Fatty and Jiang Yu were no longer idle and immediately came to help.
Although they had no physical strength, driven by the desire to survive, everyone still removed the bluestone bricks as quickly as possible.
Just to hide it from others, the entrance was sealed again.
Another dark tomb passage appeared in front of them, but unfortunately their flashlight had completed its mission and had no power left.
"Let's hold hands and don't get separated again." Lin Ran couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the tomb passage in front of him.
"Well, follow me." Jiang Hao said resolutely.
Without a flashlight, walking at the front of the mausoleum where you can't even see your fingers, as long as there is danger, it can be said that you will die.
But now we can only trust each other!
Lin Ran was arranged to walk at the end of the team. Jiang Hao also laughed at himself: "If only one of us can survive, I hope you can help us seek justice."
"It'll be okay." Lin Ran comforted.
But I feel quite warm in my heart. Although we have known each other for a short time, as the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed!
...
In Shuyin Village at this time.
Director Zhang was furious when he heard about Lin Ran's disappearance from the tomb.
"The expert from the capital is dead! How do you want me to explain to Director Tang!"
Tang Lanxuan's status in the capital is not ordinary. If he is held accountable, as the person in charge, he will also be dragged into the water.
Xu Yuchen lowered his head, looking grief-stricken.
"Archaeology is inherently dangerous. The environment on the mountain is complex and changeable, and the tomb is even more dangerous! I have advised you many times that you are not allowed to go to the tomb without complete procedures, but..."
"Shut up!" Director Zhang said angrily, "I asked you to be responsible for watching, and you just watch like this?"
He was not worried about Lin Ran's safety, but worried that he had offended Tang Lanxuan.
Xu Yuchen was scolded so badly that he did not dare to say a word.
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open.
A middle-aged man with a thin face walked in, looking like a stunted orangutan.
Behind him were two young staff members, looking proud.
"Director Ren, you are here! You see, I am criticizing your employees. I knew that Researcher Lin was missing, but I did not go to rescue him!"
The person known as Curator Ren sat down calmly, regardless of Zhang Ju's attitude.
"Director Ren, if the capital investigates the case, you will be involved. What are you going to do?" Seeing his attitude, Director Zhang became a little angry.
"Hey, Director Zhang, why are you so fierce?" Director Ren smiled and said, "Isn't Tang Lanxuan more responsible for this matter than us?"
After hearing this, his attitude softened slightly.
He turned his back and said: "Tang Lanxuan is the honorary president of the National Archaeological Association. If we really pursue the case, we will never get any funding in the future."
"The premise is that he can still be the president. I'm afraid that after this incident, he won't even want to be the director of the Palace Museum." Director Ren smiled sinisterly.
"Guess who is responsible for such a big thing? We have repeatedly warned you not to go to the grave privately!"
...
"Hold on a little longer." In the darkness, Lin Ran was digging the soil desperately, and the light was right in front of him.
But the people around him had lost their strength and fell to the ground, and no one responded to him.
He could already see the light outside, but Lin Ran also felt very hungry and thirsty. He couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed at the door.
As he lay down, thoughts of family and friends came to his mind.
Jianlong, sister, father and mother...
At this time, he touched a string of red rope on his wrist.
And Yuan Qianyun!
I thought it was just an ordinary archeology, but I didn't expect it would be life-threatening.
Lin Ran thought of the girl telling him that she must come back safely.
I absolutely cannot fall down like this!
Gritting his teeth, Lin Ran climbed up again, used his last strength to desperately grab a piece of soil, and pulled it away.
As the dirt fell to the ground, the sun appeared in front of them.
Fresh air rushes in, mixed with the aroma of earth and trees.
Lin Ran had never thought that the air was so sweet, and he took a big breath of it.
When I walked out, I found him standing on the mountainside.
There is a platform made of granite here, although it is covered with vines.
I saw a river not far away, and the General's Tomb was indeed a beautiful place!
Lin Ran dragged out the unconscious people and let them breathe fresh air while he went to look for anyone nearby who could help him.
He walked a few steps and saw fruit farmers working on the mountain.
The fruit farmers were shocked when they saw Lin Ran coming out of the mountainside.
Lin Ran had no choice but to wave the branches and shout loudly: "Folks, don't be afraid, I'm from the archaeological team."
Although they didn't understand much Mandarin, these simple farmers came over immediately after they were sure that they were not ghosts.
They carried the three people who had fainted back home, gave them water, and invited the village doctor.
After some treatment, several people finally regained their spirits.
"The archaeological team left yesterday, why are you still here?" A villager who seemed to be highly respected stood up and asked.
No one else seemed to understand Mandarin very well.
"We were trapped in an ancient tomb and we just got out." Lin Ran explained. He glanced around and then asked, "Can you get in touch with the outside world here?"
"I have a phone at home. You seem to be in the best spirits. Come with me." The villager pointed at Lin Ran and said, motioning for him to follow him.
On the way, he told Lin Ran that he was the village chief.
The archaeological team had just evacuated yesterday, and Lin Ran couldn't help but ask, "Did they take anything with them when they left?"
This time in the mausoleum, they benefited a lot.
The village chief shook his head and said, "No, they left empty-handed."
"What?" Lin Ran stopped. He suddenly realized that something was not right.
Originally, he thought it was just Yama Gui who wanted to monopolize the wealth in the tomb.
However, they did not take another tomb passage, that is, they left openly from the previous robbery cave.
There is no way the archaeological team members would just let it go!
The village chief was leading the way, but suddenly found that he was not moving, so he asked out of curiosity: "Do you still want to make a call?"
"No need for the moment." Lin Ran felt something was wrong.
One thing is certain now, there is a traitor in the archaeological team!
Compared to the local archaeological team, he is at a disadvantage.
However, the people in the archaeological team now think that he is dead. This is his biggest advantage!
He asked the village chief: "Will the archaeological team come back?"
"It won't happen for the time being. What's wrong? Our village doesn't support idlers." The village chief thought that Lin Ran didn't want to return to the archaeological team.
Lin Ran shook his head, expressed his gratitude, and then took out some money and handed it to the village chief.
"Village Chief, please keep our matter secret for the time being and do not report it to the archaeological team."
"How can this work?" The village chief looked at Lin Ran in confusion, wondering what happened?
