Chapter 26

() Found the way home!

The strange things about Bailongdui must not be irrelevant. Changdong asked Fei Tang: "High Ba and the others have all gone?"

"I've all gone, I left quietly. I don't want people to know that there were two or three people left in the big tent to guard the house. I said I peed and slipped out... Brother Dong, I'm back."

Changdong reminded him: "Be careful at night, it's not very peaceful here."

Fei Tang nodded and left with his neck shrank. He didn't dare to look at Ye Liuxi. After being taught a lesson by her, he was always a little afraid of her.

Changdong turned to look at Ye Liuxi: "Let's go? Is your feet easy to leave?"

Ye Liuxi had already carried the knife in his hand: "So what if it's hard to leave? You won't carry me, I'll overcome it myself."

Changdong wanted to laugh, but she felt that she was right: Who would follow someone else in the middle of the night? She would carry one on her back?

It was not as good as the daytime, so it was difficult to check the footprints on the ground. Hui Ba and the others had been away for a while and left the camp. They didn't know which direction to chase after him. Chang Dong said, "Wait for me."

He looked around and rushed to the edge of a dirt platform in a few steps. He climbed up his long arms and took advantage of the force under his feet. His body was very light. He ran a few times and stood on the top of the dirt platform.

Ye Liuxi raised his head and saw him looking in all directions, then lowered his center of gravity and quickly slid down: "This."

Hui Ba and the others didn't walk fast, and they wandered all the way. In a few minutes, the two of them hung their tails, didn't get close, but followed from afar.

Ye Liuxi then asked him: "Have you practiced?"

Changdong didn't react immediately: "What?"

Ye Liuxi stretched out his finger, gestured upwards, and said, "Swish..."

"After playing parkour for a while, when it comes to fighting skills, he is only a second-rate, not as good as the national three-time martial arts champion."

Three national martial arts champions...

Ye Liuxi felt that it sounded familiar, she must have heard of it somewhere.

Hui Ba and the others stopped and walked around, occasionally looking for marks by the earthen platform. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that the wind was stronger here, and the strange sounds of returning from Yadan group were even more strange. Ye Liuxi looked back several times and thoughts came up. He felt that it was not good to scare him.

"I'll tell you a horror story."

Chang Dong stared at the person in front of him and responded casually: "Yes."

"There was a man and a woman who went to follow a group of people late at night. The man was fast, and the woman was behind and followed. The woman was suddenly dragged away by something! But the man didn't know and kept following..."

Changdong suddenly stopped, Ye Liuxi didn't pay attention and almost hit his back.

She tsk: "Isn't it scary? What's even more scary is that there are people following the man. He thought it was that woman, but it wasn't..."

"hand."

"ha?"

Changdong reached out, covered her palms, and then held it: "I'm timid, I'm afraid there's something messy behind me later."

Ye Liuxi's eyes flashed over the hands that were shaking between the two: "When I talk about hands, I thought of another one, that is, the man kept holding the woman's hand, actually..."

Changdong clenched her hand hard.

She finally stopped telling stories.

...

After about half an hour, I arrived at my destination.

The wind was strong, and Ye Liuxi was avoiding the nearby earth platform. He looked at it and counted roughly, including Hui Ba, nine people.

The lights in the earthen platform group were shaking, everything was rough, but in order: several iron shovels were tied to the tops, leaning against different positions, illuminating the place. Gray Ba was the supervisor, and two people were arranged to climb to a high place to keep watch. The remaining three people were divided into two groups and took turns to work.

For a moment, besides the sound of the wind, there was only the sound of iron shovel chopping the earthen platform, and Huiba scolded from time to time: "Slow! Slowly, don't break the surface of the coffin. Didn't you see any small painting? Paintings are works of art, which are valuable!"

Changdong saw clearly: the so-called coffin was located halfway up the ground, embedded deep in it, and had to be chiseled out little by little.

Ye Liuxi was a little surprised: "This is not called a coffin, it should be buried under the ground. Is this considered on the ground?"

That's right, it's almost half a person tall from the ground, and it's not considered "being buried in peace".

Changdong whispered: "Also, the surface of this coffin is really a wooden board, which is different from the local tomb habits..."

Take Xiaohe Cemetery for example. Most of the coffins are wrapped in cows. Experts explain that live cows are slaughtered on site, and then peeled and wrapped in cows. After being buried, the cows will shrink due to dryness, and the sand will suck blood and all the water dry, so that the corpse can be preserved as well as possible... The ancients came up with this method due to the harsh environment, but it was indeed useful. Western explorers who later excavated the cemetery were quite amazed by this.

Doesn't the coffin take similar protection measures? Does it mean that the burialist is not very concerned?

Changdong felt that Hui Ba might be happy.

The progress of digging the coffin was not optimistic, and three or four groups of people were replaced. Even Hui Ba was busy until midnight, and he only dug a long and narrow notch at halfway up the waist of the earth platform, revealing about two-thirds of the body of the coffin... The coffin was inserted into the earth platform, like a tongue stretching across his mouth.

He came over with a rope ring: "Master Ba, please pull the fiber."

Hui Ba didn't care about the coffin face of the artwork and spat on the ground: "Put it on, everyone is here, pull it!"

The battery was insufficient to charge, and the flashlight became a little dim. After a busy work, the coffin was tied up, and four people stood on each side, with the shoulders on the ring rope, and the rope was pulled, and he shouted: "One, two, three, walk!"

For Hui Ba, continue to shovel and dig as an auxiliary: see which end is loose, add two shovels to which end.

