Chapter Seventy-Three: Leaving the Tomb
Seeing Zheng Wen and Uncle Zheng surrounded by those tens of thousands of Gu worms, I still felt uncomfortable in my heart. After all, we have experienced so much together in the ancient tomb, born and died, and now it is very likely that heaven and man will say goodbye forever.
However, when I thought of Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen just now, they almost killed Datuan and Datou, and the discomfort in my heart faded a lot.
Datou Datuan and I have been walking along the footprints on the ground, which were left by Kong Sanye and Crooked Mouth, who came in before. Kong Sanye was injured in his leg, so one footprint was deep and the other was shallow.
However, it is precisely because of the dust precipitation of more than 1,000 years in this tomb, and the fact that there is not much humidity on this section of the road, that the footprints can be so obvious that we will not be looking for them all the way after entering the tomb.
The stone steps were going down at first, and after turning a corner, they went all the way up, and the slope was relatively steep, about 60 degrees. We had eaten all the food before, and we had consumed a lot of energy, so it was very difficult to walk this part of the stairs now.
Datuan panted in front and walked up, turning around and asking, "Qiangzi, did you say that Zheng Wen and the two of them died inside?" ”
I shook my head, indicating that I wasn't sure either. After all, we didn't see them die in front of them, but it must have been difficult to survive in that situation.
It's the big head, and now he still has a stomach full of anger, and said to the big group: "You deserve to die, who is so bad in their hearts, if it weren't for the last reminder of the two of them, maybe it would be the two of us who died now." ”
Listening to Datou's words, Datuan also nodded. The two of them still remembered that just now on the side of the Nine Coffins Breaking Killing Array, Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen pushed the two of them out. If it weren't for the luck of the two of them, if they had known this Gu worm, they might have become a pile of dry bones by now.
And if it weren't for the two of them to lure those Gu worms over, I might be being held by Zheng Wen's knife around my neck now, walking on this tomb road, how could it be so easy now.
The path is all steps and is very rugged, and the section of the cemetery road in front of it is still relatively dry, but the further up you go, the wetter it becomes, and the more difficult it becomes.
A few of us were already in rags, and Datou and Datuan simply took off their shoes and carried them in their hands, and walked up barefoot.
After walking for about ten minutes, the stairs still stretched upward, and it seemed that this was really the way out. Although I am still tired, my heart is extremely relaxed.
The footprints of the crooked mouth and Kong Sanye in front have been broken, it's not that they haven't walked here, but it's already relatively humid here, and there are small streams of water flowing down the road.
Seeing that the water was not very muddy, the big head picked it up and washed his face, and then sighed: "It's so cold." Seeing that the big head washed his face and feet, I was also interested, and picked up a handful of water and wiped it on my face, only knowing that it was water, but not whether it was hot or cold. It seems that after going out, I have to find Leng Sanye to help.
Datuan also followed our example and took the water to wash, but when everyone's flashlights shone on each other's faces, everyone laughed at the same time.
I saw that the faces of the big masses and the big heads had become big faces because of the washing just now. I believe that I am no better than them now, and maybe my face is more flowery than theirs.
"Datuan, big head, don't leave after you go out, come with me to do something." I picked up my clothes and wiped them on my face, and said to the big head and the big ball.
"What's the matter?" Da Tuan learned from me like Datou, picked up his clothes and wiped his face, and asked me in unison.
"Of course, it's a matter of dividing the money." I pretended to be relaxed and said, but in fact, I was thinking about another thing, which was to go to see Brother Li's daughter and send the money to them.
Datuan looked at me and Datou and laughed, took out an item from his backpack and said, "If you want to divide it, let's divide this together." I looked at Datou and I was a little shocked, and what the big group took out of the backpack turned out to be the dead and alive gold brick that they had been fascinated by.
Datou looked at Datuan, and said with a light punch in his chest: "I didn't expect you kid to really have a hand, we didn't pay attention to things, and you took it." ”
Da Tuan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Isn't it a piece to divide now?" Do you want the gold, or do you want to wait out and sell this guy and split the money? ”
"Of course it's money." The big head said unceremoniously, and then let out a strange laugh: "Damn, it's developed now, hundreds of thousands, enough to spend in this life." ”
At the end of the nineties, hundreds of thousands were really a lot of money. Datuan and I looked at the big crazy head, shook our heads, and continued up the rugged steps, as if there was no end to them.
We're in a good mood now, and I don't think about the things in the tomb anymore, but look forward to the time after I go out with the big head group.
