When she came back from the bath, there was already a steaming bowl of mutton soup on the stove, and Qiu Yan took out two pancakes from the stove.

"Come on, eat, mutton cake!" Qiu Yan said with a grin.

At this time, there was only one table of poker players in the tent, and the others were outside, Qiu Yan watched me eat while softly asking about yesterday's situation repeatedly, and I also impatiently told her that the two of us were like students who didn't listen to lectures in class when we were children, changing our ears from time to time, covering our mouths and snickering from time to time.

Just as Qiu Yan and I were chatting happily, two people opened the tent curtain and walked in, originally I didn't pay much attention to these two people, who knew that as soon as they came in, they stood still by the stove, it seemed that they were coming for me and Qiu Yan.

I looked up and saw that one of these two people was the one who had been dragged out, and the other was the one who had been trapped and had escaped with me.

"That, Brother He, we are here to thank you, we were down there yesterday, it's really thanks to you, otherwise neither of us would have been able to come out." One of them, dressed in a military coat with his hands in his sleeves, said that he was the last man to escape with me.

Before I could reply, another person continued: "At that time, I thought I was dead, and I thought that no one would have taken the risk to save me, if it weren't for Brother He, I~~~" This person was also wearing a military coat, but the coat was wrapped in bandages, and he was still limping when he walked, and it was obvious that he was the one who was lying unconscious on the ground when I rescued him.

I motioned for them to sit down, and just as I was about to say a few words, the tent curtain was lifted again, and this time, four or five people, two of whom I had rescued later, came in, and as soon as they came in, they gathered around me, chattering and thanking me in various ways.

I was so noisy by them that I asked them all to sit down, and then said: "Brothers, I have received your wishes, in the final analysis, I am the leader of this operation, since Old Man Chen has handed you over to me, I have the responsibility to bring you all back alive, it's not a big deal!" ”

"You can't say that," said one of them, "we people have an agreement with Chen Lao first, we have agreed that if we die outside, our family will get a large sum of money, which means that we people are used to sacrifice, Chen Lao can decide to give up saving us at any time and under any circumstances, and they will not take such a big risk for us like you." ”

"But you can choose not to follow them, I don't believe that if you don't want to, they can force you!" Qiu Yan said with a hint of anger in her tone.

"Hehe, sister, of course they can't force us, although they are in a high position, if we really don't want to, they can't do anything with us, in the final analysis, it's not a money word, you may not know, follow them for a month, can cover my salary for a year."

"This~~ Isn't this exchanging your life for money? Your lives are so worthless? If you die, will the money fill the void in your family's hearts? Qiu Yan asked angrily.

Qiu Yan's words made the people present speechless, and finally, after these people bowed their heads and thanked me again, they withdrew from the tent.

After those people left, I saw that Qiu Yan seemed to be still angry, so I smiled and said, "What, I can't be angry, can I do it?!" ”

"These people don't take their families seriously, and they don't want to think about it, if they die, then their children will never have a father, can this lack be covered with money?"

I was stunned after hearing this, Qiu Yan was moved, I am afraid that the words and deeds of these people made her think of her father, no wonder she was so excited.

"Qiu Yan," I persuaded, "Speaking of which, you are rich for three generations, and you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation since birth, so you can't understand the difficulties of the people of Limin, there is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, money is a person's dignity, the quality of life of a family, and it is also the life of a person after they are old, haven't you heard, money is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible." ”

"Oh, I know, our family is rich, but don't treat me as the kind of lady who doesn't know the suffering of the world, I know that it is not easy for them to make money, but no matter how difficult it is, they can't exchange their lives for money."

"Hehe, I mean we should understand their original intentions, but it doesn't mean that we approve of their actions, okay, there are thousands of people with strange ideas in this world, we can't ask them to think the same way as us, otherwise, we must not be angry to death, don't be angry."

Qiu Yan smiled after hearing this, looked at me and said, "You're right, our own lives are hard to protect, why are you worrying about others!" Do you still eat it? I'll help you fill another bowl. After speaking, Qiu Yan took the empty bowl and helped me serve mutton soup.

As soon as I was halfway through the second bowl of mutton soup, I heard a commotion outside, and from the noisy sound, I vaguely heard Chen Fangyuan's voice, it seemed that they had come out of the ground.

I hurriedly drank the rest of the soup in the bowl in two sips, then got up and opened the curtain, just in time to see six old men dressed in mud walking towards me, led by Chen Fangyuan.

Chen Fangyuan was very happy to see me, he took off his jumpsuit at the door of the tent, and then walked into the tent with my shoulder.

"He boy, wake up, how is it, have you rested?" Chen Fangyuan asked with a smile.

I took his hand away and calmly replied, "I can't die!" ”

The other five old men also rushed in one by one after taking off their jumpsuits, and the strange thing was that they were much more polite when they saw me this time, Mr. Bi and Professor Ouyang patted me on the shoulder, and the one surnamed Li smiled at me, and even Luo Laodao and Guo Laotou, who had been unable to get along with me, nodded to me, I thought it was probably because of last night's conversation.

