Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 363 Xiao Changfeng Lost

Standing at the door of the store, the cold wind blowing made Xiao Ran sober again.Now, except for a slightly faster heartbeat, he has no reaction to being drunk.

After a long 2 minutes, there was no movement at the door, and it didn't look like there was anyone at all.Xiao Ran looked down at the dagger, lost in thought.

Could it be that this knife has always been here, but he didn't find it?Or is it not the knife of the black blind man, but someone else who was bored and stuck the knife under the stone pier at the door?
He knelt down and took a closer look, and it was indeed Hei Xiazi's knife that was correct.Could it really have been here so long ago that he only saw it today?

"Boss Xiao, it seems that I came at the wrong time to disturb your pleasure..."

A familiar voice sounded, and at the same time a hand wearing a black glove reached out and pulled out the dagger.Xiao Ran was taken aback, and quickly stood up, in front of him was a black blind man with a smile on his mouth, no different from before, except for a gray cotton coat.

"What Yaxing, don't make fun of other girls..."

Xiao Ran's words were not entirely blunt, just now he was a little distracted by the alcohol, but now that he is sober, it's unbelievable when he thinks about it carefully.

He and Yingzi, what's going on?

"Oh……"

After everyone had a full meal, Da Jinya began to tell the two about his experience in looking at antiques.Just halfway through the talk, Liu Shengli ran over anxiously, and said to Xiao Ran, "Manager, someone from the street informed that the nursing home is calling, sir... master..."

The black blind man smiled and shook his head, took off the official stone pendant from his neck, waved it in front of Xiao Ran and said, "Are you sure you really want it?"

Now the flower head of Corpse Fragrance Konjac was facing him, like a puppy with its mouth covered in a bridle, somewhat aggrieved.

This sentence made Xiao Ran's eyes wide open, and he instinctively thought of Liu Shengli.But the blind man interrupted his train of thought again, and asked, "Do you have any questions? It's nothing, I'm really leaving."

"What are you fussing about! Go to sleep!"

As soon as the blind man said this, Xiao Ran immediately understood that the blind man had entered his basement privately just now.That's a place that is difficult for ordinary people to find. Except for him, only Liu Shengli and his second uncle know. Could it be that Liu Shengli is a pickpocket...

Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the flower bone of Corpse Fragrant Konjac, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry.Hei Xiazi even used a monkey rubber band to tie up the petals of the corpse-scented konjac.

Every bit of his thoughts seemed to be pre-thought by the blind man, Xiao Ran suddenly felt an instinctive dislike, and felt that the farther away from the blind man the better, unlike being played mind-reading games here at night.

Yingzi greeted her generously, and was busy in the yard. Cooking smoke was wafting in the yard, and a large pot of cooked noodles was already placed on the small table next to her.

Hu Bayi and Fatty passed by hungover, squatting on the steps with red eyes and brushing their teeth, their mouths were full of foam.Seeing Xiao Ran coming in, both of them greeted enthusiastically, muttering indistinctly.

Heixiazi's meaningful sound made Xiao Ran wish to punch him in the face, but it's a pity that he couldn't hit him.

Hei Xiazi's mouth suddenly opened wider, as if he was expecting Xiao Ran to ask this question.But before Li Ran could ask, the black blind man suddenly pointed to the distance behind Li Ran and said, "Anyway, it's not him..."

In the evening, Xiao Ran agreed to be the host himself, and invited a few people to eat hot-boiled mutton, and he also invited Da Jinya.With yesterday's experience, Xiao Ran deliberately told everyone to drink less today.But as soon as he persuaded everyone to drink less, Yingzi looked at him with crooked eyes, which made his face turn red and white before drinking.

Xiao Ran was stunned by his question, could this thing be explosive or poisonous?But Heixiazi still decisively threw the official stone to him, and said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, there are people around you who are not as trustworthy as you think."

If you continue to question, you will be robbing the job of your peers, and it is naturally impossible for Xiao Ran to do something that is taboo.He thought for a while and asked again: "You said the people around me..."

This time, Hei Xiazi's expression finally became somewhat unexpected, Xiao Ran was quite proud.However, the blind man quickly calmed down again, and said, "You can do it, and you know about Qixing Lu Palace? The helper I'm looking for is not available at the moment, and I have to wait for a few years, maybe decades, so I plan to do it first." Something else. I guess you don’t know where that Lu Palace is, you can find someone to figure it out slowly, and when you figure it out, maybe I’ll be back from there long ago.”

It's just that there is a trace of regret in my heart.

As Xiao Ran said, he was about to invite the blind man to the house, but the blind man raised his hand slightly to stop Xiao Ran's movements, took out a wooden box from his arms, and waved it in front of Xiao Ran's eyes.

While Liu Shengli was still having fun at the door, Xiao Ran hurried back to the store and got into the basement.Xu Er still slept soundly, with Faqiu Yin, Tong Ruyi and other items in place, except for a few corpse-scented konjac leaves that fell on the ground, overall there was neither too much nor too little.

"Since you got what you wanted, hurry up and give me mine too..." Xiao Ran said angrily.

