Chapter 80: The Curse
"I'm sorry." He spoke in a daze, his voice low.
I'm sorry again, I feel like I'm about to blow up, I take a deep breath: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Pathfinding." He replied quickly.
"Don't even take a flashlight to find the way? Can pathfinder still be injured? ”
I really can't bear it, even if he wants to lie to me, he should find a better reason, he always uses this excuse to prevaricate because he thinks I'm stupid?
He shut his mouth and refused to speak, and there was silence in the cave, and the blood on his arm trickled down his fingertips into the water, like a passing time, which sounded panicking.
I can't go on, I said that no matter how much he can deal with it with silence, I remembered Lao Huang's words again, I treat him as a friend, he may not treat me as a friend, we are supporting each other now, the distance is so close, who knows what each other is thinking in their hearts? Husbands and wives still have different dreams in the same bed.
He was not lightly injured, I don't know where he went, if he kept bleeding at this rate, sooner or later he would go into shock.
Our footsteps were getting faster, and suddenly there was no sound, Lao Huang must be very strange, and his shout came from far away from the depths of the cave: "Daze? ”
"Here it is!" I answered.
We soon returned to the resting place, and Lao Huang was very surprised to see that Brother Shen was injured, but he didn't ask, just glanced at me.
I smiled helplessly, took out the medical bag, Brother Shen injured his left arm, the wound was a slender sharp scratch, it didn't look serious, but it was very deep, and his bleeding must have hurt a large blood vessel.
This kind of wound must stop bleeding first, I have no experience at all, so I can only hand it over to Lao Huang, fortunately, he has been in the army, and this kind of first aid is much more familiar than me.
The wound must have been very painful, and I saw that the muscles on Brother Shen's arm were trembling slightly, and Lao Huang was very skillfully bandaged, completely different from me, his hand was not shaking at all.
I don't dare to look at it, I don't think stalagmites can cause such injuries, and no matter how sharp a stalagmite is, it can't be as thin as a blade.
Brother Shen's sleeves were also torn, and the appearance of the fabric being shattered was completely caused by a sharp blade, and he was really lying to me.
Lao Huang bandaged and sat back, letting out a shallow sigh, Brother Shen leaned against the stone wall and began to be in a daze, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated.
"It's a knife wound, right? Don't pretend you can't hear, if you don't tell the truth, we'll find our own way, what's in front of us? Lao Huang asked, his voice very unfriendly.
He looked resolute, if Brother Shen didn't say it, he would definitely force me to leave, and then I would be caught in the difficult problem of which side to choose, with my character, in the end, I could only choose to act alone or split myself in half.
I looked at Brother Shen, and my heart was full of expectations, after all, we were going to meet when we went forward, and even if he said it, it was nothing.
He was silent for a few seconds, as if he had made up his mind: "I remember the smell of blood." ”
"What blood?" I quickly asked.
"Their blood."
"Who are they?" I'm already confused.
"I don't know, I can only smell blood," Brother Shen raised his hand to cover his face, he looked in pain, "They cast the curse." ”
"Who?!"
I jumped up all of a sudden, the source of the blood curse was in the Qin Dynasty, how could someone come out here to curse people?
Brother Shen identified them, he went to find them, and then he was injured, that must be a very powerful character, if Brother God can solve them, he will definitely not come back to me and say this.
There are still people in this cave, and they are enemies, what is their purpose, is it also jade?
My head is in a mess, the curse must be the enemy, they are looking for the jade to prevent us from getting it, they are going to bury the secret and make us grave keepers become real grave keepers.
What I had been worried about has become a reality, it was difficult enough to find the key to unlock the blood curse, and now that there are such strong enemies, do we still have hope?
My breathing became sluggish, and I was in a state of extreme worry, I really regretted that I had brought both pieces of jade, and if I met those people, they would have snatched them.
The division of the camp is too clear, even if Brother Shen has a lot of things to hide from me, he is also under a blood curse like me, this is a fact that cannot be changed, enemies are enemies, and friends are friends.
I hesitated, took out the two pieces of jade and handed them to him: "You take it." ”
Lao Huang was surprised when he saw Yu, and raised his hand to break my hand back: "Zhao Changze, what are you doing?" How did you bring the jade! ”
I can't explain it, I can't say that I suspect that his buddy is a dead man, I thought it would be safe to carry it with me, I didn't expect to meet real enemies here, I can't protect them with my ability, and it is the best choice to hand it over to Brother God.
I was silent, like Brother Shen, I didn't expect that I would have a day when I couldn't explain it, Lao Huang looked at me with a very complicated gaze, and there was disappointment and doubt in his eyes.