I don’t know if he was lucky or bad: after a few minutes, the end of the coffin embedded in the earthen platform suddenly loosened, and was pulled hard, almost slipped out... The two people standing in front were out of sight and were knocked away, and their heads were hit on the earthen platform diagonally opposite.

The coffin hit the ground with a bang, sand and dust rose everywhere, and was immediately blown away by the strong wind.

I was confused for a moment, and there were all kinds of yelling. In the chaos, someone said, "Master Eighth Master, I can't do it anymore, my head is bumped like this..."

Just now, he was alive, but suddenly he broke two pieces in a row. Changdong felt a little embarrassed. Ye Liuxi said, "This is not a good sign, the coffin has not been opened yet."

Hui Ba shouted: "Don't yell, carry the person to the side first."

His words have always been intimidating. After a pause, he led the way and took his two companions aside. The others watched, thinking that they had eaten and lived together not long ago, their faces were a little complicated.

Hui Ba said: "I am loyal and I didn't say anything! Chen San and the hornets opened the way for us. They divided half of the things in the coffin!"

Everyone stood silently for a while, and the leader of the tits was furious: "Master Eighth Master, this is not suitable, just give more. They have so many, brothers can only chew the scum."

Others were also dissatisfied:

...Yes, yes, no matter how many people are, they can't enjoy it...

...If the wife at home is cheaper, then she will not be cheaper for other men in the end? Then it’s better for brothers to share more.

Hui Ba saw that his subordinates' emotions were rising again and again from the panic just now, and exchanged a knowing look with Kuoya with satisfaction: "How to talk about it again, open the coffin first."

A few people suddenly surrounded the coffin, and the two bodies left that were not dead were left on the side, slowly becoming cold in the strong wind.

Although I had known that Hui Ba was not a good guy, Changdong could not help but feel heartbroken when he was doing this naked and ruthless turn against each other.

Kuoya suddenly shouted: "Bao...Master Ba! This is not a coffin, it is not a nail at all."

Others also started to clamor.

"Look at this side! There is a hinge! My grandfather's house has an old box that is like this, and it will be opened as soon as it is lifted."

"It's like a box, but this shape is a coffin..."

...

Hui Ba cursed: "So many nonsense, just open it and take a look."

He put his hand on the lid of the coffin.

At this moment, the wind suddenly became louder, and there seemed to be a faint sound from the strange sounds I used to hearing. Listen carefully, it was a humming softly.

Gray Ba frowned: "Did you hear it?"

The humming sound was intermittent, sometimes not. After listening to it for a long time, Huiba vaguely identified a few words: "Yumen Pass... Entering Pass..."

Changdong also listened intently, but the sound was dispersed too much by the wind, and he could only vaguely hear the sentence "You hide your beauty in the golden house"...

Ye Liuxi smiled: "I think this matter has something to do with me."

She crossed Changdong and walked out generously.

Hui Ba suddenly saw someone appearing behind the earth platform. He was so scared that his hair stood up all over his body. He saw that he was Ye Liuxi and Changdong were coming, and his heart was beating like a drum.

He didn't know why Ye Liuxi was on the booklet, but looking at her style, she felt that she was not a person who was easy to mess with, so she always adhered to the principle of not offending if she could not offend... She suddenly appeared late at night, and there was a ghostly scorpion painted at the corner of her eyes, smiling and changing.

Hui Ba laughed dryly: "Sister Xi... I won't take you to sing like this and it's scary..."

Ye Liuxi said: "I heard it clearly, am I singing?"

Without her reminder, Hui Ba just finished speaking and found that she was thinking wrong: the sound was at first faintly, but later it was like a tide of swaying in the sky...

"Yumen Pass, Ghost Pass, blood flows when you come out of the pass. You are so happy that you hide your delicacy in the golden house. No matter how much I enter the pass, I burst into tears..."

The people of Huiba gradually understood it. They all looked pale and their legs were trembling even when they had their teeth. Huiba swallowed, and suddenly became angry and shouted: "What's the point of pretending to be a ghost!"

As he said that, he waved the iron shovel in his hand and threw it hard towards the darkness. The iron shovel head was sharp, and with the force he used, the shovel head was about an inch and inserted into the saline-alkali soil, but he couldn't stand and was about to fall down tremblingly.

Hui Ba looked very angry: "Sister Xi, I'm polite to you all the way. I'm not afraid of you. Give me a clear word. Are you here to intercept the goods? If you come first and then come, I'm so angry that I'm here to die of blood. I'm asking me to give it to you. I feel unhappy."

Ye Liuxi smiled: "I think too much, I just watch the fun."

Hui Ba was a little unbelievable, but since she was acting, he would never turn his back: "Then the relationship is good, but I am not a person who is not good at the Tao. If it is really a box of good things, Sister Xi, if you have a share of the person you see, you can choose two more..."

He bent down and stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the coffin...

Before Ye Liuxi could see clearly what was in the coffin, she suddenly heard someone exclaiming, and then heard the sound of Breaking the Cang. She quickly turned around...

Something came in a row, and finally hit the earth platform not far away with a clang.

It was the iron shovel thrown out by Gray Eight.

He jumped up with his teeth: "Who! Who is there? Brothers, search the guys, don't be fooled by others..."

With a dull sound, the coffin lid that had just been lifted fell down again.

This sound attracted everyone's eyes.

Hui Ba was still in the position of leaning over, motionless, his clothes were filled with wind, and a bunch of hair on his head was blown to sway.

He plucked his courage to go over and half-squatted down to look at him: "Bao...Master Ba?"
