Chapter 29—The Stars (1)

(Wake up early to write a chapter, I'm busy.) Continued on Monday)

In view of the fact that Lan just said that the male corpse was bitten to death by insects, the fat man and I walked very carefully on the rest of the road, and even rested for a short time, and did not dare to stop at all.

I walked through the corridors of the wooden building for more than an hour, during which time the doors of the rooms where the coffins were placed on the left were all pasted with anti-corpse charms to prevent corpses from rising.

"It's weird." The fat man said, "Could it be that the whole family has been transformed after death?" As I spoke, I saw the fat man walk to the door of the last room, and take a closer look at the corpse-suppressing charms. After looking at it for a while, the fat man turned back to me and Lan: "You say, this corpse transformation shouldn't be the tradition of this family, right?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Maybe there is some genetic disease in this big family, and there is something wrong after death. I said.

The fat man snorted and said that this reasoning was quite appropriate. Lan next to him said: "There is another possibility, anti-theft." ”

"Anti-theft?" The fat man and I looked at Ran. The fat man sighed, "Oh, I see." This is the same as the fact that there are vicious dogs inside, and it is forbidden to enter. ”

As soon as I saw that the fat man was talking nonsense again, I couldn't help but scold: "You're standing at the door of someone's house, can you accumulate some virtue?" Is there a metaphor for a dead person like a dog? ”

"You said it was a metaphor, and that's okay." The fat man waved his hand and told me not to care. I didn't bother to pay attention to the fat man, so I turned my face to look at Lan.

Lan stood by the handrail at the end of the hallway, looking at the darkness in front of him as if thinking about something. After noticing that the fat man and I were no longer talking, she came back to her senses, turned to look at us, then turned back to the darkness and continued to think.

"Hey, what is she doing?" I asked the fat man.

The fat man shook his head and said he didn't know.

Lan pondered for a moment in the darkness and then came back to his senses, looked at us and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a cave over there." As I said that, I saw her turn around and point to somewhere in the darkness, and then continued, "The burial chamber should be in that cave. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go." The fat man said. As I spoke, I saw him tighten his backpack and prepare to leave. But after walking a few steps, I found that Lan and I were standing still and asked, "Let's go." ”

"One last reminder, it's too late to go back." Lan said.

"Go back?" The fat man asked, "It's all here, go back?" What an international joke. After speaking, he paused, seemed to realize something, and asked again: "Sister Lan, we don't talk darkly." Fat man, I'm very curious about your identity. Who the hell are you? And you seem to be familiar with everything here. After the fat man finished speaking, he stared into Lan's eyes, indicating that he was not joking.

Lan stared at the fat man intently for about half a minute, and the fat man couldn't help blinking at first.

"I don't have to tell you who I am. If you insist on following, don't blame me for your death. Lan said. There was no trace of emotion in his tone: "I can sense danger in the cave." I can't protect you when this danger arises. ”

The fat man was not happy when he heard this, and said, "First, we didn't follow you, it's all the same as the route of travel. Second, we didn't say we wanted your protection. ”

I saw that the fat man was about to tear his face with Lan, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Hey, hey, you can't say that." It was fate to meet here. Besides, Lan has saved us so many times, we can't be ungrateful. ”

"Fate?" The fat man snorted, then Chong Lan hugged his fists and said, "You saved us, this fat man remembers it in my heart." When we see each other in the future, we must thank each other. Now, let's go our separate ways," said the fat man, who glanced at me, meaning to let me go with him.

I was stunned when I saw it, and I thought to myself, isn't this nonsense? Not to mention anything else, just Chong Lan's ability, following her is equivalent to having an extra powerful bodyguard.

The fat man saw that I was still hesitating, and said, "She said it herself, and she won't have time to protect us later." After speaking, he looked at me again: "We have a fateful friendship on the cliff suspension bridge, so you should choose her with me and yourself." ”

I thought to myself, how can I choose?

Just as I was still hesitating, I found that Lan had already packed up her things and left without saying a word.

"Well," said the fat man, "she has no friendship with you, and you follow her as a mere burden." After speaking, he patted me on the shoulder, and said in a soothing tone: "Let's go, I don't have to follow her to follow the fat master." ”

I looked at Lan's back and nodded, put on my backpack and followed the fat man forward.

The wooden building we were in was a bit of a trapezoid. After walking diagonally, the fat man and I were already out of the wooden building.

I glanced at Lan who was resting in a clearing not far away, then looked at the fat man walking in front of me, gritted my teeth and followed.

Scar.

Not long after walking, a cliff crossed me and the fat man. Below is the rushing underground river. If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the water rushing.

"How did you get there?" I asked the fat man.

The fat man also used his flashlight to shine under the cliff, but because he was looking down, and the only light source around him was our flashlight, there was no other reference at all. The fat man couldn't be sure how high this cliff was.

"Why don't you throw a glow stick down?" I asked.

The fat man shook his head and said, "No. Since there is a burial chamber on the other side, there must be a way for the mourners to pass through. Let's go up this river, and we should be able to find a way to get there. ”

I nodded, and followed the fat man up the cliff again. During this time, we stopped and repaired once, and it took about eleven or twelve hours. According to the fat man, we are very close to our destination, and we should ensure that we have enough physical strength to deal with what may happen.

Thanks to the fat man, I haven't slept since I entered this hellish place. It's not that I'm not sleepy, but every time I can't support it, there is always something that makes my nerves extremely tense and forgets my tiredness. But now, I finally have a respite. I split the work with the fat man a little, I slept first, and the fat man was on the first shift.

I'm really tired. As soon as my nerves relaxed, I almost fell asleep on the ground. I don't know how long I fell asleep in a daze, but I didn't dream anyway. It's weird. It stands to reason that I can still sleep so peacefully in such a strange place, in the words of the fat man later, that is, Tarzan collapsed in front of him without changing his face.

When I woke up, I switched shifts with the fat man. The fat man slept very vigilantly. He could wake up even with the very light action of getting up and peeing. But I won't mention it. Fat people come out to mix, and it's normal to be vigilant.

When the fat man woke up, we used the water we had brought with us and ate the compressed dry food.

After recovering our strength, we began to walk up the underground river again.

After walking for almost three hours, we finally saw a huge stone bridge across the cliffs.

"Yo, that's a big deal." The fat man said, "Let's go, fat man, I want to see what the person who can build a 100-meter stone bridge looks like." After saying that, he took the lead and went up to the stone bridge.

After experiencing the burning of the suspension bridge, I already had a sense of fear for the bridge in this place. It's just that for the sake of face, I trembled and got on the bridge with the fat man. But maybe it's all the bad luck we've been through before that. So this time I walked on the stone bridge, but nothing happened.
