After my father ran into the tomb, he glanced at Chen Laizi, who was lying in pain on the black black iron ball, and then quickly turned his gaze elsewhere with a guilty conscience.
After looking around the tomb, my father walked up to me, carefully tugged on my sleeve and said: "Girl, didn't you say you don't have enough time? We still have to go out, let's go, let's go, here
There’s nothing there except those bats that just flew away, it’s not fun at all!”
Bai Yao glanced at my father, raised his finger helplessly and pointed at the black iron ball and said, "Master Xiao, what's going on with that iron ball? Where did it come from?"
"What iron ball? Where did the iron ball come from?" My father pretended to see nothing and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the black iron ball.
"Hey, really, where did such a big iron ball come from, and why did this crystal coffin break into pieces?" My dad pretended to be surprised and raised his voice.
The corners of Bai Yao and Hao Jingde's mouths twitched fiercely.
Both Lu Xiaohong and I had embarrassed expressions on our faces.
"Uncle Xiao, it's obvious that you just turned on an oil lamp and that iron ball rolled out. It almost didn't hit Ruowei and me." Dongzi exposed my father mercilessly.
"Boy, what are you talking about?" My father rushed over and covered Dongzi's mouth.
"I-I'm not talking nonsense-it's obviously you-" Dongzi said vaguely as her father covered her mouth and stared.
Bai Yao looked at my dad with a half-smile.
"Old fox, don't look at me like that. This iron ball obviously rolled out by itself. This kid is talking nonsense!" My father looked back at Bai Yao, still covering Dongzi's mouth with his hand, and said with evasive eyes.
Chen Laizi was still lying on the black iron ball, crying bitterly as if no one was watching.
My father looked at Chen Cripple with sympathy and intolerance in his eyes. He released his hand covering Dongzi's mouth and walked towards Chen Cripple.
"Uncle Xiao, did the iron ball you made hit the lame man's wife to death? This is going to be difficult. The lame man will definitely not take us out!" Dongzi took my father's arm and whispered.
"What are you talking about? The lame man's wife has died a long time ago!" My father shook off Dongzi's hand impatiently.
"Well, please stop crying. Although my wife is not dead, her soul is also gone. You see, I'm not crying either, right?" My father approached Chen Cripple, patted his shoulder, and pointed at his back with his finger.
Said the crystal statue on his back.
Maybe in my father's current world, he doesn't know how to comfort someone. Only by telling his own pain can he make others who are in the same pain feel better.
But what he said made tears well up in my eyes.
Chen Laizi slowly raised his head, looked at the crystal statue on my father's back, and murmured, "So she is your wife?"
"Well, her soul is lost. I have to take her out to get her soul back so that she can talk to me!" My father solemnly nodded to Chen Laizi and said: "Maybe you can also go and give it to your wife.
Once her soul is found, she can come back to life!"
Chen Laizi looked at my father blankly and murmured: "My wife's soul? Her soul was lost in this place outside the Three Realms. I don't even know if it still exists."
"Look carefully and you'll be able to find it!" my father said, looking into Chen Laizi's eyes.
His eyes were as sad as those of Chen Laizi after losing his lover.
Seeing Chen Laizi looking at him intently, my father lowered his head and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally release this iron ball!"
Chen Zizi took a deep look at my father, shook his head, turned around and gently stroked the human skin on the iron ball and said in a deep voice: "It's none of your business, she would have been gone a long time ago. If you hadn't released the iron ball, she would have been gone."
She can't even keep her skin."
This is true. Those young bats have not grown up yet, so they regard Chen Laizi's wife's body as a breeding ground for nourishment. If the bats wait until they grow up, they will probably devour them all, including their skin and hair.
As Chen Laizi spoke, his tears fell down in big drops, one drop at a time on the human skin, and then slowly spread away.
"Let's go, let me take you out!" Chen Laizi stood up unsteadily, without even looking at the human skin on the black iron ball, he walked towards the door of the tomb.
We all followed him silently, even my father didn't say a word.
Walking into the corridor, the shark oil lamp that had long been extinguished on the stone wall lit up again with a tinkling sound.
There was a dull rumbling sound above our heads, and even the entire corridor shook slightly.
Small pieces of soil began to fall, and there was a "dong dong dong" sound from the tomb where the human figurines were placed outside.
A small amount of muddy water slowly poured into the corridor where we were.
This world is going to completely collapse.
Chen Laizi walked to the corridor and stood under the third shark's oil lamp. The stone slab under the oil lamp was about one meter wide, which was the largest stone slab paved on this corridor.
The muddy water reached our feet.
Chen Laizi stood on another stone slab, raised his hand, and slowly turned the oil lamp on the lampstand, turning the oil lamp in its direction.
I remembered the "click-click-click" sound of the machine. When my father heard that sound, he was so nervous that he pressed his body against the stone wall.
Following that sound, the corresponding largest stone slab under the oil lamp slowly moved open a gap.
The gap became wider and wider, and soon the entire stone slab was retracted into the stone wall, revealing a stone step going down.
"You guys go in quickly, follow these stone steps, and you can go directly back to the White Rock Pool!" Chen Qizi said.
"Aren't you going?" My father looked at Chen Laizi curiously: "You feel sad, please go in front of us!"
My father didn't mean to distrust Chen Cripple by saying this. He just simply felt that Chen Cripple's wife was dead and it might make him happier if he could go ahead and go out first.
Obviously Chen Qizi did not misunderstand what my father meant.
He gave my father a friendly smile and said, "I'm fine. You go ahead. I'll be right back!"
"Do you want to take your wife out?" my father asked Chen Qizi seriously.
"Yes, I want to take her out too!" Chen Laizi showed an extremely bitter smile to my father.
Mud water began to pour into the steps, the entire corridor trembled even more violently, and stones even began to fall.
"Hurry up, it's too late, this place will be completely destroyed!" Chen Laizi urged us.
We no longer hesitated. The steps were not very wide and could accommodate at most two people side by side. Hao Jingde and Bai Yao went down first, followed by my father and Sean, Dongzi and Lian Ruowei, and then Lu Xiaohong and I walked at the end.
.
Chen Laizi did not follow us down, but waved to us and raised his hand to turn the shark oil lamp on the stone wall.
