Chapter 77: The sun is waning
I didn't want to look at the things illuminated by the fluorescent tube, and I didn't dare to think about it, so I just glanced at me and hurriedly climbed back behind Cailiu, and the fat man asked me what I was looking at, and I didn't tell the truth, so I made up a reason to urge him to hurry up and get on the ground, and it would be troublesome if those things were really chased out.

But later it turned out that my worries were unnecessary, we went all the way up, there was nothing in the dark and narrow thief hole, and there was no danger of shaving the head from the thief hole to the ground above the head for tens of meters, but only before reaching the ground, Cailiu asked me to eat the fruit in my pocket, and then we successfully turned over a large area of leafy vegetation, and lay down in the arms of the reckless primeval forest, so far, the entire Yingu ancient tomb search journey has come to an end.
But that is far from the end of the matter.
I lay in the bushes, my tense nerves finally soothed, and the thought of what had happened all the way was as unreal as a horse's view, until the fat man came to pull me, and I woke up from my trance.
"Hey, what now?" The fat man asked me.
I was stunned for a long time, sighed, and replied, "What else can I do?" Find your way back to camp. ”
This ancient merchant tomb is entrenched at the bottom of the Yin Valley, the area is huge, stretching for several miles, recall that its scale almost occupies the entire Yin Valley as a sealed land, such a large place who knows where the thief cave is opened? We rested for a while and set off again, surrounded by clouds and smoke, the fog mixed with the water vapor pressure was very low, only a short time to go, the trouser legs were already soaked, the warm morning light sprinkled in the forest, the sound of birds, beasts and insects was endless, like a strong breath of primitive forests, and there was still a trace of the unique scarlet soil of Yin Valley.
This......
If nothing else, we should be lost.
This kind of thing is not big or not, and it is really not a trivial matter to say that it is small, and the primeval jungle is full of dangers, but it is not as comfortable as in the ancient tomb. Realizing that I was lost, I had a feeling in my heart that I had just come out of the wolf's den and fallen into the tiger's den, I almost didn't have any survival skills in the wild, and I didn't carry a compass or anything like that, the only compass was given to Cha Si before entering the mountain, and it was Xiao Chen's, I didn't know much about the method of positioning the North Star, and even if I did, I couldn't tell where the archaeological team's camp was, I thought about it, and fell into a dilemma for a while.
Cailiu and the fat man didn't seem to pay much attention to this, and they wandered around for a while, and I heard Cailiu say, "Here." ”
When I came out, I realized that it must have rained the night before, and the forest ground was very wet, and the moisture was ridiculously heavy. At this time, I heard Cailiu speak, I leaned over to take a look, it turned out that they found a set of very fine footprints on the soil layer, not deep nor shallow, very eye-catching, if I guessed correctly, this should be left by the fox-faced ghost girl. I am very happy in my heart, there is no endless road, as long as I follow her traces, most of them can get out of this primeval forest. I was going to go out of the forest and find a way to go back to the camp to meet the leader, but I didn't expect it, after walking in the footsteps of the masked girl all day, we actually returned to Yin Valley again, and returned to the camp where the archaeological team was stationed near midnight.
What is the fox-faced ghost girl doing at the camp? I wondered if she had come to the camp to slaughter state officials.
Thinking about it, I hurried into the camp, and the situation before me was as strange as I had expected—everything was as it was in the camp, except for the fact that there was no one alive.
I remember that when I first went down to the ancient tomb, there were only four relevant people left in the camp except for Deputy He, except for Cha Si, who died mysteriously, and there were two medical staff and correspondent Xiao Du who accompanied the team, but at this time, the three of us looked around the camp for a long time, not only did we not see Xiao Du and them, but even Deputy Director He was gone, but everything in the camp did not change much, and these people disappeared as if out of thin air.
The fat man and I looked at each other, thinking that if we were to evacuate the construction site, we would have to get the personnel in order and the equipment would have to be taken away, not to mention that it would not happen overnight for an archaeological team to leave a burial site...... But if you hadn't left, what would be the situation now? Could it be that he himself also went to the ancient tomb with three laymen?
Vice Captain He is eccentric and moody by nature, so it is not impossible to think about it, I beckoned the fat man to go to the tomb crossing to have a look, maybe I can find some clues.
I just thought about it, but I didn't expect to find a few missing colleagues at the entrance of the tomb - the two medical staff and the correspondent Xiao Du, but the three of them have become three cold corpses.
In fact, to speak from the heart, after these few days of encounters, I have almost been a little numb to the separation of life and death, at a glance when I saw Xiao Du and the others piled up at the mouth of the tomb like slaughtered livestock, there was no other feeling in my heart except for loss. Until now, my expectations for the future of our archaeological team have been completely extinguished, almost all of them who can die are dead, the second team is completely wiped out, not to mention the truth or falsehood of what Xiao Ye said, they were indeed brutally killed; The first team even led Captain Li is difficult to protect himself, so Professor Qian is estimated to be more than lucky; And the logistics team I brought myself didn't have to say, the seven seven eighty-eight who had died before they arrived at the camp had finally escaped alive, but I didn't expect that even the colleagues who answered in the camp were given a nest by tomb robbers.
I stared at the three corpses on the ground in a daze, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly rummaged through it, and after looking for a long time, I turned my head and asked the fat man:
"What about Vice?"
This valley surrounded by primeval forests is always very strange and quiet in the middle of the night, I sat in the tent with the fat man and Cailiu, and there was no bonfire, everything in the valley was not close, we didn't have to worry about wild beasts attacking. I turned on a lantern and placed it in the middle of the tent, which was still in the collection of a colleague in the archaeological team, and now it is a human being, and the orange halo from the lantern is miserably scattered on us, and it seems to tell its own story.
"It doesn't look like the masked woman did it." I analysed worriedly.
Because he remembered Chasi, the fat man took a sip fiercely, took over the conversation and said: "Hmph, you also saw that the three people at the entrance of the tomb were all shot to death, and they were definitely not the means of the thief mother-in-law!" ”
The fat man is right, we have checked Xiao Du's corpses later, and found that they all died of gunshot wounds, although the fox-faced ghost girl acted treacherously, but it should not be despicable to such a point, and no matter how you look at it, you can't feel that she is the master of the gun, when we met at the coffin of Bai Lu's teeth before, I saw that she was carrying a long object on her back, that thing should be her usual weapon, and the effect is equivalent to Cailiu's dragon blood groove double blade.
Different from the advanced instruments used by archaeologists, folk tomb robbers such as Cailiu are actually very retro and romantic in nature, almost all of them are accustomed to cold weapons, one is convenient to hide, and the other is also a kind of inheritance, and more importantly, from the cruel way of Xiao Du and the three of them that are close to being executed in a centralized manner, it does not look like a tomb robber, so according to this, it should not be done by a fox-faced ghost girl.
