Chapter Eighty-Eight: Cai Jincheng of the Demon Barrier

When the sun rises, it shines on the body very warm, and the bright yellow is a completely different color from the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water. The white mist in the reckless mountains has not yet dissipated, floating and rising in all directions. The flowing water of the valley below shone with a golden light, and the moment showed a tranquility that had never been seen before. Tang Cheng and the dice lay on their stomachs among the trees, chatting and enjoying the sunshine while observing the movement in the valley ahead.

The jade mine cave that was ordered by Tang Cheng to be blocked with explosives that day was in this valley, and he hadn't come for a long time, and Tang Cheng, who was hidden on the hillside, did not directly order to enter the valley, but chose to observe here for a while. However, they had been enjoying the sun here for a long time, and the valley was still silent, and there was no danger in sight. Who wants to risk their lives? Tang Cheng was obviously not such a person who was willing to take risks, and after stopping the dice, Tang Cheng decided to observe for another half an hour before making a decision.

The soldiers on the front line are taking risks every day and even every minute and every second, maybe because they are used to seeing life and death, the dice don't feel anything, but this is Tang Cheng's order, and he doesn't dare to disobey. "Tell you, if you want to survive or let your fellow townsman survive, you have to blame us for listening to us, or you will be the first to kill you." Zhao Liang in the bushes was threatening Matsuda and the others in Japanese, and the Japanese prisoners who were tied into a string of ropes either nodded their heads or looked disdainful, but none of them dared to stare at Zhao Liang.

Leaving yesterday's battlefield, Matsuda and the others, who were tied into a string of ropes, followed Tang Cheng and they stumbled in the woods, and there were 2 who did not want to follow, all of whom were pierced into blood gourds by Tang Cheng with bayonets. Faced with the bloody corpses of their companions hanging from a tree, Matsuda and the others wisely chose to cooperate, the group of soldiers in front of them was different from the soldiers they had seen in the war zone in China, these people were not so good at talking to prisoners.

Half an hour passed, and the valley was still silent, Tang Cheng waved his hand, and the dice took Liu Shishi to take the lead out of the bushes and down the hillside into the valley. There were no expected Japanese troops, and there was no ambush that Tang Cheng feared, and when they entered the valley, they soon found the hole that had been blown up by explosives that day. arranged for Dice and Tan Fei to lead people to set up guards at the mouth of the valley, Tang Cheng personally went into battle to force Matsuda and them to move stones to confirm the location of the cave entrance, and more than 20 unarmed captives were all strong people, and quickly cleaned up the large pile of rubble blocking the entrance of the cave.

"This is it, the Burmese said that their jadeite was mined from here, let your people go in and have a look, if it doesn't work, we have to go back to the camp immediately." The entrance to the cave has been found, and the gravel that blocked the entrance has been cleared, and the next thing is to be handed over to the people brought by Cai Jincheng to complete. Tang Cheng didn't understand what jadeite mining was all about, he originally thought it was similar to digging coal, that is, digging out a hole, and then going in to find the ore vein and excavate, but now he found that it was not such a process.

Looking at the stones brought out of the cave by the people brought by Cai Jincheng, Tang Cheng smashed it and didn't speak, these people brought by Cai Jincheng were all knowledgeable people, and in front of them, Tang Cheng couldn't interject at all. "Look at it, this is the jadeite rough, before the skin is rubbed, no one will know if there is jadeite in it, and I don't know what the jadeite in it is." Cai Jincheng grabbed a stone on the ground and handed it to Tang Cheng, if it weren't for Tang Cheng seeing a little emerald green from a broken stubble, he would really think that what he was holding in his hand was just an ordinary stone.

Since it has been determined that the jade can be opened in this cave, it will be easy to do, under the persecution of Tang Cheng, Matsuda and others dragged the red strips into the cave, and under the guidance of those people brought by Cai Jincheng, they used simple tools to mine the jade rough, and then carried them out of the cave piece by piece. "Lao Cai, this is too slow, just use explosives to calculate, blow up a large piece, and tell them to be stoned directly, your people just need to confirm, this can be faster." Tang Cheng saw that the captives were moving too slowly, so he directly called Liu Shishi to fill the hole with explosives.

There was a muffled sound of "boom", and a puff of smoke erupted from the cave, and when the smoke faded away, Matsuda and the others were driven into the cave again, and there were a lot more stones that would come out. Tang Cheng: They were both explosives and stones in the valley, and they were busy until it was almost dark, and the people brought by Cai Jincheng had already identified dozens of rough stones with jade. "Come on, don't tell me how much these things are worth now, I'll wait for the things to be shipped back to Kunming and handed over to my sister, no matter how good you say now, I can't look at the money."

