  The old man on the road and others suddenly felt the rope getting heavier, almost slipping out of their hands. Qin, who had climbed up first, hurried to help hold the rope, while Tudouzi, who came later, grabbed the rope head and pulled hard. The old man in the front position turned his head and instructed: "You all pull the rope tightly, I'll go to help." After finishing speaking, he took out a dagger from his boot, wrapped the rope around his sleeve, and then jumped forward, instantly arriving near Liao Dongfeng.

  To be honest, if only the old man was present at that time, things would have been easily resolved. However, with Liao Dongfeng blocking the way between the old man and Mouse King, no matter how great the old man's skills were, he couldn't do anything. In a moment of urgency, the old man handed over the dagger, instructing: "Don't be afraid, kid, take this knife and cut off that ghost thing's long tail first."

  Liao Dongfeng was originally very weak, and now his hands were all lacerated by the ropes, with fresh blood dripping down, straight into the mouth of the Mouse King, who had gotten a taste of sweetness. The Mouse King's grip relaxed slightly, and the pressure from the ropes also eased up noticeably.

  The old man was still worried, but at the moment of life and death, the potential that people can exert to survive is infinite. What's more unexpected is that Liao Dongfeng is extremely calm at this time. He saw him use one foot to wrap around the rope, his eyes fixed on the knife handed over by the old man, and suddenly he swung out one hand to catch the knife. The other hand also loosened the rope, and the whole person instantly hung upside down on the rope. With a swing of the dagger, blood splattered everywhere, and the mouse king's tail was cut off, and it immediately rolled down from the mouse mountain.

  The tree fell, and the monkeys scattered. The group of mice rushed to help their king, and with the pressure gone, everyone finally pulled out the old man and Liao Dongfeng from the deep pit.

  As soon as Liao Dongfeng reached the ground, he sat down on the ground and refused to get up. The energy from before was gone, and before the old man could ask any questions, Liao Dongfeng fainted and fell to the ground unconscious. The old man then directed others to quickly carry Liao Dongfeng away, lest the big rat come back and cause more trouble.

  The heavy rain had completely stopped, and the wind had weakened a lot. The surroundings were still very dark, with only occasional flashes of lightning bringing brief moments of white brightness. The group of seven people didn't return to the house where they had stayed as educated youth until half an hour later, by which time the lantern at the door had been extinguished for some time.

  The young people saw the old man and Peng Jianjun come back and hurried to help. After settling down, the old man took Tudouzi and others to the inner room to talk. The leader of the women combed her hair and asked the old man without turning her head: "Why are they here?"

  The old man also poured boiling water for everyone, but he didn't answer the woman's question. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "What you want is all in the back room. Tonight's incident can be considered an interlude. Don't say anything more about it. These educated youths will leave early tomorrow morning, so hurry up and pack your things to set off tonight!"

  Just as he said that, Peng Jianjun's voice came from outside the house: "Old man, my friend has a high fever. Do you have any antipyretics here?"

  "I'll help you find him later." The old man added after turning his head: "The young fellow we rescued has some skills and guts, maybe you two can work together in the future. I'll try to keep him here." After finishing speaking, he was about to go out to find medicine when the leading woman suddenly asked a question.

  "Grandfather, as far as I know, you should be very familiar with that red-eyed one, shouldn't you? Its appearance at this time means something. Is it just a coincidence?"

  At this time, the old man stopped in his tracks and replied without turning around: "These are not things you should be concerned with, you'd better hurry up and do what you're supposed to do!"

  The old man finished speaking and was about to leave, but at this time the leader of the group intentionally asked: "Sir, are you hiding something from us?"

  The local dog also chimed in, "Yes, sir, didn't you say earlier that two masters would be going with us to the Grand Tomb? Where are they?"

  The old man turned around and glared at Tudi with a fierce gaze, saying: "I've made it very clear, are you all idiots?"

  The woman leading the group suddenly realized and asked in doubt: "Sir, are you referring to that young man? Is he one of them?"

  The old man turned his head, looked at the top of the house and sighed: "Without him, you can't go anywhere. It's a pity that his ancestors were our sworn enemies. All this depends on fate." When he said this, the old man turned his head again and instructed: "He will go to Xiahe Village next. His eyes can see through everything. I believe that what Liao Yang can do, his grandson can also do."

