Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 626

A few of us flashlighted, and soon arrived in front of the wooden door. This time, the door was bolted from the inside, and Tofu slammed: "Open the door, open the door, if you don't open it, we will smash it." The inside was opened, and the bearded man didn't seem surprised at all, and then asked in a weird tone, "How do you want to smash it?"

Tofu retracted the hand that was raised in mid-air, and said with a smile, "It's just a joke."

The bearded man said, "Come in." He motioned us to enter the door sideways.I was surprised in my heart. Since we had doubts about this person's identity before, the five of us have not been very polite to this bearded man.It stands to reason that he definitely doesn't like us now, and he will probably take the opportunity to provoke us, but I didn't expect this person to let us in without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, he re-inserted the bolt, pointed to the open space beside him, and said, "You can sleep there. In this room, those things don't dare to disturb you. Go to sleep." As he spoke, he lay down on the bed by himself. On the bed, the dark quilt was pulled off and covered, and he didn't intend to tell us more.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Obviously, what I saw with Tofu before, this beard is clear.At this time, the lazy guy who had been vigilant relaxed, yawned, and said lightly: "We won't stay in this place for long, it doesn't matter what it is, rest early, and we have to hurry tomorrow." I fell asleep against the wall, lying comfortably on the ground, and closed my eyes all of a sudden.

It was the middle of the night, everyone was exhausted during the day, and they were all very sleepy. Seeing that the bearded and lazy people were all asleep, the four of us couldn't stand the tofu, so we yawned and said, "Forget it." , This man must have lived here for a long time, he has been fine, what can we do if we stay for one night. The lazy guy is right, anyway, it's just one night, just let it go, don't think so much. "

The only vent in this wooden house is the simple chimney. Although there is a window, it is also bolted at night, so inside the wooden house, you can't see the outside situation at all.Except for Mr. Hu who still couldn't let go, the big yellow duck and tofu were looking for a place to sleep.

Finally unable to hold back the drowsiness, Master Hu also fell asleep.

The wooden house was very quiet. Just when I was almost falling asleep, there was a rustling sound from outside the door, as if some animals were running around outside.The sound woke up the vigilant slob and I immediately.Master Hu hadn't fallen asleep at all, and was the first to turn over and sit up.As for the big yellow duck and tofu, they are still sleeping soundly.

In the darkness, Master Hu turned on the flashlight, and the three of us looked at each other without saying much, and looked at the door at the same time.At this moment, the rustling sound had turned into a squeak, as if something was scratching at the door.

I lowered my voice and said, "Is there an animal outside, or..."

Mr. Hu shook his head slightly, and said, "I'll go and have a look." He didn't go to the door, but to the window beside him, holding a gun in his hand.Lazy and I got up with flashlights and watched his actions.Just as he opened the embolus, a strange voice suddenly came from behind us: "Assistant."

Mr. Hu paused for a moment, then turned around, and Lazy and I turned our heads at the same time, only to see that the bearded man had sat up from the bed, his eyes were burning in the dim light, and he looked very angry.He said: "Before dawn, the doors and windows are not allowed to be opened."

Mr. Hu immediately asked back: "Why? What's outside the door?" To be honest, this wooden house doesn't look solid, at best it can shelter from the wind and rain. If there are any beasts attacking, it is impossible to support it, and I am afraid of random impact Twice and it will collapse.

It wasn't very loud outside, so I figured it wasn't any big animals, either viberas or something.If it's a fox badger, the bearded man doesn't have to be so angry at all. What's going on outside the door?

At this time, Tofu and the big yellow duck were also tossed by our movements. After asking about the cause and effect, Tofu boldly walked to the door, wanting to observe the outside through the thin crack of the wooden door.After looking at it for a long time, Tofu said: "It's pitch black, I can't see anything."

The bearded man's face was covered by his beard, and except for the emotion in those eyes, his expression could hardly be seen.Tofu said nothing, but the bearded man said coldly: "Because the one who scraped the door is not an animal, of course you can't see it."

Tofu nana said: "It's not an animal, could it be a ghost?" His expression changed suddenly, probably because he remembered the bald boy he saw before.The bearded man didn't answer this rhetorical question, but stared at Tofu with burning eyes. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed like a tacit agreement.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "If you want to go out, I will not stop you, but if you go out, don't even try to come in, and you will be responsible for the consequences." His Chinese accent was still very strange, and after he finished speaking, he lay down on the bed again, with his back to We really don't care.

