"I'm going, what's the situation?! Bandits have entered the village?! Lao Hai exclaimed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
I looked around and found that this tomb was not at all as gorgeous as I imagined, and it could be said that any ordinary common man could afford it, except for the small wooden coffin in the middle, there were no other utensils, and the four earthen walls were also uneven and very rough, and I could see that the construction of this tomb should be very sloppy.
We walked to the wooden coffin, which was one size smaller than the average coffin, and its body had rotted and cracked because of its age, and the lid on it had broken in two and scattered with the sawdust. I turned on my flashlight and looked inside, only to see that there were no bones in the inner coffin, only three hollow molars crowns, but they were very small, they were children's baby teeth, that is, the coffin was indeed a baby corpse.
Lao Hai punched the deer and said with a smile: "You are really a fucking talent, the person buried here is really a child, but the things inside have been taken away!" β
Looking at the empty coffin board, a feeling of nothingness suddenly hit me, we worked hard and hard, and in the end we were only faced with such a messy scene? The truth I was desperately seeking came to naught at this moment! I didn't want to accept the fact that I felt like I had fallen into the abyss, lost and lost.
Lao Hai rummaged meaninglessly in the coffin, trying to find some remaining treasures, but it was in vain after all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the only valuable thing should have been in the coffin, but it was not long ago that those people rushed to the coffin and looted it, and the answer I was looking for may be in those items, maybe I will never know everything about my father again!
The fawn wandered around the entire chamber, and it was obvious that he was also rather lost, and the reason why we went into the mountain before was largely down to the fawn's decision, and I am sure he also wanted to know something, something about himself, and I and his destiny crossed paths here, I don't know what that secret was, but I am sure that it was just as important to us.
"So what do we do now? Go back like a loser? I can't swallow that! Lao Hai shouted.
I looked at him and shook his head helplessly, maybe we are a loser, all the time, this feeling of being led by the nose is very painful, but what can be done, as Ah Mo said: Who doesn't follow the footsteps of fate, unwilling to do so but unable to escape?
I felt a little tired, slumped to the ground weakly, my head was in chaos, I wished I was the corpse in the coffin, sleeping for a thousand years and ignoring everything in the world, but the reality made me stop.
Thinking like this, Lao Hai suddenly said: "Wait, we seem to have ignored a very important issue, a very critical issue!" β
"If there is a fart, let it go, is it annoying to grind and chirp?" I said angrily.
"How did these people leave?"
As soon as these words came out, I suddenly came to my senses, yes, we didn't see anyone passing by when we came up, could it be that these people evaporated after opening the coffin?
My first reaction was that there was another exit here, and the fawn reacted faster than I did, and he was already searching around, and after a while, I heard him shout in a corner, "There's a thief hole here!" β
Lao Hai and I hurriedly followed the sound, and the fawn was squatting next to a sealed tomb door, peeking behind the door. When we looked closer, we saw a very rough hole at the bottom of the wall behind the door, and according to the texture of the hole, they had done it in a hurry, and there were a lot of dirt chips scattered in the hole, which had not been cleaned.
The fawn climbed in to observe it, then pulled back to us and said, "This hole is different from the previous method, it is used to blow through the squeeze bomb, it seems that they want to speed up the evacuation. β
"These turtle sons, they are in a hurry to run out without waiting for their father and me to come, if they are caught by me, they will have to teach them a good lesson!" Lao Hai scolded angrily.
I looked at the gravel and soil chips piled up on the floor of the burial chamber, and made a preliminary judgment that this thief hole was not deep, and it was probably connected to the thief holes dug before, if this is the case, we may not be able to catch up with them.
The fawn waved at us, motioned for us to follow, and then without saying a word we got into the hole, this time we crawled very fast, because we were preempted by someone, and there was an indescribable depression in my heart, in fact, I had prepared this kind of plan in the camp before, but when I learned about my father, I made up my mind to find the main burial chamber before them, but in the end it was still a step too late, I couldn't help but slam my fist into the ground, and I cursed and crawled forward.
The hole was very tortuous, and it was quite difficult for us to climb up because of the sharp and protruding edges and corners around it, but fortunately the hole was not very long, and after about five minutes of climbing, we saw the exit.
It was an upward slope, loose earth chips piled up at the bottom of the ramp, blocking most of the passage, we desperately picked up for a while, only to clear a space for us to barely drill through, the deer's feet kept staring at it, the falling slag rolled me and Lao Hai all over the body, I scolded a few words, and then climbed up in one go.
As soon as I climbed outside, I didn't react, the dazzling sunlight shone on my face, I couldn't open my eyes, the three of us stumbled up from the ground, hugged together, it took nearly seven or eight minutes to get used to this strong light, when I woke up, I found that the surroundings were full of dense trees, we were standing on a mountain close to the top of the mountain, under the foot is the boundless lofty mountains, just between the surrounding mountains, the ghost town we live in looming, become very small.
"Did we get out?" Lao Hai looked around with palpitations and said, "It's really fucking convincing, those turtle grandsons have long since disappeared!" β
The fawn and I looked at the scenery in the distance and didn't speak, I don't know what was going on in my mind at this time, but I knew that my expression must be ignorant. Standing on the top of ten thousand mountains, a complex taste of sadness and melancholy spread in my heartβthis is not the result I wanted!
"Captain, what do you say we should do now, the thief hole is here, do you want to go down and take a look, maybe there is something down there that hasn't been discovered!" Lao Hai patted me on the shoulder and said.
I don't know where the strength came from, and my brain blurted out completely uncontrollably: "Let's go back!" β
"What? Get back? That...... So what should Uncle Li do? β
"They'll be fine!" With that, I walked slowly down the mountain.
