Tomb Raiders

Chapter 25

The blasted exit was not too high from the ground, Chu Yuyang climbed up very briskly even with a Hanzhang on his back, Shen Liaobai was in the middle, and asked the rear of the hall.

When Shen Liaobai entered the tunnel, he saw that the ground was full of gravel. The place that was blocked by big rocks had now opened a big gap, and some stones would rustle down from time to time. It was pitch black inside, but it was hard to see. what.

"Strange, if this is the exit, why are you blocking it with stones?" Shen Liaobai touched the edge of the boulder and asked.

Wen Hao leaned over the edge and turned over neatly, took a closer look and said, "No matter how it was left behind, it's a good deal for us now."

Shen Liaobai thought of the treasure cave on the stone wall, and said: "By the way, there is a jade gate at the place where I was taken by the monster, which is full of gold, silver and jewels. It should be Zhang Jiao's accumulation during his lifetime. I went out this time." , if nothing is brought out, how can you explain to King Ding?"

Chu Yuyang took out a book from his pocket, and the words "Taiping Jing" on the cover were very conspicuous, "I got it back from Song Qiancheng, and I will use this to pay when I go out."

When Song Qiancheng was mentioned, Shen Liaobai couldn't help but fell silent. Although he didn't have a good impression of Song Qiancheng and was always on guard along the way, but just now seeing him die alone in this dark and cold tomb, he still felt a little sympathetic in his heart.

Chu Yuyang adjusted the cloth belt that tied Hanzhang and himself, and when he walked past Shen Liaobai, he patted Shen Liaobai's cheek lightly, and said, "Don't stay still, it's time to go."

Shen Liaobai came back to his senses, subconsciously rubbed the side of his face with his fingertips, and then followed Chu Yuyang into the cave.

The passage behind the boulder has obvious traces of chiseling, and it is narrow and narrow. There are many gravels on the ground. If you look carefully, there is a big hole on the top of the head. It seems that the huge boulder blocking the entrance of the hole was gouged out from above.

Chu Yuyang had to walk forward stooping, lest the corners of the stone wall above hit Hanzhang on his back, Shen Liaobai also stooped, I don't know if it was because the tunnel was too small, he felt a little dizzy, Fortunately, there are stone walls on both sides, and where there is strength, it is not too difficult for him to walk while supporting the wall with both hands.

After walking for a while, Shen Liaobai suddenly felt that the touch of the stone wall under his hand was a bit subtle, and he couldn't help touching it with his fingertips. His five senses were keen, and he immediately felt that the unevenness on the stone wall was completely different from before, as if someone carved it. It's written on it.

Shen Liaobai paused, Wenhao saw him stop, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Liaobai touched it with the other hand, and said, "There seems to be a word here."

Hearing this, Chu Yuyang also stopped. It was difficult to turn around in the passage, so he didn't look back, but asked, "What did you write?"

"I woke up in the house, everything was ambiguous, and after I traced it here, I realized that the situation was serious, so I left this handwriting to prove that I have been here." Shen Liaobai stroked the small words on the wall carefully, and slowly read it out while identifying it. , stopped at the end, there was not a word, but a small bird-shaped picture, Shen Liaobai was stunned, his eyes became moist, "This is left by Yingqing."

Chu Yuyang held the Hanzhang on his back and said: "It seems that there is nothing serious about him. After leaving the tomb, he entered through this exit and found that the end was blocked by a round stone, so he returned the same way and left these few words."

Wen Hao asked strangely, "But judging from the meaning of these words, why does it seem that he doesn't remember what happened in the tomb?"

Shen Liaobai was also a little confused. He silently memorized Yingqing's message, then remembered the three corpses outside the treasure cave, and said, "Two of the last group of five people should have gotten out alive. I'm in the treasure cave. The bodies of three people were seen."

Chu Yuyang immediately asked: "What does it look like?"

Shen Liaobai gave a general description, only to hear Chu Yuyang exhale softly, and said: "There is no my father."

Shen Liaobai couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and they quickened their pace and climbed up the narrow and difficult tunnel for a while, when Chu Yuyang, who was at the front, suddenly stopped.

Shen Liaobai was blocked behind and couldn't see the situation ahead, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's over." Chu Yuyang replied in front, his voice was a bit dull, accompanied by a little knocking sound.

"Is it blocked?" Wen Hao raised his voice and asked.

"It's just a thin layer of mud and rocks." Chu Yuyang replied, just as the words fell, Shen Liaobai felt light shining in from in front of Chu Yuyang.

Chu Yuyang chiseled twice with a knife again, large chunks of soil fell down, and soon there was a hole big enough for adults to pass through, Chu Yuyang carefully smoothed the edges and corners above the hole, bringing Hanzhang climbed out.

Shen Liaobai followed behind, his eyes were squinted by the sunlight as soon as he came out, he only stayed in the tomb for two days, now that he returned to the ground, he felt as if he had passed away, finally it was over, he let out a breath , the whole body relaxed, and the bright sunlight that I saw just stayed in the field of vision for a moment, and then turned into darkness.

