Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 423 Good News
I glanced at the corpse fairy on the bed, and immediately retreated to the door with the phone in hand, and answered the phone while observing its movements.

On the phone, Cyclops was full of energy, and his voice was full of joy, and said: "Master, great news, Dou Zi is calling, he is not dead!" I felt my hands tremble, staring at Shixian, listening to the phone call The one-eyed dragon's voice seriously doubted whether he had some hallucinations.

I only heard the one-eyed dragon chattering: "This morning, he called and said he didn't have any money with him. I transferred money to his card and helped him book a plane ticket. He has arrived by now. In the morning Called you, but there was no signal."

I took a deep breath and said, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Cyclops let out an ouch and said, "Boss, can I lie to you?"

I said, "Let him answer the phone."

The one-eyed dragon said: "No, I can't pick it up. I'm already sleeping like a dead pig, but it's true. People are lying on the bed?"

I feel that the development of things has exceeded my expectations. At this moment, I don't even feel surprised, but just feel weird.I asked, "What did he do when he came back? Did he say anything?" Cyclops thought for a while, and reported, "Yes, he ate two buckets of instant noodles, and then fell asleep."

I said, "Didn't he ask about me?"

Cyclops said: "I asked when he called me. At that time, he seemed to be in a hurry. He didn't say a few words. He hung up when he heard that you were all right. I mentioned you when I came back... I said you went to Xiangxi He's probably too tired, so he fell asleep without listening to it. Head of the house, don't worry about corpses, come back quickly, he is fine, don't make trouble."

I glanced at the corpse fairy on the bed, and said coldly: "It's too late. Wake him up and let him answer the phone."

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a Cyclops calling someone came from the phone. After a long time of grinding, I heard the sound of Tofu as if it was about to die. At this moment, I felt that my heart was filled with two emotions, one was great surprise and Stimulation, the other is to strangle him back to death after he has been 'alive'.

He yawned and said, "Old Chen, I haven't seen you for over a month, I miss you so much."

I said, "I miss you too, I want to kill you, I want to strangle you to death,"

Tofu seemed to wake up a little bit, and said: "I heard from Cyclops that you thought I was dead, and you have been sad for a long time. You will not be willing to strangle me to death. You will not be able to scare me with this sentence in the future." Rushing to the forehead, he said coldly through the phone: "You better give me an explanation, what's going on, and where have you been this month?"

Tofu heard that my tone was wrong, and said quickly: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean it either. It's a long story."

I said, "Let's make a long story short."

There was a slapping sound from the tofu side, probably slapping his face, and then he became much more energetic and told me roughly what happened afterwards.In Tofu's words, he himself is confused.After the corpse fairy captured him, he flew up along the ice cave, and when he passed Zhao Erye's corpse, he held the tofu in one hand and the corpse in the other, opened his mouth and began to suck on Zhao Erye, and all he sucked was left The next piece of skin was thrown on the ice wall with a flick of his hand.

At that time, being in the sky, being caught by the corpse fairy, and witnessing the process of smoking, how could the little tofu bear it, and he was so frightened that he fainted.He didn't know much about what happened next. When he woke up, he was awakened by a sharp pain.

Tofu was suddenly awakened by the pain, and couldn't help screaming and opened his eyes, only to find that there was a piece of green in front of him, which was no longer in the snow mountain.He looked up and saw that the surrounding vegetation was dense, and there were blue mountains in the distance. There was no sign of snow peaks at all, and it seemed that he was far away from the Xuelong Mountains.

The moment he woke up, Tofu was still a little dazed, he didn't think of the corpse fairy for a while, until he realized that the surrounding environment was not right, and he felt the sharp pain in his leg, and then realized that he was caught by the corpse fairy.The image of the corpse fairy sucking Zhao Erye flashed in his mind, his scalp went numb for a while, and when he turned his head, the corpse fairy was standing behind him impressively.

As for the severe pain in the legs, according to Tofu's own guess, it was probably because the corpse fairy threw the tofu down when it fell to the ground.When Tofu saw the corpse fairy, he was so scared that he almost peed out. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but his legs hurt sharply, as if they were broken, and he couldn't hold on after crawling two steps on the ground.

But at this moment, the dead-faced corpse fairy squatted down, staring straight at him.

Tofu cried out in fright, and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa Shixian, please spare your life, don't eat me, it's not me who destroyed your tomb, it was other people in the cave, if you don't catch so many people, why are you arresting me?"

The corpse fairy didn't answer him, and still maintained a dull expression. Tofu thought he was going to die this time, begging for mercy repeatedly, and said all kinds of shameless words. That look.

