Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 447 Geometry of Life

Da Jinya cleared his throat and said to Xiao Ran: "Didn't Liu Er and I send your Mr. Xiao back to your mother's hometown Qigezhuang that day? I asked the old man, what is your son doing? In the end, Mr. Xiao He said that their sons went treasure hunting, but their grandson didn't go, so I didn't have time to go back, so I quickly took Liu Er and went straight to Ganggang Yingzi, asking around all the way, and just in time to catch up with Mr. Hu and Mr. Fatty who were about to set off to find you... …”

At this time, Liu Shengli wiped away his tears, came over and said to Xiao Ran: "No...it was Mr. Jin who heard the uncle say that you were going treasure hunting, and teased the uncle by saying, 'It's such a good thing that my grandson won't go.' How could the uncle understand this?" After nodding his head, Mr. Jin said that he asked me to come here and he didn’t want me to come with him..."

"Hey! You are so loyal. I agreed on the way to introduce you to a sharpie, and then he sold me!" said Big Gold Tooth.

Xiao Ran frowned and wanted to raise his hand to knock Liu Shengli on the forehead, but when he saw his droopy broken hand, he silently put it down and said, "Come when he asks you to come... If something happens to you, how can I talk to your dad over there?" Explain..."

"Manager! You can't die! Wuwu..."

Seeing that Liu Shengli started crying again, the fat man pushed Liu Shengli aside: "Let's play! Brother Xiao is blessed with a great fortune. Let alone death, he can still pick up his hands and feet when he returns to Zhaojing!"

Hu Bayi frowned and shook his head. Xiao Ran asked Hu Bayi: "Brother Hu...then you guys..."

"Hey! We heard from you and my second uncle that you had some private matters to take care of. We were afraid that you didn't have enough manpower, so we made some arrangements for Ganggang Yingzi. We planned to come with you to see if we could help. What? It just so happens that Yingzi is back too, and she was very happy when she heard that she wanted to find you! We followed the tracks all the way, looking for people to inquire, and followed us..."

The fat man talked a lot, and Hu Bayi said disdainfully: "You just make it up, just make it up. What did you tell me? You said that the second uncle and brother Xiao didn't have time before leaving, so I told you alone, Let us finish our work and follow up to help. I deceived the truth for you halfway. It was you who felt that Brother Xiao and the others were going to have a big fight, so you took the idea and roped in Yingzi."

"Then... isn't Yingzi willing? And didn't you say it? The secret technique of Feng Shui, Tian Zi Jue, says that this piece of heaven transforms into nine clouds and hides dragon halo, and the earth produces six armors and hundreds of spirits. It is the hidden god in Bina Valley. The game is a high-level game, wasn't my guess wrong? There must be a big Dou'er, right, brother Xiao? Oh, that's right, the second uncle..."

When Hu Ba heard the fat man mentioning his second uncle, he quickly picked him up by his ears and pulled him aside: "Let brother Xiao rest for a while..."

But he lowered his voice and added: "Don't open any pot and lift it..."

After saying that, his eyes hinted at Xiao Ran's injuries, and the fat man quickly covered his mouth.Judging from Xiao Ran's tragic look, others knew without guessing that the two of them had encountered something big, and it was definitely going to be bad.

Hu Bayi was helpless, the fat man was a scoundrel, and Xiao Ran was speechless.He didn't know how to explain all this, how to tell them that this world was just the contents of a book.

He thought for a while and asked: "How did you get in? Isn't it dangerous up there?"

Just as Hu Bayi was about to speak, the fat man pushed him away and came forward with a smile on his face: "Brother Xiao, you don't know us yet? Who are we? With our skills and our strength..."

In the next few minutes, the fat man boasted that he was extremely brave, and Hu Bayi and others said nothing about it until they entered the wall-painting hall, when he suddenly got stuck in hesitation.

"Say, go on, tell me how you got so confused. There is a bunch of gold and jade artifacts on the left, and a bunch of sweet girls and honey on the right. If someone wasn't unfazed, we would all have to go inside..." Hu Bayi teased.

