It's impossible to get rich together. All four of you will die.
Ding Ze thought that considering that the main role of Qin Ling and his team was to improve Wu Xie's business capabilities, he should try his best to assist, so he smiled at Uncle Tai and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter by myself."
Immediately, he turned towards Wu Xie and Lao Itch, leaving the decision-making power to the two of them, "What do you two say?"
Lao Itch was silent for a few seconds and then said to Uncle Tai, "I think we should each do our own thing. After all, we are not familiar with each other..."
After saying that, Lao Itch asked Wu Xie, "Old Wu, what do you think--say?"
Wu Xie said nothing, only nodded slightly to express his agreement.
When Uncle Tai saw this, he didn't hesitate, and said in a kind and friendly tone, "I can understand your concerns, we are really not familiar with each other."
"Then, we are here to wish you a fortune in advance."
After saying a polite word, Uncle Tai's eyes moved and fell on the secret door on the ground, and asked, "How about you guys leave first?"
When Wu Xie heard this, he frowned and said, "You'd better leave first. We still have problems to solve."
"Okay," Uncle Tai responded without any ink, then walked towards the secret door with full courage and fearlessness.
As soon as Uncle Tai moved like this, Er Mazi and the other three immediately started to move.
soon.
With a slightly harsh creaking sound, the rusty secret door was pulled up, revealing an entrance about one meter long and wide.
The entrance is open.
Er Mazi shined the flashlight downwards.
The light shines straight downward, dispersing a little of the darkness and barely illuminating the scene below.
Immediately.
Uncle Tai and the other four, as well as Ding Ze and the other three who were looking down at the secret door, all saw...
It is very deep below, with an extremely steep, almost straight, seemingly endless stone staircase.
Most of the stone steps that you can see are quite narrow, and the width is basically not enough for the entire foot to fall down.
The rock walls on both sides of the stone steps are somewhat green, and they are covered with a lot of water vapor, making them look wet and very humid.
The seven people observed silently, and for a moment, no one spoke.
Time passes by second by second.
After a while, the impatient Er Mazi was the first to say, "Uncle Tai, are you leaving?"
Uncle Tai glanced at Er Mazi, did not respond, and turned to Lao Itch, "Brother, you walked this road three years ago. Is there any danger down there?"
Uncle Tai asked in a rather polite tone.
Lao Itch shook his head, "It's a mine down there, there's no danger."
"Thank you," Uncle Tai thanked him without asking any more questions, "Er Mazi, you go ahead and we will follow."
Er Mazi nodded without further ado, moved his body, and stepped onto the stone steps leading deep underground.
Uncle Tai and three others followed in turn.
Not long after.
The figures of the four people completely blended into the darkness below.
See the situation.
Ding Ze was too lazy to look anymore, so he looked away, followed, stuffed the submachine gun still in his hand into his backpack, then took out cigarettes and handed one to Wu Xie and Lao Chu, who both had complicated expressions.
"It seems that the person eaten by the Zheluo Salmon was Boss Li from Uncle Tai's group."
Seeing that Wu Xie and Lao Chu showed no signs of saying anything and had no idea what they were thinking, Ding Ze had no choice but to speak and take the initiative to start the conversation.
The effect is pretty good.
Wu Xie answered, "Well, the five of them have become four. Boss Li is missing. The person in the fish belly must be him."
"Boss Li, are you the one who has ---- "Hemu Ji"? No wonder Uncle Tai, he ---- they know how to spend time trying --- tried several mine tunnels, it turns out
It's because he who knows the way is eaten by the fish."
Lao Itch followed, and after finishing speaking, he picked up the topic that was interrupted not long ago and asked Wu Xie, "Lao Wu, I - shall we go on?"
Hear this.
Wu Xie held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Lao Itch. He looked at Lao Itch without blinking for a few seconds before speaking in a solemn tone, "Lao Itch, I can go on, but the premise is that you promise what you just said,
It’s all the truth!”
Lao Itch nodded very simply, "I promise!!!"
Wu Xie: "Okay, let's rest here for a while, wait for Uncle Tai and others to walk a little longer, let them take a trip around Lei, and then go down."
Old Itch: "Okay!"
-----------------------
A decision has been made.
The three of them leaned against the rock wall and sat on the ground, smoking cigarettes and chatting casually.
Wu Xie probably realized that Lao Itch couldn't tell what the benefit was anyway, so Wu Xie didn't talk about it anymore.
