Wang Ming seemed to be slightly embarrassed, as he said that he would stay at home for a few days after this mission, and that the money would be transferred to his account.
I took a deep breath and said, "It hasn't even been a day since I returned. How about you go alone? I'll wait for you here. I don't need the money."
Wang Ming seemed to be very happy. Just as he was about to speak, his mother came out and said that if there was anything, she would go and do it first. When she had time, she would come back.
But my mother's face was clearly unhappy.
Wang Ming laughed and said: "Auntie, it's fine, I'll talk to them over there. They can continue dragging this on for a few days, there's no need to rush."
I stayed at home for a few more days, but Wang Ming would tell me about the mission everyday, making me a little embarrassed. He told Wang Ming to depart tomorrow, since it wasn't too far away from here, I would be there in an hour.
When they were about to leave, Wang Ming stammered out: "Actually, the place that we are going is the grave that your father went to previously. We want to catch a snake to study it.
I slammed the car door and said loudly, "Scram! So you've been lying to me. You knew that my father had been there. Now that you've called me there, are you relieved that we both died there?"
Wang Ming said that the profit this time was still very high. Initially, he didn't know how complicated the situation was and thought that they were closer to your home.
In fact, I really wanted to find out how my father died, but I have never had the courage, and this is an opportunity.
After thinking about it for a while, I still promised Wang Ming that I would.
Wang Ming nodded and said: Okay, then tell me what you need to prepare, why don't we go and take a look first?
I immediately got in the car and told Wang Ming the exact address. Wang Ming drove very fast, and in less than an hour, we reached the foot of the mountain.
With vague memories, I found the tomb. There were already a lot of tall grass on the tomb. There were also less snakes nearby, but there were still a dozen of them. They were much bigger than when I came here before.
Wang Ming walked in front of the grave, squatted down and looked at it carefully: "These snakes are really special, I can't tell what kind they are, and all of them are highly toxic."
After observing the surroundings for a while, Wang Ming said that the place was good, it should be good Feng Shui.
I don't want to hear any of this, I just want to know what the hell I'm going to do, and I want to find out why my dad died.
Wang Ming said that he could not think of a way for the time being. Unless he could catch all the snakes in one go and bring them back, with how big they were, it was impossible for the two of them to catch them at the same time.
I looked around and felt that this place wasn't that familiar anymore. It seemed that the terrain had changed, or rather, someone had moved the soil here, causing the environment here to change a little.
Before I came here, I remembered that this tomb should be on the high ground, but now that I found this tomb, it felt like it was collapsing.
I told Wang Ming about how I looked before. Wang Ming said that this shouldn't have any effect, the soil on this mountain is relatively loose and it is normal for it to cave in occasionally.
What Wang Ming meant was to try and catch these snakes. If there was any danger, then run, he would get someone to send him something good. They were all clothes made of metal, and snakes could not bite through.
However, I still had some doubts in my heart. Just what was he trying to do? Why was he in such a hurry? Or could it be that Wang Ming's goal was actually here?
Wang Ming brought me to find a random hotel to stay at first, then he called for people to bring the equipment over.
The next afternoon, those things came over. They were all new, high-tech things that I had never seen before.
Wang Ming said that these snakes are very strange and cannot be killed. Even if there is some kind of curse, if we go catch these snakes, there will be danger, if we were to suddenly die like my father, it wouldn't be worth it, we can only slowly probe.
I took a deep breath and put the gear on top of the car. When we reached the top of the hill, I put the gear on and they went to the front of the grave.
The clothes didn't reveal anything from head to toe, but its ventilation was very good. It was a bit inconvenient to move around, requiring a bit of strength. Its movements weren't very coherent, just like a robot.
Wang Ming grabbed a snake and looked at it in his hand. All the snakes charged towards Wang Ming and coiled around his body, continuously spraying poison on it, but Wang Ming did not care, he was still studying the snake in his hand and also wanted me to catch a few of them.
However, when I saw that Wang Ming's clothes were slowly melting and there were small holes in them one by one, I panicked and immediately got Wang Ming to put down the snake and start running with him.
The snakes did not chase us all the way down the mountain. Wang Ming's clothes were already riddled with holes, and when Wang Ming saw it, he took off his clothes and threw them on the ground, gasping for air.
