Chapter 15: Instant Death
"That's right, you see, there are many broken marks on the edge of the hole, all of them are new, because he should have knocked it open with internal force when he came out."
"You mean this hole is connected to the ancient tomb where my dad is trapped right now?" My voice trembled slightly, and suddenly I felt that I was very close to the old man.
"The wind and corpse qi blowing out of it are too heavy, and there will be no other reason except for the ancient tomb and the pit of the dead." After Peanut finished speaking, he sneered at the mouse, "You want to take the things and sneak in from here, right, the plan is good, continue to work hard." Patting the mouse, Peanut let go of the knee that was holding his belly again.
My heart suddenly shuddered, and I began to crawl towards the hole.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Old Tan grabbed me from behind.
"Nonsense, of course it's to go in and save my dad." I turned my head and yelled at him, "You let go." ”
"Damn, how do we get in that place? Do you want us to split you in two and then send you in batches? ”
After Lao Tan finished speaking, I was immediately deflated.
Peanut rubbed his neck, coughed dryly and said, "No, I can go into that place, hundreds of meters deep, I shrank my bones and tossed half my life." ”
"Shut the fuck up!" I casually scolded, "I don't know if the hole will be opened a little wider when the road comes out." ”
"Is there a mistake in it, making a hole in it? I just can't get out of it in the next life. ”
"You're still talking back?" Lao Tan then continued to scold.
I was also anxious at this time, and the thought that I could save my father by drilling through that hole, I longed to exchange bodies with the mouse.
The mouse went up the stairs stupidly, "I can't help it, I'm called by you like a dog, and the damn won't let me talk" The mouse muttered and continued to walk forward.
However, he had barely taken two steps when his body suddenly stiffened, and then he turned his back to us, trembling and covering his head with his hands.
"Damn, ** are you still coming?" Lao Tan was really angry this time, and he was about to squeeze between me and Peanut and beat him.
However, before he could start, the rat fell straight down the steps. He slammed his whole face on the steps, and the blood immediately burst out, and then, like a wooden stick, the mouse's body rolled down the steps.
We were all stunned, even Peanut looked incredulous. But because of the experience of the last time, the three of them were still on guard, and Peanut took off the backpack with one hand and threw it forward, stopping the mouse from continuing to slide.
The three of them stared closely at the rat that fell to the ground, and did not say a word for a long time. In fact, everyone is on guard against this kid in their hearts, for fear that as soon as we move, he will suddenly jump up from the ground. However, when I think about the way he just fell, I feel that if he is trying to lie to us, it is too realistic.
After the last day, Peanut slowly squatted down. He reached out and pressed the back of the mouse's neck, then gently flipped the mouse over. When I saw the mouse's face, my heart was cold. His face was scraped by the steps, his skin was peeled, and it was all blood, but his eyes were wide open, and his frozen pupils were full of pain.
Peanut pressed his hand on his neck for two seconds before slowly spitting out three words.
"He's dead."
"Dead?" I shouted with Old Tan.
"No, this was fine just now, how peanuts, shouldn't you have pinched too hard just now?" Lao Tan looked at Peanut in confusion and horror.
That's right, the only one who used the mouse just now was Peanut, but it's clear that Peanut didn't kill anyone.
"What the hell is going on?" I hope Peanuts can give us an explanation.
But Peanut didn't have the heart to answer our question, just crouched there and began to examine the body of the mouse. Old Tan glanced at me, meaning to let me be on guard. What happened in front of me was so sudden that I didn't know what to do. After being stunned for a while, I didn't even believe Peanut's judgment, and reached over to check the mouse's heartbeat and pulse. However, the end result turned out that the mouse was indeed dead.
Peanut thought to himself, suddenly lifted the mouse's head, and began to grope through the mouse's dirty hair. I saw that his hand suddenly stopped slightly behind the mouse's forehead, and then said, "The fatal wound is here." ”
Lao Tan and I glanced at Peanut suspiciously, hesitated for a while, and then touched the place on the mouse's head with our hands.