Seeing that Cai Jincheng was going to come over and talk to him again, Tang Cheng was busy avoiding this guy who was already a demonic barrier, and throughout the afternoon, Cai Jincheng had been nagging in Tang Cheng's ear many times, saying that these rough stones that could already be determined to be jade were worth how much, and Tang Cheng was already annoyed when he listened. "You're too boring, it's just us here, I don't talk to you, can't I go and talk to those devil soldiers?" Cai Jincheng bit the cigarette in his mouth and squinted at Tang Cheng, but there was no anger in his tone.

"You can go to whoever you like, I don't have time to hang out with you now." Tang Cheng took out the map and spread it out on a large rock, and calculated on the map with the help of the light of the bonfire. "We only defeated a squadron of the Japanese army yesterday, and I deliberately let go of the deserters, just to let them bring the news to Magao, according to the time and speed, those defeated soldiers should have brought the news to Magao. Although I don't know how many Japanese troops there are in Magao, I think they will definitely send troops north to the red clay slopes, so we need to be faster and not let Mike worry. ”

"I found that you are idle, there are more than 200 people on Mike's side, and a large number of supplies to support it, as long as the Japanese army does not have planes and artillery, it will be difficult to break through Mike's defense line. It's also a big deal here, look, these are all money, as long as they are transported back to Kunming, they can be exchanged for a lot of money. Cai Jincheng grabbed a fist-sized jade rough stone and pointed at Tang Cheng to count the money, which looked very philistine.

Tang Cheng shook his head and didn't continue to talk to Cai Jincheng, packed up the map and got up to go to the valley to replace the dice and come back to eat, I don't know if it was Cai Jincheng's idea, and when Tang Cheng was replaced in the valley, he found that there were many torches lit in the cave, and those Japanese prisoners were lining up to carry stones from the cave. "Anyway, being idle is idle, and this is not the time to sleep, so I'll let them work a little longer, aren't you allowed?" Cai Jincheng bravely took the responsibility, but Tang Cheng ignored the matter, the people who worked were all Japanese soldiers, and Tang Cheng had no reason to stop it.

There were more and more stones carried out of the cave, and the people brought by Cai Jincheng could no longer check every stone, so they had to use a stupid method, using the hammers and iron chisels they brought to beat the edges of the stones one by one, and those who could conclude that it was jade left behind, otherwise they abandoned it. It was busy until the middle of the moon, and the beating in the valley was over, but the jade rough stones selected by Cai Jincheng's people had already piled up a large pile.

"What else can I do? Back, there are almost 40 of our people counting these captives, and everyone has a little on their backs, and I think they can almost be taken away. "Cai Jincheng originally thought that he would take people to stay here and continue to dig the mining hole, but he didn't want Tang Cheng to have already moved his mind to completely blow up and seal this place." Don't forget that we are soldiers after all, and there are opportunities to make money, we can't spend all our time thinking about how to make money, and I still have more than 200 brothers on the red clay slope, and I can't ignore them. ”

Cai Jincheng's reaction to Tang Cheng was just a smile, and he said in his heart If you are not greedy for money, why do you want to bring us here to find jade? Cai Jincheng could only mutter these words in his heart, he didn't dare to say this to Tang Cheng's face, because out of the corner of his eye, he had already found that Liu Shishi had opened the holster of the pistol on his waist. What Tang Cheng brought out this time are all people who know the roots, don't look at the fact that there are fewer people, but they are all brothers who can trust each other's lives. If Liu Shishi listened to Cai Jincheng and said bad things about Tang Cheng, maybe he would really shoot Cai Jincheng, anyway, this is on the battlefield, and it is nothing to kill a few people.

Liu Shishi's action of pulling out the gun was stopped by Tang Cheng with his eyes, no matter what, this Cai Jincheng was also introduced to him by his brother-in-law Huang Hanju, if Cai Jincheng was in his own company except for things, brother-in-law Huang Hanju would not be able to explain to the Cai family in Kunming, after all, the Cai family also has some power in Kunming. "Lao Cai, don't forget, there is not only jade in Myanmar, but also gold, I heard that in the monk temple of the Burmese people, those Buddha statues are made of gold, and that thing is much better than jadeite." didn't want to fall out with Cai Jincheng, Tang Cheng had to change the topic, and sure enough, Cai Jincheng immediately became interested.

When the expeditionary force failed to withdraw from Burma last year, a large number of expeditionary soldiers looted villages and monasteries in Burma as they retreated. For this reason, the British had reported such things to the Expeditionary Force Command, and the Ramgarh training camp and Kunming Airport also participated in many times, and gold Buddha statues were found on the soldiers returning to China.

"I have here a map of Burma, printed by the British, and it should have been marked with monasteries all over Burma. If you look carefully, maybe we will also have a chance to follow the army south to counterattack, and then we only need to sweep a few Burmese monasteries, maybe it will be faster than digging caves to get money. Tang Cheng easily coaxed Cai Jincheng, took the map handed by Tang Cheng, Cai Jincheng couldn't wait to run to the bonfire to open it and study it carefully, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng and Liu Shishi had already laughed so much that their stomachs hurt.
