Chapter 18 Chapter 17 Bones

We observed the next four weeks, Liu Shisan took the lead and continued to move forward, we hurriedly followed behind and looked up, the little green snakes still appeared on the tree from time to time, but at the moment they seemed to be very afraid of us, no more Meaning to attack, they turned around one by one and burrowed into the branches and leaves.It seems that sulfur is used to deal with snakes, and it is really tried and tested. Walking past the skeleton just now, Er Xia couldn't help but glanced at him again, then simply stopped to stare and look carefully, and I said to him, are you so scared that you haven't recovered yet, have you? Created a psychological shadow for you again?

Er Xia replied: "Who said that? I just wanted to see what the origin of this unlucky fellow was. I was just wondering, do you think the mountain people who collect herbs still wear this kind of Roman watch?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, Liu Shisan stopped, turned around and walked towards Er Xia, Er Xia pointed at the man and said, "Look at the watch on his hand, if I'm not mistaken, it must be a high-end product. What does this person do?" I leaned forward again, only to find that this guy really had a golden watch on his arm bone, which was covered by the sleeve of his clothes and was covered with mud and green moss.Hong Ge stepped forward, picked up a branch, and gently raised his arm, a group of flies flew up, I subconsciously covered my nose, looked up, and saw that the white arm bone was indeed covered with a It is a Roman watch, and the quality seems to be very good. Apart from being dirty, it doesn't show any oldness.

"Hey! He's still a rich man! Why did he die here? What did he do here?" Amao yelled casually. Hong Ge didn't speak, and continued to use the branches behind him to search for something, and then picked it up lightly, and even picked out a yellow-green backpack. Judging from the strength of Hong Ge's use, it seemed to be heavy. "Master Liu!" Hong Ge put down the bag and turned to look at Liu Shisan. Liu Shisan nodded and pointed to the backpack. Hong Ge immediately put on his gloves and opened it carefully.This is an old-fashioned canvas bag, with a slightly rustic appearance, but it is very practical and the texture is also good. The bag in front of it has not yet rotted.

Hong Ge opened the button on the top and poured out all the contents with a "wow". A lizard jumped out of the enamel tank and ran away. It must have settled here, and some medicines, a big bag The moldy white flour-like food was packaged in plastic bags, which had already formed sun, and there were some tools such as pliers, wrenches, and daggers. There was nothing special that could prove the identity of the deceased. Now that we have gone through so many things, we are not too shy about the dead now. Seeing that nothing was found in the bag, we turned to observe the corpse itself.Liu Shisan said: "This is by no means a mountain dweller collecting herbs. It must be in disguise. I definitely did not come to this place for tourism. The only possibility is..."

I was startled, and immediately understood what he meant. I looked at the corpse and said, "Is there any evidence on him? I also don't think he is an ordinary mountain man. This watch alone is enough for him to spend ten minutes." New Year's medicine!" He said while holding a branch in his pocket, and he touched a hard object. I carefully felt the outline of this object. Although it was only the branch touching, I could still feel it clearly. I got it, but I didn't have gloves, so I didn't dare to reach in to get it. Er Xia and A Mao stepped forward to check the contents of the backpack, Hong Ge saw my wink, came to my side, touched the contents of the pocket lightly, his eyes widened immediately, and he reached out to take it out A dark metal object turned out to be a pistol.

I was slightly taken aback, but in a blink of an eye, Hong Ge was obviously far more surprised than I was. Although he didn't show it, I could still see his surprise from his eyes. "It's a pistol! It looks like it's not an ordinary person!" I said to everyone.Hong Ge turned his head, held up the rusty pistol and said to Liu Shisan: "Master Liu! This is Type 64, but it's obviously an imitation. Could it be..." I learned before that Hong Ge is a retired veteran who participated in the Vietnam War. The wounds all over his body are the testimony of his escape from the dead. No one of us knows more about firearms than him. Listening to him now As soon as we said it, we understood the general idea.

Er Xia and the others found several maps and two diaries in another dark bag in his backpack. Most of the paper had been rotted away, and the characters on it were too deliquified to be readable. Only a few were not completely blurred. It can be seen from the outline that this is Burmese.After another pour, two things fell out, which surprised us even more. They turned out to be two empty syringes. When I saw the attire and watch earlier, and what Liu Shisan said, I immediately thought that this guy was also an uproar.Then I saw the imitation pistol and thought it was a deserter or something. You must know that many people in Myanmar fled to Thailand, Laos and other border countries in order to escape the civil war. The conditions in the my country-Myanmar border area leading to our country are really bad. It is impossible for ordinary people to pass through this dangerous and dangerous jungle.

Back then, the Chinese Expeditionary Force went to Burma to join hands with the United Kingdom and the United States to fight against Japan in order to protect the smooth flow of the "anti-war blood vessel" of the Burma Road. Due to poor cooperation of the allied forces, the entire line was defeated.After the return route was cut off by the Japanese army, they retreated northward from the Savage Mountain on the China-Myanmar border. It took more than two months. Due to the miasma in the dense forest, the prevalence of diseases, and the lack of medical care and food, these hundreds of miles of uninhabited land turned into A veritable road to death, more than 50,000 expeditionary soldiers were buried here.Its tragic, tragic, and cruel are rare in the world's military history, and it is really painful to think about it.

