The two of them stared at each other.
However, because of his experience in the water cave, the little brother's gaze was no longer as cold as before. Of course, there was still no emotion in his eyes.
Seeing the little brother staring at him, Lin Jiu seemed to want to see through him. The two of them stood under the moonlight and looked at each other for a long time.
Finally, as if they had made an agreement, the two of them retracted their gazes at the same time.
The young man didn't ask, and Lin Jiu didn't answer either. They turned around and left.
In fact, based on Lin Jiu's experience, even if the little brother came to talk to him now and he told him the truth, the little brother might not believe it.
This matter was thrown to the back of Lin Jiu's mind. After seeing these people in the world of stealing pens, Lin Jiu had long passed the initial stage of novelty. Right now, he was only thinking about how to enter the tomb and how to obtain more points.
Lin Jiu didn't know how strong this system would eventually make him.
However, at this moment, he could not help but look forward to all of this.
There was no shower room in the guest house, only a few large wooden buckets. The lady boss had to boil water on the spot, and only three people could wash at the same time.
Wu Xie pulled Lin Jiu and the little brother and jumped into a wooden bucket each.
The little brother closed his eyes in the bucket and did not answer a single question.
Wu Xie started talking about Lin Jiu, starting from the boatman in the water cave, then talking about the girls he had pursued in those years, and finally talking about how he had won an award when he was young.
After taking a hot bath to get rid of the stench of corpses, the three of them slept in a three-person room at night.
Early the next morning, Wu Sansheng woke everyone up just as the sky had brightened. After breakfast, they followed the trail up the mountain.
Wu Sansheng had walked around the village last night. Using the position of the stars in the sky, he concluded that there must be a tomb deep in the mountain.
Wu Xie didn't know if it was true or not. She kept complaining about Wu Sansheng's bad habits to Lin Jiu along the way.
After walking up the mountain road for more than an hour, they arrived at a pile of rocks.
At this moment, there was a familiar figure in front of them. He was singing a folk song and smoking an old dry cigarette. Behind him, a big yellow dog with shiny fur was wagging its tail and wandering around.
The big yellow dog had a sharp nose. It immediately barked when it smelled the scent of a human.
The figure sitting on the stone pestle heard the dog barking and stood up to look at Lin Jiu and the others.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but the moment he stuck his head out, he was bumped into by Big Pan and Big Puppet.
"Damn it, I was just looking for you, but you came knocking on my door.”
The Great Puppet quickly chased after him, forcing the man to run around in the mountains. When Big Pan saw that the old scammer was about to run, he picked up the double-barreled shotgun, aimed, and pulled the trigger in one go. He was about to shoot.
However, Lin Jiu was faster than him. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it, hitting the knee of the escaping person. The person fell to the ground in pain and screamed.
Wu Xie ran at the front and went up to take a look. It was the old man.
Big Pan glared at Lin Jiu, feeling a little unhappy that his mood had been swept away by him.
Previously, when Wu Sansheng and the others came to the Guazi Temple, it was this old man who sent them to the water cave in an ox cart. Then, he called out the boatman and asked him to bring Wu Sansheng and the others into the water cave.
Wu Sansheng was an experienced person. He had eaten more salt than Wu Xie and the others had ever eaten in their entire lives. He could tell at a glance that the big yellow dog and the old man had eaten dead meat.
However, when they finally entered the water cave, the old man led the dog away.
At this moment, he looked into the distance and saw two cows grazing on the hillside.
Dapan went up and grabbed the old man's ear, twisting it hard. The old man begged for mercy in pain, and immediately confessed that he and the ship's boss had deceived pedestrians, killed people, and robbed goods.
"Grandpas, look at me. I'm already old. Half of my body is buried in the yellow soil. Just let me go like a fart, okay?”
"I'm a person who values fairness the most."”
Wu Sansheng said,"You almost killed several of us. It's not appropriate to let you go just like that, right?"”
The old man nodded." Yes, yes. It's not suitable. It's not suitable."”
"We came out unscathed. The captain died in the water cave. It doesn't seem appropriate to kill you too.”
"Yes, it's really inappropriate, really inappropriate.”The old man kept nodding.
Wu Sansheng pulled the old man up and pointed at the mountains wrapped in fog."
"We want to go in. Please lead the way.”
That old man was obviously a person who was used to playing tricks, but now, in front of Lin Jiu, Wu Sansheng, and the others, no matter how many tricks he had in his stomach, he had to temporarily straighten them out and work hard.
Dapan gave Great Puppet a shovel and let him hold it in his hand. He walked behind the old man.
The old man was so frightened that his body trembled. He did not dare to breathe loudly and obediently led everyone into the mountain.
The journey into the mountain was very rugged. The group walked from morning to noon. When the poisonous sun came out again, everyone was numb from the sun. Big Pan looked unhappy and walked at the front, thinking about something.
Wu Xie really couldn't walk anymore. She sat down on the grass, took out a bottle of water, and drank two mouthfuls before handing it to Lin Jiu and the little brother.
Big Puppet felt uncomfortable under his butt. He reached out and actually took out a phone from the weeds.
Wu Xie picked it up and saw that it was still stained with blood.
"That big sister is right. We are not the only ones who entered the mountain.”
Wu Sansheng called everyone to continue into the mountain. Finally, before 4 p. m., they arrived at the camp where the team was stationed.
More than a dozen military tents were stationed on the ground. Inside the tents were gasoline, food, sleeping bags, and a lot of equipment. They were still neatly arranged, but the people were gone.
The sky was already dark, so Lin Jiu and the others simply made do with it in the tent for the night. At night, Wu Xie would always tell Lin Jiu and the little brother ghost stories. In the end, Lin Jiu told a ghost story, scaring Wu Xie so much that he did not dare to go out to pee in the middle of the night.
Lin Jiu found a map from the tent. In the middle of the map, there was a strange fox head pattern. Wu Sansheng looked at the fox head and carefully searched around. Then, he squatted down on a piece of soil and used his nose to smell.
"Third Master, how is it?" Great Puppet asked.
Wu Sansheng said," It's right under here, but it's buried deep. You guys dig in first."”
Big Pan took out a total of 13 sections of steel pipes. He quickly assembled the Luoyang shovel with Wu Sansheng's hands and dug down section by section.
When they were about halfway through digging in Luoyang, Wu Sansheng was suddenly overjoyed.
"We're here!"
After he finished speaking, he asked Dapan and the others to pull the shovel out of the ground.
This pull was not a big deal, but the bottom of the Luoyang shovel brought out bloody soil mixed with blood.
It was obvious that there was a bloody corpse below.
The others picked up their shovels and quickly dug a hole, leaving only Lin Jiu and Wu Xie on the ground.
Wu Xie hesitated. Compared to the others here, he was obviously more curious about the identity of Lin Jiu and the little brother, especially Lin Jiu. Just a trip to the water cave had brought him too many questions.
However, Wu Xie did not directly ask about Lin Jiu's background in the end.
Big Pan and the others had been digging for a few hours when they suddenly shouted from below,"
"Hey, it's connected, it's connected."
Wu Xie could not hold it in any longer and was the first to enter the cave.
Lin Jiu turned around and looked at the old man who had fallen to the side, then followed him down.