Tofu swallowed his saliva, and countless thoughts turned in his mind.

Why doesn't this corpse fairy speak?
Why doesn't this corpse fairy eat me?
How is it like a wooden man?
What does it want to do?
The tofu couldn't move, the pain eroded his nerves, he curled up into a ball, carefully observing the corpse fairy, just like that, from daytime to sunset.Finally Tofu felt something was wrong, he thought: Is there something wrong with this corpse fairy?Thinking of this, he cautiously stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the corpse fairy.

The corpse fairy's eyeballs moved with his palm, which proved that the corpse fairy was alive, but other than that, the corpse fairy still had no other movements, just like a wooden man.The sky gradually darkened until it was completely dark. The corpse fairy did not move, and Tofu was also tortured by the pain in his legs. He thought his legs might be broken.Then came a series of associations: amputation, wheelchair, not being able to marry a wife, having to get help to go to the bathroom, being ridiculed by people around, and finally being rejected by me, and then living on the street begging...

My face turned dark when I heard that, and I said, "Get to the point."

Tofu said: "That's the point! At that time, I was in the barren mountains, I couldn't move my legs, I was cold and hungry, and the bugs in the grass were crawling around on my body. I was in pain and wanted to die, and there was a corpse fairy next to me." , I didn’t want to live anymore, I wanted to commit suicide, you know!”

I said, "Then why didn't you commit suicide?"

"Afraid of pain."

I forced myself to calm down, looked at the dead corpse, decided to change the subject, and said, "Let's skip to the part about your suffering, what happened next?"

According to the later description, it rained heavily that night. Under the circumstances at that time, Tofu knew that his chances of being alive might not be many. Even if he really wanted to die, he should make himself feel better before he died, so he crawled I went to shelter from the rain under a big tree.

And following his movements, the corpse fairy also started to follow him. Although Tofu didn't know what was going on, he could vaguely understand that the corpse fairy should not move him for the time being.

Then it was pitch black, and it rained heavily all night in the darkness. Tofu developed a high fever. Even at dawn, he just lay on the ground. In his words, he was waiting to die.The corpse fairy has been standing by the side, from night to day.As time passed, the day turned into night again, and Tofu was almost half-breathed, lying on the ground waiting to die.He stared blankly at the wood-like Corpse Fairy next to him, and said weakly: "You can kill me, let me die happily."

The corpse fairy ignored him.

Tofu said: "I see. It turns out that the corpse fairy has no brains. There were four people at that time. Why did you arrest me? Could it be because I am handsome? Damn...you are a corpse fairy, a thousand-year-old rice dumpling, Being gay isn't for you."

In the end, the night turned into day again, and for two whole days and two nights, I had nothing but licked some dew on the grass and ate a few grasshoppers that came by themselves.Tofu felt that the place where he was lying now was his grave.

I asked him to omit the process of suffering, but this kid didn't omit it at all, as if I suffered a lot, but I survived with strength, and you must know my legendary experience.

In the end, the body couldn't bear the tofu and passed out.The last time he passed out, the corpse fairy was still standing beside him like a log.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed. It turned out that he was found and rescued.

The one who rescued him was Sheng Miao. There are very few Sheng Miao in modern times. They retain a very primitive Miao tradition and cannot speak Chinese. Due to these two reasons, the location of Sheng Miao is usually in a very remote mountain. .

It's a really impoverished place with no roads, no electricity, no TVs, no refrigerators, everything is ancient.This is definitely not an exaggeration. People who have never really been to the depths of the mountains may find it hard to imagine that such places still exist in China today.

In fact, there are many such places, and most of them are located in the areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. These areas have mountains and rivers, majestic and strange souls, and with their majestic mountains and rivers, they resist civilization step by step.Of course, civilization will one day overcome the natural environment, but at least not yet.

In modern times, there are still many such places, and this is definitely not an exaggeration.

The person who rescued the tofu was an old man named Shengmiao. Since he couldn't speak Chinese, the two could only rely on gestures.The Miao people have their own medical theory, commonly known as Miao medicine. In the days that followed, Tofu spent time recuperating in that impoverished place. As for whether his leg was broken, he didn't know. Anyway, he could barely get out of bed and walk for half a month.

During this period, Tofu suddenly discovered that the corpse fairy hadn't left yet. '

Described in the words of tofu, it is a piece of wood that can walk and move.But the expression on its face is fixed, it can't speak, and it doesn't seem to think.

After contact, Tofu knew that it should not hurt itself for the time being.
