Chapter 18: Exploring the Grave at Night
Sun Houzi was about to continue, but was interrupted by Lu Nengda, and he asked a little confused: "Brother Lu, what's wrong?" Anything else? β
Lunengda laughed and said, "Have you all forgotten about the other group of tomb robbers?" β
Only then did everyone react, and Qiao Benliang slapped his thigh with his hand: "Oops! We are only concerned about talking here, and we have neglected such an important matter! Without further ado, let's go catch those thieves! β
Several people hurriedly stood up and hurried in the direction of the grave.
The Peacock Kingdom was established a few years earlier than the Loulan Kingdom, and at that time they were all small countries in the Western Regions, which were the link connecting the ancient Silk Road and occupied an extremely important historical position. Due to the desertification year by year, it has become a ruin.
The burial mound is located in the southeast of the ancient castle, about five kilometers apart. Qiao Benliang and the four of them didn't dare to delay time, and ran all the way forward. Among these people, it is also said that Sun Houzi is the fastest runner, and his nickname is really worthy of being called "Flying Fox", I saw him standing on tiptoe and flying on the sand, "swishing", and disappeared after a while.
Qiao Benliang secretly applauded in his heart: This person is really fast! There is indeed a fight with the fox living in the desert!
However, he can't speed up and run, and there is someone he needs to take care of - that is the fat man Chen Jie. In this case, Chen Jie has really become a drag on him, what can be done? At the beginning, he took the initiative to invite this good friend to come to the desert with him, and he had to worry about everything all the time, and he couldn't make a mistake!
Sun Houzi had already run away and couldn't see the figure, Lunengda also added full horsepower in front, and Qiao Benliang could only accompany Chen Jie to slowly catch up behind. "Brother Liang, you leave me alone for now, run faster and catch up with the two of them!"
Qiao Benliang smiled bitterly and said, "Fatty, leave you alone in the desert, do you think I can rest assured?" In case there are three long and two short, how can I explain to your parents when I go back? β
Chen Jie: "The two of us are running so slowly, when will we be able to run to wow?" Alas! I'm holding you back! β
Qiao Benliang: "It's okay, fat man, don't worry, with Big Brother Lu and Big Brother Sun, the two of them have passed, and it is more than enough to deal with those little thieves." Chubby, you, you really need to lose weight in the future. β
Chen Jie muttered in a low voice: "I want to lose the flesh on my body, but I can't control my mouth!" β
Under the cover of night, there were three dark shadows in a raised sand dune area, walking back and forth with flashlights, using metal detectors to probe here and there for a while, and then digging a pit below with a Luoyang shovel.
Needless to say, these three people are the sixth man, Da Mao and Xiao Shi who came to the tomb to rob the tomb.
The ancient tombs that exist in the desert are still very different in nature from the ancient tombs found in the dirt ground. Whether it is a tomb in a mountainous, hilly or plain area, tomb robbers only need to take a Luoyang shovel or an instrument to explore, and they will soon know what dynasty people are buried below, and whether there are valuable burial goods.
The tombs left behind by the Mauryan Kingdom were built before desertification, and after thousands of years of geological changes, the tombs are covered with a thick layer of sand, and it is difficult to identify the specific location. Of course, the four-character mantra that tomb robbers can usually useβlook, smell, ask, and cutβdoesn't work in the desert.
"How's it going, Sixth Brother? Are you sure it's this place? Da Mao was dizzy with the sixth child, and he hadn't had any eyebrows for so long.
Lao Liu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two and handed them to Da Mao and Xiao Shi, then stuffed one into his mouth, lit it with a lighter and took a few puffs: "......, Maozi, why are you in a hurry?" Is it okay to be a little patient? Have a little faith in your sixth brother! As you know, the environment in the desert is complicated, so let's work harder and find the entrance to the tomb sooner or later! β
Da Mao took a puff of cigarette and said, "Sixth brother, I naturally know this in my heart, and if it takes too long, it really upsets people!" I don't know what the situation is going on at the castle, how is it going now? β
At this time, a figure in the distance stumbled over, and shook the tube in his hand at them three times, and Da Laoyuan's mouth began to shout: "Sixth brother! Oh no! Something big is wrong! β
Da Mao heard that it was Xiaohu's voice, so he hurriedly greeted him, and stretched out his hand to support him: "Xiaohu, why did you come here?" What the hell is going on? β
Xiaohu couldn't stop panting, and the inside of his mouth was dry: "Cousin, six...... Brother, that monster - the monster appeared again, and put Ah Hai and ...... And the calf was killed! Yes......! As he spoke, his mouth opened wide and he wailed.
