Chapter 109 Reappearance of the Black Snake
After seeing that I couldn't find any useful information from Bai or there, I didn't stay any longer.
I turned around and walked towards my aunt who was looking at the map. Since she didn't know how to tell me when I asked her, I slowly came up with the words.
As soon as I walked up to my aunt, I saw her fingers sliding back and forth on the yellow map, as if she was looking for some route.
I stood next to her and asked knowingly:
"Auntie, what are you looking for?"
She ignored me and stared at the map intently. She soon frowned and then her fingers stopped.
Saying in his mouth:
"Changed, everything changed?"
These five short words made me confused at the time. What had changed? What had changed? It was so wrong that I couldn’t even guess it.
But just when I was about to ask my aunt, she took a step forward and asked me:
"Xiao Lin, do you still have a map?"
I nodded and indicated that I had a map, but I was a little confused, why do I need a map? Don’t I have one in my hand?
"Hurry up and get the map. I was in a hurry when I came here. This map I have is still from more than ten years ago. There have been too many changes here. This one can't be used."
As she spoke, my aunt took out a red pen and drew red crosses on certain locations on the map to mark that the terrain had changed.
I answered "Okay" and then went to get the map from Fatty. Fatty is our force here and all our equipment and supplies are kept with him.
On the one hand, it is safe to keep him there. Even if he encounters some wild beast or something, with his physique, it is impossible for people to be there and things to be there but not for them to be there...
On the other hand, none of us are willing to manage so much equipment. If something goes wrong, it may affect the progress at least, or endanger lives at worst. No one is afraid of taking this responsibility.
After much thought, the fat man is suitable, he can endure hardships and can be a bodyguard. Even if I lose something, as long as I don't speak, no one will dare to touch him easily.
As for Zhang Tianyi, from the moment he got off the bus, he climbed to a relatively small mountain peak and kept looking into the mountain without saying a word, unable to guess what he was thinking.
The fat man had already helped others set up tents, and now he was setting up his own tent. He was holding the hammer in his right hand and hammering down the nails that fixed the tent.
"Fat man! Where is the map you brought? Take it out quickly." I shouted to the fat man's "slightly" bloated back.
But just this sound made the fat man throw away the hammer in fright, turned around and climbed up from the ground.
It was like seeing the God of Plague, and he ran towards me, shouting and stumbling.
At first, I thought, when did this fat man become so courageous, so he shouted and was so scared that I still wanted to smile.
But I soon noticed something was wrong. The fat man's face was full of panic, and it was obvious that he was reacting to something.
I didn't think much about it at the time. It was definitely not an ordinary thing to scare a fat man like this. Then I took out the dagger and held it in front of my chest.
The fat man also ran over at this time. I quickly pulled him behind me and asked him what he saw? Why was he so panicked?
As he asked, his eyes were fixed on the place where the fat man was just now, and he saw nothing on the ground except a hammer and a few loose nails.
Just when I was wondering, the fat man pointed at the hammer on the ground and said tremblingly:
"Snake...snake, black snake!"
Almost shouting out, my aunt, Bai You, Yayin and the others were all attracted by these two words shouted by the fat man.
And I was even more shocked, and even wondered if I heard it wrong, so I questioned:
"Black snake? What black snake? The one I met in the water tomb before?"
The fat man didn't speak, but his head was nodding crazily, indicating that he was extremely, extremely sure.
I wasn't surprised when I saw the fat man's reaction, I just didn't understand it very much.
Although I don't know much about this black snake and don't know its name, one thing I'm very sure about is that this kind of thing is a shady object and will only appear in places with tombs.
A tomb is different from a grave. A grave is just a small earthen bag. If there are many, it is at best a grave circle. When you dig it open, you can see the coffin. Generally, there will be no living things.
But the tomb is different. This thing is equivalent to moving the houses on the ground underground. Some of them are even more gorgeously decorated than the houses on the ground.
Because the space is large and there are many burial objects, and on the other hand, I don’t want to be disturbed after my death, so I want to prevent thieves and theft.
Some highly poisonous and weird-looking creatures will be introduced, such as the Yin soldiers and strange fish encountered before, which are all Yin creatures guarding the tomb.
If you encounter a black snake here, it means that there must be a tomb under this mountain, and the tomb is not necessarily small. If the tomb is small, the black snake will not be placed, and it will not be enough to waste money.
At this time, my aunt came over following the fat man's shouts and asked the same question I just asked.
The fat man recounted what he had just experienced, scene by scene, word for word, in great detail.
There was too much to say, so I just summarized it a little. The general meaning is that when the fat man was digging a hole in the ground to insert nails, a snake suddenly came out of the hole.
The snake stretched out half of its body, and the fat man didn't pay much attention at the time. He hit the black snake on the head with a hammer. After realizing that the touch felt wrong, he noticed that the black snake had been hit, and then ran towards me.
The fat man was so reckless. He didn't even look at it. He just hit him with a hammer. The black snake didn't even react before he went back to the west.
However, when the fat man was talking just now, I noticed that when my aunt heard about the black snake, her face suddenly became very nervous.
This expression only stayed for two seconds and then immediately returned to the normal expression, but it was still very unnatural.
Looking at this, he must know something. According to the mountain mentioned before, there must be some connection between the two.
Thinking about this, Yayin and the others also gathered over and asked the question again. The fat man, like a repeater, translated what he had just said and said it again.
After they had all figured it out, among them, a young man named Lu Han stood up.
He was dressed in military green and looked to be between thirty and forty years old. His figure was very perfect.
With his bronze skin, short and sleek hair, and his muscular body, he can be called the "bodybuilder" in the world of tomb robbers!
The pectoralis major muscles on the chest are also very attractive, with distinct lumps, forming a sharp contrast with the white ones.
Later I found out that Lu Han was a soldier before joining my aunt and participated in several famous battles. My aunt told me the specific battles, but I didn't remember them.
