Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 29 Preparation
029 Chapter 29Preparation

I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly woke up and saw my little brother resting next to me, which made me feel more relieved.

I've been wandering around for too long, and now I can't bear it anymore. I feel very panicked, and I start to break out in cold sweats. I don't have much energy, my head is very heavy, I'm shaking, and I really want to vomit, but I feel that I can't throw up in the cabin, so I just wander around. Go to the deck.

When I got outside, the sun had already set. The boat was sailing along the coast of an island. There was a pier in front of it, and it looked like it was about to dock.

I heard Wu Xie asking: "Where are we going now."

A person next to him replied, "Let's go to Yongxing Island and pick up some people."

Wu Xie smiled and asked Aning: "Who are you going to pick up?"

She pointed to a vague group of people carrying travel bags on the pier in the distance and said, "That's them, a few divers, and a consultant like you."

Wu Xie took a few hard glances and felt that the figure of one of the fat men was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

I squinted my eyes and looked at it. It was a bit far away and I couldn't see clearly. But suddenly I put my hands on my chest and thought, no, I still want to vomit, but I couldn't vomit out. This vomiting may also need to brew for a while, so I found a side and squatted down. .

At this time, a boatman was already standing on the bow and shouted: "Oh, tired! Get ready, we are here!"

The fat man turned his head and cursed: "Oh, you are so big. Fatty, I have been blowing the northwest wind here for half an hour. Do you still have a sense of time?"

When Wu Xie saw that it was Fatty Wang, he had put on a lot of weight after not seeing each other for a few days, but his skills were still good. He jumped on the boat with the group of people. He had the greatest inertia and ran forward a few times before he stopped. When he saw Wu Xie laughed happily: "Hey! Little comrade! You are here too. It seems that our Miss Aning is quite generous."

I heard this voice, wasn't it the fat man Lu Gong met... I wanted to take a look, but it felt right. I vomited immediately, with tears and runny nose. Fortunately, I had a tissue in my pocket, and I blew it. I blew my nose and wiped it again, otherwise I would be so embarrassed.

At this time, I saw someone handing me a bottle of water. I saw the sleeve and it was the little brother. I took the water, rinsed my mouth, and slowly stood up.

The guy who looked like Bald Zhang said to me in Zhang Bald's voice: "Are you feeling better?" I was really not used to it and always wanted to laugh.

As soon as he finished vomiting, his throat felt uncomfortable, so he nodded directly.

He looked at me and said, "Didn't I say that you have to say it when you feel uncomfortable?"

I coughed and said, "I...I just...I just want you to rest a little longer..."

The little brother glanced at Fatty and the others and ignored them. He took me back to the cabin and said to me as he walked: "Drink some water first."

On the other side, Aning reluctantly smiled at Fatty when he saw him. Wu Xie felt that they were still familiar with each other.

The fat man threw his luggage on the deck and sat across from them. He knocked on his back and said, "I was driven all the way. You guys were too hasty. Oh, by the way, have you found the place?"

Aning shook his head and said: "There is only one last point left. If nothing else, it should be that place."

The fat man said: "I can tell you, Fatty, I don't know how to find dragon caves or locate caves. If you find it, let me know. If you can't find it, don't blame me. I can accept the money." According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, you Southern barbarians must ask about the customs when entering the country."

An Ning sighed with a headache and said, "I know you don't know how. We have already made arrangements. Mr. Wu will be responsible for the specific positioning."

Wu Xie was originally in a relaxed mood, but he was confused when he heard this. He had never even shoveled a shovel, so he hurriedly said: "I am responsible? Don't you know the location of Haidou?"

Aning said: "We can only estimate a rough direction. It would be best if we can find the robbery cave. If we can't find it, we have to rely on you to actually locate and judge the shape of the underground palace. We only have some information in the old paper pile. It's impossible." Instead of Tufuzi’s experience, your third uncle is very shrewd and has not left any of this information to us.”

Wu Xie was sweating all at once, but after thinking about it, he realized that although he had not practiced it, his theoretical experience was still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and his nervousness calmed down a little.I said in my heart, if I really can't do it then, I'll just make a few random remarks and say there's something weird in this underground palace.

The fat man looked at Wu Xie and said, "That's good. We have everything. It's a rare trip to Xisha. Let's have a good meal tonight to build up our strength. This fight is a tough job." After saying that, he ran to find the boss of the ship. Ask him if there is any seafood on the boat.

Aning didn't seem to have much appetite, so he leaned aside and stopped talking.When Wu Xie heard about the seafood, he became greedy and ran over to take a look.

