Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 189 Goodbye Huo Xiangu

Who on earth has such a big face?

Under Wu Xie's lobbying, those two people revealed something.They only knew that the boss's surname was Huo, she was a woman, everyone called her Mrs. Huo, she was very famous, she was nicknamed "Huo Xiangu".

When Wu Xie heard the name, he suddenly realized that it turned out to be Huo Xiangu, Lao Jiumen. It seems that the origin of this is really deep.

Wu Xie went back to the room to discuss with Aning. One of them called Mengli and the other called Fatty.

When Mengli received the call from Aning, she was accompanying Mr. Meng in the hospital.

"Grandpa, I'm going out to answer the phone." Mengli pointed to the phone, and after the old man nodded, she walked out of the ward.

"What's the matter, Aning? What is Wu Xie doing?" Meng Li asked.But she also guessed, and found all the blueprints of Xiang Lei, and the next step is to ask Huo Xiangu to clarify.

Aning didn't know what she was thinking, so she briefly explained the matter.

"Okay, I see. I will arrange this matter. When you arrive in Beijing, remember to call and I will send someone to pick you up." Mengli paused, and then said, "Remember to dress decently then , but not too formal."

"Well. I will tell Wu Xie." Aning replied.

After hanging up the phone, just as Mengli walked into the ward, the old man said: "If you are busy, go do it. It's not that no one takes care of me."

Meng Li smiled helplessly.But she laughed, and she replied honestly: "Grandpa, I'm going to see Grandma Huo in a few days."

"About that matter? The Wu family boy called you?" The old man also knew about their affairs, because Meng Li asked him about Shi Xianglei yesterday.

When Mengli asked, the old man felt that the matter was not simple, and then Mengli told the old man about it. After hearing this, the old man sighed inexplicably.

Mengli nodded: "That's right."

The old man sighed: "That kid from the Wu family is too curious, and he will hurt himself sooner or later. Old dog Wu named him "Wu Xie" in the hope that he would be innocent and clean. It's a pity..."

It's a pity that the real meaning of Wu Xie's name is indeed "innocent" literally, but the deep meaning of this Wu Xie is not to let Wu Xie get rid of his fate, but to let Wu Xie walk into such a fate, with a kind of The cleanest gesture is to use the identity of the interpreter to break into the interior of the Wang family to complete one step or more in the layout of the Wu family.

This point is very, very desperate. Even though he was so ashamed that he burst into tears, Old Dog Wu still threw his grandson into a doomed fate. It is no wonder that Wu Xie launched a comprehensive counterattack at all costs afterward.

"Girl, be careful." The old man said earnestly.

Mengli smiled knowingly: "I know."

Now that you're involved in the game, be careful with everything, especially "it".

To make a long story short, Huo Xiangu made an agreement.

Wang Meng returned to Hangzhou, and Wu Xie and Aning came to Beijing in three days.

Meng Guy planned to drive Wu Xie and Aning to the gate of the military area compound. As soon as the two got off the car, they saw Meng Li and the younger brother standing at the gate.

"Brother, Mengli." Wu Xie greeted.

Aning nodded to the two of them.

The little brother was wearing a dark blue hoodie, expressionless, but very eye-catching.

Mengli smiled and said, "Here we come."

"Then shall we go in now?" Wu Xie asked, pointing to the military.district.compound.

"Wait a minute, the fat man hasn't come yet."

As soon as the words fell, the fat man came over with a smile: "Yo, you are waiting for me, Fatty. I am here, let's go in?"

"After entering, don't talk nonsense," Mengli instructed, "especially you, fat man."

"Come on, fat man, I'll shut up." The fat man made a zip movement.

Mengli took them and walked through the community. This area is really big. After walking for a long time, they entered an alley and kept walking in it. It grows out of a courtyard, as if it has entered some temple. I never expected that there is such a beautiful scenery hidden in a certain community in Beijing. It is really hidden in the city.

When they reached the end of the alley, they entered through a very inconspicuous small door, and there was a big yard inside. They saw the old lady sitting in the yard drinking tea, and Huo Xiuxiu was sitting beside her. Obviously, they had been waiting for a long time up.

There is a persimmon tree in the yard, there is a well under it, and there are some rare plants on the side. It feels like it used to be the courtyard of a well-off family. The five of them walked in.

"Grandma Huo," Mengli called obediently.

"Meng girl is here. Come and let me see," Mrs. Huo beckoned her over, held her hand, and said angrily, "You don't know how often you come to see me."

Mengli smiled flatteringly: "If I don't come, Xiuxiu will accompany you."

