After saying that, Zhang Zi Kong immediately laid down on the rubber raft and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Although they didn't know what Zhang Zi Kong meant by that, everyone seemed to be afraid of encountering that monster again. As a result, after leaving two mineshaft to keep an eye on the left and the water in front of them, the rest of them still subconsciously aimed their mineshaft towards the right bank.
Towards Zhang Zikong's words, I felt very puzzled. Ever since I fell into this underground river, he's been giving me a strange feeling.
At first he said there should be an exit for us up the river, and then he said the same thing was true with Xu Man and the others. During the previous dark journey, the moment that person opened his mouth to speak, Zhang Zi Kong seemed to know that something was about to happen. And now, even more so, we're going to see something unexpected on the right bank. Had he not been here before?
He remembered that Zhang Shimin had said that after Zhang Zikong's father went missing, Zhang Zikong had searched every corner of the kingdom to find his own father. He had even dug countless tombs. Could it be that this was one of the tombs he went into?
But if he had come to this place, why did he spend so much time looking for us in the Japanese underworld at the beginning? Furthermore, when he saw the floating coffins, he only said that there should be an exit on the upper reaches of the river. Wasn't this "should" proof that he had never been here before?
Logically speaking, if he had come here before, there shouldn't be any reason for him to hide it from me, but …
At this point, my mind was in a mess.
Zhang Shimin's older brother, the eldest young master of the Zhang family, had always given people a mysterious look. From the beginning to the end, there wasn't a single thing that I could figure out. But in the end, reality proved that everything he did was correct!
Sigh, forget it. Since he is unwilling to say it, then I will not ask too much. After all, he has his own reasons for everything that he has done.
With that in mind, I calmed down and curiously looked towards the right bank.
Along the way, the right side of the stone wall was very smooth, as if it had been artificially polished.
Could it be that this underground river was built by the ancient people? Only during the dry season would there be places where people could rest.
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, the land in front of him seemed to have been exposed. Moreover, there seemed to be someone staying on the land, and some burnt wood shavings were piled up, as if someone had raised a bonfire on it.
Wait! A bonfire!? Could it be that place, the place where we stayed before?
Thinking of this, my heart was instantly shocked!
Xu Man seemed to have the same thought as me. When he saw those wooden splinters, his face immediately revealed a shocked expression. He didn't say anything further and just paddled towards that land!
Sure enough, this piece of land on the surface of the water is where we stayed previously. And on top of it, there are still the two bags of soaked smoke that I and Dazhi left behind!
How could this be? We drifted along the current for more than an hour, how did we get back to where we started? Logically speaking, the water was flowing towards the area where the ground was at a lower level. How could there be water flowing back to the same place? If this underground river was originally a circle, then what force was causing it to flow? Furthermore, how did Zhang Zi Kong know that we would return here?
After a series of questions, I feel like my brain isn't enough anymore!
At this time, it could be seen that other than Zhang Zikong, everyone else's faces were filled with doubt and disbelief.
However, when we approached the land, the two rows of fresh footprints on the ground once again aroused the suspicion of the crowd!
"Fuck, could it be that other than us, there are other people here? Furthermore, from these two rows of footprints, there seems to be one female! "
Hearing that person's words, the person beside him immediately turned pale. He could clearly see that the person beside him was trembling, "Could … could it be … could it be the woman from before? The one in the two coffins?"
When those words were said, I felt my back go numb! It was a good thing that Zhang Zikong had mentioned that Dong Hai and Dong Wan'er had arrived at Stoneplate Mountain. Furthermore, Xu Man had immediately rejected that person's suggestion.
"Don't talk nonsense! Although the women in those coffins died from the poison, they have been dead for at least a thousand years. Even if they had any grievances, they would have been dispelled long ago. "
Indeed, I've looked up methods for making poisons online. Those women are just tools for making toxins. If it was too long ago, the resentment on his body would be discharged along with the insect eggs, and there wouldn't be a situation where he was faking his corpse.
"Boss, how do you know that those women died from hatred and not from childbirth?"
"Exactly! How do you know that their grievances have already been resolved? "
After hearing this, Big Board and I couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
How the f * ck does this have the appearance of a big brother, this little brother can talk back at any time! From the looks of it, this Xu Man wasn't doing very well either.
Seeing how I was smiling, Xu Man blushed a little and let us all get back on shore for a rest.
Once we were ashore, Xu Man said that he had some matters to discuss with Zhang Zikong, so he sent me and Dazhou to the side. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he could clearly see that Zhang Zikong's expression had become somewhat ugly.
Could it be that he was using me to make a deal with the big board, and had Zhang Zi Kong bring them to look for the entrance to the tomb?
However, the moment this thought popped out, I immediately rejected it.
Who was Zhang Zi Kong? Would he be threatened? If Xu Man dares to use me and my father as a condition to threaten him, I can guarantee that by then, Xu Man won't even know how he died!
They only chatted for a few minutes before Xu Man walked towards us with a smile.
I asked Zhang Zi Kong what Xu Man wanted to talk to him about, but all he said was, "There are some matters that involve too much, it's better that you know less. Go back and have a good time with my sister.
Who the hell would want to get involved in all this? If I hadn't been fooled by that Zheng Hai for no reason, even if I were to go home and farm, I wouldn't be this worried all day!
When I thought of Zheng Hai, I recalled what Zheng Hai said to me during the interview. Did he know that Liu Jie was up to something at the construction site? That purple sky had investigated Liu Jie's relationship with Dong Hai, would he know about Zheng Hai's involvement in this matter?
However, before I could ask him about it, he suddenly frowned and said to the person behind him with a stern expression, "Something is coming! All of you, crawl on the ground and don't move! No matter what you see later, don't make a sound! Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes! "
Just as Zhang Zikong said this, I felt a cold current invade my body. Even the wooden cow that didn't react when it saw that strange snake actually started to heat up again!
Seeing that, I immediately followed what Zhang Zi Kong said and crawled on the ground.
Just as I climbed onto the ground, a coffin floated into our sight along with the water flow. Within the coffin stood a white-clothed woman!
