Chapter 29
Zhang Qiu stared suspiciously at Li Shu. “Say, did you lost your marble?”
“Are your buttock itchy?” Li Shu answered with a bowl of light question. Zhang Qiu was immediately frightened with Li Shu’s meaningful glance. He could not help but recall Li Shu’s big place, his chrysanthemum tightened, and he immediately laughed and flattered, “You’re the best, it’s the slip of memory that nobody can forget you. At first glance I know it’s my family’s overbearing Li Shu.”
The lackey Xiao Song Bao is really seriously cute.
Li Shu just looked at Zhang Qiu with desire in his eyes. Seeing Zhang Qiu’s swallowing saliva, the man’s eyes were like shedding off his clothes. His brain instantly filled up with millions of shameful deeds. He-he-he how shameful ah!
“Wait — need to clean you up.”
Li Shu’s voice was very low. Zhang Qiu didn’t hear it clearly, he was thinking that there might be an ancient tomb outside under his feet. At the side, Pixian HuiWang could not fight in the field. [T/N: it was an internet slang for game reference, I don’t quite understand it]
He’s so dirty, he’s even infected by Li Shu.
After yawning and was full, the blood accumulated in his brain, Zhang Qiu’s eyelids dropped and he sat in the seat confused and said, “You come up and sleep too, I think for a while and a half –”
Before he had finished, there was a sudden muffled sound of “boom” not far away. Although it was muffled but the sound was very powerful, so Zhang Qiu was frightened into a startled, his sleepiness drawn away and his whole person became spirited. He could not see anything in the distance, and the grass was too high, but the sound could not be forgotten.
That group of people exploded the hole with detonators.
“Did they really find the place?”
Zhang Qiu finished talking and saw Li Shu and Pixian HuiWang get off the car. He also followed after and said, “It’ll take a while, at least a few hours, right?”
“Go to keep watch.” Pixian HuiWang stared ahead like he didn’t want to miss a moment.
Zhang Qiu agreed it was right, they wanted to cut the beard, so then they couldn’t be too late. He immediately said, “Then carry the bag on your back.”
Three people were carrying backpacks. Li Shu wanted to carry them for Zhang Qiu. Zhang Qiu shook his head. “That’s all right with me. You need your hands. It’s not good to fight when there are too many things with you.” He went down the pit several times and knew that it was better to be carrying his own in case of danger.
Li Shu gave up as soon as he heard that.
Zhang Qiu followed Li Shu, who was just a kilometer away from the four people, but the mountain road was not easy to walk, nor did they dare to use light. They walked blindly in the obscure night, Zhang Qiu’s foot was pitted, and the foot stumbled carelessly. Li Shu, who was in front of him seemed to have an eye behind his head, quickly held him steady.
“It’s nothing.”
Li Shu hummed and held Zhang Qiu’s hand tightly, but kept moving.
The sound of detonators became more and more muffled as they neared. Zhang Qiu knew the pit was going deep, but he didn’t expect these people to be fast enough. One or two hundred metres ahead was the camp of four people. The three camp lights turned on the brightest. The center of the light was like daylight. In the distance, only two people could be seen standing in the center. He just wanted to have a better look, but he was pressed into the grass by Li Shu.
“Shh.”
Li Shu’s lips were close to his ears, and the cool breath drilled in. Zhang Qiu nodded and tightened up, gazing vigilantly ahead.
Zhang Qiu was licked on his ear by the ice-cold and slippery tongue. Zhang Qiu was startled by to be licked on his sensitive spot. His legs were instantly soft. He was held in arms by Li Shu, who kissed the tip of his ear and bit it. Zhang Qiu shivered slightly. A crisp and numb electric current rose to his scalp and his whole body went soft.
Li Shu smiled with satisfaction. "So it was here ah!"
“Don’t be foolish, be careful not to be found out.” Zhang Qiu was so angry that he whispered in a low voice, but now his soft-spoken words were just like coquettish words, which had no deterrent.
Li Shu pointed ahead. “The distance is just right. Jin LaoDa is not a human being. You will notice it when you get closer.”
Jin LaoDa is not a human being was meant literally, but Li Shu said it like a swearing. Zhang Qiu looked at the grass but when he heard Li Shu saying that, he looked at the shadow from afar that was like Jin LaoDa.
“Next to is the Red Sister?”
“Red sister?” Li Shu asked in a cold and indifferent tone, grinding Zhang Qiu’s ear with open mouth and feeling his partner’s body tremble, he smiled with satisfaction.
Zhang Qiu was soft all over. Li Shu was such a bastard who was not a good talker and always bit his ear. Wait and see, when he finds out Li Shu’s sensitivity, he will tease Li Shu to death!
Zhang Qiu though so in his heart, but on his mouth, he complained bitterly, “I’m wrong, whether it is red sister or not, all of them are not as good-looking as you.”
