Chapter 68: Tomb Robbers
The moonlight is exceptionally bright, the spring water in the col is murmuring, and the sound of frogs is one after another. The moon reflected the shadows of the three of us on the low grass, and with the breeze blowing, the shadows looked particularly eerie.
I was both excited and nervous, and although I was digging up a freshly buried corpse, walking through this deserted col actually made me feel like a tomb robber.
The reason for this strange feeling is not that I like fantasy, but because of the dead dogs around me. When I first saw the dead dog, I could hardly believe that such a thin and short man could be Fang Wei's friend.
The dead dog rarely spoke, and when Fang Wei was introduced, he only nodded slightly to me. What surprised me was that although the dead dog looked very thin, the arms exposed outside the sleeves gave people a feeling of strong muscles, and I especially noticed that there was a gleam in the eyes of the dead dog.
Didn't Fang Wei say that after the dead dog saw me, he would be very grateful to me because I saved his wife? But in fact, the dead dog's attitude towards me was very cold, and there was no sense of emotion at all.
Coming to dig up a dead man, the dead dog actually brought quite professional outdoor equipment, which made me wonder if he was here to dig up the dead man who had just been buried, or to rob the ancient tomb.
The black mole on his chin was particularly glaring, and I always felt a little impressed, as if I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember anything.
I was caught between Fang Wei and the dead dog, and I was really nervous in my heart, for fear that they would engage in some conspiracy and turn me into a corpse buried in the mountains, so I couldn't help but clench my fists secretly, and if I found any abnormal movement, I was ready to fight to the death at any time.
"It's here!" The dead dog walking in front suddenly waved his hand and stopped. I held my feet coldly and almost hit the dead dog.
Fang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, sat on a big rock, and untied the burden he was carrying. When he untied it, I was surprised to find that there was a finger-thick rope in the baggage.
A question suddenly popped up in my mind: No, didn't Fang Wei come to bury the body of the person who died in Fang Wei's house? How is it that his friend's dead dog also knows the exact burial site? That's impossible! Because Fang Wei said that when the body was buried, the dead dog was still out of town and had not returned home.
I began to fear myself and knew that I was facing an unpredictable conspiracy. I regret it so much, I should have strongly asked to go to the dead dog's house first, under the pretext that the old lady who visited the dead dog had fully recovered, presumably they should have no reason to refuse me.
At that time, Fang Wei said that the exhumation of the corpse must not be known, so he did not take me to the dead dog's house, but waited for the dead dog halfway. I began to wonder if the old lady's son was the dead dog in front of me.
The dead dog circled back and forth a few times, and finally pointed to a haystack in front of us with great confidence and said, "Boss Fang, this is it." ”
Fang Wei said 'um' and said: "Dead dog, it's up to you this time, if the matter is done, we will do things according to the rules agreed in advance." ”
I looked at the haystack in front of me suspiciously, I could see it clearly in the moonlight, there was no trace of the haystack being trampled on, and the soil around it didn't look like it had been touched, so I couldn't help blurting out: "Fang Wei, are you mistaken?" Didn't you say that you buried someone just before yesterday? It looks like the earth hasn't been touched here! ”
Fang Wei ignored me, but the dead dog said with a disdainful expression: "Ling Sen, you still invited our boss Fang to invite you here, are you really digging up dead people?" ”
I became more nervous, took a few steps back, and asked them warily, "What do you mean?" Trick me into this barren mountain? I can warn you, don't try to do anything wrong with me, even if you two go together, the master will not see you afraid. ”
Fang Wei suddenly laughed, waved his hand at me and said, "Ling Sen, where do you want to go?" How can we harm your heart? You have been kind to us, and it is too late to repay you. So calling you today, it means that our three brothers will get rich together. ”
"Rich?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise: "What do you mean?" I don't want to make a fortune! Fang Wei, what the hell are you doing? Didn't you say that the body was disposed of? ”
The dead dog sneered and said, "Come on, Ling Sen." To tell you the truth, Boss Fang had already disposed of the corpse, how could he bury it without dividing the corpse? Is he stupid? ”
I looked at Fang Wei in surprise, he nodded, and said unhurriedly, "Ling Sen, don't worry, that little thing is still in such a hurry?" I did it myself, and it was impossible for people to find out. ”
I gasped, listening to Fang Wei's breath, he didn't bury the body here at all, so he told me that he was haunted by nightmares all day long, it was a complete lie, what did he want to do?
Hearing me question him, Fang Wei actually told me lightly: "Ling Sen, if I didn't say that, would you come here with me?" But I'm just going to tell you that although I'm not haunted by any evil spirits, the boulder I'm talking about doesn't lie to you. That's why I got you here. ”
The more I listened, the more confused I became, and pointed to the stone he was sitting on and said, "Fang Wei, is it the stone under you?" I don't see anything weird, do you? ”
Fang Wei's face immediately sank, and he said slowly: "Of course it won't be this stone!" It's a stone I've never seen before! It's horrible, everyone who saw it is dead! ”
Is there such a terrible stone in the world? Fang Wei's words aroused my curiosity and made me forget my fear for a while. When I was staring at him and asking, the dead dog said slowly, "Ling Sen, the stones that Boss Fang hasn't seen with his own eyes will naturally not be exposed on the ground." ”
"Underground?" I looked at the dead dog with a blank face, and suddenly thought of the family items he and Fang Wei were carrying, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Dead dog, you mean this stone is buried in the ground?" ”
The dead dog gave me a blank look and said, "Ling Sen, can you be quiet?" Although there is no one here, what if someone happens to enter the mountain? If we heard, none of the three of us would have been able to escape. ”
"I'm telling you, the stone is indeed underground, and it's in an ancient tomb. You see these things I have prepared, and you still don't understand? ”
I jumped up and said in surprise: "Fang Wei, from beginning to end, everything is a lie?" Your purpose is to trick me into coming here, but what are you digging an ancient tomb for? ”
Fang Wei said gloomily: "Ling Sen, I didn't force you, you found me yourself." After you caught the snake ghost, I believed that you were a real Taoist priest with magical powers, so I decided to pull you into the gang and called the dead dog back from the field. ”
Grave? Their purpose was not to kill me, but to make me a grave robber like them? But I'm completely inexperienced in tomb robbing, so why did they pull me?
