Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 120
After a lot of tossing and eating and drinking, two or three hours have passed, the lake is still calm, and our clothes are dry.

Seeing the sun gradually slanting to the west, but there is not even half a person around, I thought that waiting like this is not an option. If something really happens to someone, is it possible that Tofu and I will wait here until the end of time?After thinking about it, although I felt very uncomfortable, I had to kick Tofu, motioned him not to lie there with his dead body, and said, "I probably won't come out, let's go back to Fengtou Village first."

Tofu was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Let's not wait for Miss Gu."

I said: "If she is alive, we don't need to wait. If she is dead, what's the use of waiting? Let's go." I sighed and started walking back with the tofu.To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable at this time, but life has to go on, I can't be overwhelmed by this, if we wait any longer, we don't have any equipment on us, the moon rises and the night is dark, and there are more dangers in the deep mountains. Instead of this, it's better Go back to Fengtou Village early.

The two of us didn't go far back when we found traces left by some people. It seemed that the time was not long.

Could it be the person who saved me and tofu?
After he landed, leave me and Tofu alone?
Who will this person be?

I almost only thought of one person, and that was Lu Su. At that time, apart from Lu Su, the rest of Feng Guishou belonged to the selfish and desperate type, while Gu Wenmin belonged to the self-defense and powerless type. Except for him, there is probably no one Who will save me and tofu.So, did he save Gu Wenmin?

This man surnamed Lu ran away on his own after landing, could it be that he wanted to part ways?
With Lu Su's personality, he shouldn't do such a thing as monopolizing Zhenhai Stone and claiming credit from Old Man Zhao. If so, why did he run away alone?

I thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "Not good! Is it possible that this kid wants to cheat on others!"

Tofu said: "What black eats black?"

I said: "The few of us are going all the way, and it doesn't matter who gets the Zhenhai stone, so when Lu Su put away the Zhenhai stone before, I didn't argue with him about it. In whose hands, the main thing is that the thing can be handed over to the old man Zhao. So under normal circumstances, Lu Su has no reason to abandon us. It was taken privately."

Tofu couldn't close his mouth in shock, and said, "No way, Lao Lu doesn't look like that kind of person."

I was so angry that I wanted to slap him, and said: "You know people, you don't know your face, you don't know your heart, no matter how much you trust a person, you have to be careful, what is not like that kind of person, don't be bought so easily."

"Then what do we do now?"

I shook my head, and said to myself that now I can only take one step at a time, go back to Fengtou Village first, and then I have to go to old man Zhao, anyway, I have to get the things left by the statement.On the one hand, that thing is related to the curse of the face of the ghost, and on the other hand, it is more or less the last relic left by my father. It was handed over to me before he died, and it cannot just fall into other people's hands.

Although I don't have any father-son relationship with Chen Ci, but I can't let him die like this.

After clearing my mind, I decided not to bother about Lu Su's affairs, and headed back with the tofu. The two of them were exhausted from the journey and spent the night on the day trip. The next day, I finally walked out of the canyon. In the afternoon of the same day, I returned to Phoenix head village.The two of us have been tossing like beggars, and we have lost our wallets and documents.

Fortunately, the owner of the hotel knew us, and we both paid a deposit, and lied to Tofu, saying that we got lost in the mountains and encountered wild animals, which was why we were so embarrassed.The two of us stayed in the hotel that night and took a hot bath. The owner is a Tujia nationality. Minorities are generally simple and kind-hearted. They also bought me some wound medicine made by the Tujia nationality.

We changed our clothes, and while eating, we asked the boss about Lu Su and the others.If they were alive, they would definitely sleep in this place when they came back.

This question really made a name for itself, but the boss said that Lu Su had arrived in the village before noon today, bought some food and left without a trace.The only thing left is the woman who was with us back then, who came to the counter to eat something, made a phone call and left. The only thing left now is a tall and thin woman who is sleeping upstairs at the moment.

Tofu and I looked at each other, and our hearts were in a mess for a while.

The woman with us?Isn't it Gu Wenmin?she is still alive?

This is really good news.

But I feel vaguely uncomfortable.

Since Gu Wenmin arrived here earlier than us, it means that she got out of danger before me and Tofu.With Tofu and I taking care of her, at that moment, how could she abandon us and come back alone?According to the boss, she left after making a phone call. Could it be related to that phone call?
As for the thin and tall guy the boss said, it should be Feng Guishou. Tofu and I found out his room number and hurried to knock on the door.Feng Guishou was sleeping, with his head on the chicken nest, cursing, opened the door and looked, stunned, and said: "It's you two, yo, are you still alive?"

When Tofu heard the words, it was as if his tail had been stepped on, and he jumped up and said, "You bastard grandson is still alive, so can you, Grandpa Dou, die!"

