Tomb Raiders: Ghosts

Chapter 21 Poison Elixir

Feeling uneasy, how could Shan Xiao sleep, but just closed his eyes, lest Chu Yizhu and Shan Ling see that something was wrong with him.

After she calmed down, Shan Xiao opened her eyes and saw her son sitting beside Chu Yiju. The two of them were very close together, talking in a low voice. , but answered Shan Ling's question without any impatience.

Shan Xiao looked at the two quietly, her heart was beating fast. Many people said that Shan Ling was very similar to him, but if you really put him with another father, you would see the difference. The face is like him, but the facial features are actually very similar to Chu Yizhu's, but they are softer and less sharp.

Chu Yizhu, who was talking to Shan Ling, seemed to feel the gaze from his side, and turned his head to meet a pair of warm black eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"Senior, you're awake."

"En." Shan Xiao lowered his eyes, avoiding Chu Yitu's gaze, and then nodded.

Shan Ling turned her face and saw that Shan Xiao had woken up, the smile on her face became brighter, and she rushed to hug him.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

Shan Xiao looked at his son, then smiled slightly, and said, "I'm fine, I'm much better now, what were you talking about just now? It seems to be very happy."

"Uncle Su taught me how to guard against traps in the tomb." Shan Ling's eyes lit up again.

Hearing this, Shan Xiao frowned, and Chu Yi who was at the side suddenly saw it clearly, and said: "Senior, don't think too much, I know you don't like those things, you just told Xiaoling for fun. "

Shan Xiao used to be a top student in the Department of Archeology of the No. 20 University in Beijing. He disliked tomb robbers the most. Back then, he had a very unpleasant fight with him because of this matter. In the end, he even left. This walk lasted for [-] years.

"I didn't think much about it." Shan Xiao shook his head, and said again: "You misunderstood, but this skill is the unique secret skill of your Chu family, so how can you play it casually."

Although he doesn't like tomb robbers, he has to admire the skills of these people, which are completely beyond the reach of scholars in the Department of Archeology.

Hearing this, Chu Yi laughed suddenly, and said, "Xiao Ling is not an outsider." As he spoke, he reached out to touch Shan Ling's soft hair.

"Yeah." Shan Ling nodded with a smile.

Watching the interaction between the two, Shan Xiao felt sour in his heart, hum, obviously he is the father, Shan Ling was raised by him, what is going on with these two.

After the rest, everyone will continue to move forward, and the fainted Chen Xiaogou has also woken up, but the people brought by Chu Yiju don't like him, so they drag him over and throw him aside Bandaging, thanks to his life, was covered in blood, but he didn't lose too much blood and died.

Chen Xiaogou got up from the ground, his head was dizzy due to blood loss, he looked down at the hideous wound on his body and took a few breaths, fortunately there was no bleeding, but if he didn't bandage it, he would easily collapse again, then he looked up at the other wounds. When the person glanced at him, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his head and began to undress.

Shan Ling glanced at Chen Xiaogou next to him, then looked at Shan Xiao who was standing beside him, and Shan Xiao also looked over, and then nodded.

Then, Shan Ling walked over, looked at Chen Xiaogou who was about to tear off his shirt, and said: "The clothes are sweaty and bloody, you use them to tie up the wound, aren't you afraid that the wound will rot, this is for you, hum , don’t die here, if you dare to tie up my father, I’ll beat you to death when you get out!!”

Looking at the roll of gauze stretched out in front of him, Chen Xiaogou was slightly taken aback, then raised his head to meet a pair of bright and angry eyes.

His throat rolled slightly, and then he reached out to take the roll of gauze, choked up, and said, "Thank you...and, I'm sorry!!" It looked like he was being bullied.

Chen Xiaogou is actually younger than Shan Ling. His mother is Chen Laogou's second wife. He was born when Chen Laogou was 50 years old. He can be regarded as an old man, so Chen Laogou is very He loves him, but he has two half-brothers who are more than ten years older than him. His mother taught him since he was a child, and tried every means to please his father.

In fact, he understands that in his mother's mind, in the position of Mrs. Chen, the Chen family's property is much more important than his son. As long as Chen Laogou loves him and spoils his son, then she will not be in the Chen family. In order to be afraid of his two older brothers, in the entire Chen family, the only one who treats him best is Old Dog Chen.

This time Chen Laogou was lying on the bed with only half his life left. He was so anxious, partly because his mother was afraid that Chen Laogou would die suddenly, and the Chen family's property would fall into the hands of his two older brothers. But more because he was afraid that the father who loved him at home would die, so he kidnapped Shan Xiao, who was also cursed by the elixir, and brought him to the tomb to try the antidote to save his father.

