Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 182 The Uninvited Guest

Next, they were going to enter the ancient village and carefully inspect the situation of the Zhangjialou.But at this juncture, all the oxygen cylinders are exhausted and must be replaced.

Coincidentally, when the diving was completed on the last day and we were about to go ashore and return, something happened to the lake.

At that time, they were still in the middle of the lake. As soon as they came up, the fat man greeted them, wiped his face, and pointed to the shore.

Wu Xie looked towards the shore, and found that not only Yun Cai and the others, but also many people appeared, and they were actually building tents.

"What's going on?" Fatty asked strangely, "This place has become a tourist attraction? Why are there people here again?"

Wu Xie took a few breaths, observed carefully, and found that many of the people who came were villagers from the village, Yun Cai was chatting with them, and some of them were dressed very urban, and their origins were unknown.More men were coming down the path they had come, leading many mules covered with packs.

Wu Xie didn't know any of this group of people, probably because the second uncle had returned.

Mengli and Aning on the bank waved at them, as if to make them hurry up.

When they swam back to the shore, Wu Xie felt that things were a little weird, because those people brought a lot of mules and a lot of things in large and small bags.

Several big tents had already been set up, and the rocky beach was busy. A few people just looked over with a little surprise, and no one paid much attention to these few people who came out of the water.

They didn't know how to react at all. When they walked to the side of Yuncai and Agui, Wu Xie suddenly saw a man, the guy with a Beijing accent and short stature whom he met at Papa Panma's house, who was yelling at the villagers who were porters to do it. Do this and that, with a domineering look on his face.

He has seen this kind of person a lot on the road, and remembering what he heard at the time, he should have come here with a Beijing boss, so these people may have been brought by that Beijing boss.

Could it be that they also asked about Papa Panma's story, and are planning to come here to find something?There are too many people!

When he saw them, he had met them once, so he greeted them.

Wu Xie didn't bother to think too much, returned the salute, passed by him, returned to their tent, and asked, "What's going on?"

"A big boss hired them to move things here, and I don't know the specifics of those people." Aning replied, but among the people who came here, there were people she knew. She was a little suspicious at first, but Mengli had given After she gave her affirmative answer, it was that person.

This situation is rather embarrassing, Wu Xie doesn't want things to develop like this, but this lake is owned by the public, and you can't say that you won't let others come.The target of this group of people is that kind of a few pieces. He doesn't know whether they know the truth about the iron piece, or if they are just for redemption, so they can't make countermeasures.

There was a steady stream of people, and six or seven tents were set up, and all of them spoke a Beijing accent, which made Wu Xie feel in a daze that he had come to Houhai.

Wu Xie sat down, rested and watched them work vigilantly.

Wu Xie saw a bunch of professional diving equipment, probably because they also knew the origin of the piece of iron on Panma, and were also very interested in it, so they came here to explore and explore, and the number of people and tents is also increasing , it seems that this boss is not only rich, but also has a lot of face.

"They came prepared." The fat man snorted, "They know there is something under the water."

Wu Xie thought about it for a while, and said to the fat man, "Could it be that some old man in Beijing came here to buy goods? Do you recognize those people?"

The fat man said: "There are a lot of dealers in Beijing. Few in Panjiayuan went to the field in person. I think it is unlikely. These people can't be from the forty-nine city. I think they may be people we don't know. .These days, there are new forces everywhere.”

"You have a lot of contacts in Beijing. Look, do you know one or two?" Wu Xie asked again.

The fat man shook his head, "I don't see anyone with a hot face, let me take a closer look, but the Beijing accent of these people is a bit strange. Wait, you fat man, I'll ask and see if I can find out who their boss is .”

Fatty walked towards the busy camp and greeted one of them in Beijing dialect, but the man ignored him.What kind of character is Fatty?Immediately followed, and they walked away.

"Hey, Mengli, do you know any of them?" Wu Xie suddenly remembered that there was a young head of the Liuli Pavilion next to him, and he must know many people.

