Feng Yu arrived at the city defense camp early in the morning. The place was stationed a few miles outside the capital. Don't say, did Lu Guangcheng kiss his nephew and get a military position? Or was he a well-equipped team? It was just Italian cannons.
There are four doors.
Zhang Xiuxian is a person who never pays attention to rules. He was like that before, and he is still like that now. He guarded a regiment leader and became his own local emperor.
When Feng Yu arrived, no one was up yet. When the people below informed Zhang Xiuxian, the first two women who came out of the room were two women with great looks and figures. It was obvious how nourishing this kid Zhang Xiuxian's life was.
"Oh, I've been waiting for you, my young master Feng."
Zhang Xiuxian had two tufts of moustache and wore a Nizi Army coat. When he came out, the adjutant behind him handed him his pants and shoes, making him feel like a local commander.
Feng Yu smiled, counting the days, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, but Zhang Xiuxian's life was extremely nourishing.
"Commander Zhang, are you okay?"
Zhang Xiuxian laughed, "Quick, come in and sit down, I'm waiting for you to come."
After entering the house, the adjutant looked at the pot of tea. Zhang Xiuxian took off his shoes and said, "How is it? My place is not bad. If you need anything in the future, just say hello and everything will be done."
Feng Yu could imagine the scene when Zhang Xiuxian led a group to do something. He was not afraid of the crowd, but the momentum.
Zhang Xiuxian's team is an independent regiment under the National Army. Because of Lu Guangcheng's relationship, this team is only responsible for assisting defense outside the capital. On weekdays, it is just training troops, with nothing much to do.
But what Zhang Xiuxian was thinking about was another matter. The place that Bai Ran and Pan Cao talked about, they had no contact with each other after that meeting. Although Zhang Xiuxian knew that Feng Yu would not go alone, it was a little bit long to wait.
Can't sit still.
He followed Feng Yu all over the world over the years, and gained a lot of knowledge while catching a lot of treasures. Back then, his uncle Lu Guangcheng had a keen eye for people and told him to follow Feng Yu. This was indeed the right path.
Lu Guangcheng had someone tell Zhang Xiuxian's fate a long time ago. He must have someone to rely on in order to become rich and powerful, and the Feng family relies on him.
Feng Yu asked Zhang Xiuxian: "What? It's just different when you become the leader."
"You girl, don't laugh at me. I'm trying to catch a duck. I thought I was happy before, but now I'm in a position to ensure everyone's safety. I feel uncomfortable."
Feng Yu teased Zhang Xiuxian, "Is it because of the women outside that make you uncomfortable?"
"Hahaha, women are not women, don't talk nonsense. I was teaching them self-defense skills. You have seen it over the years. The Japanese are very ambitious. If they don't learn some self-protection skills, it may be difficult to survive. Don't say that.
They, even my uncle, are fawning over the Japanese. In order to find a way out, life is not easy for anyone."
Zhang Xiuxian is right, living is easier said than done.
"Uncle Lu hooked up with the Japanese? I heard that they turned against the Japanese and refused to recognize them. You have to tell your uncle to be careful."
"Don't worry, he is very cunning. He is the only one who can scheme against others, and others cannot scheme against him. Hey, let me ask, is there any news from Bai Ran's end?"
"It seems that we brothers have to go there again. The place Pan Cao mentioned is not a good place."
"My two brothers have never been to any place. When Zhang Manyue was here, we were an iron triangle, and we had no shortage of detectives in the Tomb of the Fox Immortal and the Immortal King's Palace. Now that she has left first, we have to put our spirit to the test.
Stay."
Feng Yu nodded silently, "It's okay not to mention the old things. Just pack up and we'll leave tomorrow."
"You are quite anxious, boy. Where is our destination?"
"Yunnan, Huaxian Ancient Lake."
…
Zhang Xiuxian arranged the affairs overnight. His position as the leader was a sinecure, selling dog meat with a sheep's head.
Bai Ran walked with them for about a month and arrived in Lincang, Yunnan. He stayed in Lincang for another two days before continuing his journey.
The location of Huaxian Ancient Lake is very remote, located at the junction of China and Myanmar. If Bai Ran hadn't verified a lot of information, this place would have been difficult to find.