  "Liao Yang?" The team leader, Qin Liao and Tudi were all shocked to hear this name, because they had all heard the legendary stories and methods of this person. Back then, Old Man had worked with him before, when their team had nine people, each one a seasoned veteran. However, six of them lost their lives in Pamir, and it was Liao Yang who saved Old Man's life. But rumor has it that the disaster back then was also caused by Liao Yang himself. As for what exactly happened back then, Old Man never wanted to say, but it could be imagined that those experiences were a nightmare for him.

  No one spoke again, and the old man went outside to find antipyretics for Peng Jianjun. After handing over the medicine to Peng Jianjun, he deliberately asked this sentence.

  "Grandpa, aren't you very familiar with those three people?"

  The old man looked up at Peng Jianjun, and this glance made Peng Jianjun feel uneasy all over. He quickly knew better and walked away, because since he arrived here, the old man's every word and action had been particularly awe-inspiring to him. He also knew that this old fellow was not an ordinary person, and if he really got angry, it would absolutely not be a good thing for anyone, so it was better to avoid trouble and not implicate others.

  At this time, Liao Dongfeng, who was lying on the kang, suddenly had a severe cough. Peng Jianjun and the old man hurried over to take a look. At this moment, Liao Dongfeng opened his mouth and spat out black water, as if he was about to spit out his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs. In no time at all, Liao Dongfeng rolled off the kang onto the ground. When Peng Jianjun went forward to help him up, he suddenly saw that Liao Dongfeng's eyes had turned white, and there was also white foam coming out of his mouth.

  The old man hastily felt Liao Dongfeng's pulse, then pried open his mouth and took a look. Only then did he turn around and shout towards the inner room: "You three come out! Who made him like this? Qin Lie, Tugouzi, is it you two who did it? Xiao Letian can't do such a thing."

  Three people in the house heard the shout and immediately ran out to see what had happened. When Tudi saw Liao Dongfeng's appearance, he hastily apologized: "Master, this kid was soaked in the big mud pit for too long, his hands and feet were numb, so I let him smell the secret medicine, but I didn't have any bad intentions! Who knew that this kid's body was too weak, if I had known earlier, I would have carried him up at that time."

  At that time, most people present understood that if Tǔ Gǒu Zi hadn't done so, Liào Dōng Fēng would have been fed to the rats by now. The old man was also a reasonable person, so he waved his hand for Tǔ Gǒu Zi to step aside and told Péng Jiàn Jūn to help Liào Dōng Fēng lie down on the kang, then brought over silver needles to detoxify him.

  The sky was getting brighter, the rain had stopped, and the wind had died down. A group of educated youth should have set off on their journey, but after a sleepless night, they were all still fast asleep. Only Old Man Wang and three others had left under the cover of darkness. The old man was still sitting on the edge of the kang, waiting for Liao Dongfeng to wake up. Seeing that he showed no signs of waking, the old man got up and went outside to put away the lanterns, then walked off alone. Before long, he returned with a fellow villager and a tractor, and only then did they go to wake up the others.

  Liao Dongfeng was still unconscious, so he couldn't rush to the road. The old man entrusted Peng Jianjun to take others to set off first and promised to bring Liao Dongfeng to Xiahe Village as soon as he woke up. Peng Jianjun was half-believing and half-doubting, but for now, it could only be this way.

  As soon as Peng Jianjun and others arrived at Xiahe Village, they heard about another incident. A regimental commander of the Production and Construction Corps surnamed Lou was incited by the Red Guards and led a group of nearly 100 people to go to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in Lishan Mountain to dig up the emperor's tomb. They believed that the First Emperor was the root of feudal ideology, so under the expectation of everyone, Commander Lou took on this heavy responsibility and led his troops to rush to the mausoleum that morning.

  It just so happened that an archaeological team was working at the Da Ling site, and when Team Leader Lao Duan heard about this, he became extremely angry. He immediately found that Lou Lianchang to argue with him, hoping to hold onto this historical relic. But as the saying goes, "a scholar meets a soldier and can't explain himself", that Lou Lianchang didn't take the archaeological team seriously at all. He ordered his subordinates to detain all members of the team, and then arranged for explosives experts to lay explosives, preparing to blast open the tomb entrance.
