Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 166 Lake

The lake is surrounded by stones, surrounded by continuous tall and steep mountains, the mountains are huge, the vegetation in the mountains is very dense, and the clouds and mists are shrouded. It looks like a picturesque landscape, like a fairyland.

The lake water is very clear, reflecting the clouds in the sky beautifully. Wu Xie and the others ran to wash their faces in the lake water. The water is cold, which means that there is an underground river at the bottom of the lake.

Agui and Yuncai set up a tent by the lake, while the others went to the other side of the lake to investigate, but found no bones.

Wu Xie was thinking that if the corpse was thrown into the lake back then, it would definitely float up, so there is a possibility that the corpse was washed ashore and was taken away by wild animals.

Mengli looked at the calm lake, and she felt very heavy when she thought about that matter, killing people and throwing away corpses, two identical archaeological teams, the head of the Zhang family, these are completely unconnected, all of these are missing one thing, which is motivation.

At night, nothing was found. At this time, everyone was tired, so they all sat in front of the campfire to eat and rest.

When everyone sat together, Fatty proposed to play a brain teaser, and even Aning joined in.

The fat man asked them: "What kind of battle is to kill one enemy and lose three thousand?"

"Hornet!" Yun Cai immediately raised his hand.

The fat man said, "Smelly girl, are you deliberately provoking me?"

Several people laughed, and Wu Xie said that it must be a battle between cavalry and tanks. The fat man said that if it was cavalry and tanks, he would not be able to kill one of them if he lost ten thousand yuan.

Then they guessed, some guessed playing poker, some guessed ants, and some guessed eating abalone. The fat man couldn't say it right, and he was triumphant, as if he was insulting their IQ.

Finally, the fat man said: "This is too easy. Hey, fat man, I am really talented. There is a gap between me and you ordinary people. I tell you, listen carefully. Killing one enemy will cost you three thousand. It is bananas and mediocrity." The fight of the elephants."

After hearing this, Wu Xie scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, the battle between bananas and elephants, what is this? How can you tell me how it is possible to kill one enemy in a fight between bananas and elephants, and you will lose three thousand?"

The fat man said, "The elephant is strangled to death."

Several people laughed into a ball, and Yun Yun couldn't breathe from the laughter, but after a few laughs, they slowly restrained themselves.

Because the little brother stood up silently when they were on their backs, walked towards the lake, and then sat far away where the bonfire could barely reach.

There was a trace of panic in Yun Cai's eyes, she looked at Wu Xie and the others: "Does he think we are too noisy?"

Mengli looked at her and smiled, comfortingly said: "It's okay, just ignore him, he is going to think about life."

Her eyes seemed to be able to see through her, Yun Yun inexplicably wanted to escape, this person was very dangerous, and she had a hunch that this person would be a major obstacle in all plans.

They were having fun, Meng Li slowly got up and walked to the little brother's side.

"Brother, there are some things... I think I should tell you." Mengli pondered for a long time before saying.

After thinking about it, Mengli felt that it was necessary for the little brother to know about this matter, or in other words, everything that followed would be changed because of him.

"Speak." The little brother said lightly.

Mengli told her little brother in detail about going back to see Panma.

The little brother's face became gloomy and he frowned, but he didn't speak.

Mengli stretched out her hand to smooth his frowning, and said, "Brother, don't force yourself, we will help you. So...you know if you want to do this." She poked the corner of his mouth with two index fingers .

The little brother was stunned for a moment, he looked at her, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing a beautiful arc, and there was a soft light in his obsidian eyes.

Now Mengli was stunned instead, brother... Are you laughing? !

Shock!Incredible!All kinds of emotions filled her heart, and Mengli never expected anything extravagantly. From the moment she saw her brother smiling, she hoped to keep his smile, even for a moment.

Yun Cai, who was walking towards them, was stunned when he saw the little brother's smile, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.He even smiled? !

"What's wrong?" The little brother looked at Mengli who was stunned and asked.

Mengli shook her head at the provocative little brother who didn't know it, then smiled helplessly, and said, "You look so pretty when you smile. You should smile more in the future."

Glancing at the clouds not far away from the corner of the eye, Meng Li stood up and smiled at her, and she smiled at her too.

Mengli intends to give Yuncai a chance to get close to her little brother, so as to facilitate the implementation of their plan.

She greeted her younger brother, and walked towards Wu Xie and the others. Just after taking a step, she heard her younger brother say in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be alone next time..."

"Ah."

Then, Yuncai sat next to the little brother, and Mengli returned to the campfire, at this time Wu Xie and the others had calmed down.

"What's the matter? I was having so much fun just now, why did it stop suddenly?" Mengli asked pretending not to know.

The fat man looked straight at the little brother, Wu Xie patted the fat man on the shoulder, and teased: "Someone is broken in love, we have to be considerate of him."

"No, I believe that little brother won't win people's love. And the girl is still here." The fat man looked at her with a slightly playful look, Wu Xie also suddenly realized, and smiled at A-Ning.

Mengli smiled awkwardly. Although she likes the younger brother, it is a matter between two people, especially because the younger brother doesn't show his emotions very much. She respects the younger brother's choice, and let everything go as it pleases.

Then, Wu Xie looked at Ah Ning's face that was reflected by the fire like warm jade, and blushed for no reason.

