Chapter 55: Tender Embrace
I looked at Peanut's expression when he said this, stared at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Why must you die? Because Professor Chen's things are in conflict with your plan, he has to die? He, he is your uncle..."
I believe in peanuts too much, so, according to my unrealistic moral standards, I can't accept that peanuts are such a cruel person.
Peanut smiled and said, "That's right, he is my uncle, so it has nothing to do with you."
The smile on his face made me feel very uncomfortable and even a little disgusted. But Peanut still smiled like this, as if he was born with such a smiling face.
I couldn't calm down, but I had nothing to say.
Eight people came down, and in less than a day, all four of them were dead. I smiled bitterly in my heart, was the purpose of Professor Chen and the others coming down this time to die?
No, not right.
I suddenly thought of what the eldest girl called "Fantasy Snow Forbidden City" and that map.
Xueheyu had all taken it away last time, and Professor Chen must have come for that map this time. Now that Professor Chen is dead, Peanuts are still reluctant to leave here, it must be for that map.
Thinking of this, my mind was hot and I said to the fat man: "Let's go find that map."
The fat man was stunned, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't the girl who made up Yang Lang say that their main purpose was for a map? Huanxue Forbidden City, you can tell that good things are indispensable there when you hear the name. Fatty, are you talking about the underworld every day? With the map, let's go and pour that place directly."
After I finished speaking, the fat man's eyes flashed, but he quickly reacted. "I'm afraid that before I find the map, I'll stop eating."
At this time, I thought that Peanut must also want that map, and as long as we find it, it will definitely make him unhappy. But this idea is stupid enough. To put it bluntly, it is impossible to rely on me and Fatty, so I said it and made Peanut anxious.
However, peanut took out something from the body and threw it directly to me.
I was stunned and subconsciously caught the thing. When I looked down, I was even more stunned.
"The map is inside." Peanut said lightly, then turned his head and started lighting a cigarette for himself again.
The fat man came over and glanced at Peanut for a few seconds and said, "Brother, you look down on Fat Master's IQ. Isn't this a fucking stainless steel wine pot? Do you think this style is a little old, so I can regard it as an antique?"
The fat man was right, it was clearly an old portable wine pot. The original green paint on it was almost gone, and the mouth and bottom of the pot were all rusted. After shaking it a few times, I was even more sure that there was nothing here.
Peanut ignored the fat man and turned to me and said, "Take it to your father and tell him... 'It's his turn soon'."
After saying that, Peanut carried a piece of equipment beside Zhuge Xuan, turned around and walked towards the direction we were down.
"Wait." This time, I reacted very quickly and ran up and stopped in front of Peanuts. After thinking about it, I said, "Okay, even if I believe this wine pot is a map, why do you still have to go up now?"
Peanut smiled at me: "I'm going to find the truth, just like you."
"What?"
"Yuan Jie, don't continue to pursue these things. Although you are very special, you will eventually die when you come and go in such a place. The truth you want is not necessary to ask your father or me, it was by your side early in the morning."
"Around me?"
Just as I was stunned, the peanuts had already run out into the darkness above.
I was hesitating whether to chase after me, and at this moment, the fat man shouted, "That woman is awake."
As soon as I turned around, I saw Zhuge Xuan open his eyes slightly and trying to struggle to sit up. Looking at the darkness and sighing, I stepped forward and helped Zhuge Xuan up.
She is very soft and light. I don’t know what perfume this little girl has applied to herself, but until now, I can smell a faint fragrance.
"Water..." Zhuge Xuan murmured in confusion.
"Fatty, water!" I immediately shouted to the fat man.
The fat man gave me a blank look, "I heard that, Damn, Fatty Master didn't feel so distressed when he was injured."
After taking the kettle handed by the fat man, I gently put it to Zhuge Xuan's mouth and slowly fed her a few sips.
After a while, her eyes opened a little again. "I, where am I? Why do I feel so dizzy?"
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, peanuts are really good, they are not easy to take. If they are more ruthless, Zhuge Xuan will probably have cerebral palsy.