"Yes, grandma." Huo Xiuxiu received Mengli's gaze, and pretended to ask casually, "Liuli, what did you bring them here for?"

"Oh, that's right," Mengli said the matter again.

Mrs. Huo had already seen the little trick of the two, and she didn't intend to expose it. She turned her eyes to the little brother and the others: "Okay, you all sit down."

"Last time at the Crescent Hotel, I, Mrs. Huo, would like to gamble and admit defeat. However, if it wasn't for Meng girl, whether your heads are still on your necks is another matter." Mrs. Huo said.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, and said to themselves, if it wasn't for you, we would be able to do that?

"This time, you can ask whatever you want." Mrs. Huo said.

Mengli and Huo Xiuxiu looked at each other, couldn't help but smile, and said silently in their hearts: "I don't know if I say it or not."

So Wu Xie went straight in and said, "Then are you willing to tell us?"

"Don't you just want to know why I have to pay such a high price for your style mine?" Mrs. Huo stood up, made a gesture of letting her go, and then said, "This matter has to be left on others , I will not say it, but you are also a descendant of Lao Jiumen, not an outsider, but those three please stay outside the door."

"Grandma Huo, I won't go in." Mengli said obediently.

"Okay, then you and Xiuxiu greet the guests properly."

Wu Xie followed Mrs. Huo into the side room. As soon as he entered, he saw that it was a collection room, full of antiques, without any decorations, just rows of shelves. Although it looked like an old house, once inside I felt tingling on my face, and there was static electricity in the air, which seemed to be constant temperature and humidity.

All the collections are wrapped in newspapers. Mrs. Huo took Wu Xie to the innermost part of several shelves, and he saw a steel wire against the wall to hang calligraphy and paintings, but now all the things hanging on them are the style Lei. picture of.

Wu Xie counted a total of seven cards, and there was a gap between two of them, obviously one was missing.It should be his one.

"This is 'Eight Layers of Thunder'." Mrs. Huo said, "Since you know Style Lei, you should know what it is."

Wu Xie nodded, a little surprised. With just one glance, he knew that this was a masterpiece of style thunder, and these seven drawings were actually the design drawings of a building, which was a multi-storey building.

The structure of each floor is very clear on the seven sheets of paper, and this building is not a building in the general sense. The floors are all building structures, so it is much larger than the tower, more like the Mayan Pyramid of the Sun. Generally speaking, except for the tower, there are very few ancient buildings built so high, but it can also be seen that the top part, in fact It is already a tower structure, and only the bottom three floors can be called a building.

"This is the pattern of Daoguang's 25th year. The designer should be Lei Siqi." Mrs. Huo said, "I have seven here, which are the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors of the building. The bottom floor should be with you."

"Is there anything strange about this building?" Wu Xie asked. At first glance, they are all very ordinary style mines. That one is the same.

"It may be nothing to others, but it has special meaning to me." Mrs. Huo fiddled with these patterns, "The name of this building is Zhangjialou. In the 70s, the pattern of this building began to appear in the Foreign countries have appeared one after another, and they were bought back to China. You know that Xie Lei is the royal designer, and it is impossible to design buildings for the people, but you can see the patterns here, which are completely in the style of private houses. Obviously, there is a difference between Zhangjialou and Emperor Daoguang or Xie Lei. , What’s the story, I had a daughter at that time, working in the Cultural Bureau, they had a project related to this building, at the end of 1978, they found this building in Guangxi. I remember it was January 1th, My daughter went to Guangxi to participate in archaeological excavations, which was her first time traveling far, and she went there for several months."

Mrs. Huo turned her head to look at Wu Xie, with a sad expression on her face: "I always wanted to use this opportunity to exercise her ability, so when she came back, I was very happy to talk to her, but I didn't expect After she came back, her personality suddenly changed."

When Wu Xie heard the three words Zhangjialou, he became excited, and immediately thought of the ancient building at the bottom of Banai Lake. He wanted to talk but didn't know what to say.But when he heard her last words, his mind twitched again.

"Changed?" Wu Xie asked strangely.

"Yes, after she went to Guangxi, her personality suddenly became very weird. She used to have a very cheerful personality, but after she came back, her personality became very gloomy. She basically stayed in her own room, not knowing what she was doing. What, I sneaked a few times at her and found her in the house by herself, drawing something."

Generally, this happens because she's broken in love.Wu Xiexin said that what she drew must be her boyfriend's face.

Mrs. Huo continued: "At first I thought she was in love, but later I found out it wasn't. Because she was on a business trip, I went into her house and saw those paintings, and I realized something was wrong." She After a pause, "It's all pen sketches, and all the pictures are of a building, a very weird building."
