Chapter 53: Last Words

There were no wooden coffins in the cave, and even the only crystal coffin that could float was indirectly damaged by me.

At this point, looking at the rising water level in the cave, I sadly found that the only thing we could do was wait to die.

As the water in the ancient well continued to seep out, the temperature in the cave had dropped to a terrible level, and even a layer of hoarfrost hung on the stone walls of the cave. Not to mention Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue, even I shivered all over my body.

The white mist rises in the cave, coupled with the crystal water droplets that continue to drip from the top of the cave, this cave really has a bit of a water curtain cave at this time.

It was very uncomfortable to wait for death slowly, and I stood up boredly, and began to look at the row of dead bodies behind me with courage.

This was when I had the advantage of studying archaeology, and looking at the clothes of these dead bodies, I quickly deduced the age of their respective bodies.

From left to right, the two dead bodies on the far left are from the early Han Dynasty, followed by the three from the Tang Dynasty, and the next two from the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining seven dead bodies should be from the Republic of China.

I glanced at the corpses a few times and shook my head.

These people seemed to be dying quickly, and the expressions on most of their faces were frozen in an instant, and some of them were still clutching the tools used to rob the tombs. Due to the fact that they were frozen in ice, these utensils were not even oxidized or damaged in the slightest, as if they were brand new.

"Maybe after today, there will be three more corpses here." I sighed and couldn't help but muttered to myself.

I heard that women want their youth to last forever, but I don't know if Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue will be happy if they stay young forever in this way.

Thinking wildly, the water level in the cave had completely submerged the crystal coffin, and it spread to the level of the tomb.

At this point, I couldn't help but think that if the bronze door hadn't been sealed, maybe we would have been fine.

After all, this tomb road has always been connected to the underground river, and if the nearly two-meter-wide tomb road is turned into a drainage system, there is no problem at all.

But the problem is in the bronze door, which is so immortal that it automatically locks as soon as we enter, and now at most it can only seep out a little water from the crack in the door, which is not enough to see compared to the speed at which the well water gushes out of the ancient well.

"Rice cake, Sister Plum, we're all about to drown anyway, so instead of waiting to die, let's play a game." Xiao Yue had gradually adapted to the height of the small platform, and at this time, looking at the rising water level in the cave, he said to me and Li Huiyan.

"What game to play? It's so narrow that you're worried about falling off when you walk on it, so do you still want to play diving here? Hearing this, I put away the boring thoughts in my heart, turned my head sideways and asked half-jokingly.

Although Li Huiyan didn't speak, she listened with interest on the side, and it could be seen that she seemed to be curious about what the game Xiao Yue was talking about.

"It's so boring." Xiao Yue rolled her eyes, and then said: "Aunt Ben, who is in her prime of life, even if she is going to die, she will not think of committing suicide by diving." ”

I'm right when I think about it, I'm going to die anyway, so why don't I let myself die comfortably.

"And what game are you talking about?" I asked again.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just think that everyone is dying anyway, it's better for everyone to say their last words, at least they won't die so aggrieved, don't you say?" Xiao Yue thought for a while and said.

"Don't say it, it's a fun game, since everyone is going to die here, even if you tell the secret in your heart, no fourth person knows. Although there is still a bit of regret, at least it will not die too lonely. I said, I was the first to agree with Xiao Yue's proposal.

I didn't expect Xiao Yue to think of this method at such a time, the route of the cranial nerve is really different from others.

"Sister Lizi, what do you think? Don't agree? Seeing that I agreed to her proposal, Xiao Yue turned her head and asked Li Huiyan, who was sitting on her right.

"Yes." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

"Yay...... That's great! Seeing that his proposal was unanimously approved, Xiao Yue couldn't help but scream excitedly and almost jumped up.

Seeing this, I hurriedly grabbed her, but before I said anything, I fell into the water and froze to death or drowned.

"But which of us will speak first?" After the excitement, Xiao Yue said again.

Immediately, the three of you look at me, I look at you, and no one has the intention of standing up and taking the lead.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yue proposed to use rock-paper-scissors to determine the order of appearance.

After a while, the order was divided, Xiao Yue was first, Li Huiyan was second, and I was lucky to be last in line.

"Okay, then I'll talk first." After sorting out the order, Xiao Yue didn't twist, and slowly talked about his buried thoughts and last words.

