Chapter 16: The Fat Man Is Dead
After everyone ran to the intersection of the road in the distance, they all stopped in unison, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't speak.
"Why don't we take something casually and send someone as a pioneer to explore the way?" As the captain, Cui Jingxi looked at the crowd and did not react, and spoke first. He chose the safest method.
"I think so. The fat man was the first to support: "I listen to the captain, and I will do whatever the captain says." ”
"What about you?" Cui Jingxi looked at Xiao Yixuan and his girlfriend again, and then he got an affirmative response from the two of them.
"Let's listen to the opinions of Wizard Ye Miao. Cao Yuchen suddenly pointed at me and spoke.
"Ye Miao, what does he know, instead of listening to him, it's better to follow me in early. The fat man scoffed at this. I don't know why, this fat man has always been unpleasant to me, so I also have a bit of a fire. However, I still suppressed it, and Cui Jingxi, the captain of this group of college students, said: "This gives me a very bad feeling, from the perspective of feng shui, there are likely to be powerful ghosts here." So let's not venture into it, and there may be traps in this ancient tomb~"
"Huh. The fat man sneered, interrupted me and said disdainfully: "Then you go and catch your ghost, Lao Tzu will not accompany you." After saying that, the fat man took the lead and walked forward alone. Choi Kyung-hee smiled at me and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm going to keep my classmates safe." Then he chased after the fat man. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yixuan and his girlfriend also chased after him.
I was a little helpless, glanced at Cao Yuchen and Chen Yulu and said: "Actually, I don't want to go forward so recklessly, but they have already gone in, let's go in, and I will try my best to ensure everyone's safety later." With that, I went inside, and they looked at each other and followed.
The three of us kept a distance of about 50 meters from the four of them, and I was actually a little scared. I'm not afraid of some dirty stuff around me, because after all, there are yellow ghosts around me to help me guard against them, but some hidden mechanisms in the ground make it impossible for me to guard against them. So I deliberately distanced myself from them and asked them to help the three of us explore the way in front.
After walking for about half an hour, the lights in front seemed to stop, and then there was a burst of talking, as if they had encountered some disagreement. Seeing this, I hurriedly took Cao Yuchen and Chen Yulu to follow.
After walking up, I found that there were three roads ahead, and each road led in a different direction, but the size, width and narrowness of each road were the same, and there was hardly any difference in sight.
After seeing us coming, the fat man said with a disdainful face: "A few cowards are here, why don't you stay where you are, let your fat man explore the way for you, and when the fat man and I come back, you are going in." “
Cui Jingxi pulled the fat man and apologized to us: "This ...... The fat man seems to have some contradiction with you, but the fat man is actually a very good person, I hope you don't mind. “
"The four of us discussed it and found that there was little difference between the roads, but there were still some small differences, so in the end we decided to go in the middle. “
"The middle one, why?" I was a little confused.
"Say you're stupid, you're really stupid, you know such a simple truth, are you an elm head?" The fat man saw me asking, and said with an arrogant and disdainful face: "Look at the middle one, isn't it true that there is a lot of dust on the road?"
"yes, what's wrong?" Cao Yuchen was also a little puzzled, so I asked.
"I just said that fools are a disease and can be contagious, but you still don't believe it, but now you believe it?" The fat man was a little triumphant: "If you weren't blind, you would be able to see that there were many footprints on that large patch of dust? Does that prove that many people have walked this road? So this road must be the right way." Think about it slowly, you fat man, I'll go first. With that, the fat man walked forward on his short, thick legs.
"Captain, Xiao Yixuan, and sister-in-law, you hurry up and keep up. The fat man shouted as he walked.
Cui Jingxi and Xiao Yixuan looked at each other with his girlfriend, and then followed the steps of the fat man to chase over, during which Cui Jingxi also turned his head to look at me, beckoning us to hurry up and follow.
"Brother Ye, what do you say we should do?" Cao Yuchen asked anxiously as he pulled my sleeve, probably he was also more interested in the things buried in this ancient tomb.
"That's right, Brother Chen, what do you say? I'll listen to you. At this time, Chen Yulu also said, "That fat man is not a good person at first glance, he is quite arrogant, I don't want to be a couple with them." “
"Wait, let me think about it. I said calmly, then closed my eyes. The yellow ghost also sent a voice to me on the side: "Master, master." Do you want me to help you find your way? “
"No, I don't. I shook my head and said, "Although you are just a ghost, there may be some more powerful ghosts here than outside, so you can die if you are not careful." Also, I always feel that the fat man is missing some important information, and I think that I should be able to find the right way, so you don't have to take any risks. ”
I opened my eyes and looked at the road in front of me, with the dust and footprints on it, and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through my head, and I shouted, "I see." I know which way to go. ”
I've been meditating here for a while, so my shout startled Cao Yuchen and Chen Yulu. Then they also hurriedly asked me with a little excitement, "Guide Ye, which way should we go?"
"It's not a hurry, you tell me first, how long has the fat team been gone?" I didn't rush to answer them, and suddenly asked a little nonsensically.
"This ......" They were also a little confused, they didn't expect me to ask such a question, after coming back to their senses, Chen Yulu looked at his delicate hand and replied to me: "It's been half an hour." ”
"That'...... They're finished. "I'm a little decadent, although the fat man and I don't look at each other very well, but there is no point in making a life-and-death fight. Looking at Cao Yuchen and Chen Yulu's confused faces, I opened my mouth to explain: "Do you remember why the fat man chose the middle path?"
He said...... He said that there were more footprints on the middle road, so there must have been more people walking through. Cao Yuchen was the first to answer. "Yes, yes, that's what the fat man said," Chen Yulu next to him also nodded and added.
"You think. I was a little helpless and a little sad, and explained in a low voice: "Think about it, because there are so many people, I don't think it's better to choose which way to go in the middle." Judging from the number of footprints in this ancient tomb, it seems that many people have entered, but if you think about it, did these people finally go out?
If they all walked out alive, then the news of this tomb would have been exposed long ago, so where would you be busy with your work? So, now you follow me to the far right, and then wait for them at the exit. ”
After speaking, I took the lead in walking towards the road on the right, Cao Yuchen and Chen Yulu glanced at each other, and also followed me.
There was dust and soot everywhere, and I walked slowly into the cave. The quiet in this corridor is a bit weird, which makes people unconsciously sweat and hair, and often when one collapses, there will be heavy echoes around me, which makes my two eardrums "buzz ~ buzz" uncomfortable.
The only difference was that there was no pungent smell in the air as I guessed, only a strong earthy smell that seemed to fill the entire nostrils of the three of us with dust.
We take a foot deep. With a shallow foot, it finally took half an hour to walk out. As soon as I went out, my pupils tightened, and Cao Yuchen and Chen Yulu, who followed me, also grew their mouths.
Cui Jingxi's body turned red, and there was no trace of his previous white shirt. Xiao Yixuan and his girlfriend also collapsed on the ground, snuggling up to each other.
Hearing the footsteps, Cui Jingxi turned his head mechanically, and when he saw us, he said four words sadly: "The fat man is dead." ”
