Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 149 Arriving in Banai

Beijing Liuli Pavilion.

Mengli and the little brother had already packed their bags and were about to leave for Banai, but they were delayed by a phone call from Nanfeng.

"Brother, we still have to meet someone, and the schedule has to be postponed." Mengli hung up the phone, looked at the little brother who was carrying the black gold ancient knife, and said helplessly.

"Yeah." The little brother nodded, agreeing.

Oh, forgot to say.The black gold ancient knife was brought back by Nan Feng a month ago. The place was extremely dangerous. Although Mengli put her own blood in a small bottle to protect those guys, some guys were injured to some extent, but luckily no one was there. He left his life there and retrieved the ancient black gold knife.

Mengli, who walked into the Liuli Pavilion with her little brother, looked at Nan Feng who was walking towards her, and asked, "Where is he?"

"The propaganda room on the second floor," Nan Feng replied.

"Ah."

Mengli and her younger brother went up to the second floor and walked into the announcement room.The short-haired woman sitting inside stood up and said, "Miss Meng."

"A-Ning," Mengli smiled at her, seeing that she was well, she felt relieved.

That's right, it was Aning who wanted to see them.

"What's the matter? Are you so anxious to see us?" Mengli asked suspiciously, but she probably guessed something, but this matter needs to be told by the person concerned to be convincing.

"I have decided not to go back, because I don't want to see my teammates die one by one. And in the eyes of my boss, I am already a person who disappeared in the Queen Mother of the West." Aning said, she thought of the Xiao Qi and a few subordinates who died in Lu Palace, and Liu Tai who died for her in Devil City and Queen Mother Country of the West are enough, so she made this decision.

"So you want to come to my place?" Mengli looked at her and smiled.

Aning shook his head, noncommittal.She said: "After we came out from there, Wu Sansheng went in after resting for a few days when he recovered, and I couldn't stop him. I just waited outside for a few days, and then I saw that black blind man come out with someone. Then she took out a note from her pocket, "He gave it to me, let me give it to my little brother."

The little brother who had been silent all this time reacted when he heard it, took the note and opened it, and there were two words written on it: Banai.

"The blind man is really amazing, he still knows that we are going to Banai." Mengli looked at the note and sighed.

Sure enough... an unsolvable mystery, one ring after another!

"Why, are you going to Banai?" Aning asked.

Mengli nodded, "Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door.

Meng Li: "Go in."

"Young Master, Fatty is looking for you." Nan Feng opened the door and led an acquaintance in. "I got it, I'm going to get busy."

"Brother, sister, I found you two!" The fat man said before entering the door, "Wu Xie..." Seeing Aning, the fat man shut his mouth and looked at Mengli, "Why is she here? "

Mengli pondered for a while, then joked, "Come and join me."

"Don't you, you all believe her? Don't forget how badly she lied to us before." Seeing her accepting expression, the fat man had an unbelievable expression on his face. Indeed, he was really deceived so badly before.

"Fatty, why don't you believe her? She just had a different stand from us before, but we have lived and died together. You can't deny those facts," Meng Li said.

The fat man wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't say anything. Indeed, he couldn't deny these things, so he could only acquiesce in this state.

Seeing this, Mengli opened her mouth: "Speaking of business, what's the matter with you?"

"Hey, it's like this..." The fat man told what happened, and what Wu Xie told him, "Wu Xie asked me to take you and my brother to Banai to meet."

Mengli nodded: "Oh."

The little brother on the side had deep eyes, and always felt that something unexpected would happen this time.

After hearing this, Aning pondered for a while, and said, "I'll help you too. You saved me, and I don't want to owe others anything." Although Aning said this, she regarded them as friends in her heart. It is a fact that the Royal Palace, Xisha Undersea Tomb, Yunding Tiangong, and Xiwangmu Kingdom were born and died together.

Moreover, she also met Wu Xie, which was very inexplicable. She wanted to know whether Wu Xie still maintained her innocence after going through so many things.