"Actually, don't look at me every day when I'm crazy and heartless, it seems like I'm not happy all the time. But only I know that I will become like this, and there is no way to do it. ”

"For as long as I can remember, my parents have been busy with business all day. They go out early and return late all day, and many times they lock me alone in the house, and every time I want to go out to play, I can only lie on the balcony and look at the children of the same age downstairs with envy on my face. They were afraid that I would be hungry, so they bought lots and lots of snacks at home. “

"That's when I started snaking. Eat when I'm happy, eat when I'm unhappy, except for those plush toys at home, these snacks have become my closest companions in childhood memories. ”

"Later, my parents' business got bigger and bigger, from setting up a small stall to opening a company, people became busier and busier, and it became more and more difficult to see them. Our family also moved from a dilapidated residential building to a new house, and finally to a large villa. When I finally grew up and started going to school, I realized that I didn't know how to interact with people. Later, my parents simply sent me to my grandparents to take care of me, and I saw them less and less. ”

"Although they would give me a lot of living expenses every month, they would never let me go hungry and freeze. But my biggest wish since I was a child was that they could spend more time with me, like other children my age, to have parents take me to the park and take me to the playground. But this wish was not fulfilled until I went to college. ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, every time I have had a parent-teacher conference since I was a child, my parents have never been there, and my grandparents have accompanied me."

"You might think that I love to snack for some other reason, but no, I'm just just lonely. I can count the friends I have known since I was a child, and the only ones who have always accompanied me are all kinds of snacks. ”

"So, my last words are to hope that if there is an afterlife, my parents in the next life will not just think about making money, and they can spend more time with me. Also, I hope that I can have a snack before I die, but this wish may not come true. ”

"Okay, my last words are over, it's Sister Li's turn."

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and I saw that her eyes had already become watery, so I gritted my teeth and endured it so that I didn't let myself cry.

After listening to Xiao Yue's words, I finally understood why she loved snacks so much. I originally thought that she just liked to eat snacks, but I didn't expect that there were so many reasons for this, if it wasn't for these things today, I'm afraid I would never have known these secrets.

Seeing that Xiao Yue finished speaking, Li Huiyan hesitated for a moment and began to talk about her own affairs slowly.

"Actually, my last words are very simple, I want to see my grandmother with my own eyes, and if I can, I want to find out the truth about my grandfather's accident."

"My grandparents were well-known archaeologists, and before I was born, they organized an archaeological operation in the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang to find a tomb that was said to move. In the end, my grandfather was the only one of the fourteen archaeological team members who survived, but he was already delirious. ”

"My parents are with me all day long, but since I was a child, I have been very envious of those children who have grandpa and grandma to hurt. Every time I see those children in the neighborhood have grandparents and go to and from school, I am very envious when I see them coquettish in front of their grandparents. ”

"When I was a child, I didn't understand that, so I cried a lot in front of my parents about it. Later, as I grew older, I gradually learned some things about those years. For some reason, I have been particularly interested in archaeological knowledge since I was a child, and I am very talented in it. While the other kids were sneering with fairy tale comic strips, I started sneaking into my grandfather's study to look through archaeology books. ”

"At that time, I just liked it, and I didn't have the idea of doing archaeology in the future. It wasn't until later that I learned about the accident of my grandparents from an old comrade-in-arms of my grandfather, and I began to think that if I could study archaeology in the future, I might be able to rely on my own strength to find out the truth about my grandparents' accident back then. ”

"It's just that when I told my parents what I thought, my parents, who have always respected my ideas, resolutely opposed it this time, and even said that if I dared to study archaeology, they would not recognize me as a daughter, and they also found my grandfather's comrades-in-arms to persuade me together."

"In the end, under their pressure and persuasion, I had to give up my original idea and follow their wishes to apply for an economics major that I didn't like. But I didn't give up, and whenever I had free time over the years, I would spend all my time learning all kinds of archaeological knowledge. I have almost all the books in my grandfather's study. ”

"If I could, I would like to find the ancient tomb in the desert and find out the truth about what happened to my grandparents."

Li Huiyan also finished speaking, I heard most of what she said on the train, but it was not so detailed.

At that time, I only heard her say that it was because of the persuasion of her parents that she gave up applying for the archaeology major, and she didn't know that it was his parents who threatened to deny her as a daughter.

I can't help but be a little curious now, what happened to Li Huiyan's grandparents back then? And what is the moving desert tomb it is talking about?

If I had the chance, I'd like to go with her.

However, it seems that this idea of mine will not come true, because there is a chance that we will die here today.

"Zhang Sansan, it's your turn."

Xiao Yue and Li Huiyan both finished saying their last words, and both of them fell on me at the same time and began to wait for me to speak.
