Chapter 64: The Choice (3rd Watch)
Without the tarantula chasing, several people could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Jia Sixian's face was pale with fright before he went down the cave, and he was even more distracted after seeing the tarantula, and he was still beating his chest and muttering to himself.
Zilong looked at the appearance of several people, stood up, and said with a smile: "How does it feel about this toss?" ”
As she spoke, she walked up to Min Ying, who smelled the man's peculiar smell and suddenly found that her heartbeat was even more intense than when she ran for her life.
Secretly stroked his chest, looked at Zilong, who looked a little tall under the firelight, and wanted to say thank you very much, but when the words came to his mouth, it became "Hmph, it's just a small matter, Miss Ben still wants to catch two to raise and play!" ”
Suddenly, she vaguely saw a trace of uneasiness on Zilong's face, her eyes were firmly fixed on her forehead and shoulders, and she said leisurely: "Don't move!" ”
The nerves that had just been relaxed were lifted up again in an instant, and Min Ying watched Zilong stretch out his hand, pointing to his shoulder and unable to speak, feeling as if something was really crawling on his shoulder.
"Ahh
With a scream, Min Ying jumped up, constantly patting her shoulders, and even wanted to tear off her clothes to see what was playing tricks on her again.
However, as soon as he grabbed the placket of his clothes, as long as he used a little force, the thin clothes were about to be torn to shreds, but he found that a pair of big hands were tightly grasping him, and there were trembling sounds.
Is it scary?
For some reason, Min Ying fell silent the moment her big hands grabbed her wrists, as if the wriggling and crawling thing on her shoulders was no longer a threat.
Secretly raised his eyes to take a look, and found that Zilong was grabbing his wrist, looking down and trembling, he couldn't help but wonder: "What the hell is it?" ”
Min Ying's sudden calmness made Zilong stunned, but remembering the way she was dancing just now, Zilong couldn't help but release the laughter that had been held back for a long time after all.
Min Ying heard Zilong's laughter and suddenly realized that she was really being tricked, but it was not something lying on her shoulder that was playing tricks on her, but the stinky thief in front of her!
"Stinky thief, you're teasing me!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to fight, but was blocked by Zilong's hand.
"Okay, I'm just going to see if you really want to catch two and raise them, don't make trouble, let's go!"
Zilong said, letting go of Min Ying's hand, humming a little tune of unknown tune, and walking towards the other three.
Min Ying looked at the stinky thief who succeeded in his treacherous plan and was extremely proud, and wanted to scold in her heart, but found that she couldn't find the feeling of laughing and scolding and acting willfully before, and couldn't help but be stunned.
touched the quilt Zilong and grabbed the wrist that was still warm, snorted, and stomped to catch up.
After a run, the men had rested enough, so they took their torches and continued on their way.
At this time, calm down, a few people have to take a good look at the stone wall of this road, it is easy to find the traces of artificial axe chisels, see that the traces have been covered with moss, everyone knows, this place must have been built for a long time.
Walking down the road, it felt more and more humid, colder, and more and more stuffy, and Zilong could even pinch a handful of water from the moss on the stone wall.
The road is slowly descending, but the slope is very small, and you don't feel much when you walk.
Zilong already had some judgments in his heart, but this was not logical, but all the emperor's tombs should seek a dry place to prevent the air from being humid and the coffin and corpse from decomposing.
And here it is slowly descending, and the more you go underground, the greater the moisture, isn't this the opposite?
There are only two possibilities, either the corridor will go up, or the mausoleum will be built with a waterproof and moisture-proof design.
But with such a large-scale project, before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, could there be enough conditions to achieve such an effect?
The doubts in Zilong's heart gradually increased, his brows were deeply locked, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
Niu Erlang talked a lot, chatting with the frightened Jia Siqian without a match, Niu Erlang had the same suspicion as Zilong, and he didn't say a word.
After walking for a while, several people were a little tired, so Zilong asked everyone to rest first and took out the dried mutton to replenish their strength.
Zilong suddenly smelled a faint fragrance coming from his side, and turned his head to see that Min Ying was sitting down next to him, this eldest lady, wouldn't she be here to find fault again?
Min Ying was actually very frightened at this time, but she didn't make noise as usual along the way, and she was quiet like a lady.
Zilong was preoccupied along the way, so he didn't pay attention to her abnormality.
At this time, several people sat down separately, Min Ying took the initiative to come over, Zilong was still a little uncomfortable for a while, and the two of them were so silent, silent.
Zilong suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this atmosphere, the three of them were together, they didn't know what they were muttering, they laughed out loud from time to time, and they sat with Min Ying, and no one spoke.
I felt more and more that those three must be pointing fingers at me and Min Ying.
"Well, why don't you speak?"
Zilong tried to break the silence first, threw two sentences over, and then turned his head silently and continued to fight with the mutton jerky, but suddenly felt a tremor behind him.
