"Speaking of which, Brother Ye, your sheep is cooked, right? How about you share some with us? You can't finish such a big sheep by yourself!”Wang Xuan suddenly changed the topic. He didn't need to worry about water. The fragrance of the roasted sheep also hooked his appetite.
Although Kaede Poisonous Island felt that this roast lamb could only fill him 80% of his stomach, he still gave half of the roast lamb to Wang Xuan and the others in the end. Anyway, he could eat it when he returned to the original world. Even if he didn't eat it, he wouldn't starve to death.
Hu Yi and the others were very satisfied with the fragrant roasted lamb, a little lamb offal soup, and dry bread.
After a full meal, under Kaede Poisonous Island's lead, the group finally arrived at the ruins that Kaede Poisonous Island had discovered two days ago. Fortunately, the ruins and the well in the ruins were not destroyed by the sandstorm.
Hu Yi and the others were fetching water and cooking. They had smiles on their faces that had disappeared for a long time.
After filling all the water bottles, including Poison Island Maple's, Wang Xuan was a little absent-minded as he ate the freshly cooked dinner.
"Where did Brother Ye run off to? Why is there no one here? If it weren't for his backpack and camel, I would have thought he had left!”
"But I haven't seen anyone for so long. Could something have happened? No, I have to look for it!"
The more Wang Xuan thought about it, the more dangerous it became. This desert was not a good place. Quicksand, wild wolves, and other things could kill people. He did not want his friend and benefactor, whom he had just met, to be buried in the desert for no reason.
"Xuan Zi, what's wrong?" Seeing Wang Xuan put down his bowl with an anxious expression, Hu Yi stopped eating and chased after him.
"Old Hu, I think Brother Ye might have met with an accident. I haven't seen him for a long time!”Wang Xuan told Hu Yi his guess, which made Hu Yi anxious. No wonder he kept feeling that something was wrong. It turned out that it had been a while since he had seen Kaede Poisonisland, his great benefactor!
"We do need to search carefully, but the desert is so big. It's safer to let everyone search.”
Hu Yi said. Then, he went back with Wang Xuan to get Miss Yang and the others to search together.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yixin said," Brother Ye told me before he left that he would be gone for about an hour. He told us not to look for him. Chu Jian was also there."”
(Although Kaede Poisonous Island was only 15 years old, he was not short. He looked slightly older than Ye Yixin, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng.)
Chu Jian nodded and spoke for Ye Yixin.
"Did Brother Ye say what he was going to do?”Hu Yi frowned and asked.
"This Brother Ye only said that it was a private matter, so we didn't pursue it.”Chu Jian shook his head. It was immoral to pry into other people's privacy.
"Personal matters? What kind of private matter would take so long to resolve?”Many people in the team were puzzled. Kaede had disappeared from Poison Island for more than an hour.
After dinner, Hu Yi and Wang Xuan looked up at the starry sky and chatted. At this time, Kaede Poisonous Island had not returned yet.
"Xuan Zi, be careful. Brother Ye has a big problem!”Hu Yi said with a serious expression.
"Old Hu, what did you find?" Wang Xuan's expression turned serious. It wasn't that he hadn't noticed Kaede's abnormality. It was one thing for him to mysteriously disappear at night, but when they met in the morning, Kaede had eaten an entire roasted lamb and a lot of mutton offal soup. That amount of food was 80% of their nine-man team's. Moreover, it seemed that that wasn't all he could eat. It really made one wonder where he had stuffed those dozens of kilograms of meat.
"We won't bother about his disappearance tonight for the time being. Let's just treat it as if he really has some private matters that he can't talk about and has to leave for a while. Other than that, there are two suspicious points."
"First, Brother Ye's appetite is too suspicious, but there isn't much food in his backpack. How did he come here with just that backpack? He can't possibly hunt a prey to fill his stomach every meal! Even if his backpack was blown away by the sandstorm, it shouldn't be because his behavior was too natural. It didn't look like he was lacking food at all.”
Wang Xuan nodded in agreement. This was a very serious question. As for the problem of throwing away those backpacks after eating, Wang Xuan didn't even think about it.
"Secondly, I just remembered something. That is the wood that Brother Ye used to live this morning.”Hu Yi's eyes flickered.
"What's so strange about being a blockhead?" Wang Xuan flipped over to express his confusion. Although it was strange to see so many logs in the desert, it wasn't impossible to find them.
"The wood is not strange, but the strange thing is that the wood has been chopped into a moderate size. Moreover, when I touched it, it didn't feel like something in the desert. Everything in the desert was extremely dry. Even if they were buried in the sand, there would be no moisture!”
"Moreover, Brother Ye doesn't seem to have an axe that can chop wood into such a neat shape. He only has a one-foot-long straight knife, and that kind of knife isn't suitable for chopping wood.”
Wang Xuan didn't pay attention to this question, but he didn't refute it out of trust in Hu Yi, because he knew that Hu Yi wouldn't malign anyone, much less lie to him.
