Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Search for the Ancient Tomb

Liang Yuan, who was playing with his girlfriend in G City, suddenly felt his temples beating violently, he pressed his temples, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Jingjing saw that Liang Yuan didn't seem to be feeling well, so he hurriedly put down the mobile phone that was taking pictures and came over to ask.

Liang Yuan didn't know what was wrong with him, he just felt as if something bad was going to happen, and he was very panicked, but he didn't want Jing Jing to worry about his panic for no reason, so he shook his head and signaled that he was fine, "It's nothing, I guess it's a little heat stroke." As he spoke, he pointed to a chair on the side of the road, "I'll sit there and rest for a while, and you can take pictures here first." ”

Seeing that Liang Yuan was fine, Jingjing bought him a cup of iced milk tea, let him sit on a chair to rest, and went to the side to concentrate on taking pictures.

Liang Yuan drank a few large sips of milk tea, but still felt flustered, so he took out his mobile phone, called his parents to report his safety, and asked about the situation at home by the way.

The phone was connected, and Liang Yuan found that his parents were preparing lunch at home, and ended the conversation with him very impatiently. After making sure that his parents were fine, but the feeling of panic was still there, Liang Yuan thought for a while, and finally remembered that he still had a job.

Yu Youwei and Zhang Chongzhi had been driving on the road for more than three hours, and after receiving a call from Liang Yuan, Yu Youwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, glanced at Zhang Chongzhi with some weakness, and put on a Bluetooth headset before connecting the phone, "Hey? Isn't your circle of friends playing in G City? Why do you suddenly think of me? ”

"Weiwei, are you at the newspaper?"

"Me, I'm on the road, on a business trip."

"On a business trip?" Thinking of Yu Youwei, who was almost strangled to death by Chu Zixun last time, Liang Yuan somewhat understood where the sudden panic came from, "Yes, I'm going to Hongya Town in Bhikshu County." Yu Youwei was a little hesitant to tell Liang Yuan about the possibility of going to the tomb.

Liang Yuan quickly searched for this location on the map on his mobile phone, "This place has not been peaceful recently!" ”

"Huh?" Yu Youwei hadn't had time to inquire if anything unusual had happened in Hongya Town.

"I said casually, where we go, which one is peaceful, let's just go to investigate the trickery, hahahaha." Liang Yuan finally found Hongya Town on the map, "I went so far on this business trip, I wasn't there, you won't go with that newcomer, right?" ”

"Well, that's what you think." Yu Youwei peeked at Zhang Chongzhi again, and saw that he was concentrating on driving, not paying attention to his side, so he calmed down. Although she is just a partner, the person who is being replaced is not her, and she has a sense of betrayal of her old partner.

"I'm telling you, I was a little flustered just now, and I always felt that something bad was going to happen, didn't you go to do something dangerous this time?"

"Phew! Don't say these unlucky things in front of me! Hearing Liang Yuan say this, Yu Youwei unconsciously hid his true purpose of going to Hongya Town, "We're just going to find a few parties, what danger can there be, don't worry about it, take care of yourself." ”

hung up the phone and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal about his family and work, Liang Yuan didn't feel uncomfortable anymore, and happily caught up with Jingjing and accompanied her to continue to walk ahead.

Yu You, who had finished lying, said to Zhang Chongzhi uncomfortably, "It's Liang Yuan, he was playing outside with his girlfriend, and suddenly called me and said that he was flustered and asked what we were going to do, I think he was panicked after eating too much." ”

Zhang Chongzhi smiled, "Then why didn't you tell him the truth?" ”

Yu Youwei didn't know why, in fact, she had the same feeling as Liang Yuan, and always felt that this trip to Hongya Town would not be so simple, but in order to verify her thoughts, she still stubbornly continued to move forward, as if there was something in that place leading her forward.

"It's rare for him to take a vacation to accompany his girlfriend, so it's better not to let him worry." Yu Youwei replied calmly.

Zhang Chongzhi didn't speak again, just smiled and concentrated on driving.

It was already noon when they arrived in Bhikshu County, and Yu Youwei and Zhang Chongzhi decided to stop for a meal, fill up the car with gas and continue towards Hongya Town.

