Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 238

238 Chapter 238 Moving forward
As we walked, Wen Jin stopped in front and waited for us. When the little brother brought me closer, she said softly to him: "There is a fork in the road here, which way to go?"

The little brother knew that this time the road was definitely the right one, so he looked for the marks he had left near the fork.

After listening to his third uncle's words, Wu Xie was confused and shook his head in confusion. He asked: "What do you mean he left behind last time? He has been here? He..." Wu Xie only felt that he My mind was in a mess, and I didn't know what I wanted to ask, so I just stuck it there.

The third uncle touched the symbol carved by the younger brother and said: "Yes, I have seen this mark more than once in this ruins. They are everywhere. I just followed these marks and walked through the rain forest as fast as possible. We arrived at the camp you found. However, I wasn't sure at the time that the mark was left by the little brother. Now that it's confirmed that the handwriting is the same, it's correct. This little brother must have been here before, and it's still a little old. "

Wu Xie also looked at it carefully and said: "I have been reading rubbings for so long, and I am still very confident in identifying handwriting, especially engraved handwriting. I am very sensitive to this. I am sure that this symbol is indeed stuffy oil." It's carved on a bottle. Also, the stone on it won't lie. It was indeed not carved recently. From this, it seems that Menyou Ping had indeed been here before.

Was it what happened before he lost his memory?Could it be that he was also on the expedition team of Wen Jin and Huo Ling?

But that's impossible. He completely lost his memory when he was in Xisha. "

I said to myself, it turns out that brother Wu Xie always thought that his memory after coming out of Xisha only started to recover after going to Lu Palace together. It spanned 20 years. No wonder he couldn't figure out some problems.

After the little brother came out of Xisha, he did have amnesia and forgot everything, but he would remember it, not from the time in Xisha to now.It's just that I forgot it again before, and now there are many people who are looking for it. Who said that my brother's amnesia is different from others, Wu Xie didn't expect it, and it was normal.

I have calculated that my brother and Wen Jin must have collaborated in the past few years. I have deduced that the little brother must have remembered this part, but he neither admitted nor denied it and did not want to tell me. look like.

The third uncle said to him: "I don't know yet, but I told you, this little brother is not simple. Obviously his past is unfathomable, and there is a reason for everything he does. Including those around him That girl is not simple either. Let’s not talk about it for now. I guess as long as we follow this mark, we will know where he finally arrived and maybe find a way out.”

I whispered in my brother's ear: "Brother, how are you doing? Is there any here?"

He looked around with his flashlight and carefully searched for the marks. After being stunned for a while, he shined his flashlight on a relatively hidden place and said softly: "Over there." Then we started to look for the marks while walking.

Wu Xie thought about it, and from a time perspective, it was completely feasible to say that Menyouping had been here. He really knew nothing about Menyouping's past, and there were many unsolved mysteries in his head.

When he was helpless, he found that his third uncle was still looking at the direction where the blind man was going, as if he was afraid of him, so he asked him: "What's wrong?"

The third uncle made a gesture to tell him not to speak. After confirming that the blind man had indeed gone out, he lowered his voice and said to Wu Xie, "I'm really pissed off by you. You really shouldn't come with me this time."

Wu Xie had long known that he was being reckless this time, so no matter what his third uncle said, he would listen obediently and look at him. Even though his third uncle had hit him before, he didn't complain at all.

The third uncle hurriedly said to Wu Xie: "You really don't know how to read Feng Shui. Your third uncle and I are no longer what they used to be. This time, the waiters are all your third uncle. I called them from the road temporarily. These people On the surface, they call me Third Master, but in fact they don’t listen to me at all. They can only provide support and prevent them from betraying them. I am overwhelmed by everyone, and you are not seeking death by following me. "

Although he heard Pan Zi say it before, Wu Xie did not expect that the actual situation would be so serious, and immediately whispered: "I can't help it, you call me..."

Before he finished speaking, the third uncle immediately gave him a wink. When Wu Xie looked back, he saw that the blind man had returned.

The third uncle asked the black blind man: "How is it?"

The black blind man grinned and said: "Come down, I asked them to send the equipment down first. They asked the fat man what to do, or leave the fat man up there and find someone to take care of him? It is unrealistic to take him away." Follow. He looked at Wu Xie and said, "Little Third Master, your face doesn't look very good."