"Then Old Hu, what kind of person is Brother Ye? Why do I feel that he is more mysterious than that Miss Yang?”Wang Xuan counted with his fingers, Miss Yang, who was originally the sponsor of this archaeological operation, was a mystery, and now there was an even more mysterious Ye Feng, Kaede Poisonous Island, his head was about to explode.
However, Hu Yi did not listen to Wang Xuan at this time. The strange stars in the sky attracted his attention.
Hu Yi got up from the sand and took out the Eight Trigrams Compass from his backpack. He started to check the stars and the surrounding environment.
"Old Hu, what are you doing? Did you find something?" Wang Xuan lowered his voice and tried not to disturb Hu Yi.
" Xuan Zi," Hu Yicai said happily after a while," according to the records in the secret technique that was passed down in my family, this place is a rare treasure land. There must be a great tomb here."”
"A tomb? What kind of tomb?" Hearing this, Wang Xuan was extremely excited. If there was a big tomb, just taking something out would be very valuable.
"Xuan Zi, calm down. We are now members of the archeological team, not here to rob tombs. Even if we find anything, we have to hand it over to the country.”Hu Yi said seriously. Normally, he wouldn't mind Wang Xuan taking something out of the tomb to exchange for money, but they were now members of the national archaeological team, so they had to restrain themselves.
"Oh, I know. If you don't want it, then don't!”Wang Xuan's interest dropped a lot. He couldn't sell the antiques for money anymore.
"But Old Hu, where is the tomb?”Just because he couldn't fight back didn't mean that he couldn't go in and take a look. A large tomb in the desert was right in front of him. If he didn't go in and broaden his horizons, he wouldn't see Wang Xuan.
"Wait, let me see." Hu Yi knew Wang Xuan's character. He would not go back on his word. He was also very curious about the situation in the desert ancient tomb, so he did his best to search for the location of the ancient tomb.
"The Great Door Star, the Left Assistant Star, and the Right Pilate Star. The three stars are shining and arranged into a regular triangle.”
"The Middle Star, the Sun Star, and the Moon Star appear together.”
"What a good set of dry armor, golden auspicious stars.”
Wang Xuan said helplessly, not understanding.
"Old Hu, just tell me where it is. I don't understand a word you're saying.”
Suddenly, Hu Yi's eyes focused. The corresponding position of the stars, which was the entrance to the ancient tomb, was the well in the ruins. The entrance to the ancient tomb was below the well.
After discovering the location of the entrance to the ancient tomb, Hu Yi immediately told the news to Professor Chen and the others. In the end, everyone decided to go down and take a look. Only An Li refused to go with him, because to him, disturbing the rest of the dead was an act that would be rejected by God.
As a last resort, Chu Jian and Ye Yixin stayed behind to look after An Liman, in case An Liman abandoned them and ran away with the camel.
Not long after Hu Yi and the others went down, Kaede Poisonous Island came back. Seeing that there were only three people left in the camp, he felt strange. So he asked Ye Yixin," Little Ye, where are Old Hu and Xuan Zi?" Why did they disappear the moment I came back?”
"Brother Ye, you're back." Ye Yixin felt very close to Kaede Poisonous Island, so she explained where Hu Yi and Professor Chen were.
"Big Brother Hu just used the technique called the Heavenly Star Fengshui Technique to discover that there are ancient tombs in this well. Now, they have all gone down to take a look.”
"Actually, we also want to go down and take a look. I've never seen the layout of the desert tomb before!”Ye Yixin looked at the well with envy. For an archaeologist like her, an ancient desert tomb was very attractive.
"Desert tomb? There's a tomb in the well?" Kaede Poisonous Island was speechless. He really couldn't understand why someone would build a tomb in a well. Wasn't he afraid that the moisture in the well water would destroy the integrity of the corpse?
"Yes, yes, there is indeed. The professor and the others are going in to take a look now.”Ye Yixin nodded and said," Oh right, Brother Ye, you haven't eaten yet, right? We still have some vegetable soup made from dehydrated vegetables. Brother Ye, you can eat it with the flatbread!"”
"No, I've already eaten!"
Kaede Poisonous Island was not a picky eater, but he had eaten a feast of fish and meat before he came back. He had no appetite at all when he looked at the dry flatbread and vegetable soup.
But now, Kaede Poisonous Island decided to show Ye Yixin and the others something different.
"Little Ye, you don't have to leave food for me. There's no need. In other words, as long as I'm here, I can provide you with enough food and water anytime and anywhere.”
"Haha, Brother Ye sure knows how to joke!”
Ye Yixin didn't believe what Kaede Poisonous Island said at all. Neither did An Liman and Chu Jian. Food and water were not so easy to replenish. Even An Liman, who was familiar with the various water sources in the desert, risked his life every time he entered the desert.
" If you don't believe me, do you want to eat fish?"# Date:08 24 2019 4:16PM
