Tomb Raider: The Young Captain Mojin

Chapter 24 Poisonous Snake Cave, Big Brother

Wu Xie is from the south and knows more about the mongoose than Lisa and the others.

"Miss Boss, it's not easy for meerkats to survive in this place."

"That's right, that guy is afraid of the cold, and he might freeze to death. So the people in the village raised the snake mongoose. I heard that it took many years to adapt to the climate here. Now, it is estimated that there are thousands of snakes. The head snake mongoose often haunts around the village."

Wu Xie chuckled and said, "Miss Boss, we've been walking for several hours, and I'm a little hungry. You can help us prepare and order meals. Come with a plate of special dishes. We're not short of money."

As Wu Xie said, he took out 1000 yuan and put it on the counter.

The proprietress saw that the money was wide open, and immediately put the money into it, and smiled brighter, "Okay, I'll let the child's father prepare the meals. Our big goose stew in an iron pot is a must. You sit down first, and I will serve it to you." Make tea with fresh Shanliqing, it’s delicious.”

The proprietress turned around and went to the backyard. Wu Xie said in a low voice, "This old Guo has a problem. Others dare not go by water, but he is the only one who dares to go. He must have his own unique method."

Maya interjected, "Didn't the proprietress say that he has a big snake mongoose, as big as a little fox?"

Wu Xie said, "No matter how powerful Brother Big Meng is, he is only a meerkat. How many poisonous snakes can he deal with? You grow up in the north, and you don't often see meerkats. It is not as easy for a meerkat to deal with big snakes as you think. Sometimes it takes a few Meerkats work together to eliminate and eat poisonous snakes."

While talking, several people walked back to the table outside, and told Wu Sihua and others about the situation.

The little brother was still silent, Wu Sihua didn't say anything after listening, and got up to look at the big lake and Panlong mountain in the distance.

In the distance, the lake and mountains are the same color, and the huge dragon's head towers into the clouds, surrounded by mist.

Seen from this side, the back of the dragon head of Panlong Mountain is as steep as a knife, and it is impossible to climb at all.

Only by crossing the waterway to the other side can you go up the mountain.

The waterway poisonous snake cave mentioned by the proprietress is at the dragon neck behind the dragon head.

Pass through the waterway poisonous snake hole, and you can reach the front of the dragon head.

That's where Lisa's father and the others disappeared.

The proprietress quickly served some small dishes, because it was only eleven o'clock, and there were few people in the village, so no other guests came to the door.

Wu Xie took the proprietress to chat.

"Miss Boss, are there any legends here? For example, immortals descending to earth or ascending through tribulation."

The proprietress pulled a stool and sat down and said, "There is no shortage of ghost stories and legends in the mountains.

I heard from the elders that Panlong Mountain has a lot of aura, and there have been Taoist priests making alchemy in the mountain since ancient times.

When our village was first established, Taoist priests often passed by here.

But it’s strange to say that although Taoist priests often come and go, I’ve never seen a Taoist temple on Panlong Mountain, so you’re not surprised.”

Wu Sihua turned his head suddenly, but did not speak.

He thought to himself, it seems that he guessed right.

There are Taoist priests in the mountains but no Taoist temples. Those Taoist priests must be secretly refining the elixir of immortality.

Thinking of this, Wu Sihua couldn't help thinking of the giant poisonous centipede and the flying centipede in the Pingshan fairy palace.

Grandma's.
God knows if the Alchemy Immortal Palace here has other strange spirit beasts besides a large number of poisonous snakes.

Da Panzi smiled and said, "Miss Boss, besides these, are there any other legends?"

The proprietress looked around and said in a low voice, "I heard from the head of the family that several corpses floated out of the poisonous snake cave a few days ago. They were all dry corpses. I don't know how many years old they are."

A wave flashed in the little brother's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did those corpses go?"

"I heard that it was burned by people led by the village head, so I didn't let it go out. I said it was because I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble."

Lisa's heart moved, it seemed that they had found the right place.

Those mummified corpses were most likely the buried corpses that floated out of the tomb after their father opened the tomb.

Wu Sihua suddenly interjected, "It's nothing unusual to have dead bodies in the mountains, maybe they were poachers from the past few years."

The proprietress smiled and looked at Wu Sihua, "This kid knows a lot. Our place is at the border of the two countries. Let alone the past, poachers often appear even now."

Wu Xie chuckled, "Miss Boss, don't pay attention to him, this guy is just a villain, with a beard on his face, it's no different from an old man. Let me ask you, have you seen a group of people a month ago, among them there may be "Foreigner"

Wu Xie asked a question that Lisa and the others were concerned about, and they immediately looked at the proprietress.

The proprietress recalled for a while and said, "We often see foreigners here. Those old men sometimes come to our place to play, but they usually go back soon."

In the eyes of ordinary people, foreigners all look alike, and it is hard to tell whether they are Americans or Russians.

This lady boss is no exception.

Wu Xie wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Da Panzi, who motioned him not to follow up with the question, so as not to show his feet.

In fact, Wu Xie also played a shot if he had a date or not.

The fathers of Lisa and the others are experienced and have clear goals, so it is likely that they have not settled in this village.

A few people were chatting, and the delicious big goose had been stewed and brought up, and the mouths of those who ate it were full of oil, shouting that it was delicious.

I have been drilling in the deep mountains and old forests for several days, and I am tired of eating convenience food roasted rabbit meat every day.

After drinking and eating, Wu Xie and Da Panzi found the proprietress again.

"Miss Boss, can we go and see Mr. Guo's mongoose?"

The proprietress chuckled, "You young people are really curious, what's so interesting about Brother Dameng?"

Wu Xie said, "None of them have ever seen a mongoose, and they want to open their eyes."

The proprietress pointed to the southwest corner of the village and said, "Guo Laomon's house is in the southwest corner of the village. The one with the most dilapidated house has an ivy tree in front of the door. Guo Laomon is not married, only one elder brother, and the two brothers are a pair." You're a bachelor, you're not doing well."

Da Panzi asked, "Old Guo is dead, is his boat still there?"

"Yes. No one touches his broken boat. It's parked on the shore not far from the Viper Cave. Children often shit on the bed."

Wu Xie chuckled and said, "Okay, it's hard to come here, let's go wander around the village."

Several people put their bags on their backs, talking and laughing all the way towards Guo Laohan's house.

Occasionally met pedestrians on the road, and no one paid much attention to them.

It seems that although this village is remote, donkey friends often come here to play.

Guo Laohan’s house is indeed very dilapidated.

In the two old tile-roofed houses, the skin of the wall bricks has peeled off.

On the right side of Guo Laomon's house, there is a courtyard with three tile-roofed houses, which looks better than Guo Laomon's house, and it should be his elder brother's house.

Several people stood by the side of the road and waited, and Da Panzi went up to knock on the door of Brother Guo's old mongoose's house.

"Is anyone there? Is there anyone in there?"
