Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 96

Tashi asked me to go and see Lao Yan first. As for the corpse chaser, he thought it was a blessing that the other party escaped on his own initiative in the mountains.

Seeing his exhausted appearance, I also understand this truth, but I feel a little uncomfortable when I think of the corpse exorcist making Lao Yan like that, but in the end, rationality prevailed over impulse.

"Why did you save us?"

Although I have heard the conversation between him and Kumbu, I know that he should not have much malice towards us, but it is still a bit weird to rescue us.

Tashi glanced at me and said quietly, "It's just to pay off the debt."

I was baffled, and he asked lightly, "Do you still remember the wolves you met before?"

As soon as I heard it, I exploded, and asked him that the wolves were brought by him?You must know that because of this pack of wolves, the lives of me and Laoyan are still being hanged by Gu insects.

He shook his head and said no, but it was indeed his fault that Lao Yan and the others couldn’t hear my cries for help. At that time, he just wanted to teach me a little lesson, because I shouldn’t eavesdrop on his conversation with Kumbu.I didn't expect that I would meet a pack of wolves. By the time he reacted, Lao Yan and the others had already found me.

After saying this, he disappeared into the darkness before I turned around, and asked me not to mention to Kumbu that he had been here before.

Looking at his disappearing back, I just felt that I was holding my breath in my heart and didn't know how to release it.It stands to reason that Lao Yan and I still have to worry about the harm he caused, but this time without his help, Lao Yan and I would surely die. For a while, I don't know whether to be grateful or hate Tashi?

I stood there for a while, and finally I could only tell myself that this was my destiny, so I ran back to the cave along the side road.

Lao Yan was still in a coma, but somehow his face turned red, he didn't look like he was going to die anytime soon.

"I hope Miss Qiu and the others are all right." I leaned against the mountain wall, feeling a little worried.

The corpse chaser escaped, he didn't know that we have other accomplices, it's okay, if he knows, Miss Yiqiu's hidden location is not so difficult to find...

But now I can't take care of them anymore. I have been exhausted after a day of tossing and fighting with zombies. If I hadn't cared about Lao Yan, I would have passed out right now.But even though I gritted my teeth and held on, I still fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

"Wake up, Chang'an, wake up!"

I was fast asleep when I heard Lao Yan calling me.I woke up immediately with a jerk, and saw that Lao Yan lying on the side had already woken up, but he was not in a good condition, and the voice calling me was so soft that if I hadn't been worrying about my heart, I might not have heard it at all.

I rushed over to ask him what's wrong, and he said weakly, "I seem to have heard something just now."

sound?

I listened with my ears sideways, and there was no other sound except the wind in the mountains.

Lao Yan said strangely that just now, he seemed to hear a sound of gnawing leaves, but he was not sure, thinking that maybe he had hallucinations.

I didn't care, just asked him how he felt?
"Hey!" He sighed, "Sure enough, it's an old bone. If it's left in the past, how could it be the way of a corpse chaser? Such a little injury can't bear it."

Hearing his tone, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and asked him to rest for a while, and then went to join Miss Qiu and the others when the sun rose.

Originally, I wanted to wait for him to heal before meeting other people, but when I thought about the two-day deadline given by Miss Qiu, if I went late, I was afraid that she would do something impulsive.With the means of exorcising corpses, if we rush to find them, we will only suffer.

"No hurry, isn't there another day?" Lao Yan shook his head, and then asked me to take a cigarette out of his pocket.

I said helplessly, you old smoker, when is this, and you are still thinking about that puff?
Lao Yan chuckled, saying that he could think more clearly when he smoked.

I had no choice but to take out the cigarette according to his instructions and stuff it into his mouth.

He raised his hand, took two sips of the cigarette tremblingly, spit out the smoke ring, and sighed: "Comfortable!"

I saw him like this, took the cigarette from the old cigarette holder by accident, took two puffs, then frowned and said that I really don't understand, what's so good about this cigarette?At the beginning, in the army, everyone loved each other too much.

