wake

Su Xing couldn't help but glanced at the zongzi, obviously there was no other reaction at all, it was just clucking and barking its teeth and claws.

Chu Qiu didn't say any more, just beckoned.

Although Su Xing felt that Chu Qiu's gesture of waving was particularly stinky, as if he was playing handsome, but he obediently followed, after all, they were going to the tomb, not going on an autumn outing.

Qiao Li said, "I'm at the back."

Chang Dong immediately objected, saying: "You go ahead. You stay behind? What if you run away?"

Qiao Li smiled and said, "You still don't believe me?"

"Believe in you and you will be evil." Chang Dong said.

"Okay then, be careful." Qiao Li followed after saying that, walking behind Su Xing.

Chu Qiu walked first, and Su Xing was not allowed to use a flashlight when he followed him.Although Su Xing really wanted to use the flashlight, Chu Qiu refused to let him use it, saying that it would affect his eyesight.

Su Xing thought about it, Chu Qiu's eyesight was still very important, at least it was more effective than his own, so he could only feel in the dark, firmly grasping Chu Qiu's hand, and followed behind him.

Chu Qiu seemed to feel that Su Xing was sticking too tightly, and the two of them always rubbed against each other, but felt Su Xing's palms were sweaty, and guessed that he was really a little scared, so he didn't say anything.

In fact, the tomb passage was not without light at all. Chang Dong, who was walking at the end, was using a flashlight, so there was a faint light for illumination.

Su Xing glanced back, afraid that a hairy rice dumpling would sneak up behind Chang Dong, but in fact they had nothing on their backs, so they were still very safe.

Qiao Li looked at Su Xing with a smile, and said, "Don't be nervous, with the skills of the Patriarch of the Chu family, getting a burial is not a difficult task, and there is no great danger."

Chu Qiu looked very calm indeed, as if he was walking around his back garden.

Chu Qiu said: "This tomb is very old, and there are indeed many traps inside, but most of them are no longer usable. However, the remaining [-]% ​​of the traps are probably the most delicate. If the general tomb robbers come down, I'm afraid they will be broken. More than two percent."

Su Xing couldn't help but said behind him: "So you are not an ordinary tomb robber?"

Chu Qiu turned to stare at him, and said, "I'm a craftsman."

The Chuqiu family has been craftsmen since ancient times, but they are also very good at researching tombs. After all, in the past, there were not a few tombs built by the Chuqiu family. Therefore, the secrets of organs in the tombs are not for Chuqiu. Not Stranger Things.

Chang Dong said from behind: "Okay, okay, why are you two fighting again? You like to quarrel so much, you should get your certificate and go home and quarrel slowly, right?"

Su Xing also wanted to say, who would get a certificate from Chu Qiu, who would be pissed off within two days of getting married, with Chu Qiu's poisonous tongue, it is estimated that he will die alone.

But Su Xing didn't have time to complain, so he heard Chu Qiu in front of him say flatly: "That's true, then we have obtained the certificate anyway, and then we can talk about other things, unlike a certain person who didn't get the certificate, so he rolled on the bed first."

Chang Dong: "..."

Su Xing was a little thankful that he had no excuses, Chang Dong's knees were probably shattered.Su Xing glanced back secretly. Although the light was very dim, he could still see that Chang Dong's face was turning blue!It seems to be a little red.

Qiao Li was understanding, and helped Chang Dong change the topic. It seems that the tomb is really old, but the murals are still well preserved, which is rare.

Su Xing turned his head to look at the mural, because it was too dark to see anything clearly, only a bunch of messy lines, it was really more abstract than Picasso, a bit like a bunch of little ghosts dancing, and it was impossible to tell what it was about .

Su Xing asked: "What is painted on the mural?"

Qiao Li said: "A lot of content, here is reproductive worship, then there are pictures of hunting, and the process of sacrifice."

Wake up and look at Qiao Lizhi's sacrificial picture, thinking that maybe he is not imaginative enough and still can't see it.Moreover, the waking attention was no longer on the sacrificial picture, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Qiao Li, and said in surprise, "Qiao Li, can you see clearly without using the flashlight?"

Qiao Li didn't have a flashlight in his hand, his hands were empty, and he didn't have a backpack for him to carry. He seemed to be traveling lightly, as if he had come for an autumn outing.

Qiao Li smiled, pointed to his eyes, and said, "I can see it."

Chu Qiu was at the front. Hearing their conversation, he glanced back, and then continued to walk forward.

