Meng San

A few of us had breakfast and Xiao He drove us to the airport. On the way, he repeatedly told us to pay attention to safety. I said, don't worry. I have learned to be sensible after experiencing so many adventures. Besides, I won't go to the ground this time. Then I remembered that my second aunt's bronze helmet was still with me, so I asked him to turn around and help me send it back.

Needless to say, when we entered the airport and waited for the flight, none of us had any luggage and it was very leisurely. Only Zhao Gu carried a small bag with a strip of white sand stuffed by Xiao He.

Beijing to Chengdu took off at 11:30, and it was already 15:00 when we got off the plane. There was an episode where Tietie's face looked a little strange when the plane was taking off and about to land. I began to think that he was afraid of heights, but he said No, it was just a novelty for the first time.

We left Shuangliu Airport and found the address given by Lao He. It was a place called the Affiliated Hospital of Ya'an Vocational and Technical College. I used my mobile phone to navigate. It was not very far. It only took an hour and a half to drive, so I took a taxi. , four people killed them.

After I got off the car, it was getting dark, so I called the person who contacted me. He said hurriedly that he was very sorry. The car broke down halfway and was heading towards us. He would definitely arrive in another 20 minutes. I said it didn't matter.

Datou was bored and went to smoke nearby. Zhao Gu was watching the live broadcast with headphones. I looked at his tie and asked him if he was hungry. He said a little, so I invited them to eat noodles at Fat Brother Noodle House opposite. The noodles were very good and the boss was not fat.

While I was eating, I called and came in. The other party had already arrived. I said I was eating noodles and asked him to come in. After a while, a smiling guy came into the store. He opened the curtain and came in, scanned around and went straight to the rest of us. He smiled at me and said, "Second Master, you can just call me Meng San. I'm really sorry. The car is not powerful and broke down halfway, leaving everyone here to satisfy their hunger. Let's go, I will be the host and help you, Second Master. I will definitely give you a few more penalties in a while."

This man has a friendly smile and a pleasant speech. He is probably responsible for stepping on the plate. The business here is actually very good. There are cliff tombs, rock pit tombs, and brick chamber tombs. From the Warring States to the Ming Dynasty, the span lasted for more than 2,000 years. There were no major epochal gaps during this period, and there were even more than in the northern Central Plains. Therefore, The entrance to this hall is also one of the few large halls under Longshan Pavilion.

They have their own process for shipping goods, and have formed a solid industrial chain from discovery to sale. People like the person in front of me are eloquent and good at talking about ancient times. They often gather and communicate with local elderly people to gain their trust and get a lot of information about ancient tombs. People like them who are good at talking and eloquent are called "tramplers". "Plate", "Plate" refers to the goods below.

Those who work in the fields are called "catching the plate", those who sell stolen goods to foreign countries are called "running the streets", those who work in the middle and ask for a higher price are called "carrying the plate", and those who come out to fish in troubled waters during severe crackdowns are called "protecting the plate". There is a clear division of labor between different positions.

"No, San'er, these are all our own people. I think this is good." I grabbed him and said, "You also know what we are here for. Don't rush for this meal. You can tell us first." Condition."

Meng San saw that we were not moving and didn't continue talking. He sat down happily and asked the boss to add a bowl of noodles and a large plate of cold elbow scallops.

While picking up the green onions on the table, he whispered: "To be honest, if you guys come here two days later, the superiors are going to send some powerful people in, because not only your guys, we There are two other people here who also went in, but they are still alive and dead, but their bodies are not seen."

"You guys can wait long enough." Datou feasted on the soup noodles and licked his mouth to satisfy his appetite: "If I had gone in earlier, I would have seen what kind of master there is."

"Hey, isn't this a special situation..." When he saw the boss coming to deliver the noodles, he kept silent and only asked us to eat. The boss walked away and then whispered: "The first is that you suspect that there is someone secretly causing trouble. We Afraid of alerting others, I did not take action. The superiors only ordered people to keep an eye on the surroundings. The second point is that the old house is a bit special. Wangyu Ancient Town is a scenic spot and there is still a lot of tourists. There is a B&B next to the house, and people come and go. It's not easy for us to go in there and search wildly. You also know that we are not clean. If we get into trouble, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

I wondered: "I heard that you went in and searched, didn't I?"

He lowered his body and said: "Yes, I went in, and searched every room, but there is something wrong with that house." After saying this, he glanced at all of us. When the boss saw that he had nothing to say, he scolded him and said, "Don't show off. , you still want to talk about the decomposition next time."

He smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm used to it. People who came back at that time said that the house was searched and it was empty but very clean. It didn't look like it had been unoccupied for a long time. They also asked around. , the neighbor said that there were people in that house at first, but later they sold the house and moved it away without knowing what happened, and it has been abandoned for a long time."

Datou and I looked at each other and asked him: "You mean there are people who have been secretly living in the abandoned house in the past few years?"

"Yes." He began to eat noodles.

"Then how does he live? Just eat, drink and have diarrhea." Zhao Gu asked from the side.

