After that, the conversation between me and Dad Panma lasted for more than three hours. I kept asking questions, trying to find out the secret while understanding what happened.

The content of the conversation was very scattered. Dad spoke and Agui translated, and sometimes they had to explain concepts to each other, which was very time-consuming. Moreover, my father was not very cooperative with my questions. Maybe there was some deviation in Agui's translation. So after the conversation, my mind was completely shattered.

The year Wen Jin and the others entered the mountain was probably 1976. The old man could not tell the time very accurately.

Wen Jin should have been leading the team at that time, but when I showed my dad the photo of Xisha, he couldn't distinguish the others. It took too long and there were too many people. In that environment, everyone had the same hairstyle and clothes. He only remembered the only one who led the team, which was very reasonable.

The previous things were unremarkable. At that time, border conflicts were frequent here, and it was very common for troops to appear in the village. You must know that around 1978, the Shangsi area was almost occupied by the People's Liberation Army, and most of the roads in the mountains were dug out during the counterattack against Vietnam. Yes, the troops have to go into the mountains to find guides. That is a military mission.

Panma received the army's allowance. He was still in his prime at the time. When hunting, he went the farthest and deepest by himself, so he was naturally the most suitable candidate to be a guide.

They set off in the early morning of that day. He couldn't ask for more details about the army's mission. He just led the troops to Yangjiao Mountain and then followed the army. His mind was on the road. He didn't go to Yangjiao Mountain much, so he had to ensure that he could return safely.

They walked for a long time, spent a night in the mountains, and came to a lake in the mountains.

Panma had only been to that place once, when he was thirty-one years old. When he married his wife, he wanted to hunt some deer back to invite his uncle. The mountains were not peaceful that year, and all the wild animals hid in the mountains. He led the dog all the way in and found the lake. He lurked by the lake for a day and hunted a wild boar. He never went deep there again.

That kind of lake naturally has no name. Perhaps except for Panma, no one in the village knows there is a lake there. The lake was a dead lake with no streams. He didn't know if it was connected to other places underneath. The troops camped and set up tents on the edge of the lake, and then the task of panning the horses was completed.

Next, he was responsible for delivering some supplies to the troops every few days. The troops themselves had sufficient supplies, so he only brought some rice or salt every time he went into the mountains. The strange thing Agui mentioned happened during one of them. During this time no one knew what the purpose of that unit was stationed there.

Panma was very curious during this process, but he also knew that in those years,

The cost of spying on these things was too high, so he suppressed his curiosity. Later, when the team set off, there were many more boxes, about thirty in total, each about the size of a shoe box. The soldiers brought him out carefully.

He was curious and wanted to take one, but was stopped tactfully by a soldier. The soldier said that the contents of this box were very dangerous. He took a chance and took it. He felt that it was very heavy and he didn't know what it contained.

When I heard this, I probably had some impressions in my mind. This shoebox-sized box is called a storage box, nicknamed an antique box. It is used by archaeological teams to store fragments of unearthed cultural relics. Such boxes are generally strictly numbered, ranging from large to small, but most are the size of a shoe box (unearthed cultural relics are generally heavier, and the weight contained in a shoe box is most suitable for transportation).

Panma was very puzzled because there was nothing special on the edge of the lake. Where did the things in the box come from? His thought at the time was that the box must contain stones, because there was a large stone beach on the edge of the lake with many, many stones.

However, he soon realized something was wrong, because after traveling for a while in the mountains, a strange smell began to emit from the box, which was very unpleasant and indescribable. ④Read on Tianshu Chinese website
