(1/2)
By the river?
This is definitely a message that left me with my head. What did he want me to be careful about?
Something big must have gone wrong while I was away!
I was thinking quickly in my mind, and I couldn't figure out what my head hit, and I was walking in such a hurry.
Although it is just one line, I choose to believe that this is the trust between us.
I sat blankly, waiting for nightfall.
Late at night, I carried my bag and a headlamp and walked alone to the river.
In fact, we cannot call it a small river. This river is not small. It is connected to the Dulong River, and the source of the Dulong River is at the foot of the Snow Mountain. It can be said that it does not dry all year round.
The sound of water was rushing, so I walked along the river bank, hoping to meet the leader and the others.
"Then...what is that?"
As I was walking, I raised my flashlight and suddenly I saw something floating on the river in the distance, like a box?
The rushing river was drawing the thing closer and closer.
I took a closer look and saw that it was a rotten coffin floating in the water!
Before I had time to react, I saw two pale human hands sticking out from the rotten coffin, like zombies!
Seeing this, I was so scared that I took two steps back.
Immediately, the two men grabbed the sides of the coffin and slowly sat up...
"Fish...fish...Brother Fish!"
I never dreamed that it would be Brother Yu who sat up from the rotten coffin!
The coffin was carried downstream by the water.
Brother Yu looked anxious and waved to me: "Yunfeng! Hurry! Sit up quickly!"
As soon as I gritted my teeth, I didn't have time to think too much and swam over in the flowing water. Brother Yu pulled me into the coffin.
After lying in, the first thing Brother Yu did was to immediately turn off my headlamp.
In the dark night, this rotten coffin was washed by the river and drifted with the current.
Inside the coffin, we were facing each other, and through the thin moonlight, we could barely see the outline of each other's faces.
River water kept splashing in.
My upper body was soaked, and I gasped nervously and asked, "What's going on, Brother Yu! Where's the head!"
Brother Yu's tone was a little angry.
"Yunfeng, why are you back so late! Three whole days late! If it weren't for waiting for you, we would have left long ago!"
"Brother Yu, I don't want to either! Something happened to me and I was delayed!"
"How about the tasks assigned to me? Have you completed them all?"
I said don't worry, it's done.
Brother Yu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "That's good. I admire the good fortune teller. Otherwise, everything we have worked so hard for will have to be taken away."
I didn't understand, so I asked what was going on? Who wanted to steal our things?
At this time, the coffin floating in the river hit a stone and turned a corner. A large amount of river water poured in, just like a boat.
Brother Yu asked me to sit up and lie down next to the coffin to watch.
He wouldn't let me turn on the light.
All I could see was that the river bank was so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers. I couldn't see anything.
Brother Yu said with a cold face: "Don't worry, you will see them soon."
After floating along the river for a few more minutes, I suddenly saw a faint light on the other side of the river. Someone must be camping.
"Isn't that our camp?"
Brother Yu shook his head and whispered with a cold face: "No, it's another group of tomb robbers who suddenly appeared, Yunfeng. If Master Zhe hadn't been vigilant at night, you would have only found our bodies when you came back."
"There is no signal in the mountains, so we can't contact you. We have to pass by this group's camp to pick you up, so we thought about it a lot and decided to take the water route."
"This group of people appeared on the night of the fourth day after you left. They have two purposes. They are to monopolize the undiscovered tombs at the ruins. They are also to rob the things we have excavated and kill people."
"Black eat black!"
I couldn't help but said angrily: "Who the hell is it! I don't want to live anymore!"
This place is inaccessible. We worked hard for nearly a year to find it! Now this group of people appeared out of thin air. They didn’t have a parchment, how did they find it!
Brother Yu whispered: "You still need to ask? Yunfeng, if you think about it, you should know who revealed the information to them."
I hesitated for a moment, but I already had the answer in my mind.
Is this the back-up plan for the July Climb?
He couldn't defeat us, so he was chased all over the forest by Zhewu. As a result, the news spread behind his back, and our colleagues were found to kill themselves and kill each other.
No...that's not entirely the case.
I remembered the Western Han Dynasty tomb in the cave before, and the strange brick wall... I suspected that it was because I was not fooled at the time, and Qiyue Climbing was eager to find the things in the tomb behind the wall.
So another group of tomb robbers was brought in.
But these are all my conjectures, and I won’t know for sure until I see the clues.
Under the cover of darkness, the coffin floated down the river past the group's camp without being discovered.
We drifted downstream for about an hour. Due to the low terrain and fast current, we drifted faster and faster.
Brother Yu turned on the headlight, and I saw Dou Sprout standing shirtless on the shore not far away, with two long bamboo poles in his hands.
I saw the coffin coming down the river.
Without saying a word, Dou Sprout plunged into the water!
He quickly swam a few meters away, stuck the two long bamboo poles in his hands between the cracks in the rocks, and then dived to the bottom of the river with a sudden movement.
moment!
The coffin hit a bamboo pole blocking the middle of the river. The two bamboo poles lined up were bent instantly by the impact!
Not broken!
Immediately afterwards, the toughness of the bamboo began to rebound, and the rotten coffin that Brother Yu and I were riding in was stopped firmly! It no longer continued to drift along the fast river.
When we got ashore, Douyazi came over in little red pants and punched me in the chest. He said, "Fengzi! You're back! Whether you're back or not, I thought you were following the snake girl back to Nanping, the little snake girl."
Got it!"
"Get out of here, I'm delayed on something, where is the boss?"
"I'm just waiting for you, come on."
Leaving the river, we walked around for a while, and finally Dou Sprout led Brother Yu and me into a small cave.
There was a fire burning in the cave, and I caught a glimpse of Baotou and Xiaoxuan, who I hadn't seen for nearly ten days, as well as Master Zhe!
"Head."
Xiaoxuan stood up and came over and hugged me.
"It's okay. I'm back. If I say I'll come back, I will definitely come back."
Xiaoxuan let me go, her expression showing exhaustion.
"Yunfeng, just come back and warm up by the fire."
I took off my shirt and wrung it out, sat down and asked, "Boss, what happened? Who are those people?"
He raised his head and sighed softly, and sighed: "Thanks to the discount this time, Yunfeng, have you ever heard of a gang whose leader is named Xu Chengxi."
"Xu inherited..."
When I first heard this name, it sounded familiar.
"Xu inherits?"
"The leader is Xu Chengi, who buried his father and uncle with his own hands?!"
He nodded with cold eyes.
I took a breath, it turned out to be this group of people!
Xu Chengcheng has a very bad reputation in the industry! Anyone who associates with him almost never ends well! They are either missing or definitely dead.
For money, this man named Xu killed his father with a Luoyang shovel and buried his uncle alive!
This is all true, and what’s more! In order to win over a gunner from another team to help him, he gave his wife and biological daughter to others to sleep with!
It can be said that this person has lost his humanity and has done all kinds of bad things. The Taoist priests nicknamed him: "He is evil enough to reach the sky."
Dou Yazai said angrily: "Damn it! There are four people on the other side, and they brought more than a dozen spray guns! There are also explosives! If we hadn't run fast that night, it would have been all over!"
To be continued...
