Time was passing by little by little, and we were waiting silently in the tomb. Time was passing quickly, and that day was probably the 17th. We basically didn't talk in the tomb, just waiting silently.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tomb. We looked nervous when we heard it. There was a long corridor outside our tomb and our room was at the end. It was impossible for anyone to pass by.
Master Hu San winked at us, signaling us to be quiet, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck. I understand that we don’t know who the person who is coming is yet, but no matter who he is, we have to subdue him first. If he has no hostility, it will be fine, but if he does, it will be bad.” “
We all fell silent. The entrance to the tomb was not very big, just about one meter wide. Wu Zhicong and I picked up a stone from the tomb and walked behind the door. Master Hu San and the others also found a dark corner to hide in.
After waiting for about ten seconds, an old man walked in from outside the door. Wu Zhicong and I didn't care whether he was old or not. We took the stones in our hands and hit him on the back of the head. What we didn't expect was that the old man seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He turned around quickly and grabbed the wrists of Wu Zhicong and me who were attacking him.
"Young man, don't be so nervous. It's easy to get angry." The old man said with a smile. Although the light in the tomb was not very good, I always felt that the old man's face seemed a little familiar, but I just couldn't remember it. However, I still shouted: "Grandpa, don't hit him yet. This old man seems a little familiar, as if I have known him before."
"Little kid, have you forgotten me? Have you forgotten who carved the Zhurong Lihuo Talisman for you?" The old man let go of my and Wu Zhicong's wrists. I suddenly remembered what he said and looked at him and said, "Oh, it's you, old man. Why are you here at the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?"
"It's okay, I just came here for a stroll, but things haven't been peaceful in there lately, and it's dangerous to be alone in here, so I wanted to find a few people I know to travel with. Then I figured out that you're in here, so I came here to ask you to protect me." The old man said with a smile on his face, then said with a stern face, "Why? Are you not welcome?"
"Uh." I was not very welcoming in my heart. After all, it was a special period now. If someone suddenly wanted to join us, I couldn't just agree to it casually. But this old guy had helped me before. It would be bad to say no to him. So I pointed at Mr. Hu San and said, "Old man, that guy is the leader of our team. If you want to join, you have to ask him. I can't make the decision alone."
Mr. Hu San also stood up. Although he didn't look very energetic before, he was refreshed now that a stranger had come. He stood up with a look of spring breeze on his face and asked, "What's the old gentleman's name? Can you tell me?"
Master Hu San also wanted to ask who this old guy was before considering what to do next. If he had a good reputation in the underworld, he would let him join, so that more people would mean more strength. If he was notorious, then he would just get rid of him now.
"I'm just here to join in the fun. Don't bother me. I will never ruin your business." The old man smiled and walked into the tomb without any courtesy, then sat down. Then he took out a bunch of snacks, drinks, potato chips and the like from his bag. We all swallowed our saliva when we saw them. You can't really blame us for being greedy. Although we had dry food biscuits and other things, they were the kind that contained various vitamins abcd. It is said that this is the stuff that special forces eat. It was obtained by Master Hu San from other channels. It is very nutritious for the human body.
But that thing tasted like bran. The old man didn't care about his image at all and just took the potato chips and started eating them in big mouthfuls, and also drank Sprite and something. You may not be able to understand how we felt at that time. You can imagine eating bran for a month, and then someone eats all kinds of snacks in front of you, then you will understand how we felt.
Wu Zhicong was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed twice, looked around and said, "It's normal for an old man to want to visit the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum." Then he shamelessly went over and took two bags of potato chips and started eating. Then he started chatting with the old man. Of course, the topics they talked about were all very boring.
Later I couldn't help it, so I walked over and took two packs and started eating. Huang Zhenmin and Mr. Meng also came over and started eating. As for Mr. Hu San, he also came over and ate a few pieces.
As the saying goes, if you eat someone's food, you will be soft-hearted, and if you take someone's money, you will be grateful. And seeing that the old man didn't seem to have any hostility, Mr. Hu San, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief. We also asked the old man's name, and he told us to call him Mr. Liu.
Although Mr. Liu often said during our chats that he was just here to join in the fun, I always felt something was not right. During the chat, Mr. Liu often showed a thoughtful expression, and when he discussed Taoism with Mr. Hu San and Mr. Meng, only Mr. Hu San and Mr. Meng could interject. There were some issues that Wu Zhicong and I had never heard of.
When Old Liu went out to urinate, Master Hu San also quietly told us that this Old Liu was no ordinary man and was very powerful, and Master Hu San was probably no match for him even when he was outside.
This judgment is definitely not made from the few sentences in the conversation. After all, someone who is good at bragging may not be good at fighting. It's about aura. Although Old Liu came in with a smile on his face and did not have the demeanor of a master or the air of a king, Third Master Hu always felt a kind of pressure from him, and the words and actions that Old Liu sometimes revealed inadvertently were full of charm.
It’s like two people who look exactly the same, one is the President and the other is an ordinary person. From their words and actions, you can tell at a glance who is the President and who is an ordinary person.
But this Mr. Liu really had no ill will towards us, and we didn't say anything else. We just treated him as one more person to entertain us. I don't know why, but Mr. Liu seemed to be most interested in me. He often pulled me aside to chat and asked about what happened after he met me. It was boring to stay in this tomb anyway, so I told him everything slowly like telling a joke. After listening to him, he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
