By the river?
This is definitely a message for me to leave my head. What is he telling me to be careful about?
Something big must have gone wrong while I was away!
I was thinking quickly in my mind, and I couldn't figure out what I hit my head on, and I was walking in such a hurry.
Although it is just one line, I choose to believe that this is the trust between us.
I sat blankly, waiting for nightfall.
Late at night, I walked to the river alone with my bag and headlamp on my back.
In fact, it cannot be called a small river. This river is not small. It is connected to the Dulong River, and the source of the Dulong River is at the foot of the Snow Mountain. It can be said that it does not dry all year round.
The sound of water was rushing, and I walked along the river bank, hoping to meet the leader and the others.
"Then... what is that?"
As I was walking, I raised my flashlight and suddenly I saw something floating on the river in the distance, like a box?
The rushing river rushed closer and closer to the thing.
I took a closer look and saw that it was a rotten coffin floating in the water!
Before I had time to react, I saw two pale human hands sticking out from the rotten coffin, like zombies!
Seeing this, I was so scared that I took two steps back.
Immediately, the two men grabbed the sides of the coffin and slowly sat up...
"Fish...fish...Brother Fish!"
I never dreamed that it would be Brother Yu who sat up from the rotten coffin!
The coffin was carried downstream by the water.
Brother Yu looked anxious and waved to me: "Yunfeng! Hurry! Sit up quickly!"
As soon as I gritted my teeth, I didn't have time to think too much and swam over in the flowing water. Brother Yu pulled me into the coffin.
After lying in, the first thing Brother Yu did was to immediately turn off my headlamp.
In the dark night, this rotten coffin was washed by the river and drifted with the current.
Inside the coffin, we were facing each other, and through the thin moonlight, we could barely see the outline of each other's faces.
River water kept splashing in.
My upper body was soaked, and I gasped nervously and asked, "What's going on, Brother Yu! Where's the head!"
Brother Yu's tone was a little angry.
"Yunfeng, why are you back so late! Three whole days late! If it weren't for waiting for you, we would have left long ago!"
"Brother Yu, I don't want to either! Something happened to me and I was delayed!"
"How about the tasks assigned to me? Have you completed them all?"
I said don't worry, it's done.
Brother Yu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "That's good. I admire the good fortune teller. Otherwise, everything we have worked so hard for will have to be taken away by others."
I didn't understand, so I asked what happened? Who wants to steal our stuff?
At this time, the coffin floating in the river hit a stone and turned a corner. A large amount of river water poured in, just like a boat.
Brother Yu asked me to sit up and lie down next to the coffin to watch.
He wouldn't let me turn on the light.
The river bank was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
Brother Yu said with a cold face: "Don't worry, you will see them soon."
After floating along the river for a few more minutes, I suddenly saw a faint light on the other side of the river. Someone must be camping.
"Isn't that our camp?"
Brother Yu shook his head and whispered with a cold face: "No, it's another group of tomb robbers who suddenly appeared, Yunfeng. If Master Zhe hadn't been vigilant at night, you would only have found our bodies when you came back."
"There is no signal in the mountains, so we can't contact you. We have to pass by this group's camp to pick you up, so we thought about it a lot and decided to take the water route."
"This group of people showed up on the fourth night after you left. They have two purposes. They are to monopolize the tombs that have not yet been found at the site. They are also to rob the things we have dug out and kill people."
"Black eat black!"
I couldn't help but said angrily: "Who the hell is it! I don't want to live anymore!"
This place is off the beaten track and we searched hard for nearly a year before finding it! Now this group of people appeared out of thin air. How did they find the parchment if they didn't have it?
Brother Yu whispered: "You still need to ask? Yunfeng, if you think about it, you should know who revealed the information to them."
I hesitated for a moment, but I already had the answer in my mind.
Is this the back-up plan for the July Climb?
He couldn't defeat us, so he was chased all over the forest by Zhewu. However, the news spread behind his back, and our colleagues were found to kill themselves and kill each other, taking advantage of others.
No...that's not entirely the case.
I remembered the Western Han Dynasty tomb in the cave before, and the strange brick wall... I suspected that it was because I was not fooled at the time, and Qiyue Climbing was eager to find the things in the tomb behind the wall. So another group of tomb robbers was brought in.
But these are all my conjectures, and I won’t know for sure until I see the clues.
Under the cover of darkness, the coffin floated down the river past the group's camp without being discovered.
We drifted downstream for about an hour. Due to the low terrain and fast current, we drifted faster and faster.
