Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 88 Move On
088 Chapter 88 Keep going

Early the next morning, my brother pulled me up. Following Chen Pi and the others, we all got up early. We set off early again and kept walking in the snow. Although it was still very early, everyone had already left. The people were tired and tired.

The fat man always pestered Shunzi and asked him: "Hey, are there any hot springs around here?"

Shunzi was also thinking about the hot springs and said to him: "The altitude here is too high, and I don't come here often. It's a bit difficult to find the hot springs. If you feel bored, you can walk around and look for them, and you can also go see them by the way." Looking at the ice burial place of our ancient ancestors, it’s not too far away, just over a kilometer away from where we camped.”

They, the masters of inverted fighting, always seem to have a special affection for corpses. When they hear that there is a dead person, I feel that they can see the expression of curiosity on their faces.

When the fat man heard this, he became interested and asked, "Ice Burial, why don't we take a walk and have a look?"

Wu Xie smiled: "I have nothing to do anyway, I'm really curious to go take a look.

I whispered in a low voice: "Ice burial, that's a mass burial..." I looked at the little brother. Although he didn't speak, I could clearly see the words "I want to go see" on his head.

Monk Hua said: "I will accompany the old man, you can go."

Following Shunzi, he took a few of us to the valley on the left side of the camp. After walking for less than half an hour, we came to a cliff. Shunzi said, "Look, this is it. Below is the ice valley." "I followed Shunzi to find a good place to stop, picked up a cold firework and threw it away.

The little brother pulled me towards the edge of the cliff. He looked at it very seriously. Because he was thinking about things while looking, I braved a few glances and saw many densely packed huddles in the ice at the bottom of the glacier valley. The black shadows were clustered together, and some of them could clearly see the shape of people. Some of them should have been buried for a long time and were buried in deeper places. All that could be seen were small black dots. When I saw these, I quietly shrank down. The little brother is behind me, don’t blame me for being timid, this is really not something that everyone can see.

The fat man looked at me like that, and said to me with a smile: "Girl, you have been out several times, how come you are still so timid and have not practiced at all? Look at how fast our little innocent has improved."

I looked at him sideways and said, "So what." I said this with very little confidence, and then I added, "You are far away. Let me try to get closer. I think you are too." Gotta be afraid.”

The fat man laughed and said, "Hey, our girl has not developed the courage. She has a long temper. She even talks back. Look, I think he dotes on you too much."

Wu Xie shook his head with a smile and said: "Why do you love me? Does it have anything to do with you? Do you think that everyone is as fearless as you? She is a girl. You think it's okay to scare others, so why bother talking back to you? It’s not that you always recruit people when you have nothing to do, why doesn’t she talk back to me and my little brother, right Xiaoxun?”

The fat man curled his lips and said "cut", rolled his eyes at Wu Xie, made a funny face at me and said, "What do you mean by tricking me? It sounds like I was bullying her. I was just teasing my sister to see her being cute." , right." He also winked at me to make me laugh. The fat man looked at Wu Xie and said, "Look, you're having fun."

Wu Xie glanced at him with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are a big pistachio, right?" The fat man shook his head and said proudly: "That's right."

Wu Xie looked around and said, "There are still some traces of sacrifices around this ice valley."

Shunzi said: "In ancient times, ice burials were popular among villagers in the mountains. In the early days of liberation, people were still buried on this ice cliff, so now some elderly people sometimes come here to worship. The glaciers here are thickening year by year, so If you look at the innermost body, those tiny dots that are almost invisible are probably thousands of years old, while the outermost ones are just a few decades old."

Wu Xie made a rough count and found that there were tens of thousands of black spots that could be seen. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Obviously this frozen cemetery has accumulated countless dead people over the thousands of years. It's like There should be an ice valley like this in the Little Holy Valley, so wouldn’t this snow mountain be an extra-large tomb?”

The fat man suddenly asked: "Hey, tell me, among these corpses, are there slaves from the Eastern Xia Dynasty when the Spiritual Palace was built?"

The little brother suddenly said: "I'm sure there is one." His eyes kept looking into the depths of the ice valley, until he saw the cold light gradually dimming. He was always thinking about things. I knew that he was thinking of things that I actually didn't want him to think of. I hugged his arm tightly and leaned against him to protect him.

Wu Xie always felt that this time he saw us, we were different from before, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It was just a feeling that the two of us had something on their mind.

We looked around and found nothing to see, so we went to look for hot springs. It was not bad, and we found a few small ones. Several people washed, warmed up, and soaked their feet in the hot springs. He returned to the camp feeling warm and told Monk Hua about the situation. He was filled with envy.

Wu Xie said: "This is strange in the snow-capped mountains. People feel sleepy when they are warm, and they also feel sleepy when they are freezing to death."