Mengli looked at the group of people and nodded: "I know. People from Jude Kao."

"Jude Kao? Where did you hear it?" Wu Xie was thinking about it, when suddenly the little brother behind him squeezed his shoulder, and heard him whisper: "Look."

Wu Xie turned her attention back to the camp, trying to see if there was anything unusual there, but found another group of people came from the woods on the other side, and one person was helped off the mule.The five short ones quickly greeted them.

Looking carefully, I found that the man was a little too old for bows and arrows, and he staggered when he got down, and he couldn't even straighten his waist.There were several followers around him, walking towards them back and forth.

Is this the boss behind it?Wu Xie wanted to go over, but when he turned his head, he found that the younger brother, Mengli and Aning were standing behind him, staring straight at the person who came, and the younger brother said to him: "Don't let them see us."

"Why?" Wu Xie looked at them strangely and asked.

"He is my boss." Ah Ning looked at the man with an invisible complicated expression on his face.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, "This old man is Jude Kao?!" Then he almost jumped up.These people are also from the team of Aning's company, and the old man actually went out in person.

For a moment Wu Xie didn't know how to react.

Jude Kau has an established image in his mind, both definite and uncertain, a missionary with a face like Sven Hedin, but also a bit like that great liar Marco Polo.In childhood, in the stories his grandfather told him, Jude Kao was the worst villain, and he once imagined him as a monster with a big wolf face.I really didn't expect that he himself would describe an old man with a dry draft like this.

This kind of prediction made Wu Xie feel very weird and unreal.Grandpa's story is equivalent to his childhood fairy tale book, and now, the characters in the fairy tale book suddenly came out of grandpa's notebook, and for a while, he felt very confused.

What is he doing here?Judging by this formation, one knows what's going on under the lake.After Snake Marsh, like them, he did not give up on the pursuit and came here too?

However, the direction of their investigation is completely random, and they don't have the same foundation, so how could they meet?Have they been following?

It must be a big deal for the old man to appear here in person.His age is not suitable for long-distance raids, and his appearance this time must be desperate.

What the hell is down there?

After thinking about it, the current situation is troublesome, and the relationship between them is too complicated.Wu Xie's grandfather and Jude Kao are feuds. Although Wu Xie has no idea of ​​revenge now, this relationship makes it impossible for him to have any good feelings for them.And the grievances and grievances between the third uncle and Jude Kao are even more chaotic.

Even if there is no hostility between them, there is still a strong competitive relationship. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, we have to think carefully about how to deal with the relationship.

You have to take one step at a time.

Wu Xie suppressed her burly heartbeat, and remembered one more thing——Didn't my little brother lose his memory?How did you know Jude Kao?And what is he hiding from?And why did Meng Li hide?

"It's reasonable for Ah Ning to hide, but, little brother, Meng Li, what are you hiding for?" Wu Xie asked.

Meng Li said: "I tricked him." Although he is not afraid, he still has to hide.

The corners of Wu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, especially when Ah Ning looked at him and nodded with certainty.

The little brother looked in the direction of the tent and replied, "I saw him once when I was in the hospital."

"Hospital? Is it Beijing or Golmud?"

They were picked up from Qaidam by Jude Kao's people, but they don't remember meeting him. He should have been hit harder than them at the time.

"Beijing." He replied, "Just last month."

"Why did he ask you?" Wu Xie asked, "Why didn't you tell me? Boss."

Boss?Meng Li really convinced Wu Xie.

He didn't answer, flashing back behind him.

Looking back, Jude Kao was helped out of the tent, looked around, put on his hat, and walked towards the shade of a tree on one side.

"What are you hiding?" Wu Xie asked again, "So what if he sees you? Maybe he already knew you were here."

The little brother shook his head and said to him: "We can't let them take the lead, we must take their time."

"What do you want?"

The little brother pointed to the diving equipment piled up on one side, "Let's grab scuba."

My brother has learned badly~
