Tomb Raider: The Adventures of a Dumb Man

The early morning sun shone on the roof of the farmhouse. Si Teng was still lying there lazily, enjoying the warm sunshine.

Hei Xia Zi sat in the yard, playing with the ring Si Teng gave him, feeling a little emotional. This ring was of great significance to him, and he didn't expect that Si Teng would help him find it back.

"Little Heizi, what are you daydreaming about?" Si Teng's voice came from the rooftop with a hint of ridicule.

Hei Xiazi looked up and smiled: "Sister Si Teng, where did you find this ring? I have been looking for it for a long time and couldn't find it."

Si Teng smiled lightly, and instead of answering directly, she asked, "What do you think?"

Hei Xia Zi shrugged his shoulders. He knew Sister Si Teng's methods. She could always find what she wanted. However, he did not ask any more questions, but he felt more grateful to Si Teng.

Just then, Zhang Qilin came back from the back mountain with a basket of fresh mushrooms and wild vegetables in his hand.

His black gold ancient sword hung at his waist, with a hint of satisfaction on his face. Obviously, the morning exercise and the walk in the mountains made him feel good.

"Little Qilin, you have a good harvest today." Hei Xia Zi greeted with a smile.

Zhang Qilin nodded, put the basket at the kitchen door, then walked into the yard, sat on a stone bench, and began to sort the mushrooms and wild vegetables. His movements were very gentle, as if he was treating some precious treasure.

Si Teng jumped down from the roof and landed lightly beside Zhang Qilin. She reached out and touched his head: "Little Qilin, did you encounter anything interesting today?"

Zhang Qilin looked up at her with clear eyes and shook his head: "No, there are just a few more squirrels in the mountains."

Si Teng smiled and didn't ask any more questions. She knew that although Zhang Qilin didn't talk much, he was observing everything around him very carefully. He knew the changes in the mountains better than anyone else.

I thought of the past, when it was snowing heavily and the little Qilin came down from the mountain.

He is actually even simpler and easier to deceive than the Kara people.

During that time, she would tidy up Zhang Qiling's clothes, cover his hood, and even use intimate actions such as "patting his head" to soothe his confusion.

While in a state of amnesia, Zhang Qilin gradually developed trust in Si Teng and would occasionally call her name unconsciously.

Very well-behaved.

She treated him as her own vine.

Just as they were enjoying the morning tranquility, they heard hurried footsteps outside the courtyard. Then, a strange voice sounded outside the door: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhang Qilin's residence?"

Hei Xiazi frowned, stood up and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing outside with a document in his hand and a nervous look on his face.

"Who are you?" Hei Xia Zi asked vigilantly.

The middle-aged man quickly introduced himself: "I am Director Li from the Agricultural Bureau. I heard that Mr. Zhang signed up for our agricultural training class, so I came here today to give him some information and course arrangements."

Hei Xiazi was stunned, and looked back at Zhang Qilin, feeling somewhat puzzled. When did Zhang Qilin sign up for the agricultural training class? How come he didn't know?

Zhang Qilin also heard the conversation at the door, stood up and walked over. He glanced at Director Li and said calmly, "I didn't sign up."

Director Li was stunned, and quickly opened the document in his hand and looked at it carefully: "That's not right, Mr. Zhang Qilin's name is clearly written here, and the address is also here."

Hei Xiazi took the document and looked at it carefully, and found that Zhang Qilin's name was indeed written on it, and the address was correct. He frowned, and felt that something was wrong.

"Who signed you up?" asked Hei Xia Zi.

Director Li shook his head: "I don't know about this. I'm just responsible for delivering the information."

Hei Xiazi's heart sank, he turned to look at Si Teng and Zhang Qilin, and whispered: "This is a bit strange."

Si Teng also came over, took a look at the document, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "It seems that someone is eyeing us."

Because they all knew that Lao Hu and the others were joking and had not really signed up.

So, "Little Blackie, come and confirm it."

Hei Xia Zi immediately called Wang Kaixuan and the others, and the result was exactly as they expected.

"Not them."

Hei Xiazi's intuition has always been accurate. He always felt that there was something fishy behind this matter. Zhang Qilin had a special identity. Although he now had a legal identity, he was once a member of the Zhang family, so it was inevitable that someone would want to take advantage of him.

"Sister Si Teng, who do you think it could be?" Hei Xia Zi asked in a low voice.

Si Teng shook her head: "I don't know, but since someone has come to us, we might as well see what they want to do."

Zhang Qilin didn't say anything, but just stood aside silently, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Although he didn't like trouble, he would never sit idly by if someone dared to harm the people around him.

At this moment, Hei Xia Zi's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Hu Bayi calling.

"Old Hu, what's wrong?" Hei Xia Zi answered the phone with a serious tone.

On the other end of the phone, Hu Bayi's voice was a little hurried: "Blind man, is there anything unusual over there? I just received news that someone is targeting Xiao Qilin, and they might be targeting the Zhang family."

Hei Xia Zi's heart sank. Sure enough, things were not that simple.

"I understand. We will be careful." Hei Xia Zi said and hung up the phone.

Si Teng glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hei Xia Zi repeated Hu Bayi's words. After listening to them, Si Teng sneered, "It seems that some people still refuse to give up."

Zhang Qilin still didn't say anything, but silently clenched the black gold ancient knife in his hand.

He likes the present day and doesn't want it to be ruined.

He is in a bad mood now.

I am no longer the temperless person I used to be.

Even though he hasn't killed anyone for decades, his blade is still sharp.

Hei Xiazi knew that the days ahead would not be peaceful. Although they were not ordinary people, since the other party dared to come to their door so blatantly, they must have come prepared.

"Sister Si Teng, should we strike first?" Hei Xia Zi asked in a low voice.

Si Teng shook her head: "No hurry, let's see what they want to do first. If they are just testing us, there is no need for us to alert them."

Zhang Qilin nodded in agreement. Although he didn't like trouble, he also knew that some things could not be avoided.

"So what should we do now?" asked Hei Xia Zi.

Si Teng smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's time to eat, drink and play. When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

Hei Xiazi smiled helplessly, but he felt a lot more relaxed. With Sister Si Teng around, he always felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

Which one of them is a vegetarian?

Sister Si Teng eats meat.

Si Teng: . . . .

She eats energy.

She doesn't eat dirty food.