The fat man squatted in front of Zhuge Xuan with a smile, "It's okay to be dizzy. You just need to remember that your brother Yuan Jie rescued you from the dire straits just now."
After hearing this, I said, "What are you talking about?"
The fat man smiled and said, "This is called hypnosis. You didn't see that Zhuge Xuan was dizzy now. What I said now will affect her brain waves. In this way, will your business be done?"
"What, what's the matter, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh, look at your little face, come on, if you like it, what's the big deal? A soft boy loves crazy women, it's a perfect match."
"you......"
I was about to say something when Zhuge Xuan whispered: "Fatty..."
When I saw it, her eyes seemed to be closing again.
"Hell, my god, this woman is not a crush on you, Fatty?" Fatty then smiled at me, "Don't worry, Fatty, I won't be confused by her cry of spring..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Xuan continued, "Fatty, you...get out of here, tell Yuan Jie, let him be careful...Professor Chen, Chen...Ming..."
Anyway, we can't hear anything Zhuge Xuan said later, but she can clearly say the words scolding the fat man.
I smiled at the fat man: "Do you call this a secret love?"
The fat man curled his lips and muttered and cursed a few times, and then Zhuge Xuan fainted again.
At this time, I sat on the ground, hugging the little girl sideways. When she felt weak, she leaned completely towards me. I was already very tired, but strangely, although the posture was very uncomfortable, I had no idea of moving.
After looking at Zhuge Xuan, I felt that this girl with a tired face and dusty body was even more touching. Holding such a beauties in such a half-dead state is also a blessing.
So, I ignored the fat man's sarcasm and kept holding Zhuge Xuan.
The meat was probably already in the peanuts' belly. We ate something casually. The fat man was studying the wine pot there, and I asked him what to do now.
The fat man looked into the wine pot and said, "The thief hole is not very big. We can only wait for Zhuge Xuan to wake up and climb out together."
"Then you really don't care about peanuts?" I asked.
The fat man put down the wine pot and turned his head, "It's not that you don't care, it's because you can't control it. Hey, now this map is in our hands, I'll see..."
I knew what the fat man was thinking at once, "Okay, stop watching, I have to leave this thing to my father. If he wants to go to the forbidden city, you can contact him by yourself."
"Hey, didn't you say it well just now? Why did you admit defeat again?"
"Just just think I'm just making a fool of myself." I said, "This thing must be very important to my father. Although Professor Chen and the others have died, isn't there any big girl? I think she seems to have a deep hatred with our Yuan family. If I don't inform my father earlier, I'm afraid..."
Suddenly, I couldn't continue talking anymore.
"Are you afraid that Liu Jia's second-hand man will harm your father?" said the fat man.
I nodded, and when I thought of that incident, I felt depressed again. It is no exaggeration to use the Liu family's second lances and Tan Wei to represent my childhood and teenager. But now, my past seems to be denied by these things in front of me.
Just as I was thinking, suddenly, a sliding sound came from the darkness on the slope behind me.
Both the fat man and I felt like we were turning around.
"Hiss, is the peanut back?" I couldn't help but think.
Not long after, the sound that was very close to us stopped again, followed by a deep sound of footsteps.
The fat man lit up the flashlight and walked to Zhuge Xuan and me. After a flash, a figure carrying an archaeological team's equipment bag appeared in front of him not far away.
Seeing that person, I felt a little thrust, and immediately let go of Zhuge Xuan and stood up.
"Mr. Cao? Mr. Yuan? Oh, I finally found you."
As he said that, the man was about to cry and trotted towards us.
Damn, isn’t that Professor Chen? I felt dizzy in my mind and thought to myself, didn’t Peanut kill him?
Now, Fatty and I can’t tell whether he is a human or a ghost. Subconsciously, the two of them went to see Professor Chen’s shadow on the ground.
I don't look like a ghost when Professor Chen looks like this. Moreover, if Peanut really didn't kill him, things would be more in line with my expectations.
However, what Fatty and I had never expected was that under the flashlight, we could not find his shadow on the ground behind Professor Chen. (To be continued.)
