"That's right, you see, there are many fracture marks on the edge of the hole. They are all new, because they were probably knocked open by his internal force when he came out."

"You mean this hole is connected to the ancient tomb where my father is trapped now?" My voice trembled slightly, and I suddenly felt that I was very close to the old man.

"The wind and corpse gas blowing out of it is too strong. There can be no other reasons besides ancient tombs and death pits." Peanut finished speaking and sneered at the mouse, "You want to take things away and then sneak in from here, right?

, The plan is good, keep working hard." After patting the mouse, Peanut let go of the knee pressing against his abdomen and back.

Suddenly my heart trembled and I started crawling towards the entrance of the cave.

"Hey, Lao Yuan, what are you doing?" Lao Tan grabbed me from behind.

"Nonsense, of course I have to go in and save my dad." I turned around and yelled at him, "Let go."

"Holy crap, how are we going to get in that place? Do we need to cut you in half first, and then send you in in batches?"

After Lao Tan said this, I was immediately discouraged.

Peanut rubbed his neck and coughed dryly and said, "No, I can only go in that place. It's hundreds of meters deep. It took me half my life to shrink my bones."

"Shut the fuck up!" I scolded casually, "I didn't know how to open the hole wider when I came out."

"Did you make a mistake and make a hole in it? I won't be able to get out until the next life."

"You fucking talk back?" Lao Tan continued to scold.

I was also anxious at this time. When I thought that I could save my father by drilling through that hole, I wanted to switch bodies with a mouse.

The mouse walked up the steps angrily, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm being used like a dog by you, and I'm not even allowed to speak..." The mouse muttered and continued walking forward.

However, as soon as he took two steps, his body suddenly stiffened, then turned his back to us, covering his head with trembling hands.

"Holy shit, are you still here?" Lao Tan was really angry this time, and as he spoke, he was about to squeeze in between me and Peanut and beat him.

However, before he could move, the mouse fell straight down the steps. His whole face hit the steps, and blood immediately flew out. Then, the mouse's body was like a wooden stick, flowing along the steps.

The steps rolled down.

We were all stunned, even Peanut looked in disbelief. But because of the experience last time, the three of us were still on guard. Peanut took off the backpack with one hand and threw it forward to stop the mouse from sliding down.

The three of them stared closely at the rat that fell to the ground, without saying a word for a long time. In fact, everyone was guarding against this kid, fearing that he would suddenly jump up from the ground if we moved. However, when I thought about him just now

The way he fell down made me feel that if he was trying to deceive us, it would be too realistic.

Finally, Peanut slowly squatted down. He stretched out his hand and pressed the back of the mouse's neck first, and then gently turned the mouse over. As soon as I saw the mouse's face, I felt cold. His face was covered with

The steps were scraped, the skin was torn, and there was blood all over it, but his eyes were wide open, and his frozen pupils were full of pain.

Peanut pressed his hand on his neck again and stayed there for two seconds before slowly spitting out three words.

"He's dead."

"Dead?" Lao Tan and I shouted together.

"No, this... was fine just now, why... Peanut, didn't you pinch it too hard just now?" Old Tan looked at Peanut in confusion and horror.

Yes, the only one that attacked the mouse just now was Peanut, but it was obvious that Peanut did not kill him.

"What the hell is going on?" I hope Peanut can give us an explanation.

But Peanut had no intention of answering our questions. He just squatted there and began to examine the rat's body. Old Tan winked at me, meaning to let me be on guard. What happened in front of me happened so suddenly that I couldn't even I didn't know what to do. After being stunned for a while, I even began not to believe Peanut's judgment, and I reached out my hand to check the mouse's heartbeat and pulse. However, the final result proved that the mouse was indeed dead.

Peanut was thinking to himself, then suddenly raised the mouse's head, and then began to fumble with the mouse's dirty hair. His hand suddenly stopped slightly behind the mouse's forehead, and then said: " The fatal wound is here."

Lao Tan and I looked at Peanut in confusion, hesitated for a while, and then both touched the spot on the mouse's head with our hands.

