Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 368 Strange Photos

For the next week, Xiao Ran, together with Hu Bayi and Fatty, accompanied Yingzi and the branch secretary to wander around Zhaojing City. Xiao Ran also found the seagull camera hidden in the warehouse by his second uncle in time, and went to various places. The beautiful shadow of Yingzi was left beside the famous high walls, compound and mausoleum.And Xiao Ran, as a local aboriginal, also left a lot of stains on the camera, mainly because the fat man's photography skills are too poor.

I have to say that people in this era have not been polluted by scissorhands. Although sometimes the poses for taking pictures are a bit strange, at least they are colorful, especially imitating various heroes and foreign posters.

Yingzi had a great time playing every day. She collected a large bag of various souvenirs, and printed traffic and travel maps of different scenes and stamps accounted for a lot of them.Knowing that there are many friends in her shooting team, Xiao Ran silently prepared several copies of whatever she liked.

In the next few days, Yingzi became more and more reluctant to leave, always feeling that he hadn't played enough, and he didn't want to leave the companions who were born and died together in Yerengou and the underground fortress.

But the party secretary is getting more and more impatient. He continues the old-fashioned and simple style of the old party secretary. He always feels that the affairs of Gang Gang Yingzi are the most important. Corrupt?

So the two finally finalized their return journey and decided to take a day off tomorrow and return to their hometown by train the day after tomorrow.

In the past few days, Xiao Ran put aside everything else and made a special trip to accompany Yingzi and the two, and he was able to visit the capital of this era.That strange feeling surged up again, whenever he visited a certain place, it would trigger his past memories, and the protagonist and perspective of these memories were all the body itself.

He can recall the pictures of many scenic spots more crude and outdated ten or twenty years ago, and he can even recall a stranger he met at that time, who he was with, what he ate, the taste and color of the thing, etc. Wait, it's all very lively.

But what should the world he came to look like?He can describe it, but he can't have the vivid memories of the past, as if his own memories are all history written in books.

This feeling made him panic and annoyed at times, and the guess that he was about to be taken over by the original owner of his body became more and more firm, and it seemed to have greatly affected his emotions.

During the time when he was playing with Yingzi, he felt that his emotions were often out of control, often because of some insignificant frictions, he had conflicts with some passers-by, even the most generous fat man felt that Xiao Ran's reaction was a bit abnormal.Later, Hu Bayi smoothed things over, privately saying that Xiao Ran was trying to be a hero in front of Yingzi, so sometimes his reaction would be exaggerated.

Xiao Ran did not deny this statement, but he knew that this loss of control was not because of Yingzi, even if it was because of the worry that he would be taken away, he could not fully admit it.Because once he just saw a stranger spitting on the ground, he became angry for no reason, even murderous.

This kind of emotional outburst is more like the feeling in the underground fortress when facing the demon who used human skin as a long life coffin. It is a very extreme punishment for evil.

After that time, he began to deliberately control his emotions, at least he didn't want Yingzi's trip to the capital to be shadowed because of him.

The day before Yingzi left, Hu Bayi and Fatty took them to buy special products, while Xiao Ran was in the basement, using the best darkroom to develop photos.

During this period of time, many photos were taken, and several rolls of film were used.Xiao Ran did the washing one by one, seeing the stupid looks of several people in front of the major attractions, especially the fat man's various funny postures implying that he was going backwards, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Until the last part of the photo was developed, he felt that his spine was about to bend.After hanging up the photo paper, he started stretching in the narrow aisle.

With a series of "click" sounds, he skillfully stretched out all the joints and reconnected them.Thanks to the Bone Shrinking Skill, he tidied up the joints of his whole body as easily as ordinary people tidy up their hair.If there is no accident, he will never suffer from lumbar disc herniation in his life, unlike when he was a social animal before, his waist broke at a young age.

Thinking of this, he was in a bad mood again. Although he knew about his job and even his occupational diseases, there was no picture of his previous life in his mind.

Feeling annoyed for a while, he finally sorted it out hastily, got up and looked up just in time to see the last batch of photos that had been put on the air, he couldn't help but froze in place, with his hands raised above his head, like little swans in a ballet.

He walked slowly to the workbench and looked at the photos carefully.In the latest batch of photos developed, besides the photos of Yingzi and others, there are also some photos that look like natural scenery.

But the place they went to the closest to the natural scenery in the past few days, that is, the mountain famous for maple leaves, but because of the wrong season, they went down the mountain hastily and didn't take these photos.

He suddenly remembered that the last photo came from the old film in his second uncle's camera, so these photos should have been taken by his second uncle before, and he developed them all without paying attention.

