Xiangxi Suspicious Tomb Chapter 7 Resurrection from the Dead (2)
I stopped Professor Li and said helplessly, "Why did you forget why we came?" There are bandits in the tomb besides us, you follow the team, just don't lose it. I'm still saying the same thing: when the time comes to the official excavation, you can study as much as you want, but at the moment, safety comes first, and you must be cautious. ”
Wang Qingzheng walked in front with his people, one of whom I looked a little familiar with, and then I remembered that this tall black brother was the leader of the mercenaries who followed Wang Qingzheng to the airport to arrest people that day. Another white man, Owen, was a new face, and he was in command of the daytime assault to retake camp. I asked Wang Dashao: "Is there any contact information to find the old man?" ”
"Originally, there was a walkie-talkie, but it was broken when they exchanged fire with Guo Weiguo. Now I don't know what part of them are going, and I have to rely on myself to find someone. ”
"There is a floor plan, but only half of it is a fragment, which my grandfather drew from memory. I had a copy in my hand, some of the handwriting on it was blurred, and I guess he didn't understand what it meant when he first read it. "We did a small assembly in front of Shinto, and Wang Qingzheng unfolded the map and spread it on the ground, and Professor Li couldn't wait to stick his head on it. I half-crouched beside him, piggybacking on it, and found that this was half a fragment, and judging from the edges and scales already on the sketch, it was the tip of the iceberg. Master Yu once speculated that the area of the base of Tomb No. 1 is more than 1,000 square meters, and this real Qin tomb is estimated to be even larger than Tomb No. 1.
I asked Professor Li if he could understand the small characters on the drawing, and he stared at it for a while and said, "The characters on the drawing are copied, and they are photocopies, so I can't understand them." But there are a few places where the graphics stand out, such as here," he said, pointing to the bottom straight line, "and here it says that the total length of Shinto is missing one thousand miles, and it leads directly to Jinluan. Although this is an approximation, it is estimated that the actual distance will not be short. It's better to be mentally prepared. ”
Shirley Yang cheered up and said, "Since it is a direct access to Jinluan, at least it means that we don't have to take a detour, just follow the path of God." ”
I reminded everyone: "Although there is a clear way to go, after all, it is a giant mound of the imperial tomb, and the tomb must be equipped with traps such as pins, flying sand and fire, etc., and you have to guard against it." "The fat man is injured, but he still insists on following, I guess he still wants to play a hero in front of Lin Fang to save the beauty.
Considering that the Japanese came prepared, Wang Qingzheng equipped us with M16 rifles, in his words, little Japan wanted to fight with him, it was still two years earlier. According to the old habit, I still formed a single column and asked everyone to march along the main road collectively on the right. The black brother took the initiative to ask for help, to escort us at the bottom. Later I learned that he was from the regular army and had been a squad MG, that is, a machine gunner. I don't know if the Wang family really wants to find the legendary Jin Ding, anyway, I don't believe a word of his theory of immortality, so even if everyone is in the same team now, they are still wary of him and those two Americans, and no one can guarantee that he will not put a cold gun behind his back.
The fat man patted me and asked, "Why do you keep your face tight, and you are also worried about Lin Fang's safety?" ”
"Lin Fang and Old Man Wang are not characters to be messed with, if you want to talk about safety, it is those Japanese who ask for more blessings."
The fat man coughed, pointed to the Shinto surrounded by darkness and said, "It stands to reason that we are not for fame or profit this time, and our hearts should be more relaxed than before, why do my brows always jump." Don't say you can't laugh, even I'm inexplicably irritable, I don't know what's going on. ”
Shirley Young picked up his rifle and twisted his wrist: "For the sake of the good of the name, I know what I'm asking for, it's like we're completely in the dark and dragged into the water." Anyway, I thought about it, and when I find Lin Fang to figure things out, let's go. To be honest, I don't feel good either, and I don't want to spend it like this anymore. ”
As soon as I saw that the topic was getting heavier and heavier, I quickly kicked Wang Dashao and urged him to leave. This kid really doesn't treat himself as an outsider, so he beckoned his white brother and took the initiative to step forward to explore the way for us. I remembered what he said when he was in the camp, and he really brought two thunderbolts with him.