Many years ago, the Burmese people fought a battle with the Qing Dynasty army near here, and all the families in the surrounding ten miles disappeared. At that time, it was not a big deal, and it was rarely mentioned in county annals and newspapers.
It is rare for Bairan to find these.
But Pan Cao came one step ahead of them, and by the time Feng Yu and the others arrived at the border, many days had passed.
Pan Cao lived in a village and had been exploring the edge of Huaxian Ancient Lake in recent days. He knew that the place was extraordinary and would not be entered casually.
This village is called Reservoir Village, and it should be the closest village to the ancient lake. The villages even closer were all washed into the bottom of the lake during the floods a few years ago.
Many relatives in the Reservoir Village disappeared during the flood. When I asked someone about it, I could still remember the situation vividly, and there were eyewitnesses who told it personally.
Due to the special geographical location, most people in Reservoir Village make a living by selling noodles. This noodle is a special white noodle. The Burmese people grow opium poppy in large quantities. After refining and transporting it from the border, they get a high price, which makes many people engage in transportation business.
The government's unlimited concern for these activities has allowed some bandits to take advantage of the loopholes, and they are the biggest beneficiaries.
When they arrived at Reservoir Village, the place was larger than they thought. They thought it was a deserted village, but they didn't expect that there were hundreds of people in this place.
Pan Cao found someone to bribe and arrange everything. Here, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do.
They lived in a family named Wangding. The house was a kind of rainforest house, a bit like the house Xieling lived in in western Hunan, to avoid the underground moisture.
The lower part is elevated, and you have to climb stairs to get in and out.
Wang Ding is a short and thin man with tanned skin and looks relatively honest. He does not do the fortune-telling business and makes a living by collecting herbs. He collected the money from Cao Cao and welcomed the three of them into the house.
, Pan Cao went to the woods early.
Wang Ding poured a pot of local herbal tea for Feng Yu and the others, saying that they had worked hard all the way. At noon, his wife picked incense and cooked a delicious meal for everyone. They would wait for Mr. Cao to come back and start the meal together.
While idle, Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian asked Wang Ding about some local things.
Feng Yu first asked: "Then the ancient lake flooded a few years ago?"
Wang Ding's honest face did not hide anything. He replied: "Yes, three years ago, the lake rose once. The water level suddenly rose by dozens of meters, submerging many things around it. The lake water came fiercely.
, rushed up at night, and several people in the village were taken away by him."
The accent in the words was quite serious, and the flat and retroflex sounds were indistinguishable at all. Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian were struggling to listen.
Bairan then asked: "Wangding, let me ask you, are there monsters in the lake?"
"Oh, boss, it's not easy to talk nonsense. That person in the lake is the lake god. Don't dare to talk about monsters. You will be punished."
"Hey, let me tell you, you can't even tell the difference between the lake god and the monster, so where's the retribution coming from?"
Wang Ding lowered his voice and said, "That's not true. It's really the lake god. On the day of the flood, people in their village dug up a strange zombie in the lake. It was said that it was alive at the time. People believed the slander.
The zombie was beaten to death with sticks. That night, water filled the ancient lake and drowned everyone around him, taking away many lives silently."
The words sounded very mysterious. A zombie was killed from the lake, and everyone died at night. How dare you believe that the background of this zombie is so big? So many people have to be buried together.
"I said, Wang Ding, are you sure you're not just talking nonsense?"
Wang Ding nodded seriously, "I definitely didn't deceive the bosses. This incident even alarmed people in the provincial capital. They went to the ancient lake to take photos for a long time."
Wang Ding didn't seem to be joking. He turned around and went to the cabinet and pulled out the photo he mentioned.
The photo was very blurry, almost dark yellow, and I could barely make out the main content. It was the entrance to the village after the water receded. There was a lot of mud on the stone tablet, and a few words were vaguely engraved on it.
Another photo shows some dead bodies that were drowned in water. It seems that they have gone through an extraordinary process.
In the last photo, there is a man with his back to the photographer, and he seems to be holding something in his hand. There are blurry trees all around, and the photo is very distorted.
This was really shocking, and Feng Yu immediately asked Wang Ding.
"Where did this photo come from? How do you have these things?"
