Chapter 217 Entering the Back Mountain (1)



Liao Qizhu swallowed and said, "It's my fault for waking you up. I left some tools in the garden and suddenly remembered them in the middle of the night, so I wanted to come and get them.

I didn’t expect to see such a scene. I was very worried at the time, afraid that the mudslide would submerge the entire house, so I called you.”

Xie Ling walked forward and pushed Gu Wei.

Gu Wei understood and immediately said, "You all should go back first. It's too late. Tomorrow I will ask the soldiers from the county government to come and help. We will find out the truth soon."

After Gu Wei's words, everyone finally felt relieved and walked back holding umbrellas.

Pei asked, "Aren't you going back?"

Gu Wei shook his head, "Don't worry, mother. I know what I am doing. You should go back and have some rest."

Pei looked at Gu Wei worriedly, but finally left.

He said, "Remember to protect A Ling."

"good."

Wu Zhengqing and others did not leave, wanting to see if they could help in any way.

Jiangxue also stopped where he was. He was a thoughtful person and guessed that something must have happened between Gu Wei and Xie Ling.

Xie Ling walked forward, half squatted, took out a small flashlight from her arms, and looked at the age of the bones.

"This one for one year, this one for three years... the oldest for seven years."

After completing the entire investigation, Xie Ling looked into Gu Wei's eyes.

All these bones are the result of people dying year after year.

This shows that they are the victims of the Jinling Lane mystery.

The little yamen runner who told Gu Wei about this matter must have had the bones of his relatives among them.

The secret of Jinling Lane lies on the hill behind Gu Family Garden!

If it weren't for this mudslide, they would probably have been kept in the dark!

Xie Ling said coldly: "Let's go, it's best to cover up your tracks while it's raining, let's go up and take a look."

Gu Wei nodded, looked at Wu Zhengqing and others standing nearby, and briefly explained to them the secret of Jinling Lane.

Wu Zhengqing took out a short blade from his arms and said, "I'll go with you."

Gao Wanhua knew she was a rookie, so she said, "I won't go, so as not to hold you back."

Finally, except for Gao Wanhua, everyone quickly put on waders and walked up the mountain.

Jiangxue walked in front, released her little snake, and muttered something in Sanskrit that no one could understand.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, he explained: "I asked Xiaobai to see if there is anyone nearby. He is very smart."

There are very few people living in Jinling Lane, and the biggest reason is that it is remote.

Because Jinling Lane is at the outermost edge of Sinan County, when you walk into this lane, you can even see the vast green mountains of Lingnan one after another.

Behind the Gu family’s house is a tall green mountain. From the outside, it looks like just a small hill, but when you walk in, you will realize that there is a lot of mystery inside.

After climbing over this small hill, there are green mountains one after another, with ridges upon ridges and dense trees. As far as the eye can see, there are tall, towering trees everywhere, and green thorns that are prickly and knee-high, like an ancient tropical rain forest.

Even though it was raining so hard, there were still mosquitoes, and Xie Ling was bitten by several big lumps.

The group walked in the woods for a while.

Shi Shaowen looked at the ground and said, "The land here is quite fertile. I guess because it has not been planted, the soil is still very good. If it can be used to grow vegetables, it will definitely be a good harvest."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

An idea suddenly popped into Xie Ling's mind.

How about building a military settlement here, and letting Gu Wei's Gu's army live here when they arrive? It can be used for training and concealment.

Xie Ling's heart was pounding, and she wanted to see if there was any flat ground around.

Just as they were thinking about it, they crossed the large forest and came to a flat ground covered with fine green grass.

At this time, the green grass had been bent all over by the heavy rain, and it felt soft when stepped on. It was much more comfortable than the forest full of thorns.

The flat land had no end in sight. One could only see seven or eight large mountains in the distance, forming an oval that surrounded the basin.

Feng Jianqingli looked towards the east with full eyes, "There is a big cave over there, there seems to be something inside."

Everyone walked east.

It took them almost half an hour to walk from this side to the cave over there, and they were walking at a very fast speed. You can imagine how wide this plain is.

What's even more strange is that Gu Wei actually found some remaining iron fragments in the grass, which looked like weapons.

And as they walked, almost everyone noticed that the grass they stepped on was different in color. The grass on the forest side was dark green, and the grass on this side was light green.

In some places there is no grass yet, revealing only yellow mud. These places without grass are connected together to form straight lines, either horizontal or vertical.

Gu Wei frowned and said calmly: "This should have been a training ground before. The training was in the center, so the grass here is green because it grew in the back.

As for the straight lines of mud, they are where the soldiers are lined up, and over time no grass will grow on them. "

This explanation is very reasonable and everyone thinks it should be so.

As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, everyone arrived at the bottom of the cave.

Wu Zhengqing shouted: "There is gold in the soil!"

Everyone quickly lowered their heads, it was true!

There are a lot of gold ingots, gold bars, and gold bricks in the soil. I don’t know what washed them away, and they are slightly worn.

Everyone quickly piled all the gold together.

In addition to gold ingots, Gu Wei also picked up a lot of silver bills. The words on them had long been blurred and were stained by the rain.

By piecing together the pictures one by one, Gu Wei roughly restored the handwriting above.

"Xiangtai Bank... This bank has been closed for more than ten years. It seems that these things were stored here by someone a long time ago."
