Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

Chapter 152: Strange Case Dead Object 1

The night is as dark as ink, covering the earth deeply.

The cold moonlight sprinkled in the silent yard, casting mottled shadows. The wind blew quietly, and the grass beside the two people swayed, making rustling sounds.

Occasionally, the sound of insects chirping could be heard from the grass around the yard. The sounds were a bit sharp, as if they were reminding people of something, but no one listened carefully to what they were saying.

"I'm coming!"

Qi Tiezui covered his mouth and reminded quietly.

Jinnian was originally playing around with Qi Tiezui, but after hearing Qi Tiezui's quiet reminder, he stopped instantly.

He was startled for a moment, then reacted. His body immediately tensed up, and his thin figure bent and squatted down like a fully drawn bowstring. His hands nervously grabbed the tail of Qi Tiezui's robe with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to pull his little tail off.

At the same time, he held the dim lantern tightly in his other hand, his knuckles turning slightly white due to the force.

The two men hid quietly behind a low wall, not daring to make a sound. By changing their faces and dressing differently, they might be labeled as thieves.

This yard is indeed very big. Qi Tiezui smacked his lips. He had never been here before. There could be a yard hidden in such a small alley. Others, who lived near the street, were lucky enough to live in a small bungalow. How could there be such a big yard?

Jinnian shook off the spider web that accidentally touched his sleeve, frowned, and touched it. He felt that his body was also stained with some decayed smell, mixed with a strange smell. Jinnian smelled his sleeve, and fanned the air in the small courtyard with his hand. He always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it before.

The place where Jinnian and Qi Tiezui were squatting was quite remote and some distance away from the door. From here, they couldn't see the man at the door clearly. They could only barely see a few blurry shadows swaying, like candle flames swaying in the wind, flickering and quite creepy.

Jinnian's small lantern was held in his arms. In order not to be discovered, he covered it with his hands for fear of exposing the two of them. The middle-aged man did not turn on the lamp either. The two of them could only see the stars inside thanks to the bright moonlight.

The black thing that Qi Tiezui saw before was now completely blocked due to the perspective and could not be seen at all. If they wanted to see it, the two of them had to get closer.

Jinnian leaned his head out slightly, trying hard to see the thing clearly, but could only look away in vain.

His eyes were fixed on the blocked direction, and he was secretly speculating in his heart, recalling the moment he had just seen. Comparing his memories, he felt that the thing, the black thing, seemed to be a little more bulging in the middle than before, and it looked like something was stuffed inside.

Jinnian's brows were slightly furrowed, and the doubts in his heart became stronger. Qi Tiezui was also full of doubts, and there was still lingering sadness on his face. He smelled a bad smell. He had encountered more than Jinnian, so he naturally knew what that smell was. He tilted his head slightly, signaled Jinnian with his eyes to keep quiet, and carefully adjusted his posture, trying to find a better angle of view.

On the other side, the middle-aged man was moving stealthily in the huge yard like a frightened bird.

He was of medium build, slightly hunched, wearing a gray robe, which had been quite clean just now, but was now stained with unknown stains. His hair was no longer neatly tied behind his head, but now was scattered messily on his shoulders. His face was full of fatigue, and he looked as if he had just fought a battle.

The hunched figure of the middle-aged man was looming in the dim light, just like a ghost, floating around. Every step he took was like walking on thin ice, so cautious that people even wondered if he was sick.

From time to time, he looked back at the dark room behind him, his eyes full of fear and anxiety, as if there was some terrible monster hidden in the room, which would be alarmed by the slightest movement and then pounce out to devour him.

The stone road under his feet made a slight sound as he stepped on it, which was particularly clear in the night that was as quiet as a cemetery. At least it was convenient for Jinnian and Qi Tiezui, as it could help them solve the problem of where the other party was.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the middle-aged man's forehead, flashing strangely in the moonlight, as if they were drops of water oozing out of hell. He was secretly carrying the black thing, which looked heavier than before, and the veins in his hands were bulging as he held it.

He held the bag tightly with both hands, his fingers turning slightly white due to the force, his movements were indescribably strange, every movement was nervous, but when you look closely, he even touched the things inside without wiping them on the hem of his clothes and wiping his hands, looking disgusted.

But he was also very careful, as if afraid of damaging the things inside, and he opened the black bag with disgust and excitement.

In an instant, a foul odor quickly spread throughout the yard. The smell was like a mixture of a rotting corpse and a sewer, which was disgusting.

Jinnian's nose was always very sensitive, and the smoke immediately made her tears fall, and the area around her eyes turned red, as if she had just cried. Qi Tiezui was also choked by the smoke, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and he looked like he could kill a fly. He hurriedly reached into his bag, stirred it a few times in panic, and finally took out a handkerchief, and handed one to each of them.

Jinnian quickly covered her nose. The handkerchief had a little fragrance. Although it could not completely resist the opponent's stench attack, it was better than nothing. Jinnian took a deep breath, grabbed Qi Tiezui's shoulder, and secretly thanked Mr. Ba for his kindness.

The middle-aged man tilted his body, and tried hard to see clearly what was inside with the help of the moonlight that was so weak that it seemed like it would go out at any time. After seeing it, an ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face. His eyes, which had been squinting, opened wide, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets and could not be retracted. His eyes were full of greed and excitement, and as hot as a burning dirty flame.

