Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 69 Mysterious Obsidian Ant Power God
The sound of the wind and sand outside howled, and the fat man's shout came from the hole in the roof from far to near.

Hu Bayi and the others quickly picked up the rifles in their hands, thinking that there was danger outside.But Xiao Ran could hear that there was a bit of excitement in that cry.

"Old Hu! Old Hu! There are Gazelles!"

The fat man wore goggles, and the wind and sand rolled in through the hole in the roof.

"I'll kill two sheep for us, and eat something fresh and hot today!"

The fat man was about to go out with his gun, but was stopped by An Liman who came in later.

"No way! The wolves and sheep are blessed by Hu Da. Once you shoot them and run out, they will be buried alive by the black wind and sand! Hu Dahui will be angry..."

It turned out that just now, An Liman was worried about the camel hiding behind the broken wall, so he took his second uncle out to tie the camel.Hu Bayi also asked Fatty and Chu Jian to go out and bring back some food, fuel and sleeping bags.

After the fat man went out, he found five or six gazelles hidden behind a broken wall, so he moved his index finger.

Hearing An Liman's objection, Hu Da was mentioned again, thinking of the white camel that suddenly appeared on the peak just now, the fat man had no choice but to give up: "Forget it, forget it, let's eat jerky! The old man Hu Da can't help it." Eat jerky, right? You can’t imitate Lao Mo, who doesn’t talk as much as you…”

Lao Mo is the nickname given to the second uncle by the fat man, because the second uncle basically doesn't speak these days, An Liman told everyone that he can't understand Chinese, so the fat man called the second uncle Lao Mo without authorization, and everyone gradually got used to it got this name.

After the fat man finished speaking, he took out the dried meat and canned liquor, and ate and drank with everyone around the fire.Hu Bayi continued to carry forward the spirit of the team leader and the instinct of being a soldier, caring about everyone's health one by one.

Xiao Ran noticed that when Hu Bayi was busy coming and going, Shirley Yang's gaze was always on him.It seems that no matter how strong the personal ability is, it is still not as attractive as the natural leadership temperament.

Shirley Yang suddenly turned his head and met Li Ran's gaze, and Li Ran quickly looked away.

Shirley Yang walked up to Xiao Ran with a can of liquor and handed it to him, saying, "Give Lao Mo a drink too..."

Xiao Ran subconsciously said: "He doesn't drink..."

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly realized, why did Shirley Yang ask him to give the second uncle wine?Could it be that she discovered something and was testing him?
Xiao Ran quickly pointed to An Liman, and added: "Aren't they religious? Hu Da won't let you drink..."

Shirley Yang raised her eyebrows lightly, said "Oh" expressionlessly, then turned and sat back by the fire.

Xiao Ran took a peek at the second uncle, and found that the second uncle shook his head slightly at him, and then sighed slightly.

It seems that I am still too immature, the second uncle should understand, Shirley Yang has already tested that the relationship between the two of them is not normal.

But that's okay, anyway, the second uncle must be his own, but I just need to explain later.But there are more urgent things to do right now, otherwise there will be endless troubles tomorrow.

Xiao Ran quickly and silently took the shovel and dug the hole carefully, wanting to bury the bones first, so as not to wait for Hu Bayi and the others to dig the hole and dig out something that shouldn't be dug.

He had just shoveled twice when he felt the tip of the shovel hit something hard.He flicked it twice, and a black stone appeared in front of him.

He looked back, and saw that everyone didn't pay attention to his side, Hu Bayi was telling everyone the story of his time as a soldier, to encourage everyone's morale.

He buried the black stone calmly, moved two steps to the side, picked up the shovel and started digging.

"Brother Xiao, what are you busy with?"

A big thick arm suddenly fell on his shoulder, startling him.It was the fat man who smelled of alcohol and approached drunkenly.

Xiao Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied with a smile: "Dig a pit for this unlucky guy, so that he won't have to sleep with him at night. You said that he traveled all the way to the desert to suffer this crime... ..."

"Oh……"

With a secretive expression on his face, the fat man also picked up the shovel and helped Xiao Ran dig a hole.Xiao Ran was a little bit guilty, he remembered the last time he dug Xue Bodhi, the fat man also had the same expression and tone.

It seems that we have to guard against the fat man tonight, and don't let him poke the basket again.

After burying the bones, Xiao Ran and Fatty returned to the bonfire together, ate, drank and rested with everyone, and sang a few songs under Hu Bayi's call, finally the inside and outside of the cave were filled with happy air again.

In the evening, following An Liman's method, everyone washed their feet with sand, and then got into their sleeping bags to rest.

Half asleep and half awake, he heard Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang whispering, the content was roughly that Shirley Yang was telling Hu Bayi about her life experience and the disappearance of her parents.

He vaguely heard Hu Bayi mention his name, and Shirley Yang said: "The experience is the same... I should be my younger brother..."

Hehe, the family card is worse than the good person card, but do you count yourself as green tea?

Thinking wildly, Xiao Ran finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Xiao Ran was woken up by a loud noise. He rubbed his eyes. It seemed that because of the dry air around him, his eyes were drier than usual when he woke up, and he couldn't focus on things.

When he saw the crowd in front of him clearly, he couldn't help being surprised.

Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo are leading the students to dig the black stone statue in the yellow sand, and the fat man is also helping with his arms. Maybe in his eyes, it can be smashed and sold for money.

Xiao Ran was angry and impatient, and cursed secretly, this careless fat man must have told other people about his digging the hole last night.

They can't afford to mess with the things under the sand, so they can hide as much as they can.

Xiao Ran quickly got up and went over, and grabbed the fat man: "Brother fat, what is this for? We don't know what this thing is, what should we do if it is in danger?"

"Ah? No... I'm just helping..."

Fatty's eyes widened when asked by Li Ran, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Professor Chen pulled Xiao Ran aside with a smile, and said, "Xiao Ran, I asked Comrade Wang Kaixuan to help. I recovered a little energy today, so I got up early to take a look. The structure of the big house where we hide from the wind and sand is in line with the ancient country of the Western Regions." There may be statues or altars and other historic sites, so I tried to dig, but I didn't expect there to be such a big black stone statue, so I asked everyone to dig together..."

Xiao Ran suddenly felt his blood surge, he didn't expect that it was really not the fat man who was worried this time, but this old man!
"You are really old and strong..."

Xiao Ran smiled wryly and praised Professor Chen, his face full of insincere.He still ran to the stone statue and tried to stop everyone from digging.

Hao Aiguo was puzzled, and said to Xiao Ran sullenly: "Comrade Xiao, our trip is to investigate ancient tombs and relics in Western Xinjiang. We have discovered stone statues with archaeological value. Why do you want to hinder our work?"

Xiao Ran wanted to say that there were army ants down there, but he was afraid that these pedants would throw him a "why" backhand, so he had to make up a temporary reason.

"I've seen this statue in my dad's notes. It's called... the Mystical Obsidian Ant Power Statue! It's used to protect the temple. There may be a mechanism underneath! Whoever digs it will know!"

Seeing Xiao Ran talking nonsense in a serious manner, the archaeological researchers laughed.