Ding Ze was not surprised by this... On the contrary, Lao Itchy didn't mention the submachine gun at all, which surprised him a little. After all, he just lied yesterday and said that he only brought a pistol.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he was no longer surprised.
'Lao Itch is a smart man. He should have guessed that I lied about the gun because I doubted him.'
'Not mentioning it at all now... From a certain perspective, it is equivalent to actively repeating the previous lies.'
Thinking about it, Ding Ze glanced at Lao Itch and couldn't help but feel more and more, 'If it weren't for the power of the original author, Lao Itch would definitely be an awesome character in the entire world of "Tomb Raiders".'
'If nothing else, let's just talk about the ability to materialize...'
‘Tsk! Invincible!!’
Such thoughts flooded into my head again.
While he was idle, Ding Ze tried to imagine the scene in which Lao Itch would make things out of nothing at every turn in the follow-up plot, materializing things and completely destroying the worldview of "Tomb Raiders Notes"...
'Sand sculpture version of "Tomb Raiders Notes"!'
‘Written as an online novel, the protagonist travels to Lao Itch and makes trouble in "Tomb Raiders Notes". The results will probably be very good.'
Ding Ze was thinking wildly.
Before I knew it, about ten minutes passed.
Lao Itch pressed out the cigarette butt in his hand and couldn't wait any longer. "Lao Wu, Brother Ding, it should be almost done. Let's go down."
"Yeah," Wu Xie heard and nodded in agreement.
Ding Ze also nodded.
The three of them stood up.
As usual, Lao Itch walked ahead holding a flashlight and took the lead on the stone steps under the secret door.
Wu Xie followed and walked in the middle, while Ding Ze still walked at the back.
"Old Wu, these stone steps are very difficult to walk, and they are very long. You must - be careful, don't roll - roll down," Lao Itch reminded after a few steps.
He said, "Otherwise, we will all have to fall—to a bloody head."
"(??へ??╬), Old Itch, you should say this to yourself, I will never leave!" Wu Xie replied in an unhappy tone.
Lao Itchi chuckled and didn't say anything more, just silently and slowly moving downwards.
Wu Xie saw this and said nothing further.
It was quiet in the passage.
For a while, there were only the sounds of footsteps and increasingly heavy breathing;
It wasn't until about five minutes of walking that Wu Xie couldn't help but made a sound in displeasure... This state of mind was broken.
"Old itch, this stone step is so damn long, my feet are almost cramping!"
When Lao Itch heard this, he turned around and smiled, "If you bear with it a little longer, it's almost over. If I remember correctly, if I walk for a few more minutes, the stone steps will become more and more...
gentle."
Wu Xie was silent, "╮(╯▽╰)╭!"
A few minutes later.
"We're here, there's a turn in front of us. After passing this turn, it will be much easier," Old Itch reminded.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the corner.
Suddenly, due to the illumination of the flashlight.
The three of them saw it one after another...
Starting from here, the stone steps become a bit gentler due to the angle.
Then, some changes occurred on the rocks on both sides in front, and the color turned into reddish brown... and, under the light, there were some small reflections.
"Old Wu, can you - can you tell - these - these stones, what kind of stones they are, and whether they are worth anything?" Lao Itch suddenly asked.
Wu Xie: "It's not worth much. These stones are probably granite. The reason they are reddish-brown is because there is some mica in them."
"It's not valuable. I thought it was a good thing."
Lao Itch said with a rather regretful tone, and after finishing speaking, he sighed in a dignified manner.
Wu Xie ignored it, "Look at the situation here. The people who mined this ancient mine met the rock spirit here."
"They changed the stone steps to avoid this rock spirit..."
Bah bah bah bah, Wu Xie said.
After hearing this, Lao Itch said, "Don't worry about it, rock spirit or not, let's continue walking. The rest of the way is still very long."
Wu Xie said nothing, and the passage became quiet again.
The three of them were silent and continued to move downward.
At the same time, the stone steps became more and more gentle.
As we walked, we made a few more turns.
suddenly.
There was the sound of water flowing from the bottom of the stone steps.
The sound is not very loud, but it is not very weak either.
Wu Xie heard this and asked doubtfully, "Old Itch, is there an underground river down there?"
"Well," Old Itch answered in the affirmative, "There is a relatively wide underground river, and then there is a waterfall."
The words floated into the air.
moment.
Wu Xie was stunned: "????"
Ding Ze saw it and smiled.
'Haha, Wu Xie's expression at this moment is really suitable for an emoticon.'
'Would you like to take a picture and show it to Fatty later?'
