Chapter 3 Stepping in

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. You have to climb two or three low mountains in a row before you can enter 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's a hot day in August, but now that I'm deep in the mountains, I can 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 in fright 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 there seemed to be nothing different about it 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 will not be suspicious if they see it. They just think that the camphor tree is too big and blocks the sunlight nearby, so there is no other

The big tree grows.

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 showed a smile. 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 dig graves in the mountain. Afterwards, the two parties negotiated and agreed to take them to dig graves together. What they dug out would be theirs.

Divide equally.

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 then went to Magic City.

After traveling around the capital for more than ten years, I gained career and money, but I also lost a lot at the same time.

Gao Zhuang lost his life, and Gao Mingcheng also lost the love of his wife and children.

Thinking of all the events in his past 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 he was checking the spot, he was 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 went 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: "Why did you bring me here? 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 what Gao Mingcheng said was correct, but also felt that something was wrong. He was not very smart and often followed Gao Mingcheng behind him. He often did what Gao Mingcheng said.

Now Gao Mingcheng obviously didn't want to say it. Gao Zhuang calmed down after being entangled 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-mountain people, 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 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 himself was not idle. 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 the vegetation was richer 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 recalled 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 a 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 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.

Already.

The relationship between Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing was not particularly close, mainly due to the difference in seniority and they could not talk to each other. However, he and Gao Guobing's two sons had always been close to each other since they were young, and their relationship had 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 not a 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. Therefore, it is connected to another village and is shared by the two villages.