But the danger is the danger. When it is a last resort, deserters still try to escape to our country through this road.It wasn't until I saw these two syringes that I suddenly realized. Hong Ge turned around and picked up the sealed white "food" package he saw just now, cut it open with a knife and smelled it carefully: "It really is a desperado! Master Liu ! This guy is a drug dealer!" Er Xia suddenly said: "Damn! No wonder he is so fucking rich, he is really a master who wants money but not life!" The China-Myanmar border area has always been lively and peaceful, with smooth trade, but it has been greatly used by some drug dealers. In order to avoid being hunted down, drug dealers often take advantage of the complex terrain there and flee to the mountains to hide.I think the drug dealer must not have escaped alone. His accomplice may have either escaped or died for other reasons.But judging from his situation, the possibility of death is relatively high.

Hong Ge said: "This gun is an imitation of our country's 64-type pistol, which is commonly used by them. Depending on the situation, he must have run from our country to the deep mountain to avoid being hunted down. If you say he came from Myanmar The one who ran over there, I can conclude that there is no such possibility at all!" I thought it made sense when I heard it. We have seen the dangerous scene just now, and this is just a small test of the dangerous jungle. If we are not fully prepared for this dangerous environment, it is really hard to say how far we can go. .The Shehuan Mountain we are going to this time has not yet reached the territory of Myanmar. From the perspective of the natural environment, it is not the worst place. If we talk about a place like Savage Mountain, I will pour out a golden mountain even if it can be poured out. Can't beat him to death.

Er Xia held up the notebook he had taken out, flipping through the pages, as if trying to find something, while Ah Yan was staring at the notebook, from her eyes I could see that they had found nothing.Er Xia threw the notebook in his hand aside, and said to Ah Yan: "The words are so soaked up that they're all messed up, you can't see anything at all! What are you looking for? This guy is a Burmese drug dealer! You are good at appraising antiques, can you tell how long this person has been dead?" I knew what Er Xia meant when I saw Er Xia's appearance. It was too difficult for this guy to ask him to read books, and it was even more impossible for him to read pages like this. Now that he is so serious, I naturally I understand what he feels at ease. Ah Yan said to him: "What do you think I am? You can tell how long this person has been dead just by looking at the degree of decay of a few pieces of paper? Do you think that appraising antiques and forensic medicine are the same thing!" Brushing the hair on his forehead, he got up and walked to Liu Shisan. I leaned forward and whispered to Er Xia: "Hey! What are you thinking about, boy? I remember you used to dislike her very much, why is your attitude turned 180 degrees now? Don't you have some ideas, kid?" Er Xia hurriedly replied: "Hey! Huanzi, what are you thinking? I am doing it for our own good. Think about it. Now you can get as many things as you want from her. At least we will get out of the tomb. I can get a few good things, but I can’t suffer, right? I don’t believe that these guys belong to the Chinese Minority Protection Association! Hey! Don’t say it, this girl looks really good, she is definitely worse than that Liu Yifei No, I said brother, you can't miss it this time!" I glared at him and said to him: "Don't talk nonsense here." Er Xia replied unconvinced: "You didn't start it." The two were arguing in a low voice, but A Yan said: " What are you muttering about? Come and help me!" We ran over immediately when we heard the sound, and Liu Shisan pointed to the skeleton and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are a good person or a bad person, no matter what, he is dead. Now that we have found it, we can't let him die in the wilderness, where the wind and the rain blow." , let’s quickly dig a hole and bury him on the spot! After that, let’s move on!” As soon as I heard it, I thought it made sense, and there was nothing wrong with it. Several people also agreed, and then they picked up the shovel and started digging.Although the soil here is soft, the roots of the trees are intertwined. We dug and shoveled the ground for more than ten minutes before we dug a big hole in the ground. Hong Ge stepped forward to gently move the corpse, Er Xia volunteered to roll up his sleeves, put on his gloves, and together with him removed the skeleton, carefully placed it in the dug deep pit, and then put his Things, including the rusted and unusable pistol, were thrown into the pit. Several of us waved the shovel and filled the pit. After tidying up, she was about to turn around and leave, but she saw Ah Yan squatting under the big tree just now, staring at something.We felt strange and moved closer together, only to find that a piece of bark had been scraped off from the tree, exposing the beige trunk inside, and there were two lines of small characters on it, this place was blocked by bones just now, now move away The bones were exposed. Looking at the style of the word, I guessed it was Burmese again. "Erni! What's written on it?" Liu Shisan asked softly. We stood on the spot and almost formed a circle around Ah Yan, looking at her expectantly. Ayan frowned slightly, her eyes flashed with melancholy and panic, and said softly to us: "This is in Burmese, and it is probably carved by this person! It means: You can't go ahead, there are ghosts in that place!"