In the end, I also became the object of his suspicion, the blood curse is complicated, and I shouldn't have gone to him in the first place.
I feel that there is an obvious rift between myself and Lao Huang, once the doubt arises, it will be difficult to eliminate, I didn't expect it to come to this point, I can't explain it, I explain that he won't believe it, he will only feel that I trust Brother Shen more than he trusts him.
I don't want to hide it from him, I can give the jade to Brother Shen while he is away, but I want him to see that he understands better than me that real betrayal is silent, even if I am a fool, I will not be so stupid.
Lao Huang stared at me, took a few steps back and leaned against the cave wall, this sound was very loud, he really couldn't stand, he didn't understand my intentions at all, he was such a smart person, but he still didn't understand.
Smart people have a flaw, that is, they are too smart, and they will inevitably be centered on their own subjectivity, he may understand, but he doesn't want to believe me anymore.
I stretched out my hand again, this time Lao Huang didn't stop it again, Brother Shen could feel the jade, he must have known that I was carrying them, but he never said it, he should understand my thoughts, he would definitely take them to protect them.
Surprisingly, he didn't answer, he put his hand down and looked at me, and there was suspicion in his eyes.
I was stunned, the suspicion in his eyes was not obvious, but I could feel the silent estrangement, I was willing to hand over the jade to him, what else did he have to doubt?
"They say, 'You're in league with them.'" Brother Shen spoke, he didn't hesitate, he actually said it directly.
"Fart!"
I shouted, this is a naked/naked slander, Brother God seems to be a very smart person, how can he believe such a lie?
I was trembling with anger, and I stepped forward and grabbed him: "You said that they are under a curse, but I want to unlock the blood curse, how can I be with them!" ”
Brother Shen didn't move, let me pull it, my expression must be very hideous, I am now in the center of not being trusted, this feeling that everyone is far away from me is very bad.
Lao Huang and Brother Shen have never had a heart-to-heart, I thought I could reconcile their relationship, thinking that I was the one they wanted to woo, but it turned out to be the complete opposite of what I thought, none of them even believed me.
The three of us acted together, but we were already detached.
"You're right," Brother Shen spoke again, "You'll still hold the jade yourself." ”
I felt anger burning in my heart, he seemed to affirm me, but he didn't believe it at all, my feelings were always right, his cold look was different from before.
How could he trust those guys? I don't understand that we are so obviously hostile that he doesn't even believe me, how can he believe in the enemy's provocation, unless he has a reason to believe it.
I glanced at Lao Huang, he was looking at us with his hands on his face, with a look on his face like watching the annual drama, his appearance of not caring about himself made me very afraid, he was originally an outsider.
"They say, when you see you, you understand." Brother Shen said again.
"What do you mean? Understand what? "I'm so wronged, no one believes me, forget it, but I don't know anything.
Brother Shen shook his head: "Come with me and go see them." ”
I'm completely confused now, I'm obviously the most inconspicuous little role, but I'm used as a gunner by both parties, whether it's Brother God or that group of people know more than me, why is it me who is pushed to the forefront?
I was very irritable and aggrieved, I thought Lao Huang would come to comfort me, but he just silently packed his luggage, I was very sour in my heart and grabbed him.
"Lao Huang, I'm not trying to lie to you, I just think it's not safe for jade to be in the inn, and you know that there are a lot of people here......"
My voice was getting quieter, I couldn't go on, I was telling the truth, but hiding the important parts.
"If you bring it, you will bring it, I believe you."
Lao Huang said very calmly, but I was even more uncomfortable, I found that I couldn't see through anyone, I couldn't even hear the truth of his words, he usually looked like a big grin, when he really wanted to hide, I couldn't see anything at all.
"Stupid, what kind of expression is this, saying that believing you is believing you." Lao Huang smiled and raised his hand to rub my hair.
I feel very awkward, he just clearly doubted it, and now he believes me, which one is the real Lao Huang?
Brother Shen had already picked up his luggage, and he turned to look at us: "Smear the worm medicine." ”
I didn't ask the reason, I took out the insect medicine and started to wipe it, Lao Huang sat next to me, and said while applying it: "Daze, you don't know, your eyes always skim to the lower left corner when you lie." ”
I was shocked, and my first reaction was to wonder if my eyes had skimmed the lower left corner when I just spoke, but I had no impression, and I began to comfort myself that although I had just concealed it, I was telling the truth, and I shouldn't be.
I don't know why Lao Huang said this, is he reminding me that he found out that I was lying? He is so familiar with me, he must have seen my inconspicuous little action for a long time, after so many years, my habits will not change, he can still see it at a glance.
