Back into the underground after 32 years

  Just as we left the anthropomorphic coffin, Hei Jue broke out of it again, but lost a pair of small legs. It seemed to have shrunk down quite a bit and was now about our height, but we didn't have time to think about that because the two stone statues were already toppling in our direction. They shook slowly at first, but once they started falling, they fell without any hesitation.

  Hei Pi was also unlucky, he had just stood up but didn't notice the situation behind him, and was suddenly hit by a stone statue, buried under it. Meanwhile, we had just opened that stone gate, and before taking a step forward, our feet suddenly slipped, and our bodies fell downwards.

  I turned around, only to find that the heads of the two stone statues had fallen and were now just a few centimeters away from our bodies. The ground was also collapsing under their weight, so the four of us fell down together with the falling ground and the statues.

  The underground isn't very deep, but after falling down, I found that this is actually another space, almost twice as large as the one above. Is this another tomb chamber under the grave? After the stone statue fell here, the entire ground only shook once and nothing else happened, it seems that we have finally reached the bottom of Xing Hou's tomb, no need to worry about digging down anymore.

  The anthropomorphic coffin and Hei Sha have been buried by the fallen earth and these two stone statues, even if it can come out, it will take some effort.

  "It's okay, it's okay, you're fine." I pulled Lin Ruo out of the soil pile with some tension, and except for some mud on her face, there didn't seem to be anything particularly wrong. After checking her body, she seemed to be uninjured.

  "You're back." Lin Ruoshui suddenly said a strange sentence to me.

  "Yes, I'm back, we're safe." That's all I could say to her.

  "It's great, you're back, I really can't bear to part with you." Lin Ruoshui had completely lost her previous tough personality and instead looked like a little girl, clinging to my chest, tightly grasping my hand, as if afraid I would leave.

  "I won't leave, I'll stay with you forever." I don't know who the "Jun" in her words is, nor do I know what kind of relationship he has with Lin Ruoshui, but now I understand that the deep affection she looks at me with is actually for him. Perhaps in her heart, Jun is the most important person.

  I wish it could stop here, just let me hold Lin Ruoshui like this until old age, although I am not the one in his heart, but I am willing to replace his identity, because I saw Lin Ruoshui's tears flowing down, mixed with the dust on her face into a muddy mess, all over her face, it can be seen that Jun occupies a very important position in her heart.

  "It's nothing!" Wu Liuqi suddenly appeared from somewhere, also covered in dirt. He looked at me and Lin Ruoshui with a surprised expression.

  "It's nothing." Lin Ruoshui seemed to suddenly wake up, quickly wiping away the tears on her face, and sat up from my arms, leaving quickly.

  I don't know why she reacted so strongly, am I really not as good as that gentleman in her words?

  "Save me." A faint, weak voice reached my ears, and I quickly began to dig through the soil. Finally, I saw Momo's hand, and I quickly pulled her up. When she could breathe again, she suddenly hugged me tightly, her heart racing as if she was extremely frightened.

  "I was so scared, I thought I was buried alive!" He held me tightly in his arms, almost to the point where I couldn't breathe. If only it were Lin Ruoshui holding me like this...

  "First leave here and find a flatter place to sit down." Wu Liuqi said as he came over to us.

  I pulled Mu Mu and walked away, Wu Liu Qi suddenly fell to the ground behind us, I quickly turned around to help him.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. Maybe I just used too much force and now my head is spinning a bit. After resting for a while, I'll be fine." Wu Liuqi didn't let me take care of him, but instead propped himself up to stand.

  "It's time for a break. That Black Fiend really wasted a lot of our energy." Lin Ruoshui said with some worry, looking at the stone statue.

  We left the place where the stone statue was and casually found a flat spot, which was filled with bronze wares. They seemed to be used as burial objects. Any one of them would be worth a lot on the market, but we were not interested in these things at all now, instead, we kicked them aside as obstacles and sat down together.

  After cleaning the dirt off my head and body, I found that my chest seemed to be wet, so I quickly opened my clothes and found that the wound had really cracked open, blood had dyed my entire front chest red, even my clothes had changed color.

  "Here, apply it yourself. Remember not to overexert next time." Wu Liuqi tossed the medicinal ointment from his house into my hands, while he himself put on another set of clothes.

  I gritted my teeth and applied medicine to my own wound. Just as I turned around, I saw Lin Ruoshui grasping Mo's hand with a somewhat heavy expression.

  "What's wrong?" I asked.

  "She's got a fever, I'm afraid the wound from before has become infected. If we don't get out of here soon, it might trigger other symptoms." Lin Ruoshui said as she looked at Moqi's neck where the bloodstain was.

  "Can't I use this medicine?" I held up the medicine Wu Liu Qi gave me.

  "That's just treating external injuries, now Mo has been infected silently, this is no longer useful, must use anti-inflammatory drugs." Lin Ruoshui said.

  "Isn't there anything in the things you brought?" I said as I rummaged through the backpack she handed me, but everything inside had been crushed and mixed together, making it impossible to tell what was what. The food and drinks had all turned into mush, so I just dumped them all out.

  "Let her lie here for a while, we need to speed up our actions. If nothing happens with the bronze basin, and if this is indeed the last chamber of Marquis Xing's tomb, then Lady Xing should be lying right here. Hopefully, those two stone men didn't crush his coffin." Lin Ruoshui said.

  Just as Lin Ruoshui and Wu Liuqi got up to search for the tomb, my flashlight seemed to sweep over a small thing that flashed in front of me, maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.
