Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 5 can not read, or die

The moment the "Scarecrow" turned around, Tao Ran suddenly covered my eyes: "Don't look."

It was pitch black in front of me, and I was puzzled by her behavior. When Tao Ran let go of her hand, the "scarecrow" had already turned and walked towards the gate. Taking advantage of this time, I rushed in quickly, picked up a chair, I smashed it towards the head of the "Scarecrow", and only heard a "swish", a large piece of yellow sand splashed out and hit me, and I lost my eyesight. When I opened my eyes again, there was nothing in front of me Shadow of "Scarecrow"?

Tao Ran came over: "You are quick, you don't want to die."

Hearing what she meant, she knew the origin of that person. Mengluo stepped into the door at this time, and ran directly towards the person on the ground. The person lying on the ground opened his eyes cautiously, glanced at us, and pointed himself with his chin The rope on his body, Meng Luo untied the rope for him, and took out the cloth strip stuffed into his mouth: "Who are you?"

"I, I am the owner of the inn." This man looks to be in his 40s, lives on the edge of the desert, has dry skin, rough cheeks, and is wearing very simple casual clothes. He panted heavily: " Water, water."

The first floor of the inn is also the dining room. There are five tables with teapots on them. I poured a cup and handed it over. The man drank it with a sigh of relief, and stared at me blankly. : "You are courageous enough."

"What is the origin of that man? He looks weird. Also, woman, why didn't you let me see it just now?" I glared at Tao Ran angrily: "What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

The boss drank all the water, and when he heard what I said, he immediately said: "You can't watch it, or you will die."

Tao Ran seemed very familiar with the boss, and the boss said: "You have to thank her, these people live in the desert, I don't know their origin, they always come out several times a year, nothing else, just to get some food Into the desert, if anyone sees their faces, they will definitely kill people."

No wonder the boss kept his eyes closed, Tao Ran put his hands on his chest: "Now you know how to thank me?"

"Thank you." I cupped my fists and said, "Is that person dead? Gone?"

"Let's go." Tao Ran said: "With your three-legged cat's kung fu, what's the use of it."

I immediately looked at Munro, the man could only walk through the front door, Munro said: "When the sand hits the eyes, I feel a gust of wind blowing by, and when I look over, I don't see anything, but ..."

"But what?" I said impatiently, "Can you change your slow-talking habit?"

"That person's yin and yang are unbalanced," Mengluo said, "everything bears yin and embraces yang. The qi is harmonious, yin is cold and dark, and yang is hot and light. That person's yin is too heavy, and he lives in a yin In a cold and dark place, without seeing the face, the feeling is very strong."

Both the boss and Tao Ran looked at Mengluo with weird eyes. Mengluo looked like he was the only one who was superior to himself, as if he was saying, listen to it if you want to listen, and pull it down if you don’t want to listen.

The more I said it, the more it made me feel creepy. I patted the table and said, "Boss, we are going to stay here. Is there any room available?"

"Yes, there are a lot of vacancies." The boss said: "This year, the style of papers has been traveling frequently. Except for some expedition teams who are not afraid of death and say they want to find the treasure of Heishui City, ordinary guests will not come at all."

"Boss, get something to eat first." I patted my stomach: "Eat and talk, and then open the room."

Tao Ran glared at me, and I wiped my nose: "You are the one who is evil."

She turned her head and ignored me.

The boss survived the catastrophe, but his craftsmanship was not inaccurate. I asked him while eating: "Will that person come back to trouble you?"

"No, they have always been unwilling to deal with outsiders, and never open their mouths." The boss said, "It looks like you are here for the first time, like Teacher Tao, who never asks this question."

"As long as you don't see their faces, you're fine." The spider on Tao Ran's shoulder didn't move.

This is not the first time Tao Ran has come here. I ate with a dull head. When I put down my chopsticks after eating, I used too much force. The chopsticks bounced to the ground. When I bent down to pick it up, I found a pattern embroidered on Tao Ran’s trouser legs. After I took a closer look, Tao Ran stood up: "I'm tired, boss, choose a quieter room for me."

Seeing my eyes fixed on Tao Ran, Meng Luo couldn't help saying: "You won't get lost, this woman is different from us, she is a university teacher, and the purpose of coming here is different."

"Looks are the same thing, body..." I made a gesture with my hand: "It's an S, unfortunately, he has a bad temper, and also has a lot of eyes, it's not my dish, I like gentle and pleasant, little bird The Yiren kind, Mengluo, that yellow sand person..."

