Chapter 178 Entering the Tomb

Later, when my father talked about this, he always looked outside the window, his eyes full of regret and confusion. He didn't know what he was regretting, nor did he know what he was confused about.

When they woke up, they were lying on the same bed. My uncle walked in from outside the tent and looked at them.

"You two woke up, it's really OK. You can order the tent after drinking a drink. You also know that you are going to lie outside my tent, so that I can go to sleep in a big shed with the workers."

Zhang Chong and his father touched the back of their heads at the same time. Did the things they had last night all dreams? His father pointed to the back of his head at the back of his head, and Zhang Chong nodded to his father and signaled that they were not dreaming that they had drunk too much.

When my uncle was sleeping at night, he suddenly felt very hot and ran out to see it. As a result, his father's tent was lit. Just as he thought of going in to save people, he found that his father and Zhang Chong were lying not far from his uncle's tent.

My father picked up the water cup next to me and almost finished drinking it. The workers all picked up the equipment sent by the truck yesterday. Yesterday the man was still wearing the suit yesterday and followed two women in leather jackets. My father walked in and found that the scar on the woman's face was indeed a bit scary.

Zhang Chong and his father looked around for a week but did not see the man in a yellow Taoist robe. Now he was even more sure that yesterday was not dreaming. The strong foreman took a military shovel in his hand and followed him. The group of workers stood in front of the tomb door, all of them looked eager to try. This was the thing that surprised Zhang Chong and his father the most.

One person died here last night, but no one seemed to know. Even my uncle didn't seem to know. He stood behind the man in the suit with a military shovel, as if he was going to get a bunch of treasures. Even if these people didn't know, the strong foreman should have known it. He was the one who knocked them out yesterday. He could not have known that there was a dead person in the corridor. Since he knew why he didn't tell everyone, he would still take the workers behind him to go in.

My uncle shouted in the direction of my father

"Minfeng! Hurry up and take your people behind you, why are you and that kid doing there!"

Several workers holding brushes grinned and followed their father, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Chong

"Do you tell them if I want to tell them what's going on?"

Zhang Chong shook his head

"Don't, since something happened here, the person still has to go in, it means they have their own plans. If we destroy their plans now, we will definitely be in trouble."

My father nodded and followed the troops behind him. My uncle walked to my father and pulled Zhang Chong over.

"The surname is Zhang, you only know this. You follow that foreman and lead the way."

Although Zhang Chong was born in this industry, he dared to enter yesterday after drinking. Now that he has died, Zhang Chong had sweated when he walked to the front of the tomb gate.

After being instructed by the man in suit, the strong foreman took the person behind and entered the corridor. Everyone was covered with their noses by the smell of blood coming from their faces. When they walked to the front of the bridge, Zhang Chong and his father did not dare to open their eyes. When they thought of the man wearing a yellow Taoist robe yesterday, their ferocious expression, and when they remembered it, they felt cold behind their backs.

But when the two walked to the position they walked to behind the bridge yesterday, the scary body disappeared, and even the blood was wiped clean. Zhang Chong looked at his father from the front and both of them thought that something was strange. Because there were too many people, they also brought more flashlights, not as dark as when the two came in yesterday.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group finally walked to the door in the corridor. The shape and style of the door were the same as the outside. There was basically no difference except the size, but the size was much larger than the outside. The strong man went up and creaked the door. At that moment, he quickly took a step back and fell a horizontal knife from above the door. It was the guillotine used for silence in ancient costume movies.

Everyone behind them exclaimed, it was so dangerous before they could enter, but fortunately the foreman was hiding quickly. Zhang Chong and his father understood immediately that there must be this foreman who went in with the man in the yellow robe yesterday. The man in the yellow robe must have had his legs cut off by this thing.

The people outside used a flashlight to illuminate the inside. This was awesome. A few rays of reflection told everyone that there should be what they wanted in the tomb room. Several people rushed in instantly. After there was no mechanism, they laughed. The people behind them followed. Zhang Chong took out the lighter and found the left oil lamps and poured some kerosene into it one by one. After a while, the entire tomb room was lit up, and several open boxes were placed around the tomb room. Several workers and foremen stepped forward to take out the treasures in the box and took a look. Zhang Chong and his father got together. The two of them had less financial reports than the other boxes, and there was very little dust on them.

"These treasures should have been taken away yesterday." Zhang Chong leaned into his father's ear and said.

My father nodded and walked towards a box. Most of these boxes were pearls and stones, and porcelain calligraphy and paintings. According to the plot in the novel, it was impossible to get these treasures so quickly when you entered this tomb. You have to go through a difficult time. Zhang Chong found that there was a line of words engraved on the wall behind each box. He approached and patted the dust on it. After looking carefully, he found that there was a secret door behind each box. His father walked to Zhang Chong.

"What's written on it?"

Zhang Chong took a ruby-shaped ring from the box next to him and smiled

"It's probably what it means. This chassis treasure is a little gift from the two tomb owners for the visiting guest of this tomb. I hope we won't continue to move forward. It is said that there are many mechanisms inside and it is very dangerous. I advise us to give up and leave quickly with these things."

The man in a suit only looked at the things in the box for thousands, but never reached out to touch it. His father looked at Zhang Chong.

"Isn't this a joke? Why can't this little thing satisfy these people at all? I guess the cleaning here is almost done, so we have to continue in..."

Before my father finished speaking, he saw something. There seemed to be a piece of white under the pearl necklaces in a box. From a distance, it should be a piece of beautiful jade. My father walked up and pulled the necklace next to him to the side. Now it was really a piece of good jade that people who didn't understand could see.

My uncle quietly ran to my father's side

"If you want to take it, take it quickly. This thing is yours, don't let others see it." The father looked at the white jade carefully and wiped the dust on it with the corner of his clothes.

