The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 4 Fatal Mistakes (2)
I suddenly realized that a similar phenomenon was recorded in the "Ancient Gods and Monsters" that my grandfather passed on to me: "The water of the Eastern Darkness is more evil than the dragon. Wind and thunder rise from the water, and those who roll up and go up, Jiao plays with the water.” The general meaning of this sentence is: in the East China Sea (in theory, this should be the Yellow Sea, but the ancients did not have such a clear geographical concept, they simply divided it according to the four directions of east, west, north and west). The danger of the water is due to the presence of flood dragons.The storm broke out on the sea and rolled up to the sky, it was just this kind of flood dragon playing there.I think although I have never seen such a phenomenon, it should be a "waterspout", which is what some coastal people often say "dragon sucks water"!I heard from my grandfather that he encountered it once, when those "giant dragons" flew from the sea to a nearby small fishing village, and the whole fishing village disappeared in the blink of an eye!Only some ruins remain.Although this is not a real dragon, its destructive power is much greater than that "unnecessary" dragon, it is simply incalculable.

"Ah! Let the storm come more violently!" When we were all in a daze, the fat man became nervous. It may be that this rare sight made him feel emotional.

"Why are you pretending to be a fat petrel?! Run!" Seeing the huge black waves and the two giant dragons rushing towards us, but the fat man continued to show off, I yelled and pulled his sister up. hand, grabbed his arm and ran down the hill.The mountain we are on is very abrupt, like a dagger piercing straight into the sea.There are cliffs on three sides, and there is only one path that goes straight up and down.

I thought we were already running very fast, but the smaller "dragon" flew ahead of us with a "woo" as if it had eyes. Sweeping left and right on the only way, it brought up a lot of flying sand and rocks, and beat us back.

As soon as we took a few steps back, we saw the bigger dragon approaching us.For a moment, the wind howled and the turbid waves emptied out. Its power was definitely far beyond our imagination. Before it reached us, the muddy water swirling around it hit us head-to-head and face-to-face.

Seeing that these two waterspouts just caught us in the middle, it seems that today is inevitable. I really regret coming here today. I think they both think the same as me at the moment. "It's over, I'm really going to die here today." I couldn't help but say something, but the fat man's sister gave me a hard look and said, "Why do you, a big man, say such despondent words? Such a big world is so big. Can't stand you?!"

I was filled with guilt at what she said, and I was about to say something inspiring, but I felt a very strong air flow over me, almost blowing us away.Before I even had time to look, I knew it must be the giant water dragon coming. The fat man reacted much faster than me at this moment, and shouted "Run!" without looking back, we ran down the mountain again.

But seeing the smaller waterspout standing in front of us, with cliffs on both sides, how can we get around it?The giant dragon behind slowly approached, overwhelming everyone.In the confusion, I suddenly found that the waterspout in front of me started to move a little bit to the side. Immediately, I pulled them up ecstatically as if grasping the last straw, and ran forward.Seeing that we were about to rush over, the small tornado began to move towards us again, and the speed became faster and faster, and the bigger one behind it also rushed over.We had no other choice, either we were blown away by the big one behind us, or we rushed over desperately before the small tornado in front arrived.

I felt like I had stepped on cotton on the soles of my feet, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I quickly held hands with them and continued to run forward.Many trees and rocks around have been uprooted by the small one in front, and some of the remaining ones are being carried around by the airflow around the big one behind.We dodged left and right as we ran, and saw a section of tree trunk as thick as a bowl was lifted up by the air current and hit the fat man's sister, but his sister didn't know it.I lowered my head and pushed his sister's head down, and the tree trunk "buzzed" and wiped past our heads.

As long as he crossed that intersection, he would be able to leave the little tornado behind, but it was coming.Some towering pines and cypresses were broken by it just now and lay across the road.We had no choice at all, one dragged the other and scrambled over the ground and ran over, hand in hand, just ran a little ahead, when we heard a "woo" from behind, the trees and rocks all over the ground rose into the sky at once .Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and ran for a long distance in one breath before they dared to stop.

When we looked back, we saw from a distance that the top of the small gazebo we stayed in had rolled from the mountain to the side of the cliff, where the flying sand and stones seemed to form a black pot cover, and the two tornadoes were like two thousand-year-old tornadoes. The monsters were desperately doing the show before disappearing, and now they are far away from them, but they feel that their postures are a bit whirling.

We looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief for our narrow escape.The fat man looked at me and laughed "hehe", but I found it even more funny when I saw his muddy face.

"Thank you for saving me just now! Are you okay?" Fatty's sister wiped the dirt from her face and smiled sweetly at me.

"It's nothing, as long as you are not injured." I am a little embarrassed.

"Hey! By the way, you see we just ran away just now. We have known each other for such a long time, and I didn't even have time to introduce myself. My name is Pan Xianghui, and her name is Pan Xiangru. How about you, buddy?" The fat man suddenly became serious. Makes me uncomfortable.

"My surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Zhijiang, which means aiming for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains." I smiled at him.