Professor Li was interested in doing some collection and research along the way, so I persuaded him: "The little devil has already entered the village, and the grain and the flower girl need our protection." If you continue to grind like this, you will delay the opportunity, how will you explain to the organization when you go back? ”
Professor Li glanced at me and criticized me for not being strict, but he still put away his work diary, put the pen back in his pocket, and said, "The walls of both Shinto walls are covered with mud, and I can't find the slightest gap." ”
"You mean it was a sealed environment?"
"Yes, if it weren't for someone forcibly intruding from the outside world, this tomb should have maintained its original most intact state, but unfortunately, with human activities, the air gradually poured into the tomb, you pay attention, the archway above our heads, has the color changed?"
I looked along the searchlight, and the original Qin Kai archway with gold depictions had really become dull, and gray and broken traces slowly appeared on the edge of the handwriting. Professor Li sighed: "This is an inevitable loss in the archaeological process. After saying that, he urged me to hurry up and get on the road. I said in my heart, if you hadn't always remembered where you went, we would have left the Shinto and entered the main hall a long time ago. However, I am thankful that Professor Li is willing to move, so naturally I don't dare to say much, and I take him to catch up with the vanguard quickly.
The advantage of a single column is that it is not easy to get separated at night, which is exactly what we are in now. However, this basic formation is most afraid of side strafing, and when it comes to fighting, it basically sweeps and falls. However, when we are in the tomb, we basically can't encounter that kind of large-scale fire, but it will be more troublesome to get separated halfway. People are prone to hallucinations in a dark and sealed environment, and their judgment will be frequently wrong, so encouragement and help from peers are necessary. The black brother at the bottom was very dedicated, and kept looking back not far in front of us, and when he saw us following, he smiled slightly, showing a mouthful of big white teeth. To be honest, this black brother has a strategic advantage, especially when he is not speaking, he can naturally blend into the dark environment, and he can hardly feel such a person without looking closely. I finally understand the reason why Wang Dashao is so relieved to hand over the rear to him.
Professor Li has experience of exile abroad, and he does not speak English. He said a few words to the black GI and then said to me, "We have distanced ourselves from the vanguard, and we must hurry after us." ”
The old man knew he was in a hurry now, and dragged me all the way to trot, leaving behind my simple and simple black brother. Professor Li is too old to exercise vigorously, so I have slowed down out of understanding. But the people were not happy, so they had to show the strength of the Red Army 25,000, throw up their arms and stride forward. I had to follow him closely, and it didn't take long for me to catch up with Shirley Young's back. Several others were standing in place, seemingly waiting for us. Shirley Yang complained when he saw me: "I said that I was the leader, but I was the first to lose it, and everyone was waiting for you." ”
I was busy explaining the situation, at this time, Professor Li's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't stop gasping for air, I was about to stroke his back when he was running too fast and was about to stroke his back, but the old man grabbed my arm tightly and said, "Dead, he's dead...... - I was made my scalp tight by this sudden words, and then I found that Professor Li's hands were covered with blood, and the slightly cuffed part was also stained red. As soon as the others saw that the situation was not right, they immediately gathered around. Professor Li's feelings were very excited, and he wanted to speak but kept stammering, and he couldn't wait to lie on me. Shirley Young shouted, "Spread out, untie the neckline, breathe, give him air." ”
The fat man moved the fastest, and without saying a word, he ripped off the buttons on his collar. Wang Qingzheng and Owen also ran back from the front, and when they saw Professor Li slumped on the ground, they hurriedly asked what was going on. I was just fanning Professor Li, and I didn't have time to explain it to him, when I heard the fat man spreading rumors on the side: "Hey, don't mention it." A white shadow floated by, and a female ghost with black hair and a red tongue circled his head......-
Wang Qingzheng was taken aback: "Haunted, haunted? ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense, scare you." Shirley Yang nudged the fat man, and then took out a bottle of cool oil. I wiped Professor Li's temple twice, and the old man slowly calmed down, gasping for breath and saying, "That, that black man, he's dead, he's a dead man." ”
"No, you're dazzled, aren't you? Didn't he just talk to us? "I was taken aback by Professor Li's sudden words, and the others were even more confused.
