Chapter 5: Bats
"Be careful," Pei turned on the flashlight.
It's an empty burial chamber, "Count how many you have left." ”
"We've got thirty-three left."
When everyone looked at me, I was shocked: "You have forgotten, I have nothing." ”
Pei took a few fire folds from someone else and stuffed them into my hand. "It was a mistake for me to bring you here." With that, he tightened the strap of his backpack.
"Let's go!"
After a muffled sound, a brilliant spark exploded in the air, and in an instant, the dark tomb suddenly lit up. However, in a matter of seconds, darkness returned.
What was that just now?
Although the flares were set off for a short time, I'm sure there was something else attached to the wall just now.
"You saw it too." Bae took us to a cramped room.
"That's a bat." Wiping the sweat from his face, "There are so many bats, enough to eat us to the bones." Pei's eyes were glued to the outside.
Li Wen gently pushed Pei: "Go and take a look, there seems to be something there." "I looked in the direction that Li Wen was pointing, and although it was vague, I could vaguely see an outline.
"It's like a coffin."
I stood up and walked over slowly, and Pei followed.
"Hey, see if you can read it." At this point, Pei found that none of them seemed to have asked the name of the newcomer.
"Yang Xiuyuan, my name is Yang Xiuyuan."
Without waiting for Pei Duo to say anything, I leaned over and stared at the surface of the coffin to study. In the darkness, only the breathing of the crowd could be heard.
"There is no mention of who the owner of the tomb is, but it should be from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is estimated that he is still rich."
The sword coin was used during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and during the Spring and Autumn Period, after the social changes in etiquette and happiness, the wind of thick burials began to rise.
"Behold, there is a void outside to confuse the people, and there are many things to accompany the burial inside."
"Li Wen, you come to open the coffin, Xiao Zhang, you take one person out to guard." Pei shone the coffin with a flashlight. Turning his head to me: "You take a flashlight, wait for anything to go wrong when the coffin is opened, and throw this into the coffin." ”
I pulled the thing in my hand and turned it back and forth. "What is this?" Poked in disgust.
"The hooves of the black donkey, a must-have for making a fortune." Li Wen, who was concentrating on prying the coffin, suddenly said this.
Soon the coffin was pried in, and the atmosphere rose to the extreme at one time.
"Pei, the bats are flying towards us!" The voice exploded suddenly, and Pei paused, he took out a fire fold from his side and lit the paper in his hand. And Li Wen and the others sped up the speed in their hands, and I stood stupidly in place, holding a flashlight, at a loss.
"Yang, what is Yang Xiu, the flashlight is straightened! Also, look at the coffin, don't look outside! ”
I hurried over, my hand holding the black donkey's hooves trembling slightly, and the lid of the coffin was quickly opened, but nothing strange happened. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another problem over there.
"Hurry up, don't get out there!" Although Pei knew that nothing in the tomb was very fierce. Unexpectedly, the bats here seemed to have mutated, and their combat effectiveness soared.
Li Wen lay on the coffin, pulling hard inward, trying to pick up more jewelry. "With so much jewelry, take one or two pieces out and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
"You want money and don't want your life, don't you, hurry up!" Pei, who was still resisting the bat, retreated at some point, pulled Li Wen's clothes and ran out.
I followed behind them, holding tightly the fire folds that Pei had just given me. After a few steps, I finally realized that something was wrong.
There was a white fog all around, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"Yang Xiuyuan, you're fucking tight!" Pei turned his head and looked at me with a grumpy face.
When I opened my eyes, I saw red, and when I turned my head, I saw Pei who was pulling Li Wen with an angry face. I was about to make a move, but the pain all over my body stopped me.
They seemed to want to argue, but one of them noticed me who had already opened my eyes.
"Pei, that person is awake!"
I was looking at Pei in a daze, and he seemed to be angry. Pei looked at Li Wen, glared at him, and then pulled me up. He squatted down seriously and looked at me seriously: "Did you touch something inside?" ”
At this time, I haven't reacted yet, and I don't seem to have touched anything but the land since I came in. For a moment, I didn't know how to answer. Isn't it possible for me to use flying? I'm not Superman.
"The black donkey's hooves in your hands." The thing in my hand seems to be darker than when I first started it.
Tall and thin, Li Wen hid in the shadows, his dark pupils shooting out a cold light that I couldn't understand. He stared at me who was being interrogated by Pei, and I stared at him too.
"We're taking him with us, and sooner or later everyone will die!" Seeing the face in front of him, the disgust in Li Wen's heart deepened.
He felt in his pocket and took out a cigarette and lit it. Inhaling carelessly, watching the smoke ring from formation to dissipation.
"If Uncle asks, just say he's dead, after all, in the tomb, any accident can happen at any time."
Shaking his head with a self-deprecating smile, Pei looked at Li Wen and seemed a little puzzled. Throwing down the cigarette butt that was still burning and then stepping on it, he looked at me and stopped talking.
I was a little nervous, I was still afraid that he would abandon me here, probably out of hope for life, I opened my mouth: "I... Just let me follow you, and you don't have to worry about me. ”
Pei didn't speak, just looked at me quietly. The oppressive atmosphere of the scene almost made me breathless, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on my forehead. My breathing seemed to get a little heavier, and for a moment, it was as if all I could hear was my heartbeat.
Sting!
The sound of the cloth tearing was extremely harsh in the silent air, and a shadow crossed in front of him. The next second, I felt like something was being stuffed in my hand.
Reached out and wiped his sweat-soaked eyes.
"Hold on tight, don't let go." As he spoke, he tied a dead knot of cloth strips around his wrists. "Let's go out first today and change our equipment before coming in."
I clutched what I was holding in my hand and followed them, hunched over to get through the half-man-high hole.
In the dark and damp thief cave, Li Wen stared at the man in front of him, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was infinitely magnified.
Why? Why?
He still remembered that when he was first accepted by Zhao Li, he only had infinite pain. At that time, when he went to the tomb, Zhao Li only cared about his own safety, while Pei only cared about Yunyun. It's obviously the same experience, why can you be taken care of infinitely. His eyes became dark, and Li Wen touched his pocket, not knowing what he was thinking.
