Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 15 The Strange Story of Xigouzi Village
"Beard! Fatty! Why did you come back!"

Hearing this sentence, the three of them involuntarily tightened their nerves, and shoveled the engineer in their hands to their chests.

Could it be that there are still Huang Pizi who have not died yet, and they have to do it again?Or is everything just an illusion, and now we have to do it all over again?
Where is this yellow skin?It's clearly Itachi!It's still the Itachi of the Uchiha family!Just give them a different god!

When the owner of the voice approached, Xiao Ran could see clearly that it was a woman in her 30s, carrying a shotgun, with short hair and slightly fat, with an excited smile on her face that was blown red by the wind in the mountains, and a little twinkle in her eyes. tears.

Behind her was a young man wearing glasses. When he saw Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, he also enthusiastically called out, "Brother Hu! Brother Wang!"

Hu Bayi and Fatty looked at the woman seriously, and said in unison: "Swallow!"

They rushed up and hugged Yanzi, and Yanzi kept saying "I miss you so much", which made this long-lost reunion full of strong New Year flavor.

Suddenly the fat man jumped out from the three-person group, looked at Yanzi carefully, and then reached out to touch his buttocks.

But seeing the shotgun in Yanzi's hand, he hesitated for a moment, turned his target to the man wearing glasses behind him, and slapped his ass.

Swallow suddenly laughed and bent over, saying: "Oh, fat man, it's been so many years since I've seen you, why are you still doing this? We are human beings, not yuanpizi!"

A few people laughed enough before remembering to introduce to both sides.The person wearing glasses was the accountant in the village, while Xiao Ran was described as a city boss who went into the mountains to inspect wood and mountain products. This identity was determined on the way they came.

When asked how Yanzi came to find them, Yanzi said: "Don't mention it, a donkey cart wandered into the village and went straight to Lao Wangtou's house. Lao Wangtou recognized that it was a donkey he sold last month. When I arrived at the donkey in the county seat, I looked at the big cart and hurriedly took it to the branch secretary’s house. There was a wallet in the cart, and there was a fat man’s ID card in it. We thought it was Xiaopang who came back to see us, and we were worried that he was Didn't fall into the ditch halfway, and then the soldiers split up several ways to look for it, so I ran into it! Unexpectedly, the beard is back!"

A group of people laughed and walked towards Ganggang Yingzi. Needless to say, the others were happy, but Xiao Ran watched the accountant laugh all the time, so scared that the accountant hid all the way away, thinking that he was the legendary "Rabbit Master" in the capital.

Of course he didn't know that Xiao Ran was happy seeing him only because he appeared according to the normal plot line.

After entering the village, it was already daylight, and several groups of people who had gone out to look for the village had come back and waited at the entrance of the village. They saw Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang greeting each other warmly.The rest of the teams also came back one after another. They were all old acquaintances of Hu and Wang when they jumped in the line. Naturally, there was another warm greeting.

"Why are all the women coming out? What about the young men in the village?" Hu Bayi asked the accountant.

Only then did the accountant explain the Niuxinshan earthquake that exposed Empress Dowager Xiao's mausoleum and disturbed the archaeological team, etc. Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang looked at each other, immediately discouraged, and looked at Xiao Ran with disappointment.

Xiao Ran didn't mind at all, and just greeted the villagers warmly.

After a while, father Yanzi also brought his daughter Yanzi to the entrance of the village. When he met Hu Bayi Wang Kaixuan, he couldn't help crying again. He hugged the two of them and said, "You two little bastards, you won't be able to come back for two or three years this time. , are not allowed to leave."

This kind of simple and sincere feelings moved even Xiao Ran.But living for two or three years is really unbearable. In this day and age, the village still doesn’t even have a street lamp, and the villagers who greet them at the entrance of the village are either torches or oil lamps.

It seems that we have to think of a way to improve the lives of the villagers...

Just as Xiao Ran was thinking, the last group of people who were looking for also returned to the village.Hu Bayi had to explain again, falsely claiming that he heard a man and a bear barking on the way, and the three of them climbed a tree to hide, and the donkey cart ran back to the village by itself, thus delaying the time to enter the village.

The three of them tossed with Huang Pizi all night, and decided to go back to Yanzi's house to rest first.As soon as they got on the kang, they started snoring.

In his sleep, those mantras sounded intermittently again, Xiao Ran only felt a warm current surge up in his chest, and then flowed up and down his whole body, his breathing was extremely smooth and comfortable, and he was woken up by a burst of screams when he slept until the evening.

"Old Xiao! Old Xiao! Get up quickly! I'm hungry! Get me something to eat!" It was the voice of Jiugui.

"You old man is sober? If you lose the chain at the critical moment, you still have the face to eat..."

"As for yesterday's thing, the stinky Taoist priest can take care of it, and I don't need to go out. I woke up last night and washed your marrow again, but I was exhausted... I can smell the fragrance!"

Xiao Ran stretched, and Hu Bayi and Fatty beside him woke up slowly, but they were sore all over, not as energetic as Xiao Ran at all.

"Let's go Boss Xiao, we'll take you out for a stroll!" Hu Bayi said.

