Chapter 1: Night Walking

Next Chapter

The bright moon hangs high, the night is like ink, and the rugged and spiraling path, the woods on both sides are dense and flourishing, but in the dark night, like the tentacles of evil spirits, waving and writhing.

Not far away, two flickering lights and flames, as if they could be extinguished at any time, suddenly appeared at the corner of the path, and there were two figures faintly. One was fat and one was thin, and when the two of them got closer, they could see clearly, and it was clear that they were just two fifteen or sixteen-year-old young men.

But whether it is a fat man or a fat man, they are all tattered clothes, patches are all over, and in some places the skin inside is directly exposed, not so much as clothes, I am afraid that it is not even a complete sack.

The fat man hid behind the thin boy with some trembling bodies, and behind his chubby body was a wooden frame woven of small wooden strips, in which there were several tools with only wooden handles exposed.

At this time, he looked around a little nervously, his eyes were full of uneasiness and panic, through the slender and thin body of the young man in front of him, looking at the dark night in front of him as thick as ink, he couldn't help but say a little stumbling: "Xiaoyi, are you sure that thing is in front?"

"Hmm!", the young man who was called Xiaoyi just replied simply, his steps were still moving forward steadily, and he didn't even look back at the fat man behind him. He could clearly feel the fat man's fear, and his heart stopped, so that the fat man who followed him almost hit him, and the torch was also dimmed at the same time, the fat man trembled and said nervously: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yi was displeased, but he showed a smile, looked up at the fat man who was a head taller than him, and said, "Fat San'er, are you afraid?"

The young man who was called the fat third was stunned for a moment, and then nodded a little embarrassedly: "Look here, you can't see anything at all, I heard the old beggar in the alley say that this place is often haunted!"

Hearing the name of the old beggar, Xiaoyi couldn't help but sneer, and said with a look of contempt: "That old guy is a god all day long, can you believe his words?"

Looking at the face of the fat third under the torch, his face became more and more pale, and he scolded "waste!" in his heart, but he said: "This bearded alley, who doesn't know that your fat third is a famous fat and bold child, and at this time, you will be cowardly?"

This fat three and weekdays, boasting in Hutou Alley all day long that he is not afraid of the sky and the earth is not afraid of the fat and bold, at this time he was provoked by Xiaoyi, and couldn't help shaking the fat flesh all over his body, although he was still nervous in his heart, but he pretended to be forced on his face: "You are wrong about this, I am not afraid of ghosts in the dark night, but afraid that the news is not accurate, can you really be sure that the big goods are really buried there?"

Xiao Yi smiled, seeing that his method really worked, he immediately nodded and said: "This news is absolutely reliable, I got it at the risk of dying for a lifetime, as long as we dig out this big thing, we will let you live in Fengyue Building for the rest of your life!"

Listening to Xiaoyi talking about Fengyue Building, the fat three's face full of horizontal meat suddenly turned red, he asked for food to cheat money on weekdays, and every time he went downstairs to Fengyue, the girl upstairs and downstairs was like seven fairies, and even the air was filled with a comfortable aroma.

Seeing that Fat San'er was finally appeased by himself, Xiaoyi turned around and continued to move forward, while continuing to move forward, he couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart, it was best to be there for that big item, otherwise he would lose a lot this time, and the news that he finally got could not be empty.

In other words, although this Li Xiaoyi is also a prodigal ghost who begs for food and cheats money everywhere on weekdays, he is beautiful and loves to be clean, and he is appreciated by the old mother of Fengyuelou.

And it just so happened that on that day, Li Xiaoyi finished the work in his hand, and when he was peeping at people's houses and rain, he heard the bald man drunk and smoked nonsense, and said that there was a big grave on the mass grave in the back mountain, which contained countless gold and silver treasures, and said that it was going to be dug up for his good friend.

Li Xiaoyi is really poor and afraid on weekdays, so he secretly wrote down this matter, and wanted to do it himself, but his body was weak, so he had no choice but to find a fat third partner, but he didn't expect that the master who always boasted that he was not afraid of heaven and earth on weekdays was also a bad man, but fortunately, it had a calming effect, otherwise there would be a danger of dying today.

Getting back to the point, let's just say that after walking for nearly an hour, the two brothers finally came to the mass grave that the bald man said, not to mention the phosphorus fire everywhere, but the surroundings were quiet and frightening, and the fat San'er was close to Li Xiaoyi, as if he was afraid that Li Xiaoyi would suddenly disappear, and said with a panicked face: "We, let, have we arrived at the ground?"

Li Xiaoyi was also worried in his heart, the graves in this place were grave after grave, the graves were next to the graves, there was no sound at all, and the occasional cold wind made every pore tremble.

But the future of wealth made Li Xiaoyi calm down, he walked left and right according to the characteristics of the bald man, and finally stopped in a place where only half of the stone tablet was standing, Li Xiaoyi looked at the half of the dilapidated stone tablet, engraved with a few words, and couldn't help but stretch out the torch forward, and the fat San'er also stretched his head over.