There are two dragons carved on this piece of jade, with the two dragons facing each other, and there is a bead in the middle. My father has read a book, and he knows that the name of this pattern is called the Double Dragon Playing Bead. He held it in his hand and weighed it, just right, just like a perfect good object. Zhang Chong also put his body in his father's ear.

"Hurry up and put it away, and you will not be able to take it away after a while. This is a good object."

At this moment, my father's consciousness was lost again...

...

Grandpa called me out of bed early in the morning, and after putting on his clothes, he took me to a breakfast on the street. I remember that I had very little or even almost nothing. We almost didn't talk about soy milk and fried dough sticks. Grandpa took me to the next to the gas station.

Every hour, a car passed by to the center of Linshi. The destination of these two cars was not far from my mother's workplace. Grandpa rested his motorcycle and pulled me to wait for the car on the side of the road. Today, the car was lucky. Not long after, the car arrived in front of us, and after getting on the bus, he found a seat to sit down.

It takes about two hours to drive from the gas station to the destination. When I was a child, I was a little sick with motion sickness, so the first thing I did when I got on the bus was to close my eyes and sleep. When I woke up, I was about to arrive, and the scenery in the car was not very good. After getting off the bus, my grandfather bought me an egg cake and the two of them walked towards the fast food restaurant where my mother worked.

After about twenty minutes of walking, I saw a familiar place and took my grandfather to the alley and found the fast food restaurant I had visited.

When the proprietress saw that it was me, a smile immediately appeared on her face. I didn't walk forward, grandpa walked up to the front, and mother came out of the kitchen. Reality saw me and asked me why I came, and then when I saw grandpa, I understood everything. I didn't care about them, but walked to the restaurant and found a seat to sit down. Then I placed the cut newspaper next to a pile of newspapers. It was a child's obsession, and I didn't know what I wanted to prove at that time. I only remember that when I came to this restaurant last time I mentioned the ancient town of my hometown to the proprietress.

Not long after my grandfather talked to my mother, my mother walked in and touched her head. Then she walked out. For about half an hour, I was playing with Tetris in the store with the remote control. The boss lady also walked in from outside. Seeing that I lost playing, she picked up the remote control and looked at me.

"Pingping, this Tetris is not like this. Don't always think about reaching a line. You have to always think about how to connect the next line. Let me play it for you."

As soon as the boss picked up the remote control, a customer came to the store. She hurriedly handed me the remote control.

"My mother must treat her well after she goes back with you. Your mother has worked very hard. She must repay your mother when she grows up and earns money."

After saying that, I touched my head and walked out. It turned out that my mother had promised grandpa that she wanted to go with us.

After my mother prepared the customer's food, she packed up her things and said goodbye to the boss's wife. The boss's wife followed us to the intersection. Before leaving, I waved to her, and she also waved to me with a smile.

My mother took a suitcase and held my hand. Grandpa walked in front and my mother and I followed behind. When we reached the station, Grandpa asked me if my mother and I were hungry.

"Pingping, are you hungry?" Mom looked down at me.

I shook my head, and my mother shook her head at my grandfather. Then my grandfather went to buy a ticket to go home, and soon got into the car home. I told my mother that I won the prize when writing compositions at school. My mother smiled and looked out the window. I leaned on her shoulder and fell asleep. When I was asleep, I heard my mother's sob.

When she got home, the grandmother happily prepared the meal and asked her mother if she was living outside. The mother didn't say anything, but she agreed with what the grandmother said. Before her mother came back, she knew that her father was not at home, which may be the reason why she was willing to come back.

After dinner, my mother took her luggage upstairs to clean up, and without saying anything, she took me to my aunt's house on a bicycle.

...

When my father woke up, he was already in his uncle's tent. Zhang Chong sat beside him, and the white jade bi was placed on his head of his father's bed.

"You woke up, you were so scared that I was so scared. Do you still remember what you gave birth to?"

Zhang Chong poured a cup of hot water from the kettle next to him for his father. His father sat up with his head covering his head and tried hard to recall, but he could not remember what he had given birth to.

"You took this piece of jade and looked at it. You ignored it when people talked to you. Then you suddenly fell to the ground after looking at it for a while, then your eyes turned upwards, spitting white foam in your mouth, and twitching. It was really scary, and everyone scared you back. Now the workers think that you have a bad physique and are being evil and asked you to go home. I think your uncle also means that. If you guessed correctly, you will leave today."

My father patted his head hard

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Chong patted his father's shoulder

"The yin energy in this tomb is heavy. Besides, after so many years, why don't you know whether the air inside is poisonous or not. You can go home and rest first. It's impossible for them to stop working alone, but don't worry, I will tell you if there is any news."

The father nodded.

Just after that, my uncle had already packed his luggage for his father

"Nephew, go. If you want to stay here, the workers dare not continue. I have arranged the car and will be home tomorrow morning. I will keep your money in your bag. The boss asked you if you want this jade bi. It is not easy for you to take it away if you want it."

The father shook his head.

"It's okay if you don't want this. After all, it's a dead thing. It's not clean. If you touch it..."

My uncle didn't continue talking when he saw his father like this. My father took out something from his suitcase and handed it to Zhang Chong a bottle of white wine and a pack of cigarettes.

"I'm very happy to give you this brother, and I'm lucky to have a drink together. You know where I am, come and find me."

Zhang Chong stood up and hugged his father

"Okay, brother."

My father followed my uncle out and got into a van. Sitting in the car, he looked at the construction site outside the window. My father was still a little reluctant. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't get the treasure or saw the real appearance in the tomb.

It was morning when my father arrived home. As soon as he walked into the house, he met his mother who was making breakfast...