After everything was agreed upon, Mengli looked at Nan Feng who was at the side: "You know what happened this time, remember to keep it secret, especially the old man, don't let him worry too much."

"Don't worry, the Patriarch is with me." Nan Feng replied.

Meng Li nodded, expressing that she understood, and then instructed: "When I am away, remember what I told you."

Nan Feng curled his lips, feeling a little helpless: "I see, how worried is Young Master?"

"Everything is unknown, how can I rest assured?" Meng Li sighed.

The two played charades, and the three people next to them naturally couldn't understand, but they didn't ask curiously. After all, curiosity killed the cat.

A group of people prepared their bags and headed for Banai.

Banai is a Yao village, located in the hinterland of Guangxi's Shiwanda mountainous area, it sounds like a remote village in the mountains.But on the way, Mengli had expectations in her heart, what would the place where the little brother lived be like?And where he lives, will there be his relatives or friends?

Mengli, Brother, Fatty and Aning first arrived in Hangzhou to meet Wu Xie. After talking about everything, they set off from Hangzhou, flew to Nanning, and then transferred to Shangsi by train.

This is not an inverted fight, they didn't bring much stuff, they were relaxed, joking around, talking about what they had and what they didn't have, like Mengli and brother, or Wu Xie and Aning.

Speaking of Wu Xie and Aning, Fatty felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit strange... strangely ambiguous.

Close to Shangsi, there are all mountains. The train passes through the caves one by one, and the mountains in the distance are surrounded by fog, which is the hinterland of Shiwanda Mountain.

The mountains in Guangxi are called Shiwanda Mountains. Hundreds of kilometers of mountains are paved in one piece. The forest area is more than 500 million mu. It is a blessed place in the cave, and it is a gathering place for immortals.However, this terrain also caused extremely inconvenient transportation. Meng Li and the others chose the train for this reason. People in the plain area may vomit as adults when they enter the hinterland of Guangxi by car.

Wu Xie looked at the mountain with a very strange mood. In the past, seeing this kind of situation often meant that he would go deep into the mountains to find some secrets buried deep in it.This time, however, their destination was only a county town in the mountains.

This feeling is very strange, I don't know whether it is disappointment or happiness, looking at the blue granite peaks and dense forest in the distance, Wu Xie always feels a little goosebumps.

When we arrived at Shangsi, we turned to Nanping and then entered Banai. We took a car and walked for a while. It was midsummer, and the scenery along the way was so beautiful that it almost melted people. Meng Li and Aning laughed like best friends.

In this way, the road was delayed for a long time, and it was already evening when we arrived in Banai. Wu Xie asked a few donkey friends to get information, and knew that Yaozhai could stay there, so he asked along the way, and asked a man named Agui. , to find a place.

Agui is in his 40s. He has two daughters and a son. They are not very old. He has two tall Yao nationality wooden buildings, one for himself and one for a hotel. He is considered a capable person in the local area and many tourists are Brought from outside.When he looked at the little brother, Wu Xie thought he would recognize him, but he didn't react at all.

Fatty told Agui about their backgrounds, he spent a lot of money, and stayed here without much haggling.Agui is quite used to them and has the style of a farmhouse owner, saying that he can help them with everything if he lives here.

The journey was tiring, and Wu Xie couldn't think of anything he needed to do. He just felt hungry and panicked, so he told him to get dinner done first.

Agui asked his two daughters to cook, and he took Mengli and the others to settle down.

Wu Xie put down his luggage on the wooden floor, wiped his body with spring water, and sat on the wooden floor with high feet. It was very cool and comfortable, and his whole body was soft. Then he watched the two slim Yao girls cooking, He suddenly felt that this was the life he wanted to live.Involuntarily, his eyes glanced at Aning, whose mouth curled up, and smiled silently.

While the meal was not ready, the younger brother pulled Mengli to ask Agui where the address that Brother Chu gave them was: "Do you know where this address is?"

"It's in the stockade, but above the stockade." Agui replied.

"Take me there." The younger brother was obviously eager and said.

