Things were going for the best, and I reached out and saw the woman's back, walking as smoothly as before, not noticing us at all.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled the old horse and ran quickly to the other side of the road, where there was a field underneath, but this side was full of weeds.

The woman was still walking forward, never looking back, and we were half-squatting in the field and sticking out half of our heads to look at her secretly, following her little by little.

After walking for another two or three miles, I only felt that my waist was already sore, and the woman was still moving forward, and I was already lacking in interest, and I didn't want to follow much.

It's funny to think about the two of us, she doesn't care about us in whatever she does, but we have to be sneaky like thieves.

We followed for a while, and just as I was about to give up, the woman suddenly changed direction and headed straight south.

I feel inexplicable, there is a weed to the south, does she want to go in and relieve herself?

I straightened up a little, but I felt that the blood in my whole body was congealing in an instant, and it was indeed weeds to the south, but a few hundred meters further in was the graveyard where we had been beaten by ghosts.

This woman came out in the dead of night just to go to the graveyard?

I glanced at the old horse, and saw that he looked frightened, and the woman was still walking straight towards the graveyard, and her steps were still steady.

I watched her walk into the graveyard and disappear into the tombstones, feeling my legs go limp, and I swore to myself that no matter what this woman was doing, I would never have anything to do with her again.

Lao Ma must have the same idea, our task now is to take out that piece of jade, and everything else has nothing to do with us.

The two of us climbed up from the field and ran towards Chaoyang Village, tacitly understanding as if we were alone.

I was already tired and half dead, and all my organs were protesting, but I still ran as fast as I needed to run for my life.

The two of us quickly ran to the entrance of the village, and then slowly stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, and the old horse looked at me and gasped: "Da, Daze, I swear that I will never meddle in my business again, and I will beat me to death if I want to care about you again." ”

I didn't think so, looking at my watch, it was already a quarter past ten, I hadn't eaten for a day, and I just felt my stomach twitching.

Tiredness hit us in an instant, and we walked half-dead onto the path, so quiet that we could only hear each other's breathing.

"Osawa ......"

The old horse suddenly stopped, and his voice was a little nervous: "Look at the tree, how can there be a human face......

When I looked up, I saw a white thing hidden in a tree, and its eyes were bulging to look at us, really like a human face.

I couldn't help but let out an "ah", and when I looked closely, I saw that it was a white night owl (owl), smiling at us, looking treacherous and weird.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a night owl barking, you are afraid of a night owl laughing, and it is said that seeing a night owl laughing will kill you.

I was tired for a day, and I was startled, and now I looked at the face with a strange smile, and I was afraid and angry in my heart, so I raised my hand and picked up a stone and threw it over.

"Damn, even you dare to laugh at Lao Tzu!"

The stone was thrown and nothing hit, and the night owl was frightened and flew away.

The old horse turned his head to look at me, looking like he was about to cry: "Master said that it was unlucky to laugh when he saw this thing, is it cursing us......

"Curse, I haven't cursed enough, and I still have my turn to get it?"

I scolded fiercely before I felt a little better in my heart, this thing is evil, I am actually afraid of it in my heart, but I also have to make a look of not being afraid, the king of Hades still doesn't accept evil ghosts, you have to be more fierce than it this kind of thing, so it doesn't dare to bully you.

After such a fuss, the two of us didn't even have the strength to speak, walked silently, and soon returned to the familiar courtyard.

The little girl was sitting by the well, and when she saw the two of us, she jumped up: "What are you running around all day?" Today, a whole bunch of people came one after another, all of them were your couriers. ”

I saw a lot of things piled up in front of our house, and quickly thanked them: "I'm sorry for you, it's all our exploration things, and now there is no food, it's okay if it's cold, whatever you want." ”

The little girl glanced at me: "I know that you are half starved to death, and the pot is hot, waiting for me to bring it to you." ”

I thanked me again, and I didn't have time to look at the equipment, so I poured myself from head to toe with water, no wonder I didn't get bitten by mosquitoes much today, and I hated this stinky sweat.

I came with a total of two changes of clothes and a coat, and now there is only one T-shirt left except for me, and the old horse is even worse, he has always only had the same outfit on him.

The two of us changed the clothes that were washed yesterday, and the courier all moved into the house, the clothes were really not strong to wash, and the little girl had already brought the food to the table, and she couldn't move her feet when she smelled the fragrance, so she simply filled her stomach first.

We devoured it, and almost didn't taste it, so I ate faster than the old horse, so I went to open the courier first.

The brand new gear sparkled in the dim light, and I bought two large backpacks, which were not easy to cram all into.