The fat man forced him to drink, and the boat boss was very reluctant, but he still took out a big mackerel from the fishing box, handed it to a waiter and said, "Bring out a fish head pot."

The fat man didn't know what happened just now. He was very unhappy when he saw the boat boss crying and scolded: "It's not like I won't give you money, and it's not like I'm robbing you. Look at how miserable you are."

After a while, when the fish pot was served, the fat man's eyes were filled with greed. Before the pot was steady, he went down with his chopsticks and picked out a piece of fish skin to eat. It was so hot that he shed tears.

The little brother took me to rest in the warehouse for a while. Suddenly he said to me: "Let's go there." I followed him to Wu Xie's place.

Wu Xie saw Zhang Tuzi and his nephew coming up.It seems that this pot of things is quite powerful.

The bald man came over to smell it and said straight away: "Xisha is really good. If you want to cook any fish, we won't be able to eat it in our lifetime."

The fat man pulled him away and cursed: "Flattery is flattery. Don't spit on him. Isn't it disgusting?"

When Zhang Baldy saw that he had never seen the fat man before, he hurriedly went to shake hands with him and said, "Hey, you have a strange face. What do you call this guy?"

The fat man had a straight temper. He looked at him and asked Aning, "Who is this bald man?"

Zhang Baldy's face darkened when he heard this, and he said forcefully: "Please call me Mr. Zhang, or Professor Zhang, please?"

The fat man ignored him. Aning saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly took over the conversation and said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is Professor Zhang, who is also one of our consultants this time. Next to him is his assistant Xiao Zhang. .”

When the fat man heard that he was really a professor, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He shook hands with Baldy Zhang and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I really didn't realize that you are a cultural person. I just have a bad attitude." , surnamed Wang, is a rough guy, don’t take it seriously.” He also shook hands with me and said, “Hello, comrade assistant, hello.”

I shook hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang." Upon hearing this, Zhang Tuzi forced a smile and said, "The educated man and the rough man are both human beings. Aren't all educated people just rough people?" Yes, the division of labor is different, the division of labor is different."

The fat man didn't understand what he was talking about, so he had to laugh with him.

I thought the atmosphere would relax now, and I was about to breathe a sigh of relief. However, the younger brother deliberately asked him again: "What kind of job does Mr. Wang do?"

The fat man was stunned: "Ah, well, to put it in layman's terms, I'm actually an underground worker."

Zhang Tuzi said "Oh!" "It turns out to be a police soldier, disrespectful."

When I heard this, I almost laughed, but I held it in. I had seen this fat guy get angry before. It was too scary and I didn't want to recruit him.I saw that Wu Xie was also holding it in, but he couldn't hold it in. When the fat man saw him laughing, he glared at him fiercely, turned to Zhang Baldy and said, "Don't talk about it yet. Come on, let's take a few bites first." Invite everyone to use their chopsticks.

Wu Xie was too lazy to care about them. He picked up a chopstick and started eating, one bite after another.

The fat man took a few mouthfuls and became very satisfied. He asked for a drink again. Aning glared at him and said, "How could a fisherman bring wine out with him?" The fat man didn't believe it and ran to the cabin to fuss. Laughing and coming out with a jar of wine, the boss of the ship was shocked when he saw it. He said it was drunk by the Dragon King and came over to grab it.

The fat man was furious: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you drink this bad wine, the Dragon King will definitely take away your boat." He took out a bottle of Erguotou from his bag and stuffed it into The boss of the ship: "Here, let's change the mouth for Lord Dragon! This is called the North-South Wine and Culture Exchange. Did you see it? Red Star Erguotou, good stuff, don't you know what's good for it."

The boss of the ship stayed there and didn't know what to do. Anyway, as soon as he agreed, the fat man tore the seal open and poured it in for everyone.

Everyone had one, and they poured me a glass and said to me: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, have a drink."

I said thank you. This fat guy knew a lot about the bar scene, so he said, "Here, let's go."

I thought, it smells like coconut, this seems to be that kind of sweet fruit wine, but how much alcohol does this thing have? As I was thinking, the little brother said: "Silly boy, what are you doing? Come on, come on, let's do it." ." As he spoke, he grabbed my hand and poured the whole bowl into me.After drinking, I was stunned, and he said to himself: "Look at this silly boy, he does everything so slowly." After that, he burst out laughing, and then started eating, as if nothing was wrong. It was so natural. How natural.

Wu Xie said: "This wine is indeed good. It is the famous coconut wine in Limiao Township."

The fat man said, "Come on, come on, eat, eat, drink!"