For a whole day, Hu Bayi and his group set off from Panjiayuan with Yingzi and party secretary, visited the old palace and the imperial garden, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.Yingzi clamored to go to the zoo to see giant pandas, as well as the old building of the prairie otter. Unfortunately, he was already off work when he arrived at the gate, so he had to arrange it for the next day.

Liu Shengli walked up to him, raised his flashlight and carefully took a picture in front of him, but there was no one in front of him.

Before he finally fell asleep, he couldn't help thinking that if Yingzi stayed, he probably, maybe he hasn't slept yet...

The black blind man let out an "oh", as if Xiao Ran's question disappointed him, and replied: "I changed my mind at the time, and then I have other things to do. It just happened that you are very skilled, and you have similar skills with that place. Some sources, I also have what you want here. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Can you not seize the opportunity when you meet me?"

Xiao Ran was a little embarrassed at first, but seeing that Yingzi was as indifferent as the hostess, the embarrassment of last night was swept away immediately, and he helped to take care of it after washing his hands.

He went back up and locked the door of the basement, and saw that Liu Shengli had already locked the door of the store, and placed an incense burner at the door, lit three sticks of incense, and bowed again and again with his hands clasped together.

"I'll make some marinade, let's eat breakfast first, it'll be ready soon!"

Liu Shengli's face turned pale in an instant, and hurriedly followed Xiao Ran's instructions, stomping his feet and turning around in circles, and kept poohing.There are no ghosts in the world, but Liu Shengli seems to have caught up with ghosts now.

Xiao Ran turned his head and saw Liu Shengli walking back with a flashlight.When Xiao Ran turned around to look at Hei Xiazi again, there was no one in front of him, as if Hei Xiazi had never been here before.

But Heixiazi's next words dispelled his doubts: "My eyesight is not good, but my nose is much smarter than yours, so don't think about it."

Xiao Ran's mind turned around quickly, and he asked the question he had always wanted to know before: "Since you have already found the Tibetan God Bureau, why didn't you just go to the end? With your ability, you can get this by yourself silk book?"

The blind man seemed to answer, but he didn't seem to answer, which is really his usual style.Xiao Ran asked again: "This silk book is probably a map. The destination should be Qixing Lu Palace. Are you planning to go there by yourself?"

When I woke up the next day, it was already high in the sun.He remembered what he said to Yingzi yesterday, jumped up quickly, cleaned up, and ran to Hu Bayi's small courtyard.

It seems that Hei Xiazi really only took away the wooden box containing the silk script...

After the meal was over, Hu Bayi and Fatty also wanted to take the visiting two people around the capital.They went to the big gold tooth, and the jeep was still parked by the side of the road.After exchanging pleasantries, the five of them drove off in the car.

"Brother Xiao Ran! You're here!"

Xiao Ran was a little dazed for a moment, this box looked like the one he brought out from the ice cave after all the hard work.Could it be that this wooden box was mass-produced, and the blind man got one himself?
The black blind man said leisurely: "Boss Xiao really dares to raise anything. The corpse konjac has become a watchdog, thanks to my bad eyesight, otherwise I really got its way..."

After appeasing the corpse-flavored konjac, Xiao Ran also put the official stone on the table.Now Fa Qiuyin's jigsaw puzzle left only the word "Wuji".Looking at the Faqiu seal that was gradually put together, he suddenly had an idea: Can this thing really solve the so-called family curse?
Thinking of the family curse, my father's current state of half insanity and half Alzheimer's is more or less related to this family curse.My father has disappeared for so many years, but found a secluded ice cave to hide. What is the secret behind it?
Although alcohol does not affect IQ and mood at this time, it is still affecting the nerves. When he thinks about these complicated things, his head seems to be poured with cement, so he should sleep first.

The more he spoke, the more anxious he got, Xiao Ran got up and knocked over the stool, and asked, "What uncle? My dad? What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Ran hurriedly untied the rubber band, regardless of whether the Corpse Fragrance Konjac could understand or not, he touched the petals and said, "Why did you provoke him... But you are good at housekeeping, I will get you some ginseng tonic tomorrow."

"Manager, are there any guests at this late hour?"

Xiao Ran believed that Hei Xiazi had this ability, but judging from his words, he might not know the exact location of Qixing Lu Palace.Even if he knew, he would not tell Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran's sudden roar gave Liu Shengli a shock.Xiao Ran returned to the bedroom and threw himself on the bed, thinking about messy things in a daze.

Xiao Ran said with a serious face: "Where is the guest? Damn you? Hurry up and stamp your feet! Turn around three times and say bah bah bah!"

"Come on, let's go into the room and chat. To make a long story short, I don't have any extra beds here, so I won't keep you..."

"Master lost it!" Liu Shengli shouted.

When he said this, Hu Bayi and Fatty also became anxious, and asked Da Jinya to send Yingzi and the branch secretary back, and they planned to go to the nursing home to find someone together.

Yingzi grabbed Xiao Ran's sleeve and said, "Brother Xiao Ran, I'm going too!"

Xiao Ran couldn't help it, so Da Jinya sent the branch secretary back first, and the others hurried to the nursing home by car.
