Chapter 1 Dumplings
Looking back on all the things in the tomb, it was like a breathless nightmare, the ground collapsed and the mountains were destroyed. I thought this nightmare should end. Who would have thought that when I was about to escape, I actually saw this thousand-year-old rice dumpling like a nightmare again.
This girl was not covered by the yellow sand, but appeared here leisurely, standing less than ten meters away from Chen Yun and I, quietly watching us?
what to do?
Without any hesitation, I grabbed the stone and walked to Chen Yun, looked at the wrinkled face of the old mummy, and shouted, "Ha! What monsters and monsters are there? This is not the place where you are showing off your evil spirit!"
To my surprise, the Big Zongzi brothers just stood there quietly and looked at us without revealing their intention to attack. I was dazzled and was about to pull Chen Yun away, but Big Zongzi suddenly made an action that scared me to death.
He fell on one knee and knelt at us!
I rubbed my eyes hard, thinking that I was dazzled, but the facts proved that I was not wrong. He did kneel down on one knee, buried his forehead, and aimed at the direction where Chen Yun and I were standing.
"Chen Yun, what is this guy doing? Kneel on one knee. Isn't this the Western understanding? Could it be that he plans to invite you to dance with him?" If Big Zongzi just wanted to invite Chen Yun to dance with him, I had no objection, just because I was afraid that this guy would leave a seed on Chen Yun with the thoughts of a jackal. My buddy was always depressed, weighing the stone in his hand, thinking about whether it was a thousand-year-old Zongzi's forehead or my stone was harder.
"Sima Nan, please put down the things quickly. Didn't you see that? He had no intention of attacking us!" Chen Yun asked me to throw the stone, but I thought it was not a problem. Not only did I lose it, I grabbed it closely, thinking that I would do something about it while he was under his forehead, and work on the back of my head.
"Don't move around, be careful to anger him!" Chen Yun looked at me in a dim light, saw my plan, and hurriedly pressed my hand down. She was very exhausted. Although the blood on her arms stopped, climbing up the cliff used all her strength and could only lean on me and said we would go over and see what he wanted to do.
I don’t dare to do it very seriously. The scene of this girl slapping the neck of the big golden chain with one claw is still deeply imprinted in my heart. I don’t have the ability to regenerate “gene”. As long as I shoot the big rice dumplings, I will definitely become a lonely ghost.
Chen Yun was anxious and pushed me gently, saying that you are very brave, why are you so greedy and afraid of death? I refuted her and said that Comrade Chen Yun, revolutionary soldiers are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. What I really care about is not my life or death, but I am afraid that you will be a widow in the future. How lonely you are. Before you ask me to take the risk, you must let me keep a seed first?
Chen Yun's face turned pale. I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss or because I was so angry that I pushed me away angrily and said, "I'll go by myself."
Seeing that she was really walking towards the rice dumpling, I was so panicked that I quickly followed. The two of them walked to the thousand-year-old rice dumpling. He still moved, as if he had kneeled down and became a silly. I coughed and pretended to be flat!
Chen Yun glanced at me, "You're still flat, do you think you're the emperor?" I was so thin-skinned that I was embarrassed to say to her. Fortunately, the big Zongzi didn't mean to attack me, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Lu Chuan and others climbed ashore one after another. When they saw the zongzi half-kneeling in front of me and Chen Yun, they couldn't help but exclaim. Ge Zhuang rushed up with a hatchet, aimed at the zongzi and chopped it. I hurriedly stopped him, fat man, don't be impulsive, don't hurt friendly troops by mistake!
Ge Zhuang is not going to make a turn, saying to a friendly army? What nonsense are you talking about? This is a zongzi!
I said earnestly, "It's true that he is a zongzi, but there are also good things. There are sweet and salty ones. Fatty, how can you raise your butcher knife to him without any distinction? This is a serious rightist mistake."
Ge Zhuang said, "You come too little, it's already the 21st century, and you're still reading big-character posters with me." Then he shrank his neck and came to Da Zongzi and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Ge Zhuang's face was very close to Zongzi. He must have spoken with a breath of yang energy on his face. Then the Zongzi jumped up suddenly and stood up like a javelin. Ge Zhuang was so scared that he wanted to chop him with a hatchet again.
I quickly pushed Ge Zhuang behind, suppressed my fear, and looked at Zongzi. The deep blue eyes were very peaceful, and there was no sign of violence. The intuition told me that the Zongzi in front of me did not have any evil thoughts on me, otherwise I would not have been unable to take action for so long.
Moreover, this old man Zongzi was carrying a rope in his hand. Maybe he was throwing the rope before and the person who came to us climb up was him.
Two seconds later, the bones and joints of the Zongzi moved for a while, making a "crack" sound. They actually loosened the rope in their hand, raised their right hand, which was clenched into fists, and came to me.
I also tentatively clenched my right hand into a fist and touched him for a while. Unexpectedly, he let go of his hand and stuffed a black object into my hand.
I hurriedly shrank my hand and pulled back the things I handed over to my hand. When I looked down, my forehead was buzzing.
The big rice dumpling gave me a rhino horn. There was a piece of the same thing hanging around my neck. Three years ago, I went to the Niuzigou tomb. My second master gave me this rhino horn before going into the water. He also said that my grandfather dug out of an ancient tomb. Why did the same rhino horn fall into the hands of this big rice dumpling and even gave it to me?
I thought of a possibility, and didn't care whether the rice dumpling in front of me was terrible. I pressed his shoulder excitedly, "Have you seen my grandfather? This rhino horn is his, right?"
Da Zongzi stood like a gun, stretching her body straight, and still neither spoke nor moved, as if she had been on a clockwork machine. The previous actions were just a pre-set program.
"Little Pumpkin, how do you determine that this brother Zongzi has seen your grandfather?" Ge Zhuang asked curiously.
I spread out the rhino horn in my hand, and took off the rhino horn on my neck. The two of them were handed to Ge Zhuang at the same time, saying that the rhino horn on the left was given to me by the second master three years ago. He said that this thing was a treasure dug out of my grandfather from the tomb, which can ward off evil spirits. Now the piece on the right is exactly the same, and the piece on the right is very likely my grandfather's.
Ge Zhuang took a breath and said, "Great, the old man has this ability." I said, why didn't this Zongzi attack us? Maybe he is the pet raised by the old man in the Baguo ruins!"
This matter is becoming more and more confusing. Chen Yun said, "Sima Nan, please calm down first. This may not necessarily belong to your grandfather. Have you forgotten? Three years ago in Niuzigou, another rotten corpse had exactly the same hanging around its neck, which shows that this rhino horn is not unique to your grandfather."
I said that this is indeed possible, but my grandfather must have gone downstairs to the Ba Kingdom ruins behind us. I remembered that the patterns we found in the bronze coffin might be my grandfather left to remind me.