After waiting for a while, the fat man couldn't sit still anymore, and said strangely: "This little girl has been away for so long, she really has a lot of perseverance. In theory, she should have come back after a bump in her nose."

"Maybe my little brother just likes such a simple and cute little girl, maybe they feel that it's too late to meet each other when they see each other." Wu Xie said without fear of trouble.

"Wu Xie, don't take you to hit people like this. Don't let others have a daughter-in-law." The fat man said dissatisfiedly, "No, no, if the monsters in the lake suddenly jump out, we can't protect them , I have to protect them."

Seeing the fat man's reaction, he was really jealous. Before he went up the mountain, he specially held a meeting with Wu Xie and his brother to tell them not to compete with him for the clouds. This time, he really loves him.

Love?It is true love.

Fatty likes clouds, he really likes them.No one knows whether Yun Cai likes Fatty or not, and no one knows why Fatty likes Yun, but this liking is deeply rooted in Fatty's heart, making him unwilling to leave Banai after Yuncai's death. You should be your father-in-law, and regard the place where Yuncai lived as your home.

Looking at the two from a distance, they were sitting side by side, too far away to hear if they were talking.

The fat man went up a few steps, then stopped suddenly, and sat down. It turned out that the clouds were singing.

Several people fell silent, and the faint lake breeze brought a brisk singing, which was a song of the Yao nationality. Although the singing was very soft, we could hear it very clearly.All of a sudden, their restless and confused hearts calmed down, and they seemed to find a trace of peace in this situation, this scene, and this song.

In a daze, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly the singing stopped, Wu Xie's mood was disturbed, and he opened his eyes.

The little brother and Mengli on one side have already stood up and looked at the lake, and the dogs lying on their stomachs bored on the other side also raised their heads and looked in the same direction.

Aning has already woken up, looking at the lake vigilantly.

The fat man was still resting with his eyes closed, and Agui also felt something strange. Wu Xie patted the fat man awake, and heard the sound of the wind coming from the direction of the lake. Walking on the shallows to the shore.

The dogs all stood up and stared in that direction warily. These hounds were well trained, and none of them barked.

The fat man and Wu Xie looked at each other, Wu Xie bared his teeth at him, he pointed to the flashlight on one side and asked him to hand it to him.

Agui asked them to sit down quietly, while waving his hands to calm them down, he said lightly, "It's okay, it seems like a wild beast is licking the water."

"What kind of beast is it? It's quite big." The fat man asked softly.

Agui picked up the shotgun, told them to stay still, and groped into the darkness with bare feet.

Yun Cai followed behind. Fatty couldn't hold back when he saw that they were going to hunt, and gave them a wink. Wu Xie also wanted to go and have a look, so he followed them secretly after a few meters away.

Walking to the side of the little brother, they vaguely saw some conditions on the lake. They looked for the imaginary beast, but they couldn't find it.

Maybe this beast is just a big drinker, not a big one.They strafed with flashlights, followed the sound and searched for it, but found that the sound came from all directions, and it was rhythmic, not like an animal.

"It's not a beast, what's the sound?" the fat man said to himself.

"The sound of the tide." The little brother said.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, would such a small lake have tides?Is today's moon particularly big?Looking up, the moon is not clearly visible at all.

Agui put down his gun, and they walked towards the lake, near the waterline. Sure enough, the lake water was fluctuating rhythmically, like waves hitting the beach, but the amplitude was not large. The sound of animals licking water was the sound of water hitting stones. from.

Wu Xie looked at the rocky beach under his feet, and found that the water level had dropped, and his feet were wet, which meant that when they were playing and the clouds were singing, the water level of the lake kept dropping.From the wet line all the way to the water's edge, he found that there were at least a dozen steps, and the water level dropped drastically.

"What's going on? Is there a leak at the bottom of the lake?" The fat man put his hands together and looked out.

Wu Xie is very familiar with geography, knowing that this is a geographical phenomenon, and said to him: "This is probably a siphon effect."

"What is a siphon? Siphon Erguotou?" the fat man asked.

"This lake does seem to be connected to an underground river. There may be a larger lake connected to it nearby. Affected by tides or air pressure, the lakes here are linked. The effect is caused by the gravitational force of the moon, so the moon is also a big magnet, so the large lake must have a strong suction force, so the pressure difference between the large and small lakes will occur, the water in the small lake will be pumped into the large lake, and the water level of the small lake will drop. "Wu Xie looked up at the sky, and suddenly realized something.

No wonder they couldn't find any trace of corpses. If there is a siphon effect here, and there is a siphon tide every night, then the corpses of that year may be sucked to the center of the lake by the siphon tide.Just like the principle of a flush toilet.

Not only the corpses, but everything in the lake will be pumped to the center of the lake. No wonder he feels that there is nothing on the edge of the lake except stones.

The bottom of this lake has a large drop and is very steep. As long as it slides down, it will not be pushed back at high tide. If it was not held down by stones at that time, it must have stayed in the deepest place in the center of the lake.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. They didn't know how deep the lake was, and they didn't bring scuba. If the lake was too deep, then it could be said that they returned without success this time.

……

"Go to sleep, get enough energy tonight, we will go down tomorrow." Meng Li persuaded.

"Well, let's go here first tonight." The younger brother was the first to agree with her.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally went back to their tents to rest, but it's another story if they fell asleep or not.

I am slow to update, but I never give up, because you have been waiting.

Thank you for always silently accompanying me and waiting for my update.
