Chapter Ninety-Five: Deliberation
"Big head, big group, why did you two get here?" Although I felt very excited about the arrival of the big head and the big group, I was still a little surprised. Didn't the person in charge surnamed Ma say that the two of them went to look for me separately outside, why did they come here again?
Before the two of them could answer my question, Kong Sanye behind him stood up and said to us, "Let's go back first, there are still people waiting over there." ”
"Third Master Kong, it turns out that you are also here, no wonder we have never heard from you." Datou and Datuan were just talking to me just now, and didn't notice Kong Sanye beside them, at this time, they felt very surprised to see Kong Sanye, and they were a little excited, after all, the two of them could be regarded as having experienced life and death with Kong Sanye.
"Alright, let's go back first." After Kong Sanye finished speaking, he turned around and walked back with a flashlight, and the hand holding the dragon pattern knife was obviously relaxed.
The arrival of the big head and the big group also caused a lot of excitement. Datou and Datuan were originally people who loved to be lively, and the people brought by the person in charge surnamed Ma were also known to Datou, although they fell asleep, they were woken up by Datou and Datuan one by one and said hello.
Xiao Wu was obviously a little uncomfortable with this lively scene, and he didn't know any of these people, so it was difficult to integrate into them. Just sat next to me without saying a word, looking at the scene over there.
"Xiao Wu, it's going to be dawn soon, you go sleep for a while, now that there are so many of us, there will be nothing wrong." Although I said so, Xiao Wu still looked at Kong Sanye, who was next to him and didn't say a word, and saw Kong Sanye nodding at him, before running to the archaeologist's side and lying down.
"Hadron son, what are you going to do next?" Kong Sanye's words surprised me a little, didn't this matter be said, and then find a way out at dawn, and then go to find the Qinchuan Blood River.
I looked at Kong Sanye suspiciously, wondering why he asked. Kong Sanye picked up an unburned firewood stick from the fire, scratched it on the ground, and ignored me.
"Third Master Kong, what do you say you should do?" I knew that Kong Sanye must have his intentions when he asked like this, but he refused to take the initiative to say, so I had to ask him.
"Wait a while, the big head and the big group will come over, and we'll discuss it again." The firewood stick in Kong Sanye's hand still didn't stop, and continued to scratch on the ground.
Called the two people over and told the others to continue sleeping. Datou and Datuan sat down opposite me and Kong Sanye, and I was moved by the tattered clothes, but I didn't expect the two of them to look like this in order to find me.
"Datuan, big head, do you two want to go and change that outfit first, your butts are exposed." I pointed to the tattered clothes on them, which were really unclothed.
"It's okay, it's not too late to go back when I'm done, anyway, it's all big men here. Qiangzi, what are you calling us both over? The big head smiled, looking indifferent, and the big group over there listened to the big head's words and nodded in agreement.
Seeing the two of them asking, I looked at Kong Sanye, and when Datou and Datuan saw that my eyes turned to Kong Sanye, the two of them also looked at Kong Sanye together.
"Big head, big group, what are you doing here, you two know it. The fewer people who know about this, the better, and the four of us who know here are, I mean, tomorrow when we go out, the four of us go alone, what do you think? "Although Kong Sanye asked what you think, he stared at me tightly.
No wonder Kong Sanye asked me what I was going to do next, it turned out to be this reason. What Kong Sanye said is right, the matter of finding grandpa really can't be known to too many people, especially the force behind Zheng Wen. They are also planning to find their grandfather, and they have been looking for it since the three-phase tomb, so there must be some conspiracy.
"So how do you get rid of them?" I sat next to Kong Sanye and pointed to the archaeologist and apprentice who were sleeping on the ground, and the person in charge surnamed Ma who was carrying them.
Kong Sanye leaned against the wall behind him, threw the firewood stick in his hand into the fire and said to me: "It depends on what you say, I don't care." Datou and Datuan over there also shook their heads, it seemed that the two of them would not give me much advice, as long as I made a decision, they would go with me.
I didn't have any good ideas for a while, and when I saw that several of them were also very sleepy, I got up and stood up and said to them: "Everyone has been tired all night, and now the sky is about to dawn, and there are so many people on our side, there is no need to keep vigil, let's go and sleep for a while." ”
Datou and Datuan looked really sleepy, so they casually found a flat slate, used their backpacks as pillows and fell asleep directly, without even changing their tattered clothes.
I was lying there, thinking about what Kong Sanye said, there are so many people here now, but it is not conducive to my action to find my grandfather, it is easy to leak, the goal is too big.
And that mysterious force, there are several teams, dozens of people don't know where they are now. The most important thing is that Zheng Wen is also over there, and he may appear at some point. If I continue to be with these people, there's a good chance I'll leak out. This is not good news for going to grandpa.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt a little breathless, very uncomfortable, and woke up all of a sudden. It turned out that the big head pinched my nose, and when I saw that it was already bright outside, I got up and moved my body.
