Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 4 Departure
I don't think I can sit still like this anymore, I don't want to be haunted by such an inexplicable dream all the time!

Although the prototype of the dream scene is likely to be derived from Uncle Le's description, many details are not mentioned by him, so the matter may not be that simple.Perhaps only by going to the place mentioned by Uncle Le to find out in person can I completely unlock the secrets.

In addition, I also thought of A Fei.If Uncle Le is not lying, the tomb in Zhaoyue Village is probably from the Warring States period. If you take A Fei with you on this trip, as long as you can find a few good ones, wouldn't A Fei's mother's surgery money be settled together?

Thinking of this, I called A Fei. I thought A Fei would have a lot of worries after hearing this, but I didn't expect him to respond readily.I sighed secretly in my heart, it seemed that he really had nowhere to go.

Ah Fei said to give him two days, when his eldest sister came to BJ to take over to take care of his mother, he would take the high-speed rail back to Zhoucun, and agreed to keep in touch with WeChat. I also took advantage of this time to make preparations before departure.

According to the plots of those novels on tomb robbery, you usually need to prepare a lot of various tools when going to the tomb. After reading a few novels, the list is full of A4 paper, such as bright flashlights, engineering shovels, military daggers, Luoyang Shovels, safety ropes...everything I thought would be useful, I wrote it down.

As long as it is not too outrageous, such as guns and explosives, other things are relatively easy to get.

But how to bring these things to Linzi has become another problem.

The most convenient way to travel from the local area to Linzi is by high-speed rail or plane. These tools may not pass the security check.

In the end, I came up with a compromise method, such as compressed biscuits and ropes, which I will take over here. Those things that are definitely not going to pass the security check will be purchased online and sent to A Fei, and then A Fei will take them to Linzi.After all, it would not take long for him to take a bus from Zhoucun to Linzi, and the bus would not have such cumbersome matters as security checks.

After the general arrangements were made, both of us entered the detailed preparation stage.In order to pack lightly, I filled in A Fei's address in almost all the big-ticket items. I couldn't help but feel a little funny when I thought about how he was carrying big bags and small bags when we met.

In addition to the preparation of materials, I also roughly planned our next itinerary.However, when searching for the location of Zhaoyue Village mentioned by Uncle Le, there is no Zhaoyue Village in Linzi on the Gaode map.

I once suspected that I had been tricked by Mr. Le again, but in the end I found information about Linzi Zhaole Village in a 2015 teaching support blog on Baidu.There was a child from Zhaole Village in the Xuzhuang Town Primary School where they went to teach. It was also mentioned that this child had to climb a whole hill to study, which was very difficult.

From this point of view, Uncle Le mentioned "Zhaole Village" instead of "Zhaoyue Village".

Since the position is confirmed, there is a high probability that what Uncle Le said before was not fabricated out of thin air.

What follows is a long wait.Fortunately, A Fei's eldest sister arrived in BJ three days later and took over his work. I also lied to my family that I was going to visit A ​​Fei for a few days, and made a statement with him in advance.After A Fei booked the ticket to return to Zhoucun the next day, I also bought the high-speed train to Linzi three days later.

From making up my mind to going to Linzi, it took only a week. During this period, the tools I bought online have basically arrived.Before leaving, I put the jade lezi on my hand on a rope and put it on my hand, praying that this trip would bless me with good luck.

Three days later, it was already noon when I got off the high-speed rail with the crowd and got out of Linzi Station.At a glance, I recognized Ah Fei who was standing at the exit with a few black bags piled up at his feet.

The brother reunited after a long absence, and I gave him a big hug as soon as I went up.I haven't seen him for a year, and Ah Fei is darker than when he graduated, and his figure is also stronger.

The two of us found a nearby restaurant to have lunch, and then began to discuss the itinerary for the afternoon.

The location of Zhaole Village is so remote that it is not shown on the Gaode map. We can only find a rough range by relying on the description in the blog.

We were dressed in big bags and small bags, and it was too ostentatious to take the bus. In the end, we had to call a taxi and take us to Xuzhuang Town, which is the closest to the village.

According to the blog, Zhaole Village is in the valley north of the town.The road further down is estimated to be impossible for taxis, so we have to walk there.

A Fei and I decided to rest in a small hotel in the town for one night first. If we set off now, we will probably find the village after dark, let alone go up the mountain to find a cave if we are not familiar with the place.

"Brother Li, I'll just listen to you this trip, those things are your strengths." Ah Fei said naively when he was counting tools in the room at night.

"I'm no stranger to antiques, but this is the first time in my life that I'm going to the tomb. I don't know if there are any goods in the tomb this time. Everything depends on whether God rewards the meal or not." In fact, it was like this I have a lot to do with antiques, but when it comes to going to the tomb, I'm definitely a baby.Except for the plots of going to the tomb in archaeological programs, tomb robbery novels and TV dramas, my actual combat experience is almost zero.

"Anyway, what will happen tomorrow, I will remember this kindness forever. Brothers don't say thank you, but if something happens, I will definitely carry it forward."

Seeing Ah Fei's serious expression, I was momentarily at a loss for words.He knew in his heart that a large part of the reason for this trip was to help him.

"It's disgusting, if something happens, just don't run ahead." I joked with a smile, "You clean up first, I'll go out to get some air."

In fact, regarding this trip, my heart is also extremely disturbed. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.I lit a cigarette outside the door, looking at the mountains to the north, trying to see some lights and the shadow of the village, but I scanned left and right, and all I could see was a dark outline.