After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned in place, the treasure was not found, but two lives were taken first. "How so? Xiaohu, how did you escape? Da Mao asked.
Xiaohu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and cried and said: "After you left, Ah Hai and Xiao Niu and I began to probe the situation inside the castle, but I didn't expect to find that there was a person hiding there, and we started to fight without saying a word." Unexpectedly, this guy could do martial arts, so he took out a sword and stabbed us, and warned that no one should think of attacking these treasures. β
"That's when the monster appeared! Ah Hai and the calf didn't run far before they were burned to death by the flames that erupted from the monster's mouth! I found a place to hide, and I was lucky enough to save a small life! β
Da Mao's mood at this moment is like Sun Wukong arriving at Nantianmen - he couldn't help but panic, these young people were all found by him, and now that they are dead, what will he do when he goes back?
He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and yelled at the sixth: "Sixth, what do you say about this matter?" My people followed you to this hellish place and died, so what do you say? β
The sixth man bowed his head and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Da Mao, no one wants such a thing to happen, right?" This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, it was the monster that killed the two of them, and it has nothing to do with me, but for the sake of you and me, after I find the treasure, I will give you one more share! β
When Da Mao heard this, he was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he waved his fist to beat the sixth child: "!" You're fucking stinking fart! The two big living people came with you in the desert, and now that the people are gone, you have to give money to their families as compensation, when are you still patronizing the things that worry about the dead? I really want to beat you up to relieve the hatred in my heart! β
The sixth was just about to speak, when he heard someone on the sand dunes shouting loudly: "You damn thieves have done too many things that hurt heaven and reason, and now it is your turn to retribution!" Bad things are done, and death is not a pity! β
When Xiaohu saw the person coming, his heart suddenly became very nervous, he pointed with his finger and said to Da Mao: "Cousin, this is the person!" He was on the other side of the castle just now - he came out to make trouble and stabbed us with his sword! β
The sixth man next to him hurriedly saw the opportunity to act, and said in his mouth: "Da Mao, at this time, you must not be out of proportion, you must distinguish friend from foe, a few of us should work together to deal with this kid!" β
Da Mao snorted coldly in his nostrils and said, "My heart is like a mirror now, it depends on how you express it." If you don't understand what I mean, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone! β
It seems that there is no real money, and even his former partner has to part ways with him and abandon him. In desperation, the sixth child had to grit his teeth: "Okay! Da Mao, you can rest assured, after you go back, I will give you a million compensation! β
"No way!" Da Mao shook his head.
The sixth asked: "Then you can tell me a number!" β
Da Mao: "At least two million, otherwise everything is not to be discussed!" β
The sixth child scolded in his heart: Turtle son, count yourself ruthless! Don't think that Lao Tzu's money is so easy to take, and I'll settle accounts for you when the time comes! He smiled and pretended not to care: "Yes, just do what you say!" β
Sun Houzi here was so angry that he pointed at the two people and scolded: "Dogs, do you treat Lao Tzu as air?" It's all this time, and you're still there to bargain, and it's endless? β
Da Mao waved the shovel in his hand and said, "Boy, you dare to come here to spoil the good things of the masters, and you are impatient, right?" β
"That's right! It's you dog thieves who dig people's ancestral graves that are dying, and I have to punish you today on behalf of God! β
Sun Houzi pulled out his soft sword from his waist, and was about to step forward to teach these tomb robbers a lesson, but he heard a voice behind him shouting: "Brother Sun, don't be busy fighting yourself, wow, and me!" β
