Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 368
We went ashore and each shrank into our sleeping bags. We all had only one set of clothes, which were baked by the fire and had no replacements. We could only wrap them in tents.While I was smoking, I listened to what Tofu said.Sometimes I am very envious of Tofu's character, who doesn't think deeply about anything and lives carefree.

The Fusang woman, that is, Jizi, went into the water alone after we landed, and she swam far away from the shore. Through the mist on the water surface, I could only see a very vague figure, tofu lying in a sleeping bag, Said: "You say that Fusang women are really strange. You say they are reserved, and their films are very good. You say they are open, but traditional. They don't even show their feet. It's a contradictory nation."

I said, "It's okay for you to study what this Fusang woman is doing. I warn you, don't think about it, I don't agree."

Tofu was dumbfounded, and said, "Wait, what sounds wrong to me, what does my finding a wife have to do with you?"

I said: "Normally, it has nothing to do with me, but if you want to find her, if something happens in the future, I will definitely wipe your ass, so you should be more self-conscious." Tofu was scared and sighed to find a girl Why is it so difficult? After some chatter, the clothes were almost baked. Lu Su brought the clothes in for us. By the way, the food was cooked and let us go out for dinner.

Tofu stared at his back and sighed: "Good man, perfect and good man. He is gentle and virtuous, and he can chop zongzi. Strange, why is there no woman around him with such good conditions? Is there something wrong? Maybe my little brother can't do it. "

I kicked him, saying that it has something to do with you if the little brother is okay, if you don't leave, the food will be eaten up.While everyone was eating and drinking, the Fusang woman stayed in the water and never came ashore. Once the lice got on the upper body, it was difficult to disinfect them. The safest way now is to soak in the water for an hour, so we didn't call her.After eating and drinking, it was already sunset time. Because of this accident, our itinerary was delayed a little. The journey that was originally expected to arrive tomorrow morning is estimated to be tomorrow afternoon.

This hot spring is actually a small lake in the middle of the snow-capped mountains, with an irregular shape, like a shattered mirror fragment, the color of the blue sky is reflected in the fragment, like a blue gem.The snow-capped mountains, lakes, and golden sunset constituted a magnificent scene. Everyone was somewhat moved, sitting by the fire, indulging in the beauty of the snow-capped mountains and lakes.

The mute was sitting on the edge of the fire, the surrounding crowd was a little far away from him, the snowflakes pressed a thin layer on his shoulders, the silent and stable body made me think of the statement again involuntarily, I felt a little blocked in my heart, I was used to living without parents since I was a child, and then I went to Shenzhen at the age of 14 and worked with the villagers. I remember that one afternoon, I saw a father waiting for his son at the school gate. I picked it up... I have forgotten what mood I was in at that time, I just remember that I stood there for a long time, until the father and son disappeared from sight, and I was scolded by the foreman.

At this moment, I have to admit that I miss the statement a little bit.

Maybe because he noticed my gaze, the mute raised his head and looked at me coldly. The gaze at this moment was very short, but it felt very long. In those dark and cold eyes, I saw indifference and unfamiliar.

Immediately afterwards, the mute turned his head and looked at the hazy figure in the distance in the lake. She sometimes dived into the water, and sometimes emerged to wash her hair. Looking at him, he said in his heart: Could it be that there is a relationship between him and this Fusang woman...

At this time, Tofu tugged on my sleeve, yawned, and said, "Sleeping." Everyone had worked hard all day, and even though it wasn't dark yet, they were all exhausted and full. It's easy to get sleepy, and Tofu's yawn made me doze off, so I also got into the tent.Not long after, I heard footsteps coming from outside in twos and threes, and it became quiet for a while, presumably they all went back to the tent to rest.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Su walked into the tent, took off his coat and trousers, got into the sleeping bag, and said that the dumb man was watching outside, so we can sleep peacefully first.Tofu murmured: "The mute must want to peek at Jizi taking a bath, hey, the hero is sad for the beauty pass."

As soon as the words were finished, amidst the whirring wind and snow, there was another thud, like the sound of something entering the water.

Tofu yawned again, then winked and said, "I guess right, as soon as we left, the mute couldn't resist jumping down to take a bath." He rolled his eyes, not afraid of the cold, and got out of the sleeping bag, He quietly opened the zipper of the tent, looking excited and ready to take a peek. Who knew that when the tent was opened, Tofu let out a snort.

I said, "What? Are they two doing business?"

