Chapter 1181: Sudden flash flood
The rain hitting the car made a crackling sound, which also made the people inside feel very uncomfortable.
Lao Hei actually told everyone a ghost story at this time, and it was quite interesting.
Xu Ning was scared to death, and others also felt a little creepy.
Lin Ran didn't stop him, he just pulled up the quilt beside him and slept to replenish his energy.
The next morning, when I woke up, the rain had stopped.
Their wheels were stuck in the dirt, branches were scattered everywhere, and it was a mess.
Amin drove the car to a relatively dry location and then pulled up the rainproof tarp on it.
If a car is struck by lightning, the most dangerous thing is that it will ignite the fuel tank and cause an explosion.
The protection measures of this era were not as complete as those of later generations of cars.
Lin Ran set up a small lightning rod with a metal bracket nearby.
They are going to the ancient tomb, and they will definitely not be able to come back for a while. It is very important to take protective measures.
Time was in a hurry, and he wanted to find the entrance to the ancient tomb as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if there is another heavy rain, they will become drowned rats.
He opened the map given to him by the village chief. The location of the ancient tomb was near the river not far away.
After walking along the mountain road for a while, I saw the river marked on the map.
The address of the ancient tomb is just upstream of the river, about twenty kilometers away from their current location.
The mountain road was very muddy and it had rained heavily, so it was inconvenient to drive there, so we had to walk.
"Who is Wang Shixian?" Wang Jinpeng was too bored on the road, so he took the initiative to raise the topic.
Wang Shixian, born in 1195 and died in 1243, experienced two dynasties.
He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and served as an official in the Jin Kingdom for generations. He fought bravely and made many military exploits. He was granted the title of Convoy Convoy by the Jin Kingdom.
He was stationed in the Jin Kingdom town near Shaanxi.
In the last years of the Jin Dynasty, due to continuous wars, the people were severely taxed, and the army was short of supplies, leaving loopholes in military pay.
In order to stabilize the morale of the military, Wang Shixian took the initiative to use his family wealth to supplement military needs.
This move was supported by soldiers and people.
"He's not bad." Wang Jinpeng nodded and praised.
Compared with other Jin Kingdom commanders, Wang Shixian is indeed more benevolent and righteous.
In 1234, Wang Shixian, who was assisting Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu at that time, learned that Niange Wanchen had the ambition to rebel and gain power, and immediately sent people to detain his deceased.
Niange Wanchen was furious and sent troops to attack Huizhou.
At that time, Niange Wanchen had already grasped the advantage and sent an envoy to tell Wang Shixian that as long as he cooperated with him to successfully usurp the throne, he would become the border general in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shixian learned that he was attacking Huizhou, so he took the opportunity to send troops to attack Niange Wanchen.
"You commander-in-chief wants to betray the country and let you do whatever you want, why should you touch me?"
Wang Shixian led his army to personally conquer Niange Wanchen and beheaded him on the city wall, thus establishing his family's status in the Kingdom of Jin.
Later, Wang Shixian also became the last force of the Jin Kingdom to fight against the Mongolian army.
In the end, he was still defeated and fought to the death.
He was appreciated by the Mongolian prince and publicly promised that as long as he surrendered, he would not harm the people in the city at all.
In this case, Wang Shixian defected to Mongolia.
His benevolence, righteousness and ability were appreciated by the second prince Kuoduan, who not only granted him an old official position, but also personally gave him brocade clothes and gold talismans to ensure his family's status in the region.
Their family has been serving the Mongols since then, and finally continued to decline until the Ming Dynasty.
In troubled times, a warlord could help his family span three dynasties. Wang Shixian's vision was extraordinary.
While they were chatting, they had already walked about ten kilometers along the river.
It's not easy to keep your bearings on the mountain. Without this map, it's not easy to find the location of the ancient tomb on the mountain.
First of all, the temperature difference on the mountain is huge and it is extremely muddy. After rain, it is difficult to preserve the footprints.
I originally thought that there were many people on the other side, and walking near the river would definitely leave footprints.
But I was disappointed. After searching for a whole day, I couldn't find any traces left by anyone.
"Boss, will you be okay?" Wang Jinpeng was still asking about Wang Shixian, but now, seeing Lin Ran's serious expression, considering that they had been gone for two hours, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Brother Liu and Brother Huang should be fine." Lin Ran didn't know why the Treasure Hunt Club abducted Liu Jingfeng and Huang Hao.
But they had been gone for half a month.
It is even more difficult to keep up with them.
The mountain roads are rugged, and most of the roads are made by people and are not paved with asphalt roads like in cities.
There isn't even a decent stone road, and no means of transportation can even get in from here.
Unless it's an ox cart or a mule.
It is precisely because of its remoteness that the ancient tomb has been relatively completely preserved.
If it was on a good road, people coming over would probably have to pluck the wool from the ancient tomb.
After four hours of trekking, they finally arrived at the marked spot.
But before heading to the location, Lin Ran asked everyone to change into mouse clothes.
It's still not sure whether the people in the treasure hunting party are in danger, or whether they are ambushed here.
When they go to the grave, there will be people watching outside.
Not everyone will enter the tomb. After all, there will be local masters from other factions outside, or local tomb guards, who will not just watch others remove the treasures from their eyes.
Everyone also accepted Lin Ran's suggestion and exchanged their clothes for mouse clothes.
As for his clothes, Lin Ran asked everyone to put them in a backpack and hide them in a tree hole.
To enter the ancient tomb, you must travel lightly.
Wash it again when you come out. It's summer anyway and the clothes will dry quickly.
Everyone did as they were told, dressed neatly and carrying backpacks. They slowed down and quietly approached the marked location.
Just when we were about to reach our destination, suddenly a piece of gravel fell from the mountain in the distance.
Then... the whole river became very fast.
A thought flashed through Lin Ran's mind: "No, it's a flash flood!"
After this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately asked others to run aside after him.
But the flash flood came in an instant, and they had no time to escape before they were swept in by the river.
In the river, I choked on water several times in a row.
But he also did not forget to direct the people next to him: "Everyone try to grab the wood and stones next to you, don't be washed away!"
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning are not bad, their physical fitness is there.
But A Ming, who was relatively weak, had already fainted.
Fortunately, he was walking in front, and just when he was about to be washed away by the river, Lin Ran grabbed his right hand.
Lin Ran was currently relying on a big tree as a cover, otherwise his body would not be able to withstand the impact of the river at all.
Even at this juncture, he never thought of giving up on A Ming.