Only then did Su Xing recall that Qiao Li said that his father was Chu Qiu from the previous generation, so Qiao Li is actually the blood of the Chu family. Although he and Chu Qiu are not directly related, they are considered relatives anyway.Chu Qiu's eyes are human telescopes in the dark, so Qiao Li's eyes are likely to be like this too.

Su Xing said in surprise: "So you can see things in dark places? But...you haven't worn sunglasses outside, have you?"

Qiao Li said: "My eyes can indeed see things in dark places, but they can't see as clearly and as far as Chu Qiu. I can only say that there is not much difference between the dark and the normal situation. You can see things under the sun, no different from ordinary people.”

Su Xing nodded receptively, and said, "So that's the case, then I think your eyes are more scientific, unlike Chu Qiu, who always wears big sunglasses outside, always playing cool."

Chang Dong couldn't help saying from behind: "Are you really from the Chuqiu clan?"

Qiao Li looked back at him and said, "You really don't believe what I say."

Chang Dong sneered.

Qiao Li said, "I didn't lie."

Su Xing was a little curious, and said, "So...why did your father leave you?"

Su Xing actually made up a bloody story in his head. For example, Qiao Li’s father ran away from the house secretly. People in the Chu family did not approve of him marrying a strange woman and having children, or Qiao Li’s father already had a wife. or something, so had to leave.

After Su Xingnao finished mending, he even despised himself a bit, which was too bloody.

Qiao Li sighed, and said quietly, "Maybe he thinks he's protecting us...but I don't think so."

Su Xing was even more curious when he heard what he said, but she was too embarrassed to ask about his personal affairs carefully.

Qiao Li was more than happy to chat with him, and continued: "My mother has missed him for so many years, and she doesn't hate him for leaving at all. When I was young, I asked my mother why my father left and why he didn't want us anymore. My mother would always tell me that my father had to leave in order to protect us. My mother seemed to know something, but she dared not tell me. I have always been curious, and I think my father has a big secret."

When Qiao Li said this, he paused for a long time, as if he was caught in his own memories, and continued after a long time: "Later... I realized that the big secret is not with my father, but with me."

Su Xing couldn't help but look back at Qiao Li again, as if he didn't see any big secret.

Qiao Li smiled wryly, and said, "A group of people suddenly appeared and took my mother away. I haven't seen my mother since then, but... I got a recording a few years ago."

When his mother was taken away, Qiao Li was still too young. He was very scared and watched his mother being taken away. Later, his mother disappeared completely, just like his father, and never came back.

Qiao Li grew up, he wanted to find his mother, so he began to wander around in various places, inquiring about her whereabouts.

After so many years, Qiao Li finally heard about his mother a few years ago.He spent a lot of money and tried every means to get a recording.

It's just that when Qiao Li heard this audio, Qiao Li almost collapsed. He was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

Qiao Li said: "It was a recording sold to me by a security guard. In the recording, my mother was wailing, in pain, and shouting loudly, as if she was a madman. I heard a mechanical voice recording Then someone asked her where Qiao Li was. My mother yelled that she didn’t know. The person told her that as long as the child’s whereabouts were revealed, she could be let go. My mother didn’t tell me, I don’t know those people What did she do to her, I can only hear her wailing like crazy. The mechanical sound in the recording day after day, those people ask her these questions every day, and torture her every day..."

Qiao Li's voice was very flat, but Su Xing shuddered a few times. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and said, "What are those people doing? What are they going to do?"

Qiao Li said: "I don't know. The security guard who sold me the recording said that the recording was stolen from a private research institute, and those people should be doing experiments. It is said that they were doing experiments with animals, but he overheard Someone's wailing..."

Su Xing shuddered even more. Was Qiao Li's mother arrested for experimentation?This made Su Xing suddenly think of those people in the hospital.

Qiao Li said: "When I found that private research institute, it was already empty. I still haven't seen my mother, and I don't even know if she's still alive..."

After Qiao Li finished speaking, no one spoke for a while, only the voices of a few people walking in the tomb passage could be heard, and the voices were loud but not loud, with a faint echo.

"There is a tomb in front."

Chu Qiu suddenly spoke and broke the silence.

Su Xing took a look, but couldn't see anything in the pitch black, and said, "Where is it? It can't be ten kilometers away, right?"

Chu Qiu lifted his chin, Chang Dong behind him picked up the flashlight a little bit, Su Xing looked over with the light, and it wasn't very far away, it seemed to be a tomb, the kind without a door, it was dark .

And vaguely, there seemed to be a black shadow standing there.

Su Xing immediately swallowed his saliva, and whispered, "Why is there something blocking there... What is it? Is it a person?"