Seeing Yu Youwei's somewhat worried look, Zhang Chongzhi couldn't help but tease her, "What's wrong, Master?" Isn't it too tiring to see that I've been driving all morning? Planning to drive it yourself for a while? ”

Yu Youwei was in no mood to laugh, "Zhang Chongzhi, I just suddenly thought, why did I come here, you say, if those people really encountered something in Hongya Town, will we be like them?" Rapid aging and then dying? ”

Zhang Chongzhi patted Yu Youwei's head with the menu, "I don't know about myself, but I know you'll be fine." ”

"Why?" Yu Youwei was curious.

"Because you will definitely not be defeated by such a small thing, there are even bigger things waiting to bring you down!" Zhang Chongzhi teased with a smile.

Yu Youwei was still not amused by Zhang Chongzhi, "What about you?" Why are you here? ”

"Come and experience it, didn't you say that?" Zhang Chongzhi fiddled with the cup on the table and raised his eyebrows in reply.

"Oh, aren't you kidding? I don't know what's wrong, but I'm suddenly a little scared when I walk here, if something really happens to us, it's a death in the line of duty. ”

Zhang Chongzhi suddenly showed an expression of contempt that Yu Youwei had never seen before, "The small Hongya County can't keep my Zhang Chongzhi's life." ”

Seeing his expression, Yu Youwei somehow relaxed in her heart, she knew that this was Zhang Chongzhi's truest appearance. No matter how humble and gentle he is on the surface, Yu Youwei knows that those are not the real him, and this person who is so proud that he looks down on all things in heaven and earth is Zhang Chongzhi.

It was only an hour's drive from Bhikshu County to Hongya Town, and after chatting for a while, I ate a bag of potato chips, and the car entered the Hongya County toll station.

The infrastructure of Hongya Town and Boyan County can be said to be very different, it is a town that knows at a glance that everyone is poor, and a street lamp on the side of the road is crooked on the neck, which affects the appearance of the town for a long time.

"Are the people of this town living in such poverty while guarding an ancient tomb?" This is not the same as Hongya Town in Yu Youwei's imagination.

"Before the people from Boyan County came, the ancient tomb may have been just a legend, and if there is an ancient tomb, it is not necessarily that everyone is rich, maybe the people in the town know that there is nothing valuable in the tomb." Zhang Chongzhi guessed that there might be something in this ancient tomb, which was not useful to others, but useful to this group of tomb robbers.

Just as the two saw an express hotel and were about to stop and check in, Fang Wenqian's phone called.

"Reporter Yu, after I separated from you that day, I went to inquire about many people, and I probably knew why Lao Zhang and they went to Hongya Town."

"Really?" Yu Youwei was very surprised, sure enough, the greasy man's words were not credible, Fang Wenqian was still very reliable at this time.

"Yes, they took a deposit from a man, and the man offered 50 million for a mirror in the tomb."

"A mirror?"

"Yes, a bronze mirror, as for what copper mirror is worth so much money, none of the people I inquired about know."

Yu Youwei was silent, it seems that the most critical information is only known to those who are unconscious, thank Fang Wenqian, Yu Youwei hung up the phone, and found that Fang Wenqian also sent him an approximate location.

"We have a purpose." Yu You raised his mobile phone slightly, took it to Zhang Chongzhi and shook it, "What should I do?" Shall we wait and go, or tomorrow? ”

"Let's go and change into equipment first, let's go directly, I see that those people in Boyan County Hospital won't be able to survive for a few days." Zhang Chongzhi rarely has some humanistic care.

"Just what I want!" Yu You happily agreed, and followed Zhang Chongzhi to the trunk to get the equipment.

After changing her clothes, Yu Youwei looked around in the mirror, she was very satisfied with this look, but she felt a little hot. Zhang Chongzhi didn't know where he got the one-piece clothes like overalls, which felt like a coated waterproof fabric, and it was very stylish when he tied the belt. Yu Youwei flipped through the things on the table again, opened them one by one, and found some that he thought would be useful and put them in his trouser pockets, which reflected the goodness of the workwear at this time - there were really many pockets.

