Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

After dinner, Wu Xie took Xiao Hua to the backyard to reminisce about the past, while the others gathered in Hei Xia Zi's room.

Fatty Wang: "Brother, take a quick look, is this a map of an ancient tomb?"

Zhang Qiling took the paper from Fatty Wang and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more familiar this place seemed to him. He seemed to have been there before.

Zhang Qiling: "Where did it come from?"

Fatty Wang: "Hey! Young man, tell me first, is this a map of the tomb?"

Zhang Qiling: "Yes, and it's a big tomb."

Fatty Wang: "It really is."

Zhang Qiling: "What's going on?"

Fatty Wang: "Today we saw a kid at the market with bronze bells on his ears. We suspected he had been to the underwater tomb, so we followed him to have a look. We didn't know if he noticed us, so he ran to the outskirts and buried the thing."

Fatty Wang: "Brother, since this is a big tomb, should we——"

Zhang Qiling: "Go - but not now."

Fatty Wang: "Ah - then when are we going? If we go too late, all the treasures will go into that kid's pocket."

Bai Mumu: "Brother Fatty, don't worry. Let's first figure out where he got this map from and whether it's reliable. What if he gets tricked?"

Hei Xia Zi: "I have asked someone to check it out. I should be able to get some news in the next few days."

Fatty Wang: "Okay, I'll wait a few more days."

Three days later——

Fatty Wang: "How is it? How is it? Have you found out anything?"

Hei Xia Zi: "We found out, and the result is unexpected."

Fatty Wang: "Tell me quickly."

Hei Xia Zi: "That man's name is Jie Ziyang, and everyone calls him Lao Yang. He's also a tomb robber. He was arrested two years ago and was just released recently. The most important thing is that this man seems to know Wu Xie."

Fatty Wang: "What? Why is Tian Zhen involved? Then he came out this time just to target Tian Zhen, right?"

Hei Xia Zi: "It's very possible. I recently received news that he has been hanging around outside Wu Shan Ju these past few days. It's very likely that he is here for Wu Xie."

Fatty Wang: "What should we do? Should we tell Tian Zhen?"

Bai Mumu: "Don't alert the enemy yet. We don't have any evidence right now. If he is really here for Wu Xie, he will definitely come to find him. We just need to wait for him to come to us."

Fatty Wang: "I hope we are wrong, otherwise this is just too unlucky."

Hei Xia Zi: "He will be unlucky every time."

Fatty Wang: "Alas - poor little innocent!"

Everyone decided to sit back and wait for Lao Yang to come to them.

A few days later, Wu Xie was sorting out the goods in the store when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He opened the door and saw a strange man standing at the door with flickering eyes.

Wu Xie: "Who are you looking for?"

Lao Yang: "Wu Wu Xie, it's me, I'm Lao Yang. It's been such a long time since we last met. You can't even recognize me."

The man smiled, revealing a row of yellow teeth.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, then walked forward to take a closer look and found that it was indeed Lao Yang.

Wu Xie: Lao Yang, where have you been these years? You didn’t even contact me. I thought you were kidnapped. And what are you doing——”

As Wu Xie spoke, he secretly sized up the other person.

Lao Yang: "Stop talking. I was arrested two years ago and I just got out. I didn't even have time to notify you."

Wu Xie: "Come in quickly and tell me."

Wu Xie invited Lao Yang into the house and they sat opposite each other.

Wu Xie: "You said you were arrested, tell me what happened."

Lao Yang: "It's all because of those two bastards. They got me arrested. If I hadn't been smart and played dumb, I would have been locked up for another ten years."

It turned out that Lao Yang went to a tomb with another group of people to rob tombs a few years ago. They found that the tomb was really strange. Several people in their group died. After discussion, the remaining people decided to retreat first and go in again next time when they were fully prepared.

But before they could go in again, those people were caught and pushed him out as well.

After being arrested, Lao Yang kept claiming that he was abducted and did not take anything from the tomb, so he was only given a verbal education and imprisoned for a few years.

Wu Xie: "So why did you come to see me this time——"

Lao Yang: "Wu, Wu Xie, I came here this time because I want to ask you for help with something."

Wu Xie: "What's the matter? Tell me and I'll help if I can."

Lao Yang: "I want to go to that tomb again, but my ability is limited. Can you ask your uncle to go with me?"

Wu Xie: "Lao Yang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my Third Uncle is away for some reason, so I may not be able to help you."

Lao Yang: "Then when will your Third Uncle come back?"

Wu Xie: "I don't know about that. You know my Third Uncle only comes back a few times a year. He's always busy outside, so I don't know when he'll be back. Why don't you find someone else?"

Lao Yang: "I want to, but you know, in our line of work, few people are trustworthy, and I'm afraid of being cheated again. How about Wu Xie, why don't you come with me?"

Wu Xie: "Forget it. I'm afraid I can't help much."

Seeing that Wu Xie kept refusing, Lao Yang grabbed Wu Xie's hand excitedly and begged.

Lao Yang: "Wu Wu Xie, please help me because we grew up together. I really don't have anyone I can trust. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you."

Seeing Lao Yang's pleading look, Wu Xie felt a little soft-hearted, but he also knew his own limitations, so he was still a little hesitant.

Wu Xie: "Lao Yang, you've already been to that tomb once, why do you want to go again?"

Lao Yang: "I really have something to do and I have to go in again. Wu Xie, please help me."

Wu Xie: "Even if I'm willing to help you, I'm afraid it won't work just with the two of us."

Wu Xie: "How about this, I'll discuss it with a few of my friends tonight. If they're willing to help, then we'll go in. If that doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."

Lao Yang: "Okay, thank you Wu Xie. Then I will go back and wait for your good news."

Wu Xie: "Okay, let's meet at Louwailou tomorrow night. We can have a couple of drinks to welcome you back."

Lao Yang: "Okay, see you tomorrow night."

Wu Xie: "Well, see you tomorrow night!"