The two have been at loggerheads since the incident in the burial pit. Feng Guishou let out a hey hey and said, "You softie and sissy, don't be so fucking shameless. If you have something to say, hurry up and fart, Feng!" Grandpa has no time to talk to you."

Tofu has always thought that he is handsome, shocking, weeping ghosts and gods, everyone loves him, and flowers bloom when he sees them. Nine out of ten women want to bow down to his male hormones. He is scolded by Feng Guishou as a softie, and blushes instantly The neck is thick, and he will fight if he rolls up his sleeves.Feng Guishou sneered, his knuckles creaked, as if to accompany him.

I only felt a dull pain in my temples, so I pushed Feng Gui's hand, pulled the tofu into the room, and closed the door, and said lightly: "No time to chat, let's talk about business. Brother Feng, how did you get out of that place?" ?”

I interrupted and brought the topic back on track. The two of them stared at each other contemptuously and at the same time withdrew their hands, and then they heard Feng Guishou say: "Of course I swam out by myself, but you two, such a long waterway, how can you actually swim?" It's a miracle that he survived."

Tofu and I looked at each other, and Tofu asked, "Did you meet anyone else after you came out? Like Lu Su or Gu Wenmin?"

"I haven't met anyone. Any other questions? I'm going to bed without it. It's a bad deal. Nothing."

Tofu curled his lips and said, "Don't think I don't know, the appearance fee is more than 80 yuan, don't pretend to be poor, I said... Lu Su's life and death with the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone is uncertain, don't you care at all? The task that old man Zhao entrusted to you has failed, so you won’t get any money for this appearance fee?”

Feng Gui folded his arms around his chest and leaned on the wooden chair with an indifferent look: "You don't need the appearance fee. Lu Su doesn't need me to care. Both of you can survive. He dies? Impossible. Second Master Zhao wants It is the Zhenhai stone, as for who in our team gave it to him, it doesn't matter."

Tofu said: "What if Lu Su escapes with his treasure?"

Feng Guishou's indifferent expression froze for a moment, and he frowned and said, "What did you say?"

When the two of them were talking, I was sitting by the side watching Feng Guishou's expression. It seemed that he didn't seem to be lying.

This person was the first to escape from the water, and guessing that all of us were drowned, he ran for his own life, naturally not knowing what happened afterwards.At this moment, when I first heard that Lu Su had fled privately with his treasure, one can imagine the expression on his face.

It is already night now, and it is pitch black outside the window. This small village located deep in the mountains is surrounded by natural hustle and bustle. The night wind, birds, beasts, and insects can be heard faintly. In the single room of the simple hotel, facing each other and the surrounding mottled walls, no one spoke for a while.

Feng Guishou finally spoke first, hissed, and said, "Impossible, you guys think too much, what use does Lu Su want that stone for?"

Tofu said: "I've always been curious about the charm of that broken stone. It took old man Zhao to spend so much manpower and financial resources to find it. And now, even Lu Su wants to eat it. Could it be that what is this thing really? baby?"

Feng Guishou remained silent, finally shook his head, and said: "I only know the legend about the eight-carp fighting jiao that can control the sea and the stone can control the water, but what's the use of such empty talk? Lu Su, don't look at it!" He looks like a human being, gentle and kind, but in fact he is very shrewd and his methods are black, he will never do things that don't matter."

"Could it be that there is something wonderful about this stone that I don't know about..." the surname Feng muttered to himself, basically falling into a state of speculation talking to himself.

Tofu and I looked at each other, knowing that there was nothing to ask from him, so we could only shake our heads immediately, the two of them ignored Feng Gui's hand, and went back to their respective rooms.

Looking back on this experience, it only took six or seven days, but it felt like fighting a life-and-death battle.Now I relax all over. Although the hotel bed is too hard, it is much better than the damp and uneven cave. I lay down on my head, neither hot nor cold, and the temperature is just right. People who are comfortable can't help but want to groan. As soon as he touched the pillow, he fell asleep.

Vaguely, I thought about sleeping late tomorrow, and then leaving this Fengtou village, and never coming to such a poor place for the rest of my life, and then I fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was very comfortable. When I turned over in the middle of the night, I put my hand together and suddenly touched something warm.

Due to the deep sleepiness, I couldn't wake up, I just groped along, wondering what it was, but after touching it, I suddenly found that it was actually a human head!
I was startled awake immediately, jumped up from the bed, only to find that the bedside light had been turned on at some point, following the dim light, I could see Tofu sitting on the bed with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

I just felt a headache, couldn't help but rubbed my forehead, and said, "Xiaodou, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation." What is this kid going crazy, he came to my room in the middle of the night?

I looked at the clock on the wall, it showed that it was three o'clock in the morning.
