Chapter 310 Looking at each other
"Protect it?" Chu Tian sneered, "Do you think we will believe this nonsense?"
"It's true... It's true..." Li Fei's voice trembled, "The treasure here... is cursed..."
Chu Tian and Zhao Da were stunned.
"Curse?" Chu Tian asked doubtfully.
Li Fei nodded, "Yes... Anyone who gets the treasure... will... will..."
"What does it mean?" Zhao Da asked.
Li Fei took a deep breath and said, "They will all die!"
The tomb was silent, with only the heavy breathing of three people.
Chu Tian and Zhao Da looked at each other, not knowing whether they should believe Li Fei's words.
"Look..." Li Fei pointed at the sarcophagus and said, "The pattern on the sarcophagus... is... is the symbol of the curse..."
Chu Tian and Zhao Da looked at the sarcophagus and saw some strange patterns carved on it, which did look a bit weird.
"What...what does this mean?" Zhao Da asked.
Li Fei shook his head, "I don't know... I only know... Anyone who has touched the treasure... will... will..."
"They will all die!" Chu Tian continued.
Li Fei nodded, his eyes filled with fear.
"Then why do you come here?" Chu Tian asked.
Li Fei smiled bitterly, "I... I was forced to do so..."
"Forced into helplessness?"
"Yes..." Li Fei said, "I owe...I owe a loan shark..."
"Loan sharking?" Chu Tian and Zhao Da were stunned again.
"Yes..." Li Fei said, "They...they want me...to find the treasure...to pay off the debt..."
"So you lied to us?" Zhao said angrily.
Li Fei lowered his head, "I'm sorry..."
Chu Tian was silent for a moment, then said: "Even if you owed a loan shark, you shouldn't have lied to us and almost killed us!"
"I know... I know..." Li Fei nodded repeatedly, "I... I was wrong..."
"What's the point of saying this now?" Zhao Da said, "We almost died here!"
Li Fei raised his head and looked at Chu Tian and Zhao Da, his eyes full of pleading. "Please...please...let me go..."
Chu Tian and Zhao Da looked at each other again, they didn't know what to do.
Release Li Fei? But he almost killed them.
Kill Li Fei? But his crime was not punishable by death.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the tomb.
"What's going on?" Zhao asked in surprise.
"Oh no! The tomb is going to collapse!" Li Fei shouted.
"Run!" Chu Tian shouted and pulled Zhao Da towards the entrance of the tomb.
Li Fei also ran with them.
Rocks continued to fall from the top of the tomb and the ground began to shake.
They ran all the way and finally reached the door of the tomb.
"Get out!" Chu Tian shouted.
They rushed out of the tomb and the tomb behind them collapsed.
The three of them stood outside the tomb, gasping for breath.
"We...we survived..." Zhao Da said weakly.
Chu Tian nodded, then looked at Li Fei, "You go."
Li Fei was stunned for a moment, "You...you're not going to kill me?"
Chu Tian shook his head, "I don't want to kill anyone."
Li Fei looked at Chu Tian gratefully, "Thank you... Thank you..."
After saying that, Li Fei turned and left.
Chu Tian and Zhao Da looked at Li Fei's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.
They didn't know whether what Li Fei said was true, but they knew that they no longer wanted to go back to that tomb.
They turned and left the cemetery, heading down the mountain.
Shortly after they left, a figure appeared in the cemetery.
This person is the loan shark boss.
He looked at the collapsed tomb with a gloomy face.
"Li Fei...you are a waste! You actually...actually..."
He growled angrily and turned away.
Chu Tian and Zhao Da didn't know that they were escaping not just from a tomb, but from a bigger conspiracy...
After they came down the mountain, they found a small hotel and booked two rooms.
Chu Tian lay on the bed, feeling sore all over.
He still felt a lingering fear when he thought of his experience in the tomb.
"Treasure...Curse..."
He muttered to himself, his mind full of doubts.
Li Fei said that the treasure is cursed, is it true?
If it wasn't true, why did Li Fei lie to them?
If so, what exactly is the treasure?
What is the curse?
These questions troubled Chu Tian and prevented him from sleeping.
He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?" Chu Tian asked.
"It's me." A familiar voice came.
Chu Tian was stunned and quickly got up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was... Li Fei!
"You...why are you here?" Chu Tian asked in surprise.
"Li Fei...why...why are you here?" Chu Tian asked in surprise, alarm bells ringing in his heart. This guy came to his house in the middle of the night, he must have bad intentions.
Li Fei rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly: "Um... Chu Tian... Zhao Da... Can I... Can I... come in and talk?"
Zhao Da walked out of the room and yawned sleepily: "Who is it? In the middle of the night..." Seeing Li Fei, he was also stunned, "You... why are you back again?"
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, but still let Li Fei into the room.
As soon as Li Fei entered the room, he knelt on the ground and cried, "Chu Tian... Zhao Da... I... I really have nowhere else to go... Please... help me..."
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Da asked impatiently.
Li Fei was crying out of breath: "Loan sharks...they...they want to kill me..."
Chu Tian and Zhao Da looked at each other and understood a little. It seemed that what Li Fei said before was not completely a lie.
"What's going on? Tell me slowly." Chu Tian said.
Li Fei choked up and said, "I...I owe them...one million...they...they said...if I can't pay it back...they will...chop off my hands and feet..."
"One million?!" Zhao Da exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Why are you borrowing so much money?"
Li Fei said with a sad face: "My...my mother...she...she is seriously ill...needs...needs a large sum of money...I...I really have no choice...so...I borrowed a loan shark..."
Chu Tian and Zhao Da were silent. Although they were angry at Li Fei's deception, they couldn't bear to see him being forced to death by loan sharks.
"Then why are you coming to us now? Do you want us to help you with something?" Chu Tian asked.
Li Fei raised his head, his eyes full of pleading: "Please...please...help me...help me hide...hide for a few days...wait...wait until I raise the money...I will...leave here..."
Chu Tian and Zhao Da fell silent again. They knew that if they helped Li Fei, they would be dragged into this trouble. However, if they didn't help him, Li Fei would probably die.
"Okay." Chu Tian sighed, "We can help you hide for a few days, but you have to promise not to cause us any trouble."
Li Fei kowtowed with tears of gratitude: "Thank you... Thank you... I promise... I promise..."
In this way, Li Fei lived in Chu Tian and Zhao Da's room.
In the next few days, Li Fei hid in his room and didn't dare to go out, for fear of being discovered by the loan sharks. Chu Tian and Zhao Da took turns to go out to find out if there were any loan sharks nearby.
