Watching the stone door, which weighed a thousand kilograms, fall, a chill ran down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel scared. If I had come out even half a step later, I might have been buried alive in the tomb, with those tempting and greedy people. The golden treasures were buried together.
Although we escaped from the tomb chamber filled with yellow sand, we were still in danger. Perhaps because we touched the mechanism in the main tomb chamber, the entire underground tomb began to collapse to varying degrees.
In front of us is a tomb corridor. Although the length and construction specifications are not as grand as the Western Han Dynasty tomb, the workmanship is very exquisite.
The walls of the entire corridor are all made of white marble bricks. They look extremely luxurious at first glance, but now they are shaky and on the verge of collapse.
The white marble bricks at the top of the corridor began to gradually sink, and a large amount of yellow sand poured out of the gaps. Like the main tomb chamber, this so-called mechanism connected the entire tomb, in order to allow visitors to come. The thief who disturbed the tomb owner never came back.
As the yellow sand poured in, a glimmer of light appeared at the end of the corridor. The light was clearly the light projected by the sun.
Seeing that glimmer of light, everyone became even more anxious, quickened their pace, and headed straight for the dawn.
However, things did not go as smoothly as imagined. Just when a group of us were staring at the falling yellow sand and were about to reach the exit, an accident happened.
The dawn that was about to reach us collapsed right in front of our eyes.
"No, the exit is blocked, we can't get out!"
Liu Tingting screamed.
Fatty Wu, who was glittering with gold all over his body, was so anxious that he burst into tears, "Damn it, I can live a happy life right now, why did it collapse? I don't want to be here, I haven't married a wife yet" Where is my son!"
Once danger comes, it is impossible to avoid it. Just as the exit was sealed, the corridor collapsed immediately, and countless huge white marble bricks fell from above our heads, straight towards us...
Just when I thought I was about to be smashed into pulp by those white marble bricks, my feet also collapsed...
As he fell down the yellow sand, he fell into the biting river water again.
Drifting with the current, wandering wantonly in the darkness, my body became increasingly unconscious.
I saw a glimmer of light in my daze, and then I was grabbed by a big hand and pulled out of the cold river water.
When I wasn't so cold, I found that I and several other people were huddled in a narrow well, surrounded by piles of rocks, which was extremely leaky.
Looking up, I saw a height of about ten meters from the wellhead. Outside the wellhead was the endless blue sky. Or at noon, the dazzling sunlight shone directly into the well, which actually made me feel a little bit of warmth.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the wellhead above, looking into the well, "Hey, why is it you? How did you get into this well?"
The person who probed the wellhead was Kestrel. She looked at us in great surprise at the depth of more than ten meters at the bottom of the well.
"I can't tell you at the moment, so you can pull us up first!"
"Okay, just wait!"
After a while, the kestrel poked its head out again, and then I saw a rope falling from the mouth of the well.
Liu Tingting is a woman. If she soaks in cold water for too long, it will inevitably affect her future fertility, so the first thing I thought of was her.
"I...it's my turn, let me get up quickly, I'm freezing to death!"
Fatty Wu scrambled to be the first, but I refused. I put the rope around Lou Tianguan, who didn't know whether to live or die, and sent him up second.
After Lou Tianguan was pulled up, then came Chen Guishou, Fatty Wu, Gouzi and me.
I was the last one to be pulled up. When I was pulled out by the mouth of the well, my legs had been frozen by the cold river water and I lost all feeling.
It was a coincidence that the well we appeared in was the well of the Kestrel family, which also avoided the risk of being watched by the whole village.
The reason why Kestrel, a woman, was able to pull us grown men out of a well more than ten meters deep was all because of her strength and the water puller at the mouth of the well.
I stayed in the sun for a whole afternoon, and my legs were almost recovered. I could barely walk. If I wanted to run and jump, it might take some time to recover.
Kestrel already knew everything, Liu Tingting told him all this.
After hearing the news that the village chief had died, Kestrel was heartbroken.
I remember that she was sad and angry at the time. She picked up a kitchen knife and said she would kill Lou Tianguan to avenge the village chief.
I was the one who stopped her at the risk of being hacked. I told her that Lou Tianguan was still useful to me. He knew what I wanted to know. If he wanted to kill her, he would wait until I asked him. Come on, it’s not too late to kill.
Lou Tianguan still seemed crazy, so I didn't plan to continue questioning him in a hurry. I locked him in a room directly, planning to wait for him to feel better before interrogating him properly.
But what I didn't expect was that that night, this guy Lou Tianguan ran away.
That night, Chen Guishou, who was old and young, got up in the middle of the night for convenience. When he passed by the room where Lou Tianguan was locked up, he heard a noise coming from inside.
At that time, Chen Guishou felt something was wrong, but because the house had no windows and the door was locked from the outside, Chen Guishou ran back and woke us up.
A few of us hurried to the room where Lou Tianguan was closed. I took out the key and unlocked the door. But when I opened the door, the scene in front of me made everyone, including me, Everyone's jaw dropped.
The door of the house was locked tightly, but Lou Tianguan was missing. After searching the house carefully, he discovered that there was a huge hole in a corner where debris was accumulated.
No need to guess, Lou Tianguan must have escaped from this hole.
In the Gobi Desert, bricks and stones are scarce, and most houses are made of soil mixed with coarser sand.
Because of this, the houses in Mofen Village are very thick, in order to increase the strength of the houses and resist the attack of the storm.
Such a wall is comparable to masonry. How did Lou Tianguan do it with his bare hands? He was able to make a hole in such a wall.
Lou Tianguan actually ran away. If I guessed correctly, he might have regained his consciousness long ago just to find an opportunity to escape.
I was actually deceived by Lou Tianguan, a man who pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool. Not to mention how angry I was. I thought I would soon learn from him the information about my mother-killing enemy, but I never thought that all of this would turn out to be... In vain.
I was very angry at the time, but there was one person who was even more angry than me, and she was Kestrel.
Seeing that the cunning guy Lou Tianguan ran away, Kestrel picked up the kitchen knife without saying a word and rode the only horse in her family to chase him out. However, after chasing for a whole night, Lou Tianguan was stunned. No shadow was seen.
Even Kestrel, who has grown up in the Gobi desert since childhood, cannot be found. It seems that this guy Lou Tianguan is really not an ordinary person.
After Lou Tianguan ran away, I was in a state of confusion the whole day. Kestrel was in almost the same condition as me. They were all revenged for killing their relatives.
But Kestrel is better than me. At least she has seen it and knows who killed his relatives. But as for me, apart from the tiger-like pattern, I don’t know what my mother-killing enemy looks like. Not to mention what his name was.
That night was the last night we stayed in Mofen Village. Kestrel took out all the wine at home.
She said she was putting it into practice for us, but in fact she drank most of the wine alone. Of course, I, who was also unhappy, also drank a lot.
Everyone had almost finished drinking, and they all went to rest early. Only Kestrel and I were left, still drinking one cup after another to relieve our worries.
Suddenly, I saw someone walking towards us silently. When I looked up, it turned out to be a dog.
"Come on, Gouzi, have a drink with me!"
I handed over the wine glass, but Gouzi blocked it with his hand. Then he took a backpack off his shoulder, opened the zipper, and took out something inside...
