Her eyes followed the floor and the wall, making her dizzy and lose her sense of direction. It became more and more intense. The black bricks of the tomb path began to distort in my eyes. I began to feel nauseous and wanted to vomit, but lying on the ground and retching was even more uncomfortable than actually vomiting.
I knew that it was my lack of oxygen or physical exhaustion that caused the hallucination. I tried my best to raise my head to look at the three of them twisting and swaying in the shade, shouting the crow's name in a weak voice.
"Crow, crow." I didn't know if it was because I shouted too softly or if Crow pretended not to hear me, but they continued to walk forward.
Before long, they had walked far away, and even their backs could not be seen. Slowly, darkness descended, and their eyelids closed bit by bit. The whole world turned dark. Although I was isolated now, I didn't feel the slightest loneliness. It was as if I was in the sea of happiness. My body was soft and my mind was relaxed as if I was lying on my own bed. Beside me, my mother gently waved the paper fan to drive away the mosquitoes. In an instant, it brought me back to the happy times of my childhood. I was so immersed in the inexplicable happiness that I couldn't extricate myself.
The footprints of his growth flashed through his mind quickly. It was as if he was playing a movie for him. There was a sense of familiarity in his confusion. He went to steal the apricot with the crow and let the old man who looked after the courtyard chase him for several miles. The three of them played truant together. When they returned home, their father beat them until they couldn't stop crying. School, work, and the faces of my friends and family flashed by, calling my name softly. I only have one thought, sleepy, I want to sleep
Suddenly, he was woken up by someone's forceful slap. When he opened his eyes, he saw Crow's concerned face.”
"How did I fall asleep?" He got up and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth before looking around.
They were still in the ancient tomb, but the furnishings here were completely different from the previous tomb. Why was this an underground palace with a wooden structure?
I was about to ask Crow, but before I could say anything, he asked me,"What are you looking at? Was he that sleepy? You just came down and you're already sleeping?"
"What just came down? Didn't we come long ago? Where did Qiang Zi and Ah Zhu go?”I tried my best to recall.
"Did Qiang Zi squeeze your head? The two of us came down, and he's up there keeping watch.”Crow's answer confused me even more.
What was going on? I thought to myself. Could it be that I was muddle-headed and had a dream just now? I dreamed that I was in the Hidden Sand Tomb, but the entire dream was too real. It was so real that I couldn't tell if I was in a dream or reality.
Crow looked at my puzzled face and lightly punched my chest. She smiled and said,"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
I didn't understand what he meant by afraid, so I asked,""What is it? What was there to be afraid of? Speak clearly!"
Crow didn't answer my question directly. Instead, she asked me,""Brother Peng, can I face you?”
I nodded and said seriously,"How can you say that? What exactly happened? We brothers don't let each other down!”
Crow nodded as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden."That's good. Let's go. Don't let Qiang Zi wait too long!”
As he spoke, he held my hand and walked along the tomb path. I couldn't tell if I was entering or leaving the tomb. I only knew that I was in an underground palace and was being held by an unfamiliar crow.
After walking for a long time, I was so tired that I was out of breath. Crow didn't seem to feel tired at all, and she didn't say anything out of the ordinary along the way. What was even stranger was that the entire underground palace was made of green bricks. The tomb path was oval in shape and there was no door. I felt that the old crow was leading me in circles. There was no end to this underground palace. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He wanted to shake off Crow's hand, but he didn't expect Crow to be so strong. She wanted to hold on tightly.
Crow didn't seem to feel anything when I tore at her arm so hard. Her eyes were focused on the road in front of her. She held the flashlight in one hand and walked quickly. I was already panting heavily, but Crow didn't seem to be breathing. Suddenly, I felt Crow's hands were as cold as ice.
Just as we turned a corner, we suddenly saw Qiang Zi standing in front of us. That's not right. Didn't Crow say Qiang Zi was waiting for us up there? Why was he standing here now? Qiang Zi stood there motionlessly like a soldier. He no longer had his usual cheeky smile as he held a weak flashlight. A trace of fear rose in my heart. The two people in front of me now didn't feel like my brothers who had gone through life and death in the past.
Crow let go of my arm as I walked towards Qiang Zi. Both of them were now standing in front of me, their faces pale without a trace of blood, without any expression.
I asked Qiang Zi in a trembling voice,""Didn't Crow say you were waiting for us up there?”
Qiang Zi's voice was cold and hurried.”
"How did you get down?" I continued to ask, my hands already searching for defensive tools in my pockets.
Qiang Zi didn't answer me and asked the same question that Crow had asked earlier,""Brother Peng, can I stand up to you?”
I answered him with certainty,"Yes, I remember what the two brothers have done for me!"”
Qiang Zi's face flashed with a smile. Under the dim light, it looked extremely strange and terrifying. This face was not familiar to me at all! At that moment, a cold dagger stabbed into my abdomen. I lowered my head to see the blood flowing out.
Crow didn't stop and continued to stab the knife in her mouth,""Are we letting you down? Then don't blame us!"
Only then did I understand. F * ck, these two b * tches wanted to kill me here so that I wouldn't get a share of the profits. I cursed in my heart! While I was still imagining things, Qiang Zi strode forward with a dagger in his hand. I grabbed Crow's hands and leaned to the side with all my strength, trying to avoid Qiang Zi's sharp dagger.
Qiang Zi ran over with a dagger in his hand, aiming at my chest. Crow was now extremely strong, as if her feet were glued to the floor. No matter how hard I tried, it was useless. Crow's dagger that had pierced into my lower abdomen was still extending inwards. I could feel the trajectory of the knife moving through my body. Blood had already covered my entire body. It was over! Qiang Zi's dagger deeply grazed into my heart, and with a 'puchi' sound!
