Entertaining Tomb Raider: Play Porky Bottle, Teammate Yang Mi

Several people followed Su Mu and headed towards Huo Zhongshu's home.

Just as they were about to arrive, they saw an old shop on the side of the street.

The name of the shop reads - Central Hotel.

And on the window of this restaurant, there are many sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"Zhongshu Hotel? This name shouldn't be a coincidence. It should have something to do with Huo Zhongshu, right?" Yang Mi guessed.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Su Mu said this and stepped into the restaurant.

The restaurant is simply decorated in a square house with a few simple tables and chairs.

It can be seen that this restaurant has been open for some years.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?"

At this moment, an old voice sounded from inside.

Then, an old lady with unsteady steps came out from inside.

The old lady had a head full of silver hair and a hunched body, and looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old.

Seeing this, Yang Mi stepped forward and said to the old lady.

"Hello, grandma. We are not here to eat."

"I came to ask you about someone."

The old lady had a kind face and nodded after hearing what Yang Mi said.

"Okay, tell me who you want to find out about."

"I've lived on this street all my life, and I know most of the people and things on it."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's face lit up with joy and she turned to look at Su Mu.

After Su Mu nodded, Yang Mi continued to ask the old lady.

"Grandma, do you know Huo Zhongshu?"

The moment Yang Mi asked this question, the old lady's body trembled violently.

Then, he looked at Yang Mi with disbelief.

Said in a trembling voice.

"Girl, who did you just say?"

Through the old lady's reaction, Su Mu had already guessed something.

This person must have a very close relationship with Huo Zhongshu.

Others had the same idea at the moment.

"Could this person be Huo Zhongshu's sister or something like that?" Wu Jing whispered.

Yang Mi also felt something at this moment.

He took a step forward and held the old lady's hand.

"Grandma, don't get excited and take care of yourself."

"What I'm asking is, Huo Zhongshu! Do you know Huo Zhongshu?"

The old lady took Yang Mi's hand back.

"Who are you all? Why are you looking for the Central? Is there any news about the Central?"

"Grandma, we didn't know Huo Zhongshu before. We were just investigating the genius class back then because of some things."

"I found the name and address of Huo Zhongshu, so I came here to investigate his affairs."

"If you know any information about him, could you please tell us?"

Yang Mi's gentle voice and attitude soothed the old lady's emotions to a certain extent.

She nodded.

"Okay... okay, after so many years, I rarely have the opportunity to talk about the Central with others."

"Now that you are here today, I will have a good talk with you."

"Everyone, please find a place to sit down."

"I'll get you a glass of water."

The lady poured water for everyone carefully and slowly.

Reba and Zhao Jinmai hurried over and took the kettle from her.

"Grandma, let us do it ourselves. Please sit down first."

After helping the old lady sit down, everyone brought stools and sat opposite her, listening to her slowly tell the story.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was also infected by the old lady's instant reaction.

"Oh my god, the way grandma's face changed instantly shocked me. Even the best actors can't act out this feeling!"

"Yeah, unless you've experienced it yourself, you feel like this grandma's experience is very unusual."

"I'm so curious about the relationship between this grandma and Huo Zhongshu."

"I would venture to guess that she is either a sister or a former lover."

"The person above, you know how to guess. You have basically guessed all the possibilities! [dog head] [dog head]"

"I was ready to hear the story, but because I knew the ending in advance, the underlying tone of the story was tragic."

"Yes, I already want to cry, especially when I see the wrinkles on grandma's face, which are all traces of time."

"Grandma was so excited when she heard Huo Zhongshu's name. Could it be that she has been waiting for him all these years?"

"The prophet upstairs took the first step."

"Su Mu and the others are so nice too. Da Mi Mi speaks so gently, and everyone helps grandma pour water. Although the story is destined to be a tragedy, it still warms my heart to see them being so kind."

……

The old lady began to tell the story slowly.

As most people guessed, she and Huo Zhongshu had been neighbors since childhood and were childhood sweethearts.

The age of eighteen or nineteen is when love begins to blossom.

The two people fell in love with each other and promised to be together for the rest of their lives.

Huo Zhongshu has been smart and talented since he was a child.

As expected, he was admitted to the gifted class.

I originally thought that he would have a bright future.

Graduate from college, find a good job, and then get married.

But one day, Huo Zhongshu suddenly disappeared.

Disappearing along with it was the entire genius class.

The old lady just kept waiting, thinking that Huo Zhongshu might have just gone out temporarily for study or inspection.

I'll be back one day.

Several years passed in this wait.

Later, Huo Zhongshu's mother fell ill.

Then something very strange happened.

All the relatives and friends who went to visit her died tragically after returning home.

Over time, everyone said that their family was unlucky and weird.

No one dared to come to the door.

Huo Zhongshu's mother died of illness alone at home.

Since then, no one has heard of Huo Zhongshu or the entire genius class.

When the old lady said this, her face was already in tears.

"Everyone told me that Huo Zhongshu would not come back, but I didn't believe it!"

"We agreed at the beginning that we would live together for the rest of our lives."

"The Central Commander is a man who keeps his promises. I believe in him. He will never break his promise."

"Even if he has changed his mind and has found a better choice and doesn't want me anymore, I will wait for him to come back and tell me in person."

"But this wait is a lifetime!"

As the old lady spoke, she set her eyes on the sugar-roasted chestnuts in the window.

There is endless tenderness in his eyes.

She raised her hand slightly and pointed at the sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"Sugar-roasted chestnuts, this was Zhongshu's favorite food before."

"After he disappeared, I was here and opened this store."

"At first it was just a small shop, and the only thing it sold was sugar-roasted chestnuts."

"After a long time, it slowly became a restaurant."

"But no matter what time it is, the sugar-roasted chestnuts have never stopped." (End of this chapter)