Min Ying trembled, and when she heard Zilong's words, she trembled for no reason, wanting to answer, but she didn't know what to say, and she didn't know what to say.
Not only did this tremble, but Zilong suddenly became nervous, it wouldn't be to provoke this eldest lady again, this is not a fun thing.
"Why don't you speak?"
Min Ying really didn't know what to say, so she had to kick the ball to Zilong again, Zilong was annoyed for a while, but a little relieved, but fortunately, the eldest lady didn't seem to be angry.
But where do you start? Do you ignore her, and then continue to be silent?
"Well, it's very dangerous here, if you let the owner know that you came here with me to take risks, I'm afraid he will be angry."
Zilong's words reminded Min Ying of the doting father, who always praised this stinky thief for no reason, and then made fun of himself, which was the point that made Min Ying angry the most.
"He? Hmph, if he wants to know that I am with you, he must be relieved that it doesn't matter if he has my daughter or not, he will ...... all day long."
As if she suddenly realized that she had slipped her mouth, Min Ying hurriedly stopped talking, if this stinky thief knew that his father valued him so much, this guy's tail would not reach the sky.
But her words have already made Zilong a little confused? Feel relieved? Are you so relieved that it doesn't matter if you have a daughter or not? Where does this ghost logic come from?
"Oh, he's fine!"
Such a conversation with a preface and a later sentence made both of them very embarrassed, but Zilong and Minying seemed to have lost their ability to talk when they were alone, and neither of them knew what to say.
Zilong is afraid that Min Ying will be angry for no reason, so this trip to the emperor's tomb is afraid that he will have to explain it here.
And Min Ying ......
Min Ying herself didn't know why all of a sudden, she became incoherent in front of Zilong.
Now both of them are looking forward to one thing, that is, the three people on the other side stop laughing, and then hurry on.
Fortunately, this initiative is in Zilong's hands.
clapped his hands, stood up, and handed a hand to Min Ying, which made Min Ying stunned, Zilong didn't look at it, and said to himself: "Okay, let's continue!" ”
After speaking, he found that Min Ying didn't seem to be holding his hand, so he couldn't help but wonder, lowered his head, and found that Min Ying was looking at his hand in a daze.
Is there something on hand? Or have you just eaten mutton jerky, and it's a little greasy? The eldest lady is the eldest lady, can't you stand this little greasy?
Thinking about it, he withdrew his hand, smiled, and picked up the torch.
"Get up, let's go!"
Originally, seeing Zilong stretching out his hand to pull herself, Min Ying's heart was like getting into a deer, jumping and jumping, making her pretty face turn red and hot all of a sudden.
However, when Min Ying finally decided to send her hand to Zilong, Zilong took it back, and Min Ying was stunned again, is this stinky thief teasing people? Or did you misunderstand?
A stinky thief is a stinky thief, hateful!
Thinking about it, Min Ying stood up, snorted hatefully, and was about to walk away, who wondered if it was a trip under her feet, or she walked too fast, and she didn't master her balance, Min Ying stumbled and was about to fall.
Zilong saw that Min Ying was about to fall, subconsciously reached out and grabbed Min Ying's slender waist, took advantage of the situation, hugged Min Ying for half a circle, and stood firm again.
Min Ying's hand was on Zilong's chest, and Zilong was tightly hugged in his arms, smelling the familiar smell, Min Ying's face suddenly turned red again.
Fortunately, there was only a glimmer of light on the torch, otherwise Zilong would definitely think that he was hugging a big red apple, and with a dry cough, Min Ying pushed Zilong away and let out a soft sigh.
stepped on the ground twice, and muttered: "Ghost place, what a broken road!" ”
Min Ying muttered and walked forward, Zilong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly caught up with the torch, afraid that she would trip again.
At this time, Jia Siqian leaned over and asked, "Brother Zilong, are you sure this is really the emperor's tomb?" How do I feel that something is not quite right? ”
Zilong also has the same doubts, but no matter what, it has already come down, Zilong is determined to find out, and he even faintly feels that this place, whether it is now or in the future, has a great relationship with him.
So Zilong didn't answer, just walked straight forward, and Jia Siqian saw that Zilong didn't speak, so he followed closely.
Nothing happened along the way, and when the torch burned to the third one, it was the node where everyone agreed to turn back, looking at the torch that burned out immediately, Zilong and the others fell into a tangle.
Without him, because they now saw an upward road, although the slope was steep, but it was passable, and if they followed this trend, it was obviously in line with Zilong's conjecture.
However, if there is no lighting to wait, the way back can be difficult because there are not enough torches.
"Now it's either go back or continue, let's make a democratic choice!"
Zilong looked back at the other four and proposed.
But suddenly saw that the four of them were full of doubts, and looked at themselves in a daze.
Niu Erlang was the first to speak and asked, "Eh, that Zilong brother, what is the choice of democracy?" ”
The other three nodded, and then stared at Zilong intently, waiting for his answer, Zilong felt a chill.
"Is this a problem, democracy him, he is ......"
