Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Wu Xie held his breath and concentrated until he heard Lao Yang beside him fall asleep. After making sure that there was no unusual movement, he dared to open his tightly closed eyes slightly.

Lao Yang was sleeping with his back to him, and judging from his posture, it looked like he was sleeping with the thing he dug out in his arms.

He originally planned to get up and take a look at what it was, but as soon as he moved, Lao Yang started to move. He was not sure whether he was really asleep or just pretending.

Wu Xie didn't dare to act rashly now and planned to wait until daybreak. He thought of Lao Yang's expression when he was digging something just now, and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

He carefully lay down again, closed his eyes and dozed off until a ray of light from the ceiling of the wooden shed shone into his eyes, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He pretended to have just woken up and stretched, then sat up yawning and looked at Lao Yang who was sleeping on his side.

He stretched out his hand and pushed, "Old Itchy, wake up, it's dawn, we should go back."

When Lao Yang, who was pretending to be asleep, heard that he was really going back, he immediately opened his eyes and pretended to accidentally drop the bronze branch in his arms.

"What is this?" Lao Yang didn't understand and went to pick up the branch which was covered with yellow mud and its original appearance could not be seen clearly.

He picked it up and wiped it a few times, revealing the bronze color inside.

"Is this... the bronze branch I buried earlier? How did it end up in my arms?"

He looked at Wu Xie, who was also confused, in surprise, "Wu Xie, how did this thing get here? Did you dig it out?"

Wu Xie stared at the agitated Lao Yang, his heart full of doubts.

Strange, looking at him like this, does he not remember what happened last night? Was he sleepwalking last night? He must be pretending!

He observed carefully for a while. Perhaps it was because Lao Yang disguised himself too well, and he did not find any trace of falsehood on Lao Yang's face.

"I didn't dig this out. How could I know where the things you buried were? It could only be that you dug it out yourself. Don't you remember?"

Lao Yang thought about it carefully and shook his head. "I don't remember. I was with you the whole night. I didn't go out."

The atmosphere between the two men was at a stalemate. Lao Yang pretended very well, so much so that Wu Xie couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

"If you don't remember, then there's no way I can remember. I slept so soundly last night that I didn't even notice whether you went out or not.

Forget it if you don't remember. Hurry up and pack up. We are going to go back. We can't go any deeper. It would be so depressing if we are stuck in this deep forest again."

As Wu Xie spoke, he began to pack his things into his backpack. Lao Yang saw that he was serious and hurriedly stopped him to persuade him.

"Wu Xie, look at this bronze branch. It proves that what I said was true. Since we have found the branch, it means that the entrance is not far from us.

Don’t you really want to take a look? Or, why don’t we keep walking forward and look for it again?”

Lao Yang saw that Wu Xie's expression began to relax, so he continued to persuade him relentlessly.

"Wu Xie, we've come this far and are almost there. Do you really want to give up?"

Wu Xie turned his head and glanced at Lao Yang. It seemed that he really wanted to go, and his expression was a little crazy.

"Okay then, let's keep going forward. If we can't find the entrance before dark today, we must go back home and not go any further."

"Okay! I'll definitely find it today."

The two packed up their things and continued on their journey. This time, Lao Yang didn't dare to deliberately lead them astray, for fear that Wu Xie would really not go any further.

When the sun rose to its highest point, Lao Yang finally found the entrance to the cave by following the route he remembered.

He pulled aside the weeds excitedly, "This is it, Wu Xie, we just need to go down from here."

Wu Xie looked at the pitch-black cave entrance with doubt, then took out a flashlight and shone it downwards.

"Are you sure it's here? Why do I feel it's not very reliable?"

"You know he's unreliable, but you still dare to follow him?"

Wu Xie turned his head in surprise and saw Zhang Hanyan, dressed in red, sitting on a big tree at the back. She was the most eye-catching among the lush green mountains and rivers.

"Tian Zhen, you're walking too slowly, aren't you? The three of us have been waiting for you here for a long time, do you know that? My patience is almost exhausted."

Fatty and Zhang Qiling came out from behind the tree trunks and looked at him.

From the moment he saw the three of them, Wu Xie felt inexplicably confident.

Even if you ask him to jump down from this hole right now, he would do it without making a sound.

He knew that as long as they were there, he would never die here.

"Didn't you say you couldn't come? Why are you all here?" Wu Xie asked with a smile, suppressing the bitterness and slight grievance in his heart.

Zhang Hanyan jumped down from the branch lightly, and walked towards him together with Zhang Qiling and the fat man.

"We thought about it later and we still don't feel comfortable with you coming to a place like this alone. If anything happens, I will break my promise to someone."

[Bullshit, host, you are really lying now, you are clearly here just for those 1,000 points. ]

Haha...if we see the truth but don't say it out loud, we can still get along well.

[Understood, I'll shut up.]

"Whose promise did you break? It wasn't the one with my grandfather, was it?" Wu Xie asked curiously.

Zhang Hanyan smiled slightly, "Do you think I will tell you? Let's go quickly, the sooner you go, the sooner you will be back."

The smile on her face faded, and she looked at Lao Yang behind Wu Xie with a meaningful look that made Lao Yang shrink unconsciously.

"Wu Xie, is this the friend you mentioned? Would you like to introduce him to me?"

"You can just call him Lao Yang. Fatty, brother, how do we get down? Do you have a rope?"

Wu Xie searched his backpack for a long time but couldn't find the rope. He could only look at the two of them for help.

Fatty and Zhang Qiling shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn't bring it.

"I brought it." Zhang Hanyan put down her backpack, took out the rope from the backpack and handed it to Wu Xie, "Try it and see if it's long enough."

"Okay." Wu Xie tied one end of the rope to a thick tree trunk at the entrance of the cave and threw the other rope down the cave.

"Fatty, come and help me take a look. I can't see clearly."

"You are so naive. Is your myopia so serious now? Get out of here, get out of here. Let me do it."

The fat man gently pushed Wu Xie aside and looked down.

"Hanyan, Fatty, I think the length of the rope is not much different. There is a pool of water below, which looks quite big, but I don't know how deep it is. I don't think there will be any big problem."

"Okay, then let's go down one by one. I'll go down first, and I'll stay behind. If there's any emergency, you can retreat in time."

As soon as Zhang Hanyan took a step, Zhang Qiling grabbed her.

"I'll be the first and you'll be the last." He said, then he grabbed the rope and jumped down the cave, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
