Shen Han rarely talked to me about family matters, especially about her parents, and even avoided talking about them.

It turned out that I had asked about these things a few times, but every time Shen Han directly changed the topic and never continued to talk to me, so over time, I didn't ask these things again.

Since Shen Han didn't say it, there was naturally a reason why she didn't say it.

It may be that those things are not easy to say to outsiders, or it may be that Shen Han will feel uncomfortable when it comes to those things

All in all, she was reluctant to say, and I didn't ask again.

These questions have always been in my mind, but I don't want to ask them again.

But looking at the current situation, this old lady seems to want to tell me something about Shen Han's family

"Sit down, don't stand."

The old lady waved at me, then pointed to a chair next to me and motioned for me to sit there.

When I was seated, the old lady fell silent and drank her tea without saying a word.

It took two or three minutes before she spoke.

"Xiaohan's parents both died when they went to the grave." The old lady said.

"Well, I've heard Brother Hai mention this." I nodded.

"In fact, there is nothing to say about their deaths, as long as we enter the line and go down to the tomb, we will step on the word wealth with one foot, and step directly into the coffin with the other foot." The old lady said with a smile, her eyes were very distant, as if she was recalling those things from a long time ago, and her eyes looked very complicated: "People in our industry, one job after another, it is easy to make a fortune, but risks and opportunities coexist."

"It doesn't matter if it's a big tomb or a small tomb, and it doesn't matter how much treasure there is in the tomb." The old lady sighed: "There is a risk in every tomb, as long as the living enter the place where the dead live, there will be a certain chance that the dead will sleep under the loess." ”

I didn't interject, and listened quietly to the old lady's words.

"Xiaohan's parents are both capable people, in the tomb robbery industry, they belonged to the people who made a lot of money quietly, not famous, but their skills will definitely not be weaker than those first-class tomb robbers." The old lady smiled: "At that time, our Shen family also had some very powerful warlocks to help, so every time we went to the tomb, our Shen family people could come back safely."

Speaking of this, the old lady suddenly sighed.

"But that time they died in the tomb," the old lady said, slowly clenching the teacup in her hand, with a hint of grief in her eyes: "Their death was something none of us expected."

Hearing this, I was also a little curious.

Could it be that there is a deadly ancestor in the tomb under Shen Han's parents?!

Something like the Sin of the Shadows, not to mention that an ordinary warlock has met it, even if I meet a sunspot, I don't dare to say that I can kill it nine times out of ten.

"I know what you're thinking." The old lady shook her head: "There is no dirt in the tomb they went down, and there are no demons and monsters in those legends"

"Then how could uncle and aunt" I couldn't figure it out, and looked at the old lady in a daze, full of confusion.

"They were not unjustly killed." The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "I was killed by myself." ”

I frowned, didn't say anything more, and waited for the old lady to continue.

"There was nothing wrong in that tomb, not even the most common tomb protection arrays." The old lady's smile was very sad, as if laughing at herself: "But in there, there are countless hidden weapons, all of which are used to deal with living people. ”

"You mean," I looked at the old lady in surprise, "Uncle and aunt let these organs kill you?" ”

"That's right." The old lady nodded: "It stands to reason that the thing we don't fear the most is the hidden weapon, after all, we eat the food of the dead, and dealing with the hidden weapon has always been our strength." ”

"But from the rich tombs we have stolen, especially those with a lot of oil and water, there are basically no mechanisms, all of them are some strange array tombs, and some dirty things that can kill people."

"Over time, we didn't take those hidden weapons seriously, but instead put our vigilance on those formations and injustices." The old lady smiled bitterly: "When the people in our line enter the tomb, the first thing we must determine is whether the air in the tomb can live people, and the second thing to determine is whether there is anything dirty in the tomb, or check whether there is any surrounding situation to protect the tomb."

"The ancestor is right, the soil master who eats the food of the dead must abide by the rules, what the ancestor tells you to pay attention to, you have to pay attention to first"

After saying this, the old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea tremblingly, as if to calm herself down.

"That day, Xiaohan's parents took eleven gentlemen to the tomb, it was a prince's tomb, so they all went down with the heart of making a fortune" The old lady said: "From ancient times to the present, regardless of whether it was the tomb of the prince opened by Tufuzi or the national archaeological team, which prince's tomb did not have anything evil in it?" ”

"The prince's tomb opened by our Shen family is not one or two, and the prince's tomb opened by us, ten out of ten have no mechanism, all of them rely on dirty things to protect the tomb" The old lady smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It is because of these experiences that Xiaohan's parents will have a preconceived concept, and they feel that there are many evil things in the tomb of the prince, so they took away all the gentlemen of the Shen family, and said that it was to ensure the success rate of that tomb robbery."

"Grandma Shen, don't be too sad," I comforted.

The old lady smiled and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and then continued to talk to me.

"As a result, none of them expected that the tomb of the prince was full of hidden weapons." The old lady sighed: "As soon as they entered from the tomb road, the stone gate blocked the retreat outside, and before they could react, the stone bricks on the floor of the tomb collapsed, and more than 20 people were swallowed by this sinkhole."

"There are no mechanisms at the bottom of the pit, and there are no sharp weapons, so when they fall, they should be fine." The old lady smiled bitterly: "But they never thought that the prince would be so desperate, and would rather destroy his tomb than let the tomb robbers succeed."

"What do you mean?" I was stunned.

"The whole tomb collapsed." When the old lady said this, she closed her eyes tightly, and her hands holding the teacup were trembling: "None of the people who went down to the tomb came out alive, and all of them were buried in that sinkhole with yellow sand and thick soil." ”

When I heard these words, I only felt cold air running out of my spine, and I felt a chill on my back.

I imagined the sky falling for a moment, and then I couldn't help but shudder, and the expression on my face was a little unnatural.

"Their death is actually completely avoidable, but in the end" The old lady sighed deeply and shook her head: "Don't talk about them, let me tell you about Xiaohan." ”

I hummed and listened obediently, without squeaking.

"The death of Xiaohan's parents is just the beginning of a tragedy for Xiaohan." When the old lady said this, her eyes were always on me, staring at my eyes tightly: "She will become the character she is now, and it is also because of her parents. ”

I had already guessed what the old lady said, but I had never been sure.

Although Shen Han looks indifferent and has an extreme lack of trust in outsiders, in her bones, she is still a warm-hearted and kind person, there is no doubt about this.

There are only a few reasons for this.

Either it's innate, which can be ruled out for the time being.

Either it is caused by bad circumstances, such as being in the tomb robbery industry, seeing through the world and so on

But seriously, Shen Han just looks smart, in fact, she is still very simple, not like the kind of woman who sees through the world.

There's another reason, the one I've been guessing all along, family reasons.

"The Shen family is a family of tomb robbers, although it is not as good as the Shanghai family, but it is also much more profound than ordinary tomb robbing organizations." The old lady shook her head: "But even if you have a background, you can't afford to lose so many gentlemen at one time."

As soon as the words fell, the loss in the old lady's heart was already overflowing.

"The head of the Shen family, who is about to succeed to the throne, is dead, the wife of the head of the family is also dead, and ninety-nine percent of the gentlemen are also dead" The old lady smiled bitterly: "Since then, the Shen family has completely declined." ”

"But the decline is only temporary, and the Shen family must not be lost in the hands of our generation, so someone must come out to carry the flag and take the helm to reinvigorate the prestige of the Shen family."

"This person who came out to carry the flag and take the helm is Xiaohan."