The fat man smiled: "That's different. One is comfortable, and the other is fatal."

They served noodles for dinner. After eating, I couldn't stop feeling sleepy, but I still didn't dare to sleep. After a few days, even Wu Xie and Fatty felt that I seemed to be worried about something. Wu Xie He was a little worried after seeing how hard I was holding on. Seeing my brother leaning on the side to coax me to sleep, I couldn't help but ask: "Meng Youping, why did I feel so sleepy? Xiaoxun seems to be in a bad mood recently. Is there something wrong?" The little brother looked at Wu Xie indifferently, and then looked down at me who was holding his arm tightly, but he didn't say anything, just quietly, caressing my head, and was stunned for a moment. Will sigh.

Wu Xie understood it at a glance. He knew that something must be wrong, but he just couldn't ask. Sometimes this stuffy guy wouldn't say anything when asked, which made him feel crazy, but there was really nothing he could do about him, but The reason why Xiaoxun had such great emotional ups and downs was probably not [-]% but [-]% because of the stuffy oil bottle. He couldn't help but sigh and had no choice but to shake his head.

At this time, it was windy outside again, and they all got into their sleeping bags early to rest. Today's rotation is Shunzi, Lang Feng and Pan Zi. Shunzi is guarding the first shift. We also have many people, so we don't need to rotate them all in one day. Wu Xie and Fatty felt sorry for me and advocated letting the little brother take care of me wholeheartedly. Anyway, they only have enough people on shift, and even Chen Pi's people didn't care much. Maybe they thought it would be more difficult to take care of children...

Wu Xie was very tired and fell asleep quickly. He thought he could have a sweet sleep, but before he could sleep for an hour, he was woken up by several snoring symphonies, and the symphony even made him do A nightmare.Mi Mi opened her eyes and saw Monk Hua, Fatty, Lang Feng, and Pan Zi snoring at the same time. One after another, they helplessly covered their heads. They turned to look at the little brother and me. The little brother fell asleep quietly. I covered my ears with my hands, thinking, look at the sweetness on my side, and then I looked at my headache, I couldn't help but sigh and smile lightly, I wanted to continue lying like that, but it was really uncomfortable to lie down for a while. I couldn't sleep and felt so uncomfortable that I had to crawl out of the tent.

After leaving the tent, he said to Shunzi: "I'll switch with you. I'll do your shift. You go and sleep for a while first."

Shunzi was smoking there by himself, looking at the huge black mountain under the moonlight in a daze.She shook her head and said to him: "No, I use money to do things. I have taken so much money from you, and it would be bad if I can't even do this."

Wu Xie took out his cigarette and went up to ask him to borrow a fire. Then he sat down and started chatting with him while adding some fuel to the stove. He told Shunzi about the ancient tombs, and Shunzi told him about the local area. The local customs and interesting things about the mountains and forests made the two of them quite congenial, and the more they chatted, the more energetic they became.Later Shunzi told him that he was a border guard seven years ago and a reserve for four years. Before joining the army, he was a herbal collector, so he was very familiar with the snowy mountains. His comrades called him "Alangcai", which means from the snowy mountains. son.So we can definitely rest assured when we follow him. In mountains like this, there are not many people who can bring people in, and he is one of them.

Wu Xie wondered in his heart, if you are so powerful, why did you faint before entering the mountain? However, it is always a bad idea to make trouble, so he should continue to listen carefully.

While chatting, Shunzi suddenly asked: "Boss Wu, actually, what are you doing in the mountains? Can you tell me?"

Wu Xie didn't know how to answer, so he just stayed there in a daze, and both of them became quiet.

Wu Xie struggled for a long time and felt something was wrong no matter what he said. Finally he sighed: "Why do you care about this? I can't say."

Shunzi seemed to expect that he would answer like this and just smiled: "It's okay, I'm just asking casually."

Wu Xie didn't want to lie to him, but he really had no choice but to feel uncomfortable, so he changed the subject casually and asked him that since he used to collect herbal medicines, it was very profitable to collect herbal medicines in Changbai Mountain, rather than doing this thankless job. The guide was much more comfortable. Why did he later become a snow mountain guide? But he didn't expect Shunzi's answer and Wu Xie almost vomited blood.

Shunzi said to him: "I am not a professional guide. I have been collecting herbs since I was discharged from the army. I rarely take people up the mountain a few times, and I never go so deep. I usually turn back at Girl Lake. This is still my first place." Bring the team in for the first time.”

Wu Xie smiled and said, "Stop joking."

Shunzi said very seriously: "I tell the truth, no professional guide will take you into the snow-capped mountains in this season. If I don't take you in, you have to come in by yourself. It would be too dangerous. If it weren't for the blessing of Bodhisattva, we would actually be dead." It’s already a miracle that we can get here without missing anyone, but you don’t have to worry, although I haven’t brought anyone in before, I’ve been there many times and I’m very familiar with it, so nothing will happen to me.”