Meng Luo winked at me, and I shut my mouth immediately. The boss who sent Tao Ran upstairs came down. He sat across from us and said in a thief-like way: "Are you also here to find the treasure? Look at this The posture is not for tourism.”

Seeing that I was silent, the boss said with a smile: "I have a full set of equipment for going into the desert, and the price is easy to negotiate."

We suddenly realized that this boss is really a genius!

The boss smiled and said: "You have the heart to save me, I'll give you a [-]% discount, how about it? Locator..."

"We have," Munro said.

"Rope? Map?" The boss didn't give up.

"We have." Monroe's expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, his face was paralyzed!
The boss's face twitched, and the flesh on his face trembled slightly, "Well, where are the sand boots? Sunglasses, and..."

"We need camels." Munro said, "Can I get a discount?"

The boss said with a mournful face, "I don't take care of the camels. There are camel renters in Heishui Town. Find them yourself."

I tried my best to hold back my laughter, and Meng Luo said "oh", the boss looked at us, and suddenly lowered his voice: "You are also here to find the treasure in Heishui City, right? A group of people went in yesterday, including foreigners. Not long after entering, The paper wind started to blow up, and I think it’s likely to be hanging, so it’s probably more ominous than good.”

"How many people?" I hiccupped and asked.

"It's not too many, about ten people." The boss said, "It's quite big, and they drove in directly without a camel."

"Modern things are unreliable in the desert." Munro said lightly.

The boss gave Meng Luo a hard look, turned around, looked at me and said, "They have people, equipment, cars, and one thing - guns. This group of people is not easy. If you go in and meet , be careful."

gun?The only thing I have personally touched in my life is the palm mine. When I was running an antique shop, I received a palm mine, which was shaped like a cannon. Kong, made of pure copper, these people have a lot of background, and there are foreigners.

I stared at the palms of my hands and severed my left and right palms. Grandpa Gan's words sounded again.

"You have broken palms on both hands. A man's left hand is broken to hold a military talisman. A man's right hand is broken to hold a treasury. Both hands have broken palms. As long as you guide it into the right path, you will be able to make a difference."

If this is the right path for me, I might as well give it a try, take back the wavering heart just now, and I said, "Let's open a room, two rooms."

Munro's eyes widened: "One room."

"I'm used to sleeping alone." I glared at Monroe, this guy wants to save money, how can he hide this from me?

In the end, I opened one. After a long journey, I was exhausted. When I woke up in the morning, Munro was still sleeping soundly. When this guy was sleeping, he was like a dead man. Up and down like an ordinary person, I quietly walked out of the store and found that our car tire had been punctured!

Just as he was about to get angry, the boss came over: "The little boy in the town did it, catch one."

The kid was only about ten years old, with a dark complexion, and he held a pencil sharpener in his hand, a very old one, made of iron, which was already rusted. He was caught under the arm of the boss, and his eyes looked timidly Looking at me, I don't know why, the fire in my heart was extinguished at once, I waved my hand: "Forget it, I plan to use a camel to get in anyway, let him go."

After Mengluo got up, we started to pack our luggage and rented two camels. The cheapskate didn't say to rent only one this time, two big men have one camel, what a joke!
Until we set off, we didn't see Tao Ran, we just met by chance, whatever, fate ended here.

There is an ancient road in the desert, which is left over from the Silk Road. In fact, there is still a small trail at the beginning. When it really reaches the desert area, there is no road. Down, like gold flakes all over the floor.

We all rely on the locator and Munro's memory to guide us. According to him, he came in once, but he saw the yellow sand brought up by the wind from a distance, but he was not sure about the specific range. From our standpoint, It should be hoped that there will be another examination paper wind to make a more specific judgment.

In the yellow sand everywhere, some green plants and flowers can be seen occasionally. These desert roses are produced near the desert. Each flower is like a small trumpet, brilliant and brocade, and blooms continuously in all seasons.

The camel was very docile and walked without haste. Suddenly, it stopped and stood still. Suddenly, its hooves rolled in the yellow sand, and a white bone was exposed. I jumped down and fiddled with it a few times. , The clothes on the outside of this bone are very new!
I took a step back, and Munro's voice sounded: "There is more than one. Look, here is Lin Tianyi. There are four corpses in total. The items on them are very neat, such as compass, lighter, kettle, locator, and gun. ..."

"Could it be the people who came in to explore as the shop owner said?" I looked at the gun, picked it up, and felt heavy. Since ancient times, the principle of guns is actually the same. When I picked up the gun, I suddenly thought that these people came into the desert yesterday. , then, how come there are only a bunch of skeletons left so quickly? !
