The Night Watchman of Siheyuan

"Help! There's a ghost!!!"

Fatty Wang stood there, his legs shaking.

What a coincidence, I seemed to have stepped on someone's hand. How could I not be scared?

Hearing Fatty Wang’s howl, Hu Bayi immediately shone the flashlight over there.

"Fat man, are you okay?"

With the light, Hu Bayi could clearly see the sweat on Fatty Wang's forehead and couldn't help but worry about him.

"woooooo"

Fatty Wang was about to respond, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi became even more anxious. He trotted to Fatty Wang and began to observe Fatty Wang's situation carefully.

After studying for a long time, Hu Bayi found that there were no scars on Fatty Wang's body, and he was puzzled.

I had to use a flashlight to survey the surroundings, wanting to see where the ghost that Fatty Wang mentioned was.

After looking for a long time, he didn't find anything unusual. Finally, he was surprised to find that Fatty Wang was stepping on a palm bone.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and the palm bones showed signs of drying out, and were almost crushed by Fatty Wang.

Hu Bayi immediately understood that Fatty Wang was frightened by the palm bones.

However, Hu Bayi did not tell Fatty Wang his idea for the time being. He sat down on the ground. After being busy for a long time and being frightened, Hu Bayi felt a little tired.

As for Ye Tian, ​​he had already discovered the truth of the matter, but he did not speak out.

It was agreed that this was a test for Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty, so Ye Tian naturally would not get involved. At most he would save the two's lives at the critical moment.

Of course, it’s not without cost. If Ye Tian really takes action, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang will never be able to appear in public again.

When Fatty Wang saw Hu Bayi's dejected look, his heart sank.

Why didn’t Lao Hu save me?

Am I really going to die in this damn place?

Fatty Wang does have a lot of inner drama, but he is just scaring himself.

There was nothing wrong in the first place. It's just that Fatty Wang is so timid.

After a long time, Ye Tian saw that Hu Bayi had no intention of explaining to Fatty Wang, so he slowly spoke:

"Little Fatty, that's enough. Is it just a palm bone?"

"Besides, we still have the tomb-grabbing talisman I gave you. Even though it hasn't been activated yet, ordinary ghosts can't hurt you."

"That's it, and you still brag that you're a hero. You're nothing."

After hearing Ye Tian's words, Fatty Wang sat down on the ground with a bang. He used a flashlight to look for the location of his feet and found a palm bone.

After picking it up and throwing it far away, Fatty Wang breathed a sigh of relief. It was really scary.

Who is the good person who goes to the grave in the middle of the night? Isn't this just looking for trouble?

After thinking about Ye Tian’s methods, Fatty Wang still didn’t say anything.

After taking a few deep breaths, Fatty Wang pointed his finger at Hu Bayi.

"Old Hu, you are really not a good brother. Couldn't you have made it clear earlier?"

"You've made me so worried for so long. I'm almost scared to death."

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at Fatty Wang and explained unhappily, "How dare you say that? You almost scared me to death just now."

"I worked so hard for so long, but ended up finding nothing. How can I not feel resentful?"

After being rebuked by Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang suddenly stopped talking.

Fatty Wang was making a fuss out of nothing, so it was only right that he suffered a little. Nothing happened anyway.

After the two of them rested for a while, Ye Tian finally spoke.

"Okay, let's keep going. We haven't even seen the entrance to the tomb yet."

After hearing Ye Tian's order, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang slowly stood up and continued to move forward.

Nothing unexpected happened this time, and the three of them made their way to the depths of the fortress.

Seeing the rusty barbed wire and the remaining tools, Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the Japanese attached great importance to this place at the beginning."

Without waiting for Fatty Wang to respond, Hu Bayi took out the compass and began to look for the entrance to the tomb.

After a long time, just as Hu Bayi put away the compass, Fatty Wang came over.

"How's it going, Lao Hu, did you find the entrance?"

"Why are you so excited? Aren't you usually the most timid?"

"hey-hey"

"Old Hu, I just said that we can each choose one item. The general's tomb, one item can be exchanged for a lot of money."

"What do you want so much money for?"

"What?" Fatty Wang suddenly widened his eyes and said unhappily, "We have to eat in the city too."

"Besides, I see that the villagers don't even have an electric wire. If I can get some extra money, I can at least provide them with some wires."

"We were taken care of by our fellow villagers, so we should be grateful, right?"

There was a hint of surprise in Hu Bayi's eyes, as if he had met Fatty Wang for the first time.

This childhood friend loves money the most. It is commendable that he can use money to do good deeds.

Looking at the determination in Fatty Wang's eyes, it didn't seem like he was lying. It seemed that his brother had really changed.

Hu Bayi thought of his comrades again. Their families were all poor. He sent all his retirement benefits to them, but it was far from enough.

It's pretty good to be able to earn some money, send it back to the families of my comrades, and do something for my fellow villagers.

When Fatty Wang saw that Hu Bayi didn't say anything, he thought that Hu Bayi was having hysteria and waved his hand in front of Hu Bayi.

"Lao Hu, Lao Hu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Hu Bayi mercilessly knocked away the pig's trotter in front of him and added unhappily:

"The entrance to the tomb is just under the barbed wire. Let's get started."

As he spoke, Hu Bayi took off his backpack and started taking out tools from it.

Fatty Wang was a little at a loss. He had no experience and had no idea what to do. He just stood there stupidly.

Hu Bayi rummaged around for a long time and took out something that looked like a birdcage.

Then he took out a candle and placed it in the middle of the birdcage, then tied a rope around the cage, and it was done.

When Hu Bayi finished cleaning up, he found that Fatty Wang hadn't moved at all.

Without waiting for Fatty Wang to speak, Hu Bayi slapped his forehead and secretly thought it was a bad idea. He forgot that Fatty Wang had never been exposed to all this.

Hu Bayi himself is a half-baked person. If it weren't for the books passed down in his family, he would know nothing.

There was no reason to blame Fatty Wang, so Hu Bayi picked up a shovel and said to Fatty Wang:

“Come dig with me.”

"okay."

Fatty Wang then realized what to do. He dug next to the barbed wire for a long time and slowly cleared out a stone slab.

"Stop."

Seeing this, Hu Bayi stopped the action, took out a crowbar and started prying the stone slab.

After prying for a long time, the stone slab didn't move at all.

"Why are you standing there? Come and help me."