Xiao Ran remembered what happened to him and his second uncle in the wall painting hall. Hearing Hu Bayi say that there are people who are not deceived, he subconsciously turned to Yingzi.Unexpectedly, Yingzi suddenly blushed, pursed her lips and said, "It's not me... I also..."

Xiao Ran turned his head to Hu Bayi again, but saw that Hu Bayi hesitated to speak.At this time, a somewhat familiar voice sounded lazily in the darkness: "I brought them in."

The voice was cynical and calm, and there seemed to be a hint of laughter, as if what happened in the wall-painted hall was just a piece of cake for him, and it was a little funny.

A person flashed in Xiao Ran's mind, but he saw that the person had already walked out of the darkness, throwing up the black gold dagger and catching it again and again. Apart from the sunglasses, he had that smile that always made people look angry.

The person who came was none other than the blind man.

Da Jinya sighed: "This Master Qi is indeed very skilled and saved our lives. It's just a pity...the treasures in the hands of those zombies..."

This time, even the fat man just snorted in gratitude to the big gold tooth. It seemed that the situation was indeed dangerous at that time, and the black blind man's appearance was indeed timely.But judging from the second half of Da Jinya's sentence, the Black Blind Man's rescue may be accompanied by some kind of destruction. This is indeed his style.

"You... you're here too... Black Blind Man... what are you doing here..."

Xiao Ran's whole body was in unbearable pain, and every word he spoke was very laborious.In a rare move, the black blind man put away his smile - although he only made the corners of his mouth smaller - and walked over and said seriously: "I was entrusted by someone to come and see you. As for them, I picked them up on the way."

"Entrusted by others...look at me...this doesn't sound like what you said..."

At this time, Xiao Ran didn't care what he was here for. Seeing these familiar faces in front of him only deepened his sadness and despair.These people to whom he had given his affection and hope were all just characters in the story, and he had even been reborn thousands of times with his second uncle without even knowing it.

He didn't know what the "NPC" his second uncle was talking about was, but his words reminded him of "someone A" and "someone B" in elementary school textbooks.The people in front of him were just like himself, but they were all named A and B.

But there was still a trace of intolerance in his heart, so he said to the black blind man: "I've seen it... I beg you... a favor... take them... out..."

Just as the black blind man was about to say something, the fat man said first, "Why don't you go out? Brother Xiao, I'm not telling you, but you're just doing it with your hands and feet? The freshness lasts a long time in the winter, so we can still pick it up if we go back to Zhaojing. No matter what happens, my brothers will support you for the rest of your life, don’t you think so?"

Hu Ba nodded, Liu Shengli nodded even more, and although Da Jinya didn't nod, he also smiled in agreement with an embarrassed look on his face.Yingzi said: "Brother Xiao, I will serve you forever, let's live a good life..."

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly: "What's the point of living... and what is life..." After hearing this, several people looked at each other, and the fat man said doubtfully: "What the hell is this fight? It's so frustrating that we, Brother Xiao, have started discussing philosophy. ?Brother Xiao, let me tell you, don’t think too much. The most precious thing for a person is life. Everyone has only one life. This is how a person’s life should be spent..."

Seeing that Fatty was about to memorize a section of "How Steel Was Tempered", Hu Bayi quickly stopped him: "I'm talking about Fatty, Brother Xiao, you are like this and you still drop your book bag? It would be better if you didn't say anything..." "

"Hey! What I want to say is that if you live this life, I will eat whatever is delicious. Don't worry about braised and roasted mutton, Xisi-shabu-shabu mutton, or Lao Mo's Western food. Eat and drink! If you see a sweet girl, let's go and chat. , I don’t care if he succeeds or not! Laugh when you are happy, scold when you are angry, sleep when you are sleepy, cry when you feel uncomfortable. Isn’t that what life is all about?"

"Emotions, sorrows, joys... eating, drinking, men and women... is this life..." Xiao Ran murmured.