"This venom is so corrosive, I really did not expect it to be this corrosive." After resting for a while, Wang Ming started talking to himself and started smoking on the carriage.
I asked Wang Ming who wanted these snakes.
Wang Ming told me that he is a person who studies ancient tombs, saying that it is useful for mechanisms and things like that. They steal tombs all year round, and are very interested in these things that are around tombs.
I didn't say anything as I leaned on the car, thinking about what to do next. Wang Ming said after a while: "If I knew how your father dealt with these snakes back then, it would have been much easier."
This is almost impossible. At that time, no one should have known about this. My father didn't even tell my mother, so it was even more impossible for others to know.
Wang Ming picked up the phone and called her. He immediately told her that the mission this time was a bit more difficult, either to increase the money or to complete it himself.
The other side seemed to want Wang Ming to give up for now, for now, saying that he had given his enough money.
Wang Ming immediately hung up, telling me to return to Beijing with him first, and come find me when there's a mission, let's leave this for now.
I was stunned for a moment before I replied, "What do you mean by that? My interest has just risen and I'm not going to continue doing this?"
Wang Ming shook his head and said: "I won't do things where I don't have money and I'm risking my life. Let's go back."
I got off the car and scolded Wang Ming loudly, but he didn't even turn his head and just drove off. I was alone in the mountain and I wanted to go take a look, but after seeing the scene just now, I decided to give up.
This time, I did not meet Beijing, but went home.
My mom asked me what was going on, and I said that I had settled the matter. Wang Ming will be going back first, and I will be going back in a few days.
I've been thinking about how to get those snakes at home. Now that I have the chance to uncover what happened that year, I won't give up.
After staying at home for three days, I still couldn't do anything about it. During these three days, I had been rummaging through some notes that my father had left behind. There were many methods recorded on them as well as various snake habits.
Of course, this was all done behind my mother's back.
Just as I was studying the notes, the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Wang Ming calling, saying that the business had added some money and wanted to go over to do it again so that I could wait for him at home.
This turn of events was really unexpected, but in my heart, I was still very happy. I was only at the level of a half-step, and it was still better if I had Wang Ming's help.
Wang Ming came on the second day. This time, he brought a small truck here with a few people and a lot of things on it.
I took a look at them. They were all firemen's clothes for protection against burns, and long iron rods, made of rope and used for catching snakes.
There were also some vats, but I didn't know what was in them. There were also several sets of clothes like the one he had brought with him last time.
I asked Wang Ming what these things were used for. He told me that he was going to use some violent methods to catch those snakes, and even wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop. He couldn't leave any future troubles.
"Wang Ming, are you not afraid of death anymore? You clearly know that place is not simple, yet you actually dare to do this? " I looked at Wang Ming in astonishment, I had never seen his face, it was as though he had become a completely different person.
Wang Ming smiled sinisterly, came close to me and said: "Don't tell me you don't want to know how your father died? Furthermore, if there is any gold or silver treasure below, we will be rich. "Then tell me what to do now!"
After I finished speaking, I couldn't figure it out. I wanted to figure out the cause of my father's death, but I didn't want to destroy that place. I couldn't bear to see Wang Ming's current expression.
After thinking about it for a while, I agreed to Wang Ming's idea. At that time, it would be unknown what would happen, but now that I have made such a good plan, it might not be effective at that time, just like what I did back then.
Wang Ming brought the equipment over for me to wear. After burning it with a lighter for a while, he said: "Look, this thing's fireproof is so good!"
Then he poured a little sulfuric acid on it to show me how it worked. Even sulfuric acid couldn't leave a mark on the cloth.
He said that he would just rest for the night, and that he would go there tomorrow. As long as this single transaction was over, he would not be working this year, and would talk about it after the new year.
The next day, I followed Wang Ming and the others to the tomb.
The people that Wang Ming brought began to pour oil all around the tomb, sprinkling it with yellow, and even pulled all of the surrounding grass out, forming a circle with the stones.
I really don't understand what Wang Ming is doing, this thing can only be used to capture and live. If it was burned to death, then it could only be eaten.
Wang Ming told me to wait a while, then I would understand.
After finishing everything, everyone retreated to the back. Wang Ming took out a lighter, and said to me: "Watch carefully, in a bit, try to catch a snake quickly. One for each of us.
