In the empty cave, a jar of local wine that had been aged for more than half a century was carefully carried out. Everyone's eyes and even the lens of the camera were focused on the waterproof bag made of a rubber raft next to it.
This waterproof bag, with its two ends tied tightly by ropes, is still bulging and playing its original role, tightly protecting the memories that Tan Shouzheng, Zhou Guochang, and Monk Sehao put in after the war.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to open it?" Qin II respectfully asked Zhou Qiguang, who was standing in front of the Buddha statue.
"What are you going to do with these things?" Zhou Qiguang looked at Qin Er and asked.
"museum"
Qin II replied without thinking, "These people should be remembered by more people, and these relics and memories should not belong to anyone's private collection."
"Where are the soldiers of the expeditionary force outside?"
"National Memorial Cemetery"
Qin Er's answer was still straightforward, "Although this junior is used to being a fool, I still have a warm heart.
I brought my friends all the way here this time. Although I have selfish motives, I just want the elders in my family to take a good look at me.
To be honest, it is far beyond my expectation to find so many wanderers trapped here at once, but even if I have to walk through Savage Mountain all over again, I will send them safely into the country."
"Youzi. Youzi is a good word."
Zhou Qiguang raised his head and glanced at the unfinished Buddha statue, "I've left it all to you. Take them away, and take away those things too."
Having said this, Zhou Qiguang paused, "I only have one request."
"Please tell me," Qin Er said respectfully, and the photographer also turned off the machine in his hand.
Zhou Qiguang pointed to the entrance of the cave behind him, "After they are buried, pour them each a glass of wine, using that jar of wine."
"No problem" Qin Er agreed happily.
Hearing this, Zhou Qiguang nodded gently. Upon seeing this, Qin II raised his head and looked at Xia Shushi and Wei Ran.
"Come on." As Wei Ran spoke, he took out a pair of rubber gloves from his pocket and handed them to Xia Shushi.
"OK"
Xia Shushi took the gloves and put them on. Qin II also winked at the photographer, who then left and turned on the machine again.
Under the gaze of many eyes, Xia Shushi carefully unscrewed the rusty iron wire.
As the layers of rubber bladders are carefully peeled off, the contents stored inside are gradually revealed to the lens.
In addition to Squad Leader Liang's box cannon, a German kettle with an account book, and a Browning pistol in a wooden gun case, there were only two pairs of British lunch boxes buckled together in the bag.
Gently opening the lunch box, Xia Shushi and Qin Er looked at each other. It was full of film seals one after another!
Wisely, he did not unscrew the sealed tubes. Xia Shushi took the waterproof bag from Weiran, sealed the sealed tubes that obviously contained film one by one, and then put them all into a large waterproof bag.
"If we want to develop these films, we have to find a professional."
Xia Shushi said while he was busy, "It's hard to find a place where you can develop photos these days, especially in a ghost place like Free Power."
"I can help you develop the photos."
Wei Ran took the initiative and said, "I have professional equipment there, but it's just a little far away. But if you just develop the negatives, there's a darkroom, and you just need to buy some potions. This is very simple. When the time comes, there's a scanner, and you can do it."
Scan out the contents of the negatives."
"Can you wash?" Qin Er raised his head and asked.
"If you have time, you can visit my library in Kazan. I have developed all the old photos in it." Wei Ran extended the invitation in a casual tone.
Seeing Zhou Qiguang nodding, Qin Er directly handed the bag of film seals he had just received to Wei Ran, "I'll trouble you then."
"You can trust me," Wei Ran said subconsciously as he took the sealed bag.
"We are all friends, what can we believe or not?" Qin Er replied matter-of-factly.
"Mr. Wei's achievements are obvious to all," Zhou Qiguang said helpfully, "I also believe that Mr. Wei will not destroy these films."
"Mr. Zhou, have you heard of my friend?" Qin Er asked in unison.
"Of course I have heard of it." Zhou Qiguang paused, "One of my business partners even cooperated with Mr. Wei."
"Your business partner?" Wei Ran thought for a moment, "Is it Mr. Charlotte?"
"Charlotte?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Zhou Qiguang's face, and then he shook his head slightly and explained, "It's Mr. Edward. He seemed to have been looking for something in the desert. I heard him say it at an auction some time ago,
A Chinese helped him find what he had been looking for."
Is it him? Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, and then sighed, "This world is really small."
“The world is not too small”
Zhou Qiguang glanced at the account book that Xia Shushi took out from the opened German lunch box, withdrew his gaze and said with a hint of ridicule, "The UK is too small, and the British circle is also very small, and those pretentious old gentlemen are also
She is as garrulous as the middle-aged widow in the village, and everything will be spread to everyone in a very short time."
