Chapter 64: We can’t let the old hero lie dead in the wilderness

Monitor?

Are you a soldier?

Su Chen immediately felt respect.

In their world where ghosts are revived, soldiers are similar to the people of Xuanmen, and they are all willing to risk their lives for the safety of the people.

The difference is that the former kills enemies, while the latter slays ghosts.

The woman told the story slowly and leisurely.

"My dad joined the army during the war. He fought the enemy for three days, and only the squad leader and he were left in the entire squad."

"Luckily, a large force came to support them, and the seriously injured were taken down the mountain for treatment. But halfway down the mountain, they encountered a group of Japanese soldiers."

"The comrades who came down the mountain to pick them up hid the squad leader and my father. They fought with the Japanese and all died. When the squad leader saw the Japanese approaching, he asked my father to hide and ran away to lead the enemy away."

"My dad had a broken leg at the time and was very weak. He heard a few gunshots later and thought the squad leader had also been killed, so he fainted."

Old Liao strolled over to watch the fun and sighed when he heard what was said.

"When my father woke up, he was at a villager's house at the foot of the mountain. He heard that the Japanese troops had planned to sneak over and attack from both sides, but the gunfire attracted the attention of the main force, and the Japanese were all wiped out."

"They went up the mountain to collect the remains of the fallen comrades. My father dragged his injured leg to check each one, but he couldn't find the squad leader."

"Later, my father told his superiors about the situation. The superiors personally led people up the mountain, but still couldn't find the object. My father dragged his injured leg up the mountain, but still found nothing. Later, the troops had to leave, and my father, as a soldier, had to obey orders, so he had to leave with regret."

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, my father retired from the army. He didn't go back to his hometown, so he chose this place. He would go up the mountain in his free time, but after all these years, he still didn't find anything."

"His health has been getting worse recently. The doctor told us to be mentally prepared. He fell into a coma the day before yesterday, and kept calling for the squad leader. I thought, I want to fulfill his wish before he dies..."

As the woman spoke, tears began to fall. She quickly took out her handkerchief and turned around to wipe her tears.

His husband patted her shoulder soothingly.

"Master, I met Boss Zhang at the hospital yesterday. He heard about this and asked us to come to you. Do you think this is a way to figure out where the old squad leader's body is?"

Old Liao also hurriedly urged: "Yes, that's right, young man, this is an old hero, we can't let the old hero's body be exposed in the wilderness."

Even Aunt Li, who was listening nearby, nodded.

Apeng had just escaped from the sea of ​​suffering of spinning in circles and his head was dizzy. Hearing this, he looked at Lao Liao curiously, then at the woman, his little face full of confusion.

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

"The place where the corpses are found has a different aura than other places. But according to what you said, after so many years, the aura has become weak. I don't know if we can find it."

The woman's eyes gleamed. "Master, what do you mean... can you come into the mountains with us? It's okay if you can't find it. We'll pay for it."

Su Chen did not answer directly, but turned around and asked:

"Do you have your father's horoscope? Let me calculate it."

The woman nodded repeatedly and took out a piece of red paper from her bag. Su Chen calculated it and his face darkened.

The woman had been carefully observing his expression, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw this.

"Master, my dad..."

"Tonight."

The woman trembled and her whole body went limp, almost sliding off the chair.

Su Chen returned the red paper to her and said seriously, "What I mean is, if you want to fulfill the old man's wish, you might as well ask someone to carry him up the mountain."

"Firstly, if the body is found, he can see it with his own eyes. Secondly, the old man has a good relationship with his squad leader. Before he died, he went to the mountains. His squad leader might take the initiative to look for him. It would be easier to find the body by starting with the soul."

The woman exchanged glances with her man and quickly gritted her teeth: "Okay, Master, I'll arrange it now."

Seeing them getting up to leave, Su Chen gave them a few more pointers before finally saying, "Call me before you leave. I have some arrangements to make here as well."

"Hey, okay."

The couple left in a hurry, and Old Liao sighed: "It must have been forty or fifty years since we fought the Japanese in Cuicheng. It's been so long since we were buried. No wonder it was so hard before we died."

Su Chen didn't answer him, but turned to look at Lin Jingyu: "Brother Yu, I guess I can't go at noon, and in the evening... I guess it won't be possible either."

Lin Jingyu waved his hands hurriedly: "Hey, the old hero's matter is important, I know."

"That's right..." His eyes fell on Apeng, "We're going into the mountains. It's not easy to take care of the child, right?"

"It's okay. Boys need to exercise more."

Upon hearing this, Apeng hid behind Lin Jingyu in fear, shaking his little head almost like a rattle.

"Dad, I don't want to go with you!"

"If you don't go, Dad won't go back to the city at night, where are you going to sleep?"

"me……"

A Peng pouted for a long time before he lost his temper and said reluctantly: "Then, then I'll go with you."

Su Chen tidied up the yellow talismans on the table and started drawing again. When the woman came over again, he stood up, gave 7 of the yellow talismans to Lin Jingyu, put the rest into a cloth bag, and pulled Apeng out.

"Dad, I, I want to eat more..."

Passing by a stall making candy figures, Apeng subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

I gave him one, and the little guy immediately became happy and started running and jumping.

After a bumpy ride, Su Chen was slightly surprised when he saw Longshan Mountain in the distance.

What a coincidence.

When Apeng turned his head and saw the old man lying on the stretcher, the old man was unconscious, with his eyes tightly closed, and breathing in less than out.

A Peng shrank his neck in fear and pulled Su Chen's clothes tightly: "Dad~"

"Don't be afraid, grandpa is an old soldier. He fought against the Japanese and he is a good man."

Apeng nodded, but still didn't let go of his clothes. Seeing this, Su Chen took his little hand and said, "Let's go with Daddy."

The little guy was really well-behaved this time and didn't complain much all the way into the mountains.

The woman led the way in front, and her husband protected the old man behind. It took the group two hours to reach the place where the old man had hidden.

"Master, it's this crack in the rock. My dad said that his squad leader ran towards this direction back then."

The two huge rocks in front of me are very dark in color, almost black. They should be basalt, which is very common in the mountains of Cuicheng.

There is a crack in the stone about half a meter wide, and the cat is bent over in it. If you don't walk to the front, you can't see it at all.

The woman said, "Master, let me take you to the front."

Su Chen waved his hand: "Wait a moment."

He closed his eyes, sensed it carefully, and soon sighed in disappointment.

Here, there is no other scent but the faint scent of the mountains.

Fine.

He followed the woman and listened to her whispered explanation.

"When I was a kid, my dad and I often went up the mountain to look for people. I'm very familiar with this area. There's a cave on the left, not deep, only two or three meters. The right side is steeper, with a valley below. My dad and I went down with a rope before, but we didn't find anyone."

"It's not just this mountain. We've searched the neighboring mountains on both sides almost 20 or 30 times, but nothing is there. We've also asked in the village inside the mountain, but no one has ever collected the body. Master, how can we not find such a good body?"

As the woman spoke, she turned her head with a worried look at the stretcher placed beside the stone.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but his eyes turned red again.

Su Chen had been carefully sensing the changes in the surrounding mountain air, but unfortunately, after walking around with the woman, he didn't find anything.

When the two returned disappointed, they saw that the old man beside the stone had woken up and was looking around in surprise.

The woman ran up excitedly: "Dad..."