A delicate pouch was opened, and inside was a small dagger, and there was a buckle on the handle that could be pinned to the belt. Yu Youwei took the dagger in her hand and flipped it, it looked inconspicuous, it was quite heavy, she tried to use the dagger to shave the back of the chair, but it really cut off a piece, and she didn't use much strength at all.

"What a baby!" Rubbing the dagger, Yu Youwei liked it very much, "I don't know if Zhang Chongzhi can sell it to me at a low price." ”

When I walked out of the door, I met Zhang Chongzhi, who was leaning against the wall, carrying a big backpack diagonally, with his hands in his trouser pockets. His side face was beautiful, with deep eye sockets, a straight nose, and strands of hair on his forehead fluttering slightly with the wind in the hallway. Yu Youwei's breathing slowed down, she always knew that Zhang Chongzhi was very handsome, but until this moment, she didn't know that Zhang Chongzhi was so handsome.

"Here we are." Seeing Yu Youwei coming out, Zhang Chongzhi stood up straight and pointed to the bag on Yu Youwei's back, "What did you bring?" Such a big bag, do you want to bring snacks for spring outing? ”

Yu Youwei instantly woke up from his intoxication with beauty, and replied in a muffled voice, "Your bag is not small, I brought almost everything you gave me, and I also carried some food and drink." "She doesn't have any research on ancient tombs, and she doesn't even like to read novels about tomb robbing, and this kind of thing can't be checked on the Internet, so she can only bring everything, even if she brings more, it's better than not having it when she wants to use it.

Zhang Chongzhi just smiled, raised his hand and took off Yu Youwei's big backpack, "Let's go, it's important to hurry, I took a look, half of the journey has to be walked, don't wait for it to get dark, then we will really become tomb robbers." ”

The drive was very short, less than half an hour, and they arrived in an area that was inaccessible to cars, looking at the rugged path and the lush branches and leaves of plants on the side of the road, Yu Youwei suddenly wanted to thank Zhang Chongzhi for the equipment he had prepared for the two of them, it would be better if he could have a mask again.

"Yes."

Zhang Chongzhi's abrupt voice came from his ears, and Yu You almost thought that he had accidentally said his heart, "What's there?" ”

"Gas masks." Zhang Chongzhi replied naturally, "Aren't you worried about whether there will be miasma in the tomb?" I wore a gas mask, but it would be a little weird to wear it now. ”

"......" Yu You looked up at the sky and sighed, "Let's go, I don't know how long it will take." ”

Since there was no specific direction, the two of them could only keep circling around an area, for fear of missing a hidden entrance. But the aimless detour is not the hardest, the real hard thing is that in the hot summer, wearing breathable cargo Martin boots, walking through the impassable path, is simply physically and mentally miserable.

"I can't do it anymore." Yu Youwei sat on a big stone in the grass, "It's endless, my clothes are full of sweat, and I will soak my hair for a while." As he spoke, he dragged over the backpack that Zhang Chongzhi held in his hand and turned out a bottle of pure water, "If I knew this, I might as well come back at night." ”

Zhang Chongzhi was also a little dazed, leaned against her and sat down, "Yes, neither of us even took into account the big problem of temperature, maybe we haven't walked this kind of path, a little taken for granted, thinking that the place is small and can be found quickly." ”

Seeing Yu Youwei put the finished water bottle aside, Zhang Chongzhi picked it up without thinking about it and drank all the remaining water in the bottle.

Yu You looked at Zhang Chongzhi in a daze, but Zhang Chongzhi didn't seem to react, "What's wrong?" Look at me like that. ”

"Nothing." Yu Youwei didn't overdo it, she thought that maybe Zhang Chongzhi was stunned, and now the conditions are difficult, maybe all the water will be consumed in a while, Zhang Chongzhi is right to save water.

Yu Youwei picked up the stones and threw them into the distance, "When I finish throwing this pile of stones, let's go, if you sit down like this, you won't want to leave again." ”

Zhang Chongzhi keenly noticed that when a stone fell to the ground, it did not make a muffled sound like other stones, but a crisp sound.

"What's that?" Zhang Chongzhi got up and went to check, "There seems to be something here." He saw a very haphazard iron plate buried, as if someone had left it behind in a hurry.