Seeing me desperately stuffing my wetsuit into my bag, the old horse put down his chopsticks: "Can this thing really be used?" I don't see water in the tomb. ”

I glanced at him: "I bought everything, and if I didn't bring it, it would be wasted, and I threw away the donkey leg because it was too heavy." ”

The old horse was no longer silent, and the donkey's leg was his treasure, and it was very useful to block him.

I stuffed all the diving suits, oxygen cylinders, medical kits, gas masks, flashlights, lighters, and cold fireworks, all of which were small pieces, and the climbing rope sapper shovel was really unstuffed, so I tied it to the outside of the backpack, the water was stuffed in the small pocket on the side of the backpack, and there were a few packs of compressed biscuits stuffed on the other side.

If it is really because of the Yangtze River cut off from entering this tomb, according to the experience of the ancestors, it will only be able to come out in eight or nine hours at most, and the equipment I bought is more than enough, and it is enough to prepare a little food, if it is not enough, then we must be directly buried as a funeral.

After the old horse finished eating, he came to the kang and sat down, silently watching me clean up, I looked up at him, and saw that he was full of fatigue.

"Daze, you're going to go tomorrow?"

I didn't look up: "What, what time do you want to do tomorrow?" ”

"Don't you think you're too tired today, can you take a day off tomorrow?" The old horse's voice was low, with longing.

I stopped what I was doing, the old horse felt tired, how could I not, with my physical fitness, it must be more uncomfortable than him.

Now that I've even found the thief hole, I just need to act when I want to go, and there's really no need to hurry.

Thinking about it like this, my exhaustion prevailed, so I nodded: "Then the day after tomorrow, it can't be delayed any longer." ”

"Okay." The old horse agreed.

After this extra day, I felt that my whole body and mind were relaxed, and I didn't take anything away, just put my backpack on the ground open.

I climbed to the kang and lay down side by side with the old horse, opened the mobile phone and took a look, there was a large string of missed calls on it, it should be called by those who delivered the courier, we had no signal in the mountains, and I only received it when I came back, I stared at the mobile phone and only felt that my eyelids were heavy, and I fell asleep after a while, but I slept very unsteadily.

It stands to reason that I should have slept soundly after such a hard work, but I had a night of chaotic dreams, from the death of my father to the death of Old Man Chen, from the coat that disappeared inexplicably to the smiling night owl, all night was a bizarre dream interspersed with recent encounters.

In a daze, I heard the old horse get up and go out of the door, and after a while he came back and lay down, and then he felt so sleepy that he fell asleep completely.

When I woke up, I only felt that my mouth was dry, and I wanted to find water to drink in a daze, and the thin cloth curtains blocked the window, and the room was very dark, and it seemed to be only four or five o'clock.

I picked up the water glass and took a few sips, and subconsciously looked at my watch, but this look completely scared me awake, only to see that the hands of the watch were already pointing to two o'clock.

Although it was dark in the house, it couldn't be night, so I stepped forward and opened the curtains, only to see that it was overcast outside, and it seemed that it wanted to rain.

We slept until two o'clock in the afternoon.

The old horse was disturbed by the sound of me pulling the curtains, and snorted a few times in his mouth, and I walked over and slapped him in the face: "Hurry up, it's two o'clock!" ”

"Hmmm......"

The old horse half-opened his eyes, shook his head, slowly got up, supported the kang with his arm, and looked at me in a daze.

I sighed, put my shoes on and opened the door, only to see the little girl collecting the corn that was drying in the yard into the house.

"You two are awake, do you want to eat?" The little girl said casually.

"It's going to rain?" I asked.

"Yes, the forecast says there will be heavy rain tomorrow, and now it's time for it to rain every day."

I felt a rush of blood rush to my head, tomorrow there is a rainstorm, so how are we going to go to the grave?

No, we have to go today!

I rushed into the house and shook the old horse vigorously: "Hurry up and sober up, we have to go today!" ”

The old horse looked confused: "What's wrong?" ”

"What's the matter, look at the sky outside, that little girl said that it will rain tomorrow, and it may be every day in the future, so we won't be able to go if we don't go today!"

The old horse turned over and got off the kang: "What time is it now, and it will be dark when we get to the ground." ”

"If it rains, the Yangtze River rises, do you know what will become inside?"

Lao Ma realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately began to pack up his things, he looked at the packets of incense paper cinnabar: "What should I do about these?" ”

"There's no way, just throw this, where is the time to paint." Anyway, what you drew shouldn't be of much use, I thought to myself.

The old horse didn't care anymore, stuffed the equipment scattered outside into the bag, picked up one and carried it, I also picked up the bag, ran to the yard, casually hit a bucket of water and wiped a few handfuls on his face, the old horse went directly to the courtyard gate, and didn't even wash his face.
