Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 18 Departure

After a tiring day, everyone slept soundly, and when they woke up, they felt their joints were sore.

Mengli and the others hurriedly ate breakfast, took some dry food and set off. The big girl was very enthusiastic, and asked a child in his village to take them there. After walking for more than two hours on the mountain road, the naked child pointed to the front : "That's it!"

Wu Xie took a look. Sure enough, it was obvious that the ravine in front was washed out by mudslides. They are now standing between one mountain range and another. This canyon is very long. Once the mud and rocks washed away, coupled with the drought in the past few months, there was only a shallow stream in the middle.

The mountains on both sides are very steep, and people can't walk at all, and the river in front has been blocked by the rocks that fell from the mountain.

Wu Xie reached out and patted the bare-bottomed baby's head, and said to him: "Go back and play, help me thank you sister!"

Nawa stretched out her hand: "Here's a fifty!"

At first Wu Xie was taken aback, but after thinking about it and knowing what the child wanted, Wu Xie stared at the child.

Mengli took out 100 yuan to the child and said calmly, "Let's go!"

"Thank you pretty sister!" The child smiled at her and ran back bouncing.

The third uncle laughed out loud when he saw it, and Wu Xie reacted with an embarrassed smile: "Now the boys in this mountain are so philistine."

"People die for birds—" Pan Zi read, and the third uncle kicked him: "Are you educated? Die for birds, go die for birds!"

Seeing them like this, Mengli just smiled and said nothing.

Afterwards, they began to climb without saying a word. The rock was not considered loose, and they rolled over after a while. It was not as scary as the big girl said, but they didn't see the heads she said. In a canyon, there are gradually trees in the back, and a dense forest in the distance. I don't know how such an ecology came into being.

At this moment, they saw an old man fetching water in the canyon below the collapsed slope. Wu Xie took a closer look and thought, "Damn it, isn't it the dead old man who led us into the cave!"

Seeing them suddenly, the old man fell into the stream in fright, then got up and ran.

Pan Zi laughed and cursed: "Tell you to run." He took out his short gun and shot it into the sand in front of the old man's feet. The old man jumped up in fright and ran back again. They were all on his footprints, the old man was considered clever, when he saw that the other party was playing with him, he knew he couldn't run away.With a plop, he fell to his knees on the ground.

A few people ran downhill, and the old man kowtowed to them: "Grandpa, please forgive me. My old man really couldn't help it, so I called the attention of the grandpas. I didn't expect that the god-like figures of the grandpas really have eyes this time." I don’t know Mount Tai!” Said with snot and tears.

The third uncle asked him: "Why, I think you are full of energy, what can you do?"

"You'd better tell the truth, we have professional doctors here!" Wu Xie threatened from the side, but he didn't have any momentum.

The younger brother and Mengli stood quietly beside him, but the younger brother was indeed standing there quietly, while Mengli was watching Chen Chengcheng from the corner of his eye.

Chen Chengcheng seemed to feel her gaze, pretended to be nonchalant, then turned his head to look at her, and gave her a smirk: "Hi, beauty!"

Meng Li nodded at her, then turned to look at the old man, Chen Chengcheng didn't notice anything unusual.

"To tell you the truth, my body is really sick. Don't look at me as if I'm tough, but I actually have to take several pills every day. Look, I don't fetch water to decoct the medicine." He said Pointing to the side of the water tank.

Along the way, Wu Xie learned a lot about the sinister human heart, and the old man just taught him another lesson.

"Let me ask you, you old ghost, why did you disappear in that cave all of a sudden?" Pan Zi asked.

"If I tell you, the grandpas won't kill me?" The old man looked at us.

"Don't worry, now is a society ruled by law," said the third uncle, "Leniency is allowed for confession, and strictness is imposed for resistance."

