Old Hu and Fatty took out the candies they bought and distributed them to the children in the village. Then, Old Hu and Fatty carried the television down from the roof.
"Hey, Old Hu, Fatty, why don't I see electricity in this village?”Xiang Qian stopped Old Hu and Fatty.
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
Old Hu and Fatty were stunned. They had forgotten to consider whether this backward village had electricity.
"Then what should we do?"
Fatty asked the question that he and Old Hu had at the moment.
"Forget it, let's bring them in. When the village has electricity, the old secretary and the others can see it.”
Xiang Qianhe and the other two carried the television and followed the old secretary and Yanzi into the house.
Seeing that there were no young men in the village, Old Hu asked Yanzi,""Yanzi, where's your man? Why didn't he see any young men in the village?”
"In the early stages, the mountain was set off with firecrackers and an underground tomb was blown up. The tomb was like an underground palace. Later, the government was alerted and an archaeological team came to the city. The young men in the village were hired to work.”
As they spoke, they entered the house. Old Hu said to the old secretary in front of him.
"Old Secretary, we bought you a television, but we didn't expect that there was no electricity in the village now, so you can keep it and watch it when there's electricity.”
As the old secretary was a little hard of hearing, Old Hu said loudly to the old secretary.
"What? Oh, thank you. Leave it there. You're so thoughtful.”
The few of them put the television away and went up to the kang. They ate and drank with the old secretary and the others. After eating for a while, Old Hu asked.
"Old Secretary, do the villagers still have any old objects that they picked up in the past?”
"It's gone. The archeological team has collected them.”
Hearing the old secretary's answer, Old Hu and Fatty were dumbfounded. It was over. It seemed that they had come for nothing this time.
After dinner, Old Hu called Fatty and Xiang Qian to the river outside the village.
"What should we do? We can't come here for nothing, right? Why don't we go find the stronghold of the Japanese Kwantung Army that the old man in the village mentioned?”Old Hu said to the two of them.
"Where is the fortress of the Guandong Army? Is it reliable?" Fatty asked Old Hu.
Old Hu: " There should be. The old people all said there is. It's in Dead Man's Gully."”
"We can just go and look for it. Since we're already here, we can't go back empty-handed, right?”
Xiang Qian interrupted them.
"Alright, I'll go back and borrow three horses from the old secretary. We can't drive in the mountains, so we'll go to Dead Man's Valley tomorrow to look for them.”
After Old Hu made his decision, the three of them returned to the village and told the old secretary their purpose of coming.
The old secretary readily agreed to lend them three horses. He was afraid that the three of them would not be able to find it, so he specially found a girl in the village who was good at hunting and knew the way to be a guide.
The next morning, after the three of them had their meal, they met up with Ying Zi, the guide that the old secretary had found for them. Under Ying Zi's lead, they advanced towards Dead Man's Gully.
A few days later, the four of them finally entered Dead Man's Ravine.
After entering Dead Man's Ravine, they found a place to rest. Yingzi went out to hunt two wild rabbits. After the four of them finished eating the roasted wild rabbits, Fatty got up and went to the toilet in the forest.
Fatty walked into the forest. Just as he took off his pants and squatted down, he heard a humming sound coming from the grass beside him. Then, a big wild boar walked out.
"Oh my god! Old Hu! Lord Xiang! Help!"
Fatty got up, pulled up his pants, and ran back while shouting.
"Not good, Fatty seems to be in danger. Quickly go and take a look!”
Xiang Qian and Old Hu heard Fatty's cry for help and hurriedly took their weapons and ran in Fatty's direction.
The three of them ran into the forest and saw Fatty lying on the ground. In front of him was a big wild boar that weighed about 300 pounds. It was approaching Fatty step by step.
Xiang Qian saw that it was only a big wild boar and did not even take out his weapon. He directly rushed up with his bare hands. When he was more than three meters away from the wild boar, his right foot kicked the ground hard and flew up. With a roundhouse kick, the wild boar that weighed more than 300 kilograms was sent flying.
