Tracked down
Tracked down to 44
I think the three people behind me are also unbearable, but now no one can open their mouth to speak and doubt whether this road is going in the right direction. The stench that has been stored for many years is already making people feel nauseous and want to vomit, let alone speak with their mouths open, who knows where a piece of "gold" will suddenly fall from somewhere and land on your body.
In fact, I don't need to wait for those things to fall down, my body is almost covered with this stuff now, and in front of me, I'm facing a pile of products again, I have no choice but to climb up forcibly, without gloves, I can only use my hands to scrape upwards, watching those soft things drill into your fingers, under your fingernails, I estimate that even using ten bottles of hand sanitizer won't be able to wash it clean, and this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat mantou with my bare hands again.
I really don't know that the foreigner's dug cave would be forcibly requisitioned as a toilet, and there are so many goods stored. Fortunately, those foreigners all died underground, if they knew their cave had become this kind of use, I'm afraid they would choose to stay down there for a lifetime.
I stepped on those painful things and stood in front of this half-meter-high pit, and as I thought, the surroundings of this thief's hole were laid with several large bluestones, and beside the bluestones was a circle of stones piled up, seemingly long ago changed into a natural toilet.
Just as half of my body was still exposed outside, I saw an old man from the village walking in slowly, carrying a wooden bucket and a shoulder pole, seemingly wanting to come here to scoop out some human waste for fertilization. Adding to that it was still during the dark period before dawn, he couldn't see anything inside the toilet at all. He threw down the wooden bucket with one hand, directly hitting my head.
"Ah yo!" I shouted loudly, but this shout was not okay, it scared the old man so much that he sat down on the ground. When he saw clearly that a human head was sticking out of the toilet, he was so frightened that he crawled out and disappeared into the distance, shouting something in his mouth.
I no longer care about the stinky smell, and I directly jumped out of that pit, when I walked out of the toilet, I found that the air here is incredibly fresh, my nose finally got a long-awaited liberation.
After I finished catching my breath, the other three people also climbed up. They were all like me, covered in 'gold' from head to toe. Each person kept a certain distance from the others, and no one was willing to say anything else.
There is a village, which should be Gejiacun not far from Xinghou Mausoleum. At this time, people have not yet gotten out of bed. I saw a well not far away and quickly ran over to it, pressing out water to rinse off the filthy things on my head, hands and feet. Lin Ruoshui and the others also followed me over, using the water to wash themselves together.
At this time, the four people seemed to have lost their previous tense atmosphere. Everyone had already forgotten each other's identities. For now, cleanliness was the most important thing. As they watched, the well water washed away the dirt on their hands bit by bit. Except for the lingering stench on their clothes, everywhere else was much cleaner.
"This is the dirtiest tomb raid I've ever had. Now I'd rather be caught by you cops than come to a place like this." Lin Ruoshui said.
"Haha." We both burst out laughing.
"You can go now, this time's mission has failed. But take this back with you, it's also good to have something to report to your superiors." Lin Ruoshui handed the Xing Hou Zhan in front of me, although it was also stained with those things, but I took it over, my eyes not leaving Lin Ruoshui's face for a moment. After washing up, she seemed even more captivating, her wet hair and face with water droplets making me feel a sense of reluctance to part with her.
"This thing originally belongs to our country, I just don't want it to go abroad again. Let's keep our own things by our side." Lin Ruoshui said lightly, patted Wu Liuqi on the back, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Will we meet again?" I asked with some reluctance.
"Meet? You're a soldier, I'm a thief. Meeting is never a good thing, hopefully this will be our last encounter." Lin Ruoshui said.
Watching the two of them slowly leave, I felt a sense of loss in my heart. Everything didn't happen as I had imagined. It seemed like we would have a better solution, but everything was already irreversible. Among the many endings I could imagine, this one was the only one I hadn't thought of.
"Ah!" Lin Ruoshui suddenly let out a soft cry and sat down on the ground, while Wu Liuqi knelt down tensely beside her.
As I saw this, I quickly ran over to see what had happened. Before I could take a few steps out, a figure appeared in front of all of us. The person was Luo Zheng, who had assigned me the task and told me to go undercover. In his hand was a pistol equipped with a silencer.
"I just arrived and you're leaving already? What a pity." Luo Zheng surprisingly didn't wear his police uniform, but instead appeared in casual clothes.
"You damn thing!" Wu Liuqi stood up, but at the same time he knelt down on the ground again. Luo Zheng's hand flashed with fire once more, striking his leg.
"Lin Ruoshui, we meet again. It seems you can't escape my grasp after all." Luo Zheng said with a smile to Lin Ruoshui.
"I knew you weren't someone to be underestimated. So the Luo Team they've been talking about is really you." Lin Ruoshui said, covering her injured shoulder.
"I originally wanted to use their hands to get rid of you, but it seems that you have reached some kind of agreement with them, and even handed over the priceless Xinghou Gui to them. It seems I made a slight miscalculation, but no matter. Everything has returned to my original plan. Le Tian, your task is completed perfectly, come quickly and hand over the Xinghou Gui to me. Tomorrow you will become an official police officer." Luo Zheng looked at me with a joyful gaze.
At this time, I was holding that Xing Hou Zhan but didn't know what to do. From their conversation, it seemed that Lin Ruoshui and Luo Zheng were acquainted. Since they knew each other, why did they have to use me to do such a troublesome thing?