Sure enough, on the mouse's head, I felt that a piece of skull on his forehead was missing, and the soft feeling made my scalp numb. Peanut pushed the mouse's hair aside, and I saw a very new piece of skull there. Bruises. After watching all this, I remembered the moment when the mouse just fell down the steps. At that time, he was indeed in pain and covered his head.

"I didn't see him hit his head during the whole journey, and besides, this, this is too sudden." I looked at Peanut even more confused.

"Perhaps this kid did it before, and now it's just a sudden attack." Lao Tan said.

Peanut smiled faintly again and shook his head, "The skull was shattered in the brain, but there was only a little bruise on the scalp, not even swelling. The person who did it, huh, did a good job."

"You mean the mouse was beaten to death? Then..." Subconsciously, I looked up at the top of the steps. The place where the mouse fell was deep in the bend, and I didn't know if it was. Due to my own psychological effects, I immediately felt that there was a sinister atmosphere there, as if there was someone hiding behind it. I lowered my voice and said, "Is there an ambush there?"

Both Lao Tan and Peanut looked forward, their breathing slowed down. If someone really ambushed us, then our situation would be very bad. That person could kill without a trace while we all watched. If he wants to kill a mouse, then if he wants to attack Lao Tan and me, or even Peanut, it will definitely not be too difficult.

Thinking of this, I feel numb on my forehead. Damn it, the dog said, it finally came here, but now, the only mouse who knows where the ancient tomb is is dead. What should we do next? Spend time here? Or go back Find another way to go?

"Let's go."

In distress, Peanut said this calmly.

"Don't we think of ways to be on guard?" Lao Tan was still frightened, as if he was extremely afraid of that corner.

Peanut looked at me, smiled and said: "When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the willows are hidden and the flowers are bright."

Before, I would have thought that Peanut was being ridiculous again, but now, I instantly realized that these eight words he said were the most realistic solution for us - keep walking.

I must go to save my father, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will go. Although the guide Mouse is dead now, as long as the goal remains unchanged, we must continue to follow the path he pointed out during his lifetime. According to that kid What we did before, this road may even be a cover. If we continue on, we may die, and we can't find another way to that ancient tomb in a short time. Isn't this the case? What is the end of mountains and rivers?

But because of this, we must continue to move forward, and speed up, because, we... no, I have no choice.

Peanut picked up his backpack and rushed over first. I followed him closely, and Lao Tan also chased after me helplessly. I thought to myself, damn, even if there is an ambush, there are three of us here, and the other party is not Ximen.

Fubuki, how could it be so easy to deal with us?

When I turned the corner, I saw no one, and my tense nerves couldn't help but relax. I suddenly wanted to thank Peanut. If it weren't for him, I might still be hesitating.

"flower......"

"I don't know if this road really leads to the entrance of the ancient tomb. If not, we will still have to spend time looking for the location of the ancient tomb, so save your energy and hurry." Peanut didn't even look back, and just followed.

He ran up the steps at a completely different speed than before.

"Holy shit, wait for us." Lao Tan shouted from behind, urging me to follow Peanut. Maybe he was still worried about being attacked.

Looking at Peanut's movements, I knew that he would definitely not wait for us like before. He wanted to walk through this narrow hole as quickly as possible so that he could judge whether the entrance to the ancient tomb was really ahead. I suddenly felt

Peanut really might be an old friend of my father, otherwise, why would he be as anxious as a son like me?

"Mom, he can't be my father's illegitimate son." This thought suddenly came to my mind.

After a few seconds, Lao Tan and I were completely left behind by Peanut. Soon, we couldn't even hear his footsteps.

"Is this guy trying to run away?" Lao Tan asked me as he rushed.

"No." I blurted out, even myself was shocked after saying it. If there is no reason, for Peanut, running away is the best thing for him to do now, so my affirmative tone is unreasonable.

.But I don’t know why, at that moment, I actually felt a kind of trust in this person.

The road behind was steeper than before. Both Lao Tan and I were panting from exhaustion and had no strength to speak. After three hours, we were climbing up almost with all four limbs. Just when I felt that my physical strength had reached the limit.

When I was walking, I suddenly saw a ray of sunlight above my head shining on my face.

"It's the exit!" I suddenly became excited and turned around and shouted to Lao Tan: "We are coming out!"
