Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 424 Wood
Since there is no entertainment in Shengmian stockade, and the language is not fluent, during the recuperation period, only Shixian stood by his bed like a puppet, and Tofu began to talk to Shixian: "Xiao Pu, can you speak? Why are you following me?"

"Are you a fool?"

"Hahaha, I see, you want to be the door god, right?"

"Hey, do you think my legs can still be good? People here can't speak Chinese, and they don't even have electricity. Have you seen that the clothes they wear are very few colors, and the cloth looks like it was woven by themselves. What does this mean? It means that they never come out of the mountain. It's over, what should I do if I'm crippled and they don't come out of the mountain again?"

"Xiao Pu, can you give me a little reaction? Are you a log?"

"Wu Mu, can't you fly? I'll tell you my address, can you take me back to fly? I live in the Antique City of SZ City, Guangdong Province..." Of course, the corpse fairy didn't give him any response.The existence of the corpse fairy and its strange appearance naturally aroused the curiosity of others, but since the two sides did not understand each other's language, there was no need to use tofu to make up lies.When eating, the old man Shengmiao was worried about the legs of the tofu, so he usually delivered it to the room.

Tofu is particularly grateful for this. Although the two cannot communicate, their expressions are regardless of ethnicity. They express their positions with kindness and gratitude.

On this day, the old man brought in another meal, and the meal was two portions. When the old man left, the bean curd was ready to eat with chopsticks. I can’t eat anymore, I’m exhausted all by myself, I feel like I’m getting fat again, will I still be able to get in through the thieves?”

On the one hand, he was preparing to eat, but when he was about to serve the bowl, the corpse fairy, who had been motionless all this time, suddenly stretched out his hand and put his hand directly into the bowl.The porridge was cooked that day, and the complexion of the tofu changed.

Of course, the main thing is to be scared.

For a long time, the corpse fairy has never had any other unnecessary movements except standing guard. This sudden movement made Tofu think that it is not wood. If it is not wood, then it has to eat people?Tofu watched Shixian soak his hands in the porridge, his eyes were straight, he was trembling with fright, and stammered: "Mu... Mu, ah, no, Brother Shixian, Grandpa Shixian, we have something to say Speak well, don't touch your hands."

Shixian still maintained that movement, his eyes rolled slightly, staring at the bowl of porridge.Tofu was worried for a long time, but when he saw that the corpse fairy didn't respond, he understood that the corpse fairy wanted to eat, so he took another bowl of porridge tremblingly and said, "Eat, I will watch while you eat, and I will eat it." Is it okay to eat the leftovers? That... can I have two slices of that bacon?"

When the bowl of porridge was brought to the corpse fairy's mouth, it still didn't respond. However, at this moment, Tofu suddenly discovered something that made people's scalp tingle. , It actually crawled strips of black things, looking carefully, it turned out to be very small bugs, as if they crawled from the porridge to the hands of the corpse fairy.Thinking of what I usually eat, let alone how disgusting the scene is.

At this moment, the corpse fairy slowly retracted his hand, put it to his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and slowly licked the insect on his hand into his mouth, chewed it, squeaked it, chewed it again, squeaked it again , The tofu almost vomited.

The corpse fairy's hands were pitch-black, but the Hanfu feather robe and the wide sleeves usually kept his hands inside, so no one noticed. The corpse fairy naturally didn't move the change of clothes that the old man sent.The old man must have felt strange, but he couldn't speak the language, and he couldn't communicate. In addition, the corpse fairy didn't look like a bad person, and he stayed at home. He didn't do anything strange, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

At this moment, the old man Sheng Miao suddenly entered the room, with a nervous expression on his face, pointing at the two bowls of porridge, anxiously gestured for a meal, as if asking if the tofu had eaten, the tofu shook his head, Only then did the old man heave a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, with a tiger's face, he pulled a girl in from outside.

Tofu knows this girl, the Miao people here are very simple, and outsiders who are injured come here, so they have come to visit more or less, this girl is the most diligent in seeing.He has thick hands and big feet, some burns on his face, and his face is ugly.But she is very fond of tofu, and often brings some food over. Tofu has a good impression of her. Since she doesn't know her name, she calls her 'Sister Miao Miao'.

Tofu felt strange, why did the old man drag her in angrily?
Miao Miao covered her face and cried, while the old man was reprimanding her fiercely. Tofu didn't know why, and lay on the bed anxiously trying to persuade her to fight.Immediately afterwards, the old man immediately removed the batch of meals, and when Miao Miao left the room, she looked guilty and bowed her head sadly, as if she had done something wrong.

Tofu thought about it and couldn't figure out which song it was singing.