But just such a sweep, I suddenly had a strange feeling...

The mountains in the distance present a unique posture, not to mention the hills that are a little closer. The two peaks in the distance stand on both sides of the mountains, and there is a bulging hill in the middle. Looking at the entire mountain range, it looks like a huge ingot, and it seems that two hands are holding something.

Since ancient times, all large tombs have been buried in places with excellent geomantic omen.

I once read an ancient book called "Shanshui Qimai Burial Sutra", which described a kind of spiritual cave in a mountain range that was very similar to the mountain I saw in front of me.The twin peaks stand opposite each other, hugging the hills, and the air is stored inside. Fengshui is already excellent. If there are streams nourishing the mountains, it will become the dragon's nest mentioned in Fengshui, which is enough to conceive the luck of the emperor.

I told A Fei about this discovery, and he was also amazed, and even took out his hands to take a few pictures. I could clearly feel that he was a little excited.It seems that this discovery gave both of us a little more confidence in this mountain range.In such anticipation, the two of us slept soundly for a night.

Early the next morning, we headed north all the way to Zhaole Village with big bags and small bags on our backs.

Although this road looks not far away, it is almost a slow upward slope, and with heavy equipment, we have not walked for an hour, and we are already out of breath.

Just like this, we stopped and stopped all the way, and at about eight o'clock, we finally came to the foot of the mountains.According to the blog, you can reach Zhaole Village by crossing the small hill in front of you.This village is perfectly hidden in the valley between this small hill and the peak behind it, no wonder there was no light when I looked at it from a distance last night.

It is winter now, and looking around, the nearby hills are a withered yellow and light brown tone, and looking farther away, the two towering peaks and the hills between them show a gloomy dark color.

After resting for a while, A Fei and I thought about turning over the hill in front of us in one go.

Fortunately, this mountain road is not difficult to walk. There are dirt roads formed by people traveling for many years along the way. It seems that people in the village often go in and out of this hill.When Ah Fei and I climbed to the top of the mountain exhaustedly, the village located in the shade of the mountain immediately appeared in our sight.

"I didn't expect such a large space to be hidden behind this hill." Ah Fei couldn't help sighing as he looked at the dozens of bungalows at the foot of the mountain and the stretching mountain fields at the foot of the peak.

Looking at this village, I also feel the same way. From a distance, the hill seems to be closely connected to the peak, but now it looks like another village.

The next section is the dirt road going down the mountain. Around nine or ten o'clock, A Fei and I finally walked into this village.It is indeed very eye-catching for us to enter the village in full armor and with big bags and small bags.But A Fei and I had already thought up a speech, saying that we are students at the University of Geosciences, and that we came here to complete practical projects during the winter vacation and do some geological exploration.

A Fei's hometown is in such a small village. He knows very well that there are no guest houses in this kind of place. If foreigners want to do something in the village, they have to go to the village head, so he asks the village head everywhere. Fortunately, the dialect of A Fei's hometown is similar to that of this place. If I come by myself, I probably wouldn't even be able to understand the words.

In fact, I originally thought that it might be a better choice to go to Uncle Le's house, but I asked several old people on the street, and they all said that there is no one surnamed Le in the village.I knew that I was tricked by that old man again. After confirming that this was Zhaole Village, I had no choice but to follow Ah Fei to find the village chief's house to stay overnight.

After seeing the village head, we explained our purpose and handed over four red tickets.

After the village head heard about it, he happily cleared out the east wing for the two of us to settle down. He also said that the construction of the motherland depends on young people like us.

Hearing this, I felt somewhat embarrassed. If he knew that we were here to rob the tomb, he might not want to drive us out with a shovel.

I don't know if it's for the sake of us or the four red notes. The village chief's wife cooked a large table of vegetables, put some out in a bowl and sent them to the west wing. It was very hot, and we all sat around on the kang to eat and talk, and it was only after ten o'clock, so the meal was combined with brunch and lunch.

A Fei tutored high school students in geography when he was a tutor in college. Now he was talking about geological changes and the formation of mountain ranges at the dinner table.I can't help but praise in my heart, Ah Fei has really entered the show by doing a full set of acting.

The village chief was also listening enthusiastically, and after drinking some wine, he insisted on talking about the local ghost legends from the mountain behind the village.

"I'm talking about two high-achieving students. Listening to what you said just now, I, an old man, have gained some knowledge. I will also tell you something you don't know." The village chief took another sip, and his face was obviously a little red , "There has always been a legend here. I heard from my ancestors that the mountain in the past was not like it is now. In the past, the two connected mountains behind me were called Huya Mountain, but there was no high hill in the middle. "

"Could it be that the piece in the middle was moved here?" I said with a smile.

"It's almost the same as the ones we moved here." The village chief took a bite of the vegetables and put it off.

I was shocked in my heart. Although the height of the hill in the middle is far lower than the peaks on both sides, it is at least 200 meters. Is it possible to move a hill between the two peaks?
What's more, when I first entered the village, I observed that this mountain range is not a simple east-west direction. Beyond the two peaks and one hill, there are still continuous mountains.In addition, there are mounds in front of it, and the surroundings are separated, so there is no way to move mountains and soil.

"Could it be caused by the movement of the earth's crust, the continuous collision and extrusion of two mountain peaks?" A Fei started to play with the set in the book again.

The village chief smiled and said, "I'm telling you two, the one in the middle, we call it the dead man's bag, and it's full of dead people."

When I heard this, my heart trembled, and I looked at A Fei again, his face was already very ugly.
