King Zhuang's Curse Chapter 9: Memories (Part II)
Back in the melon shed, Li Wangcheng couldn't sleep for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info thought to himself, if that crying voice is the mute girl I rescued just now, then there must be someone else calling my brother in the hole, and there should be a girl in it!
Extremely entangled in his heart, Li Wangcheng finally sat up, picked up the searchlight and came to King Zhuang's mausoleum again.
The moon emerged from the clouds and cast a silver glow, cloning the mausoleum with a thin veil of veil. Li Wangcheng's heart was horizontal, and he leaned over and crawled into the thief cave.
Descending the slope, I came to the familiar corner, and I took a searchlight to shine it, and there was no road ahead, and the sarcophagus was horizontally blocking the road, and behind it was a stone door with a semicircular arch structure.
Li Wangcheng took a searchlight and shone it up and down, left and right, but did not find the girl, and there was silence all around, so quiet that even the sound of his own breathing seemed harsh.
Li Wangcheng was a little disappointed, thinking that maybe the girl went out along the thief hole by herself.
But thinking about it again, this three-meter-deep hole, even he himself has to use tools or external forces to get out, and ordinary girls will definitely not be able to do it, so she called for help to herself, did the girl run into the arch?
Li Wangcheng stepped over the sarcophagus, patted the stone door, as if it was sealed, and shouted, "Is anyone there?" Girl, brother has come to save you! ”
No one responded, and the voice echoed in the tombway, and the echo came back: "Girl...... Girl...... I'm here to save you...... ......"
Suddenly, there was a muffled grunt, like the sound of someone covering their mouths and struggling, although small, but it was very clear in the empty tomb.
Li Wangcheng's heart twitched, and his body slammed hard against the stone gate, while shouting: "Don't be afraid, girl! Where did the demons come from, go back to hell! ”
The man's instinctive desire to protect has reached the extreme, and Li Wangcheng slammed wildly, but Shimen did not move.
At this time, Li Wangcheng was already exhausted, his whole body was sore, and he squatted in front of the stone gate.
Li Wangcheng, who had regained his senses, carefully illuminated the stone gate with a searchlight, and there were two pythons circling each other carved on it, which were exactly the same as the patterns on the sarcophagus. Blowing away the floating dust, the fine lines on the snake are clearly visible, and I can't help but sigh at the ingenuity of the ancients.
Touching it with your hands, the stone door was tightly sealed around it, without any gaps, and it was connected to the wall, which turned out to be a fake door!
Li Wangcheng said to himself: "These uneducated rats, the hole actually missed, and they went outside the cemetery!" ”
Li Wangcheng shook his head, and after staying underground for a long time, he had some tinnitus, thinking to himself, maybe the voice just now was because he was too nervous and hallucinating, maybe the girl really crawled out by herself, or the girl was not dumb, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Li Wangcheng thought about it and turned around to leave, saw the sarcophagus blocking the way, and said in a low voice: "Huh? This is a dead road, so where did this sarcophagus come from? ”
I wondered, could it be that this narrow tomb was once a burial tomb?
At this time, sleepiness hit, Li Wangcheng yawned a few times, he didn't sleep all night, it should be almost dawn outside, he really had no energy, so he had to step over the sarcophagus and go out.
As soon as he stepped over one leg, suddenly a hand stretched out from the sarcophagus and tightly grasped Li Wangcheng's other leg that was still stretched out in the coffin.
The defenseless Li Wangcheng screamed, kicked his legs desperately, landed on one foot and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell into the sarcophagus.
The bottom turned out to be empty! Li Wangcheng quickly grabbed the edge of the sarcophagus mouth.
At this time, a girl's voice came from under the sarcophagus: "Brother! Come on! Come on! ”
The girl's voice was hoarse, and every word was like an arrow off the string, piercing Li Wangcheng's heart violently.
Li Wangcheng pushed hard, grabbed the mouth of the sarcophagus, picked up the searchlight that fell on the ground, and shone it downward. The bottom of the sarcophagus turned out to be movable, like a window that would automatically retract, and below it was a two-meter-deep hole, and a girl was squatting on the ground covered in dust.
Li Wangcheng fixed his eyes and saw that the girl's sleeves were full of footprints, thinking that the girl was about to climb out just now, but he was kicked down by himself one by one, and his heart was very uncomfortable in an instant, and he let go of his hand, jumped down, and picked up the girl.
The girl trembled, her face turned pale, and she grabbed Li Wangcheng's arm tightly and said, "Brother, go quickly, there are ghosts here!" ”
Before the words fell, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor on the left, Li Wangcheng picked up the searchlight and shone it over, and a black shadow flashed and disappeared into the depths of the tomb.
Li Wangcheng hurriedly lifted the girl and lifted it hard, and the girl grabbed the edge of the coffin and flipped out. Li Wangcheng breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the protruding place of the wall, kicked his foot, grabbed the edge and flipped out.
The two of them ran all the way and climbed out of the thief hole with difficulty.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and seeing from a distance that the companions in the melon shed were still sleeping soundly, Li Wangcheng took a long breath, turned his head and asked the girl, "Why did the girl fall into this thief hole?" ”
The girl scratched her head: "Let's pick some wild mountain dates, I accidentally slipped into them." ”
Li Wangcheng helped the girl blow off the dirt on the ends of her hair, and asked pityingly, "What's your name?" ”
"Xu Lan!" The girl smiled brightly, "Where's my brother?" ”
"Li Wangcheng!"
"Hmm!"
"Where were you when I first went in?" Li Wangcheng asked puzzled.
"Just leaning on the edge of the sarcophagus, you shone me with a searchlight and ran away, I thought you wouldn't save me, got up and shouted a few words, and was dragged into the sarcophagus by the ghost, and it covered my mouth!"
When Xu Lan talked about ghosts, he still looked a little scared.
Li Wangcheng frowned: "Is there another girl who fell in with you?" ”
"No, the place is so small, it's just me, what's wrong, brother?" Xu Lan was also very curious after seeing Li Wangcheng's expression.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
At this time, Li Wangcheng suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart, could it be that there are really ghosts in this world? So isn't the scholarship that I've been studying so hard meaningless?
But when he saw Xu Lan, who had just escaped death, he had a lovely smile on his face, and he couldn't bear to mention it again.
Xu Lan said to Li Wangcheng before leaving: "My family lives in the southernmost courtyard of the village, and I am alone at home, so you don't have to sleep in the melon shed in the future!" ”
Then the archaeological team stayed at Xu Lan's house for three days, which was the most restful few days they had slept since they went up the mountain.
Li Wangcheng learned that Xu Lan's parents had passed away, and when he left, he left Xu Lan his address, saying: "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can contact me at any time, and my brother will definitely do his best to help!" ”
Xu Lan blushed and nodded.