Fat San'er was an orphan when he was a child, and he didn't know one of the big characters, but this Li Xiaoyi was different, although he was also an orphan, he often peeked and eavesdropped outside the walls of the academy, but he knew the words on the stone tablet.

"Heaven and man stop at the front!" Li Xiaoyi whispered while his heart couldn't help but be a little confused, what kind of play should this be?

Aren't the stone tablets of normal people all engraved with the past of life and the name of the owner of the tomb? Li Xiaoyi couldn't think of anything after thinking about it for a long time, but this tomb was the same as what the bald man said, and he immediately said to the fat three behind him: "Dig!"

Under the bright moon, in the dark night, Er Xiaolun started to work with his arms, he was still very scared at first, after a long time, he was left with a stinky sweat, Li Xiaoyi's body was thin, and he was already out of breath after a long time, so he had to sit aside to cheer up Fat San, and try to talk about some of what he saw and heard in Fengyue Building. Which girl has a slender waist and a big red flower on her chest, and made a wish to wait for that big item to be dug up, how to buy Fengyue Lou and so on.

Fat San'er was sweating profusely, but listening to Li Xiaoyi's words, his mouth was grinning to the root of his ears, this is a simple master, although he loves to brag, in the end, he is a young man's temperament, where can he withstand Li Xiaoyi's bewitchment.

Finally, when the dinging sounded, Fat San'er slashed the pickaxe twice harder, and when it was confirmed, he said to Li Xiaoyi on the side: "Okay?"

Li Xiaoyi jumped to the bottom of the pit under the response of Fat San'er, glanced at the bright moon in the sky, and while cheering himself up, he said to Fat San'er: "Open the coffin!"

Fat San'er hesitated to stare at the coffin that had exposed the coffin board under his feet, and then said to Li Xiaoyi with some trepidation: "Do you think there will be ghosts here?"

Li Xiaoyi said "bah" and said: "We have dug the grave, and we haven't seen any demons and monsters, the gold and silver treasures are in front of you, if you are afraid of me coming, but the ugly words said before, if I dig out this big goods, you don't want to get any of them!"

was said by Li Xiaoyi, Fat San'er peeked around again, although it is still ghostly, but whose cemetery is not like this, not to mention that it is really as Li Xiaoyi said, after digging for so long, he really hasn't seen a ghost, I'm afraid of hair!

With a horizontal heart, the two of them worked together, and in a few clicks, the coffin lid was smashed, but before the two brothers could see the things under the coffin board, they both fell away with a scream.

It turned out that this coffin lid was just a baffle and something like that, and there was a hole under this big tomb, Li Xiaoyi was the first to jump up, holding a torch to shine around, the bottom was dark, and under the light of the torch, he could only see what was in front of him, and he couldn't see anything in front of him. And the fat San'er also stood up a little trembling at this time, he looked at the endless darkness in front of him, and said nervously: "Xiaoyi, we don't want that big goods, or let's withdraw!"

Li Xiaoyi's eyes were horizontal, and he yelled at Fat San with a murderous face: "Shut up"

Fat San was suddenly shocked by Li Xiaoyi's sudden roar at this time, he really couldn't imagine that Li Xiaoyi, who seems to have a gentle temperament on weekdays, still has such a side, and when Fat San reacted, he couldn't help but peek at Li Xiaoyi again, this guy is actually laughing?

"It must be here, there must be big goods here!" Li Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and he encouraged the fat San'er who was trembling beside him: "You see that there is a grave buried in this mass grave that is not a grave, it must be who has hidden the gold and silver treasures here, if you and I are timid and afraid at this time, how can we be happy in Fengyue Tower in the future?"

Mentioning Fengyue Lou again, Fat San'er couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said: "Then you are in front, I will follow you!"

Li Xiaoyi sneered slightly sarcastically: "You're not stupid!"

The fat third smiled, but when he saw the black who couldn't see his fingers in front of him, he froze the smile on his face again, shrunk his head, and really shrank his fat body behind Li Xiaoyi.

Li Xiaoyi didn't care, and walked in with a torch first, while Fat San'er followed closely behind, not daring to fall behind.

This should be a corridor, but it is naturally formed, Li Xiaoyi and Fat San'er don't know how long they have walked, the humid corridor cave, after walking for a while, it has become dry, and the more you go inside, the warmer it becomes.

I don't know when there will be some light, the second child glanced at each other, full of suspicion, and the fat third wanted to say nonsense about retreating, but was forced back by Li Xiaoyi's murderous eyes.

After walking for a while, the light began to become more and more obvious, until the end of the road was even more blazing red.

Fat San'er's body couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly grabbed Li Xiaoyi, who was about to go inside, and said, "I'm afraid there are people living here, right?"

Li Xiaoyi also stopped hesitantly, poked his head into it from the side of the stone wall, and couldn't help but stiffen and said, "There are really people!"