When I heard this, I said, "Sheng Miao is good at Gu, and most of the bugs in the porridge are Miao Gu. According to the situation you described, it is very likely that Miao Miao laid Gu on you and was discovered by the old man."

Tofu asked suspiciously, "Why did she trick me?"

I thought to myself that this kid is stupid, I don't need to ask, among the three Gus of the Miao family, there is lovesickness Gu, it is said that if a woman likes a certain man, but the other party doesn't like her, she can use this Gu, once The other party has been hit by this Gu, and they can't help but love the person who went up and down the Gu.

That Miao Miao probably fell in love with tofu, so she cast a Gu, but the old man found out, so that's why she did it at that time.I told Doufu all kinds of conjectures, Tofu was silent for a while, and said: "It's probably what you said." He didn't know what he was thinking, so he fell silent.I guess he was thinking about Miao Miao, and after waiting for a while, he reminded: "What happened later."

Tofu came back to his senses, so he continued.

The old man Shengmiao did not know what kind of medicine he had used. About half a month later, the tofu could go to the ground, but he couldn’t travel for a long time, so he had to take up time to stay and help the old man with the work at hand in the yard on weekdays, peeling and peeling corn or something.

During this period, the corpse fairy has been following him, wherever he goes, and he has never seen anyone else harmed.I thought that the corpse fairy suddenly reacted to the Gu insects, probably because he still had the instinct to devour poison, so he rescued the tofu by accident.

But why this corpse fairy is like this, Tofu can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out either.

However, according to his description, I guess this corpse fairy will not cause any harm for the time being. It is probably like what Mr. Chen said, whether it will harm the living depends on the corpse fairy's mood.But now I doubt whether this corpse fairy has a heart.

Everything that followed went with the flow. Tofu's injury was better, so he took the corpse fairy to wander around the stockade, and met many sisters and sisters. So many thoughts, so tofu is very popular. Of course, the corpse fairy behind him is more popular in appearance, but it is a pity that he is silent, angry and laughing, so the girls are bumping into walls everywhere, and in the end it is as if the corpse fairy does not exist. up.

After a long time, Tofu also got used to the corpse fairy. He felt that his injury was almost healed. Before going to bed, he said to the corpse fairy: "Mu, let's go back in the next two days. Call the nearest village and let Lao Chen Come to pick us up. Old Chen, do you remember that when you climbed out of the coffin, the one in black clothes shot you with a few small throwing knives. I think you are quite self-conscious. If you don’t kill people, you will It’s an advantage not to pick up girls, but let me tell you, don’t follow me all the time, I’m a human, and you’re a corpse. Although we have developed a good friendship during this time, you are not suitable for our world, you still Go back to the coffin and lie down, I will see you tomorrow when I am free."

The corpse fairy didn't respond.

Tofu stared at it and said, "If you don't refuse, you agree."

Seeing that the corpse fairy didn't respond, Tofu sighed, knowing that this was an ignorant piece of wood, and it didn't make sense, and he was afraid that he would still follow him when he was on the road.While worrying about how to get rid of this follower, he thought about how to thank the folks here when he went back, and fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up the next day, he suddenly discovered that the door god who stood beside his bed every night had actually disappeared.

This is something that has never happened before.

Did it go out to harm people?Tofu's heart skipped a beat, he lifted the quilt, turned over and rushed out the door. The village was still peaceful, but the corpse fairy didn't follow, and the people around felt strange, and asked him with gestures, why the people around you disappeared.

Tofu didn't know how to explain it, so he searched around the village by himself, but there was no trace. Finally, he realized: I am looking for it for Mao?The corpse fairy left by himself, isn't it playing into his hands?Thinking about it this way, he accepted it calmly, said goodbye to the folks who had grown seedlings that day, and walked out of the mountain with dry food.

After walking for two days and one night on the big mountain, Tofu realized that he was still in Yunnan, but the location was shifted from the northern Xuelong Mountains to the south.He had all his documents with him, but he didn't have a bank card, only cash, and not enough to buy a plane ticket, so he asked Cyclops for help.

After I heard it, I said, "The corpse fairy is here now."

Tofu was taken aback, then said, "Are you kidding me?"

I said, "It seems to be staring at me."

Tofu gasped and said, "Did it attack you?"

"No."

The other side of the tofu was silent for a while, and said: "I know it better, listen to me, don't compete with it, it will not take the initiative to hurt people."

I said: "I see."

Tofu asked again: "Where are you now? When will you be back?"

That's all for Lu Su to arrive, but Mr. Chen lives in the courtyard and no one is looking after him, so I can't just leave like this, so I let Tofu stay in the shop by itself, and go back after finishing the business here.

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the drenched corpse and felt a bit of a headache, so I just ignored it and made a bed on the floor by myself, and slept until dawn.