"This is where we think there is a problem. You are right, he cannot not eat or drink, but no one around knows that there are people living in the broken house. What does it mean? In Wangyu and his accomplices, someone secretly gave He gave away daily necessities."

"Then why don't the people in the house come out on their own?"

"Maybe he is hiding from something, but there is another possibility." I said and looked at everyone, "That is, someone has been imprisoned in that house for so many years. It's not that he doesn't want to come out, but he can't come out. But no matter where For some reason, there must be something fishy about the house, and I think it is very necessary to conduct a comprehensive and detailed search of the old house."

Meng San nodded and said no problem. He remembered something again and said a little embarrassedly: "By the way, we will not participate this time. Our people have criminal records in the local area and they look familiar. If something goes wrong, It's easy to deal with. If you need any support, you can mention it."

I muttered: "No problem, after all, it's not just a pot. The four of us are enough. I have one more thing to ask you. Do you have any connections with the local real estate bureau? There were no intermediaries at that time. Can you help me find out? Here's the transfer information of the buyer who bought that old house, I want to see who the transaction person is."

Meng San thought for a while and thought about giving it a try, so he went out and made a phone call. He came back shortly and said that there was a relationship. He had asked someone to ask, and any news would be synchronized.

The meal was finished quickly. Meng San rushed to pay the bill. Datou joked that he was very generous and wanted to see if he could be hired to work here. Meng San took us out and said, "That's great. The fields here are quite rich, but we are short of masters like you, brother." Datou was flattered by what he said, and asked me if he had seen it. He had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that I was a master. He asked Meng San strangely. It stands to reason that the Feng Shui here is not as good as that in the Central Plains. Why is there so much oil and water?

We got in the car, and Meng San explained with a smile while looking towards the fish: "Sichuan is special. Although its altitude is less than 700 meters, there are many high mountains around it, and the altitudes are all between 3,000 and 4,000 meters. It's about about 30 meters long, and it's basically the same as Mount Emei. You've heard of Jiange, it's all that kind of thing. The poets all said that our mountain is 'so majestic and so Cuiwei that one man can't pass it but ten thousand men can't open it'. What does that mean? It's so steep. Such a special geographical environment has led to two phenomena. One is that the Central Plains regime that got up early has no ability to make an expedition. You will already be a tired army when you come. You still have to climb mountains and ridges to fight, so here is also It has become a gap that cannot be reached by the civilization of the Central Plains. It is rarely involved in wars and has not been plundered. Do you think it can be avoided?"

Meng San was very eloquent and had a kind face. He spoke eloquently, and several people were attracted by his words.

"Second, Chengdu is the largest plain in southwest China. How big is it? It is more than 10 times the area of the second largest plain in the Sichuan Basin. And more importantly, the entire south of China, including the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Pearl River Delta, etc. There are just a few plains, which provide the soil for the emergence of civilization. Who would want to live in the mountains and ravines, with no good food or sleep? Therefore, the various political regimes at that time all developed here, and the tombs left behind were naturally There are more."

I saw that Datou was obviously moved, so I told him that you can't betray the revolution. While he said no, he asked Meng San for details and what the price of the work was. I cursed this bastard in my heart for still doing outsourcing here. Ah this is.

The journey took about half an hour. Before we reached Dimeng San, I got a call from him. He answered the call and said thank you a few times. He hung up the phone and looked at me in the rearview mirror. He said, "I found it. The house is here." It was sold more than 20 years ago, before computers were introduced at that time, and the specific stock contract can no longer be found. I only found a receipt and the buyer was named Wan Hongbing. Nothing else can be found for the time being. "

I sighed. There were so many people called Red Soldiers across the country. Without specific information, I couldn't find anyone with just a name. It seemed like this line was dead.

I sat in the back seat and closed my eyes to rest. I had a feeling that besides us and the Cao family (including the invisible force), there was another team. This feeling was not groundless.

In fact, all things about the Cao family were caused by our forces. For example, who was the person who forced Cao Zongwu away? Judging from Lao He's evaluation, this person is not simple. Why did he leave the Cao family and go deep into the northwest? What is he avoiding? It is difficult not to think of the power hidden in the Cao family. And more importantly, judging from the attitude of the Cao family, some of the Cao family members do not know or are only vaguely aware of their existence, such as the second aunt and the others.

In this way, the Cao family is divided into two forces, one bright and one dark.

But what I sensed is not among these two groups. It seems to be a group that is outside all of us, but understands the context of the whole thing. I am also a little tangled in my heart. On the one hand, I have no idea intellectually Conclusive information, but my sixth sense told me that it was correct. I even doubted the identity of the exploration team that entered the snow-capped mountains that Dorje mentioned, and whether they were from that team.

While I was wondering, the car suddenly stopped. Meng San said he was about to get out of the car. As soon as I sat up, a piece of information flashed through my mind like lightning. I was so excited that my back was wet with cold sweat. Although I have never heard of the name Wan Hongbing, this surname is not unfamiliar to me. Lao Wan's missing brother?
