"There seems to be a sound..." Lao Bai calmed down and listened carefully to the movements around him.
"Buzzing..."
"Why do I hear this sound? There are a lot of wasps coming towards us!" Loach's hearing is the best among us. He can hear more clearly than ordinary people, and his judgment is basically very reliable.
As if to verify what the loach said, along with the continuous "buzzing" sound, I saw a dense group of wasps suddenly return above our heads.
The number of that group of wasps was very large, and their size was larger than that of ordinary wasps. They were called "king wasps."
They directly covered the walls above their heads.
"Oh my god, how come there are so many wasps in this damn place!" Loach looked at the group of wasps in shock.
I secretly sighed to myself that we were unlucky. We had just come in and we were in big trouble. No one else is so lucky.
I looked at Loach and Lao Bai who were still in a daze and said loudly, "Two gentlemen, what are you still looking at? If you don't run away now, are you going to wait until you are stung by a wasp and turn into a pig's head before you run away?"
Only then did Loach and Lao Bai come to their senses and yelled, "Run!"
Then the three of us spread our legs and started running. Now it's time to compete in speed. Whoever runs slower will be stung into a big pig's head.
"Old Bai, you are well-informed. Do you know what these wasps are about?" Loach asked Lao Bai while running.
"How do I know?" Lao Bai said with a bitter look on his face, "I've only been to the tomb twice, and I haven't seen everything."
Then he turned his head and looked at me, "I'm sorry, Dongfang. It's all my fault this time. I had to come down to take a look. I didn't expect that we had just come down and encountered these pestering hornets!"
I sighed and said helplessly, "Don't say that. You are originally a businessman who deals in antiques. I can understand that you can't resist this temptation. And after all, you accompanied me here.
If you had come here with me, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. If you really feel sorry for me, treat me to a big meal after we go out!"
"Okay, if we can really get out alive this time, I'll treat you, good loach, to a good meal. You can choose the place. You can order whatever you want. Anyway, I'm not short of money!"
"I'll go!" Loach said speechlessly, "You still have the mind to imagine a beautiful scene after we get out alive. Are you familiar with our current situation and haven't you figured it out yet?"
The three of us ran forward as hard as we could, but the wasps following us were like landowners collecting debts, refusing to relax at all.
After running for so long, I already feel that my physical strength is almost unbearable. If we continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before we are chased by the hornet behind us. At that time, our fate can be imagined.
So while I was running at top speed, my eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, hoping to find a place where we could temporarily hide for a while and get rid of the hornets that were chasing after us.
Suddenly my eyes lit up and I saw a tomb with an open stone door.
I felt excited, then I braked suddenly and stopped.
I pointed to the room and said excitedly to Ni Loach and Lao Bai, "Lao Bai, Ni Loach, let's hide in quickly!"
"Okay!" Because we were worried that the wasps would catch us, the three of us hid in the tomb at almost the speed of light.
Then we worked together to close the stone door.
After closing the stone door, all our strength seemed to be drained out of us all at once. We didn't even have the strength to stand, so we collapsed directly on the ground.
None of us spoke for a while, and all that could be heard in the tomb were heavy breathing.
"If Dongfang had discovered this tomb in time, I think we would have died. Those wasps kept chasing us as if they had taken Viagra!" After a while, Loach slowly regained some strength, and slowly
said.
I smiled, "This shows that everything has its own destiny, and our fate should not be cut off!"
"That's right!" Although he is still very tired now, after escaping from death this time, Lao Bai's expression is obviously much better. He said excitedly, "The ancients say that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune. This time we escaped from that group of big people.
If we escape from being chased by the wasps, we will definitely gain something later."
After a while, I said to Niyi, "Loach, you have the best hearing among us. Listen carefully to what's going on outside to see if those wasps have left. We can't stay here forever.
If the wasps are gone, let’s get out of here as soon as possible!”
It would be fine if I didn't come here at the beginning. Now that I'm here, I don't want to leave empty-handed, but I hope to gain something.
Loach nodded, and then listened to the movement outside through the stone door.
After a while, he turned around and looked at us, "It's very quiet outside. I didn't hear any other sounds. I guess those wasps have flown away. We can go out!"
I nodded, then stood up, pushed open the stone door, and walked outside.
I first leaned half out and looked outside to make sure that the group of wasps had really left here, then I waved to the loaches behind me, Lao Bai, and asked them to follow me out.
"Dongfang, I heard a legend from my father before!" After leaving, Loach suddenly walked up to me and said to me mysteriously.
"What did your father tell you?" I asked.
"My father said that when princes in ancient times were about to die, many people would be buried with them. After so many people died, piles of carrion would gather there, which would naturally attract a lot of animals. Some animals inadvertently entered the ancient times.
In the tomb, they regard the bloody carrion as their own food. Among them is a kind of bumblebee. This kind of bumblebee specializes in eating the carrion in the tomb. In this way, they become over-nourished and are much larger than ordinary wasps.
Like what we just saw."
I waved my hand like a loach, "Your father is deceiving you!"
"No, my father really told me this legend!" Loach raised his neck and said stubbornly.
"Let me just say one thing!" I have to say that Loach is really interesting when he gets serious. "Even children in kindergarten know that wasps eat pollen from flowers as food. Your wasps eat meat?"
When I retorted like this, Loach suddenly became speechless. "What you said seems to make sense!"
"Dongfang, Loach, hurry up and take a look, I have a new discovery!" Just as I was bickering with Loach, Lao Bai had already walked in front of us.
