Saw grandfather

  "Qi Xie, you came out of there so quickly?" The most surprised was still Xiao Shou Hou, he looked at Qi Xie with a gaze full of admiration and reverence.

  "Let's go..." Qi Xie indifferently spat out a word, then walked ahead.

  The little monkey found my backpack, supported me and followed the footsteps of the two.

  Qī xié zhuǎn shēn, yánzhe shí bì, yòng lì de yī tuī, zhěnggè shí bì bèi tuī kāi le, huā de yī xià zi, yǎn qián yī piàn guāng liàng, cì dé wǒ de yǎnjīng yǒu xiē tòng.

  Several of us hid in that stone room, and before we could even look around, the door to the stone room was blocked with a loud crash.

  "Damn it, you don't need to wash your face like that, wasting precious blood!" Xiao Shou HOU saw me and immediately jumped back a few meters, his face pale with fright.

  "Ugh, quickly get me some water to rinse it off, this taste is disgusting!" The thin monkey's action clearly showed his distaste for the blood on his face. I chased after him, pretending to wipe it onto his body.

  The monkey's blood isn't just any ordinary stench, it's like having shit smeared on your face - the feeling is simply indescribable.

  I took the water bottle and simply rinsed it with water, using up a whole bottle of water. My face still had a heavy fishy smell, so I rummaged through my backpack, took out the water bottle to rinse again, but as soon as I took out the water bottle, it was snatched away by Little Skinny Monkey.

  "This water is precious, you're wasting it like this, we'll definitely die of thirst, mud coal, must save." Little Skinny Monkey said with a bitter tone, hugging the bottle tightly as if his life depended on it. If I try to grab it from him, he'll definitely fight me to the death.

  I shifted my body and stretched out a hand in a gesture of demanding debt: "You little rascal, come here, I won't rob you, give me the water."

  "Xiao Jiu Ye, I'm afraid we'll be staying here for about half a month, that's the initial estimate." Hei Shu walked over to me, stopped in front of me, and looked at me with a serious expression, as if I was being unreasonable.

  "Give me water, am I such an unreliable person?" I shouted at Xiao Shou in anger.

  The way they look at people is like I'm completely untrustworthy.

  "You're reliable, you're the most reliable of all, everyone knows that." Little Skinny Monkey saw me getting angry and hurriedly laughed, but still refused to hand over the water bottle.

  "I just reminded you a moment ago, just wash your face with a little water, and you've wasted the whole bottle of water at once. Tell me, would I give this bottle of water to you? Can I trust you?"

  The little monkey grasped the small eyes, holding onto me with a righteous expression on his face, refusing to hand over that bottle of water no matter what, looking like he had made up his mind.

  "I'm too lazy to bother with you." I turned my head and surveyed this stone room.

  This stone chamber is about 70 square meters, empty and desolate, not a single funeral object can be found. I swept around in a circle, but doubts burst forth.

  Since there is nothing here, if we come in, it should be a dark place where you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hand. However, at the moment, we haven't turned on our flashlights, yet we can still see people and the surroundings. The light here doesn't have 100 watts, but at least has 30 watts. So, where is this light coming from?

  No light, eyes can't see anything.

  This is one of the principles I think, besides, the place we are in is just so big, it can be seen at a glance, where does the glowing object come from?

  I hadn't had time to think carefully about it, and only heard the cold voice of Qi Xie rising up: "Things from outside can't come in, let's rest."

  He spoke, and I saw Qi Xie walk to the stone wall, put down his backpack against the stone wall, leaned against his backpack, and closed his eyes, not intending to pay attention to us anymore.

  I find it strange that there are so many monkeys outside, as if they're guarding this tomb. I recall that just now one monkey almost ate me up, and if several more come, I won't be able to escape.

  "I saw the monkey outside, and it's surprisingly smart. I've never seen a monkey look like that before. At first, I thought it was a person." Little Skinny Monkey said with fear, hugging the water bottle and putting it into his backpack, patting his chest.

  Hei Shu looked at me and said, "That's called Mei Hou Wang..."

  "King of beautiful monkeys, what's beautiful about that thing? It's ugly as sin." I interrupted Hei Shu, and my jaw almost dropped.

  That monkey looks very terrifying and is nothing like the beautiful Sun Wukong on TV.

  Hei Shu looked at me, his eyes flashing with a hint of unusual emotion, and continued: "Ordinary people usually call it the Beautiful Monkey King, but in folklore, some people also call it the Ghost Ape, or Mountain Goblin. I didn't expect to run into one here, let alone a whole group of them. The Mountain Goblin is mentioned in many ancient texts from our country, and legend has it that they can run faster than leopards, tear tigers apart with their bare hands, and are the overlords of the mountains. They're also said to live extremely long lives. Both 'The Classic of Mountains and Seas' and 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio' describe the Ghost Ape as a magical creature."

  I listened and felt that this thing is more powerful than the few big grey bears connected in the morning, can tear open tigers and leopards with bare hands, no wonder it's so powerful.

  "The gibbon, that thing is almost gone, ugly in appearance, resembling a ghost, with a violent temper, known as the most ferocious and largest monkey, extremely aggressive. And that beast, it's like it can think or something, calling us to take out our guns, wanting to charge over but hesitating, just staring at me dead on, its eyes, damn it was too creepy. Now thinking about it, my heart is still racing wildly." Little Skinny Monkey was also shocked, his face pale, patting his chest.

  The most ruthless?

  All I can think of are a few words, to be honest, I thought the big grey bear was fierce enough, but unexpectedly, this monkey, damn it, is so formidable.