After listening to his third uncle's words, Wu Xie was still a little unable to react and looked a little uncomfortable, but this was not a problem for Wu Xie. He immediately said: "This smell is too unpleasant."

The third uncle thought for a while and said: "We can't stay, we absolutely can't disperse. Tell them all to come down first, and then we can find a place to think about the fat man."

The blind man said: "Yes. Then the mistress comes out to help. This guy is a big part."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "I'll come as soon as I finish talking."

He followed the blind man out.

Wu Xie and his third uncle looked at each other. He saw that his third uncle's expression was very strange. It seemed that his third uncle was really having a hard time. He didn't expect that things would develop like this. He also felt that he had indeed caused trouble to his third uncle. .

But thinking about it, I actually have a good impression of the black glasses, but this person seems to be a bit crazy and doesn't play according to the routine.Xiaoxun is such a well-behaved little girl, but the master is indeed a weirdo. His family and brother feel comfortable letting him teach. This is strange. What can he teach Xiaoxun? It seems that he has the final say in this world. I know too little.

The third uncle continued softly: "Boy, don't argue with me. I really can't take care of you this time. You have to be careful. You stinky boy, I'm really pissed off by you." , if we can go out, I will definitely go to your father and sue you severely."

Wu Xie looked at his third uncle's expression and thought to himself, it's over. This time, his third uncle wasn't joking, so he nodded.

The third uncle continued hastily: "I'll make a long story short. Remember, these people are ruthless people on the ground in Changsha, and only these people dare to attack this kind of lama. This black glasses is a banner man. I don't know his name. There are people on the road. Call him Black Blind Man, he is one group, this person is also the master of Xiaoxun girl. The other group is the person called the mop leader, these people used to be loose thieves and desperadoes, you have to be especially careful with this group People, don’t think of me as my old buddy, and don’t say anything.”

Wu Xie continued to nod in agreement, and his third uncle looked outside.At this time, the blind man yelled a few times, and the third uncle patted Wu Xie and asked him to pay more attention. So Wu Xie stopped talking and went out with the blind man.

While Wu Xie was helping, he was thinking about what his third uncle said. If his third uncle wanted to talk to him, he would have to do it in this way. It seemed that something had happened before, and the group was already on guard. Although the world was his own business. I don’t understand, but I pretend to know nothing. It’s safe and pollution-free. It doesn’t matter. Just wait and see what happens.

The fat man was tied to the "mop" and it was difficult to control the two of them. After being pulled in, the smell of urine on the two of them was so strong that it was almost nauseating.Then, the people above came down one by one.

The man who called the mop was very polite. He cursed a few times in Changsha dialect and nodded and smiled at Wu Xie. The mistress was longer than the mistress.

When Wu Xie listened to him talking, it seemed that he felt very different from the feeling above just now... Looking at these people again, he felt that their expressions were a bit fake. Wu Xie had to pretend that he couldn't hear it at all, but he was already aware of it in his heart. This matter has taken hold.

It was fairly safe along the way, but we were all careful around us. After all, there were probably a lot of snakes here.The further down I went, the colder I felt. Although I was sticking close to my little brother, my little hands and the tip of my nose became colder. Lying on my back was naturally not as warm as curling up in my arms.

We walked for several hours, and Wu Xie was also on his way. It was quiet on both sides of us, and I fell asleep without knowing it.

Dimly, I felt as if I had changed my position and was lying on my side.

Wen Jin said: "No matter what, the fever still hasn't gone down."

The little brother let me rest on his lap and was cleaning my wounds and applying medicine again. He looked at me and sighed worriedly.

Wen Jin said: "There should be places where snakes gather around here. If you want to rest, I'm afraid it's still not safe here."

The little brother nodded and said, "Change the medicine, rest for a while, and then we'll set off."

Four or five hours later, everyone went down to the lower shaft, sorted out their equipment, and found two people to carry the fat man.

After all these arrangements were made, the third uncle patted Wu Xie and gave Wu Xie a short-headed double-barreled tiger head shotgun with a double-barreled flat type.

Wu Xie looked at it, smiled slightly, and thought to himself, isn't this the gun I used to shoot UFOs? It's the same model, just a little lighter. It shoots two shots at a time and uses lead shot.He picked it up, felt it in his hand, made gestures, and thought, this should be the highest-end weapon that Uncle San could get his hands on.

This kind of thing was also used in Qixing Lu Palace before. I bought it from the black market at that time, and it seemed to cost more than 5000.