Wu Xie saw that his expression was very serious and felt strange. What made him willing to take such a risk to be a guide, so he asked him: "Then since it is so dangerous, why did you bring us here? You are so short of money." ?"

Shunzi said to him: "Actually, I did it for my father who disappeared ten years ago. At that time, he took a group of people into the snow-capped mountains, which was almost the same route. But in the end, the whole group disappeared into the mountains. Those few tourists at that time , the costumes are very similar to yours, and you have to go up the mountain in winter, so when I see you, I feel that I must follow you. Firstly, I don’t want you to die in there like my father. Secondly, I have a very childish feeling. Maybe your purpose of going into the mountain is the same as that of those people ten years ago, then maybe I can know what happened to my father. Of course, this is just my imagination." He smiled to himself: "Or maybe my father simply encountered an avalanche and was buried in this snowy mountain."

Wu Xie understood what he was thinking and said, "That's why you asked us why we went into the mountain?"

Shunzi nodded sheepishly: "Hey, you don't understand, the feeling of knowing that your father is sleeping in this snowy mountain, but you can't see him."

The little brother was always a light sleeper. As soon as Wu Xie went out to chat with Shunzi, the little brother had already woken up and just kept his eyes closed to rest.

In fact, as soon as we got on the train after departure, I received a call from Bai Hao. He said, "Xiao Xun, I'm looking for my brother. Give him your phone number." The reason why he called me to find my brother is because we are here. The Kirin City Spiritual Power mobile phone has the same excellent functions as a normal smartphone, but it does not need to be charged and there is no need to worry about losing signal. No matter where I am, as long as the mobile phone is on me, it can definitely find me.

I then handed the phone to the little brother. After listening to the call, he frowned first, then sighed, then hung up the phone, and then stared at me, which made me stare. I was confused, but he didn't speak, so I had to ask him softly: "What did Bai Hao say? Can you tell me?"

Then he grabbed my arm and said softly: "Things have changed, can we share the sense?" Then he looked at me with soft eyes and seriousness.

The look in his eyes made me nervous and asked, "What are you feeling?"

He said calmly: "Wu Xie, Chen Pi will come too."

I nodded and whispered: "I understand, to protect him, you can also know what those people will say to him."

The little brother continued to look at me seriously, and I asked him: "Is it okay to listen to it or video?"

The little brother said: "Listen, you should listen to it normally, and leave it to me when you have a rest."

But at that time, I was so nervous and shy that I wanted to dig into the ground. I stuttered and said to him: "Um, then you, lower... lower your head, I can't reach you." In fact, I felt that he seemed a little shy too, He lowered his head slightly, and I whispered in his ear: "If you listen, you have to kiss here." Then I gently kissed his temple a little lower and close to his ear.Then we both stayed there for a short while.

We came back to our senses because we heard a familiar voice say to us at the same time: "What are you two doing?" That's right, it was the fat man's voice. The younger brother ignored him and stood up and looked at me for a while. I was already nervous. When we settled down, my brother walked into the carriage and started to sleep. I was stunned in the aisle with my cell phone...until Wu Xie and the others appeared.

Sharing the "listening" function of the bug can be activated when I am resting. As soon as I fall asleep, the "listening" matter will be left to the little brother to keep an eye on, so Shunzi and Wu Xie said for ten years The story of the missing tourists who entered the snow-capped mountains immediately attracted my attention.The little brother thought to himself, could he also come to Yunding Tiangong?Could it be that group of people?
Seeing that Wu Xie was silent, Shunzi thought that the question he just asked was a bit too much, and said to him: "Boss Wu, I think you are different from other people, so I am telling you these things. I hope you don't mix these things with other people." People tell me. I’m afraid they will have concerns.”

Wu Xiexin said that she would definitely not talk about it. If they knew that it was your first time to bring someone here, not to mention what Chen Pi Asi would do to you, the fat man might even beat you to death.So he nodded and agreed to him.

At this time, Lang Feng from the second shift came out of the tent and yawned. He was surprised to see the two of them chatting.Shunzi packed her things and went to bed.Wu Xie and Lang Feng had nothing to say, so they said hello and went back to sleep.

Amidst the deafening snoring, Wu Xie was half asleep. He didn't know if he was thinking about it every day or dreaming about it at night or something. After hearing what Shunzi said about the incident ten years ago, he then dreamed about Shunzi. Father, a bearded Shunzi led a group of people up the mountain. What was strange was that in his dream, he always felt that he had seen those people somewhere before, and ended up tossing and turning, sleeping very restlessly.
