Chapter 1628 Return to Langcaozigou(2/3)
As the Oroqen girl spoke, she got off her reindeer sledge, walked a few steps forward with one hand behind her back, and grabbed the rifle in Wei Ran's hand.
"this?"
As Wei Ran spoke, he took out the box of cannons he had previously seized from the bandits and handed them to him.
After taking the gun, the girl first closed the nose of the box gun, then put it in her arms, and then slung the rifle over her shoulder.
"Come up and warm yourself up"
Wei Ran extended the invitation again, "If you haven't finished eating the lunch box you took last night, bring it over and heat it up. If you finish eating, I still have roasted potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes here."
After hesitating again for a moment, the girl walked back to her sledge, carried a lunch box and walked over, sitting across a brazier from Wei Ran on the sacks placed on the sledge.
"From the Oroqen tribe?" Wei Ran picked up a piece of boiled sweet potato and handed it to the other party as he spoke.
Glancing at Wei Ran warily, the girl took the baked sweet potato, took a bite, and said unceremoniously, "Show me your knife."
Hearing this, Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, then he happily took off his bearskin mittens and pulled out the food knife from his boot.
After looking at the light from the brazier, the girl glanced at Wei Ran's hands again, muttered something that he couldn't understand in disappointment, and then asked in Chinese: "Where did this knife come from?"
"It was a gift from a friend." Wei Ran took the knife that the other party had returned and put it back into his boot, and asked casually, "Are you looking for Hu Ba Zhi?"
Sure enough, when he said these words, he got what he expected and saw the surprise and vigilance in the other person's eyes.

"Lie to them"
"What's your last name?" The girl sat down again and asked cautiously.
"Don't tempt me, I'm not Tian Xiaohu either."
After speaking, Wei Ran also picked up a piece of roasted sweet potato and took a bite, "It's your turn. You have to reveal something so that I can trust you before we can continue the conversation."
After a long silence, the girl said, "Sister Hongxia, Song Hongxia, she has met me, she knows me."
"Do you know where to find the three of them?" Wei Ran continued to ask.
"Langcaozigou," the girl replied briefly, "it's my turn to ask, and I can't believe you either."
"Who asked you to come?"
Wei Ran continued to ask unmoved, "Shiyi or..."
"Do you still know Shopkeeper Yang?"
"Yang...Yang what? Shopkeeper Yang?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in astonishment, "That girl has become the shopkeeper?"
"Who the hell are you?"
The girl sitting opposite the brazier suddenly raised her hand. Hidden in her sleeve this time was a flower-mouthed roller.
"Do you want to go to that abandoned mine?" Wei Ran used a question to prove his identity.
After another long silence, the girl finally lowered her hand and nodded, then said with a hint of despair, "I...I don't know the road."
"Shiyi sent you here?" Wei Ran asked again.
This time, the girl shook her head, and her big eyes with frosty eyelashes were a little red.
"Who else could it be..."
Wei Ran thought for a while, "It can't be Zhao Jinyu, right? Or Zhao Jinge? Zhao Jinshan?"
"When can you take me to find them?" The girl did not respond to Wei Ran's speculation, "I have something urgent, very urgent."
"Let the animals rest first"
As Wei Ran spoke, he stood up and opened a sack, poured out the fodder inside, and distributed it to the mule and the two reindeer. At the same time, he asked casually, "My name is Wei Ran, what's your name?"
"Wunakan" the girl replied, "I don't have a Chinese name."
"What happened just now?"
Wei Ran asked a new question while putting ice and snow on the lid of the lunch box.
"I haven't slept for several days."
Unakan replied, "I fell asleep on the sledge while running. When I woke up, the two bandits had already dragged the reindeer and pointed a gun at me."
“Let’s eat something first”
Wei Ran said, handing the lunch box that had been heated by the stove to the other party, "Have a rest after eating. When the snow covers our sledge marks, I will take you to the mine."
Looking at Wei Ran warily, Unakan did not take the lunch box. Instead, she opened the lunch box she snatched away yesterday, took out a knife from her boot and stirred the soup that was still not completely dissolved.
Then he tore open the half-eaten pancake and threw it in.
Seeing this, Wei Ran smiled indifferently, sat on the sledge again, picked up a big bone and took a bite.
"Can you really find that mine?" Unakan asked worriedly.
"It should be possible. I haven't been here for a few years."
Wei Ran answered ambiguously, but at the same time he was also secretly wondering about something he had been thinking about since last night.
