Feng Yu expressed doubts about Weng Xiansi's words. Most people would not come to such a small place that no one cares about. How much moisture there is in his words needs to be weighed by oneself.
It was unusually quiet in the forest in the middle of the night. Everyone listened to Weng Xiansi's narration with a look of astonishment on their faces. Except for Pan Cao, everyone had never heard of it.
"They are not soldiers. I can tell. There is a gangsterism in their eyes and actions that cannot be hidden."
Pan Cao remained silent on the side. He must know something. The purpose of letting Weng Xiansi continue talking was to let Feng Yu and the others know.
"They are bandits pretending to be soldiers? Who are so bold? Ya'er wants to let our commander-in-chief know, and he will be assigned the responsibility."
Zhang Xiuxian thought of the old chief who was ordered to suppress bandits in the southwest, and his inner emotions couldn't help but vent. After so many years, I really don't know what happened to the chief he mentioned?
"Do you remember when that happened?"
Father Awen tilted his head and couldn't think of anything. The scar on his face completely concealed all his expressions.
"It seems like it was in 2000, I can't remember clearly."
Feng Yu was only a few years old at that time in 1901, but looking back, it had been almost forty years.
Pan Cao finally spoke, "I think you are old and confused. In 1907, when you were twenty years old, you led them into the mountains in order to earn money for a wife."
Weng Xiansi smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, you remember it clearly."
Regarding what happened that time, I roughly organized the content of the conversation into a general story line.
In 1907, a group of people pretending to be soldiers entered the vicinity of Huaxian Ancient Lake. In search of high rewards, Weng Xiansi led them into the mountains and forests.
This incident happened before the foreigners took pictures, which proves that they were the first group to come to Huaxian Ancient Lake. Later, the two foreigners heard the news from somewhere and came here.
In the beginning, it was actually unremarkable. Weng Xiansi thought that after he had led the way, he would get paid, go back and marry a wife, and like everyone else, he would live a normal life.
Weng Xiansi actually didn't know much about Huaxian Ancient Lake. People in his village knew where the lake was. The lake was a dead lake and very few people would go there.
After the team set up camp by the lake, Father Aweng's mission was completed.
This group of people wanted to live by the lake for a while, and what they were doing was very mysterious. He had never seen it before. He just asked Weng Xiansi to come over and send them some salt and rice every other week.
At that age, Aweng was full of curiosity about everything. This was also the first time he learned from this group of people that the name of the lake was Huaxian Ancient Lake. Every time
Come and bring salt and rice, and your curiosity will become more intense.
One of these times, after he finished delivering the things, he hid in the dark and observed. He found that there were many boxes, about twenty or thirty, which the group of people had brought out of the lake. What was in the boxes made him even more aroused.
Father Aweng’s heart.
People's impulses are generated in an instant, and for some unreasonable things, people become crazy.
Weng Xiansi sneaked over quietly. These boxes were not big, made of wood, and had numbers on them.
Weng Xiansi was very puzzled. Are these antiques? Are they here to steal treasures?
While he was not paying attention, Weng Xiansi took out a box. It was not light in weight. It was very heavy. There seemed to be a stone inside.
Anyone would be puzzled at this time, how could such a thing be fished out of the lake? Moreover, the box had a strange smell that was hard to describe. Weng Xiansi thought it was the smell under the lake, but he hunted all year round and smelled it.
This is the stench of rotting meat.
Weng Xiansi couldn't hold back from vomiting it out. His stomach and intestines were filled with turmoil. It was the most disgusting smell he had ever smelled in his life. To describe it as rancid was an understatement.
He didn't open the box on the spot, because he knew that the contents might really kill someone, so he picked up the box and hid in a dark place, hoping to sneak away with the contents after dark.
But what they didn't expect was that the group of people counted the items every day, and it didn't take long before they discovered that something was missing. They started looking around, and they all had weapons in their hands. Weng Xiansi hid in the dark and didn't dare to move.
Holding the box in his arms, the stench made him dizzy. If he found out, his mission would definitely be ruined, and maybe the gang would kill him.
Just when Aweng was enduring the stench and thinking about it, he forgot that others could smell the stench. Soon someone came looking for him after smelling the smell. Weng Xiansi knew that he couldn't hide, so he couldn't hide.
Do it endlessly.
When he was unprepared, he knocked the man unconscious with a stick. Someone discovered him immediately, and a gunshot was heard in the woods, probably to warn the attacker not to act rashly.
Weng Xiansi was so frightened that he ran out quickly under the cover of darkness. What was strange was that the group did not pursue him to death. Instead, after chasing for a while, they all turned back, probably because they were afraid of being attacked by people.
Weng Xiansirang was so frightened that after he returned, he hid at home for a few days and was relieved when there was no movement. From then on, he knew that those people by the lake were doing some shameful things.
After that, he inquired for two more days, but found nothing. Then he felt relieved. When the day came to deliver salt and rice to the lake again, Weng Xiansi became more and more curious. He must find out what this group of people was doing.
What.
He was as usual,
Taking salt and rice to the lakeside camp, he was always curious about what they were doing with so much salt and rice. This was far beyond human consumption. What was certain was that it was definitely not for eating.
of.
Father Aweng is a shrewd person. If they really have a treasure here, how can they let outsiders take it away?
As before, Weng Xiansi pretended to be nonchalant. After putting down his things, he prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, he had already fallen into a trap. Not far from the camp, he fell into the trap set by the gang.
People want to eradicate the root cause. They know that Weng Xiansi is the person who stole the wooden box.
Fortunately, because of his superior skills, he drugged their water as soon as they entered the camp. Although he was tied up, within half an hour, the group fell down.
Weng Xiansi, who broke free, was driven by curiosity and opened the box. What was inside shocked him. It was a highly decomposed human head-like object with large holes in some places, revealing the black inside.
The thing seems to be some kind of wood.
Weng Xiansi was dumbfounded. He endured the stench and found a branch. After stirring it, the black wood seemed to be alive! There were also bursts of heartbeats inside.
Weng Xiansi was so frightened that he couldn't speak. The group had salvaged more than thirty boxes like this. They were all exactly the same in appearance. There were no decorations on the square boxes, and each one smelled worse than the last.
At this moment, the potion he gave had passed, and someone woke up. From the conversation, he learned two pieces of news. The person he knocked unconscious that time was killed because of his heavy blow. Their group
They are all desperadoes who fight against each other all the time. The really valuable things are still under the lake.
After hearing this, Weng Xiansi was fascinated. He knew that once his affair was exposed, he would not be able to escape the crime of murder, and it seemed that this group of people would not let him go. For a moment, his forehead felt hot, and he picked up the matter.
He brutally killed them. There were five corpses in total, and he killed them all and threw them into the lake.
He leveled the camp again, then pretended nothing had happened and fled.
About three months later, someone came looking for him. Among the people who came was Pan Cao. At first, Pan Cao and the others did not discover the heresy. Maybe it was because they had a guilty conscience, and Weng Xiansi did not invite the thief.
He was afraid that people would find out what happened, so he disappeared without a trace. When Pan Cao and the others came to look for Weng Xiansi, he was gone.
After that, he went to the other side of the lake, to a foreign country, and made a living by hunting around the lake. Firstly, he could avoid investigation, and secondly, he could always keep an eye on the treasure under the lake.
Weng Xiansi's experience is incredible. In other words, he is still carrying six lives. This kind of desperado is more bloody than a tomb robber.
