their starting point, we'll explore along the forest behind us.
The Wild Mountain is so huge, who knows where it used to be. We don't have that much time to waste, do you have any clues? ”
I believe that the Walled City of the White Kingdom should not be too far from the camp. Back then, Japanese brought a lot of heavy weapons with him, and even after dozens of years had passed, there will definitely still be traces left behind in the forest. We will set off with this clue.
This is actually a very primitive method of exploration. There is no clear goal and no direction, we can only find the thing left behind by Sakyamuni Army or the drilling team in 1976 to determine the direction. It is a very arduous task, but we have no other choice, we can only do this.
On the first day, we took the camp as our starting point and searched the forest five kilometers ahead of us, but we didn't find anything!
The next day, we went back to the place where we had stopped the previous day to search. We went back to the forest and found nothing.
On the third day, which was also the sixth day since I had arrived at the Wild Mountain, Zhu Yingqiong found quite a few abandoned mortars in a forest, as well as many iron plates and shell shells hidden in the soil.
As expected, we found a lot of corpses in the soil. The Fourth Uncle was extremely excited and determined the way forward. We organized our equipment and set off!
The ones who left were me, Hai Yang, Zhu Yingqiong, Fourth Uncle, Monk and three shop assistants, the rest were the ones who stayed behind to take care of the injuries.
Along the way, we covered the sky with big trees, and every area that we could see was waisted in the air. The beautiful scenery was obviously unique to one side, but in reality, everyone had a layer of shadow in their hearts. They didn't know why, but the closer they got to the White Kingdom, the more nervous they felt!
Moreover, there are a lot of poisonous bugs in the jungle, and we are all extremely careful when we walk, so we walk very slowly. Also, there are a lot of poisonous insects and insects in the jungle, and we are all extremely careful when we walk, so we walk very slowly.
After walking for an entire morning, it began to rain again, causing the road to become more and more muddy and it was difficult to walk. Everyone kept walking with their heads down, and there was no atmosphere for them to talk, only the sea would occasionally spasm and curse at the heavens for raining. In the afternoon, the shop assistant at the front suddenly shouted, ”Fourth Master, there's someone ahead!”