Tofu scratched his head, turned around and said, "No, there are no people on the water surface. Damn, it wouldn't be such a heavy taste. Could it be that they are having sex under the water? How good is the physical strength." The words were a little unreliable, and Lu Su and I looked at each other and felt that something was wrong. Regardless of whether there is any relationship between the mute and the Fusang woman, it is impossible for the mute to do such an outrageous thing.What about having sex under the water? Only a careless person like Tofu can think of such a thing.

I didn't care to put on my coat, got out of my sleeping bag, and hurried out of the tent.In the setting sun, the surface of the lake was still steaming, but the vague figure had disappeared, not even the dumb figure.I immediately turned my head to look into the snow, except for the fire, it was empty.

The mute went into the water, and did not take off his clothes before entering the water.

Lu Su also noticed this, squinted his eyes, looked into the depths of the lake, and said, "Something happened." Take it off.

Tofu said anxiously, "What are you two doing?"

I said, "Go into the water and look for someone." We didn't have any change of clothes, and it would be troublesome to get wet in the snow-capped mountains, so Lu Su and I went into the water in our underpants. I brought a dagger, and Lu Su brought his Ghost Crying Knife. The two swam towards the position where the Fusang woman Yoshiko had been before.

That place is about 20 meters away from the shore, which is not too far away, but due to the transpiration of the hot spring lake, the visibility is very low. Halfway through the swim, when you turn your head and look at the people on the shore, it is already blurred.At this moment, a human head suddenly appeared on the water in front of us, and then it moved towards us.

I thought to myself, is it dumb or Yoshiko?Just as he was about to speak, Lu Su suddenly pulled out a long knife from his waist, his legs hit the water, and he floated on the spot, looking like he was ready for battle.Lu Su is a man of real ability, I didn't dare to be rash, I quickly held the dagger in my hand, and the head was getting closer and closer to us.

At this time, I can already be sure that it is not Jizi or dumb, because if it is a person swimming in the water, it will definitely show its hands, and it needs water, but it does not.

Soon, it floated in front of us, it was a human head...it was rotten and swollen, and the rotten flesh was connected to a soft eyeball, which was swinging back and forth with the water.It floated slowly past us, its eyeballs dragging in the water, turning with the current, as if watching us.I was soaking in the hot spring, but I felt a cold current rise from the soles of my feet. Lu Su didn't change his face, with a smile on his face, he chopped it off with a sharp knife, and the rotten head was instantly cut in half. It flowed out, and although it was quickly diluted by water, the feeling was disgusting enough.

How could there be a head floating in this lake?
Whose head is it?
Where are the dumb and Jizi?
These problems just popped up, and two heads popped up on the lake in front of me, but this time I saw clearly that the people who came were Dumb and Jizi, and what stunned me was that Dumb was kissing Jizi.I was bored, probably because my subconscious put him and the statement together. I was a little disgusted with his relationship with the Fusang people.

Once out of the water, the mute let go of Jizi, and I realized that Jizi had passed out, and the mute was probably giving her artificial respiration just now.When he saw Lu Su and me, he showed no surprise, and went to the shore with Jizi in his arms.

I secretly felt angry: I really don't know what is good and what is bad, Lu Su and I got into the water in a hurry, but I was worried that something happened to the two of them, and now this person has not expressed at all.After thinking about it, forget it again, it's not that I don't know what a dumb person is, and I can still expect him to put on a smiling face and say thank you for your concern?

Thinking of this, he shook his head and followed to swim to the shore.

When I got ashore, I felt very cold, so I didn't care about talking, I put on my clothes first, and only then did I have time to ask what happened.The mute glanced at the lake beside him, and said only one sentence: "I won't know until she wakes up."

Jizi choked on the water, Mengmeng begged her urgently, and spit out a lot of water, but she didn't wake up.

I said, "What happened to the head in the lake?"

Feng Guishou wondered: "Human head? What kind of head?" They were far away just now, and they probably didn't see it, so I told about a human head floating on the water, but the mute didn't show any reaction to it, and let us A bunch of people are suspicious.

Everyone put Jizi in the tent to rest. It seems that only when she wakes up will they know what happened.It was night again, and after the assignment of the vigil, everyone went to bed and slept, not daring to go near the lake anymore, only waiting for tomorrow's dawn to set off.

Tofu and I were scheduled to be on the last shift this time, but when I slept in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a scream.

The sound pierced my eardrums in the wind and snow and woke me up from a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was dark, and the bonfire outside had gone out at some point.

My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a bad feeling.
