Chapter 120 Bandit's Wealth One(2/2)
Based on the old man's narrative, Yang Guang can roughly infer that this bandit den was most active in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, because at that time society began to be chaotic and the government did not have the energy to suppress bandits.
In the late Republic of China, during the Anti-Japanese War, all industries were in decline and commerce came to a standstill, so bandits sometimes kidnapped ordinary people like old men.
Ordinary people naturally don't have much wealth. A sheep or even a basket of eggs can redeem people from bandits.
However, the possibility that there is still treasure is not high, because in the old man's memory, there are no troops marching into the mountains to suppress bandits. After the trade road was idle, the bandits disappeared.
Yang Guang estimated that after liberation, the railway across the Qinling Mountains was built, and without the caravans passing by, the bandits naturally dispersed and went home to be good citizens.
In short, the idea of looking for "Alibaba's treasure" is nothing more than Yang Guang's bad taste.
Since the bandits broke up the gang on their own, they would definitely take away the wealth they had accumulated and take away the loot. Why would they leave it here?
After dinner, Yang Guang wandered around the bandit's "Juyi Hall" and found nothing else except the statue of Guan Gong.
Yang Guang looked at the portrait of Guan Gong and found that the painting was pretty good, with a beautiful beard.
There is just a small poem next to the statue of Guan Gong.
"House seemingly endless rain
May we meet again later in the day?
Looking for the deserted night
Go back home with nothing to gain"
Unexpectedly, there are also literary bandits in the bandit den. It is probably written by someone like the bandit's adviser.
Judging from the content of this little poem, it should be that after liberation, the trade road was idle, and the bandits had nothing to grab, so they had to disperse. On the eve of the disbandment, this literary bandit was reluctant to give up, so he wrote this little poem.
But the writing is really not that good, not a single sentence is original, it was all plagiarized from other poems.
Yang Guang recited this crooked poem several times, and the group has dispersed. What are you looking for?
Suddenly Yang Guang's whole body became excited.
This poem hides other meanings.
