Chapter 442: Climbing the ancient tomb alone
After being imprisoned for a whole day, I did not see a single kidnapper appear. However, at a fixed time every day, a small door would quietly open a crack, and then the meals for two people would be quickly delivered.
The food was very light, with almost no meat in sight. However, the vegetables were very fresh, which led Gu Qing to conclude that they were locked up in a self-sufficient mountain village far away from the town, rather than in the center of the city.
As a result, she also began to doubt the prince's statement. According to the prince, the walls here are as thick as the city walls, but judging from the small doors that are opened every time, the walls should not be thick. However, based on the ear power described by the prince,
, why can't he hear any noise outside? And, if it is in a small mountain village far away from the town, why is there this place decorated like a luxury KTV?
This made Gu Qing puzzled, 'Is this place inaccessible? Or... the room they are in is just a corner of a huge space?' Only in this way can it explain why the prince's hearing has lost its sensitivity.
!
Finally, when the small door opened again, she rushed over quickly and shouted to the outside: "Let us out."
It was also pitch black outside, and her voice was like a stone in the ocean, quickly disappearing without a trace. However, this time she finally heard a voice that sounded like both a human and a ghost: "Stop screaming, no one is coming here.
Even if someone comes, there will be no sound."
The door was closed again, and no matter how much Gu Qing shouted, there was no reply.
"Xianyuhuang, do you think the person who spoke just now was a human or a ghost?" Gu Qing shouted tiredly, recalling the voice that just answered her, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"It's okay if it's a ghost, because in this world, people are more terrifying than ghosts." Xian Yuhuang faced the wall. Ever since he discovered that Gu Qing was avoiding his face intentionally or unintentionally, he never looked back.
At this moment, Lin Jinghao was once again lost in the "Bagua" woods deep in the mountains. He did not expect that he would still be lost in the heavy fog now that he was using his soul to leave the body and move instantly.
Originally, he had not suspected this place from the beginning, but after listening to the words of the two kidnappers in the car, he decided to try his luck here because this was the only ancient tomb he knew.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker as the night grew darker. Lin Jinghao vaguely heard a dog barking from the front left, and then a man yelled: "You damn dog, you're barking again! I told you earlier."
, I asked you to get rid of this dog and make a dog meat hotpot, but you just didn’t listen. Look, there’s no one here? Here you go again for nothing.”
"You know nothing! You don't even think about what kind of place this is? An ancient tomb! Although this is just a tomb, can you guarantee that nothing like that will come out to scare people? Also, in such a heavy fog, there is someone you can see.
, or can I see it? If there is a dog, at least call the police and check the door." Another man's voice rang.
"Brother, are you overthinking this? We can't see, but dogs can?" It was obvious that the person who spoke first was not convinced by this statement.
"You don't understand this. Old people say that if this dog suddenly stares at a place and barks for no reason at night, it means it has seen a ghost!" The man who spoke later continued to explain.
"Ghost? You mean a ghost has come in now? Where is it?" The barking of the dog continued crazily and did not stop for a moment.
It meant coming down. The man who spoke first sounded flustered.
Lin Jinghao couldn't help but look around. In the quiet and peaceful night, apart from the thick fog, was there a single figure anywhere?
'Could it be that... this dog is barking at me?' He walked over looking for the sound. Finally, he saw a little yellow light in the thick fog. In the light, it looked hazy.
There are two figures of men, one tall and one short, carrying guns.
'This dog didn't lure him here on purpose, right?' Lin Jinghao was secretly surprised. As he was thinking, it was strange to say that the moment Lin Jinghao saw his grandfather's small courtyard, he was immediately stunned by the sound of the big yellow dog.
And it stopped.
"Why doesn't the dog bark?" the short man looked back at the big yellow dog in the yard and said.
"The ghost was scared away." The tall man looked at the little man and joked. It was obvious that making the little man scared was the happiest thing for him.
The little man fell silent. The big man achieved his goal and felt a little proud: "What, are you scared?"
"Afraid...aren't you afraid? What kind of ghost forest is this? People will get lost as soon as they walk in. Also, there is such a big empty tomb here for thousands of years. Do you think there can be any treasures in it? In the end, what?
None! Do you think...could it be the grandfather and grandson who hid all the good things?" The little man couldn't help complaining.
"What you said makes sense. How about... we take advantage of the boss and the others being away..." The big man stopped and turned around.
"No, the boss has said that the grandfather and grandson must not move, otherwise we will have to walk around without food." The little man was timid at first glance.
