I groped my way to the tomb wall and leaned Xu Miaofeng's body against the stone wall of the tomb.
Then, he took out a fire stick from his arms, which he had touched from the Ghost Taoist when he had just escaped. I blew hard on the fire folder several times and finally lit it.
As soon as the fire lit up, the darkness in the tomb was immediately dispersed.
I held the fire folder and approached Xu Miaofeng. She closed her eyes tightly, and her snow-white face was even more pale when illuminated by the fire.
I felt a pain in my heart and whispered: "Xu Miaofeng, wake up."
Xu Miaofeng finally woke up slowly and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing me squatting in front of him, he couldn't help but whisper: "You, why are you still here?"
I nodded and said, "I won't leave you behind."
Xu Miaofeng smiled miserably and said, "It's really rare to find someone as loyal as you nowadays."
"I said I would protect you, and I will definitely do it. Don't worry, you won't die."
Xu Miaofeng sighed and whispered: "Everyone will die, why can't I die?"
Xu Miaofeng has been with tomb robbers all year round, and has lived a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. Killing and setting fires are commonplace, and she has a very open mind about life and death.
I knew it was useless to comfort people like her, so I just said: "It's better to be alive than dead."
A flash of emotion flashed in Xu Miaofeng's eyes, and she said: "Li Rui, we just met by chance. What's more, I once wanted to kill you. Why are you so nice to me? Don't you know that I have an ulterior motive for approaching you? ?”
"I know that everyone must ensure their own interests first." I smiled, "Staying alive is your best interest."
"Yes, I want to live, otherwise, I might have died long ago." Xu Miaofeng also smiled, "I will be grateful for your kindness, but if you take me with you now, it will only drag you down. It’s better to leave me behind, maybe I can still save my life.”
In order not to make me feel guilty, she then added: "You go away, if it were me, I would definitely do this, and I won't blame you!"
I shook my head and said firmly: "I said I won't abandon you, so stop talking nonsense."
Xu Miaofeng felt warm in her heart, but she still pretended to be angry: "Why are you so stupid? Do you really think that a person like me will be inexplicably grateful to you? Don't be stupid, I am a thief, do you understand? Let's go - let's go quickly , hurry up." He said and waved his right hand to me.
It's just that after she was seriously injured, her right hand was weak. After swinging it, it immediately hung down softly.
"You don't have to be so anxious if you want to die." I sighed, "The reason why I took you with me is of course my intention. I also need you to do one thing for me!"
After Xu Miaofeng heard what I said, she calmed down and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"
"After we get out, I have to explain to the people on the island. If you die, I will have no witnesses." I smiled, "This ancient tomb cannot be known to the outside world yet, otherwise we will fall short."
"What? Are you planning to come again?" Blood welled up in Xu Miaofeng's chest, and when she opened her mouth, another mouthful of blood spurted out.
I quickly supported her and said, "That's something to talk about later. In short, you must cooperate with me now. I will take you out and you will help me cover up my lies. Do you agree?"
Xu Miaofeng looked at me with complicated eyes, but she nodded in the end, then her body softened and she fell towards me.
I held her in my arms and saw her eyes closed tightly. She felt her body getting cold and hot. I thought to myself, "If this continues, she might die before she even gets out."
I put the fire folding piece aside on the ground, sat down cross-legged, placed Xu Miaofeng on my legs, and leaned against it. Then I took out a bottle of potion from my bag. This potion was given to me by Wang Mengyao. It was said to be used to treat swelling and pain from bruises. I guess it has no effect on treating this kind of injury, but now there is no other way but to live and die. The horse was healed.
"Men and women are not allowed to be intimate, but in this situation, I can't help it. I'm offended!"
With that said, I slowly untied Xu Miaofeng's clothes and wiped her wound with potion. This kind of bruise potion usually contains alcohol and has a disinfecting effect. At least it will not make the wound immediately inflamed.
At this time, perhaps because alcohol had irritated the wound, Xu Miaofeng woke up from the pain. Seeing me taking off her clothes, she was shocked and hurriedly reached out and pushed towards me.
I was caught off guard, pushed by her, and immediately leaned against the stone wall. My back was hit by the stone wall, and I felt pain immediately, and I screamed out.
Only then did Xu Miaofeng realize that I was treating her wounds. She struggled to sit up and asked, "Are you okay?"
After Xu Miaofeng was injured, she lost a lot of blood, but after I wiped the wound with medicinal wine, she actually improved slightly.
I leaned against the stone wall and saw Xu Miaofeng getting angry, with a blush on his pale face. It seemed that the situation had improved a lot, and he didn't care at all about the scolding.
"I'm fine." I smiled, "As long as you're fine."