Tofu was timid, so he said: "What if there is a ghost? Anyway, we will only stay for one night. It is better to have one more thing than one less thing. Let's leave it alone and go to sleep." The big yellow duck picked out his ears and said bluntly: " You can fall asleep with such a loud movement? And don’t you think it’s strange? The sound doesn’t sound like scratching a board, but like scratching some kind of porcelain.”

I didn't notice this detail, but when he reminded me, I couldn't help listening to the voice carefully, and there was indeed a difference.

Tofu looked at his watch and said, "It's three o'clock now, and it will be dawn in two more hours. I said it's better not to cause trouble." Big Yellow Page clicked his tongue, saying why he is so timid, he is still not a man.Tofu was so excited, he immediately said, "Grandpa Dou, I am a pure man, damn it, I will show you today, what is..." As he said that, he walked towards the door, and I still Before he could stop it, he slammed the latch and pulled the door open.

The big yellow duck opened its mouth, as if it hadn't expected that tofu would be so easily stimulated, and was speechless for a while with its eyes wide open.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of mountain wind blew in, and the sound of scratching things dissipated immediately. I quickly pulled the tofu back, fearing that something dangerous would rush in from outside the door, so I turned on the flashlight. When I looked outside, there was nothing there.

At this moment, the bearded man's voice sounded, and he said in a gloomy voice, "Get out!" The voice was not very polite, and when Tofu saw that there was no danger, he curled his lips and said, "Go out, then go out." run outside.I felt a little bit in my heart, knowing that although Tofu usually messes around, he still knows the seriousness, and he will not be ambiguous about major matters. Under such a weird situation tonight, why did he behave like this?Is there any accident?
I looked at the figure of Tofu rushing out, worried that something would happen to him, and immediately chased after him. When the rest of the people saw this situation, they naturally stopped staying in the house and immediately chased him out.Tofu ran extremely fast, but he didn't turn on the flashlight, so he ran about a hundred meters, fell suddenly, and let out a wail.

I immediately caught him, twisted him up from the ground, and cursed: "You boy, what are you doing?"

Tofu was out of breath, looked at the three people chasing up behind me, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank God, I finally escaped."

He used the word escape, which confused me for a while.But at this moment, I also understand that Tofu should have his own intentions in doing this.

I said: "What's going on?"

Just as Tofu was about to speak, the three lazy people also gathered around, calm and composed, but Master Hu frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Tofu's unruly behavior.Tofu was stared at by him, and said with a dry smile: "Don't stare at me, if I don't run out, you are probably still staying in that grave."

"Grave?" Lazy said the word lightly, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the way we came.

Tofu nodded and said: "Yes, there is no wooden house at all. That area is a cemetery. We were entertained by a ghost. If we don't come out of that house before dawn, we may have to stay with him."

The big yellow duck was surprised and said: "Really? But, we found that wooden house yesterday afternoon, before the sun went down. I know, there is a saying that ghosts cover the eyes, but it can only be after dark, you boy Is it nonsense?"

Ghost-covered eyes refers to ghosts covering people's eyes. In this way, people will see many false images, such as seeing graves as houses and bones as people.In folklore, there are many stories about scholars who go to the farmhouse to spend the night on a night trip, only to wake up the next day and sleep in the cemetery. In fact, it is the ghost covering the eyes.

Tofu rolled his eyes and said, "Who says there are no ghosts when there is sun? Yesterday at sunset, it was the time when yin and yang converged, and it was the time of day when living people and ghosts coexisted, so that wooden house was basically fake."

The big yellow duck was quite surprised and said: "Oh, brother, I can't tell. I thought you could only tell jokes, but I didn't expect you to know so much. Then how did you know that we are in the grave?"

I knew in my heart, how could Tofu understand these things, it should be caused by the corpse fairy's memory, and the fusion of memories allowed Tofu to know a lot of knowledge that did not belong to him.When Tofu was questioned by the big yellow page, I was at a loss for words for a while. I knew it was inconvenient for him to tell the truth, so I smoothed things over and said, "Forget it, that wooden house is weird. Whether it's a grave or not, I don't want to go back. Let's go back." Let's camp."

Not giving everyone a chance to say more, I winked at Tofu, and the two of them went to the place where they camped before.
