It was still dark, but Li Mo had already woken up. The smell on my body is unpleasant, but I can't help it. There is no condition for bathing here. The temperature in the forest is much lower, so it doesn't feel very hot.
"Li Mo, there is no bad news from the scouts yet. But we cannot be complacent, after all, the target is too obvious."
Shibin came over from a short distance away and handed him a small piece of beef jerky.
"There are many dangers in the mountains. We cannot set off easily before dawn. I have observed that if we speed up after dawn, we should be able to reach our destination at one or two o'clock in the afternoon. We are all full now and ready to go at any time."
"good."
An hour later, a long dragon snaked its way through the mountains. Li Mo often climbed high to observe the terrain. After all, the routes he took to enter the mountain twice were different. If you accidentally go wrong, climbing over a hill will be exhausting.
Although I had a lot of worries, I still successfully reached the lake at the end of the valley.
"Is it safe around here?"
Li Mo asked.
"Five hundred people have formed a protective barrier."
Li Mo said no more. He led a dozen people behind him to the entrance of the cave. He first carefully checked the secret sign arranged by the brown bear, but did not move.
"Remove the stone from the entrance of the cave."
"Do it." Shibin gave the order, and five soldiers immediately stepped forward and moved the stone away, revealing the deep hole behind it.
"As we agreed before, each person will bear fifty kilograms."
Shibin and Qin Sijun led people into the cave first, but Li Mo did not follow him in. He had already explained many important things to them, and now he only needed to wait.
About ten minutes later, the first group of people who entered had come out, each carrying a heavy baggage.
"Return along the original path, leave this valley as soon as possible, and pay attention to safety."
"yes."
The first soldier immediately saluted him, with excitement in his eyes. Their operation has been highly confidential, and everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement. They didn't understand until they entered the heart of the mountain and saw the endless boxes of gold bricks.
Groups of people came in and out until nightfall, and the last group of people came out of the cave.
"Li Mo, everything inside has been emptied, and back-ups have been deployed."
"Okay, let's leave this area overnight and notify the security personnel to shrink and retreat."
The golden treasure had been obtained, and Li Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days later, except for the security team, everyone else had walked out of the mountains and crossed the border into China.
"Li Mo, why don't you leave?"
Li Mo looked back and said softly: "This mountain road is too obvious. If the Myanmar government gets information from the islanders, it will easily discover it and guess the truth."
"So what, I'm afraid of them. If we really encounter them this time, just do it. Let's go back to the base and take a good shower first. I'm almost dizzy from the stink."
Li Mo crossed the border and returned to the military base in the mountains at night. Everyone was exhausted. Carrying heavy loads for two days in the mountains was a huge test for them.
Li Mo took three baths and made sure that there was no smell on his body anymore. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep without even eating a mouthful of hot soup or rice.
Although he is very strong, he has never undergone special training, so his endurance is far inferior to those of the soldiers.
Qin Sijun walked into the dormitory carrying a stainless steel bowl filled with noodles, poached eggs and beef. He walked to the bed and saw that Li Mo had fallen asleep and did not wake him up.
Shibin also brought a bowl in. Qin Sijun made a silent gesture towards him, and then pointed outside. The two walked out of the dormitory and squatted at the door to eat.
"I'm afraid I've never served anyone before, so now I'm going to serve only your brother. He can find gold treasures buried deep in that damn place. When I saw the boxes of gold bricks, I almost thought he was the reincarnation of a god."
Shibin turned to look at him, took a sip of noodle soup and said quietly: "Soon my brother will be your brother-in-law?"
Qin Sijun almost choked on his mouthful of noodles, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "When did Siqi and Li Mo get close?"
"Don't daydream. My brother has fallen in love with Sirui. On his birthday, he didn't invite anyone, so he invited Sirui alone, and he introduced her to his parents and his master in a serious manner. Master’s Wife.”
Shibin really wanted to hit him on the head. You dare to think about how someone like your own sister could fall into Li Mo's eyes.
"Is this reliable?"
Qin Sijun still didn't believe it.
"Why is it unreliable? The Erlongxizhu bracelet passed down from the Qing Imperial Palace that my aunt wore on her wrist was put on by Sirui herself. My aunt said that it was for her future daughter-in-law."
Qin Sijun nodded.