After Xu Miaofeng scolded him, he couldn't help but gasp, and immediately leaned against the other side of the stone wall. She thought she was going to die before, so she had no desire to live. Although I couldn't heal her serious injuries this time, it inspired her desire to live.
"Thank you." Xu Miaofeng turned around, looked at me and said.
I was also looking at her at this time.
The two locked eyes.
Seeing the look of concern on my face, she couldn't help but try her best to smile at me.
"Um, are you feeling better?"
Xu Miaofeng nodded and said: "It's better, Li Rui, support me and let's go out together."
I agreed, picked up the fire stick from the ground, then held the fire stick in my left hand and helped Xu Miaofeng up with my right hand. I just felt that Xu Miaofeng's body was leaning softly on my shoulder, and a delicate fragrance hit my nostrils.
I said in my heart: "It smells so good." I supported Xu Miaofeng's body and slowly walked towards the giant coffin.
Only then did I have time to look at the tomb.
This tomb is very spacious, with a huge coffin placed on a dark platform in the middle of the tomb.
The coffin was several times larger than an ordinary coffin. He didn't know how big the corpse was in this giant coffin, so it was necessary to use such a large coffin to store it.
There are many patterns carved on the sides of the giant coffin. There are ghost heads on the front and back, and beast patterns on the left and right, which looks very strange. Ordinary coffins are carved with lotus flowers and lotus leaves, while imperial coffins are carved with things like dragons and phoenixes. This huge coffin has the head of a ferocious beast, which is very unusual.
The platform under the huge coffin was also carved with strange-shaped objects. I was secretly amazed when I saw them.
Xu Miaofeng was supported by me and slowly came to the giant coffin, walked slowly up the steps of the black platform, and stood still. Looking up, he saw that the lid of the giant coffin had been opened and placed on the ground on one side of the giant coffin.
"Could this be the person with the footprints?" Seeing the coffin lid placed on the ground, Xu Miaofeng's heart sank.
I looked into the giant coffin and saw that it was empty. There was only a small pile of ashes at the bottom of the giant coffin. I said: "Before you see that person, nothing can be concluded. How can you be sure that it must be someone else?" Where are the people?”
Xu Miaofeng's pupils slowly shrank, and she asked doubtfully: "Isn't it a human? Is it a ghost?"
"It may not be a ghost. You saw it just now. The things in this ancient tomb are not ordinary people. Since there is a meat walking mountain, it is entirely possible that there is something else." I said.
"Something else..."
"This ancient tomb is actually the same as the outside world. If the creatures inside want to survive, they must have a complete and balanced ecosystem. Rouxing Mountain is undoubtedly the top existence of this food chain. The army of rats is so arrogant, and it also treats them Very scared. But have you ever thought about it, as long as you don’t eat meat, you won’t die. So, who can restrain it?”
Facing my question, Xu Miaofeng was full of confusion. She shook her head, "I can't explain this. It's too profound."
I smiled and said, "It's not profound at all, it's just relatively rare."
At this moment, a white-haired mouse suddenly jumped out from under the coffin. The mouse was much smaller than the mouse king just now, but it was also white. Xu Miaofeng was immediately frightened and was about to fall down if she didn't stand still. However, I was still holding her, and my body was also pulled along with her.
In order to prevent her from falling to the ground and getting hurt, I held her in my arms and used my body as a cushion.
With a "boom" sound, the back of my head hit the ground directly.
Xu Miaofeng was taken aback, "Li Rui, are you okay?"
I gritted my teeth in pain and forced myself to say, "No, it's okay."
Xu Miaofeng lay on top of me and stared at me. There was confusion, flattery, and gratitude in her eyes, "Why are you so nice to me? Do you really think you can influence me like this?"
"Ahem," I coughed, "Can we get up first and then talk?"
Only then did Xu Miaofeng get up. Both of them were leaning against the coffin wall and sitting on the black platform. After a long, long time, I evened out my breathing, turned my head to Xu Miaofeng and said, "Do you still remember what you promised me just now?"
Xu Miaofeng nodded and said, "Remember."
After living and dying with me for so many hours, Xu Miaofeng felt that her relationship with me had become much closer.
Then I felt a little relieved and said, "Do you know why I have to call someone before setting off?"
Xu Miaofeng nodded and said, "To deceive others."
"Yes, because I don't want to expose this ancient tomb."
Xu Miaofeng looked at me and asked: "What exactly is in this ancient tomb? Why do you care so much about it being exposed?"
"Because the secrets it hides are enough to subvert all your cognitions." I looked at her and shook my head, "Forget it, you may not believe it even after I say it. In short, remember what you promised me."
"Okay, as long as I get out alive, I will listen to you in everything."
"Hahaha."
We leaned against the coffin wall and felt a warmth rising from the bottom of our hearts. The warmth slowly spread throughout the body, and the fatigue on the body gradually disappeared.