He looked at these photos carefully, and the scenes in the photos became more and more familiar, until he saw the figures of those people in the last few photos, and he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Why... why are there these photos in Uncle Er's camera?Did he shoot it himself or...

His mind was in a mess, as if some key information was hidden, but his thoughts were as difficult to move as his feet in the mud.

"Manager! Are you down there? Manager?"

Liu Shengli's voice came suddenly, and then the basement door was opened, and a faint light came in.Xiao Ran was so frightened that he quickly picked up his coat and covered the photo.

"Manager? It's really you, I thought I was robbed again..."

Holding a flashlight in one hand and a fire hook in the other, Liu Shengli breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing Xiao Ran's nervous expression, he hurriedly asked: "Manager, are you okay, why are you sweating..."

He winked while talking, probably thinking that Xiao Ran was being coerced by someone, so he clenched the fire hook and hinted wildly.

Xiao Ran wiped the sweat off his forehead and said: "Okay, there's no one here except me. I'm developing photos, and you suddenly opened the door and came in, worrying that I'll expose everything. I'm fine, you go up first .”

Only then did Liu Shengli heave a sigh of relief, and walked up in a "patta pata".

Xiao Ran looked at his watch, it was almost noon, he made an appointment with Lao Hu and others to eat roast duck, it was time to set off.He glanced at the old photos in his second uncle's camera roll with mixed emotions, found a cowhide envelope and stuffed it under the workbench, and hurried out with other photos.

At around twelve o'clock, he arrived at the door of the roast duck restaurant on time, and Hu Bayi and the others arrived just in time, carrying a lot of bags.

A few people found a clean place to sit down, and began to look at the photos while waiting for the food. While watching, they recalled the scene when the photo was taken, and burst into laughter from time to time that made the people around them look sideways.

Except for Xiao Ran, everyone else flipped through stacks of photos.Flipping through the pages, Hu Bayi's smile froze for a moment.He raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Ran, handed over a photo in his hand face down, and said, "Xiao Ran, this photo took too long to take, so don't take it..."

Several other people were concentrating on looking at the photos, and the surrounding noises were relatively loud at meal time, so no one noticed Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran's small movements.Xiao Ran took a look at the photo, was also taken aback for a moment, and quickly glanced at Hu Bayi gratefully, then put the photo away.

I was in a hurry to go out just now, and an old photo was brought out among other photos.The scene in the photo is not only familiar to him, Hu Bayi, Fatty, and even Yingzi can recognize it.

He hurriedly put away the photos and looked at the others nervously.Fortunately, there was only one old photo, and the others were still looking at themselves in the photo happily.

Soon the dishes were on the table, Hu Bayi took the initiative to put away all the photos of everyone, handed them to Xiao Ran and said: "Come on, hurry up and eat first, I'm so hungry this morning. I have to go to the department store again in the afternoon, Brother Xiao, put away the photos, and take out the ones that are too expensive..."

As smart as Hu Bayi, he also understands that the things behind this old photo are a little weird.He didn't want Yingzi to leave any pimples before he left. Xiao Ran knew that after Yingzi left, he had to explain to Hu Bayi.

But who will explain this to him?

One day passed in a blink of an eye, and early the next morning, the three of Xiao Ran came to the train station to see off Yingzi and the party secretary. They said some farewell words, and they made an appointment to return to Ganggangyingzi to discuss road repairs.

When he was about to get into the car, Yingzi suddenly said to Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao Ran, you have changed a little when you come back."

Xiao Ran was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "For the better or for the worse?"

Seeing Yingzi smiling and not saying a word, Xiao Ran said: "When you come next time, I promise it will be better than now, and then we will drive to the beach..."

"Then I will definitely come and see Uncle Xiao and Second Uncle again!"

Hearing that Xiao Ran took the initiative to mention the next meeting, Yingzi seemed very pleasantly surprised.The train whizzed away, and it was a very happy time, Xiao Ran, Hu Bayi, and Fatty felt a little lost in their hearts.

On the way back, the three of them didn't speak.When he arrived at the entrance of Baorongzhai, Xiao Ran took the initiative to say: "Brother Hu, Brother Fat, I developed some photos yesterday and found something, please take a look..."

"What? I found that the photo was taken too long? Why don't I just throw it away?" the fat man said.

Hu Bayi patted the fat man on the shoulder and motioned him to get off the car.At the same time, Xiao Ran handed the photo taken from Hu Bayi yesterday to Fatty, then turned and walked towards the shop.

The fat man took the photo suspiciously and looked at it carefully. It was a photo in the woods. In it, three men and a woman were chatting and eating around a bonfire. There were also several dogs wandering around in the photo.

Fatty looked more and more surprised. This photo was clearly the image of them and Yingzi in Yerengou forest.