The moment he saw it clearly, he seemed to have triggered some mechanism and immediately sealed the mouth of the bag. His movements were swift and skillful. It was definitely not the first time he had done this.

His hands were pulling at the mouth of the bag frantically and forcefully, as if he would lose something if he was a second late. He looked so anxious, as if someone would rush out and snatch this stinky thing from him at any time.

He did not mind the bad smell and carried the things without hesitation. The heavy bag pressed on his shoulders, making him bend slightly, but his steps did not hesitate at all. He strode out of the yard with big strides, and the urgency on his face could not be concealed.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead again, flickering gloomily under the moonlight, and the reflected light spread out like a sticky black mist. He looked happier than if he had made a fortune, as if he was carrying not a smelly bag but a priceless mountain of gold and silver.

When Qi Tiezui saw someone coming, his heart skipped a beat and his eyelids began to twitch. It was not a good sign. His initial plan for the day was completely disrupted. But fortunately, there was still another day tomorrow and Jinnian would not run away, so there was no need to rush.................

Although Qi Tiezui was thinking about it, he did not slack off at this time. He reacted quickly and quickly pulled Jinnian down. His movements were swift and gentle, for fear of making any noise.

The two people's investigation has not even started yet. He really doesn't want the plan to fail just because he has finally seen a problem.

They lay prone on the ground, not daring to breathe, their bodies pressed tightly against the ground, as if they wanted to merge into one with the earth. Qi Tiezui hugged Jinnian, and Jinnian hugged the lantern. He was also careful not to crush the lantern, after all, it was the Eighth Master's little thing, and he was afraid that the Eighth Master would blame him if it was crushed.

Qi Tiezui's eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man, his heart beating madly, half because of nervousness and half because of the smell of the quilt. Jinnian was not nervous at first, but after hearing the thunder-like sound in her ears and realizing that it was Qi Tiezui's heartbeat, she also became nervous and her face turned pale. Similarly, half of her heart was frightened by Qi Tiezui and the other half was because of the smell of the quilt.

The opponent's "poison gas" is too lethal, and I have never encountered such a strong one.

Step by step, the middle-aged man approached the low wall where they were hiding. His footsteps, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, were particularly loud in the silent night, like the beat of a life-threatening drum. Every step made Qi Tiezui and Jinnian's nerves tense. The two could even hear their own rapid breathing, which echoed in their ears, as if reminding them of the danger of being discovered at any time.

When the middle-aged man walked past the low wall, he seemed to pause for a moment. At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Qi Tiezui began to imagine in his mind whether the two of them could beat each other. It should be...not likely...

Qi Tiezui had a clear understanding of himself and knew exactly how much he was capable of. Similarly, he was also clear about Jinnian. Sometimes he couldn't even catch up with her, let alone a middle-aged man. The other man looked like a heavy worker, with that muscular body, it seemed like he could take down both of them in one round.

Jinnian's heart almost stopped beating. He held his breath and dared not move at all. He was unaware that Qi Tiezui next to him was already imagining a hundred ways for the two of them to die.

Qi Tiezui licked his dry lips and suddenly realized that it seemed not a wise choice for the two of them to come here. They were two weaklings and even if they could find out some secrets, it would be easy to kill them. It was a mistake... They should have found a rough guy to follow them.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man only paused for a short while. That moment of pause seemed like endless torture, making both men's toes so tense that they were about to grab the ground.

Fortunately, after a while, he continued to walk out of the yard, and the heavy footsteps gradually faded away, like a gradually fading nightmare.

Only when his figure completely disappeared into the night did Jinnian breathe a sigh of relief.

His body was trembling slightly due to nervousness, as thin as a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. He struggled to pull out the small lantern from under him. The dim light was swaying and seemed to be about to go out.

Jinnian was so frightened that he shook it gently. After waking it up, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked his lucky star for not crushing one of Master Ba's treasures.

Yes, Master Ba called them little darlings, and Jinnian didn’t want to make Master Ba sad because of her carelessness.

Jinnian patted Qi Tiezui who was still lying on his stomach and gently shook his shoulder: "Eighth Master, he's gone, why don't you get up?"

Jinnian lowered his head to look at him and saw that Qi Tiezui's eyes were bright and radiated a kind of energy in the moonlight.

There was a hint of ill intent in those eyes that even Jinnian could see, as if there was a flame burning. He bit his lip, feeling that the other person was thinking of something bad.

As expected, Qi Tiezui asked in a tentative tone, his voice full of temptation: "Do you dare to go in and take a look?"

Jinnian looked hesitantly at the direction the middle-aged man left, feeling uneasy, and retorted uncertainly: "What if, what if he comes back?"

"Just go and take a look. It will be out soon. Just take a look."

Qi Tiezui's words echoed in Jinnian's ears like a spell.

Jinnian didn't know yet that this choice would make him regret. He was really moved, and the curiosity in his heart was like an unstoppable flood. He wanted to know what the man had hidden in the room. It was this and that, and the hidden things made him even more curious.

Qi Tiezui had no awareness that he was luring the children into breaking into a private house. An excited smile appeared on his face, and when he saw that Jinnian was moved, he tried to coax and trick her into going in.
