Tomb Raiders
Chapter 43
Shen Liaobai and Wen Hao hid behind the screen holding their breath and watched the guards carry the bodies of the embroidered girls out. A guard circled around in front of the screen twice. Shen Liaobai was secretly thinking that something was wrong, but the guards had already pulled the screen aside. It shows the two people hiding behind the screen.
"What are you doing hiding behind here?" the guard asked with a frown.
Shen Liaobai was at a loss for a moment, but quickly calmed down and replied: "We thought that there was a fish that slipped through the net, so we hid in the back and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. We didn't expect the officials to come so soon. This is not right. Do you want to come out and report the situation to the officials?"
The guard didn't doubt it, he waved at them and said, "Don't stand around stupidly, come and help."
Shen Liaobai and Wen Hao looked at each other, each breathed a sigh of relief, but their plan to escape was in vain, so they could only help the guards carry the corpse out of the ground.
A dozen or so carriages covered with black cloth were parked at the door of the embroidery house. Seeing Shen Liaobai carrying out the corpse, the coachman raised the curtain and asked him to put the corpse in. Only then did Shen Liaobai see clearly that the interior of the carriage was paved with several layers. The bodies of the embroidered women were neatly arranged side by side on the soft black silk cloth.
"Be careful," said the coachman, "don't ruin their makeup, or they will have to do it again. It's too troublesome, and time is running out."
"Are these corpses going to be sent to the royal tomb now?" Wen Hao asked.
The carriage was already full of corpses, the driver lowered the curtains, and carefully tied the curtains on the shafts on both sides without any gaps, and then replied: "It is their blessing to be buried with the Lord, but they will be buried with the Lord. Before leaving the mausoleum, we have to go to another place."
Originally, as long as the corpses were moved, their task would be considered complete. Who would have thought that the group of guards did not intend to let them go. The guard who found their hiding place lifted the curtain of a carriage and motioned them to sit in.
This carriage is relatively spacious, and it is not a problem for two people to sit in it, but Shen Liaobai didn't want to share the carriage with the corpse, especially when he saw Xi'er's corpse still in it, he tried to talk to the guards to change a carriage, Who would have thought that the guard's attitude was firm, and in the end he even wanted to draw the knife from his waist, so the two had no choice but to sit in.
The window of the car was tightly covered with an opaque black cloth. It stands to reason that Shen Liaobai's eyes should be pitch black and unable to see anything, but he could clearly see Xi'er's face.Xi'er sat up slowly, brushed the shattered hair hanging around her neck behind her ears, and showed him a rather strange smile, two deep dimples appeared on her cheeks, which were a little scary deep, It seemed that the flesh on both sides of the cheek had been completely sunken in.
Shen Liaobai opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all. He kept his knees bent and couldn't even move his fingers. He could only watch Xi'er approaching.
As if deliberately trying to scare him, Xi'er moved closer to him bit by bit, stretched her slender neck and let out a breath in front of him, which reminded Shen Liaobai of the chill he felt when he was in the corridor , he couldn't help flinching.
"Master Shen, I don't think this group of guards are kind. Maybe they want to kill us too. When we get out of the carriage later, we must seize the opportunity to escape."
Shen Liaobai suddenly heard Wen Hao's voice, and his eyes returned to darkness. He tried to move his hands and feet, but he was a little stiff.Wen Hao seemed to be unaware of what had just happened to the other party, that is to say, he was the only one who saw the phantom just now, no, it might not be a phantom.
Shen Liaobai tried his best to keep his breath steady, and now he was at a critical moment, he didn't want to worry Wen Hao too much because of his own personal reasons, so as not to disrupt the plan.
"Master Shen?" Wen Hao didn't hear the answer, so he tried calling again.
Shen Liaobai responded in a low voice, and said: "Okay, we will run away immediately before they are prepared."
The carriage drove on a gentle road for a while, and then entered a section of uneven road. Shen Liaobai guessed that the carriage had already left the palace, and he twisted his sleeves uneasily. Still around.Shen Liaobai gritted his teeth, and finally stretched out his hand towards the direction of the cold wind, and touched a cold face with three-dimensional features.
Shen Liaobai let out an exclamation, moved a little outside, and met Wen Hao who was sitting in the door of the car, and asked in doubt, "Master Shen, what's wrong with you?"
"No...it's nothing, just being pricked by a wooden thorn." Shen Liaobai said.
Wen Hao did not doubt that he was there, Shen Liaobai exhaled, and touched the tattoo on his shoulder blade, although he didn't know whether the tattoo on his body would have any effect on the monsters he encountered, if he usually encountered this kind of Should the tattoo reflect the current situation, or is the current situation not dangerous?
The carriage drove for quite a while, and finally stopped, the door was opened from the outside, Shen Liaobai got out of the carriage behind Wen Hao, the crescent moon in the sky turned into a full moon at some point, and the blood-red moonlight It looks very weird.
The carriage stopped in a deep forest, and the guard tore off all the black cloth covering the windows of the carriage, and picked up two wooden barrels and debris from nowhere and stuffed them into the hands of Wen Hao and Shen Liaobai respectively. .When he was in the distance, Shen Liaobai could already smell a faint smell of blood, and when he took a look at the wooden barrel in his hand, it really contained a barrel full of dark red blood.