"Yes, yes, I confess," the old man said, "it's actually not a big deal. Don't look at the hole as a straight hole. In fact, there are many holes on the top of the hole, and those holes are very secretive. , If you didn't look for it deliberately, you couldn't find it at all, so I stood up and went into the hole when you were not paying attention. After your boat left, I came out again, and the donkey ball heard my whistle, He will bring a wooden basin over, and I will go out like this, and after the matter is completed, the second boatman Lu will give me my share, but I don’t actually take much.”

He suddenly thought of something: "By the way, where is Lu's second son? It must have fallen into the hands of several masters."

Pan Zi made a beheading gesture: "He has been sent to report."

The old man froze for a moment, and then slapped his thigh: "It's good to die, actually I don't want to do that thing, the second Lu said that if I don't do it, I will do it together, everyone, you see, I can't help it, you Just let me go."

"Don't come here," said the third uncle. "Where do you live, how do you fetch water here?"

"I live there," the old man pointed to a cave next to him: "Look at me as an old man, do I have any land? My son died early and I don't have a house to live in. Now I'm just waiting to die. Poor!"

"Then you are very familiar with this area. It just so happens that we can let you go. You have to take us somewhere." The third uncle pointed to the forest, and the old man's expression changed suddenly, "My grandpa! Dare to love you are here to fight! You can’t fight that fight! There are monsters in it!”

As soon as Wu Xie heard it, he knew there was something going on, and the old man must know something.

The third uncle asked him: "Why, have you seen it?"

"Oh, a few years ago, I also took a group of people there, saying it was for archaeology. I saw that they were going to Dao Dou, but these guys are different from others. The little thieves I saw before were all Just look at the tombs, that group of people, to tell you the truth, their attitude, they are not ordinary people at first sight, they don't even look at the tombs next to them, just say they want to enter this ravine, at that time our village I was the only one who went to that place alone, those people were rich, and they gave me ten big bills at once. I was not satisfied when I saw the money, so I took them into this forest and walked until I had been there before. In that place, they still have to move forward, but I refuse! You said you can’t buy my life with ten big bills! They said give me ten more, and I said I would not give me another hundred. Fuck, they turned their backs on the other side, and put a gun to my head, there was no other way, so I had to take them inside again."

He scratched his head and continued: "Then they talked about the place, these people had fun, and then they fiddled with something there, saying that it was down here, I drank too much that night, we found I pitched a tent in a place, I fell asleep and lost all consciousness, but when I woke up, guess what, all these people were gone, everything was still there, and the fire was still on. I was scared , I yelled everywhere, but after yelling for a long time, no one answered me, I felt that something was wrong, thinking that they are not here anyway, so I will slip away, so I ran away."

The old man narrowed his eyes as if he was recalling some horrible scene, and said: "I just ran a few steps, and I heard someone calling me. For the first time, I saw a woman from their team come again." Waving at me, I was about to scold, why did no one run away early in the morning, suddenly I saw a big tree behind her, Zhang Yawu grabbed it, looked at the tree, it was okay, I saw that the tree was full of dead people hanging densely, and my eyeballs popped out. I was so scared that I peed out, and I ran back to the village after running for a day and a night. You said, this must be a tree demon, if it weren’t for the old man, I would I grew up eating solid meat, I must have been seduced by this monster."

Meng Li smiled, what the old man said was half true and half false, so he couldn't believe it all.

The third uncle sighed: "You really are a solid eater!" Then he waved his hand.Pan Zi knew how to tie up the old guy. With him leading the way, a lot of things could be saved.

The old man was absolutely unwilling, and there was nothing he could do. According to him, it would take a day to get to the place he mentioned. Mengli and the younger brother opened the way ahead. With the map and the memory of the old man, I can get there before dark.

They walked for half a day, and at first they were able to talk, but then they felt that their green eyes were blurry, and they kept yawning, wanting to sleep.

Suddenly, the old man stopped.

Pan Zi scolded: "What tricks are you playing?" The old man looked at the bushes on one side, his voice trembling: "Then, what is that?"
