Tomb robbers are indeed the most rampant around this time. The country has just liberalized its policies. Many people take this opportunity to make a fortune and dig up tombs everywhere.
It is very possible that someone is staring at me on the mountain opposite, so I don’t know if my judgment is correct.
Grandpa Qin: "..."
You are right, I am the rat you met.
Looking at everyone, he didn't hide anything. While eating, he told about his encounter with the tomb robbers and his next plan.
Mr. Shen strongly agreed: "You are right to do this. When we encounter lawless elements, we have to deal with them."
Grandpa Qin was eating rice and said "um" as an answer.
Shen Chenming came to the door of He Zhijun's house and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was Guan Aizhen. She was surprised to see him.
"Chen Ming! Why are you here? A rare visitor! A rare visitor! Come on, come in and sit down. Are the three children at home okay?"
"Everything is fine. Thank you sister-in-law for your concern. I have something to do with Lao He."
He Zhijun came out of the study and asked him suspiciously: "Old Shen! Why do you want to see me so late?"
Shen Chenming sat down and told the situation that Grandpa Qin had discovered very seriously, and then asked: "Teacher! Should we care about this matter? Or should you call and inform the relevant departments in Haicheng?"
He Zhijun did not make a decision immediately. He lowered his head and pondered. After a moment, he asked: "Old Shen! You are the chief of staff! What do you think we should do about this?"
Shen Chenming did not hesitate at all: "My opinion is that we immediately organize people and sneak into the mountains to see the situation. If it is true, we have to stop it. After catching the person, we will inform the local department in Haicheng based on the situation."
He Zhijun nodded: "Your idea is good, then I'll do it as you wish. Don't worry! I'll be there for you no matter what happens."
Shen Chenming stood up: "Then I'll organize some people to follow me into the mountain."
"Okay, go ahead! Pay attention to safety." He Zhijun sent Shen Chenming to the door and warned carefully, "Be careful of your injuries. Don't look at you now. You are fine. If you really do something, you still have to pay attention. You But he’s a father of three.”
"Yes, be sure to pay attention."
Shen Chenming nodded goodbye to He Zhijun and went to choose someone.
He chose all his former subordinates, and although their skills were not first-class, they were still relatively good for the division.
Four were chosen in total, plus five of his own.
The four are Liu Shuying's man, Wu Yingying's man, He Xiaojuan's man, and one is Chen Xiangmei's man.
Let them gather at the gate of the army, and he will go home and take Grandpa Qin with him.
He was the guide, and it was easy to find those people with him leading the way.
Knowing that they were going to arrest someone, Li Yuan was very worried but did not dare to say anything.
Mr. Shen looked stern and told Shen Chenming: "Be sure to catch the person. The country's things cannot be possessed by individuals."
"Yes! Grandpa! I will definitely catch those people."
Qin Shuangshuang had nothing to explain, and only said one sentence to him: "Take good care of grandpa, and pay attention to safety."
"good!"
Shen Chenming agreed, then looked at her and the child, and left with Grandpa Qin.
Mr. Shen sat for a while, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the guest house alone. Qin Shuangshuang was worried and stayed with him.
In the past, when grandpa was here, she didn't worry about anything. Grandpa was in good health and took Mr. Shen to the guest house. The two of them had company and talked and laughed on the way.
The old man told her along the way not to send it away, but he was still worried because he could do it alone.
After accompanying him to the guest house and watching him enter the room, Qin Shuangshuang went back.
Grandpa Qin took Shen Chenming and the other four people and headed into the mountains in the dark.
As expected of an old hunter, no one could see the marks he made clearly except himself.
A group of six people went up the mountain with firewood in the dark night. After walking for more than an hour, they reached a valley.
A shack was set up in the valley, and there was still a weak light on. It looked like it was either a flashlight, a lantern, or a candle.
Grandpa Qin was a little surprised when he saw it. He lowered his voice and told Shen Chenming: "This shack was just built. It wasn't there when I left."
Shen Chenming gestured backwards, and the others all squatted down. Then he gestured again, and the four men got up and spread out in all directions, quietly groping towards the valley.
It was the first time that Grandpa Qin saw people in the army acting. He felt that his grandson-in-law was really awesome. He didn't need to speak during the whole process, and only made a few gestures, so everyone knew how to act.
"Grandpa! Don't move here. I'll go down and take a look."
Grandpa Qin had no objection: "Then you should be careful. Tomb robbers have some strange methods, so don't get in their way."
Shen Chenming nodded and touched it lightly.
The other four people also arrived at the designated location to ambush, waiting for Shen Chenming to issue orders.
With firm eyes, steady steps, and light and agile movements, Shen Chenming was like a dexterous owl soaring under the night. In the dark night, he was like a cheetah, quietly approaching the target.
There was silence all around, except for the chirping of insects in the distance and the leaves swaying gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds.
There was a faint light in the shack, and through the cracks, Shen Chenming could vaguely see the figures inside.
Cautiously, he moved closer, his ear pressed against the wall of the shack, trying to catch any glimmer of useful information.
The air was filled with the scent of burnt wood and moist earth, which made him pay more vigilance to the movements around him.
Hidden in the darkness behind the shack, I gently opened a gap with my fingers and peered through it.
I found four people lying huddled on a piece of hay, with a lantern placed not far in front of them.
Judging from their clothes, it is obvious that they come from a good family. Although their backs were turned to him, the clothes they wore were of very good quality and not something that ordinary people could afford.
There were also some tools beside them, including thick hemp rope, large sacks, iron hooks, shovels, dustpans, and several flashlights.
Looking at the four figures on the ground, three thin and one fat, Shen Chenming felt that they looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere. But where is it? He frowned in thought.
Searching in his memory, he had seen so many people that he couldn't remember them for a while.
Mainly because he saw the backs of these people, but not their faces. If he had seen their faces, he might be able to remember them quickly.
The four people sleep in a very special way. They all sleep in the same position, facing to one side, with the fat person sleeping in the middle, a thin person in front, and two in the back.
This way of sleeping seems to be extremely rare in China. Are they from abroad?
Suddenly, he remembered.
Aren't these four the four who took their place on the train when he and the girl came back from their wedding?
Why did they come here?
What a fate! I can actually see them in the wild mountains.