Li Shu used to hate to hear people mention the two words about how he looked, but now hearing Zhang Qiu said so, he was in a good mood, so he released the ear in his mouth. Zhang Qiu had not breathed out, there was another heavy bit on the tip of his ear, it was painful and numb.
“Next time I dare to mention another woman–”
“Dare not, my bleeding heart only beat for you, I dare not beat for others.” Zhang Qiu almost knelt on the ground and called Li Shu Daddy. Why is this grinding goblin so difficult?
“Cough.”
There was a low cough behind the grass. Zhang Qiu could hear that it was Pixian HuiWang. He was embarrassed at the thought that Li Shu had not just bitten his ear shamefully just now. He stared at Li Shu viciously, but in Li Shu’s point of view, it was Zhang Qiu’s flirtatious gesture.
The muffled sound of the detonator was out of earshot. Zhang Qiu looked at the grass from afar, only vaguely saw what Lao Jin was talking to the red sister. After a while, the boss who stood at the entrance of the hole shouted, “That’s enough! Xiao Gao, you come up first –”
“AHHHHHH!!!!”
A long scream came from the narrow entrance, echoed out the entrance, layered like echoes, landed in the ears of three people on the ground, they instantly changed faces, especially when the boss got far away from the entrance in an instant.
Zhang Qiu was so far away that he could sense something wrong and moved his ear. “There was a scream in the hole.”
Li Shu and Pixian HuiWang also heard it naturally. They didn’t speak or move. Zhang Qiu knew that they were waiting for a moment to stop the nets. But the scream was too sad and disappeared in another instant. There was only the sound of wind blowing around, which made people feel uneasy quietly.
Who knows how long it took, or how many minutes or tens of seconds, but there was nothing and quiet at the entrance of the hole.
The boss was bold enough to shout at the mouth of the hole: “Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao, you listen to me, don’t be fucking scaring people.” In fact, the sweat on his forehead rolled down and his heart beat fast.
There was no sound at the entrance of the hole, like Xiao Gao had never appeared before.
The boss took the lead and looked at Lao Jin. He swallowed his saliva and said, “At first, it was just the matter of grabbing the bead. If I knew it was so deadly, I would not have come.” He gave Red Sister a meaningful glance, meaning that they would form a team and leave as early as possible.
Red Sister’s face was pale and white. She hadn’t gone down the pit for several years. In recent years, the cost of food and clothing depended entirely on the big gigs she had done before, but there was nothing left. But she also treasured her life and understood the meat shield was gone; she didn’t want to fight to earn money and lost life.
Looking at the boss, they both had a tacit understanding, so she echoed the boss’s words, "Yeah right! This thing is too evil, let’s come in the daytime. Anyway, the hole has been opened, so we should find more help, and the boss’s behind the scene financial situation is big, he would not care about spending this money."
Neither of them knew that Jin LaoDa was the short and small man in front of them.
Jin LaoDa looked down and smiled. They didn’t see him. They just listened to Jin LaoDa said, “What you said is not unreasonable. In that case –”
Zhang Qiu’s eyes were dark amidst the grass. Li Shu covered his eyes with his hands. “Don’t look at it.”
“AHHHHHH-”
It was the sad scream of the boss. Soon the other party’s voice stopped abruptly. There were no pictures but the sound alone was terrible. Zhang Qiu’s heartbeat sped very fast. He pulled Li Shu’s hand down. The boss in the distant had fallen to the ground without moving. Zhang Qiu did not know whether he was dead or fainted. However, by hearing to the scream just now, it did not seem to be any better.
The Red Sister was trembling at the hole, Lao Jin followed step by step, licking his mouth clean of blood, and he seemed very satisfied.
When the two figures disappeared at the entrance of the robber’s hole, Li Shu waved and the three men ran quickly to the camp.
The ground was white with light Zhang Qiu naturally saw a corpse on the ground at a glance, dressed as the boss, but looked like he was dead, as if he had been drained of blood, and stared at him with his bony eyes wide open.
Zhang Qiu’s heart tightened and there was a dull pain in his stomach.
“Don’t look, follow me closely.” Li Shu saw Zhang Qiu’s face was not right. He frowned and asked, “Is there something wrong with you?”
Zhang Qiu thought for a moment, but his stomach didn’t hurt much. He was probably frightened and shook his head. “It’s all right. Let’s go down.”
Li Shu took the lead to go down with Zhang Qiu in the middle and Pixian HuiWang at the rear.
They climbed down at a uniform speed. Who knows how long it took, but Zhang Qiu suffered another stomachache, and soon there was a thick layer of sweat on his forehead. Li Shu stopped suddenly in front of him. Zhang Qiu was a little out of sorts with pain that it went to the top of his head.
"Why did you stop all of a sudden? Is something wrong?" Zhang Qiu worked hard to keep his spirits up, and his stomach hurt even more.
The robber’s hole was very narrow and Li Shu was very tall, it was difficult to turn around. He turned back and asked, “You’re not breathing right. What’s wrong?”
