"A cow herder?" Dou Sprout asked anxiously: "A bird doesn't poop! Who the hell would come here to herd cows!"
Yuan Bao was also panicked and hurriedly said: "Go up quickly! Find a place to hide! If you are seen here, you will be caught as soon as possible!"
"That's too late!"
On the robber's cave, Xiaoxuan said anxiously: "The cowherd is here! You stay down there and don't make any sound!"
After shouting this sentence in great anxiety, Xiaoxuan disappeared from the entrance of the thief's cave.
Next to us was the opened coffin. We men were covered in dirt and squatted on the ground, not daring to say a word.
With his head and brows furrowed, he looked up at the pit without saying a word.
This situation is an unexpected one that no one could have predicted in advance.
The heart thumps, thumps.
I clearly heard the sound of a bell, maybe it was the bell hanging around the cow's neck, and then a man spoke. If you listen carefully, you can roughly hear it clearly.
"Girl, what are you doing here?"
Xiaoxuan's voice was calm, but I could still hear a hint of uneasiness.
Xiaoxuan pretended to be relaxed and said: "Uncle, you herd cows. I don't do anything. I am a college student studying art in the city and I come here to collect pictures."
I nodded secretly after hearing this.
It's a good excuse. Xiaoxuan is not like us who are covered in dirt. She is clean and smells good. People will believe her when she says she is a college student.
"Hey, girl, why did you come here to paint? There are poisonous mosquitoes here at night. I see there are several tent bags over there. Where are the others?"
"Uncle, the others are my classmates. They went up the mountain and won't come down until noon."
"Oh, is it so...."
I don't know why, but this man's voice sounded a little suspicious.
I thought to myself, "Fuck you, have you been spotted?" It feels very bad to not be able to see people and only make random guesses based on their voices.
"Moo..."
At this time, the old scalper mooed,
"Haha, girl, why are you nervous? I'm not a bad person, so you can play and be safe at night. I have to go collect medicine. Let's go."
"Goodbye, uncle."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Sudden!
The next second, Xiaoxuan's voice suddenly rose, and she asked eagerly: "Uncle, didn't you go up the mountain to collect medicine? How do you get to the river?"
The man replied: "That kind of medicine grows by the river and is not available elsewhere. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come so far here."
Then I heard the ringing of the cowbells getting closer and closer...
The head was still expressionless, Yuanbao's face turned red nervously, and my heart was already in my throat.
As long as the cattle herder comes over, he will definitely and definitely see the robber hole! All of us under the pit will be seen!
"no!"
Xiaoxuan shouted: "You can't go there!"
"Hey? What?"
"You little girl, I'm not telling you, this is not your home. I can go wherever I want to collect herbs. You are too lenient."
After a minute or two.
sparse.
Several clods of earth fell from the thief's hole and almost hit Yuan Bao's head.
I slowly raised my head and looked up...
A middle-aged man with a flat head, a round face, and a mustache stood on the edge of the robbery cave, his eyes wide open! He was looking at the few of us in shock!
It’s over!
All seen!
The open coffin! All kinds of funerary objects in leather buckets! This man saw them all!
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, he stretched out his hand and pointed at us tremblingly: "You guys..."
He suddenly turned around and shouted: "Youngest! There are thieves here...!"
The last two words were not shouted out, but the middle-aged man suddenly covered the left side of his neck with his hand and coughed several times.
All I cough up is blood...
A pair of chopsticks used for eating were inserted diagonally through his neck!
The bloody chopstick tip came out from the other side of the neck!
There was blood coming out of this man's mouth and on his neck! His expression was very painful, and he turned his head and looked hard.
Then he fell face down and fell to the ground with a thud!
The chopsticks used for eating were still stuck diagonally in his neck!
Xiaoxuan's face turned pale, and she stood there gasping for air, with a bit of madness in her eyes.
"I...I...I asked you not to come over, you...why did you come over, why didn't you listen to me."
"Fuck!"
Seeing this man with chopsticks stuck in his neck, Douyazai shouted in horror: "Zhao Xuanxuan! You killed someone again!"
He pulled his head back first and slapped Dou Sprout Zai on the back of his head!
"Shut up! What are you yelling about! Get up there quickly!"
Xiaoxuan gasped for air. She was on top of the pit, and I was on the bottom of the pit, with a distance of nearly 10 meters in between.
Our eyes met and we looked at each other. In the sudden moment, a few drops of blood spurted onto her forehead, and the wind blew up her bangs, so she could see clearly.
"Yunfeng, don't be stunned! Hurry up."
"Oh...I know...I know the clue."
Because we didn't bring a rope ladder with us when we came here, we dug grooves every half meter in the dirt wall when digging the hole, and we stepped on these grooves when we went up.
We grabbed the rope and climbed up one after another as quickly as possible.
After coming up and looking at it, Yuan Bao said nervously: "This man is not dead yet! He is still breathing! What should we do? Do we want to save him? As long as he doesn't pull out the chopsticks! He can still live for a while!"
Indeed, Yuan Bao was right. I also saw that although the middle-aged man herding cattle had his neck pierced by chopsticks and lay motionless, with a pool of blood bleeding, his mouth was still slightly open.
Breathe out together, it looks very painful.
He looked at his head expressionlessly, then turned around and said, "Xiaoxuan, what do you think we should do? Should we rush back and send the person to the hospital? Maybe there can be hope."
After hearing the boss's question, Xiaoxuan lowered her head and glanced at the man lying on the ground.
The man's mouth was bleeding, and he was looking at her sideways, as if he wanted to say something.
Sudden!
Xiaoxuan walked over quickly, stepped on the man's stomach with her foot, and kicked hard!
Kicked him down!
The robbery hole is nearly ten meters high!
I just heard a popping sound from the bottom of the pit!
Then, Xiaoxuan turned around and seemed to see something. She ran to the side and struggled to pick up a stone with both hands.
The stone was dug out by us digging a hole and weighing about 60 kilograms.
Holding the stone, she walked to the edge of the thief's cave and seemed to be aiming it at the man's head at the bottom of the pit. As soon as she let go...
The big rock fell down!
We didn't expect her to do this.
Yuan Bao glanced down and saw that he was about to vomit.
I looked and saw that the upper part of this man's head, just above his nose, had been flattened by a stone.
There was blood splashed everywhere at the bottom of the pit, and some white liquid, like white tofu curd, flowed all over the floor.
Xiaoxuan is different from me. I have felt it very early. Many times, I have been controlling, avoiding, and not doing it. Because I know clearly that it doesn’t matter whether it is the first time or not.
The second time, it’s just you who did it! Or you didn’t do it!
Half an hour ago we were talking and laughing, because we accidentally dug up so many funerary objects and were about to make a fortune, but now, the atmosphere has become particularly depressing.
After doing this, Xiaoxuan turned around and went to the camp alone without saying a word.
After a few seconds, I stuttered and asked: "Head... your head."
"What should we do now? Can't we find the remaining golden beads?"