Sure enough, on the mouse's head, I felt that a skull on his forehead was missing, and the soft feeling made my scalp tingle. Peanut brushed away the mouse's hair, and I saw a very new bruise there. After seeing all this, I remembered that the mouse had just fallen off the steps, and at that time, he was indeed covering his head in pain.
"I didn't see him hit his head all the way, and, this, this is too sudden." I looked at Peanut even more confused.
"Maybe this kid did it before, and now it's just a sudden attack." Lao Tan said.
Peanut smiled faintly again and shook his head, "That skull was broken directly in the brain, but there was only a little bruise on the scalp, not even swollen. ”
"You mean the rat was beaten to death? "Subconsciously, I looked up at the top of the steps. The place where the mouse fell was the depths of this bend, and I didn't know if it was my own psychological effect, but I immediately felt that there was a gloomy atmosphere, as if there was someone hiding behind it. I lowered my voice, "Is there an ambush there?" ”
Lao Tan and Peanut both looked forward, and their breathing slowed down. If there is an ambush, then our situation is very bad. That person can kill the mouse without a trace without a trace when we are all watching, so if he wants to attack me and Lao Tan, or even Peanut, it will definitely not be too difficult.
When I think about it, I feel numb in my head. Dog's day, I didn't want to come here, and now, the only mouse who knows where the ancient tomb is located is dead. What do we do next? Spending here? Or do you want to go back and find another way?
"Let's go."
In distress, Peanut said this indifferently.
"Why don't we try to prevent it?" Old Tan had palpitations, and seemed to be extremely scared of the place around the corner.
Peanut looked at me, smiled and said, "The mountains are exhausted, and the willows and flowers are bright." ”
If I had thought before, Peanut would have been playing tricks again, but now, I instantly realized that these eight words he said were the most realistic way for us to move on - keep walking.
I must go to save my father, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will go. Now the mouse is dead, but as long as the goal remains the same, we must continue to follow the path he pointed out before his death. According to what the kid had done before, this road might even be a disguise, and if we go on, we will probably die, and we won't be able to find another way to the tomb in a short time.
But because of that, we have to keep going, and we have to pick up speed, because, we don't, it's that I don't have a choice.
Peanut picked up the backpack and rushed over first, I followed him closely, and Lao Tan reluctantly chased after him. The heart said damn it, that is, someone was ambushed, and there were three people on our side, and the other party was not Ximen Blowing Snow, where was it so easy to deal with us.
Turning the corner, I didn't see anyone, and my tense nerves couldn't help but relax. I suddenly wanted to thank Xie Xie Peanut, if it weren't for him, I might still be hesitating underneath.
"Flowers"
"I don't know if this road is really the entrance to the ancient tomb, if not, we will have to spend time looking for the location of the ancient tomb, so save your strength and hurry." Peanut didn't reply, and after finishing speaking, he rushed up the stairs at a completely different speed than before.
"Damn, you wait for us." Old Tan shouted from behind, urging me to hurry up and catch up with Peanut, probably he was still worried about a surprise attack.
Looking at Peanut's movements, I knew that he would definitely not wait for us like before. He wanted to walk through the narrow cave as fast as he could, so that he could determine if the entrance to the tomb was really ahead. I suddenly thought that Peanut might really be my father's old friend, otherwise, how could he be in such a hurry as I am as a son.
"Damn, he can't be my father's illegitimate son." This thought popped into my head.
After a few seconds, Tan and I were completely left behind by Peanut, and soon, we couldn't even hear his footsteps.
"Is this guy trying to slip away?" Lao Tan asked me as he hurried.
"No, it won't." I blurted out, and even I was startled when I said it. If there is no reason, for Peanut, it is the best thing for him to do now, so my affirmative tone is unreasonable. But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, at that moment, I actually felt a kind of trust in this person in my heart.
The road behind was steeper than before, and Lao Tan and I were so tired that we were out of breath, and we had no strength to speak. Three hours later, the two of us were climbing up on almost all fours. Just when I felt that my strength had reached the limit, I suddenly saw a ray of sunlight shining on my face above my head.
"It's an exit!" I suddenly became excited, and turned back to Lao Tan and shouted, "We're coming out!" ”