However, this thing can only act as a hindrance and deterrence when fighting large animals, but it should be quite convenient to fight a cockscomb snake, and it can sweep away a large area at a time.When I thought about it, why didn't Pan Zi bring one? It was really out of date to use a short rifle like his.

Thinking of Pan Zi, he couldn't help but worry again, thinking that he should still be in that temple now, but it would be safer there than here, but if he gets a fever again, I'm afraid it will be really bad. With him here, Third Uncle shouldn't have to worry so much.

Wu Xie told his third uncle about the content of the reliefs he had seen before, and said: "In addition to storing water, these tunnels also have a function, which is to care for those cockscomb snakes. We came all the way from the rainforest and didn't see too many. Cockscomb snakes have only been seen a few times. Obviously, these snakes’ territory is in these tunnels, so we need to be extra careful.”

The third uncle said softly: "These snakes are hard to guard against, so it's useless to be more careful."

Wu Xie looked around and saw that the tunnels were high and low. They looked very similar to those in the Lu Palace. He wondered if the embedded tunnels in the Western Zhou Dynasty at that time were not the imagined tunnels at all, but also drainage shafts. ?
But then I thought, there is sufficient rainfall in Shandong, so there should be no need for such a complicated underground water storage system.Otherwise, if it rains continuously for months, the stored water may flood out, so it should be just a simple similarity here.

When everything was ready, the group of them began to follow the marks left by the little brother and move deeper into the shaft.

At this time, the little brother also carried me on his back again, and we walked all the way. I woke up a few times in the middle of the way, as if we passed several reservoirs, mainly because the reservoirs further in were bigger. The bigger it is, that's why you can feel that there are several reservoirs, and it seems that there are huge dangers hidden around it, because it is too quiet...

I don’t know where we were hiding. I only know that when I woke up, I was stuck in something. There was a smell of mud. I moved slightly, and I felt that this place was dark and narrow, and it seemed that there was only Being able to stay alone inside, the feeling of fear suddenly came up.

At this moment, I heard a familiar voice beside me say to me: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I immediately felt at ease and asked him: "Brother, where are we? What are we doing?"

The boy said: "Rest, this is a crack in the shaft."

I said: "Seat? Is it because this is the safest place for the time being? Aren't you going to rest in this seam today and just poke it like this? Brother, if you stay in this position for a few hours, your waist and legs will become stiff, right? I feel a little sour after meeting..."

I thought to myself, between the two mud walls, people stood upright, sandwiched between the gaps, like slices of meat in hamburgers, sausages in hot dogs... I must be hungry, because all I can think of is food... like this I thought, it seemed like I hadn't eaten for a long time... I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

The little brother reached out and took my hand and said to me: "There is still a small area outside where you can stay. Now that you are awake, come out and have something to eat."

When I heard this, I thought you had heard my thoughts, but since Wen Jin is here, it’s impossible to open a small stove. Just eat whatever you want. This kind of place doesn’t pay attention to delicious food.

He took my hand and led me sideways to squeeze out. The moment I left the two mud walls, I didn't know how long I had been in the same position and lost the support of the wall. My already sore and erect body was shaken. Brother immediately pressed his body against me, and I took a moment to stand still.

At this time, Wen Jin was setting up a small bonfire. When he saw us coming out, he smiled and said, "Wake up, it will look better now."

I muttered, "Do you look good? But I feel so sore." As I said this, I slowly moved my body to relieve my stiffness.

I asked: "Are there many snakes out here?"

The little brother pulled me to the entrance of the cave. I saw that they had temporarily sealed the entrance with something covered in mud. He opened a small crack and let me look out. When I looked over, my eyes suddenly opened up like light bulbs. , everyone became energetic all of a sudden. This scene was really unusual. It can be described as shocking. I couldn’t help but take a breath...

The little brother reached out and covered the cutout area with the piece of mud again, and pulled me to sit by the campfire. I was still stunned by the scene I just saw.

Wen Jin said: "It's very dangerous outside. If you want to sleep, the crack he found is the most reliable, but it's a little uncomfortable."

I nodded in agreement, and the little brother gave me some food and some water. I took it and started eating slowly. He looked at me for a while and then started staring at the fire in a daze.

Wen Jin on the side seemed to be thinking about something too. I looked at Wu Xie's side again and saw that they were already moving.
