Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 32
A hole made from the inside out?

I looked around, except for the passage when I came here, this is indeed a closed tomb.From the perspective of the ancestors who have been here, if you want to leave here, if you don't go back the same way, you can only open up a new road.After thinking about it for a while, I had a general idea in my heart, and said, "It seems that the soldiers of Yan State probably dug this robbery hole back then, but I don't know what happened later, and they also became zongzi." , and it is still unknown whether this robbery hole has opened up to the outside world."

"Let's go, it's not realistic to go back the same way." Qi Lao had just bandaged the wound on his left arm, and after finishing speaking, he picked up a bronze shovel and bent down into the robbery cave.

Seeing this, Xinran and I quickly picked up the shovel and followed.

After entering the cave, I really realized the essential difference between the robbery cave and the passage.Probably because of time constraints, this robbery cave dug by soldiers of the Yan Kingdom is extremely narrow. With my size, I can only crawl forward slowly after entering.

Mr. Qi opened the way at the forefront, and Xinran followed closely behind me.Fortunately, there was no movement of zongzi from behind. After crawling for a while, I didn't feel as worried as before.

Although this robbery hole is very narrow, its length is beyond my imagination.We crawled hundreds of meters, but still couldn't see the entrance of the cave.It seems that in order to dig through this robbery hole, the soldiers of Yan State did spend a lot of effort.

But the more this happened, the more uncertain I felt.Whether the front will be dug through is still unknown.If this channel does not open up to the outside world, then our situation will become very passive.

"Quickly extinguish the light!"

I was startled by Mr. Qi's sudden shout. Although I subconsciously turned off the flashlight, I didn't realize what happened at all.

The surroundings suddenly became extremely dark, so quiet that I could even hear their breathing.I squinted my eyes and tried to look forward, only to find some clues.

Sporadic blue light spots appeared in the distance ahead. Seeing those dots of blue, the muscles of my whole body tensed up almost instantly.

Another ghost lantern!This thing left a deep impression on me last time.

"Old Qi, this...is a ghost lantern? Could it be that there are many corpses in this robbery cave?" I asked in a low voice.It stands to reason that ghost lanterns will only appear where there are piles of dead people. Now how there are so many dead people in this small robbery cave is really puzzling.

Old Qi turned his head and said in a low voice: "I just vaguely saw the exit of the robbery cave in front of me. If I guessed correctly, the hole in front of it should be the hole behind the murals of the Han tomb. I really didn't expect it. Back to the beginning."

"Hiss", I gasped when I heard Elder Qi's words. I never expected this kind of situation, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

A happy voice came from behind: "It's such a coincidence that the robbery hole they dug just opened up the passage they dug before. If we had noticed this hole at the beginning, wouldn't we have to go through so many dangers later? ?”

"Actually, you can't say that. If you think about it, there are ghost lanterns in front of you, which means that the entrance of the hole is on the road section with ghost lanterns. We walked in the dark on that section of the road, so how could we pay attention to the holes on the cave wall? What?" I also sighed, everything is really a trick of good fortune.

Thinking about it this way, the zongzi soldier who photographed Xinran before probably came to the passage along the robbery hole.After all, those soldiers who committed suicide in the tunnel had no chance of touching the red liquid, let alone turning into rice dumplings.

Old Qi said: "It will be the same as before, I will throw the cold light stick, and you will walk back against the inner wall."

"Okay!" I replied happily.

We move forward in the dark, getting closer and closer to the ghost lantern...

Mr. Qi suddenly took out a few cold light sticks from his bag, opened them and threw them forward. The bright spot immediately attracted many blue light spots. We also took the opportunity to get out of the hole and groped along the inner wall.

After learning that the corpses of Yan Jun are all over the ground, walking this section again, the feeling in my heart is really different.

Compared with the fear of the unknown when I came here, now I have a sense of guilt and guilt entangled in every step I take.Thinking about this way: when we move forward, we are stepping on the road they have carved out with their lives; when we go out, we are stepping on the road paved with their corpses.Somewhere, we seem to owe them a huge karma...

Our way out, almost no stop.When I saw Lu Yuan's body again, although I had mixed feelings in my heart, I didn't want to stop and think about the past.

This time six people went to the tomb and three people came out, even Zhao Longyu, who had experienced many battles, was also folded here.Each of them is more experienced than me, but accidents will not avoid experienced people. I think it is just a little bit of luck that I can get out alive.

When I walked out of the tomb, the sky was already slightly bright. Looking at the rising sun, I took a deep breath. In the past twenty years, I have never felt like this. It is really a very happy thing to be alive !

I didn't feel the exhaustion from strenuous activity and sleepless nights until I was completely relaxed.Later, I followed them down the mountain in a daze, opened three hotels in the town, and slept from morning to night.

When I opened my eyes, I looked at my phone and it was already 9:34 in the evening. At this moment, my whole body was extremely sore, and I struggled for a long time before I got up from the bed.

I got up in a daze, got dressed, went out of the room, and knocked on the door of Mr. Qi next door.

After knocking for a long time, there was a response from the room.It was an elder sister who opened the door. When she heard that I was looking for Mr. Qi, her expression became very strange, and she looked at me with crazy eyes.

I apologized repeatedly, saying that I remembered the wrong room, and then staggered back to my room.I sat at the table, reacted for a while, and then took out my phone.

After opening WeChat, I saw a message from Xinran in the afternoon:
"Are you awake" (3:15)

"Still asleep?" (3:36)

"Lazy pig, sleep well!" (4:12)

"Grandpa and I are leaving first, thank you for this trip, although the result is not satisfactory." (4:12)

"After we found Uncle Yu's body, we took some things out of his backpack. It was in the coffin of the Han Dynasty Tomb. You have a share of the good things, don't worry! But you should take the high-speed rail or plane when you go back, right? It’s not convenient to carry things with you, so give me an address, and I’ll send you your share later!” (4:13)

"Goodbye by fate! You can send me WeChat when you have nothing to do. I am often bored!" (4:14)

“Let’s go, remember me!” (4:14)

"Oh, that's right! Send me the picture of the red slate you took, too. Grandpa is very interested in it." (4:16)

Looking at the news sent by Xinran, I am a little dumbfounded.But this time I can survive this trip, I should really be grateful and content.I will never do such a life-threatening thing in the future!
I sent the video and photos I took in the tomb to Xin, typed a line, thought it was a little strange, and then deleted it, and after deleting it, typed a paragraph, repeated several times before sending out a sentence.

"We will keep in touch in the future!"

I slumped on the chair, feeling a sense of loss in my heart.I subconsciously put my hand in my pocket, but took out a letter from it.

It's the letter that Elder Qi from the tomb gave me...
