According to both of them, the ones who should remain in place are me and Song A, but Song A said that after he finished speaking, he was left alone. However, I was clearly the only one left! What is going on here? Is Song A lying? Or have we really encountered something very strange?
Seeing that I didn't respond, Wu Xiaopang perhaps thought I was seriously frightened, so he patted my shoulder and comforted me, saying, "Feng Zi, in this kind of situation, there are many bizarre things; you need to adapt slowly. Don't be afraid, I, Wuma You, will protect you—"
By the time you protect me, I don't know how many times I've already died! I suppressed the urge to retort. Since I couldn't make sense of it, I just said, "My situation is similar to Song A's. I don't know why you all suddenly disappeared. I had no choice but to go to that cave to look for you, but what I saw was—"
After hearing my words, Wuma You pouted in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Tch, this little brat is still pretending to be pitiful. I wanted to comfort you, but you're really ungrateful."
Ignoring Wu Xiaoshou, Song A quickly asked me, "What did you see?"
"I saw Songzi." I stared into Song A's eyes and said seriously.
"Big Brother? You saw Big Brother!?" Sure enough, upon hearing this news, Song A reacted strongly, grabbing my arm and hurriedly asking, "Where is he? How is he now? Did you see anyone else, especially your dad?"
"Song A, you're too excited; calm down." I shook my head. This wasn't good news. Yes, we saw something resembling Songzi, but it was more like a snake! So that couldn't be the real Songzi, right?
Song A couldn't calm down at all. If he could stay calm after hearing this news, he wouldn't be called Song A, but rather Song Calm. He continued to anxiously ask, "What exactly is going on? Hurry up and tell me!"
Seeing Song A so agitated, I could only sigh and then explained in detail everything from the moment I saw Song A until escaping from the snake cave and falling into the fight. After listening to me, Song A fell into silence. But really, who would be happy to hear about a snake that looked just like their brother?
"Well, Song A, don't be too sad; after all, this is still an unknown factor. Who can say for sure that snake is your brother?" Wuma You started comforting Song A again.
"Yeah." Song A nodded lightly; I couldn't tell if he actually absorbed what was said.
Sudai crossed her arms and curiously looked at Wuma You, asking, "Oh right, skinny guy, how did you know this place might be an ancient tomb?"
Yeah, how did he know? I also looked at him with curiosity, waiting for an answer.
Wu Xiaoshou immediately became smug and said with excitement, "You guys don’t know this, do you? Haha, now you understand the usefulness of Wizard Grandpa?"
"Damn it, stop rambling and just tell us," Song A kicked Wu Xiaoshou and said irritably.
The chubby guy rubbed his kicked backside and laughed instead of getting angry. "Think about it, these snakes are in a place full of corpses. They use corpses as their nests, feed on corpses, and lay eggs in corpses. For us three living people, they just surround us without biting; it’s clearly unusual. So I boldly guessed that these snakes are pets raised in the tomb. Perhaps due to the passage of time or because the tomb has been looted or damaged, that’s why these things have come out to cause trouble!"
"Keeping snakes in a tomb and letting them crawl everywhere is really disgusting. The preferences of these ancient people are quite peculiar," Sudai pouted, the flickering firelight accentuating her delicate features and making her look even more enchanting.
Wuma You chimed in obsequiously, "Sudai, you don’t understand this. Anyway, they’re all dead; no matter how disgusting it is, they can’t feel it. But with these snakes guarding the place, any scholar trying to sneak in would face more than just disgust; one wrong move could lead to being buried with the tomb owner! And guess what? I found something good inside!" He proudly pulled out a palm-sized stone carving from his pocket.
"What is this?" I asked just as Wu Xiaoshou kissed it like a treasure. The thought that he claimed to have found it in a snake's nest made my skin crawl; how could he kiss it!
Wu Xiaoshou continued excitedly explaining, "This is a good thing! This is called Dragon Stone Carving. I saw one at an auction; it should be from the late Qin Dynasty—it's an antique!"
He eagerly held the Dragon Stone Carving under the torchlight, examining the inscriptions on it. After a moment, he jumped up excitedly and stammered, "Longevity... It actually records something that can grant longevity! Alas, too bad the inscription is incomplete; I don’t know where it is."
Song A and Sudai quickly took a look at it while I remained uninterested and said, "Ancient emperors sought longevity after gaining power and authority; many have pursued this. What’s so surprising about that?" Although I said this, I still felt a strange sensation inside me. Since this place recorded information about Eternal Life, it wasn’t surprising that my dad and others had been here.
Perhaps my words dampened their enthusiasm and excitement. Sudai didn’t argue but instead looked at Song A and changed the topic by asking, "What’s up with that Black-Furred Zongzi? How did he set his sights on you?"
"I don't know either," Song A scratched his head and said with a frustrated expression, "When I saw you were missing, I went to look for you. But damn it, I don't know who dug such a deep pit on the ground. I didn't react in time and fell right in. Then I just found a torch to light a fire and saw that Black-Furred Zongzi. I couldn't fight it, so I ran away. You all know what happened next." Song A shrugged and let out a deep breath.
Although I wasn't sure if what Song A said was true, I thought he had no reason to lie to us, so I asked, "So how do we get out now?" After all, this time we were really unprepared. Even the only one who had fought before, Wu Xiaoshou, wasn't very reliable. Ultimately, we had put ourselves in this situation!
They didn't answer, and the surroundings fell silent again. I raised my hand tiredly to support my forehead, and the green jadeite on my bracelet seemed to expose itself to the air like a curious little baby. I was taken aback, staring at the translucent green jadeite in a daze. My dad said that when I was born, my health was very poor; I was almost sick every other day. A wandering fortune teller took one look and was shocked, saying that I had too much Yin Qi. If it wasn't dispelled quickly, I would be in danger of losing my life—he spoke so mysteriously...
But how could a newborn baby have too much Yin Qi?
