Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"Sister Nan knows?"

My heart trembled and I held the sachet tightly.

She is so smart, how could she not see what I was going to do?

It's worth being happy that she's worried about me.

But I can't be happy at all.

If I really can't come back...

Grab the sachet and place it under your nose.

Took a deep sniff.

Smell her in the herbal aroma.

"Sister Nan asked me a lot of questions. You know I'm not very good at speaking, so I might have said something wrong, and she guessed it."

"She's worried about you and told me not to force it. Safety comes first."

"I was able to muster up the courage to come back because Sister Nan encouraged me, saying that a real man should live his life without regrets or remorse."

"I don't want to feel sorry, and I don't want to regret it!"

"If I don't go to the grave with you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Brother, you don't want me to regret it, right?"

I hugged Cui Hao tightly.

Everything is unspoken.

Grandpa Tuo stopped in front of the tunnel.

He stared at the robber's hole as if he were staring into the abyss.

The father and son of the Meng family did not dare to move too far forward and stopped two meters away from the tunnel.

Meng Jianshe kept swallowing, and his hand holding the shotgun was shaking slightly.

Meng Jingye took out a cigarette and lit it.

After taking two deep puffs, the red cigarette butt was about to burn my fingers.

Cui Hao was half a step behind me.

He grabbed the corner of my clothes tightly with both hands and kept muttering "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid".

You can see that he is still afraid.

"Ha! You dead rat, you're almost scared to pee your pants before you even get out of the tomb." Meng Jianshe said sarcastically.

In order to hide his extreme fear, he deliberately used Cui Hao as a stepping stone.

"Who, who was frightened to death?"

"I'm not afraid at all, I'm fine!"

"As long as I'm with Brother Shitou, I'm not afraid even if the King of Hell comes!"

Cui Hao held his head high and spoke stubbornly.

Meng Jianshe pointed at his trembling legs and said, "Look, your legs are cramping, and you're still being stubborn."

"You're shaking too, you're afraid too."

"You two should stop laughing at each other."

Grandpa Tuo interrupted their fight.

Pointing at the robber's hole, he said, "Let's get down to business. Who's going down first?"

The father and son of the Meng family took several steps back at the same time and looked at me.

The risk is greatest if you go down first.

They don't want to take the risk.

Uncle Tuo is old, and as the most experienced leader, he is not suitable to lead the charge.

Cui Hao is almost a weakling and can no longer be relied upon.

So I am the most suitable person to be the pioneer.

"Brother, don't be impulsive."

"Let Meng Jianshe go first!"

"Didn't he just say he wasn't afraid at all? Let him go first!"

Meng Jianshe immediately became anxious.

"What are you talking about, you idiot!"

"The stone should be put down first."

"Just now we all took the initiative to retreat, but Shitou stood still without moving, which means he stepped forward voluntarily."

I was amused by his shamelessness.

What a shameless person.

Camel Grandpa looked at me and thought that I was the most suitable person to go down first.

"Stone kid, you are the first one."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Grandpa Tuo smiled and nodded: "You guys tie the rope and let it go."

Cui Hao and the Meng family father and son got busy.

One end of the rope was tied to a big tree.

Then he threw the whole roll of thick rope into the tunnel.

Because the tunnel was very deep, even with footsteps, people still needed to use ropes to get in and out.

Cui Hao looked at me with concern.

"Brother, be careful. I'll be the second one to go down after you."

I smiled and opened the bag and took out the tools for him.

"Don't be nervous, put on everything."

With the flashlight tucked around our waists, spare batteries in our pockets, and dust masks and head-mounted mining lamps on, we immediately looked different.

The Meng family father and son were stunned watching from the side.

"What the hell are you wearing?"

"What about ours? You can't eat it all by yourself!"

Meng Jianshe's eyes turned red with envy.

I rushed to the bag and wanted to put on some equipment.

But the bag was empty.

I asked Boss Dong to get two sets for me, there were no extra ones.

He angrily kicked the bag away and stared fiercely at Cui Hao: "Take it off! Take yours off and give it to me!"

"Why?" Cui Hao asked back with his neck stiff.

"You'll be courting death if you go down there. It'll be a waste to wear it on you!" Meng Jianshe said shamelessly.

"Aren't you going to die if you go down there?"

"You fucking bastard!"

Meng Jianshe grabbed Cui Hao's collar ferociously.

He raised his hand to pull the miner's lamp off his head.

"Fuck you!" Cui Hao got angry and raised his hand to slap Meng Jianshe in the face.

Snapped!

The sound of the slap on the face was very loud.

Meng Jianshe was stunned.

He slowly raised his hands to cover his burning cheeks, his eyes filled with disbelief.

I wasn't expecting that either.

In the past, when Meng Jianshe was captured and Cui Hao was asked to fight back, he didn't dare to do anything.

Now he actually has the courage to do it.

Meng Jianshe was so angry that he raised his double-barreled shotgun and pointed it at Cui Hao's head.

"Fuck the dog!"

"How dare you attack me!"

"Believe it or not, I'll shoot you dead!"

As he spoke, his finger was already on the trigger.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, I stepped forward and grabbed the barrel of the gun and moved it away.

"Don't be ridiculous."

Meng Jianshe glared at me fiercely, and new and old grudges surged into his heart.

"I'm messing with your mother!"

"You both need to take off your things!"

Meng Jingye, who was standing not far away, did not come forward to stop him.

Instead, he lowered his head to smoke and pretended not to see anything.

This father and son are notorious for harming others for their own benefit.

They wanted to force us to hand over our equipment so that they, father and son, could take advantage of us.

Swish!

The black muzzle of the gun was pressed against my heart.

Meng Jianshe showed a provocative smile: "Shitouwa, aren't you tough?"

"Show me how tough you are and see if you are truly not afraid of death."

"Cough cough."

Grandpa Tuo couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"If you are a group of scattered sand, you will die in the tomb!"

"Do you all want to die in there?!"

Meng Jingye then raised his head and said with a smile like Maitreya: "What are you doing, Jianshe?"

“We must unite!”

"Hurry up and apologize to Stone and Mouse."

Meng Jianshe reluctantly said sorry softly.

Camel Master then tried to smooth things over, saying, "That's right. Everyone should be united when going to the tomb."

"Shi Tou, you go first, Haozi goes second, and Jianshe goes third." Meng Jingye took the opportunity to arrange the order of going to the tomb.

When Meng Jianshe heard that he was the third one, his face turned pale.

He would rather watch the rope from above than take the risk of going down into the tomb.

"dad……"

Meng Jingye glared and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Uncle Tuo, you are the fourth one, I will follow at the end to take care of you."

Camel Master smiled coldly: "Okay."

"Then it's settled. Prepare to go down to the tomb in order."

Meng Jingye showed a satisfied smile, as if everything was under control.

After saying this, he pulled his son aside and muttered.

I vaguely heard them continue talking about something like "there is a chance", but it was so sporadic that I couldn't hear the specific content clearly.

Cui Hao was spinning around nervously, and when I was about to comfort him, Camel Grandpa came over.

"Stone, I've also told you the story in the tomb."

"I won't go into detail about the dangers involved. I've made a lot of preparations over the past forty years, so I'm more or less confident. Just focus on exploring the path ahead."

After saying this, Grandpa Tuo pulled out a butcher knife from his waist and handed it to me.

"This butcher knife has a strong evil spirit. Use it for self-defense."
