Chapter 164: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
"Of course we remember it, but the legend is too sensational, we can't go straight into it, and sometimes we have to make a proper detour. Cao Huaqing sighed. Obviously, this is their family's tomb, but he has to come here secretly like a thief, and he doesn't dare to publicize it.
Not only that, but also affected his brother Huang Youhua, who he had always trusted, forcing him to live in an ordinary hotel and being angry with the hotel manager.
"It's almost time now, and it's time to go. We can't lose our jobs at home. Huang Youhua was exhausted by the night, and only hoped to end this "trip" as soon as possible.
They chatted enthusiastically about the tomb, and Xu Le, who had half a tailwind, noticed a light footstep at the door.
There must be someone out there, maybe eavesdropping!
And the soundproofing effect of this room is not strong, and sometimes, he can hear the lingering sound of the couple next door.
"Shhhh
"Big brother, where do you say we're going to play tomorrow, I want to go out and play. At this time, Xiao Ming's immature voice reached Xu Le's ears.
He was lying on Xu Le's bed, stood up and put his arm around Xu Le's elbow.
With big eyes and a slightly raised mouth, he is as innocent as a newborn baby. But Xu Le knows that Xiao Ming is far from being that simple.
"What are you playing? I said, Xu Le, you don't need to bring a child. Huang Youhua was quite impatient.
He has never liked children very much, so he is not in a hurry to let Huang Mengjie go on a blind date, and he will need to take the child when the time comes.
Although this child's eyes are different, he does look different from ordinary people. But at present, this child is powerful, he really doesn't see it.
"Wait, Uncle Huang, he'll surprise you. Although he didn't know the limits of Xiao Ming's abilities. But the only one who can make the galaxy system collapse is Xiao Ming.
He even suspected that Xiao Ming had any potential connection with this galactic system.
"I wish there was a day. Huang Youhua was embarrassed to argue with Xu Le for a child, so he casually perfunctory.
In the early morning, before dawn, layers of fog crept in front of me, blurring the vision.
"Let's go now. It's early in the morning, there are few people, and it's safe. Huang Youhua originally wanted to invite a few bodyguards, but this kind of treasure hunting, the fewer people know, the better, and no one can tell what human nature is.
They took a few bottles of water, binoculars, flashlights, magnifying glasses, and survival tools, and carried their bags up the mountain.
The road is quite wide, large and wide, and it is more than enough for three people to be side by side.
"I really didn't expect that your Cao family's tomb is so complicated, Xiaoshan also has it, and Hengshan also has it. Huang Youhua rarely exercises, and his only exercise is to play golf with his business partners when he talks about business.
"This is also the wisdom of our ancestors. It's just that this time the tomb may not be so simple. Cao Huaqing had a hunch that he would go through a lot of things before he could get the so-called treasures.
"Yes, it will definitely not be simple, your Cao family is a well-known family of collecting antiques. Huang Youhua teased. The reason why he was interested in antiques was also influenced by Cao Huaqing.
They are old, and of course crawling slowly. Xu Le was not in a hurry, holding Xiao Ming's hand and enjoying the scenery along the way. By the way, he glanced around, and for some reason, he always felt that there were people around him. Looking at it, it was empty, as if he had committed a suspicious crime.
Just as the four of them had climbed a small hill, a snake appeared out of nowhere, all golden, spitting snake letters, as if hungry for a long time, looking at them with predatory eyes.
"Oh my God, there are snakes!" Cao Huaqing was old after all, and he was especially afraid of these things, he was so frightened that he hugged Xu Le tightly, his mouth was wide open, and he was almost out of breath because of fear.
Huang Youhua was even more frightened and panicked, because he was too afraid, he couldn't move, he stood in place, and couldn't even speak.
Xu Le looked at the snake that was gradually twisting towards them, and he was also frightened, and kept asking Xiao Ai, but unfortunately this Xiao Ai seemed to be missing, and he just refused to say anything.
Xu Le gritted his teeth and decided to use his recently superimposed speed and explosive power to fight this golden snake.
The golden snake was getting closer and closer to them, Xiao Ming uncharacteristically shook off Xu Le's hand and walked towards the golden snake, his round and big eyes staring at the golden snake.
The sun suddenly lifted the layers of silver-gray clouds, revealing its entity, and the light slowly shone on the earth.
The sparse leaves block some of the sunlight, and the other part of the golden light passes through the gaps in the leaves, brightening the path inch by inch. The cool wind blew, the leaves stumbled to the side, and a light fell directly in Xiao Ming's eyes, mixed with golden pupils, emitting a brilliant brilliance.
The golden snake suddenly stopped its pace and no longer writhed forward, it slowly raised its body and stared at Xiao Ming.
After going on like this for a minute, the golden snake suddenly fainted to the ground, as if asleep.