  But it's just a bit ugly.

  Luckily, the ghostly monkey that just fought with me should be one that hasn't been born for long, otherwise, if it were a grown-up ghostly monkey, I would have been torn into pieces like meat by now.

  "I think they appeared in groups there, it's definitely not a coincidence, maybe they're guarding the hanging coffin." Hei Shu said thoughtfully, frowning.

  "How is that possible, it's an animal, this tomb looks like it has a long history, how can those ghosts live for so long? Besides, didn't they say this was a Han Dynasty tomb? That doesn't make sense!" I shook my head in surprise, no matter how I looked at it, the group of ghost monkeys didn't seem to be making any spiritual movements, they just seemed to have something extra and were moving quickly.

  Hei Shu stared at me, looked for a while, and his eyes seemed to have known me for a long time, yet revealed a few hints of coldness. I felt a thud in my heart, but when I took another serious look, Hei Shu's eyes didn't seem that sharp after all. It must be my own mistake. Then he asked in a low voice: "Who are they?"

  I heard this question and my face changed greatly, full of puzzlement and uncomprehendingly staring at the two people, but saw that they both had an incomprehensible expression.

  Hei Shu isn't a helper found by the Zhou family, is he? Then how could he not know which dynasty this mausoleum belongs to?

  But in fact he really didn't know, from the expression on his face, it was really unknown.

  But what's going on here? The Zhou family came to find him and hid some things from him?

  "Qiu Bo and they said, this is the Han Dynasty tomb, half a month ago, before entering the mountain, it was already confirmed as the Han Dynasty tomb." I replied, half a month ago, although I wasn't quite clear what was going on, but Qiu Bo and Zhou Baihe had already made up their minds.

  Thinking of this, my heart suddenly sank. Why didn't Uncle and the others let me follow them into the mountains? But instead told me it was a Han Dynasty tomb. Was it really because of Grandpa's words? Because they also saw that letter, I remember, their faces turned very ugly at the time, as if they were about to face death.

  Then, I saw Hei Shu's face change slightly, the sharp light in his eyes flashed by extremely quickly, and finally, he asked me in a hoarse voice with some uncertainty: "Is that what they told you?"

  "At that time, I was still by their side." I said lightly, but in my heart, I thought that at that time, it was just Grandpa's letter that occupied my mind, and I didn't pay much attention to Qiu Bo and the others. But I am very sure that they said this place is a Han Dynasty tomb.

  "Oh..." Hei Shu responded faintly, without much expression, and closed his eyes, saying nothing more.

  Then, the thin monkey found a place to sit down quietly, slightly frowning, as if thinking about something.

  Ask them, must be a ask three do not know, so I learn from them, put my head on the backpack, pillow on the brain, lying there, looking at the wound on my hand, just gently pulled down, hands will hurt, this damn, ghost monkey really heavy-handed.

  I examined the wounds on my body, except for that one on my calf, which was quite serious. Every movement I made felt painful.

  After applying some ointment to the wound and taking painkillers, it doesn't feel as throbbing and painful as before.

  After finishing all this, I took a look at them and found that they were all sleeping with their eyes closed. Especially the little skinny monkey, who was lying on the ground in a big character shape, holding his backpack tightly with both hands. The sight made me want to laugh out loud.

  So I also leaned against my backpack and lay down, it was impossible not to sleep.

  It's been a tough journey all along, and since leaving the inn, I haven't had a good rest.

  I don't know how long it took, until someone gently patted my shoulder, I suddenly jolted awake, opened my eyes, and was fully alert.

  Right after that, I saw a face, a kind face, smiling at me.

  "Grandpa..." I exclaimed excitedly, my whole body unusually thrilled.

  It's been almost two months since Grandpa went missing, and now I finally see Grandpa.

  Excitement, agitation, all sorts of happy emotions, occupy my entire being.

  Grandpa nodded at me and made a zipping motion with his hand, indicating that I shouldn't speak. He pulled my hand and led me forward.

  Not two steps had been taken when the grandfather in front suddenly disappeared, I was shocked and wanted to shout loudly but couldn't make a sound. Taking another step forward, a layer of cold sweat appeared on my back, scaring me so much that I sat up from the ground.

  It's a dream!

  Scared me, how can it be so realistic? Is it because I've been through too many unusual experiences recently that I had such a dream?

  I took a look around and they were all still sleeping soundly, so I lay back down again, but somehow I just couldn't fall asleep.

  "Hoo... " A gust of wind came, cold and gloomy. I shuddered all over, my vigilance immediately rose to twelve points, looking around.

  The surroundings were quiet, and even breathing sounds could be heard. The little monkey's snoring was particularly loud.

  I pulled my ears closer to listen carefully, my gaze fell on the stone walls around me. Maybe it was because I was thinking too much and my mind was a mess, but at this moment, I always felt like something was staring at me. I quickly turned my gaze back from the stone wall, and my heart was horrified.

  That's just human nature, sometimes people are often scared of themselves and suspicious of everything.

  Suddenly, from the top of the stone wall in front, a burst of 'rustling' sounds came out, and my heart was lifted up at once.

  I grabbed the handgun I had placed next to my backpack earlier, aimed at that position, and was about to scare those little monkeys away.

  A faint light appeared on the stone wall, seemingly emitted by a flashlight.

  A head poked out from the stone wall and made a cautious gesture towards me.

  At that moment, the whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, and his brain was frozen in an instant. The gun in his hand also fell to the ground, making a 'slap' sound.

  My eyes gradually turned red, and tears dripped from the corners of my eyes one by one.

  "Grandpa..."
