Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】
Chapter 279 Stilt House
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning came through the window, everyone woke up one after another. Fatty Wang rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Oh, this sleep was so comfortable."
Hei Xia Zi stretched his body and stretched his muscles, still with that unruly smile on his face. Wu Xie stood up, looked at Bai Mumu who was still sleeping beside Xiao Ge, and said softly: "Let the little guy sleep a little longer." Xiao Ge nodded slightly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Instead of rushing to pack their equipment, they went to have breakfast first. At the breakfast table, everyone ate simple food while discussing today's plan.
After breakfast, they found Uncle Agui and expressed their desire to go into the mountains to see the old forest and the lake.
At first, Uncle Gui was worried and kept persuading them: "The old forest and the lake are very dangerous. Don't take any risks."
Fatty Wang's eyes rolled, and he took out a thick stack of red bills and shook it in his hand.
When Uncle Gui saw the red bills, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.
Wu Xie quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Uncle Gui, don't worry, we are just curious and we won't do anything dangerous. And we promise to be careful, we just hope someone can show us the way."
Uncle Agui frowned and thought about it again and again, but finally he couldn't resist the temptation of the red money and agreed.
After getting Uncle Gui's consent, everyone started packing up to go into the mountains. They carefully checked the food, water, lighting tools and various emergency items in their backpacks to make sure everything was safe.
At this time, Bai Mumu was also chirping excitedly, as if urging everyone to set off quickly.
Fatty Wang smiled and said, "Hey, little fairy, you can't wait either."
Hei Xiazi joked: "This little guy is more active than us."
Wu Xie came over, touched Bai Mumu's little head, and said, "Don't worry, we'll set off right away."
The young man stood up and put on his backpack. Everyone else also got ready. Bai Mumu jumped and followed them.
Led by Uncle Agui, the group set out for the old forest. Along the way, the forest was dense, birds were singing, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light.
Bai Mumu excitedly ran around at everyone's feet, stopping from time to time to smell the wild flowers on the roadside.
Wu Xie walked while observing the surrounding environment, his heart full of curiosity and vigilance.
On the other side of the village, a man covered in black with hunched shoulders looked at the people entering the mountain, with a complicated look in his eyes. He stood there quietly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he turned around and disappeared into the corner of the village.
Everyone continued to move forward under the leadership of Uncle Agui.
Fatty Wang muttered as he walked: "This old forest looks beautiful, but I don't know what dangers are hidden in it. We must be careful."
Hei Xia Zi still had that unruly smile on his face and walked with ease, as if he didn't care about the impending danger at all.
Wu Xie stared closely at his surroundings, not missing any possible clues.
The young man walked silently at the front of the team, always alert to the movements around him.
Bai Mumu was still jumping happily at everyone's feet, adding a touch of liveliness to the tense atmosphere.
Just when Wu Xie and others were about to persuade Uncle Agui to take them deeper, the cell phone suddenly rang. Wu Xie looked and saw that it was Xiaohua calling.
Wu Xie quickly answered the phone and heard Xiao Hua's familiar voice: "Wu Xie, I just got some news. It may be related to the matter you are investigating now."
Wu Xie was delighted and said quickly, "Xiao Hua, tell me quickly, what's the news? We are in the old forest now and are worried about not having any clues."
Wu Xie looked at the photo with a frown on his face.
Fatty Wang came over and asked curiously, "Tian Zhen, what is that? Show it to me."
Wu Xie handed the phone to Fatty Wang and said, "The photo Xiaohua sent shows a figure with slumped shoulders and a stilt house, along with some clues."
Fatty Wang looked at the photo and scratched his head: "How can this man's shoulders be so slumped? It's weird."
Hei Xiazi came over and took a look at the photo. His eyes flashed behind his sunglasses, as if he knew something, but he didn't say anything. He still had a smile on his face: "It's interesting. It seems that this matter is getting more and more complicated."
As the young man looked at the photo, several blurry images suddenly flashed through his mind. His brows were furrowed, and he tried desperately to grasp those fleeting fragments of memory.
Wu Xie thought for a moment and said, "Since Xiaohua asked us to check first, let's follow this clue. Uncle Gui, do you know of any stilt houses like this nearby?"
Uncle Gui looked at the stilt house in the photo, pondered, and then said uncertainly: "There is a stilt house that has been abandoned for a long time near the western hilltop behind our village. It looks a bit like the one in the photo, but I'm not sure if it is this one."
When everyone heard that they had a specific goal, they became excited and decided not to climb the mountain anymore.
Wu Xie quickly said, "Uncle Gui, please take us over there first."
When Uncle Agui heard that they didn't have to go deeper into the old forest, he was happy and happily led his people there.
Along the way, everyone was feeling anxious and their pace quickened unconsciously.
Fatty Wang muttered as he walked, "I hope we can find some useful clues this time. It won't be a wasted trip."
Hei Xia Zi was still relaxed and said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious, Fatty, there might be a surprise.
Wu Xie followed Uncle Agui closely, constantly asking questions about the situation of the stilt house.
Uncle Agui could only give a rough idea. After all, the stilt house had been abandoned for a long time and he only saw it occasionally when he passed by.
After walking for a while, everyone finally saw the stilt house on the western hilltop. From a distance, the stilt house looked a bit dilapidated, surrounded by weeds, giving people a gloomy feeling.
The young man looked at the small building with a complicated expression in his eyes. His eyes slowly swept over every corner of the stilt house. The old wooden boards and mottled walls seemed to awaken some memories deep in his heart.
The young man stood there for a while, then suddenly said, "This place looks so familiar."
When Fatty Wang heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he said exaggeratedly, "What? Brother, you must be kidding me. How can you be familiar with this crappy place? Could it be your old nest before you lost your memory?"
Everyone thought that Fatty Wang was joking and started laughing. However, when they saw the serious look on the young man's face, their laughter stopped abruptly.