A few people over there had already started to eat, and the archaeologist had also woken up, Xiao Wu was standing beside Kong Sanye with him, talking to the person in charge surnamed Ma, and while talking, he pointed to the big tree behind him, and the big tree was already full of firewood.
Then I remembered that the first thing I did when I got up in the morning to continue looking for a way out was to destroy this big tree, and the dry wood beside the tree was the one we had picked up last night.
"Qiangzi, you eat something first, then pack all your luggage, and we're ready to go." When Kong Sanye saw me coming, he opened his mouth and said to me.
After casually dealing with two sips and drinking some water, when the backpack was not sorted out, the fire on Kong Sanye's side had already been lit. All of us stood there, looking at the big tree. The fire was getting bigger and hotter, and we retreated a long way to get better.
Big Head and Big Tumble had changed their clothes, and although they were old, they were much better than their rotten strips that could no longer be worn. The two of them stood on my left and right respectively, and asked me, "Qiangzi, why did Kong Sanye burn this tree?" This tree looks like it's at least four or five hundred years old, and it's a pity that it burned. ”
Before I could answer, the tree was uprooted and fell in the direction opposite us, knocking down a dozen walls. And after the tree fell, the air around me was obviously different, it was not as depressed as it was just now, it was a lot more vivid, and people couldn't help but want to take two more breaths.
Such a change made the big head and the big group and the people in charge with the surname Ma all stunned, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.
"Qiangzi, is this the reason why Kong Sanye destroyed this tree?" The big head looked at me with some doubts, although the air was a lot fresher, but there was no need to burn the trees.
"Actually, it's like this, burning trees is to get out of this labyrinth. You may not know it when you first come in, but it's easy to get in here, but it's hard to get out. No matter how you go, you can't get out. Later, Kong Sanye saw that this was a formation, and there were countless small formations in the formation, and these ancient trees were the foundation and eyes of the formation, as long as these trees were destroyed, we would be able to go out. As I spoke, I picked up my backpack and walked with the person in front of me.
After the tree fell, Kong Sanye directly ordered the people in front of him to extinguish the fire first, and then walked forward along the road that the ancient tree smashed open.
Seeing me walking forward, Datou and Datuan followed. Xiao Wu originally wanted to walk behind with me, but although the archaeologist is getting better now, his body is a little weak and needs him to take care of him, and Kong Sanye hopes that the archaeologist will walk in the front with him, so that he can check the way out at any time.
In addition, Datou and Datuan have been following me all the time, and he seems to be a little embarrassed to come to me. I don't have anything to say about all this, I just think it's funny.
"Qiangzi, have you told them what you wanted?" Datou and Datuan walked a few steps forward and asked side by side with me.
I'm worried about this now, and I really can't find any excuse to talk to them. It is definitely impossible to take them with you, it seems that you have to think about this matter.
In less than half an hour, we arrived at the next place, this tree does not look very big, about a meter in diameter, like a new one later, much more tender than the four or five hundred years old tree before.
This time we didn't pick up firewood to burn, because there was no need, there were about a dozen people on our side now, even if the archaeologists and Kong Sanye didn't do it, there were eight of us, taking turns to pick up the knife, enough to cut down the tree.
Datuan pulled out the Tang knife, and seeing that Datuan wanted to use the Tang knife to cut down trees, I secretly cursed in my heart that it was really a waste of this treasure. Before I could stop it, there was someone who preceded me.
I saw the archaeologist, after seeing the Tang knife in Datuan's hand, his eyes were straight, and he was extremely weak just now, but at this time, he came to Datuan's side very quickly, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and took a closer look. While looking at it, he flicked it lightly with his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "This is a Tang knife, a real Tang knife, you actually used it to cut down trees, and it really ruined things." ”
Datuan originally wanted to see who dared to snatch the knife from him, but after seeing that it was an archaeologist, he immediately stopped talking, the archaeologist was a lot old, and Datuan was also a dutiful person, and he respected the old man very much, and stood there and let the archaeologist scold him for being a loser.
I had no choice but to hand the short knife in my hand to Da Tuan and motioned for him to use it. It wasn't an antique, it was just a woodcutter I had picked up in a village outside the mountains.
Ten minutes later, a few of us finally brought down the tree. Just as the tree was down, all of a sudden the ground started to shake violently, and we all fell to the ground.
I have all the thoughts of scolding, why did there be an earthquake at this time, there are stone walls all around, we fall to the ground now, if the stones on the wall fall, it is not a joke.
The vibrations came and went quickly, tightly for two or three seconds. What surprised me was that the stone wall did not collapse due to such a strong vibration, and we were still standing up intact.
"Third Master Kong, what's going on, why doesn't it look like an earthquake, the walls haven't collapsed." I went over and helped Kong Sanye, who was lying on the ground, to help him pat off the dust on his clothes and asked.
Kong Sanye also patted the ashes on his body and said, "That's not an earthquake at all, if there is an earthquake, it is estimated that we will not survive." That's just the vibration caused by the formation being cracked, judging from the vibration just now, it is estimated that the broken formation this time is a relatively large formation. ”