The sky was getting dark and the moon was above his head. The fat man drank the last sip of wine, burped, slapped his thighs and sat up straight, saying: "Everyone, we have eaten and drank enough, it's time to talk about serious things. "

The fat man’s belly was so bloated from eating that it looked to me like he had a big watermelon on his head. He patted it and said, “This is my first time doing this Kaidou, fat man. I must make arrangements in advance to avoid being blinded when I go in. Sea fighting is no better than dry fighting, I have to see how the equipment is doing first."

Aning said: "Mr. Wang, how sure are you this time? Why don't we make a plan first so that we can have some confidence in our hearts."

The fat man shook his head: "It's hard to say. According to experience, the first is that it is difficult to locate the sea Dou, the second is that it is difficult to dig the hole, and the third is that the situation inside is unknown. The main reason is that thirdly, I don't know if there are any rice dumplings in this Dou. , then it would be troublesome. If not, then this sea bucket is just a dry bucket in the water, and can be easily captured."

Wu Xie said: "I don't know if there are rice dumplings here, but there may be something more troublesome. There are sea monkeys here." Then he told what he saw on the ghost ship.

After Wu Xie finished speaking, the fat man frowned and asked, "Damn! Is there really such a thing?"

Wu Xie nodded and said, "There are legends about this thing in many places, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Aning also nodded and said: "I heard it when I was a child. I thought adults were scaring me not to go to the river to play."

At this time, the boss of the boat intervened and said: "No, no, you don't understand. The fishing boats here have all seen this thing. Let me tell you, this thing is not a sea monkey, it is a yaksha ghost!" Those are all relatives of the Dragon King. If you have offended it now, he will definitely come back to take revenge. I think we should go back to the shore quickly, buy a pig, and ask a Taoist priest to perform rituals. Maybe he has a lot. You can still let us go.”

Zhang Baldzi laughed when he heard this: "Say, Mr. Ship, I shot the Dragon King's relative's shoulder to pieces, so am I not Sun Wukong?"

The captain's face turned green as he said, "You don't look like Monkey King, you are just a pig!"

We all listened happily. Zhang Baldy pinched the fat on his face and felt that he really looked a bit like him, so he couldn't help but feel depressed.

The fat man laughed for a while and said: "Since there is such a thing under the sea, we must have weapons. If that sea Dou is their lair, then wouldn't we run to die? I said Miss Aning, you Have you prepared any fishing spears or something?”

Na Aning said: "We have considered this situation and prepared some diving guns, but these guns are large and can only fire one shot at a time. If there is an emergency, they may not be of much use.

The fat man ignored these shouts: "It doesn't matter whether it's useful or not. You don't have too many guns. Bring all you can. When we go down tomorrow, I will take the lead. Comrade Xiao Wu will follow me. You, Bald Man and Xiao Zhang At the end, comrade, if I wave my hand as soon as I see something wrong, you will stop immediately; if I wave my fist, you will ignore everything and just run away."

We felt that the arrangement was more reasonable, so we nodded, discussed some other things, and looked at the equipment they had prepared. Even the black donkey hooves were prepared, and they were quite complete.

After the instructions were given, it was almost dawn, and the fat man said that we couldn't talk any more. We couldn't get out of the water if we talked any more, so we had to rest, so they each found a place to lie down.

That coconut wine has a strong stamina, so I thought it shouldn’t be drunk like this... The little brother saw that I was on top, so he arranged for me to rest quickly, and he also rested aside.

It was already afternoon when I woke up. Several other people woke up earlier than me and were already getting ready. I tidied up. At this time, several frogmen had already floated up from the water. One of them took off his respirator and said : "Found it, it must be this place. The thief's cave was also found."

Upon hearing that, Aning quickly asked, "Did you go in and have a look?"

The man said, "Yes, but the cave is very long. I sneaked in for a while, but I didn't see the end. I didn't dare to go in anymore, so I came out."

Aning nodded, asked the frogman a few more questions, then turned to us and said, "Okay, let's get ready. They will call us after they clean the hole. If there are signs of collapse in the hole, they will use scaffolding." Fix it.”

We each went to put on our wetsuits. I and I were afraid that it would be obvious that the girl had put some thought into her clothes, but it would be fine if we couldn’t tell.The other ones fit perfectly, but the fat guy was embarrassed. His big belly couldn't fit in. After a long time of effort, he finally managed to fit it in. It looked very funny. After checking the equipment, we packed everything we should bring.

The little brother knew that I had never been in the water, and now I was about to go to the undersea tomb. He was actually a little worried. Although he taught me a few things before setting off, the sea was not as good as on the ground. He asked me to stay ahead of him as much as possible, and I would definitely follow closely. .

Then they fell into the water one after another.