The wild boar flew out and crashed into a tree that was as thick as an adult's arm. It fell to the ground with a groan. The wild boar stood up and strolled around the dizzy big pig head. Just as it was about to see who was so bold as to dare to hit it…
Xiang Qian rushed over and used his martial arts cannon fist to strike the spot between the boar's eyes, directly shattering the boar's brain. The boar fell to the ground and died after a few moves.
Old Hu helped Fatty up and asked him if he was alright. Fatty shook his head to show that he was fine and asked Old Hu,"Old Hu, is Lord Xiang so powerful?!”
Old Hu glanced at Fatty and said,""Didn't I say that I wrote to you? Lord Xiang is very powerful. You don't believe it yourself.“
"No, I believe what you said, but isn't Lord Xiang too amazing?”
"What is this? Let me tell you, on the battlefield, there was once when we fought hand-to-hand with the enemy. Lord Xiang killed more than 30 people with his bare hands and frightened the enemy.”
"If Mr. Xiang is so powerful, then why are you the company commander and he is indeed the platoon leader?”
"Originally, Lord Xiang was supposed to be the company commander, but he felt that being a company commander was too troublesome and inappropriate.”
Xiang Qian killed the wild boar and asked Old Hu and Fatty to chat there before he interrupted the two of them.
"Sigh, are you two done yet? Come and carry the wild boar. We might have an extra meal tonight.”
Old Hu and Fatty ran over, picked up the wild boar, and walked back with Xiang Qian and Yingzi.
Yingzi walked to Xiang Qian's side, glanced at him, and asked softly,""Big Brother Xiang, your martial arts are so powerful! How old are you this year?"
"Ah, Yingzi, I'm 28 this year, one year younger than Old Hu. I've been practicing martial arts since I was young, so my skills are not bad.”
“28？I really couldn't tell that Big Brother Xiang looks so young. I thought you were only twenty-four or twenty-five.”
"Haha!"
Xiang Qian smiled but did not answer Yingzi's question. Xiang Qian could tell that Yingzi was interested in him.
However, Xiang Qian knew his own situation. He had a mysterious bloodline and could live forever, but ordinary people did not. Xiang Qian did not want to see his lover grow old day by day and die in the end, while he still looked young. He would feel the loneliness of the future and live forever in his memories.
Therefore, Xiang Qian had not found a woman for so many years. He wanted to find a woman he liked and was in the same situation as him. That way, he could be with her forever. That was why Xiang Qian had always avoided women who wanted to get close to him. When he was in Changsha City, Yin Xinyue and the servant girl had introduced him to women, but Xiang Qian had rejected them all.
Yingzi saw that Xiang Qian did not want to chat with her, so she did not continue to ask. She lowered her head, thinking about something, and followed the three back to the place where they had just rested.
In the evening, the four of them had a meal of roasted wild boar. After eating, they wrapped up the remaining wild boar meat and saved it for tomorrow.
Xiang Qian let the three of them sleep while he kept watch. The three of them did not say anything. After all, ever since they entered Dead Man's Ravine, Xiang Qian had been keeping watch at night. In Xiang Qian's words, he had to meditate at night and not sleep, so he was the most suitable to keep watch at night.
The next night, Yingzi, who had been on the road for the whole day, walked into the forest to pick up dry branches. She wanted to live and roast meat. However, not long after she entered the forest, she screamed and was accompanied by a gunshot.
Xiang Qian and the other two rushed over with weapons and flashlights. It turned out that Yingzi had found a wooden house and a pile of dead bodies. Yingzi was afraid because it was dark and did not see clearly, so when she saw the bones in the wooden house, she screamed and fired a shot.
Old Hu and Xiang Qian went forward to search the bones and found a diary written in Japanese. It turned out that this group of people were the defeated and scattered pirates. They came to Dead Man's Valley to find the fortress, but they got lost. Later, they met a group of grave robbers. After learning that the pirates had been completely defeated, all the pirates retreated home. They were abandoned, so they killed the group of grave robbers and made them commit suicide.
Old Hu told them what was written in the diary, and Fatty became spirited.
"So there really is a fortress of the Guandong Army in Dead Man's Ravine? Looks like we didn't find the wrong place."
Old Hu did not answer Fatty. Instead, he took out the compass and looked at the moon and mountains in the distance.
