Chapter 490 Devil Mountain (1)

A chaotic Myanmar is undoubtedly more in line with the interests of some countries and regions. Whether it is the Myanmar military and political axes or the resister Shan State Alliance, there are shadows of certain interest groups behind them. Otherwise, the simple Shan ethnic group is no matter what.

It cannot last for so many years.

Deqinba Dingding is just the most ordinary farmer in Shan State. Due to the remote geographical location of the mountain village, he has not been disturbed by the war. But even so, when Beigong Zhishu found the leaders of Shan State and sent a batch of urgently needed supplies

After that, the summit of Deqinba became the link between Shan State and the Japanese to maintain friendly relations.

Kitamiya Yanjun looked at the time and said, "Naoki, go there early, it's getting late now!"

To be honest, Beigong Yanjun is not optimistic that the head of the family will be able to find gold this time. That happened more than half a century ago, and there were people in China who escaped at that time. Maybe the gold had already been taken away.

.

Moreover, Beigong Yanjun still didn't understand something. The total amount of that batch of gold was only twenty tons. According to the price of one gram of gold in 1998, which was equal to about 20 US dollars, 20 tons of gold was only worth 340 million US dollars.

But in order to search for this batch of gold, over the decades, the manpower and material resources invested by the Beigong family, coupled with the five-star hotel built in Myanmar, are probably almost the same as this number. This is also considered by many Beigong families.

The main reason for the dissatisfaction of the palace family members.

With Deqinba on the summit, Beigong Yanjun and others returned to the presidential suite on the 18th floor. Beigong Yingxiong, who was sitting on the tatami and meditating, opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Deqinba on the summit.

, said: "Naoki, let him tell what happened. I can understand Burmese!"

"Hai!"

Kitamong Naoki's face did not show any abnormality because of the conversation just now. After agreeing, he gently patted Deqinba Dingding's shoulder and said: "Tell the head of the family everything you know, and we will

I can send you back!"

The old-eyed Dechenba climbed to the top and did not see that when Kitamiya Naoki said these words, several people in the room showed a sarcastic smile on their faces at the same time, and said happily: "Okay, I will definitely tell everyone."

You guys, but it’s been too long, and I can’t recall some things.”

"It doesn't matter, you think about it slowly." Beigong Yingxiong waved his hand and did not urge Deqinba to climb to the top.

"That happened in 1950. I was only eighteen years old at the time. My family was very poor and I could only go up the mountain to pick wild fruits to eat..." There was a look of nostalgia in Deqinba's eyes as he climbed to the top, and something was about to happen.

Stories from nearly half a century ago were recalled.

Since Myanmar became one of the main battlefields for the Chinese, American and British coalition forces to attack Japanese forces in Southeast Asia during World War II, the war damage they suffered was much higher than that of neighboring countries such as Laos and Thailand.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a disaster.

Although the war in 1950 had ended five years ago, Myanmar, a country with dense mountains and dense forests and poor roads, had not achieved any economic development. Instead, it had become even poorer because domestic supplies were plundered by the Japanese during the war.

At that time, Deqinba Dingding lived in the Shan State mountainous area at the border of Myanmar, Laos and China. This place was not affected by the war, but people's lives were also very difficult. If it were not for the mountains at their back, they would not be able to live at all.

But even so, Deqinba, who lacked salt, was extremely thin when he reached the summit. The 18-year-old looked like he was only 12 or 13 years old. The whole family relied on picking some medicinal materials from the mountains and forests to sell.

, in exchange for some daily necessities.

When Dechenba climbed to the top, he clearly remembered that the arrival of a team of more than 20 people made their small village of only more than 100 people excited, because these Chinese people actually brought a lot of salt and other supplies they were most lacking.

.

The conditions for those people to return it were a bit strange. They needed to borrow more than 40 mules and horses in the village, and they only needed to use it for one day, and they could return it the next day.

Shan State and China's Yun/Nan bordered. At that time, the border was not very clearly demarcated. People from the two countries could move around at will, and trade exchanges were frequent. In addition, the residents of both places were very simple, and the word "annihilation of business" was not yet in their minds.

So the deal was concluded smoothly, and in the evening of the next day, the Chinese did return the mules and horses as promised, but three mules and horses were thrown to death in the mountains, and they paid some additional money as compensation.

.

Logically speaking, this was just an ordinary transaction and there was nothing unusual about it. However, as Deqinba, who was driving mules and horses for the Chinese at that time, what he saw was not that simple.

After sending the mules and horses to the place designated by the Chinese, Deqinba climbed to the top out of curiosity. He did not go far at that time, but climbed to another mountaintop to observe the actions of the Chinese from there.