“No –”
“Tell the truth!” Li Shu’s voice was cold.
Zhang Qiu was frightened to be honest. “I have a terrible stomachache.” The pain made him hissed and panted; he remembered that a girl in his college class had fainted with pain before. At that time, he foolishly asked what was wrong. Later, he knew that the girl’s big aunt[1] had come. At that time, he felt lucky that he was a man and did have to meet the big aunt. Now, he just wanted to say what goes around comes around.
It really hurts QAQ.
Holding back his tears, Zhang Qiu’s pain made him dazed; he could only hear the sound of rustling. After a while, he was supported by a cold hand, and the other hand was sticking onto his stomach. A chilly breath seemed to be drilling into his stomach, and the pain in his stomach slowly eased down.
Zhang Qiu felt the cool lips kissed on his forehead and struggled to open his eyes. The bright red flashed through his eyes, followed by Li Shu’s face.
He couldn’t help wondering for a moment.
“How about now? Does it still hurt? ”
Zhang Qiu was pulled back by Li Shu’s question and shook his head. “Much better.”
“The ground here is too wet, it’s not a place to talk. You follow me, but you must say something if your stomach hurts.” Li Shu kissed Zhang Qiu’s eyelids, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned around to continue.
Zhang Qiu followed Li Shu with a blank look in his eyes; that red flashes just now....
At last the climbed down to the bottom and a pungent stunk with blood mingled in the air. Zhang Qiu’s face turned pale and he resisted the nausea. Jin LaoDa went straight to the front of the tomb’s entrance and threw an arm on the ground, it had a half of cut sleeve on the top. It looked like Xiao Gao’s. The ground was covered with blood, and there’s a dismembered Zongzi with green-haired, with its head at the entrance to the tomb, and its black hollow eyes stared at them.
The door of the tomb was closed, and behind it was a long, dark tunnel. Zhang Qiu looked back and forth. “Where did Jin LaoDa go?”
Li Shu looked at the dark trail for a few seconds. “Go ahead.”
They walked in the opposite direction of the tomb. Within a few meters, it was a crossroads. All corners were wrapped in deep and dark. Zhang Qiu shone a flashlight all over, unexpectedly he could not see the end, and committed difficulty again. “Is this a labyrinth?” The labyrinth naturally brought to mind the intricate Tomb of Pixian HuiWang, who was almost eaten by LaoSi as he ran around.
“Not a labyrinth.” Li Shu, with a faint tone, shone a flashlight around him. “Choose one at random.”
Zhang Qiu listened to Li Shu’s calm tone and walked casually. It was no big problem. He pointed his finger randomly, and Li Shu had the final say, “Go!”
“Really take this road?”
“In any case, I don’t know which one is the only right one.” Li Shu said indifferently, “Better than stay where we are.”
Zhang Qiu:...
“Wait a minute–” Such bold decision, it was not good if they were trap in the pit, "then I’ll throw a copper coin again and decide to see. Just now I just pointed at it blindly, really blindly."
Li Shu took Zhang Qiu’s hand, followed by Pixian HuiWang at the back, they did not care which way to choose and did not give Zhang Qiu the chance to throw the copper coin again.
Zhang Qiu thought about it; throwing the copper coin would be done by him, following his blindly pointed finger also caused same effect. He looked at Li Shu’s and Pixian HuiWang’s calm look; it should not be too big a problem. They went down the left side of the tunnel.
Looking at the deep road, in fact, more than a hundred meters away, the end was sealed up in black painted wall.
“The road is wrong.” Zhang Qiu was somewhat disappointed. He had never had good luck since he was a child. He had never been successful in drinking liquor.
Pixian HuiWang whispered and twisted his eyebrows. “There’s water behind it.”
“How can there be water?” Zhang Qiu was stunned. For the first time, he saw water in the tomb. Influenced by his dad’s occasional words, Zhang Qiu knew that the heaviest thing to do to build a tomb in ancient times was the Feng Shui. There was Feng(wind) and Shui(water) outside the site, which was called Feng Shui treasure land. However, water was generally taboo in the tomb. And it also paid attention to the airtight property, as described in the Practice of Taoist Scriptures, it needed to be covered up tightly otherwise the dead soul would leak out incompletely.
Li Shu explained, “It’s a booby trap. It’s used to guard against theft. I don’t know how much water is behind it. Four roads and one is right. The other three are traps. We need to leave now, the wall will be broken by water and the whole tunnel will be flooded.”
Zhang Qiu got hairy and swallowed, "How many years has this tomb been? The water won’t evaporate and dry up, will it?"
“Water is not terrible. It has been used for a long time and for theft-proof purposes. It may not be water anymore.” Pixian HuiWang said.
Zhang Qiu thought so too. Whose house guards against theft and prepares a pool of clean water for you, wait till you come to swim and take a bath!? What about Li Shu’s face in case it was sulfuric acid in the water?
