After eating, Gao Mingcheng took Gao Zhuang and walked to Niuweiling in the north. When he reached the foot of the mountain, Gao Zhuang asked him, "What are we going to do?"
Gao Mingcheng didn't say it directly, he just said that he was taking him to see something good.
Speaking of this, Gao Zhuang became interested and followed Gao Mingcheng to climb the mountain with great interest.
They are in a hilly area with many mountains and little water, but fortunately, there are some low mountains near the village. They have to climb two or three low mountains in a row before entering the deep mountains.
In the past, Gao Zhuang often followed Gao Mingcheng around the mountains and fields, picking wild fruits, collecting firewood, digging out bird eggs, etc., but most of his activities were only in a few nearby mountains.
But this time, Gao Mingcheng took him directly into the mountains.
It was a hot day in August, but now, being in the deep mountains, I could only feel the coolness.
The trees were getting taller and taller, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves. The two men's intrusion startled the birds and beasts in the mountain, and from time to time, the sound of birds and beasts flying away could be heard.
Gao Zhuang's physical fitness is not as good as Gao Mingcheng's, and he is already a little out of breath.
"Brother Mingcheng, what are we going to do?" Gao Zhuang asked again.
Gao Mingcheng walked in front and looked around to identify the direction. When he saw the huge camphor tree on the opposite side of the mountain, his eyes lit up.
He pointed to the camphor tree and said: "Let's go there, let's go!"
After that, he continued walking towards the camphor tree. Gao Zhuang was very tired, but he didn't dare to leave. He followed Gao Mingcheng closely. After walking for about five minutes, they reached the foot of the camphor tree.
Gao Zhuang looked up at the camphor tree and felt that it seemed to be no different except that it was taller and bigger.
Gao Zhuang was looking at the trees, but Gao Mingcheng was looking at the ground.
There is a hillside-like open space next to the camphor tree. There are only some weeds and low shrubs growing on it. Ordinary people would not be suspicious if they saw it. They would just think that the camphor tree is too big and blocks the sunlight nearby, so there is no other big trees grow.
But Gao Mingcheng knew that this vacant land had a lot to offer!
"Brother Mingcheng, what are we doing here?" Gao Zhuang didn't see anything different here and looked at Gao Mingcheng strangely.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the ground that had not been destroyed and smiled. He pointed to the hillside and told Gao Zhuang, "There is a tomb below, the tomb of the Song Dynasty."
Gao Zhuangben stepped on the hillside. Hearing these words, he almost jumped up and walked down the hillside quickly. His face was full of disbelief: "Isn't it? How did you know? Don't scare me!"
Seeing his timid appearance, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice.
In the previous life, a group of tomb robbers came outside the village. After being discovered by them, they first drove them away and refused to let them enter the mountain to dig graves. Afterwards, the two parties negotiated and agreed to take them to dig graves together. What they dug out was theirs. Evenly divided.
Later, relying on the first pot of gold obtained by robbing tombs, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Zhuang left this small mountain village and fell into the rolling world. They went south to Xiangjiang, bravely entered the Special Economic Zone, made their fortune in Yangcheng, and went to the Demon City. After traveling around the city and the capital for more than ten years, I gained career and money, but at the same time I also lost a lot.
Gao Zhuang lost his life, and Gao Mingcheng also lost the love of his wife and children.
Thinking of all the events in his previous life, Gao Mingcheng felt mixed emotions in his heart.
It is now the end of August. He remembers that after school started in September, someone came to their mountains. Just when they were checking on the spot, they were caught by a group of young people headed by him. After some expulsion and negotiation, The grave was officially dug on September 8th.
According to time, there are still a few days left, but after Gao Mingcheng was reborn, he still wanted to come here to take a look in person to make sure nothing was wrong.
"Let's go!" Gao Mingcheng felt relieved when he saw that the tomb had not been dug. After saying hello, he walked down the mountain.
"Hey..." Gao Zhuang was a little confused.
He chased after him and asked like a machine gun: "What did you bring me here for? Just to see the tomb? Is there really a tomb under here?"
"Of course, now that you've finished reading, you can leave." Gao Mingcheng said that as it should be.
Gao Zhuang touched the back of his head. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what Gao Mingcheng said, but he also felt that something was wrong. He is not very clever and often follows Gao Mingcheng. He often does what Gao Mingcheng says.
Now Gao Mingcheng obviously didn't want to say it. Gao Zhuang calmed down after struggling for a while.
As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down, but this does not trouble the two of them. As half-mountainers, climbing over mountains and ridges is as easy as drinking water and eating.
After they got off the mountain, Gao Mingcheng assigned tasks to Gao Zhuang.
"Gao Zhuang, in the next few days, if you have nothing to do, you can wander around the foot of the mountain. If you see anyone trying to enter the mountain, come over and tell me immediately, you know?" Gao Mingcheng's tone was serious, and he wanted to do something big. Fan.
"Okay!" Gao Zhuang nodded habitually.
Gao Mingcheng gave the task of tracking to Gao Zhuang, and he was not idle either. He had no money in his pocket and it was inconvenient to do things, so he had to get some money first.
He first took the tools at hand and went up to another mountain. This mountain was a little far away from their village, but had richer vegetation and there were often traces of pheasants and hares. He planned to set up a few traps here, and then come to check every now and then. one time.
Looking at the simple trap he had laid, Gao Mingcheng remembered the scene in his previous life when he went hunting in the mountains with a shotgun after he became rich. That scene was the real scenery.
With one gun in hand, it's easy to kill a big wild boar!
He never went hunting in the mountains until guns and hunting were banned.
"When the group of tomb robbers come, I will give this credit to Uncle Gao Guobing and see if I can get a second-hand shotgun from him." Gao Mingcheng thought secretly in his heart.
Gao Guobing is also from their village, but he was promoted to the county seat eight years ago. Now he is a section chief of the police station. He has investigated many major cases and is considered a very respectable person in their small place. .
The relationship between Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing is not particularly close, mainly due to the difference in seniority and they can't talk to each other. However, he and Gao Guobing's two sons have always been close to each other since they were young, and their relationship has always been very good.
It's just that now Gao Guobing's eldest son Gao Hong has joined the army as a soldier, while his younger son Gao Yue is still in high school.
Gao Mingcheng went through what he had to do next in his mind, and then came to the edge of the largest reservoir in their village.
They are in a hilly area with many mountains and little water, and there is no decent river in the entire county. The water supply for all towns and villages depends on large and small reservoirs.
Their village has three reservoirs, one large, two small, and the largest reservoir has a water surface of 17 acres, so it is connected to another village and is shared by the two villages.