He discovered that the Chinese had hung dozens of wooden boxes on their mules and horses and entered a forbidden area in their mountainous area, which was known as Devil's Mountain to the locals.

In the hearts of Burmese people, there are two places that are absolutely forbidden to set foot in. One is the "Savage Mountain" located in Myitkyina in northern Myanmar. It is a place with huge mountains and dense forests, and miasma is rampant. It is said that there were once infested by savages, so the area of ​​​​100 kilometers in radius is

All places have become no man's land.

During the Anti-Japanese War, of the 15,000 Chinese Fifth Army who crossed Savage Mountain and arrived in India, only three to four thousand remained, not even a fraction. And among the total 100,000 troops of the entire Chinese Expeditionary Force who entered Burma to participate in the war, only three to four thousand remained.

At that time, more than 10,000 Chinese people died in the battle, but 50,000 people died in Savage Mountain.

As a result, Savage Mountain shocked the whole world. After the war, although scholars from various countries entered it to investigate, they all returned without success due to the harsh geographical environment.

Another forbidden area in Myanmar is Devil's Mountain in Shan State. There are also overlapping mountains, vast forests, endless swamps in the woods, large valleys, dense forests, rampant wolves and ferocious beasts, and the spread of miasma and malaria. But deep in the Shan

The hinterland of the country is not known to the world.

And that's not all that's scary about Devil's Mountain. There are many caves in the mountain, and the openings of many caves are like canyons. You don't feel it when you go in, but when you go deep inside, you suddenly realize that you are already inside.

In the cave.

These caves are criss-crossed like a maze, and there are also a large number of anacondas that like shade living in them. The eyes of these anacondas have almost completely degenerated and blinded, but their sense of smell and hearing are extremely sensitive. Once there is any movement, they will be extremely sensitive.

It may lead to a swarm of anacondas.

Therefore, once a person walks in, it is basically difficult to survive. For those locals in Shan State, they may be able to come out alive after entering Devil's Mountain, but if they accidentally enter these caves, there is only a dead end.

Shan people who were born near Devil's Mountain have been warned by their elders since childhood not to enter the mountain. They never dared to set foot in the mountain until they were eighteen years old when they reached the top of Dechenba.

So when he saw the Chinese driving mules and horses into the mountains, his first reaction was that there would no longer be any livestock for farming in the village, because in his impression, no one or any livestock had ever entered the devil.

The mountain can still come out alive.

Out of curiosity, Deqinba stayed at a place where he could see the entrance to Devil's Mountain when he climbed to the top. One day later, something shocking happened to him. The Chinese actually drove their mules and horses out of the mountain again.

The careful Deqinba climbed to the top and found that originally there were fifty-six mules and horses and twenty-eight people going in, but when they came out, only fifty mules and horses and twenty-five people were left. In other words, they

The losses on this trip were only six mules and three people.

After the Chinese returned the mules and horses and compensated for their losses and left, the young man who climbed to the top of Deqinba was suddenly startled. What did the Chinese do in Devil's Mountain? Why did they come out safely? These mysteries have always puzzled him.

Two years later, the Burmese civil war broke out, and the small mountain villages that were already struggling to make a living were also affected. Many supplies that needed to be obtained from the outside world were no longer available. Many young people in the villages left the mountains and joined the anti-government forces.

in the struggle.

But Deqinba did not leave when he reached the summit. He told the three friends who had grown up together the secret he had hidden in his heart for two years.

Based on what Deqinba observed on the summit, they quickly came to the conclusion that there must be a huge amount of wealth hidden in the wooden boxes brought by the Chinese, and that wealth was currently hidden in Devil's Mountain.

.

As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts. If they can get that wealth, they can leave poor Myanmar and live in other countries. Under this huge temptation, Deqinba Dengding and others finally decided to enter Devil Mountain

!

This decision made Deqinba unforgettable for the rest of his life. Even in the next forty years, he was always in a very abnormal state of mind, until he met Kitamiya Naoki.

After some medical treatment, Deqinba reached the summit and gradually recalled the past events that had been buried in the dust for more than half a century.

When he said this, Deqinba Dengding's cloudy eyes showed a look of fear again, and his mouth suddenly closed tightly, waving his hands in the air randomly, and shouted: "Leave me, devil, hurry up

leave me!"

"Baga? What's going on?" At this juncture, Deqinba Dengding suddenly became silent. The hero of Beigong was furious, stood up, and wanted to stretch out his hands and pinch Deqinba Dingding's neck.

You know, this is the most valuable piece of news Beigong Hero has heard in the past fifty years of searching for that gold.