"This description is really appropriate." Qin Er grinned and brought the topic back, "Brother Wei Ran, how long will it take to develop these films?"
"It looks like there should be no problem with the preservation, but if there are so many"
Wei Ran thought for a while and replied, "As long as there is a darkroom and potions, and a scanner, it can be developed in one day at the earliest."
"Mr. Zhou"
Qin Er looked at Zhou Qiguang, "Can you help arrange it? Maybe those photos captured the soldiers of the expeditionary force buried here, so that even if they don't have names, at least they can be remembered by future generations.
What does it look like?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qiguang thought for a moment and then said, "Wei Ran, come back to Mo's village with me later. I'll have the helicopter take you to Mandalay. Maybe you can find what you need there."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sorry to trouble you," Wei Ran said gratefully.
"We all have the same goal, so there is no need to say these polite words."
Zhou Qiguang waved his hand and turned to look at the only grave in the cave. "Now the only grave left is the grave of squad leader Liang Yimin. Let's do it together."
After saying that, Zhou Qiguang rolled up his sleeves and took off his cotton gloves. He walked to the small tomb, bowed respectfully, and reached out to remove the top stone.
Seeing this, Wei Ran was the second to walk over. Qin Er and Xia Shushi looked at each other and quickened their movements, wrapping up the things they had just taken out of the waterproof bag one by one and handing them over to Brother Yang and others.
, and then came over to help.
Under the busy work of these four people, as stones were moved away piece by piece, a rather badly decayed coffin was gradually revealed.
Carefully opening the almost rotten coffin lid, there was only an urn inside.
"Let me do it"
Zhou Qiguang bent down without hesitation, put his upper body into the broken coffin, and carefully took out the urn of Squad Leader Liang.
"Let's go"
While Qin Er was speaking, he took the black umbrella from Brother Yang and walked ahead, helping Zhou Qiguang block the not too much sunlight above his head.
After taking Squad Leader Liang's ashes to the pool for cleaning and placing his and Qin Shouzheng's ashes together, Zhou Qiguang asked, "Secretary, how do you plan to take them back?"
"First transport them out of the jungle together," Qin II said without thinking, "and then transport them together to Mandalay and charter a flight back."
Speaking of this, Qin Er looked at Zhou Qiguang and asked politely, "Mr. Zhou, if possible, I would like to take that monument away with me. After they are reburied, I would like to put the monument next to them."
beside."
"I have no opinion"
Zhou Qiguang nodded, "At noon tomorrow, when the light is the best, let the helicopter try. If the helicopter can't lift it, I will arrange for someone to lift it out."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Qiguang hesitated for a moment and then said, "In addition, I plan to follow my will and bury Master Sehao in this cave."
"What do the descendants of his distant nephew think?" Xia Shushi asked.
"them?"
Zhou Qiguang shook his head, "They don't remember such an elder at all, but after the tomb is moved, I plan to bring Master Sehao's daughter to pay homage, which can give him peace of mind."
"What do we need to do?" Qin Er asked.
Zhou Qiguang glanced at Wei Ran, who was silent on the side, withdrew his gaze and replied, "I don't want the camera to capture this, let alone let too many people know about it."
"clear"
Qin Er nodded happily, "Give us one day to send them and those relics out, and then our people will evacuate directly."
"I'm afraid this journey will not be easy," Zhou Qiguang reminded with a frown, "especially with such a large quantity, the local officials will definitely make things difficult for you."
"We have been prepared for this kind of thing"
Xia Shushi took over the conversation, "These power-free people hope that everyone will forget about that expeditionary force, but the more this happens, the more we must do this matter beautifully."
"I know some people in Free Power, and I can barely talk to them." Zhou Qiguang said straightforwardly, "I will do my best to help you pave the way."
Qin Er glanced at the bodyguard Brother Yang who came from a distance, with a confident smile on his face, but he said extremely politely, "With your words, I will be at ease. If we have a solution by then,
I won’t be polite to you if I can’t bear the trouble.”
"should"
Zhou Qiguang glanced at the bodyguard Brother Yang who was waiting nearby, and walked towards the path leading to the helicopter landing platform on the top of the mountain.
It’s time to move Master Sehao’s grave. Wei Ran, please go back with me, and I’ll arrange a helicopter to take you to Mandalay.”
"Then let's go"
Wei Ran followed Zhou Qiguang to bid farewell to Qin II and Xia Shushi, then walked up to the landing platform on the top of the mountain, took the helicopter waiting here, flew out of the jungle in a circle, and finally landed in the air outside Mo's village.