"Let's go get another bowl and chat slowly." Shibin finished a bowl of noodles in a few mouthfuls.
"It's a pity that the hot sauce here is not enough, otherwise the noodles would taste more delicious."
"I secretly hid a bottle for Li Mo. Let's go and share some."
When Li Mo woke up, he felt sore all over his body, especially his feet, and was bandaged with two layers of gauze.
"Wake up, how do you feel?"
Shibin poured a bowl of water and came over.
"A little dizzy, like my whole body is falling apart."
"You have had several blisters on your feet that have become inflamed, and you still had a low fever last night. The doctor will treat your wounds and give you two bottles of water. It is estimated that you will be fine if you rest for a day."
Li Mo took the water and drank it in one gulp, feeling a little more energetic.
"When it comes to fighting, even three or two of you are no match for me. But when it comes to endurance, I am far inferior to you. How long have I been comatose?"
"It's about four o'clock in the afternoon, a dozen hours or so. Which kind of noodles or porridge do you want to eat?"
"It's okay. Although I'm hungry, there's no taste in my mouth." Li Mo half sat up, "What's going on with that batch of gold now?"
Shibin poured him another bowl of water, sat by the bed and said, "They have all been repacked, a total of 2,859 boxes of gold bricks. I didn't let them count your share, so I sent it directly to you." Pack the wooden boxes into the warehouse, there are sixty-three large boxes in total."
"When will it be shipped out?"
"The soldiers participating in the operation will leave first. We will leave in three days. Five military aircraft will be used to transport them. After arriving in Kyoto, they will be transported by container trucks to the vault of the People's Bank of China. You will also have two more days of rest. Movement is restricted here. You Just bear with it.”
"Will mine be shipped back to BJ with you?"
"No, your batch is a civilian plane. You gather the people yourself and we will separate at the airport. This will save a lot of trouble."
Li Mo thought for a moment and felt that it would be easiest to transport it by himself.
"Can we communicate with the outside world here?"
"There is no signal on your personal cell phone, so you can use the landline."
Li Mo pulled out Chen Xiaojun's mobile phone number: "Contact him and ask him to arrange for fifty people to wait at Yungui Airport."
"Okay, I will arrange other things for you in advance. By the way, if you feel too bored in the dormitory, you can watch TV movies online."
Fortunately, otherwise I would be really bored.
Three days later, a jeep took Li Mo and the others to the airport. Brown Bear and his people were already waiting. When they saw Li Mo get out of the car, they quickly ran to him and asked in a low voice: "Is it the treasure in the middle of the mountain?"
"Well, you follow Qin Sijun, and he will hand over our part to you. There are sixty-three boxes in total."
The brown bear immediately showed an excited smile: "Yes, boss."
Li Mo took the green channel and entered the waiting hall directly. There were many people and it was very noisy. He looked around, walked to a quiet corner and sat down. There were four people following him, arranged by Brown Bear.
They saw that the boss was very casual and it was not easy to stand there. Just as they were about to sit down, they heard Li Mo wave his hand towards him: "You guys sit over there, I will make a few calls here alone."
After the four people left, Li Mo first dialed Sirui's phone number. It was noon now and he should be having lunch.
It only rang three times before it was answered.
"Xiao Mo, are you okay?"
A warmth suddenly rose in Li Mo's heart, and he replied with a smile: "It's nothing, just a few blisters on my feet. It's nothing serious."
"Grandpa told me everything about you, but I haven't been able to contact you in the past few days. I'm very worried."
"I'm following your brother, how can he treat me badly?" Li Mo comforted her, and then asked, "When will you return to Kyoto?"
"It is estimated that the filming will be completed in another month. Then I can rest until the end of the year. Are you at the airport now?"
"Flight in an hour."
"Well, you should take a good rest for some time after returning to Kyoto. Xiao Mo, the director called me to come over for the scene, so I'll hang up first."
"Pay attention to rest and don't be too tired."
"good."
Li Mo hung up the phone and contacted a few more people before he stopped.
"Can I sit here?"
Li Mo originally wanted to close his eyes and rest his mind, but he didn't expect that someone would also take a fancy to this slightly quiet corner of the place. He took a closer look and saw that she was a woman in her twenties. She has long black hair, a good figure, and decent facial features, but the big black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose suddenly make her look a lot more rustic.