Liu Shengli said: "Manager, I have no ability and no big ambitions. You are knowledgeable, civilized and military, and have a family background and ability. Even if I try my best, I can't catch up. I just hope that I can be like you in this life. With a small shop, my own business, and a career like a man, my life will be complete..."

Da Jinya also came up to answer the conversation: "Hey! I agree with Liu Er's statement. Making money is the true meaning of life. To support your family, you should be a household worth 10 yuan, [-] yuan or more. After a busy day, count the Every ticket, even if it is not spent, is the joy of life! Liu Er, communicate with Master Jin more in the future!"

"Career...achievement...money...is this life..." Xiao Ran shook his head.

Hu Bayi walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "In the past, I was just like the fat man. I thought that eating, drinking, having fun, and living a happy life was the real life. But when I went to the battlefield, I saw that people's lives were like Like a spark, it was extinguished in a flash. I suddenly didn’t know the meaning of people spending so much time thinking about how to live. Later, a little soldier died to save the common people who were captured by the enemy, and I began to understand. Sometimes people can't just live for themselves, they have to think about others, whether it's for the country, for relatives, for friends, or for many people you don't know. So now I go to the grave, just to let those who protect our country know The comrades who sacrificed their lives in the country can let their families and descendants live a better life. In this way, I feel very at ease. This is life in my eyes."

"Sacrifice and...dedication...this is life..." Xiao Ran took a long breath, and the pain made him cough.

Yingzi hugged him tightly and said, "Brother Xiao, don't think about those things. I don't understand life. I know your parents are definitely looking forward to your return, and you definitely don't want to make them sad. Also There is...I...let's live a good life, so many people care about you, don't think too much..."

"Haha... loving... and being loved, this is life..." Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Xiao Ran's eyes, "My parents... have done so much for me... my father is still alive, and my mother..."

Everyone sighed slightly, not knowing how to persuade him.Only the black blind man looked around like a fool, and finally locked his eyes on Xiao Ran's direction.

He touched his chin and said slowly: "You don't think your mother is dead, do you? She is still alive, and you don't know?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ran was so shocked that he almost jumped out of Yingzi's arms, which shocked Yingzi.But the severe pain made him cough and fall back again.

"You said...what did you say...my mother..."

"Stop, stop, stop, my brain hurts..." The black blind man stopped him and turned to the others, "If you don't have any objections, can I have a private chat with him?"

The black blind man's tone was friendly, but it didn't sound like a discussion.But when others saw that Xiao Ran suddenly became energetic, they seemed to be grateful for the black blind man's help before, and were very willing to cooperate.

"Fat man, Mr. Jin, let's go and smoke one. Yingzi, Liu'er, you two can come too." Hu Bayi greeted.

Liu Shengli pointed at Xiao Ran: "I...I...the manager..."

The fat man tucked Liu Shengli's head into his armpit and said, "Let's go, Fatty will wean you off and teach you how to be fragrant..."

Yingzi reluctantly put Xiao Ran away before leaving with the others.

"You just said...my mother..."

The black blind man once again raised his hand to stop him and said: "Save your energy, looking at you like this, I guess you know a lot of things, right? Let me add something to you. To make a long story short, your mother Qi Hui is not dead. , hiding in his hometown in Qigezhuang. Your father is also there now, and the Qi family is taking care of him, so don’t worry.

"It was your mother who asked me to come here, but it was your father who reported the news. Although he was unconscious and couldn't speak clearly, your mother found out the reason in a few words, and then she asked me to chase him..."

Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head: "You...you are not...this kind of person...what do you want...want..."

The blind man touched his chin: "You really look down on people, but you really understand me. Blood relationship is a bit interesting..."

"Blood...destiny?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.

The black blind man coughed slightly: "Formal introduction, your mother's surname is Qi, and my surname is also Qi. According to seniority, I am your mother's Zeng... I have forgotten a few Zeng, in short, I am your mother's elder of the same clan, understand. Are you done yet? Call me, ancestor, to listen."

"Old... Ancestor?!" Xiao Ran's eyes and mouth grew into an inverted "pin".

The black blind man grinned and said: "Be good~"
