The two men looked to be around thirty years old. One had a crew cut and the other had a parted head.
Both of them were wearing military trousers and navy shirts that had faded in the wash and were ill-fitting. They were probably wearing someone else's.
They probably hadn't washed themselves in several days. Their faces were dirty and their hair was disheveled. One looked more sloppy than the other.
They seemed to be very alert, their eyes were cold, and there was a chill in them.
I thought that if we didn't have guns in our hands, I'm afraid they might just come up and kill us.
At this time, Pingtou glanced at us and asked, "What are you doing? Who fired the gun just now?"
"Didn't I just tell you, colleagues, that the gun accidentally went off just now." Zhao Hu stepped forward with a smile, took out a cigarette from his pocket and scattered the smoke for the two of them, in order to dispel their vigilance.
But the other party didn't answer the cigarette and just continued to ask Zhao Hu: "Do you know what we do? How do you know we are traveling together?"
"It's okay to touch the hall, so do we."
The two of them seemed more cautious after hearing what Zhao Hu said.
Brother Lei got up from the ground at this time, looked at the two of them and asked, "I hear you guys are from Yuyang County, right? Who are you in charge of?"
The two of them looked at each other without saying anything, then Flathead pointed at the tomb door with his chin, indicating that he wanted us to go up and talk.
Maybe these two people looked a bit fierce, and the atmosphere was not right just now. As we walked up, Zhao Hu reminded me in a low voice to be careful. After that, he asked Lei Ge to secretly load gunpowder and iron sand at the end to prevent any accidents. .
When we arrived at the tomb gate, there were two people hunched over a mound of earth washing their hands. They were not washing with water, but with earth.
Their hands were all red, with a lot of blood stained from somewhere, and there was also a drag mark mixed with blood on the ground. The end of the mark disappeared behind a mound of soil not far away.
To be honest, this scene made my heart beat up. I vaguely felt that the blood stains were human blood stains. It felt like a murder scene in a TV series or movie.
I was about to ask them what the blood stains were all about. A middle-aged man who had washed his hands suddenly looked at Brother Lei. He shouted in surprise: "Old Lei?"
Brother Lei narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man, and immediately smiled and patted his thigh: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be you, Toad. Are you doing your old job again?"
With that said, Brother Lei told the three of us not to be nervous, saying that the person taking the lead on the other side was his friend.
The three of us brothers breathed a sigh of relief. As for the man named Toad, I took a quick look and found that he looked about forty years old, with a very conspicuous mustache on his lips.
Brother Lei briefly chatted with Toad and asked about their situation. According to Toad, the brothers were seriously short of money, so they agreed to return to their old business of robbing tombs.
When I was a kid, I heard someone said that there was a prince's tomb nearby, so I looked for it with the intention of giving it a try, and I actually found it.
After learning that we had been here before and that we had found and exploded the tomb door, the toad gave us a thumbs up: "You guys are so damn awesome, and I have benefited from you this time. Otherwise, how could we have found it?" The exact location of the tomb.”
"Then have you found the main tomb chamber? Have you touched the treasure?" Zhao Hu asked hurriedly.
The toad spat on the ground and cursed: "Don't mention it anymore. When you go in, you encounter a pile of corpses wearing armor. There are seven of us in total. Two of us were left inside. One of us was seriously injured and we took him out." , but they died just now, and now there are only four left."
I asked at this time: "When we were down there just now, we heard someone scream. Was it the scream of the person who just died?"
The toad nodded: "Yes, his chest was dug out by the claws, and he was bleeding. He just shouted one last time before he died, and he died after shouting. His body was placed behind the mound. He originally planned to find a place to bury it. The sound of your gunfire scared us so much that I thought it was a police officer coming to arrest the tomb robbers."
Brother Lei sighed: "It's too evil here. Last time we came here, one of us died and another was injured. You know the tall guy, the one who had dinner with you in the previous night market is still in the hospital recovering from his injuries."
Toad also pretended to be angry and slapped Brother Lei: "Old Lei, you are so mean. I used to be in this business, you know, right? Why didn't you call me when you came last time and take me to make a fortune together? .”
Brother Lei pointed at me and smiled bitterly: "I can't help it. I happened to meet them and set up a pot with them. This person is the commander-in-chief, and the boss is another person. I didn't come with him. I first thought of calling you I'm here, but the boss said we have enough people and no more people. Besides, you quit a few years ago, so I'm afraid you won't come if I find you."
"Alas, I gave up in the golden basin before, but now I am forced to have no choice. I am severely short of money."
"Similarly, I'm also short of money, otherwise who the hell would come here a second time? This is a life-threatening business."
As he said that, Brother Lei looked at me: "Commander-in-Chief, what do you think we should do in this situation? If not, just give me some face and let them join the gang. Let's conquer this prince's tomb together."
Before I could say anything, Xiao Zhuizi refused: "What kind of group should we join? Whoever has the ability can get in, and whoever touches the treasure belongs to whom. Why do we need to form a partnership?"
In fact, from the perspective of pursuing interests, there is really no need to partner with them.
Three of their seven-member team died, and now there are only four left. It looks like they have two swords but no real skills. They probably won't be of much use to us. On the contrary, we are well prepared this time and have detailed plans. Plan, I am full of confidence in entering the main tomb chamber. It is not cost-effective to part with this easily obtained treasure.
However, we can't do such detailed calculations now. This is a shady business. Now that we have met them and they are Brother Lei's friends, if we don't agree with them to join the gang, they will most likely stab us out, or turn around and ambush us at the exit. Let's grab the treasure. It won't be worthwhile if one or two more people are killed or injured.
Besides, there must be a lot of treasures in the prince's tomb, and it doesn't matter if you divide them among them, so I agree with them joining the gang.
"I think we should do it together. It's too dangerous inside. There is strength in numbers."
"But we don't need so many people. What we need are professionals, not..."
Little Pigtail tried to persuade me, but before he could finish his words, Brother Lei scolded him: "Why do you do so many things? The commander-in-chief has already spoken, why are you talking so much? If you have the ability, don't rely on the commander-in-chief. Commander, go in and touch the baby yourself, aren’t you a fucking invalid too?”
"What's wrong with me being a useless person? Jianjun is my brother and he won't dislike me, but you..."
"Okay, okay!" I waved my hand to signal them to stop arguing: "This matter has been settled. Let's make a fortune together. No one should say more."
I even winked at Pigtail, telling him not to worry about it.
After settling on the partnership, I called Jianzui and the others over. After everyone got to know each other, it was time for lunch. The next thing was to set up camp for dinner and then discuss the matter of entering the tomb after dinner.
After dinner, when I went to pee in the nearby woods, Zhao Hu and Xiao Zhuzi came over.
The little pigtail walked up to me and said: "Jianjun, I had a quarrel with the guy named Lei just now and refused to let his friends join the gang. Do you think I'm particularly narrow-minded? You think I had a problem with the guy named Lei and deliberately disagreed with them." Join the gang, right?"
I laughed and teased him: "Hey, maybe you have other reasons?"
