Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hiding the Body
At first, I wondered why Yang Xue recovered from her injuries so quickly, and she walked very quickly, not at all like an injured person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Moreover, her expression was cold and indifferent, and she seemed to turn a deaf ear to my blame, and just glared at me and Lao Yang fiercely with her eyes, and cautiously approached us.
However, after Lao Yang told me that the person in front of me was the blackened Yang Xue, he immediately pounced, ready to preemptively control this Yang Xue. But the latter had already prepared, when Lao Yang rushed towards her, he took out a dagger out of nowhere, and with a horizontal stroke, he cut a hole in the clothes on Lao Yang's chest, if it weren't for Lao Yang's quick reaction and shrank back, he was afraid that the skin and flesh would have been cut.
The blackened Yang Xue hit his hand, shouted softly, and raised the dagger to stab Lao Yang's stomach, Lao Yang was not ambiguous, he reached out and grabbed the other party's wrist, twisted it hard, and the dagger came out of his hand and fell to the ground. I took advantage of this opportunity, rushed over with an arrow step, rolled twice on the ground, picked up the dagger and stabbed Yang Xue in the arm, the blade was not cut in half, and a stream of red liquid suddenly flowed out.
"Ahh
Yang Xue screamed in pain, suddenly lost her mobility, covered her arm that was stabbed by the dagger, retreated to the base of the wall, looked at us with blank eyes, and made a pitiful look. Lao Yang didn't give her a chance to breathe at all, snatched the dagger from my hand, and stabbed it with a shout, then Yang Xue couldn't avoid it, and was stabbed in the chest, and before she could even make a wailing sound, the whole person began to twitch.
However, in just over a minute, Yang Xue slipped and fell to the ground, looking dead.
Although I knew that this Yang Xue in front of me was her blackened in another space, it was also shocking to see her being killed by Lao Yang.
After Lao Yang succeeded, he was very calm, wiped the blood-stained dagger on the dead Yang Xue's clothes, and put it in his backpack. He looked at me indifferently, and was obviously a little annoyed by the shocked way I looked, and then said to me:
"It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, so I'm used to it, and now we have to find a way to dispose of the corpse so that they can't see it."
I was slightly stunned for a moment, and replied blankly:
"What about that?"
Lao Yang frowned, glanced at the ground, pondered for a few seconds, and then stepped on the mud and sand layer on the ground with his shoes:
"It looks like this layer of mud and sand is quite thick, try digging it with a pickaxe, and if it's deep enough, bury the body here."
It took us some time to dig through the sediment that had been deposited on the ground for years with a pickaxe, and we dug a tunnel to accommodate the corpses. Lao Yang asked me to help carry the body into the dirt pit and gently arrange the body, he hesitated for a moment, but still took out a life blanket from his backpack and covered the body. At the end, he gestured to me again, saying that this person is also Yang Xue, although he has turned black and is not from the same parallel space as us, but we should also maintain a little reverence for the deceased and mourn for a minute.
We stood in silence for about a minute, then filled the hole with the excavated soil, and on the way back, I asked Lao Yang what blackening meant.
Lao Yang looked at me in a little surprise and told me that in fact, blackening is a manifestation of a person's mental breakdown and falling into madness, and the Yang Xue we killed must have experienced the murder of people in her own space, so she became like this, and she should have learned the truth of the matter. Fortunately, she did not deliberately disguise herself, and she may have been immersed in great grief, otherwise we would not have been able to prevent it at all.
Thinking about it, if this blackened Yang Xue disguised herself as something else and tried to approach me, I would definitely not be suspicious of her, and I would inevitably be killed by her in the end, if Lao Yang hadn't discovered the abnormality in time, I would have died under the knife long ago.
Lao Yang and I didn't walk for long, and we came out of the cave and came to the hall where Yang Xue and Uncle Ma were. When I walked over, Yang Xue had fallen asleep due to excessive fatigue and injury, and I was afraid that she would catch a cold and fever, so I added my own life-saving blanket to her. I discussed it with Lao Yang, and said that I haven't rested for a long time, and everyone may be too tired to do it, so I think it's better to rest here for a few hours, and I'll sleep for a while when it's time to sleep, and I'll be on duty.
Lao Yang thought about it for a while, and then looked at Yang Xue who was in a coma, so he had to nod and agree, but he proposed to let me sleep with Uncle Ma, and he would be on duty. But I rejected his suggestion, because my situation is special, I don't need any sleep at all, and I don't feel tired at the moment, so I just take care of Yang Xue. Lao Yang glanced at me a little confused, probably feeling incomprehensible, but he still agreed to my suggestion, after all, he himself was too tired to do anything, and he urgently needed a little more sleep.
After Uncle Ma and Lao Yang got into their sleeping bags, it didn't take long for heavy snoring to sound all around. I sat alone, my pickaxe within reach, vigilantly watching my surroundings and thinking about what to do next. As far as the current situation is concerned, we can only enter the ice cave to find another exit, according to my understanding of the ice cave, this kind of special cave, there must be convection air with the outside world, mutual displacement, otherwise it is impossible to keep the low temperature in the cave, then, we just need to find the location of the mouth of the bag, we can climb out.
It's just that I'm really a little unwilling about the treasure, I've gone deep into the cave, and I've experienced all kinds of dangers, if I return empty-handed, it's really unreasonable. I wonder where all the treasures are hidden except for the boxes of gold bars and silver dollars scattered in the cave above, and if it is in the ice cave?
We won't be able to take all the treasures with us anyway, and it's unlikely that we'll be able to come in again, so as long as we can fill our backpacks, that's enough. However, all this must be done without endangering our lives, and if the danger is too high, then I would rather give up my treasure than lose my partner. Alas, let's take one step at a time, it is useless to make these assumptions now, after all, what the road ahead will be, there is no certainty at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Yang Xue who was falling into a deep sleep, her face was still pale, her brows were slightly frowned, I was afraid that she had some nightmare again.
I was fascinated, as if the old monk had settled down, and the whole person froze all of a sudden. I don't know when, faintly from the cave on the right came a sound of talking, and then a few bright lights slowly moved over, the leader of the person was very familiar, with the same figure and clothing as me, even the walking posture was no different from me, that every move was too familiar: I finally saw another me. To be continued.