"The name is a bit ordinary, but it's really interesting after you explain it like this." The fat man started again, and I thought to myself that this name was given by my grandfather, and that's what my dad explained to me. What did I explain?
"Brother, what are you talking about?!" Xiang Ru said angrily.

"Well, it's okay to make a joke, as if I didn't say anything! By the way, buddy, have you been busy recently?" The fat man asked.

"It's okay, what's the matter?" I thought I had saved his sister, but he found out in his conscience that he wanted to treat me to a meal.Besides, I thought to myself, what can I do?I lost money in the business, if there is something to do, it is how to pay off the debt, other than that, I really don't know what I should do.

"That's good, hehe! Let me tell you! There are many treasures in these thousands of miles of beautiful rivers and mountains..." Before the fat man finished speaking, Xiang Ru gave him a hard look, and quickly changed his words: "It's like this, If you don't mind, go to my brother's company to help me, brother, I can't lose you, what do you think?!"

I wonder, does this guy really have a company?But no matter what, working with him is better than starving to death outside, so I agreed wholeheartedly.

"Don't listen to him talking nonsense. Where did he come from? It's one of our cousins ​​who came back from overseas. He wants us to do something for him. We really need a helper. I just saw that you are very skilled and understandable. There are quite a lot, if you don't mind, let's go together!" Xiang Ru said with a smile.

Damn, this fat man really doesn't have a word of truth, I cursed in my heart, and agreed casually.

Fatty and I agreed on a time and place, and then we went home. Before leaving, I looked back at the two brothers and sisters.In fact, the fat man looks pretty good, but he talks with a hammer and a stick on the left, which makes you lose your mind and make you dumbfounded; Xiang Ru is much more stable and cute than ordinary girls, with her ponytail bouncing behind her head, making you feel dumbfounded. Anyone who reads it is a little imaginative.

At night, when I went home and couldn't sleep, I got up and flipped through the book, and suddenly saw the book my grandfather left for me.Guessing that Grandpa is no longer alive, since he wants to do business, it is useless to keep this broken book, so it is better to burn it with a fire!But I want to return to thinking, how can I say this is a thought left by the old man, it would be wrong to burn it.

The next day, I went to wait for them at the place the fat man said.After a while, this guy came. Seeing that Xiang Ru hadn't come, I asked where she was?The fat man asked her to buy some things because he was afraid that he would not have enough time, so I thought this should be an urgent matter.

Followed the fat man around and around, from this alley to that street, but he couldn't find a place.I said you don't even know where your cousin lives?This guy said with a playful smile that he hadn't been back for many years, and that his cousin had just returned from overseas, and he was also a little bit diverted about the rented house.

It was almost evening, and I finally found his cousin's house, and my stomach was already growling with hunger.I have become like this, let alone a fat man, who is hungry and sticks to his back.

"Your cousin doesn't care about dinner? Let's eat outside first!" I asked.

"Don't worry, how can you ignore it?" The fat man said confidently.

His cousin's house is an old-style Japanese villa with two floors. This kind of house was left over from the Japanese invasion of China, and there are leftovers in Qingdao, Dalian and other places.

His cousin was about fifty years old, with gold-rimmed eyes and wavy curly hair combed back. Both the fat man and I were wearing short-sleeved clothes, but he was wearing a suit and leather shoes on a hot day.

"MyGod! Oh! I said fat man! Why did you arrive so late?" His cousin couldn't understand without opening his mouth. His mouth was full of Cantonese, mixed with some foreign words.

The fat man and I had a good explanation, and then his cousin's urgency was overwhelmed.I didn't pay attention when I entered the door just now, but now I found that his cousin was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he was actually wearing slippers on his feet.

"Today was originally the time I set aside for you, but you have a look," his uncle lifted up the gold watch on his wrist. He knocked and said, "What time is it now? Do you still want to do this business?"

"Didn't I tell you just now! I just came back, and I'm not familiar with this area, haha! Just take it easy!" The fat man said with a smile on his face, it was obvious that he really wanted to do this business .

"What? What am I supposed to do? The boss I brought is on the plane to Beijing tomorrow afternoon. How much time do you have to do this?"

"You made a long-distance call to me the day before yesterday, and you flew back yesterday. Today is considered... oh! Don't say anything else, time is running out, so hurry up and tell us what to do!" The fat man also became anxious.

"Okay! Let me tell you, if you have the ability, go to this place tonight and help me find this thing back." His cousin said as he handed over the map with a red circle drawn on it, gesticulating Probably something like a pearl.I always thought that the fat man wanted me to work with him to do some ordinary business for his cousin, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

I looked at the map, the seaside was drawn on it, and it was not far from the place where we stayed yesterday.I motioned to the fat man with my eyes and asked him to ask his cousin if he could explain what he was looking for.

"Uncle! What exactly do you want? If you don't know clearly, just draw it. We can find it when we understand."

"How should I put it? It's a pearl like a pearl. My friend asked someone to ask people all over the country, but they all said there is no such thing. He is not reconciled, and plans to go to that place called Homeland in Beijing to look for it." He expressed My uncle was thinking about the name of this place while drawing.
