Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 413 Guardian, Xuelin

Nursing home, the condition of the nursing home in the town is very simple. The elderly living here are all childless or abandoned by their children and have no self-survival ability. Smelling a faint smell, Lao Jiu snorted: "This is the smell before death, and we will be like this one day."

When we came, we bought a lot of milk and bread suitable for the elderly. The leader of the nursing home is a neat middle-aged woman, but her eyes are full of exhaustion. She received us warmly, and Lao Jiu hummed that kind of tune, Asked if any old man remembered or knew it, the middle-aged woman didn't know, but she hugged the wooden old man silently and said: "The crazy woman knows, she keeps humming."

"Crazy woman? Who is it?" Batu asked.

At this time, Lian Haitang's gaze had already fallen on a woman. Her hair was messy, with white hair in the center of her head, and the rest of her hair was still black, but it was messy if she didn't comb it. At this moment, she Holding a box of milk we brought in his hand, he was smiling and drinking while humming a tune, which was vaguely heard from a distance, but he heard it clearly when he approached, it was exactly that rhythm!
"How can a crazy woman ask questions?" The old man pointed to his brain and said, "She is sick here, and she can't speak clearly."

Tao Ran was squatting in front of the crazy woman, and we were shocked when the crazy woman raised her head. There was a long scar on her right cheek!

The person in charge came over and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, she had this before she entered the nursing home. I heard that she was injured when she fell from the mountain. The family didn't have the money to treat it, so they used stove ash to clean it. That's how it ended. "

Tao Ran asked, "Is there a separate room, please borrow it."

As Tao Ran took out the documents, the person in charge immediately panicked. Tao Ran said a few words of comfort to reassure her. She took us to her office, closed the door silently and walked away. This office is just a dilapidated A chair was added to the table, and a sofa was placed beside the wall. The skin on the surface was torn, revealing the sponge inside. Tao Ran asked the crazy woman to sit on it. He took out a tissue to wipe her clean, and said softly, "Mother-in-law, it's okay, just keep an eye on my hands for a while."

The crazy woman who was cowering just now, with wandering eyes, actually showed a smile, and grabbed Tao Ran's hand tightly: "Daughter, daughter, have you come to see me?"

Tao Ran was taken aback for a moment, then ignored the dirty and smelly body of the crazy woman, and hugged her body: "Yes, yes."

The crazy woman settled down, Tao Ran took out a pocket watch, and put down my hands that were originally in my arms: "Are you going to use hypnosis?"

"Well, we can't use normal methods in her current situation." Tao Ran said, "Let me try. I use a hypnotist's license, which I got in Hong Kong."

Tao Ran used his mobile phone to find a piece of music, which was extremely soothing. In the sound of this soothing music, Tao Ran began to guide, and gradually calmed the mad woman. We were infected by this atmosphere, and the atmosphere dared not After a word, finally, the crazy woman rested her head on the back of the sofa, with a happy smile on her face...

"Grandma, what's that song you're humming?" Tao Ran asked softly.

"The music of chopping wood, my mother-in-law taught me." The crazy woman showed a naive smile on her face: "If you sing in the snowy forest, someone will answer."

Xuelin?Lian Haitang glanced at me, I coughed lightly, Tao Ran gave me a look impatiently, meaning that he knew what he was doing and wouldn't let me make any noise, Tao Ran asked in a gentle tone: "Where is Xuelin? "

"Sparkling, shining." The crazy woman said: "It's been passed on for many years, many years, and I'm the last one..."

Lao Jiu was startled suddenly, and pointed out the door. When I walked out, Lao Jiu asked in a low voice, "Do you remember the list in the genealogy?"

"Remember, not one will be missed." I said, pointing to my head.

Lao Jiu said: "Let's find out who this crazy woman's mother-in-law is. There will be information in the town. Let's go."

I suddenly understood, without saying a word, I left with Lao Jiu to the town government, and finally got the result after some negotiation. The famous Wang family, the people in the town thought she was talking nonsense, saying that the whole family was sick.

I asked Laojiu if he was a crazy woman when he heard someone humming a tune when he came here before, but Laojiu said that person was much more refreshing than the current one. After inquiring, he found out that the crazy woman had a daughter who went to work in the city three years ago , ended up dying there. It is said that she did not do a clean job during her lifetime, and no one sympathized with her after she died, and even made people talk about it. It became more and more vague, and finally became what it is now.

