After a long time, Xia Shushi hoarsely read out the last two names engraved with difficulty: "Liang Yimin and Qin Shouzheng."

I picked up a towel and wiped the bottom edge of the tombstone, but there were seven palm-sized characters: Go home! You must go home!

"We're late," Qin Er murmured in a hoarse voice. But the rest of the people around him fell into silence.

"The cave is open!"

In this depressing atmosphere, Brother Yang, who had just been leading people to work at the entrance of the cave, shouted.

After hearing this, everyone stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave, which was not that big.

As strong flashlights shone into the cave one by one, what everyone saw was a cement-reinforced cave. The caves were one after another, one on top of another, almost filling all the space.

Countless white porcelain urns!

Mr. Zhou knelt at the entrance of the cave, carefully took out the first urn, and gently wiped off the floating soil on it.

The white porcelain lid was engraved with the words "Fifth Army of the National Revolution, Anonymous 1487" at the beginning of firing. The still solid white sealing mud can be seen at the connection between the lid and the jar body.

"The Fifth Army of the National Revolution, Anonymous 1487"

Mr. Zhou solemnly read out the identity of the soldiers of the expeditionary force that exceeded the record on the stone tablet, and then solemnly handed it to Qin II behind him with both hands, and then passed it from Qin II to Xia Shushi, to Wei Ran, and to the back.

People lined up spontaneously and finally arrived at the waterhole surrounded by bamboo forests.

A large canopy of black cloth had been set up here early. When these urns were delivered here, several female staff from China immediately fetched water from the waterfall and dipped them in towels.

Carefully wiped away the floating soil accumulated on the white porcelain urns, and then sent them one by one to the side, wiped off the water stains on their bodies, and carefully wrapped them with a blue sky, white sun, and red flag that was no longer used. Every 12 people

As a group, they were placed in a transfer box with shock-absorbing foam.

In the midst of everyone's busy work, a total of 1,487 urns were cleaned out and sent to the poolside under the canopy for three full days to be washed, packed and sealed, waiting to be shipped away together.

Thanks to the protection of this reinforced cave, none of these urns have cracked. However, because a few of them are close to the cave entrance, perhaps due to changes in humidity, the sealing mud on the lids and urns has fallen off.

But it was also through this opportunity that everyone discovered that after opening the lid of almost every jar whose mud seal had fallen off, some relics could be seen in a bamboo tube.

Some of these relics are just a few metal buttons that still have some traces of flames burning, some are simple tobacco pouch pots made of bullet casings, some contain an incomplete pocket watch, or simply some unburned pieces of cloth.

.

In the cleared cave, everyone also found a tombstone engraved with "Tomb of Liang Yimin, 22nd Division of the Fifth Army of Yicheng" and a grave bag next to it, as well as the only white porcelain urn with the exact name written on it.

"The tomb of Qin Shouzheng, the cook of the 22nd Division of the Fifth Army, the sworn brother who was born in Qian"

Qin Er read out the words engraved on the lid of the last urn, then raised his head and asked in confusion, "What does it mean to be young and beautiful?"

"Mai is an honorific in Burmese"

Mr. Zhou explained, "The name Nianqian is a bit special. It has a certain commemorative meaning and can be understood as peace or cessation of war. I remember my father once said when he was alive that after Uncle Shouzheng became the abbot of the temple, for convenience

During the event, he used the alias Nian Qian, and this name was given to him by Master Sehao."

Carefully sending the urn of the last expeditionary soldier Qin Shouzheng out of the cave, everyone walked to the unfinished Buddha statue. There were several bamboo baskets lined up side by side, some of which contained the items that Squad Leader Liang and others had used.

There were many used cooking utensils, some containing flower traps and other weapons snatched from the Japanese.

In addition, there is also a stoneware jar that is very familiar to Wei Ran.

The sealing mud of this jar is still intact, and eight red letters written in paint can still be seen on the roughly made jar - "On the day of returning home, let's raise a glass and drink together."
