Late at night.
A bright moon hung on the branches, and the silver light sprinkled on the four people who were roasting wild boar legs under the tree.
The oil on the boar's leg dripped into the flames below, making sizzling sounds.
It was almost ready to be roasted.
Jiang Chen picked the best piece of meat and put it in the bowls of Ying Zi, Old Hu, and Fatty.
Fatty took a bite and felt that the meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." Old Jiang, your meat is roasted to perfection!”
Fatty took another bite of the meat in the bowl and asked Yingzi,""Sister Yingzi, this Savage Valley is so big. Do you know where the Japanese's stronghold is?”
Fatty and the others had been searching in the Savage Valley for four days, but they still couldn't find any trace of the Guandong Army Fortress.
Hearing Fatty's words, Yingzi put down the roasted meat she was about to eat." I don't know. I'm just following the old secretary's instructions."”
Yingzi wanted to say that she was in charge of protecting Fatty, Old Hu, and the others according to the old secretary's instructions.
But when she thought of how Jiang Chen had been so straightforward during the day, as if he didn't need her protection, she swallowed her words.
"Yingzi, why is this place called Savage Valley?”
"Are there really barbarians?"
Old Hu glanced around the dark forest and asked.
Hearing this, Yingzi put down the roasted meat she wanted to eat again." This Savage Valley used to be called the Moon Holding Valley. It was the graveyard of the nobles of the Great Jin Kingdom.”
"Later on, the Tartar army broke through the Jin soldiers at Heifeng, and the bodies of those who died in battle were thrown into this ditch.”
"At that time, this place was called Dead Man's Ditch.”
"Later on, I don't know who discovered the savages, but this place was called Savage Valley.”
Fatty heard Yingzi's explanation and asked in a low voice,"Have you ever seen a savage?"
"No, I heard it from my father.”
"Those old men who saw the savages are no longer around.”
After Yingzi finished speaking, she looked at the slightly cold roasted meat in her hand and suddenly lost her appetite.
He stood up and walked to the forest beside him." You guys eat first. I'll go get some firewood."”
"Sister, I'll go with you. I'll protect you.”
Fatty said as he put down the bowl in his hand.
"No need. You can't even beat a wild boar.”
Yingzi didn't turn back and continued walking into the forest.
The fat man was annoyed that Yingzi looked down on him. He was about to say something, but Jiang Chen stopped him.
"Alright, Fatty, don't ask for a snub.”
Jiang Chen walked to Old Hu and Fatty and asked when he saw that Fatty had stopped talking.
"Do you know why this Savage Gorge was called the Moon Holding Gorge?”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the fatty shook his head.
Jiang Chen pointed at the mountain range ahead and said,""Look, this mountain range is winding upwards. Every time the moon rises at its highest point, the two tallest mountains on this mountain range are like two huge arms holding the moon.”
"I observed it on the way here. The terrain here is steady and vigorous, and it has the appearance of swallowing mountains and rivers.”
"The grassland we came from was like a vast ocean. This Moon Holding Ravine is like a river flowing into the ocean.”
"Although the feng shui here is not enough to bury an emperor, it is more than enough to bury a high official such as a prince, prime minister, or general.”
"It also absorbs the essence of the sun and moon.”
"Therefore, there must be such a tomb in the Moon Holding Ravine.”
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, a smile gradually appeared on Fatty's face.
At this moment, Fatty was thinking that since he was already here, if he could meet the big tomb that Old Jiang mentioned, he definitely couldn't leave empty-handed.
Even if they couldn't find the fortress of the Guandong Army, it wouldn't be a waste to find a tomb of a prince.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a gunshot startled Jiang Chen and the others.
"Oh no, something happened to Yingzi!"
Old Hu said, then he ran toward the gunshots with Fatty Jiang Chen.
Looking at the direction of the gunshots, Jiang Chen knew that Yingzi must have found the bodies of the Japanese.
After a while, Jiang Chen saw Yingzi walking toward them with a hound, thanks to the night vision ability of his Golden Eyes.
"What's wrong, sister?"
Old Hu looked at Yingzi's shocked expression and asked first.
"Brother Hu, you scared me to death just now!”
"When I was collecting firewood in front, I saw a shack.”
"I was curious, so I went in to take a look. In the end, it was full of dead people!”
"It was black and rotten. At first, I thought it was a savage, so I shot him. Then I ran back. In the end, I didn't see who the corpse was.”
Yingzi's eyes reddened as she hurriedly recounted what had happened.
After hearing Yingzi's words, Old Hu and Fatty frowned. Corpses?
Thinking of this, Old Hu said,"Sister, don't be afraid. Let's go take a look."”
With that, the few of them walked forward.
Fatty deliberately walked at the back. Looking at Yingzi, whose eyes were red from the fear that had not faded from her face, Fatty revealed a teasing expression and teased,"So you're afraid of dead people?"
After saying this, Fatty felt his entire body relax. He thought about how Yingzi had arranged for him to do this and that these few days. At this moment, he could finally vent his anger.
The fat man didn't laugh at Yingzi anymore. He followed Jiang Chen and Old Hu.
Yingzi's eyes reddened even more after hearing Fatty's mocking words. She looked at Fatty's back and said stubbornly,"I didn't."