The name of the mad woman's mother-in-law is Lu Hui, a very common name, but it is said that this woman is not simple, she lived to be one hundred and one years old before dying, and she is the longest-lived old man in the town, that's why, We were able to inquire about her information. Before she died, she kept humming this song for the crazy woman to remember. She said that she would pass it on, and she must pass it on!

I understand, "Old Jiu, the crazy woman's family is also descended from Khitan, right?"

Lao Jiu nodded silently: "Although their names are not on the list, but it has been said for many years since the crazy woman said that I am the last one. I have a wonderful feeling. They are the same people as me."

"I believe, Lao Jiu." I said with a smile, "I'm as crazy as you."

Lao Jiu gave me a punch: "Stop fucking nonsense, their family should be the ones guarding here, this song has been passed down from generation to generation, because it is something they guard and it is also something that proves their identity. The son is about to end here, because the daughter is dead, poor, she is crazy and still remembers this tune, humming in her mouth all the time, alas, is the power of blood so powerful? Lin Tianyi."

"Whether there is a name on the family tree is not important." I said sternly, "The key is something in the bones, but you care about it, so you insisted on asking."

Lao Jiu nodded: "It's not easy for the old man to live to be one hundred and one years old. No, she was still there when I came here. Could it be that the woman I met was not a crazy woman, but a crazy woman? Mother-in-law?"

"It's very possible." I snapped my fingers: "It's simply the arrangement of fate, just like the rain."

When it rains, the house collapses, and the old nanny's letter reappears in the world, can the corner light count as this?

The phone rang, it was Tao Ran, she had finished the hypnosis, how much energy this woman has is still a mystery, her charm is getting stronger and stronger, I am a moth, she is a fire, if it is not for her to automatically extinguish for me , or I threw myself into the fire and burned to ashes, alas...

"Don't make a bitter face, go back." Lao Jiu said: "Didn't Tao Ran say that he was sure of Xuelin's location? Go and see if it's the place where the crime happened."

We went directly to Xuelin, where cars couldn’t go in, so we parked outside and walked in, the summer forest was filled with a natural fragrance, Hai Dongqing suddenly stood on the ground and hesitated, I walked over to have a look, There are a few dwarf bushes in the jungle by the roadside. They bear plump and shiny fruits, fiery red in color, and look delicious.

They seemed to be completely attracted by the red fruit, and they refused to leave for a long time. When I went up, I just kicked: "I'm stunned, don't hurry up, you can't eat, you know?"

As Lian Haitang said, once the sea holly starts eating, their fasting period is over, and their metabolism will restart just like ordinary eagles, and they will not be far from death.

Hai Dongqing left reluctantly, flew above us, and headed towards the snow forest. Tao Ran learned through hypnosis that the place was located in a mountain range in the west of Kunlun Mountains, with a dense forest on the left and a depression in the middle. It is a small stream, opposite the stream is a cliff, and above the cliff is the existence of "Sparkling", the "Sparkling" that the crazy woman loves so much, we didn't expect it to be so difficult to enter this place, because of the homicide , few people come in this place, so the originally narrow path is now narrower, because the road is tightly covered by thorns, Lao Jiu and Batu used sickles to open the way in front, the thorns were cut off and scattered on both sides, we The pace of moving forward is finally a little faster.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at the depression, and we could only vaguely see a light flashing ahead, just a little bit. We couldn't wait to move forward, crossed the stream, and came to the forest. On one side, smooth and smooth, a lonely tree stands on the top of the cliff with lush branches and leaves, as if waving to us.

We were so tired and out of breath, the twins and Meng Luo found a place to sit down, took out the water bottle to drink water, Meng Luo raised his head and said: "It's almost noon, the light can only appear at noon, Lin Tianyi, did you bring a telescope? "

I took out my binoculars and looked over to the cliff. After adjusting the distance, I said with certainty: "The reflective place is not on this cliff, but behind the cliff. It may be the top of another mountain range."

Lao Jiu snatched it away, and seemed dissatisfied with my judgment. After confirming it, he said helplessly, "It's true."

Lian Haitang said: "Let Hai Dongqing take a look."

I nodded, and the two sea holly flapped their wings and flew over to the bright spot that was about to disappear. We took this opportunity to rest in place. Finally, the sea holly let out two long whistles and found the target!

"The sound is far away from here." Nan Hai said: "It's on the back of this mountain, if you go around it, it will be dark."

"What are you afraid of?" Lao Jiu patted his backpack: "We brought a tent and haven't slept overnight for a long time. I'm so excited."

The light slowly faded away...
