During dinner, Yang Guang said to Wu Xiaolian, “Xu Ling and I will make a trip into the mountain tomorrow!”
“Go ahead. I won’t meddle in the affairs of young people like you guys!” Wu Xiaolian said with a smile.
Yang Guang and Xu Ling were a little puzzled and looked at her with puzzlement.
However, Wu Xiaolian changed the topic. “Oh right, if you are going into the mountain, I will prepare some food and water for you later. This way, you will be fine even if you play in the mountain all day!”
” …”
Xu Ling immediately understood. Wu Xiaolian thought that she was going on a date with Yang Guang!
She wanted to explain, but she didn’t know what to say when the words were on the tip of her tongue. Therefore, she could only sigh and say nothing.
In Wu Xiaolian’s eyes, this was as if she had tacitly acknowledged the relationship between the two of them. She was immediately secretly delighted. This girl was really shy. Why was she still looking for excuses? It seemed that Yang Guang’s marriage was finally going to happen!
Therefore, she immediately got up and happily prepared some dry food.
The night passed. The next morning, before the sun came out, Yang Guang carried a basket on his back and brought all kinds of tools with him before leaving home with Xu Ling.
The air in the valley in the early morning was very fresh. The moist leaves were stained with dew, and the scent of fresh plants was everywhere.
The two walked side by side and returned to the place where the fire was. Looking at the extensive black fire rummage, Xu Ling said with some heartache, “It’s such a pity for so many trees to be burned!”
“It doesn’t matter. There’s no lack of flowers and trees on this mountain. Wait until next spring, and you’ll see that these places are full of branches again!” Yang Guang said with a smile.
As the two of them talked, they crossed the fire rummage and quickly reached the pond where they had hidden yesterday.
The traces of last night’s incident were still there. When she recalled what had happened back then, Xu Ling was overcome with lingering fear. Then, she blushed.
Yang Guang was also reminiscing about what had happened last night. When he saw her blush, he immediately understood. “You also felt very happy last night, right?”
“No, I was almost scared to death. What’s there to be happy about?”
Xu Ling rolled her eyes at him and quickly walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Yang Guang knew that she was just being shy, so he chuckled and followed her. He didn’t say anything else.
When he came closer, he indeed saw two ropes hanging down from the weeds.
These were dark green nylon ropes. The mountain peak was covered with weeds, and if one didn’t look carefully from afar, one wouldn’t be able to see it!
He raised his head to take a look. This mountain peak wasn’t vertical, but had a slope. It wasn’t difficult to climb up by pulling the rope.
Therefore, Yang Guang said to Xu Ling, “How about I try it first? If it’s easy to climb up, you can go up. I’ll help you pull the rope from above!”
“Okay, you go up first!” Xu Ling nodded and said.
Yang Guang grabbed the rope and tightened it. Then, he stepped on the rock and climbed up.
He had just climbed up a few meters when Xu Ling grabbed the rope and began to climb.
When Yang Guang climbed to a height of more than ten meters, he turned around to take a look. Only then did he realize that she was following behind him!
“Gee, you’re quite impressive. You actually don’t need me to pull you?”
Yang Guang was a little surprised and asked with a smile.
“If it was vertical, I definitely wouldn’t be able to climb, but I can get used to a slight slope like this!”
Xu Ling pulled the rope as she slowly climbed up.
Just like that, the two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly reached the top of the 30-meter-tall mountain.
When they reached the flat ground above, Yang Guang stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Ling up.
The two of them sat on the grass and rested for a while. Then, Xu Ling pointed to the front and said, “Look, there seems to be something there!”
“The two guys from last night were here. They went down to look for us because they saw the bonfire below!” Yang Guang said and stood up to take a few steps forward. In the end, he found the things that the two of them left behind last night.
The things in the satchel were all personal items. These were the real tools and other things that they had brought.
There was a military shovel, hammer, chisel, and some balls wrapped in newspapers. There was also a fuse on them!
Seeing this, Yang Guang said with sudden realization, “No wonder the trees had been burned. So those two guys actually brought this. This is an incendiary bomb!”
Although he had never seen it before, looking at the fuse and smelling the thick smell of gasoline, he still understood!
Xu Ling was also very speechless when she saw it. She turned around and looked at the large fire field that surrounded the mountain at the foot of the mountain. She said angrily, “For burning down so many mountains and trees, the crimes of these two people are already enough for them to be sentenced to decades of imprisonment!”
“Since they are already dead, let’s not fuss about it!”
Yang Guang, his eyes shining, played with the shovel on the ground.
These tools were all good things. Even if they weren’t tomb raiders, they were still very useful.
After putting down the things, Yang Guang looked at the surrounding terrain and found that the place they were at was only a platform. In front of them was a mountain peak.
This mountain peak was slightly steeper. It was about 90 degrees and faced the east.
The flat ground under his feet was like a chair, and the mountain peak was the back of the chair. So after taking a few glances, Yang Guang turned to look at Xu Ling. “There might be a huge tomb here!”
“Really? What do you mean?” Xu Ling asked.
Yang Guang smiled. “I don’t know much about Feng Shui, but just based on my instinct, I feel that this place is a treasure land. Look, the back of the mountain is facing the place where the sun rises. Isn’t this location good?”
“Yes, the scenery is really good. Standing here, we can not only see the surrounding mountains, but we can also see the distant mountains and towns. The view is really excellent!” Xu Ling nodded and said.
“So if there’s a grave, it might be the grave of a big shot. Let’s go and take a look!” Yang Guang said and dragged her away!
After walking for a short while, the two of them came to the front of the stone wall. Sure enough, there were traces of digging on it. A few small holes had been dug out, and something had already been stuffed into them.
Yang Guang could tell at a glance that this was installed with electrical detonators and explosives!
He had never worked in a mine before, but he had heard his brother talk about the content of their work in the mine before.
Yang Guang clicked his tongue. “Good heavens, those two fellows last night were quite bold. They actually dared to set off a bomb in the mountain!”
Xu Ling was also dumbfounded and she asked in shock, “With such an explosion, aren’t they afraid of being discovered?”

“According to what I know, there’s a type of low-explosive that doesn’t make too much noise when it’s detonated. They probably used this type of explosive!”
Yang Guang said as he looked down at the holes in the wall. He found that there were still a few holes that hadn’t been completed, but most of the holes had already been installed with explosives.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he couldn’t be bothered to dig any more holes. He thought to himself that if he couldn’t make a big hole, a small hole would be enough. He might as well give it a try!
Following the wires, he quickly found the detonator wrapped in plastic. The thing was hidden in the grass on the side of the mountain wall.
“Come behind me.. Be careful not to let the gravel crush you!” Yang Guang said and lowered his head to fiddle with the detonator!