Shen Liaobai didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and when he woke up, he was already in Shen's own room.

The maidservant next to Mrs. Shen was wiping her sweat. Seeing that he was awake, she immediately showed a smile, threw away her handkerchief and ran out of the house, shouting anxiously: "Da Lang is awake, go and inform the madam and the old man!"

Turning around, he saw Shen Liaobai struggling to sit up, turned back quickly, carefully helped him up, stuffed a hidden pouch behind his back, washed the veil again, and wiped his forehead again. With a slight cold sweat, he said softly, "How does Dalang feel now? Do you want to drink some water first? The longan pig's trotter soup has been stewing in the kitchen, do you want to use some first?"

Shen Liaobai shook his head, cleared his throat and said, "Yuanning, how did I come back?"

Yuan Ning poured a cup of still warm tea for Shen Liaobai at the table beside him, came over to drink a few sips for Shen Liaobai, and then replied: "Da Lang was sent by Mr. Chu from the Ministry of Industry's Minister's family the day before yesterday. Been asleep all day."

Shen Liaobai rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Then, did that Chu Jun say anything?"

Yuan Ning thought for a while and said: "He said he would visit again in two days, please take good care of Da Lang."

Shen Liaobai couldn't help asking: "Is that all?"

Yuan Ning looked at him carefully, and said: "Just one sentence." Seeing that Shen Liaobai fell silent, Yuan Ning asked again: "Da Lang, the soup is still cooking in the kitchen, you haven't eaten or eaten all day. , do you want to have a bowl first?"

Shen Liaobai nodded casually, and Yuan Ning went out first. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mrs. Shen leading two maidservants with anxious faces, coming in a hurry. Seeing Yuan Ning, he grabbed her and said: " How is Dalang?"

Before Yuan Ning could answer, Mrs. Shen looked inside and saw Shen Liaobai sitting on the bed, she showed a relaxed expression, walked in hastily, sat by the bed, held Shen Liaobai's cold hand Hand said: "I finally woke up, if I don't wake up, I will kill my mother in a hurry, how is it, is there any discomfort?"

Shen Liaobai didn't feel any pain other than feeling weak and weak all over his body. He knew that the reason why he was unconscious was due to the excessive consumption of essence and blood in the tomb. Come down, naturally I can't hold it anymore.

Thinking of this, he touched the side of his neck hesitantly, and asked softly, "Did someone wipe me off?"

Shen's mother blamed: "Of course it was wiped. Didn't you go out to study? How did you make it look like this? Didn't you study too hard? You too, Yingqing too, they don't think I'm a mother Take it to heart, every single one of them scared my mother to death."

"Yingqing?" Shen Liaobai was startled, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with Yingqing?"

Shen's mother said: "Mr. Chu who sent you back said that he had seen Yingqing in the capital, that is, half a month ago, and there was nothing serious about it. He also entrusted him with a message, telling us not to worry, tsk, this child It's true, why didn't you give me a letter, which made the whole family worry about him."

Shen Liaobai immediately understood that this was a story made up by Chu Yuyang to make Shen's mother feel at ease, but Yingqing was indeed still alive, although she didn't know where it was, but she couldn't make Shen's mother worry, so he smiled and said: " I also met Mr. Chu during my study tour, and I just found out about it, and I was about to come back to tell my mother, but for some reason, I suddenly fell ill, and Mr. Chu was so tired that I sent me back."

Shen's mother touched his cheek, feeling extremely distressed, "Why have you lost so much weight after two days?"

Shen Liaobai was startled, and suddenly asked: "By the way, mother, who wiped my body?"

Shen's mother didn't understand what it meant, and replied: "Yuan Bao, this kid is quite clever, I know you usually don't like to have your maid serve you close to him, so you let him go, what's the matter?"

Shen Liaobai shook his head, "It's okay."

The mother and son got closer, Mother Shen fed Shen Liaobai some soup, watched him fall asleep again, and then went out lightly.

When the door was locked, Shen Liaobai's originally quiet eyelashes trembled slightly, and they opened immediately.

He still had no strength in his body, but he was much better than when he just woke up. Struggling to get up from the bed, Shen Liaobai slowly walked behind the screen, where a bronze mirror was erected, he stood still while holding the screen, took a breath, and put Slowly took off the shirt, and the slender upper body exposed in the mirror was without any scars. He touched his shoulder, and the tattoo that should have extended to the side of his neck was nowhere to be seen. Tang red flowers and slender leaves were all gone As if it never existed.

Shen Liaobai stroked the skin there carefully, and he could feel that it wasn't that the tattoo no longer existed, but that there was a thin film attached to the skin, covering the wanton tattoo.

It was probably done by Chu Yuyang, so as not to scare the people in Shen's house, but this tattoo is really strange, Shen Liaobai put on his clothes again, thinking about waiting, and go to ask Mr. Shen carefully.
