Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 441: Speculation, Filling Human Life

Han Bin had just finished speaking.

Two voices shouted in unison: "Ceremony?"

I looked at the two people who shouted.

It’s Ma Dong and Zheng Erbo.

They were also looking at each other in surprise.

Ma Dong’s surprise was as I expected.

So I focused all my attention on Uncle Zheng Er.

I squinted my eyes and looked at Uncle Zheng carefully. I felt that his surprised expression did not seem fake.

It seems that he is not clear about the ceremony.

What about Huang Ziran?

Did he know about the ceremony?

I immediately looked at Huang Ziran.

He had a gloomy face and lowered eyes, looking unusually calm.

The calmness made me feel nervous.

He must know about the ceremony!

Otherwise it would be impossible to be so calm!

Huang Ziran noticed my gaze and raised his eyelids slightly.

He looked at me with a faint gaze.

When our eyes met, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an indescribable smile.

That smile was very sinister.

There is also a bit of irony hidden in the gloom.

It seems like he is mocking my late realization!

Before I could figure out the meaning of that smile, Huang Ziran suddenly retreated into the shadows.

In almost the blink of an eye, his figure had merged into the dark shadow cast by the courtyard wall.

Huang Ziran's figure became increasingly blurred under the shadow.

The next second, it will completely disappear from my sight.

not good!

He's going to run!

My heart tightened.

He rushed over to stop Huang Ziran.

Ma Dong suddenly took a step sideways to block my way.

I was about to push Ma Dong away in a hurry, but I saw him grabbing Han Bin's collar and pulling Han Bin up from the ground.

Ma Dong yelled manically, "What kind of bullshit ceremony is this?!"

"What's going on with the Yu family?"

"Tell me everything clearly!"

Ma Dong roared and shook Han Bin hard.

Han Bin, who was covered in wounds, could not withstand such torture. He grimaced and cried out in pain.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!”

"Brother Ma, please be gentle, I'm a wounded soldier!"

"Please let go of my hand first!"

Not only did begging not work, it made Ma Dong's hands even harder.

Han Bin immediately turned his head and looked at me.

"Help me," he cried.

"It hurts like hell."

After Ma Dong made such a fuss, Huang Ziran's figure completely merged into the shadows and disappeared without a trace.

I hurriedly used my shoulder to hit Ma Dong who was blocking the way.

Bang!

Ma Dong was caught off guard and staggered.

He staggered back two steps before he managed to steady himself.

Then he yelled at me, "Fuck!"

"How dare you hit me, you little coward?!"

"catch him!"

The four strong men who followed Ma Dong grabbed me.

The four of them used eight hands to grab my neck, shoulders and arms, and held me tightly from top to bottom.

I stamped my feet anxiously: "Let go!"

"Let go!"

Not only did they not listen, they pushed harder.

I quickly shouted to Uncle Zheng, "Go after Huang Ziran!"

"what?!"

Zheng Erbo exclaimed in confusion, then turned his head to look around.

After looking around and not seeing Huang Ziran, Uncle Zheng knew that something was seriously wrong.

He quickly said to Ma Dong: "Xiao Ma, quickly ask your men to put the stone away!"

Ma Dong also sensed something was wrong.

He quickly waved to the four strong men.

"Let it go."

The four strong men then let go.

I said angrily: "They don't catch those they should catch, but they catch those they shouldn't catch!"

"Do you know how much of a delay this has caused?!"

Ma Dong lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and said in a low voice, "I don't know whether to arrest the guy named Huang."

"Besides, you didn't inform me in advance."

I smiled bitterly without saying a word.

If I had known earlier that there was something wrong with Huang Ziran, I would have definitely found a way to inform him.

Unfortunately, I didn’t know it earlier.

Uncle Zheng nudged me with his elbow, his face serious. "Why did Xiao Huang run away?"

"This shouldn't happen at all."

It’s no wonder that Uncle Zheng couldn’t figure it out.

In his opinion, Huang Ziran has an official status.

He is also the one in charge among the three of us.

It is neither moral nor logical to run away without telling anyone.

I don't have a definite answer to this.

Just some immature speculation.

I guess Huang Ziran himself has problems.

It is possible that someone is impersonating you, or that someone has something on you, etc.

For various reasons, he collaborated with others to set up a scheme, and dragged me and Uncle Zheng into it.

As for the purpose of luring us into this game, it must be related to tomb robbing.

After all, apart from tomb robbing, we don’t have any other skills that are valued.

But it is difficult to make this speculation public for the time being.

I nodded and continued speaking along the lines of Uncle Zheng Er's thoughts.

"Given his status, he shouldn't have done that."

"But when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on!"

"I think there should be some kind of deal going on between Huang Ziran and Old Man Qin."

"And the bargaining chip..."

I gently pointed at Uncle Zheng Er and Han Bin.

He indicated that the three of us might be the bargaining chips sold by Huang Ziran.

Uncle Zheng's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" (Chuan).

He shook his head and said, "I've worked with him twice, and I don't think he's the kind of person who would betray his friends."

My eyes lit up when I heard that.

He leaned close to Uncle Zheng's ear and whispered, "Do you think he's been any different these past two days?"

"Think about it carefully!"

Uncle Zheng's whole old face wrinkled.

After much thought, he said, "It seems there is no difference."

Ma Dong was very unhappy with our whispering.

He glared at us and said, "It's already this late. Is there anything you can't say to our faces?"

Seeing that he was anxious, I immediately said to Han Bin, "What's going on with the ceremony and the Yu family?"

Han Bin had secretly told me to look for the Yu family before.

But it didn't explain exactly what happened.

Now is the perfect time to clarify the reasons behind everything.

Swish swish.

Ma Dong and the others all looked at Han Bin.

Han Bin felt uncomfortable being stared at.

After hesitating for two or three seconds, he slowly said, "I also heard it from my father-in-law."

"He said that this kind of evil thing where many people died in a grave usually leads to curses or evil spirits."

"Enough lives must be lost to dispel the curse or evil."

"When I first heard it, I scoffed at what my father-in-law said."

"But when Old Man Qin brought us to Zhifangtou Village, I knew he had bad intentions!"

Hearing this, our faces all changed.

If they were to fill the gap in lives, they would naturally not use the lives of people from their own village.

They must be trying to find a way to fill it with the lives of outsiders.

And the street performer brought by Old Man Qin is the best candidate!

Boom!

Ma Dong clenched his fists tightly.

Because of excessive force, the joints kept making crackling sounds.

"grass!"

"That old bastard named Qin!"

"If he really dares to use our lives as a substitute, I will definitely let him..."

Before Ma Dong could finish his harsh words, the sound of gongs rang out again in the village.

Bang, bang, bang!

Following the sound of the gong, there was a series of clanging sounds of doors opening.

Zhifangtou Village, which was so silent that there was not a single sound of human voice, seemed to wake up with the sound of the gong.

The tightly closed gates on both sides of the village road opened one after another.

Every open gate looks like the gaping mouth of a devil.

It's like countless demons opened their mouths and are ready to devour us!

I grabbed Han Bin anxiously and whispered, "Tell me where the Yu family is?!"
