I have to say that Liu Tingting's misunderstanding of me cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
To put it bluntly, in her eyes, I might just be a heinous little hooligan.
Even if I had saved her life, it could not offset my deep-rooted image of a gangster in her heart.
Seeing the evil smile on my face, Liu Tingting might have thought that I was thinking about something embarrassing. She was so angry that she punched and kicked me out of shame. To outsiders, she might have thought it was a young couple joking.
"Okay, it's time, and I'm still in the mood for flirting, so let's think about which way to go!"
To be honest, I was busy explaining to Liu Tingting. It wasn't until Chen Guishou spoke that I realized that there were two roads in front of me at this moment.
Like the tomb passage we are currently in, there is nothing special about it. The only difference is that the tomb passage in front of us is no longer one road to the end, but is divided into two and becomes two tomb passages.
"Senior Chen, why did two tomb passages suddenly appear? Which one should we take?"
"This is a forked road, also known as a scissors road, and a dead end road. No matter which of these two roads you take, you will have a narrow escape, but you can still survive. I just don't know which of the two roads it is. !”
Chen Guishou looked at the two tomb passages in front of him, his face pale and his eyes awkward, as if he had seen the end of his life.
After hearing Chen Guishou say that both paths lead to a narrow escape from death, Fatty Wu became frightened again.
"Damn it, it's a narrow escape. It can't be so dangerous. I think we should not go forward, or let's go back." Fatty Wu suggested.
I no longer paid attention to Liu Tingting, stepped in front of Fatty Wu, raised my leg and kicked him, and then shouted angrily: "You damn fat man, what are you talking about? There is still a glimmer of hope for life if you go forward, if you turn around Going back is a dead end!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Fatty Wu said bitterly, rubbing his butt.
I turned my head and looked at the other people. After thinking for a moment, I looked at Chen Guishou, the oldest among us.
"Senior Chen, you can't retreat. Now let's see which way to go, the one on the left or the one on the right."
Chen Guishou glanced at me. He didn't speak, but walked back and forth in front of the two tomb passages.
We walked to this section and stopped to take a look. We walked to that section and stopped to watch. We went back and forth no less than a dozen times, which made us a little dazzled.
Finally, Chen Guishou stopped. Seeing this, I hurriedly asked him if he had chosen which path to take.
You guessed it, Chen Guishou turned around and said something with a serious face, but he actually said he didn't know.
I was so angry at that time that my teeth were itching. If he hadn't looked so old, I would have given him a kick just like I did to Fatty Wu.
"Um... Since Senior Chen doesn't know which way to go, I think this is it. How about we divide the five of us into two groups and go both ways? If any group encounters a dead end, retreat back. What do you think about taking another route and joining everyone else?"
There is no other way, I can only think of this way.
I have watched a lot of movies and TV series about tomb robbers, and I know that if we live together, we will die apart, but now we have to separate.
After listening to my suggestion, Chen Guishou frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded silently.
In this way, the five people were divided into two groups and took the two tomb passages on the left and right respectively.
After being assigned, Chen Guishou and I will serve as team leaders.
Before the staff were assigned, Liu Tingting was the first to join Chen Guishou's group. It was obvious that she really didn't want to stay with me.
Naturally, I didn't force it. I really wanted her to be paired with Chen Guishou, because at that time I felt that bringing her along would be a burden.
Although Fatty Wang has always admired Chen Guishou, his relationship with me is always closer, so Fatty Wu chose my group without hesitation.
There were two people in each group, and in the end there was an extra dog.
Gouzi intentionally wanted to be in a group with me, but I refused. I pushed him to Chen Guishou's group.
It’s not that I don’t want Gouzi to be in the same group as me, it’s just that the group is either an old man or a woman, which really makes people too worried.
Gouzi seemed to understand what I was thinking, so there was no trace of displeasure on his face. He turned around and stood next to Chen Guishou and Liu Tingting.
Chen Guishou's three-person team walked into the tomb passage on the right first. Gouzi walked at the back. When entering the tomb passage, he turned back and looked at me.
There was still no expression on his face, but the eyes he looked at me were very strange. They were eyes that I had never seen before. I felt farewell and worry in his eyes.
After watching Chen Guishou's three-person team leave, I greeted Fatty Wang and walked toward another tomb passage.
After walking no more than two steps, there was a loud noise in the long, dark tomb passage behind him.
There were a series of gunshots and some intermittent wails and screams.
"Haha, the guy surnamed Lou came in. He must have encountered that big spider. It was enough for them to drink a pot. It's best to annihilate them all!"
It would be fine if it was true as Fatty Wu said, but things seemed to have been decided for a long time.
No matter how fierce the human-faced spider is, it is already at the end of its power and will not be able to remain arrogant for much longer.
It won't take long for Lou Tianguan's gang to completely eliminate the human-faced spider, and then quickly catch up. By then, we will be passive again.
I heard that Lou Tianguan was still fighting fiercely with the human-faced spider, so I didn't waste any more time. I immediately called to Fatty Wu and quickly entered the tomb passage in front of me.
After entering the tomb passage, Fatty Wu and I ran all the way. I don't know how long we ran. It wasn't until Fatty Wu shouted that he couldn't run anymore that I gradually slowed down.
"Oops... Oops, I'm going... I'm exhausted, Dongzi... let's rest for a while, they won't catch up so quickly."
Not only Fatty Wu, but also I was out of breath from exhaustion. I looked back and listened carefully again to make sure that Lou Tianguan and the others had really not caught up, so I nodded to Fatty Wu and said, "Okay. ...Then take a five-minute rest...!"
Fatty Wu didn't mind that five minutes was too little, and immediately sat down on the ground.
But as soon as Fatty Wu sat down on his butt, he immediately screamed and jumped up again, "Holy shit, what the hell, it hurts your butt so much!"
I was very puzzled when I saw this, so I hurriedly moved forward and followed Fatty Wang and shined a flashlight on him.
Suddenly, they found a corpse that had long since decayed into white bones lying in the corner of the tomb passage, and Fatty Wu happened to sit on his head.
I've seen a lot of corpses, especially the rotten ones with only a handful of old bones left, so I didn't feel anything about it, but Fatty Wu was really scared.
Fatty Wu’s family does not dare to engage in tomb robbing and fighting. They are engaged in activities on the ground, detecting or receiving goods at the front line, just like the sister Wang who keeps teasing me in my live broadcast room.
Having been working on the ground for many years, I have never come into contact with the bones of these dead people, so I am naturally scared to death.
"Brother, I didn't mean to sit on your head. You don't remember the faults of others, but don't get into trouble with me. I'm here to bow to you and apologize."
Fatty Wu seemed to be really scared, and he started to mind his own business.
And I held a flashlight in my hand and began to study the corpse from head to toe.
Although the corpse's body had long since rotted away and its bones had become extremely rotten, its clothing was still intact.
The corpse was wearing a pair of chainmail from the Warring States Period, a kind of armor made of bronze and leather connected in series, with a belt around the waist and a breastplate on the chest.
The head of the corpse was tilted back, and the neck bones were broken, only connected by a trace of residual bone.
I always thought this was caused by Fatty Wang's butt just now, but if I look closely, I can see that the neck bones of the corpse are broken and the ends are neat, which is obviously caused by a sharp weapon.
