Chapter 112
"No, thank you."
Wei Qian ran to the side quickly and stopped getting in the way.
He looks quite honest.
However, Shen Jiao was certain that no matter how honest he was, it would be useless. If they had eaten all the fasting pills and still could not get out, the first person to be used as food would be either her or him.
Maybe she is more likely...
Shen Jiao sadly discovered that no one here liked her. Even Master Feng, who had a good temper, probably disliked her to some extent.
It's really heartbreaking.
Shen Jiao held his chest and felt sad for a moment, then hurried back to work.
No matter how sad I am, I can't stop, otherwise I will die.
Think of this.
Shen Jiao couldn't help but wonder where the person who loved her the most had gone.
Could it be that it has been eaten?
No way, Xue Lang and the others might taste better than them. But Xue Shun, what's the state of his body? Even if he is soaked in a medicine jar every day, I'm afraid it won't be cured. It's all bones, so what's the point of chewing it?
Could it be that he used it as a way to relieve his greasiness?
Wouldn't it be better to choose her?
Shen Jiaoke had eaten a lot of grass, and his whole body smelled like medicine. He must have tasted fragrant and unique.
She was a little distracted.
Xue Shun's nose felt a little itchy, and he sneezed with a "Ahem".
He rubbed it a little uncomfortably, looked at the magnificent main tomb chamber and said, "This fragrance is too strong."
As soon as the door opened, the wind hit my face and I could fall down.
I don't know what spice it is.
Xue Lang had already used his spiritual power to protect his mouth and nose, but it was of no use.
Xue Qi: "Like mermaid oil."
Xue Jiu: "Why did you only light one?"
Xue Shiliu: "Are you so stingy?"
Xue Shiwu: "Where can I buy this? I've been asking around for a long time, but there's nothing good to be found."
"Why did you buy this?" Xue Shiyi asked.
Xue Shiwu replied, "I heard that my fiancée loves scented candles and that she keeps them burning in her room every day, all year round. So I went around looking for some exotic scents and tried to collect twenty-one. When she comes, I'll give them to her. That way, she'll like me."
Xue Shiyi: "Why didn't you tell me about this? I could have helped you find it."
"You? You only have Sixth Brother in your heart. When have you ever cared about me, your younger brother?"
Xue Shiwu gave him a blank look, showing no sign of anger at all.
Xue Qi, Xue Jiu, and Xue Shiliu exchanged glances and laughed together.
Xue Shiyi was annoyed and asked, "Why does it have to be twenty-one? Just take whatever you give."
"That would be so thoughtless. She's turning twenty-one this year. I'm giving her twenty-one spices, twenty-one sets of clothes, twenty-one sets of headgear, twenty-one weapons... and so on and so forth. If I could add up to twenty-one, and count them as her birthday gifts every year, that would be perfect."
Xue Shiwu raised his head and chest out and said this with some pride.
Xue Shiyi was shocked when he heard this: "This is too troublesome."
Xue Shiwu: ...
"No wonder Mother and Auntie didn't find you a wife," he said disdainfully, then went on to find fault, "Sixth Brother, Eleventh Brother follows you around all the time, why don't you teach him a trick or two about how to please a woman? Instead, I'm getting the advantage for nothing."
Xue Shiyi: "Oh~ So it was Sixth Brother who taught you. I said you couldn't come up with such an idea."
Xue Shiwu: "Why can't I think of it? I'm not you, how can I be that stupid?"
As they were talking, they were about to start quarreling, without any sign of worry or fear. They were happily relaxed and comfortable, as if they were on a spring outing, as if it didn't matter whether they lived or died.
Xue Shun still remembers the scene when they reunited just now.
They said - "Hey, you are here."
"See, I told you it wouldn't get lost."
"I'm quite familiar with the way."
"Seventeen isn't lost either."
"This kid is not stupid, that's great."
They were chattering away, as if a few old men who had just had morning tea and were about to go for a walk saw two dogs on the side of the road and couldn't help but go up to play with them.
Xue Lang, with a gloomy face, punched each of them to make them quiet down, but they started making noise again in the blink of an eye.
Xue Shun was never able to get a word in, and this wasn't a good time for small talk. Normally, he would have just stood aside and listened quietly.
But when he caught sight of Xue Lang, Xue Shun no longer dared to remain silent. As if afraid of not being noticed, he took the initiative to step forward and insert himself between Xue Shiyi and Xue Shiwu and asked, "What is mermaid oil? Is it poisonous?"
Xue Shiyi glanced at him, not wanting to pay much attention to him, and said casually, "I don't think so."
Xue Shiwu was happy to give a detailed explanation: "There are two kinds of monsters in the deep sea with human bodies and fish tails. One is the mermaid. They are kind and gentle, with the appearance of women, and are extremely beautiful. They can weave mermaid silk that is not wet when it comes into contact with water and is as light as mist. The tears they cry are like pearls. Eating their meat can prolong life.
The other type has an ugly appearance, green face and fangs, and a vicious temperament, but has an extremely beautiful voice. It can bewitch people and lure people on the ship into danger, and then eat them. Their meat is poisonous and will cause hysteria if eaten, but the roasted oil has a rich and strange fragrance. Just that small lamp can burn for a thousand years without extinguishing. However, you can't smell it for too long, and it is easy to have hallucinations, so it is mostly used in tombs as eternal lamps. It is rare on the market nowadays, and they are almost killed off.
If we can escape, I will take the lamp with me, and no one of you will try to steal it from me."
He said cautiously.
Xue Lang was pretending to be a good guy again: "Fifteen, this might be the tomb of our ancestors."
"What's wrong with the ancestors loving the younger generation? I'll just return it to him after I buy it." Xue Shiwu is somewhat like Xue Shiyi, who will not care about anything once he makes up his mind.
Xue Lang dared to argue with Xue Shiyi, but facing his younger brother, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Several people walked in together and looked around, only to find that the lamp was not the only one in the room.
There were still many gilded candlesticks with strange beasts on them piled up everywhere, but for some reason, the candles were all extinguished even though they were not yet completely burned out.
Xue Shiwu tentatively held the lamp and lit a candle. The candle also exuded the same smell, probably made of mermaid oil.
Xue Shiyi was the most impulsive and urged, "Fifteen, give me some more. It's so dark that I can't see anything clearly."
Xue Lang stopped him, saying, "Don't light them yet. These lamps are piled up in the corners on all sides, as if they were placed there on purpose. I think the rat demon doesn't like light, and if they're lit, it might be attracted here."
"That makes sense."
"But why leave one?"
"Its eyesight is probably not good either, and it can't see clearly without light."
"That's a mouse. You can't see it clearly unless it's bright."
Xue Qi and the others started chattering again.
Xue Shun, the rat breeder, finally got a word in: "Rats, like blind people, rely on smell, hearing, and touch. But they are indeed very afraid of light and don't like to come out when it's bright."
"That's right, that's right."
Someone agreed.
