Chapter 424: Engagement
"You're starting to fantasize again," Yuhe nudged Mu Chen lightly, "I just talked casually, you actually took it seriously, okay, just wait for the three of them experts to study inside, it's good for the two of us to talk outside." ”
"Yes," Mu Chen sat on the ground, "Actually, I had a lot to say to you last night, but now you fell asleep in an instant, so I didn't wake you up, but just sent you back to the tent." ”
Yuhe smiled when he heard this: "Actually, I have a lot of things to say to you, since the time is right here, let's talk." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, chatting eagerly like friends they hadn't seen for many years, and the three experts were also sweating profusely in the ancient tomb studying Mu Chen's paintings—of course, they were not studying the paintings themselves, but studying the content of the paintings, because these paintings were made by Mu Chen with his mysterious and unpredictable ability to detect, although it was only recorded in a notebook, but in the eyes of the three experts, this notebook was more precious than any cultural relics at this time.
The two had been chatting for more than two hours, and it was already noon, and when they walked into the tomb, they didn't expect that the three experts were still studying something very seriously, and the two were inconvenient to interrupt, so they had to go back to the camp and get some water and dry food.
When Mu Chen sent the water and dry food in, the three experts took it without raising their heads and discussed fiercely while gnawing, Mu Chen listened to it with great interest for a long time, but he couldn't understand a word now, so he had to give up.
Back outside, Yuhe said to Mu Chen: "I took a turn here just now, and now there are many people guarding here, in fact, there is no need for the two of us to sit here all the time, we can go around in four circles, think about it, this is an oasis in the desert, maybe there are some magical animals and plants in it, so we can go and see, and come back when it gets dark!"
"Why wait until it's dark to come over?" Mu Chen was puzzled.
Yuhe explained: " I've already asked them about the people here just now, they have more than ten people on duty during the day, but half of the people will be withdrawn at night, so the security force at night is very weak, if there are people who are interested in a sneak attack at night, it is easy to succeed, I see that these three experts can't come out for a while, so we just need to rush back here before the night, today I have made an agreement with Lao Ma and them, no matter how they want to study, they must come out of the ancient tomb before 9 o'clock in the evening, this is our agreement!"
Mu Chen listened to Yuhe's words, nodded and said, "Your arrangement is very reasonable, then let's take advantage of the time to go around now, and come back in the evening in a while." ”
The two of them took a turn in the oasis, and now the environment here is indeed very different from the forest they usually see, Mu Chen and Yuhe are even more in the oasis with species that they have never seen before, at this moment, Mu Chen finally forgot his troubles and entered the state of travel.
However, this state did not last long, and when he was still in high spirits, Yuhe interrupted him and said: "I see that the time is almost up, let's hurry back to the camp, have lunch, and go to guard them outside the ancient tomb." ”
The two of them hurriedly ate in the camp, and immediately rushed to the ancient tomb, Mu Chenxian's three old experts were completely in a state of work, and they were not interested in the food he sent at all, the two had no choice but to sit outside the ancient tomb by snuggling up to each other, and met the protectors of the three old experts.
At this time, the sun has completely set, and the sky full of stars has reappeared.
However, just as Mu Chen and Yuhe were leaning against each other and looking at the stars in the sky, there was a sudden piercing sound in the silent forest!
This sudden rush startled Mu Chen, and Yu He on the side directly pushed Mu Chen away out of professional instinct, and easily pulled out the hand pinned to his waist.
"You go in and protect the three old experts, I'll go and see what's going on!"
Yuhe's words were undoubted, and Mu Chen also knew that there was no room for negotiation at this moment, because none of them knew what the situation was now, so the best way was to retreat into the tomb, no matter how many people rushed in from outside, the space of the tomb was narrow, and it was more convenient to move around.
Yuhe grabbed it with both hands, and slowly touched it towards the place where the robbery sounded, Mu Chen watched Yuhe disappear at the end of his sight, and immediately turned around and ran into the tomb.
Ran into the tomb and saw that the three old experts were still gathered together to study, Mu Chen hurriedly ran over and patted the old horse's shoulder and said, "There is something wrong outside the old horse, haven't you heard?"
The old horse turned his head and looked at Mu Chen inexplicably: "What's wrong? Even the big things are not as important as we are now! We are about to come to the most critical conclusion!"
"This is really more important than you are now!" Mu Chen couldn't help but snatch the notebook from the old horse's hand, "If you don't even have your life, how can you get out of the critical stage?"
Seeing that the book was robbed, another old expert realized the seriousness of the situation, and he immediately asked Mu Chen: "What the hell is going on, what happened outside?"
Mu Chen said in the simplest words: "Just now I was guarding outside with Yuhe, and suddenly there was a rush from the woods, and then I heard that there was chaos in the camp, Yuhe asked me to come in to protect the three of you, and she went to check the situation in the woods!"
When the old horse heard this, he immediately became anxious: "You mean that there was a rush in the woods just now, which means that someone from outside broke in?"
Mu Chen nodded noncommittally: "I don't know what the situation is now, in short, we definitely can't leave the ancient tomb rashly, and if I'm not mistaken, no matter what kind of people break in, their purpose should be this secret room!"
"Yes, it must be so," the old horse nodded heavily, "Since we have no way to retreat now, then we should simply retreat to the secret room!
"That's right!" the other two old experts also said in unison, "I don't believe that these tomb robbers have turned against them!"
Hearing this, Mu Chen was instantly impressed by the other two old experts, but he didn't expect that when he was in the secret room before, one of the old experts was still so afraid of death, but at this moment, facing the tomb robbery gang that was very likely to be running for the treasure in the secret room, this old expert showed an attitude of treating death as home, which really surprised Mu Chen, but he was not afraid of death or death, these three old experts were so old after all, if the thugs really rushed in, how could the three of them be opponents?
Mu Chen thought about it and had an idea, and he said to Lao Ma: "Since we can only stay in the tomb, then I think we should try to avoid a head-on conflict with the tomb robbers - if they really break through the defense line and rush into the tomb, I think I should have a way to solve them!"
"Then what do you mean?" the old horse looked at Mu Chen puzzled, "Let's hide, I won't be a turtle with a shrunken head, I must swear to protect the cultural relics!"
