Chapter 23: The Tomb in the Ancestral Hall
"Uncle Wei!" I called again, the house was relatively dark, the door was ajar, and I couldn't see anything through the crack in the door.
"Uncle Wei!" I leaned into the door of the ancestral hall and kicked the door open with my foot!
The door was completely open, and I saw Uncle Wei's mobile phone on the floor of the hall!
Only mobile phones no one!
"Uncle Wei!" I suddenly became anxious.
The ancestral hall was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked, a table of eight immortals was overturned on the ground, and several paintings on the wall were torn.
I picked up my phone, and the caller ID was Molly's, and she made a lot of calls.
The light in the ancestral hall was very dark, I got used to it, and then I found a very small side door, along the side door out is a corridor, along the corridor to the end is a wooden door, I stretched out my hand to open the door, the door is a courtyard, there is a bluestone pile in the courtyard, I saw a familiar figure lying next to the bluestone pile.
"Uncle Wei!" I screamed and ran forward.
Uncle Wei's eyes were tightly closed, his face was as white as paper, I reached out and touched it, and I was still breathing!
I breathed a sigh of relief that I was still alive if I didn't die.
That's when I noticed the situation in the yard.
The yard is very small, overgrown with weeds, only this one is a bluestone pile, there is a hole in the bluestone pile, very new, as if it has just been opened, I suddenly realized that this should be the tomb of those tomb robbers!
I looked around, and there was also a hole in the wall in the corner of the courtyard, and it was likely that several tomb robbers had entered the courtyard from here.
"Uncle Wei, you hold on. I didn't care about looking too much, I struggled to hold up Uncle Wei, the most important thing at the moment was to bring Uncle Wei back to the boat, and other things could only be talked about later.
My hand was inserted into Uncle Wei's armpit, and as soon as I exerted my strength, I suddenly felt a tingling pain!
"Shhhh
There was a big fly on my palm, bigger than a normal fly, gray, and I shook my hand, and it fell to the ground, and I stepped on it again!
"Damn!" I shook my hand, and just wanted to carry Uncle Wei again, when I suddenly felt like the world was spinning!
"Boom!" and I fell headlong to the ground.
I don't know how long it took, I woke up leisurely, and found that I was still lying in the yard, with no strength left, I barely stood up, Uncle Wei lay beside me, I struggled to pick up Uncle Wei and leaned against the bluestone pile, and then took out my mobile phone and dialed Molly.
"Uncle Wei!" Molly's voice came as soon as the phone rang.
"It's me. I gasped.
"Where are you!" Molly's voice was anxious.
"It's still on the island, Uncle Wei fainted, I have no strength, I may have to slow down for a while, you wait, I will definitely take Uncle Wei back." I said.
"Anton, are you alright?" asked Molly.
"I'm fine, don't worry, just wait. With that, I hung up.
I'm definitely not in a state where I can carry Uncle Wei to the boat, and it's getting dark, so it's likely that we'll have to spend the night here, which is the worst case scenario I estimate.
I checked again, Uncle Wei's breathing was even, his face looked much better, and he seemed to be slowly recovering.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
I slowly regained some of my strength, so I looked into the bluestone tomb, there was very little space in the tomb, only a sarcophagus, the coffin lid was pushed to the side, and there was nothing else in the sarcophagus tomb.
What did those thieves steal? I couldn't help but be curious.
After hesitating for a long time, I still couldn't hold back, and I leaned over and went into the tomb!
There was a terrible smell in the tomb, I couldn't describe it, I used my mobile phone to look inside the sarcophagus, there were some rotten rags in the sarcophagus, and a layer of black sludge-like things, in the corner of the sarcophagus I found a large dried corpse of a bug, the worm was about the length of one of my palms, only a piece of skin remained, and I couldn't tell what the bug was, and nothing else was found.
Coming out of the tomb, I was pleasantly surprised to see Uncle Wei's eyes open!
"Uncle Wei. "I couldn't be happier.
"You're here anyway. Uncle Wei said weakly.
"Uncle Wei, you're scared me to death. I sighed.
"We can't stay here, we have to leave. Uncle Wei struggled.
"Uncle Wei, don't worry, I'll take you away in a while. "I hurriedly held down Uncle Wei.
"Did you kill that gadfly?" suddenly Uncle Wei asked, pointing to the corpse of the big fly on the ground.
"Well, you just stabbed me, is this a gadfly?" I wondered.
"Don't you know gadfly?" said Uncle Wei laughed.
"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. I laughed too.
"It stung you, and then?" Uncle Wei asked again.
"Then......" I was stunned for a moment, "and then I fainted...... "I always thought that the fainting just now was due to my illness again, but obviously Uncle Wei had another meaning in his words.
"The disease on this island is spread by gadfly. Sure enough, Uncle Wei followed.
"What!" I was shocked.
"We've got to get out of here at once, it's getting dark, and I guess the gadfly will be over in a moment. Uncle Wei struggled to his feet.
Uncle Wei said that I didn't dare to hold it up, I quickly supported Uncle Wei, and then the two of them walked out of the courtyard, we walked out of the ancestral hall, and then walked out of the village along the way we came, and when I passed by the dog corpse, Uncle Wei asked briefly.
"If you don't come, you won't be obedient. Uncle Wei complained, but his eyes were full of relief.
Uncle Wei and I finally got back to the boat before it got completely dark, and when I got on the boat I immediately called Molly again, and I told her that Uncle Wei and I were safe, but that we were going to spend the night on the boat and row back after dawn.
"Xiao An, let me see your hands. "When I finished calling, Uncle Wei grabbed my arm.
Uncle Wei looked very carefully at the hand I had been bitten by the gadfly, and looked at it over and over for a long time, but there was only a small red dot on my hand, and I didn't feel any discomfort.
"Look at me. After reading my hand, Uncle Wei smiled bitterly and got up his sleeves late.
"Ahh
"I've been touching the things on this island for a long time, but some of the details are not clear. Uncle Wei said leisurely.
"Really, is Boss Mo's illness the same as on the island?" I asked hurriedly.
"Almost, I was still thinking about how to help Lao Mo detoxify, but now with you, it's even more fine. Uncle Wei suddenly smiled.
"Me?" I froze.
"I've been on this island for a long time and I've figured out some things, do you want to know?" Uncle Wei suddenly changed the subject.
I have long been accustomed to Uncle Wei's jumping style, so I nodded: "Of course." ”
"The key is in that tomb, the owner of that tomb. Uncle Wei suddenly smiled mysteriously.