Brother Yu turned on the headlight, and I saw Dou Sprout standing shirtless on the shore not far away, with two long bamboo poles in his hands.
I saw the coffin coming down the river.
Without saying a word, Dou Sprout plunged into the water!
He quickly swam a few meters away, stuck the two long bamboo poles in his hands in the cracks of the rocks, and then dived to the bottom of the river.
moment!
The coffin hit a bamboo pole blocking the middle of the river. The two bamboo poles lined up were instantly bent by the impact!
Not broken!
Immediately afterwards, the toughness of the bamboo began to rebound, and it firmly stopped the rotten coffin that Brother Yu and I were riding in! No more drifting along the fast-flowing river.
When we got ashore, Douyazi came over in little red underpants and punched me in the chest. He said, "Fengzi! You're back! Whether you come back or not, I thought you were following Snake Girl back to Nanping, Little Snake Girl." Got it!"
"Get out of here, I'm delayed for something, where's the boss?"
"I'm waiting for you, come on."
Leaving the riverside and going around in circles, Dou Sprout finally led Brother Yu and me into a small cave.
There was a fire in the cave, and I caught a glimpse of Baotou and Xiaoxuan, who I hadn't seen for nearly ten days, as well as Master Zhe!
"Head."
Xiaoxuan stood up and came over and hugged me.
"It's okay. I'm back. If I say I'll come back, I will definitely come back."
Xiaoxuan let me go, her expression showing exhaustion.
"Yunfeng, just come back and warm up by the fire."
I took off my shirt and wrung it out, sat down and asked, "Boss, what happened? Who are those people?"
He raised his head and sighed, "Thanks to the 50% discount this time, Yunfeng, have you ever heard of a gang whose leader is named Xu Chengi."
"Xu inherited..."
When I first heard this name, it sounded familiar.
"Xu inherits?"
"The leader, is that Xu Chengi, who buried his father and uncle with his own hands?!"
He nodded with cold eyes.
I took a breath, it turned out to be this group of people!
Xu Jieqi has a very bad reputation in the industry! Anyone who partners with him will almost never end well! Either missing or confirmed dead.
For money, this man named Xu personally beat his father to death with a Luoyang shovel! Buried his uncle alive again!
This is all true, and more! In order to win over a gunner from another team to help him, he gave his wife and biological daughter to others to sleep with!
It can be said that this person has lost his humanity and has done all kinds of bad things. The Taoist priests nicknamed him: "He is evil enough to reach the sky."
Dou Yazai said angrily: "Damn! There are four people on the other side, and they brought more than a dozen spray guns! There are also explosives! If we hadn't run fast that night, it would have been all over!"
"Ya Zai, please be patient."
He opened his mouth and said: "The reason why I took the initiative to give in and not have a head-on conflict with Evil Tongtian is that I want to avoid casualties as much as possible. Secondly, I know that this group of people will not live long."
"Botou, how do you say this?" I asked.
He raised his head and muttered: "Yunfeng, think about it. Before we went to Guizailing, several groups of tomb robbers had already disappeared. It was Qiyue who crawled behind and used them to open the tomb chamber. Once his purpose was achieved, those tomb robbers were gone. One can survive.”
"These people under Evil Tongtian are all real desperadoes."
"If my guess is correct, they still don't know who July Climb is."
The head continued: "Think of it this way, if we go out and confront them head-on, we will suffer heavy losses even if we win. If we choose to avoid the edge temporarily, it seems that we are at a disadvantage, but in fact we have the upper hand."
"Everything is hidden?"
I nodded.
He smiled and said: "In this way, we have no money and no body, so we can just hide in peace. When we are tired, we go out to see the scenery, and when we are sleepy, we come back to sleep."
I sighed secretly.
The head seems to have seen through everything. As long as we hide and stay still, the most anxious thing is to climb in July.
"Master Zhe, are you injured?"
I just noticed that there was a lot of gauze wrapped around his right arm.
"It's nothing serious. It was too dark that night to see clearly. I accidentally got shot in the arm."
As he spoke, Zhewu's eyes grew colder, and he said in a high-pitched voice: "The leader, give me a chance. I can sneak into their camp tonight and kill them all, leaving no one behind."
I said anxiously: "No! It's not that they have guns! More than a dozen guns!"
Master Zhe's expression changed slightly, he looked at me and nodded: "Yes, they have a lot of guns."
"But... ten steps away, the gun is fastest."
"What about within ten steps?" I asked nervously.
Master Zhe thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The gun is still faster."
