The Lost Tomb : Sea Of Sands

Chapter 157: The Show Begins

With that said, Gigolo took out some hand cream from the car's glove compartment, and smeared it on his hands. Li Cu found it a little odd. He didn't know whether Gigolo just said it casually, or was being serious, but if he was being serious, why would he let the girl go down? That was plain murder!

"Does your boss know?" Li Cu asked him.

Gigolo bit his lower lip: "Whether he knows or not, this girl has a lot of connections. In theory, she's not so useless, but I think she's been protected too well. Even if she has some skills, she'll die if she underestimates the situation."

Li Cu frowned, wondering what he meant.

Gigolo said that he felt that the girl was better than the group they had used the other day, even if she had no experience. There were too few people available at this time, so they couldn't be too picky, but he could tell that things wouldn't go well just by looking at her hands. "She probably reluctantly agreed in order to protect her companions. Looking at her expression, she should be quite strong. But being strong aboveground is worthless when it comes to going underground. Those who haven't done it can't understand."

"Do those up top do things so hastily?" Li Cu asked, "This is putting a human life at risk, not to mention your own affairs."

Gigolo used his thumbnail to scrape under his other fingernails, carefully looked at the shape of his fingers, and then sighed, "Those up top would never make mistakes. If they chose to do this, it must be the best solution for our current situation. You see them as being hasty, but what I see is that the top is probably too busy dealing with one person."

"Who?"

Gigolo rolled his eyes at Li Cu and said: "What do you care?"

At this time, Li Cu found that Gigolo had several fingers whose nails were very long and strangely trimmed. Seeing Li Cu looking at him, he immediately hid his hand and glared at him with raised eyebrows.

You're the one who masturbates with orchid fingers! Li Cu thought to himself, still a little sore about what had happened before.

After staying silent for a moment, Gigolo continued talking. They had clashed with those grave robbers the other day, which had made an already unnatural situation worse. News traveled fast in this line of work, so they wouldn't be allowed to continue behaving in such a way. If they went to look for local grave robbers for help again and again, they might make a name for themselves and become famous.

Once that happened, it was tantamount to leaving a mark in history. Gigolo slid his finger across his throat, and told Li Cu that such a thing was equivalent to death for them.

Li Cu didn't know what else Wu Xie had done besides slipping him into this family, but it seemed like he had done a lot of things based on the information Gigolo had provided, including practical things that the family didn't expect.

The two stopped talking and looked at the mountain weeds in the distance. After a while, Farmer and Laborer came over and lifted the urn coffin from the back seat. Li Cu wondered if they were going to eat, but he saw them moving the urn coffin towards the mountain.

"The show's starting." Gigolo said to Li Cu. "Do you want to get a closer look?"

Li Cu nodded, but Gigolo ignored him and went straight to the mountain pass while saying, "I won't show it to you. I want you to be mad to death." Then he walked into the grass and disappeared.

Li Cu looked left and right. He was still in the vehicle, and couldn't get out without help, but there was no one around. What the fuck is this?

More outrageous things were still waiting for him.

He waited in the car for four hours, but no one came back, no one paid any attention to him, and no sounds came from the mountain.

The sun was getting higher and higher, the car was getting hotter and hotter, and Li Cu was becoming more and more agitated. He felt a burst of pain in his stomach and shouted a few times that he was going to let it out, but no one paid any attention.

Li Cu's inner demon began to emerge. Even though he had strongly reflected on his reckless behavior before, in this moment, he began to get gloomy and cold again. The more he thought about what Gigolo had said to him, the angrier he became: "Damn, I'm going to be roasted to death in the sun. This isn't a joke."

Li Cu grabbed the seat and climbed to the driver's seat bit by bit. This was a van with a fairly high chassis, but unfortunately, it was a manual transmission. He wasn't worried about saving fuel, only on speeding up. He pulled the seat as far back as it would go, leaned down, jammed the clutch with his plastered leg, started the car, and sat down. He had just put it in first gear when he stepped on the accelerator, and the van rushed off the cement road and down the grass on the mountain depression. The chassis braved the sparks the entire way as it rushed towards the place where they had disappeared before.

With the way he was driving, a degree or two more could flip the van end over end several times, just like a plane encountering turbulence. The van plowed through the weeds like a lawn mower, the rocks sounding like machine gun fire as they hit the chassis. Along the way, he drew several crop circles in the weeds before finding the place where they had piled up their equipment.

No one was beside the equipment, and all he could see was a newly dug grave robbers' tunnel. Li Cu shouted several times at the hole, but nothing happened.

Li Cu really needed to relieve himself. He hadn't gone to the bathroom in the morning, he was suffering from heatstroke after being exposed to the sun for so long, and his stomach was becoming more and more painful. But he couldn't do it without help. He at least needed to build a simple toilet with stones.

His stomach spasms were driving him crazy. He had been tossed aside for four hours without any explanation, and now they were missing without any explanation. Were they really in this hole? Why were they ignoring him?!

Li Cu didn't really understand the danger of grave robbing. He was controlled by his anger at this time, and felt that these people didn't take him seriously. It was the same before, as well. He had tried many times to participate in their conversations, but no one had responded to him.

This was definitely a kind of contempt!

Li Cu was about to shit his pants. For a man of his age, wasn't it a bit much to treat an invalid like this? Was his personality so lowly? Didn't they say they'd all depend on him? Was this how they did it?

In his moment of despair, Li Cu did something he had never expected himself capable of. He stepped on the throttle and pressed the van's front wheel onto the grave robbers' tunnel, firmly blocking it.

"Only after you kneel down and beg will I let you up, bastards!" Li Cu spit, opened the car door, and climbed down head first. He started crawling, trying to find a stone within five minutes at most. He knew very well that if he couldn't do it in five minutes, he would shit his pants.