"What's going on?" Cao Huaqing hid behind Xu Le and saw this scene, and couldn't close his mouth in surprise.
I didn't expect a child to have such a big momentum that he could make the snake bow down.
"Amazing!" Huang Youhua got out from behind a big rock and hugged Xiao Ming, but he pushed him away.
Huang Youhua smiled awkwardly, of course he was not satisfied with the child's behavior, but how to say that it was the child who saved them, if he was too indifferent, it seemed that he was an adult who cared about the child.
"Xiao Ming, did I tell you that you can't use pupil power. You should know that your body can't handle it anymore. Xu Le was not happy, he also measured Xiao Ming's pulse a few days ago, and his breath was unstable, probably because of his pupil strength. If it is not blocked in time, I am afraid that it will cause a more serious burden on the body.
"Big brother, don't blame me, I'm also for our good, can't the four of us be bitten to death by snakes. Xiao Ming looked at Xu Le with a little grievance.
Since Xu Le saved him, he has been obedient to Xu Le and responds to his requests.
Xu Le looked at the sadness that flashed on Xiao Ming's face, and couldn't bear it, so he pulled the tip of Xiao Ming's nose, "I'll forget it this time, but not next time." ”
Xiao Ming didn't say anything, but the gloom on his face was swept away, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"It seems that you have brought it right!" Huang Youhua sighed, "Yesterday I couldn't believe that a child could help us, but now it seems that I am too superficial." ”
Xu Le laughed for a while, but did not say anything. He looked back at the motionless snake and felt that things were not so simple.
A few steps ahead, there is a pavilion, imitating the style of the Song Dynasty, surrounded by trees, and the lush leaves are rustling with the wind.
"Let's sit and rest for a while. After all, Cao Huaqing was old, and he inevitably felt tired, so he gasped and sat on the bench.
"I'm so tired, this tomb is really, why don't you just put it in a safe place, you have to let people run so far, are we staging a suspense novel of Edogawa Ranbu now?" Huang Youhua couldn't help it, and kept chattering.
In addition to talking about business, when has he ever suffered like this!
"I don't know what they think, otherwise, I wouldn't have run over so hard, but directly let Cao Xiao come over. Cao Huaqing waved his hand and held his chest.
They began to discuss the possibilities of the tomb, and they had hope in their hearts, which seemed to bring strength to support their physical strength and prepare them to move on.
Xu Le walked on the road, feeling more and more that something was wrong. As for where it is, I can't say it, and the whole person is anxious like a grumpy lion.
"What's wrong? Cao Huaqing noticed that the mental state of the house was not right, and asked with concern.
"Nothing. Maybe I'm a little tired. Xu Le didn't plan to tell him about his worries, Cao Huaqing. Otherwise, Cao Huaqing will shout again, and even more startle the snake.
"The air here is actually quite fresh..."Huang Youhua greedily inhaled the fresh air and couldn't help but praise.
He used to travel, always going to the capitals of various countries. Although the atmosphere is luxurious, the air is indeed very polluted. Not long after coming home, I always need to catch a cold.
"Yes, the air here is really fresh. Cao Huaqing nodded and glanced at Xu Le behind him, "What are you doing?
Seeing this, Xu Le hurriedly took Xiao Ming's hand and walked forward quickly. Unexpectedly, before they walked ten steps away, the three of them stepped directly into the air and fell. Fortunately, the hole is not deep enough to cripple people, but the walls are smooth, and there is no way to climb up.
"What's going on? Did we fall into the hunter's pit?" Huang Youhua looked around and shouted, "Is there someone, we are people, not animals!
Even if a rich person is in danger, there is still a sense of condescension in the tone of his voice.
"I guess it wasn't the hunters, but from the very beginning, we were targeted. Xu Lejian has already been tricked, and it doesn't matter if he hides it or not.
"What do you mean? We are all so low-key, and after playing for so many days, we will also be targeted?" Huang Youhua didn't quite believe it. Before leaving home, he specially instructed his secretary to help him keep an eye on whether there were any enemies who would come with them. After getting a negative answer, he dared to come to Xiaoshan with them.
"Yes, the person who might have been eyeing us is in the hotel. Anyway, I tend not to be from our province, but from here. Xu Le understood the meaning of Huang Youhua's words and explained his guess. "Last night, I heard footsteps outside the door, just as we were talking. ”
If you guessed correctly, that person was specifically responsible for eavesdropping.
"In that case, why don't you tell us?" Cao Huaqing looked surprised and displeased.
Isn't that watching them jump into the fire pit?
"It's nothing, because there are a lot of people coming and going, and who knows that the footsteps must be eavesdropping on us. The reason why I was suspicious was because of the snake that suddenly appeared just now. Xu Le thought of the snake that appeared out of thin air just now, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
