Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

Chapter 116 A Dumb Man Reads Dumb Writings

The group walked straight ahead along the road. Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen in front of them suddenly stopped and signaled them to be quiet.

Fatty Wang: "Why don't you leave?" Fatty Wang asked in a low voice.

Xie Yuchen: "There is someone in front."

A few people walked over with light steps and stopped at a corner not far from those people.

Wu Xie: "It's the same ones from before, but it seems like one or two are missing?"

Xie Yuchen: "It must have been eaten by that strange fish before."

Fatty Wang: "There are only four of them left now, and we have seven. Should we just go ahead?"

Wu Xie: "It's better not to confront them head-on. They have guns."

Bai Mumu: "Then let's launch a sneak attack."

Fatty Wang: "Hey! Good idea, Fatty, I thought so too."

Xie Yuchen: "There are only a few of them, so there's no need to go to all that trouble. Just leave it to me."

After saying that, Xie Yuchen took out a few iron marbles from his pocket, walked over directly, and shot them before those people could react. The bullets accurately hit several acupuncture points of them, knocking them down instantly.

Fatty Wang: "Wow, I didn't realize you're so amazing."

Xie Yuchen hardly took any action along the way, and he looked so miserable when they first met, so Fatty Wang always thought he was weak.

Hearing what Fatty Wang said, Hei Xia Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hei Xia Zi: "As the last disciple of Er Yue Hong of the Nine Sects, if you can't even defeat these few, you will be laughed at to death."

Fatty Wang: "Then when we first met, how did you——?"

Xie Yuchen smiled bitterly twice.

Xie Yuchen: "People make mistakes, horses stumble. Besides, everyone has troubles."

However, after that baptism, he was the one who had the final say in the Xie family. After all, all his relatives were dead, so no one dared to speak up.

Bai Mumu: "Hey, why are you saying this? Fatty, go search them to see if they have anything useful."

Fatty Wang was a little embarrassed at first, but when he heard Bai Mumu's order, he immediately ran over.

Fatty Wang: "No problem, I'll be there right away."

Fatty Wang ran to the unconscious people and immediately began to search them. He first took away their guns and gunpowder from their backpacks and put them aside, and then continued to search them.

At this time, Hei Xia Zi also came over, looked at the things on the ground, picked up a gun and played with it in his hand.

Hei Xia Zi: "These are all good stuff. Now that the higher-ups are keeping a close eye on us, it's hard to get these kinds of stuff."

Fatty Wang: "I don't know where these guys got it from, but now it's a bargain for us."

Hei Xia Zi picked up another one on the ground and threw it to Wu Xie.

Hei Xia Zi: "My little disciple, take this and use it to protect yourself."

There were four guns in total, one each for Fatty Wang, Hei Xia Zi and Wu Xie. The remaining one was originally intended for Bai Mumu, but she refused it.

Bai Mumu: "I don't know how to use this thing. I can't aim accurately. It's a waste to give it to me. I'd better give it to Xiaohua."

So the remaining handful was given to Li Yuchen. As for Lao Yang standing aside, no one cared whether he wanted it or not.

When Fatty Wang found the last person, he unexpectedly found a map on him.

Fatty Wang: "Come and have a look. Here is a map."

Fatty Wang opened the map, but was a little confused when he saw the messy lines and fonts on it.

Fatty Wang: "What is written here? I don't understand. Tian Zhen will show it to you."

Fatty Wang directly handed the map to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie picked up the map, looked at the runes on it, and said uncertainly: "This looks a bit like dumb writing, but I'm not too sure. I don't know much about this."

Fatty Wang: "If even you can't understand it, what can I do?"

At this time, Hei Xiazi beside him said cheerfully: "It's okay, just show it to Zhang the Mute, he will understand."

Let a "mute" read "mute writing"? ? It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it? ? But ah, what are you thinking about, the guy is not really mute, don't let your imagination run wild.

Although he thought so, looking at Zhang Qiling standing quietly beside him, Fatty Wang still asked in a low voice.

Fatty Wang: "Little brother, do you really understand dumb writing?"

Several people also looked up at Zhang Qiling curiously, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.

Zhang Qiling was looked at like this by several people. He pulled the brim of his hat a little uncomfortably, but he still answered their questions honestly.

Zhang Qiling: "Well, bring it here."

Zhang Qiling took the map from Wu Xie and looked at the runes on it.

Zhang Qiling: "This is a map of the tomb, with some instructions marked on it."

Wu Xie: "So where are we now?"

Zhang Qiling: "Here" Zhang Qiling pointed to a place on the map.

Zhang Qiling: "After passing here, the Yellow Spring Waterfall is in front of us."

Wu Xie: "Yellow Spring Waterfall? What is that?"

Zhang Qiling: "I don't know. It just says that place is very dangerous. If you don't grasp it, you have to retreat directly, otherwise you will die."

Fatty Wang: "Is this exaggerated?? Then should we still go?"

No one spoke, but turned their eyes to Lao Yang, who had never spoken.

They were all here because of him, so now was the time to get him to tell the truth, otherwise there was no need for them to take the risk.

When Lao Yang saw that everyone's eyes were on him, his heart sank and his face became solemn. He wondered whether he should tell them, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Wu Xie couldn't help but ask, "Lao Yang, it's already this time, don't you want to tell the truth? If you really regard me as a brother, tell me the truth. You know I hate it most when people lie to me."

Lao Yang: "Wu Wu Xie, I——"

Lao Yang opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Wu Xie: "If you tell the truth, maybe I can help you. You know you can't get there by yourself."

Of course Lao Yang knew, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Wu Xie to help. But he didn't expect that they had been on guard against him from the beginning, so now he was not sure whether Wu Xie would help him.

Lao Yang: "Wu Xie, I did hide something from you, but I have no ill will towards you. It's just that I don't know how to tell you about this matter right now."

Wu Xie: "Why don't you stutter anymore? You're not——"

Lao Yang: "It's amazing, right? I'll show you something and you'll understand after you see it."

Lao Yang took out a package wrapped in thick cloth from his arms and opened it carefully. It was the bronze branch.

Lao Yang: "This is what I brought out of this tomb, and I came here this time for it."

Wu Xie: "Is there anything so special about this that it's worth taking such a risk?"

Lao Yang: "This is not an ordinary bronze branch. It has a magical power."

Wu Xie: "Magical power?"

Lao Yang: "Yes - this is the branch of the bronze tree in the tomb. I took a great risk to sneak it out. The bronze tree has a magical power. I didn't think about coming back, but -"

Wu Xie: "But what? Tell me now."

Lao Yang: "That's all I can say. As for the rest, you'll know once you go there. If you really don't want to help me, then just leave."

Wu Xie: "We are leaving, what about you?"

Lao Yang: "After you leave, this may be my final destination."

Wu Xie: "You are crazy. If something happens to you, what will happen to Auntie? She will be left alone and she is not in good health. How can she live?"

When Lao Yang heard Wu Xie mention his mother, tears instantly came down.

Lao Yang: "Heh - maybe you don't know, my mom passed away a long time ago. I'm all alone now, so I don't have anything to worry about."