"Datuan, you are from here, what is delicious here, my fucking hungry heart is close to the back." The big head said that he was eating, and he was especially spiritual.
"We have a lot of delicious food here, what Tang steamed pork, Wuchang fish, Yunmeng fish noodles, Bangbang chicken, everything is delicious, and our duck neck here must be tasted." What Datuan said was all delicious food, and I started to drool when I heard it, and the big head was not much better.
Seeing our greedy look, the big group came to the spirit, no matter how it is the master, he generously shouted: "I'll treat you when you go out, let you eat enough." ”
"That's what you're waiting for, haha." I was in good spirits at this moment, and said jokingly to the group. There was a little more laughter along the way.
After walking for about ten minutes, I didn't even go out, and the water under my feet was getting deeper and deeper. Voices can already be heard flowing down from above. Datuan turned back to us and asked, "Datuan, Hadron, how many days have we been in?" ”
A cold question actually stopped us, and we really don't know how many days we have been in. The watch has long been broken, and in those days, mobile phones were rare, or the big brother's style was expensive, and there was no more to say about the function that could display the date.
I could only estimate the time by myself, and replied to Datuan: "It's about seven or eight days, what's wrong?" The big head and I looked at Datuan with puzzled expressions.
Hearing that it had been about seven or eight days, Datuan's face became more solemn, he put the gold bricks into his backpack, picked up the backpack and said to us: "Run, talk as you go." "After saying that, I started to run forward, and before I could figure out the situation, we saw that the big group had already run forward, and we followed after it.
When he caught up with Da Tuan, Da Tou asked breathlessly: "Da Tuan, what's the fuck going on with you, why did you run away now when you were fine just now?" ”
Datuan's body still didn't stop, and continued to run forward, panting as he ran, he replied: "Qiangzi, big head, this ancient tomb is under the Eli River, and when we came in, the Eli River was in the dry period, so there was nothing to do." But now that seven or eight days have passed, the dry period of the Eli River is about to pass, and we may drown here if we don't leave. ”
"And the water on this staircase is probably coming down from the cave where it's raining outside. If the river overflows the hole, there's a good chance we'll be feeding the fish here for the rest of our lives. No wonder there is no trace of Crooked Mouth and Kong Sanye, now I know that they found this phenomenon and left in advance, Crooked Mouth is also a local, and he will definitely understand. ”
After listening to the words of the group, our speed increased by a few notches. I managed to crawl out of the dangerous part of the tomb, but I didn't want to be washed back here to feed the fish.
Finally, after ten minutes, we reached the exit. It was already dark outside, and sure enough, it was raining. When we first arrived at the entrance of the cave, we were startled when we saw a figure. After carefully seeing that it was a crooked mouth, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Crooked Mouth was waiting at the exit of the place, and there was no figure of Kong Sanye, I asked a little strangely: "Crooked Mouth, why are you alone, Kong Sanye?" ”
Crooked Mouth handed me a packet of things before speaking; "Third Master Kong left by himself, let me wait for you here. This thing was given to you by Kong Sanye, saying that it can cure your problems. ”
I know that the problem of crooked mouth refers to the problem of not knowing heat and cold, and not knowing the pain. Crooked Mouth was also in this state, and I asked him, "What about you?" ”
Crooked grinning, raised his hand in front of me twice, and said, "I have been woven by Kong Sanye here." "I saw two marks on the crooked hand that had been cut by a knife, which seemed to be done by Kong Sanye.
"What about Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen?" Seeing that Zheng Wen and the others did not come out with us, he asked with some confusion. When the big head heard the crooked mouth and asked Zheng Wen, the two of them were a little unhappy and said, "They are dead." ”
Crooked Mouth heard the big head say that Zheng Wen and Uncle Zheng were dead, and asked in surprise, "How did you die?" "Datuan has the best relationship with Crooked Mouth, and told him all the things that happened after Crooked Mouth and Kong Sanye left. Crooked Mouth is not a very good person to express emotions, so he just nodded slightly.
"Let's go, crooked mouth, let's divide the money together." Seeing that everyone had come out safely, Datuan took the gold brick out of his backpack again.
"It's you, no wonder I couldn't find it when I left." When he said this with a crooked mouth, his face was a little red. After a few of us heard the words of the crooked mouth, there was a burst of wild laughter, but I didn't expect that the crooked mouth also had such a time, and the crooked face was even redder by our laughter.