As soon as the six old men entered the tent, they first roasted the fire around the stove for a while, and the poker players at the table immediately left when they saw this, and Chen Fangyuan motioned for Qiu Yan and me to sit down as well.

"He boy, a few of us went down to see it just now, the sixteen zombies are still there, it seems that there is no danger for the time being, but we tried to find the mechanism, but it still didn't work, you see if your body matters, if it doesn't matter, I think let's go down tomorrow to have a look, what do you say?"

"I'm fine, the question is you, go down for three days in a row, can you stand it?"

Chen Fangyuan glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Hehe, you have done the most tiring work, although a few of us are a little old, we can't hold you back, don't worry, we have no problem." ”

"Okay, let's go down tomorrow."

Who knew that Qiu Yan would quit this time, she slapped the table and stood up, and said solemnly: "I will also go down this time." ”

Qiu Yan's words startled me, and I quickly pulled her to sit down.

"What are you kidding, there's muddy water down there, and those zombies, who knows when they'll come back to life, don't go down!"

"No, I have to go down, I have to watch you, lest you do stupid things again, besides, it's not like I haven't gone down, I know what happens next."

"Qiu Yan~~~"

"Okay, don't say anything, or you don't go down, anyway, if you go down, I have to go down." After speaking, Qiu Yan sat down, with an expression that couldn't change her mind, extremely firm.

I was at a loss, Chen Fangyuan patted my arm, "He boy, let her go down, Miss Qiu is very courageous, and her skills are not bad, much better than a few of us bad old men, you also have more helpers when she goes down, besides, we have seen a few of us, and there should be no danger in the future." ”

To be honest, if Qiu Yan can be obedient, she is indeed a good helper, but she will not listen to me at critical moments, and she always likes to go against me, which was the case before, and will definitely be the same in the future.

But I also knew that she would never be willing to sit back and watch, and she would not be able to stand it if she didn't do something and share something for me, so no matter what I decided, she would definitely go down.

In desperation, I had no choice but to nod my head in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Fangyuan patted the table and said, "Okay, it's decided, leave two people outside to watch the camp, and the rest go down." Okay, let's analyze the situation in the tomb. ”

Chen Fangyuan described the underground from a "hall" to a "tomb", indicating that their consciousness has changed, and now, they no longer regard the space below as a threat, but only a tomb that they can explore.

"Now that the zombies below have been subdued, the next thing is to find the mechanism behind the door, of course, if there is no mechanism, it is best to find the tortoise shell directly, everyone can tell their thoughts!"

After Chen Fangyuan finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment, and then Luo Laodao first said: "I still insist on the idea of starting, I have to figure out the formation of those zombies first, I always feel that the gossip hall and the star map are not placed there casually, there must be some kind of mystery in it, maybe it will lead to the mechanism behind the door." ”

"That's right," Old Man Guo continued, "I agree with Lao Luo, the owner of the tomb has put such a big one, it is not just about manipulating a few zombies, this gossip astrology must have a mystery." ”

After Old Man Guo finished speaking, the scene was silent for a while, and then Professor Ouyang spoke: "Lao Luo, I don't disagree with your opinion, I think we must first figure out our purpose, we are not here for this tomb this time, my purpose is very simple, that is, to find the tortoise shell, so should we first figure out Batumu's thoughts and see where he will hide the tortoise shell at that time." Of course, it is also necessary to find out about this tomb, because it is likely that Batumu knew this tomb well, and perhaps he hid the tortoise shell according to the rules of this tomb. ”

As soon as Professor Ouyang's words fell, Lao Li, the Tufuzi who was sitting opposite me, also spoke, "If you want me to say, just like Brother Xiao He said, let's think things are too complicated, we have so many people now, and we also have tools, it is better to dig the bottom down honestly, and then there will be tortoiseshell weapons!" ”

"I said Lao Li, are you afraid that others won't know if you are a Tufuzi or what, a zongzi on the left and a Mingqi on the right, I will say that you, a tomb robber, can't get on the stage, and you still don't admit it!" Old man Guo teased.

Lao Li was immediately furious after hearing this, slapped the table and stood up and said, "Can't get on the table?" If you can't get on the stage, don't follow Lao Tzu! Hmph, if it weren't for Lao Tzu, would you be able to find here? Lao Tzu told you about the nebula and the acupoint, do you understand you! ”

"Cut, if you still say it so loudly for digging people's ancestral graves, you are not afraid of retribution!"

"That's it!" Chen Fangyuan shouted angrily, interrupting their conversation, and also startled me, I have never seen this old man powerful, not to mention, he is so angry, he really looks a little high-powered.

"He boy, you can also talk about it." Chen Fangyuan pointed at me after drinking and said.
