Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 249: All Seriously, Go Down to the River

"what?!"

Wang Hu and the other two shouted in unison.

After the three of them looked at each other, Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi looked at Zhao Ziang at the same time.

When faced with unknown dangers, people are more willing to trust people they are familiar with.

Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi have a deeper friendship and trust each other more.

Zhao Ziang, who joined halfway, became a suspect.

Zhao Ziang felt that he was isolated.

He hurriedly said to me: "Master Chen! I am not possessed by a ghost!"

"Don't listen to them!"

"If anyone is ever going to be possessed by a ghost, it's definitely going to be these two!"

Wang Hu glared and said, "You are the thief crying thief!"

"We haven't said anything yet, and you're already blaming me!"

"It's definitely a guilty conscience!"

Ga-bang-bang!

The stone mill clenched his fists, and his joints made a series of crisp sounds.

He glanced at Zhao Ziang and raised his fist.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Ziang's forehead, and in a panic he reached behind his waist with his right hand to draw his gun.

But his hand touched the lower back and found nothing.

Only then did I remember that I had taken the gun away a long time ago.

His face instantly fell.

He squinted his eyes and cried, "Master Chen, even a possessed ghost can look at people!"

"People with sufficient Yang energy cannot be possessed!"

"Not only do I have a lot of yang energy, but I'm also a criminal police officer. After all, I'm a public servant. Ghosts won't easily possess someone like me!"

Zhao Ziang's explanation is not nonsense.

Ghosts usually target people with weak yang energy, such as frail women and children.

It is rare to directly attack an adult man with strong yang energy.

Wang Hu and the other two are at the age when their qi and blood are strong and they have plenty of yang energy.

Especially the stone mill.

Thanks to years of martial arts training, his qi, blood and yang energy are much stronger than those of ordinary people.

According to common sense, it is impossible for ghosts to possess them.

Actually, I have no evidence to prove that they were possessed by ghosts.

It's just that the frost on their bodies was too strange, which made me suspicious.

Therefore, they deliberately said that they were possessed by ghosts to test them.

From the moment they exclaimed, I was carefully observing the expressions and tones of the three of them.

After a brief observation, I have a guess in my mind...

"fart!"

"You coward, you first wronged us, and now you're talking nonsense!"

Wang Hu got angry and jumped up cursing.

He waved his fist to hit Zhao Ziang.

Zhao Ziang took two steps back and assumed a grappling fist stance: "I'm not talking nonsense!"

"If you don't feel guilty, why would you jump up and hit me?"

"I think you are the one who feels the most guilty!"

I stepped between them and waved my hand, saying, "That was just a joke. I wanted to liven up the atmosphere."

"I didn't expect you all to take it seriously."

"Ah?!" the three of them said in unison again.

Zhao Ziang let out a long sigh, then covered his chest and rubbed it vigorously: "Master Chen, your joke almost scared me to death."

"I was just thinking about how to escape."

Wang Hu rolled his eyes when he heard that, put away his fist and said, "Master Chen was joking to help us relax, but I didn't expect you to be so incomprehensible."

"You've been frightened into this state by just one sentence, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a government official? I bah!"

Zhao Ziang's face turned red due to the pressure.

I opened my mouth to make some excuses, but I didn't know how to say it.

Finally, he lowered his head and closed his mouth.

In fact, Zhao Ziang's reactions, words and actions are quite consistent with his character of being eager for quick success and unwilling to take responsibility.

When it comes to profitable things, he rushes into things faster than anyone else.

If something dangerous happens, he will pass the blame on to others and hide as far away as possible.

Wang Hu's reaction in the first half was relatively normal.

His subsequent reaction of swinging his fist to attack was somewhat rash.

Although Wang Hu is not considered to be both brave and resourceful.

But he's not completely brainless.

Shi Nianzi was not good at speaking, but he had practiced martial arts and was fond of fighting.

So it is normal not to get involved in verbal arguments and to clench your fists and be ready to fight at any time.

I clapped my hands and said, "Nianzi, take out the life jackets and distribute them to everyone."

"Down the river in ten minutes."

When they borrowed ropes and other equipment from the municipal bureau, they also borrowed life jackets from the fire department.

Rubber inflatable life jackets were not common at that time.

The city-level fire department is also only equipped with a small number of them.

If I hadn't borrowed the power of Commissioner Geng, I would never have been able to borrow a life jacket.

"Go down to the river?!" Zhao Ziang suddenly became anxious.

He grabbed my arm and said, "Master Chen, the river is dangerous!"

"Lao Su and the others are a warning to us!"

"We can't make the same mistake again!"

"Just now, so many heads floated up from the bottom of the river. If we go down into the river..."

The more Zhao Ziang spoke, the more frightened he became.

The hand holding my arm was shaking violently.

Shi Nianzi's hand froze as he was taking a life jacket out of his backpack. He slowly turned his head to look at the river, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Apparently he was reminded of the horrific memories before he fell into a coma.

After looking away, Shi Nianzi lowered his head and continued to take out the life jacket.

Wang Hu sucked his teeth and said, "Those things in the water are too evil... Hey, those heads are gone?"

"Why is Lao Zhang gone too?"

"There seems to be a smell of blood."

"Master Chen, what happened just now?"

Swish!

The stone mill and Zhao Ziang looked at me together.

The two of them, along with Wang Hu, looked at me with inquiring eyes.

"Lao Zhang has chased those heads deeper into the city, so we are running out of time and must rush over to reunite with Lao Zhang as soon as possible."

"This..." Zhao Ziang shrank his neck, his face full of retreat.

"Master Chen, um, I can't swim."

"How about I stay at the cave entrance and wait for you guys? If you guys don't come out by sunset, I'll find someone to rescue you."

“This will also provide an extra layer of security.”

"Coward!" Wang Hu muttered with his eyes squinted.

Then he raised his head and said loudly: "Master Chen, I will follow you wherever you go."

"I'm not afraid of anything, even if it means climbing a mountain of sword or descending a sea of ​​fire!"

"It's just a river, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Nianzi, you should also express your opinion."

Shi Nianzi hesitated for two seconds, biting his cheek and said, "Master Chen, you treated my mother, so you are my benefactor."

"I'm going down this river!"

Their statements were expected.

I had thought before about taking only Cui Hao deeper into the cave.

Let Wang Hu and the others leave the cave and stay away from danger.

But after the relics became hot, the situation became complicated.

It would be safer to take them along.

I nodded to Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi, then walked over to Zhao Ziang and squatted down.

"If you want to go back, I won't stop you."

"But whether you can get out is another matter."

"It's no less dangerous to go outside now than to go inside."

"At least Lao Zhang has cleared the road ahead for us, but the way back..."

After I said that, I gave Zhao Ziang a meaningful look.

Then he took the life jacket from Shi Nianzi and put it on: "Get in the water!"

Pfft!

I will go down to the river first.

Following Cui Hao, Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi also jumped down.

And Zhao Ziang chose to leave alone.

But we hadn't swam far when we heard the sound of someone entering the water again from behind.

Turn around and look.

Zhao Ziang also went into the water.

His hands were like clockwork, paddling quickly in the river.

His face was full of panic.

He doggy-paddled and shouted at me, "Master Chen... hurry up and save me!"

"Something is chasing us!"
