(Looking at the news, Mohe broke the record of minus 50 degrees this year. It didn’t happen that night, so it was more than minus 30 degrees.)
I looked at the silly roe deer at my feet and was so blown by the cold wind that I woke up instantly.
"Speak! What do you mean, brother! Why are you following me all the time!"
Of course the dwarf deer didn't speak. It circled around me and then moved forward.
After a few steps, it stopped and looked back at me.
"Are you calling me?"
It raised its head against the snow.
I was so happy and suddenly felt novel. This was so interesting.
So the roe deer walked in front, and I followed behind.
I suffered the same loss as last time, so I brought a flashlight up the mountain this time and just followed it. It felt like I could cover several miles.
There was ice on my eyebrows, and I looked around with a flashlight.
Come here dripping with snow.
There are no roads here, it is very remote and can be said to be inaccessible.
"What is this place? What are you bringing me here for?"
Suddenly, the roe deer stopped in one place and kept hitting the ground with its head.
I went over and pulled away the snow, and soon the ground was exposed.
"What do you mean? There is something underground?"
At that moment, my curiosity aroused, so I sharpened a branch with a knife and used it as a tool to poke into the frozen soil.
As a result, the frozen soil was so hard that it couldn't be broken with a stick.
After thinking for a while, I came up with a solution.
I picked up some dry branches from around and made a fire, then squatted aside to smoke and wait.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the burning was almost gone, so I unbuttoned my pants and peed to put out the remaining fire.
You wouldn’t know the result until you dug it, but you were shocked when you dug it!
About forty or fifty centimeters below the permafrost layer, there was a whole rotten wooden baffle. When I lifted the wooden board, a hole like the mouth of a well was revealed.
It's dark underneath! Extremely cold!
The first thought that came to my mind was that this might be someone's abandoned sweet potato cellar, but it was quickly rejected.
Because I looked down with a flashlight and found that the ceiling was more than three meters high, and there was a shaky wooden ladder standing against the wall.
Whose sweet potato cellar would be built like this?
What’s even stranger is that I saw there was a door down there! It looks like it’s getting old.
Looking at this scene, I didn’t dare to go down.
Is this an air-raid shelter built by villagers during previous wars? Or... is it an ancient tomb?
The problem here does not look like an ancient tomb. There have never been any ancient tombs with this kind of structure in all dynasties. There have never been any.
At this time, I turned around and saw that the roe deer had already disappeared.
After thinking about it again and again, curiosity finally defeated the fear.
I started to climb down carefully on the wooden ladder.
As a result, when I was halfway up, I stepped on the air and fell from a height of more than two meters. I fell all over!
"Hiss...fuck, it hurts me to death..."
I climbed up holding on to the wall and took it easy for a while. There was a dull pain under my ribs and I felt a little out of breath.
I endured the discomfort, walked to the door in two steps, and raised the flashlight to look at it.
There was a thick layer of ice on the door. I tried to push it, but it didn't open. I took two steps back and kicked it hard!
The door was old and not strong, so I kicked it more than a dozen times! He kicked a big hole in the door panel.
I bent down and got in through the hole, and a cold air hit my face!
It's so cold that it's bone-chilling!
My teeth chattered, I shivered, and I looked around with a flashlight.
This is a small room, or a secret room, with a dusty table, a bench lying on the ground, and an old-fashioned horseshoe oil lamp on the table.
Move the flashlight slowly.
At this time, my pupils shrank violently!
There is a small bed in the corner. There are several thick layers of red cotton quilts on the bed. The quilt is slightly raised, as if... there is someone lying underneath!
I took two deep breaths, strengthened my courage, and slowly approached.
I used a stick to carefully pick open the cotton quilt, which shocked me!
What appeared in front of me was a shriveled corpse!
It's a male corpse!
The corpse's head was wrapped in a thick gauze scarf. Due to years of freezing and dehydration, the facial features were all shrunk! The back molars in the mouth are exposed! It's scary when you shine a flashlight on it!
I gasped for breath and whispered: "Master, forgive me! Master, forgive me! I accidentally disturbed your rest here, don't blame me!"
After saying that, I held up a flashlight and searched carefully to see if I could find any valuable old objects.
Soon, I found an iron box under the bed. It was so heavy that I couldn't drag it out with one hand!
Pulling it out with both hands, I looked it up with a flashlight and saw that the thing was locked, and the iron box also said "Beijing Team, for the third team."
When I saw the three words "Beijing Team", an idea flashed in my mind, and I instantly remembered something my grandfather said when I was a child.
When I was little, I only listened to them as stories.
My grandfather said that there used to be many people coming from the Guandong region in Mohe. These people came here not to open up wasteland and farm land, but to do the four main businesses of making money.
They are gold mining, logging, hunting, and ginseng digging.
Because there are many rare tree species and rare wild animals in our area, and there are also many placer gold mines underground.
At that time, we had the famous "Mohe Workers' Society" here, which had many teams, such as the Beihong Team, the Lixin Team, the Outpost Team, the Anti-Revisionist Team, and so on.
Is this "Beijing Team" the same team that used to dig for alluvial gold?
Thinking of this, my breathing became rapid and I became more and more excited.
Damn it, such a heavy box, could it contain a box of gold?
If so, that would be a big deal!
The sand gold I am talking about is not the kind of sand gold that is deceptive nowadays! After washing, alluvial gold becomes a kind of pure gold, which is very expensive!
The lock on the iron box is very big. It is an old lock from decades ago. It is completely rusted. I can’t open it with a knife!
In the end, I had no choice but to carry the iron box out.
Finally, only halfway up the mountain, I heard shouts.
"Grandson! Where are you, grandson!"
"My boss! My boss!"
I rushed down and shouted: "Grandma! I'm here!"
My grandma limped over and trotted over holding a stick.
Judging from her appearance, she was really frightened. She might have thought that I accidentally fell into some ice cave, or that I was eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains.
Mr. Liu was also sweating. He panted and said: "As long as everything is okay, boss, where have you been this afternoon! You don't know! We are going crazy looking for you!"
Doctor Fan was also there. I saw that she was wearing a scarf and her face was red with cold.
"Master, what is this?"
Mr. Liu saw the iron box, and I originally wanted to hide it from him.
I smiled and said, "I lost my way before. This is an iron box I picked up in the mountains. It's okay. It's such a cold weather. Let's go back quickly."
My grandma seemed to be holding her breath, and she immediately scolded me: "Grandson, I'm not telling you, why are you picking up everything at home? What's the use of this broken iron box!"
I didn't tell the truth, I just laughed and pretended to be careless.
10:30 pm.
When I got home, I locked the door and asked Dr. Fan to help me get a hammer and chisel from the drawer.
"What are you doing? What's in here?" she asked curiously.
I whispered: "Keep your voice down. I'm going to tell you that there may be gold bars hidden here. Do you believe it?"
"Gold...gold bars!" She covered her mouth with a look of surprise.
There must be something, otherwise the weight wouldn't be so heavy. I said don't worry, we'll know right away if it's there!
I went straight to the hammer and chisel, and tinkered with it for a while, and in a short time I opened the iron box.
Doctor Fan was also curious.
I just glanced down, frowned and said, "What the hell are these things?"
The box was covered with a layer of tattered oilcloth. I took off the tattered oilcloth and saw that everything underneath was tightly wrapped in red paper. There were a lot of things in rolls.
Gently tearing open the red paper, when he saw what was wrapped inside, Divine Doctor Fan screamed! He quickly covered his mouth again.
My breathing became heavier and my left eyelid twitched wildly!
A whole box full of old Xin Da Yang!
Put them neatly, one pile after another!