"What are you afraid of? We are not going to kill them, we are just going to inquire about the treasure. The boss will not blame us." The big man continued to encourage the little man.
Hearing this, Lin Jinghao already understood that his grandfather and grandson should be under house arrest by these people. However, what he couldn't figure out was? How did these kidnappers know this place? Also, without the leadership of their grandfather and grandson,
Next, how did these kidnappers get in?
'Could it be that some of the kidnappers know grandpa?'
In fact, despite the fact that Lin Jinghao found this place to save people, he has never doubted his grandfather's character. Although he and his grandfather only met a few times, and their exchanges were not extensive. But he believed that a person can abide by it for a lifetime.
He promised that the tombkeeper, who had never left the mountains and forests until now, would never be a fellow traveler with the kidnappers, nor could he be a prisoner.
The little man, who had been looking around, must have been moved by what the big man said. He didn't respond for a long time, which made the big man a little impatient: "Stop talking, let's go, maybe if we ask something."
What? The boss still wants to praise us?"
The big man stopped talking nonsense. He took the little man's arm and walked to the back of the yard. Behind it was the woodshed and utility room, which should now be the place where the grandfather and grandson were imprisoned.
Lin Jinghao immediately ducked and followed, and sure enough, the small wooden door opened. Grandpa and Xianyu Shanhong were tied up hand and foot, sitting on the ground against the wall, and Shanhong's mouth was even gagged.
As soon as he saw the two kidnappers, Shan Hong wanted to stand up, but after struggling for a while, except for the sound of "woo woo woo" coming out of his mouth, everything was in vain.
Grandpa couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted loudly: "Let him go quickly."
The tall kidnapper glanced at his grandfather with disdain: "Why, are you heartbroken? What do you think? You are so old, and you have been guarding this empty tomb in the mountains for so many years? You don't care.
Well, your grandson is still young. Look, aren’t you dragging him down? He might as well..."
"Why not? You bad guys will get retribution sooner or later." Although grandpa's hands and feet were tied, he still looked upright.
"Retribution? Are you kidding? Nowadays, whoever has money is the boss. You must have stayed in the mountains for a long time, and you don't know what the outside world has become?
I'm not laughing at you, you are too outdated. In today's society, not everyone is as noble and upright as you, and is indifferent to fame and wealth."
The tall kidnapper looked at his grandfather's face, and then at Shan Hong. Grandpa's expression was indifferent, but he could see that what he said had an effect on Xianyu Shanhong next to him.
"What do you think?" He suddenly reached out his hand and took out the thing stuffed in Shan Hong's mouth.
"Bah, I'll just follow my grandpa. Wherever he goes I'll go? Let me go quickly." Shan Hong shouted loudly as soon as he could open his mouth to speak.
"Your grandpa is a stubborn old man. You are so young, can you be so stupid? You must not know it yet, right? You are originally a rich third generation. You should drive a luxury car and live in a villa every day, eat delicacies from all over the world, and have several servants at home.
Look at what you look like now. You live in this small hut in the mountains and ride a worthless mountain bike. I don’t even think it’s worth it for you.”
"What are you talking about? The third generation of rich people? Don't talk nonsense." Seeing the tall kidnapper's words getting more and more outrageous, my grandfather immediately yelled next to him.
"Grandpa," Grandpa suddenly interrupted, which actually made Shan Hong begin to doubt his 'identity'.
"Grandpa, farewell grandpa, your grandpa is a fool. He must have not told you the secret about the Xianyu family's treasure, right?" Seeing Shan Hong's expression change, the tall kidnapper seemed to see hope, and he immediately added fuel to the fire.
He spoke more energetically.
"Treasure? What treasure? Grandpa, aren't we guarding an empty tomb? Where is the treasure?" It can be seen from Shan Hong's expression that the tall kidnapper's words have changed his heart.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Is there any treasure somewhere? You haven't been to the ancient tomb before? Have you seen any treasures?" Seeing his grandson starting to question himself, the grandfather began to have some painful expressions on his face.
"Nonsense? Old man, you can lie to your grandson, but can you lie to your own conscience? Our boss said that when your family was destroyed, you took away all the gold and silver treasures in the treasury. Even now
The wealth of the world's richest man is not as much as your family's...
Young man, your family could have been as rich as the rest of the country, but you have to endure poverty in this broken mountain. Is this the life you want?" The tall kidnapper became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, especially when he talked about gold and silver treasures.
Her pair of cloudy little eyes seemed to be shining with light.
