Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 235: Conspiracy, Red Dots on the Rock Wall

Old Man Su’s cry was like a cuckoo crying blood.

There is a sense of sadness in every word.

Only when you see your loved ones suffering and are powerless to save them will you make such a sad cry like the cuckoo crying blood.

I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

I thought that if I could help rescue Su Sheng, I would do my best to help.

But just as I quickened my pace, Zhao Ziang grabbed me tightly.

"Master Chen, don't rush to go!"

"Be careful of fraud!"

"It's not that I'm timid, but in a place like this, you have to be careful before you can sail safely!"

Zhao Ziang persuaded earnestly.

I was also enlightened by his words.

Just now, I suddenly had the thought of saving people in my mind, and completely ignored the abnormal behavior of Old Man Su before.

Am I also obsessed with things?

"Lao Zhang, what do you think?"

When asked, I pointed to my heart.

I used gestures to ask Taoist Master Zhang whether my mind was also bewitched.

Taoist Master Zhang shook his head slightly: "It's just that I'm too concerned."

"No matter what happens to Old Man Su and the others, Su Sheng is very important to us."

"Ma Si is using an open strategy. Regardless of whether it's a trick or not, we have to go and check on Su Sheng's situation."

"Just follow me."

Before he finished speaking, Taoist Master Zhang took a big step forward.

I followed closely behind Taoist Master Zhang, with Zhao Ziang and Wang Hu following on my left and right.

Cui Hao and Shi Nianzi lagged behind a little and stayed behind to cover their retreat.

As Taoist Master Zhang quickened his pace, our speed of progress also increased.

The sound of running water grew louder and louder.

The figures of Old Man Su and the others gradually became clearer.

Old Man Su was anxiously walking around the underground river. Su Meng and Su Lou had already gone into the water and were trying to move deeper into the underground river.

But the underground river was flowing fast, and it was difficult for them to stand firmly in it, let alone go deeper.

I frowned in confusion.

I can’t understand why they didn’t swim deeper after they went into the water?

Don’t they know how to water?

I raised the emergency light and waved it in the direction of Old Man Su: "Old Su, we're coming!"

"What's Su Sheng's situation now?"

Old Man Su jumped up, waved at us, and cried out in a tearful voice, "I can only vaguely see Sheng'er across the river!"

"He didn't respond no matter how much I called him!"

"My son, has he already..."

By the end of his speech, Old Man Su was sobbing.

The more I listened, the more confused I became.

There should be a rock wall of a cave opposite the underground river. Could Su Sheng be on the rock wall?

"Old Zhao, what does it look like on the other side of the dark river?"

Zhao Ziang said solemnly, "The flashlight we brought last time had a limited illumination range, so we could only vaguely see what was happening on the other side of the dark river."

"I think the other side of the underground river is the rock wall of the cave."

"There's only a riverbank on our side. The water on the other side is very deep and fast. There's not even a place to stand."

"So Su Sheng...can't be on the other side of the river!"

Having said that, Zhao Ziang handed the emergency light to his left hand.

His right hand quietly touched the lower back.

He had a pistol on his back!

You can see that he is very nervous.

So nervous that I needed a pistol to give me courage.

I smiled and patted his shoulder: "Relax, don't accidentally shoot your gun and hurt your own people."

"If it's really something sinister, bullets won't work. It's better to trust Lao Zhang."

Zhao Ziang's face flushed instantly, and he lowered his right hand awkwardly: "I'm just in case..."

"You're too nervous. I'll keep the gun for you first and give it to you when we get out."

I reached out and pulled the pistol from his waist.

The moment I drew my gun, Zhao Ziang raised his arm.

His body instinctively tried to stop me from drawing the gun, but he finally managed to hold it back.

"The gun is not loaded and the safety is not on..." Zhao Ziang said weakly.

I put the gun directly into my bag.

Patting his bag, he smiled and said, "It's best if it's not loaded and the safety is off. I don't know how to use a gun, so I'm just keeping it for you."

This is a preventive measure.

If Zhao Ziang gets caught, the gun in his hand will be a powerful weapon for us.

It's safest to keep the gun in your own hands.

"By the way, are you any good with a gun?"

In order to ease Zhao Ziang's tension, I started asking.

"Not bad. I can even hit the target with a 30-meter rapid-fire pistol."

Although Zhao Ziang spoke modestly, he couldn't help but reveal a proud look on his face.

Don’t think that thirty meters is very close and easy to hit when you hear it. In fact, it is not the case at all.

A standard target looks like an ordinary plate at a distance of thirty meters, and you can't hit it just by aiming when shooting.

It depends on your understanding of the performance of the pistol and shooting by feeling. Aiming is just a basic aid.

Without extensive training, many people will miss the target at 15 meters, let alone 30 meters rapid-fire pistol shooting.

Hitting the target in a 30-meter rapid-fire pistol shot is a very good result.

That's why Zhao Ziang couldn't help but reveal a smug look.

At that time, I didn’t know what it meant to hit the target at 30 meters.

I just thought that since he was so proud of this result, I would just continue with the conversation and it would just help ease his tension.

"It's pretty awesome."

"It just so happens that I don't know how to use a gun. Teach me when you have time."

Zhao Ziang patted his chest and said, "No problem, I promise to teach you until you learn it!"

"In fact, playing with guns also requires talent."

"As long as you have good talent and feed more bullets, I can't say I can hit the target from a hundred steps away, but I can still hit the target within 20 or 30 meters..."

I didn't even need to ask any more questions, he just started talking non-stop.

He also said that after we got out, he would take me into the mountains to hunt and practice shooting.

Seeing that his emotions had stabilized, I quickened my pace and chased after Taoist Master Zhang.

Taoist Priest Zhang reached the edge of the underground river and shone the emergency light towards the other side of the river.

The light hits the opposite rock wall.

But it emits countless dots glowing red!

The red fluorescent dots were so densely packed that there were countless of them, making one's scalp tingle.

If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would probably faint.

Zhao Ziang and Wang Hu were both frightened by the red fluorescence.

At the same time, they moved towards me from both sides.

"Oh my god!"

"What is this?"

"The red drops look like blood, so dense and scary!"

I calmed down and looked carefully, and found that the red fluorescent dots seemed to be in pairs, and the distance between each pair was almost the same.

It seems to be the eye of some animal.

Old Man Su pointed at the dense red fluorescent dots and said, "The child is right there!"

"Old Su, you must be dazzled. How could that be Su Sheng?"

"He's really my own son!"

"Sheng'er is hanging there in a bright red dress. Before you came, many things flew in and made Sheng'er look like this!"

Old Man Su’s words made my heart tighten.

How did Su Sheng end up hanging on the rock wall?

What is flying over here?

As I was pondering, I heard a splash in the water.

Su Meng's body tilted and fell into the water.

Wow!

Su Meng, who had fallen into the water, thrashed around frantically, desperately sticking his head out of the water and shouting, "Help...Help...Gululu."

Before he could finish his cry for help, his head sank into the water again.

I quickly shone the emergency light into the water.

I vaguely saw something in the water entangled Su Meng!