"Brother..." Fatty quickly pulled the little brother aside, and said softly, "Don't worry, even though you are going to your own house, but if someone takes you there so late, and you don't have a key, what do you let people think. Anyway, we have already arrived here and have a lot of time, so we can go again tomorrow.”

The little brother nodded, and the others also agreed.

"It's too late now, if you want to go, I can take you tomorrow." Agui said.

"That place is actually the residence of a friend of ours. We are here to visit the mountains and rivers this time, and we will visit our friend by the way." Meng Li said.

"Friend?" Agui looked at her suspiciously and said, "The place you asked about has been deserted for a long time."

"Desolation? It's too much..." Mengli pretended to be particularly angry, and said a little excitedly, "My good friend who has been moving for so many years didn't even tell me!"

"That wooden building is very remote, on the hillside, and few people go there. To be honest, I have never seen the owner who lives there. I heard that it is a young man. Your friend is really mysterious." Agui said.

"That's it, so you don't know where he moved to." Meng Li said with some disappointment.

Sensing the little brother's gaze was always on her, Mengli turned her head to meet his gaze, seeing his playful eyes, seemed to say "good acting skills".

Meng Li gave him a look "I can't compare to you", and said in her heart: My little brother has lost his memory this time, but he has changed a lot, and I don't know if it is good or bad...

……

Dinner is stewed meat and sweet wine. People in Yaozhai also hunt. It is said that they eat squirrel meat. It feels weird, but the sweet wine is quite OK. The taste is sweet, and the local water is good, and the taste is very clear.

The fat man drank too much and his tongue got big, so he persuaded Agui that he was the big boss and he didn't want to leave, and asked Agui to betroth his two daughters to him, so he would work hard on the land.

Mengli looked at him with some distaste, thinking: If Yuncai is with him in the future, I will definitely use this matter to blackmail him.

Wu Xie was afraid that he would offend others by talking nonsense, so he hurriedly cleaned up the things, and together with Ah Ning helped Ah Gui's two daughters clean up, leaving the fat man alone to enjoy the cool breeze to sober up.Mengli and the little brother went out for a walk.

Aning and Wu Xie chatted with the two little girls while washing, asking about the situation in Yaozhai.

The two little girls told them that it used to be very poor here, and they didn't even have enough to eat. Later, when some people came to travel, the situation got better, like their father brought people to live at home, and the money he earned was enough to eat and drink. There is no need to go hunting in the mountains, and you can buy things that other people hunt, so that their family can support several families.

Wu Xie specifically asked about Chen Pi Asi's situation, and then asked them if there were Vietnamese here.

They said that there are Vietnamese people, but they are not in Banai, and they have to go to the mountains. There are more people here now, and they don't know whether there are Changsha people there.

After tidying up, Wu Xie shook his hands, thinking that Chen Pi Asi was really careful, he didn't even dare to stay in the village.

Aning on the side looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "What? What do you think?"

Wu Xie looked at her and smiled: "I think Chen Pi Asi and the others may have gone to Banai disguised as tourists, and the Vietnamese went straight to the forest, and they met in the mountains to trade. In this way, the things traded here are probably more expensive than ours. He thinks much more, at least Chen Pi Asi values ​​it very much. These relationships may also be the contacts he planted when he was fleeing in Guangxi."

Aning nodded, and said with a half-smile, "It seems that you understand a lot!"

After hearing this, Wu Xie just smiled and touched his head, noncommittal.

Wu Xie walked into the dining hall and was about to ask Agui for some fruit, when he saw a fat man reeking of alcohol staring at something on the side wall.

Wu Xie thought that he had drunk too much and his mind was in sedation, but he didn't expect that when he saw him, he pulled him back and said to him: "Xiao Wu, come here."

Wu Xie walked over, and Ah Ning, who followed Wu Xie into the room, also moved over. The two followed the direction the fat man gave with his eyes, and saw a photo frame hanging on the wooden wall of the dining room. With a lot of photos.

The fat man pointed to one of the photos with his chin and said, "Who are you here to see?"

I updated, this time there is no water