"You're too young to understand. When you reach my age, you might be able to smoke better than me." Lao Yan snatched the cigarette from my hand, didn't know what he thought of, and fell silent like this.

Seeing that he was silent, I took the opportunity to put the cigarette that was almost burning to the butt of the cigarette on the ground and stifled it, urging him to rest quickly.

He no longer insisted on smoking, and just closed his eyes in silence, not sure if he fell asleep or not.

After daybreak, I went out of the cave and found some edible fruits nearby, then turned back to the cave.It's not officially autumn yet, and these fruits haven't matured yet, but our dry food has been lost in the process of fighting with the corpse hunters, and we can only rely on this thing to satisfy our hunger.

Fortunately, Lao Yan and I are not picky, we have eaten everything that is not particular about it, so a few bites of it will be regarded as a solution for breakfast.

"Are you really not going to find them?"

I wiped my mouth and looked at the sky outside. Although we agreed with Miss Qiu that it will be noon tomorrow, I am afraid that something will happen to them.

Lao Yan analyzed: "The corpse chaser escaped, but you picked up his most important bell. Do you think he can let you go?"

I took out the bell from my pocket, slowly shook it twice and said: "This thing is no different from ordinary bells, how can it drive away corpses?"

I was very curious about the soul-repressing bell of the exorcist, but when I picked one up, I found that it was exactly the same as the bells usually bought in the market, which is nothing unusual.

Lao Yan took the bell, touched the copper tongue inside with his hands, and listened to its sound, the expression on his face was unpredictable.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, I asked curiously.

He shook his head and said nothing, and told me to put the bell away. If he guessed right, each corpse exorcist may only have one of this kind of soul-relief bell, so the corpse exorcist will definitely come back and ask us for it , then it might be an opportunity.

I was confused, but I planned to hide the bell, so I didn't care.

"Tonight, let's go to the depression again."

Watching me hide the bell, Lao Yan suddenly said something.

I looked up at him in astonishment: "But your injury..."

He raised his hand and interrupted me, with a serious expression on his face: "Didn't you notice that the exorcist was very shocked by our appearance in the depression? And he insisted that we were tomb robbers, so the Cancong tomb is likely to be nearby, we can't Such an important clue was missed."

What else do I want to persuade, but he is determined to go, I see that there is nothing I can do to persuade him, so I have to light the only thing on my body, and finally sighed: "Old Yan, this time I have to do it again." If something goes wrong, the two of us will really explain it."

There were only five bullets left in the gun, and Lao Yan didn't move, but it wasn't enough to add it all together, and there was only a dagger...

Lao Yan felt a little headache looking at such equipment, but he still didn't change his mind and insisted on going to the depression to have a look again.

In the afternoon, I went to the woods to find something to eat, cleaned up Lao Yan's wound, and then quietly waited for the evening to arrive.

When the sun was about to set, I set off with Lao Yan on my back. Although he insisted that he could walk, I did not agree: "Even if you have energy, you have to wait until the depression!"

Hearing what I said, he didn't object anymore, he leaned on my back and muttered: "I always feel like someone is watching us."

I didn't pay attention at first, but I really felt it when I heard what he said. It seemed that every time I took a step, the gaze followed.I pretended not to know, and suddenly looked back, but saw nothing.

"Are you still going?"

I frowned, the only thing I could think of who could follow us in the woods was the corpse hunter, so our going to the depression now is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Before Lao Yan could speak, a burst of fireworks suddenly lit up on the mountain. Lao Yan's face changed, and he patted my shoulder and said anxiously: "I won't go to the depression anymore, go meet Xiao Qiu and the others, hurry up!"

I quickly changed direction, and asked him what's wrong while driving fast?
"This is Leng Yanhuo calling for help, something happened to them." Lao Yan's tone was extremely anxious at the moment.