According to what Yang Shiyi said in the previous letter sent to Zhao Jinyu, Hu Ba pointed out that they had joined Wang Yachen's anti-alliance group. Why were they still active here?
Since this Oroqen girl named Unakan was not sent by Yang Shiyi or Zhao Jinyu's brothers, who could she be? It couldn't be the legendary Commander Zhao, right? No, no, no, it shouldn't be possible.
Seeing Wei Ran looking up at him, Unakan continued to eat without taking it seriously.
By the light of the brazier, he could see that the girl's cheeks and nose were red from the cold, and there were thick dark circles under her eyes.
I guess she has been traveling for a long time, right? Then where did she come from?
Amid increasing confusion, the two of them filled their stomachs in almost the same time. Unakan couldn't wait to ask, "When will we set off?"
Looking up at the large snowflakes still falling above his head, Wei Ran picked up the lid of his lunch box and took a sip of hot water. "Let's go now. Follow me. Don't rush to shoot when you encounter bandits."
"If you want to cheat..."
"Just kill me," Wei Ran responded quickly, "Anyway, if you walk behind me, you can shoot at any time."
Hearing this, Unakan was stunned for a moment, but then she couldn't help but smile. She left the warm brazier neatly and stepped onto her reindeer sledge.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party to be ready, so he shouted at the mule and started running.
The two sledges drove along for more than half an hour, and under the cover of wind and snow, they successfully arrived at the Sancha Gold Rush Ditch where they killed shopkeeper Cao Da.
Without stopping at all, Wei Ran continued to shout his mules into the woods, took advantage of the darkness and entered the Langcaozi ditch, and found the abandoned mine buried in snow.
However, what made him feel chilled was that when he dug through the thick snow, he found that the iron fence door staring at the wooden board seemed to have not been opened for a long time, especially the thick chain, which was not only rusty, but also rusty.
And even the iron lock has been frozen with the ice on the rock mass.
"Did you find the right place?" Unakan asked suspiciously.
“Can’t go wrong”
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already brought the brazier over to the iron locks and chains and was baking them patiently.
It wasn't until the iron lock melted the ice and was finally dried by the charcoal fire that it became covered with rust. Then Wei Ran moved the brazier aside, then took out the lighter from the metal book, unscrewed the oil storage tank, and pulled out the absorbent cotton inside.
Come out, squeeze out a few drops of kerosene at the keyhole and drip it in.
After waiting for a while, he fumbled around on the two people's sledges, removed a small piece of thin wire and inserted it into the keyhole. After a while, with a soft click, the iron lock was successfully opened.
Opening the door with some effort, Wei Ran took the kerosene lamp handed to him and lit it, and was the first to walk into the dark mine.
I returned to the "living room" of this mine with familiarity. I haven't been here for "several years" and now the place has long been empty, leaving only dust on the floor and hard dry horse dung and mule dung that have not been cleaned.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Without going further in, Wei Ran called to Unakan and said while walking back, "Bring the animals and sledges in first, and the rest will wait.
More details later."
After a slight hesitation, Unakan nodded, and first helped Wei Ran to bring in all the animals and the food on the sledge. Then he let Wei Ran help and brought in her two reindeer, the sledge and other things.
.
Finally, the iron fence door was closed and locked with an iron chain. Wei Ran took Unakan along the original mine tunnel and returned to the "inner room" where the loot was stored and the wounded were taken care of.
Except for the clay stove built of mud and stones, everything else has been evacuated. And judging from the dust accumulated on the leftover grass, I'm afraid they have moved away a long time ago.
"You really found the right place?" Unakan looked at Wei Ran suspiciously, and the barrel of a box cannon was poked out of her sleeve again.
“Nothing wrong”
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already entered a mine tunnel with an oil lamp. He wanted to see if the things that Mr. Cao had hidden back then had been taken away.
Following his memory, he searched all the way. When he came to the small mine, he found that except for the smoke paste in the tin can, there were no other items, such as submachine guns or silver coins.
.
Not only that, he also noticed that diagonally opposite the mine, there was a mine sealed with mud and stones. There was also a small incense burner at the entrance of the sealed mine.
Bringing the kerosene lamp closer, he could clearly see that in the middle of the wall, on a stone about the size of a thermos, the words "Anti-Union Fighter Sun Sisters Buried Together" were written in red paint.
A small word.
"Do you know the Sun sisters?" Wei Ran asked without looking back.