Professor Li grabbed my arm again and said: "Look at it, this is his blood, I was talking to him at the time, he smirked vigorously, I stepped forward and touched it, you see, you look at these blood ...... - Professor Li has been engaged in scientific research all his life, and it is estimated that he has never experienced such a strange situation. I asked the fat man to fan him and apply cool oil, then stood up and said to Shirley Young, "We were walking slowly just now, and we met the black man at the bottom, and Professor Li seemed to say something to him, and then he picked me up and ran." "I was stained with a lot of blood by Professor Li, and my clothes were red, and ordinary people would have been in a coma long time ago after so much blood, and when I thought about it like this, the bright smile of the black soldier in my memory suddenly became extremely hideous.
Wang Qingzheng was completely confused, he shouted: "Which one are you playing, my people?" What about the Hanks? ”
This happened less than a quarter of an hour after entering the tomb, and I was more anxious than he was. "Professor Li said that the man was injured, let's go and find it." I always felt that there was something else going on, and it wouldn't be as scary as Professor Li had described. Maybe the black Hank just accidentally got hurt somewhere? But if that was the case, how could he smile at us so calmly, and why did Professor Li run away like a ghost?
Wang Qingzheng didn't understand how his subordinates were injured, it's not that I don't want to explain to him, but I was stunned when the words came to my mouth, how to explain the strange and chaotic things? I can't sue him, if you go well, and when you turn around, your black brother will shed blood all over the ground without warning, right? No one will believe this when they hear it. So the best thing to do is to say nothing and try to find Hank to find out what happened.
I left Shirley Young where she was, let her take care of Professor Li, and then took the fat man and Wang Dashao back the same way, ready to go to Hank, the black man. The fat man listened to me about the situation just now, and was puzzled: "That black brother can't be a, you know, there will be a few days......-
Wang Dashao thought for a few seconds as if he was serious, and finally hesitated: "This, I haven't been in contact with it much, and I don't know very well." ”
The fat man laughed on the spot, and I said helplessly: "The fat man just enlivens the atmosphere, you really think about it." With Hank's physique, if it were really a woman, I would have crashed to death in the grave without looking back. ”
"So what the hell is going on? I've been at the front, and you've not noticed anything behind you. ”
"Don't say you don't know, I didn't even see it clearly when I was next to them. The guy was as black as a briquette, and he couldn't even find anyone if he didn't look closely. ”
I desperately recalled the conversation, Professor Li and Hank were very close, and the two seemed to say a few words, and then Hank began to smile at us, and then Professor Li pulled me away under the pretext of being out of touch with the army. In this way, Professor Li had already seen the clue when he was talking to Hank, so he chose to run away in a hurry. As I thought about it, my feet slipped, and I stepped on something, and I almost fell. The fat man and Wang Dashao came forward to shine a flashlight, and the three of us were suddenly speechless.
The granite-paved Shinto Road was stained with a thick, bright red liquid that anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was blood. I lifted my foot and saw that the blood was already showing signs of clotting. The fat man said, "There is really blood, people should be nearby, look for it quickly!" ”
Wang Dashao shouted a few times, but there was no response, I looked for other bloodstains on the ground, trying to determine where Hank was now, but there were no other clues around me except for the large bloodstains under my feet.
"It's weird, he was not lightly injured, didn't he ask you for help at that time?" The fat man turned around from the other side, "This road is flat, and there is nothing to hide, he didn't catch up with us, is it possible to go back?" ”
"Impossible." Wang Qingzheng shook his head and said, "I don't know my person yet, this thing doesn't make sense, let's find it again." ”