"Paint these on the car windows and doors," the guard ordered.
The guard's knife pointed at Shen Liaobai, and Shen Liaobai had no choice but to follow his instructions, wet a rag in the wooden bucket, and smear the blood on the frame of the car little by little. They stand aside.Wen Hao tugged at the corner of Shen Liaobai's clothes, and motioned him to stand under the shadow of a big tree. This position was far away from the guards, so that he could escape when they were unaware.
There was only the rustling of the wind in the woods late at night, and about a quarter of an hour later, this rustling was mixed with some smaller sounds.Shen Liaobai looked up the tree following the guards' eyes, and saw a hair-thick thing crawling down the tree trunk. This thing looked like the root of the cave grass, but it was thinner and the color It is also deeper, it winds down the tree trunk, climbs up the carriage little by little, and enters the interior of the carriage through the window.
Shen Liaobai's position happened to be facing the wide open door of the carriage. Under the bright moonlight, he saw that the thing got into the mouth of the female corpse and moved in little by little. At the same time, the surrounding trees climbed up and down. There were more of these things, some formed separately, some twisted together, the size of a forearm, and they got into the carriage one after another.
This thing is similar to the vines I saw before, but they are not as long as the vines. Specifically, they are only as long as an adult's finger, but they can be connected end to end with others to form a long, slender section.
The guards stood aside and watched the scene silently, Wen Hao touched Shen Liaobai's arm, and said softly: "Let's go now, be careful, don't be found."
Shen Liaobai nodded. As soon as Fang turned around, some warm liquid splashed on his face, and a strong smell of blood immediately permeated. He turned his head to look at Wen Hao, who was staring at Wen Hao Yuan Both eyes, Wen Hao's body was stiff, the tip of the knife pierced through his heart, and there were still blood beads hanging on the edge.
"Do you think you can get away?" The guard behind Wen Hao smiled cruelly, and he drew out his knife, the cold-glowing surface of the knife was covered with blood.
Shen Liaobai's brain was blank, and only a piece of blood was left in front of his eyes. He could vaguely hear Wen Hao shouting hoarsely, telling him to run quickly, then turned around and wrapped around the guard, who angrily stabbed him again, the bright red moonlight mixed with blood together.Shen Liaobai couldn't think much at all, but instinctively moved his feet and ran forward.
There were the sound of chasing footsteps and guards shouting from behind, Shen Liaobai just ran forward, even he didn't know how long he ran, when he fell heavily on the ground due to exhaustion, he saw A rosy morning glow reflected on the lake beside me.
He lay on the ground, and waited until the morning sun rose. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat up slowly from the ground. His hair, which was messed up by branches, hung down from his ears, covering his sight.
"Liaobai... why are you here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Liaobai slowly raised his head. Chu Yuyang was right in front of him, looking at him worriedly. He suddenly wanted to cry. He had experienced life and death several times before, and he had never surrendered. Even if the injury was serious, he always gritted his teeth and endured it, but this time, seeing his friend die in a tragic way in front of his own eyes, he couldn't restrain the sadness in his heart.
"Yangyang, why are you here?" Shen Liaobai asked, his voice was weak and dissociated, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
"I don't know either," Chu Yuyang said: "It seems that a distraction appeared here, I have been looking for you, have you seen anyone else?"
"Ask Hao...he...he's dead..." Shen Liaobai pursed his lips, holding back his sobs.
Chu Yuyang said in shock, "What happened?"
"I...I..." Shen Liaobai choked up and couldn't speak.
Chu Yuyang held his hand, although he was a little anxious, he tried his best to stabilize Shen Liaobai and said: "Don't worry, speak slowly."
The icy chill passed from Chu Yuyang's fingertips to Shen Liaobai's palm. Shen Liaobai was silent for a while, and when he looked up again, the mist in his eyes had dissipated. He looked at Chu Yuyang quietly, with delicate facial features With his dull amber eyes, the dagger in his hand sank into Chu Yuyang's chest with all his strength.
"You..." Chu Yuyang opened his mouth weakly, and blood gushed out from his mouth, flowing down his neck into the skirt of his clothes.
"You are not Chu Qianyang." Shen Liaobai said coldly.
Chu Yuyang in front of him was startled, and suddenly laughed, "How did you find out?"
Shen Liaobai sat up straight, looked down at 'Chu Yuyang' condescendingly, and said only two words, "Feeling."
"I forgot that your senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people." 'Chu Yuyang' wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulled out a cold smile, and said, "It's a pity that no matter how sensitive you are, you can't predict your own death."
His expression froze suddenly, and he hugged Shen Liaobai's waist. Unexpectedly, Shen Liaobai stabbed him in the back again with the dagger in his hand. He seemed to be annoyed by Shen Liaobai's behavior He turned around and twisted Shen Liaobai's hands. Shen Liaobai struggled hard, slipped his feet, and slipped into the lake beside him.
The lake water was instantly stained red with blood, and the man still clasped Shen Liaobai's hands tightly to prevent him from getting a chance to go ashore. Shen Liaobai saw his distorted face in the lake water until he exhaled the last breath in his throat. into darkness.