The three of them swaggered out the door like idlers, and Yanzi chased out from behind: "Come back early! The meal will be ready soon!"

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang took Xiao Ran to visit many old acquaintances when they jumped in the queue, and also went to meet the old party secretary back then.The old man has to be supported when he walks, and he is deaf and blind, but when he speaks, he is full of various quotations, as if he is still living in his toughest age.

Hu Bayi specially introduced Xiao Ran to the old party secretary: "Old party secretary, this is Boss Xiao. He is from the capital and wants to help our gang campers get rich. He is here to investigate the timber products!"

"What natural disasters and man-made disasters? The leaders above are good, we don't have any disasters..."

The fat man was overjoyed, and he also came over and shouted at the branch secretary: "It's not a natural or man-made disaster, it's to help us get rich, let's see what kind of goods there are!"

"Who to subdue? What temptation?"

Xiao Ran suppressed a smile, thinking that the old party secretary's words were at least 20 years ahead of time.Hu Bayi said helplessly: "We brought you a lot of delicious food, and I will send it to you in a while!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged Xiao Ran and left, the old party secretary was still shouting the slogan of firm support behind him.

Ganggang Yingzi is still what Hu Bayi described, with only [-] to [-] families, especially the men, who all go to the mountains to help the archaeological team, and it is not convenient to go door-to-door to visit, and they all leave after a few pleasantries.

Xiao Ran kept his ears up all the way, but there was no sound at all. It seemed that the archaeological team was professional and took away all the old cultural relics in the village.

The tour of the village soon ended, and when I returned to Yanzi's house, the kang table was filled with all kinds of game and a large casserole of boiled white meat.

Father Yanzi and Hu Bayi were chatting, and it was inconvenient for Xiao Ran to interrupt as a guest, so he ate with peace of mind, but he politely refused Father Yanzi's repeated persuasion to drink because of his stomach discomfort.

In case Achilles Jiugui drank too much again, it would be troublesome, and Yerengou still counted on him to contribute.

Hu Bayi and the three were chatting, and the topic naturally turned to the topic of what big tombs were nearby, and Father Yan also mentioned the Savage Ditch in Heifengkou.

Listening to them talking about the tomb, the somewhat satisfied Yi Jiukui suddenly said: "Old Xiao, if you really go to those big tombs that have been filled with yin energy for hundreds of years, don't blame me for not reminding you, the fat man's hand The inner alchemy is a filthy alchemy, take it with you and be careful of accidents..."

"Jihui Pill? What do you mean?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Originally, the inner alchemy gathered the spiritual energy of the five immortals, and it was considered a spiritual thing. But Liu Xian'er, the only one who can subdue demons, withdrew and left, and the spiritual energy of the remaining four immortals was taken over by the resentment , so it has completely become an evil thing. If it goes to a place full of yin, its filth will rise, and it will inevitably attract unclean things. Especially the shovel you used yesterday, it will greatly increase the resentment before it dies, Not a single bit of it is left in the Jifilth Pill."

Thinking of his sudden impulse last night, Xiao Ran himself felt a little puzzled.According to his usual personality, maybe he would not kill Xie Ling, but just left it to those mice and then pulled him down.

But what happened to the idea of ​​"eliminating evil and doing everything"?
"Yeah, what's going on?" Yasujiu's tone was full of jokes.

Xiao Ran ignored him, looked at the fat man, and felt that it was not the time for him to destroy the Ji Hui Pill, so let's talk about it when there is a chance.

"Huzi, why did you drive the car, and why did you go to the barren grave in Xigouzi Village?" Yanzi asked.

"Xigouzi Village? Why haven't I heard of this village?" Hu Bayi said.

The fat man complacently took over the conversation: "Old Hu, you left early, I don't know. There were only a few households from the east who temporarily built a few mud houses to grow some food and vegetables for a living. Later, someone opened The foot shop is for people passing by from south to north to stay and eat. I didn't expect it to become a small village in a year or two. The scale is really similar to our Ganggang Yingzi, with more than 20 households.

"I heard that the first few households who came here secretly worshiped Huixian'er, so Huixian blessed them with good weather, money and food, and their lives have been good. But in the third year, they seemed to have offended Huixian'er somehow. Suddenly people began to die. It is said that when they died, they had black spots all over their bodies and screamed like mice.

"After about half a year, the people in the village died and left, and that Xigouzi village was empty. It took less than three years in total. At that time, many people said that it was miraculous that those who stayed did not leave. You’ve become a big rat, and anyone who says that has accepted Fat Lord’s materialistic education well, that’s because they’ve been plagued by the plague..."

Speaking of people turning into rats, Xiao Ran couldn't help but murmur when he thought of yesterday's mouse king with a strange body and a bit of intelligence.

And the fat man spoke happily, and almost brought out the incident of breaking into the Cang Temple last night, but fortunately, Hu Bayi changed the topic to the savage ditch at Heifengkou in time.

Father Yanzi said: "If you insist on going, I will bring you all the Ao dogs raised in the village in the past few years. I will find a good guide for you tomorrow..."