"You can sit down, sit wherever you want."
The woman sat one meter away from him, leaning against the wall. She took out a large notebook from her backpack, opened it, and studied the contents carefully.
Li Mo closed his eyes again, and within ten seconds he heard the woman receive a phone call.
"Third uncle, I'm on a plane in an hour. Well, although there are no people in the other branch, I still got some useful clues. I will tell you in detail when I get back. Alas, although there are clues, but It basically doesn’t play a big role in finding things about our ancestors.”
"Okay, I know. Third uncle, is there any new news from Jintian?"
"It seems that the things are not buried in the gold field. OK, let's talk about it in detail."
The woman hung up the phone, took out a piece of bread from her bag and ate it. Li Mo opened his eyes and said, "The accent sounds like you are from Jinling?"
"The same to you?"
Li Mo waved his hand and said: "I'm from Shanghai. I've been to Jinling many times before, mainly to visit the Jinling Museum. I also like the food in Jinling very much. There is a restaurant called 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea' which is quite famous. The food came out delicious.”
"Hey, you are really familiar with that place."
"I have also been to Tangshan Hot Spring Resort, Confucius Temple, Xinjiekou, Hunan Road and other places, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to visit both sides of the Qinhuai River."
"I can't tell, you quite like traveling. You don't want to study anymore?"
"Majoring in archeology at Beijing University, I am a sophomore this year. I came here to play for a few days during the National Day. I was delayed in going back due to some things. Fortunately, I have asked for leave from the counselor."
The woman's eyes moved, and she asked a little suspiciously: "I heard that this year Beijing University unearthed a prehistoric civilization site. Is this true?"
"Are you talking about the Yunshan Neolithic cultural site? Judging from the ancient characters unearthed, many ancient characters are obviously related to oracle bone inscriptions. Therefore, many experts and scholars speculate that the ancient characters on the black pottery should be the predecessor of oracle bone inscriptions. Although The Yunshan Neolithic Cultural Site Museum has been opened to the public, but experts are still studying and deciphering those ancient characters every day, but the progress is slower."
The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought for a while and took out a book from her bag. To be precise, it was an ancient book. The pages were yellow and infested with insects. She carefully opened a page and handed it to Li Mo for him to see.
"Can you recognize the words above?"
"This is a small seal script, so I know a little bit about it. This book is an ancient book, and it's really rare that it can be preserved to this day. But don't touch the water, it will be destroyed immediately if it touches the water."
Li Mo took a look and saw that the book had a light gray halo. It was an antique from the late Qing Dynasty.
The woman carefully put the ancient book away, handed him the unopened mineral water and said, "Let me meet you. My name is Hong Meixiang. Maybe we will meet again in the future."
"Hello, my name is Li Mo."
Li Mo raised the water in his hand, meaning I have water, thank you.
"You major in archeology. What do you think of the Taiping Peasant Uprising in the late Qing Dynasty?"
"To be honest, I'm really not familiar with that period of history. I only know that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was very prosperous for a while, was sadly destroyed by internal strife and consumption. I also know another piece of information, which is the legend about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's treasures. Unfortunately, it's not until now. There is no definite news.”
"Legends are legends after all."
Li Mo took a sip of water and closed his eyes again to rest. The woman not far away frowned slightly. She wanted to say something but finally held back. She moved a little further away carefully, trying to be as far away from Li Mo as possible.
The plane finally took to the sky.
"Boss, there are too many things this time. They may have to be transported into two underground treasure houses."
Brown Xiong, who was sitting next to Li Mo, said that the previous batch of porcelain returned from Europe contained 30,000 pieces. The boss had so many treasures that there was no room to store them.
"Then let's separate." Li Mo turned to look at him, "I went to see your sweetheart last time, what happened?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"It didn't matter. We just had dinner together three times later. I think Mei Fang is still interested in me, but I'm worried that her parents will look down on me. After all, I'm a rough person."
"You will spend your whole life with her, not with her parents."
Li Mo sighed slightly, then leaned on the back of the first-class sofa: "I'll take a nap first."
"Boss, please help me think about it again. What should I do next?"
"Go and find out what her parents like and you can go with her. If you need any help, you can go to Xiaojun."