His two older brothers had followed his father to many tombs before, and knew the skills of going to the tomb, but this was the first time for him to go to the tomb, and all the people under him were folded in the fake main tomb, leaving him in a state of embarrassment He escaped, and at that time he was really scared, he thought he was going to die here.

It was considered lucky for him to meet someone from the Chu family and get beaten up, at least he still survived.

Shan Ling looked at him like this, her face was a little tense, tsk tsk, looking at the wound really hurts, no wonder she was about to cry.

Chen Xiaogou sniffled, then began to bandage his own wound, and secretly glanced at Shan Ling with a distorted expression.

"Well...well, there's something I've been wondering about."

Shan Ling was feeling that her face was about to cramp, when she heard Chen Xiaogou suddenly accosted her, she actually didn't want to talk to him, but she still held back her curiosity, wondering what he was wondering about.

"What?" Hmph, just give him the word alms.

"That's the one... Your father also went into the Xia Dynasty's tomb above 20 years ago, and was caught by my father and the others to test the medicine, cough..." Then she found that Shan Ling was glaring at herself fiercely, so she had to bite the bullet and continue going. Xia Xia said, "But, why did your dad take that pill and still run around, but my dad didn't take that medicine, he just touched it, and now he's lying in the hospital..."

"That's because your father has a dark face and has done too many bad things..." Wait, Shan Ling suddenly realized that something was wrong, and said, "What did you say, your father didn't take that medicine!?"

Shan Ling's exclamation attracted the attention of others, and both Chu Yizhu and Shan Xiao came over.

"What happened to Xiaoling?" Shan Xiao asked.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Shan Ling told what Chen Xiaogou said about the painting just now, and saw Chu Yiju's face suddenly changed, and then pulled Chen Xiaogou who was still sitting on the ground by his collar.

"You said Old Dog Chen took the elixir and didn't eat it!?"

Chu Yiju's actions were very rude. Even if Chen Xiaogou had bandaged the wound, he couldn't help tossing like this. The gauze was dyed light red again, and the wound split open.

"Yes... Actually, I heard my mother complain about this matter. He said that my father once got an elixir from a tomb. After eating it, he could live forever, but he sold it to a rich businessman. Later, his father fell ill. , my mother said again, fortunately that pill was sold, it is not a magic pill at all, but poison-drug..."

"Why didn't you say that before!!"

In fact, Chu Yichu and the others didn't investigate this matter too clearly at first. They only investigated the few people who captured Shan Xiao back then. Three of them were dead, and the whereabouts of one was unknown. More venting and less anger, Shan Xiao was the last person who came into contact with the elixir, and was even forced to take it.

They got all directions wrong at the beginning. Those who died may not have eaten the elixir, but those who had been in contact with the elixir were all under the curse. They didn't know whether to eat or sell their elixir. Well, maybe among the six people, only Shan Xiao has taken that elixir.

"I... I didn't think about it before..." Chen Xiaogou was limp like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost. Now he has injuries on his body and is still bleeding, but he couldn't help beating at all, and was beaten again , that would kill him.

"Yijuu." Shan Xiaojian looked at Chen Xiaogou, sighed softly, then stretched out his hand to hold Chu Yijuan, just a child, although he was tied away before.

Although the matter is very weird, maybe he knows why Chen Laogou touched the pill and is lying there now, and some people may have died after taking the pill like him, but he has the totem on his body, but He can still walk around, and he has nothing to do for the time being, because he has one thing that is different from them.

Chu Yi let out a cold snort, and threw Chen Xiaogou, who was in his hand, like throwing trash.

"Master, according to what the little dog said, the old dog didn't take the elixir, but just touched the elixir, and now he is lying in the hospital half dead, and Mr. Shan took the medicine, even though his body is also sick. That totem appeared, but you can still run around, maybe the medicine is really poisonous, but after taking it, it suppresses the poison." The old ghost also listened to these words, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Then his life will be in danger at any time." Thinking of Shan Xiao's death, he couldn't calm down.

When the man left him at the beginning, he didn't go looking for it because the Chu family's affairs might hurt him. After everything was settled, he went to look for him, but the man had disappeared, and he was hiding from him. It was 20 years, he endured it, even if he found out later that he had a son with another woman, he also endured it, and now he found him with great difficulty, and he also knew that his woman was gone and there was only one son, How could he let go again, this time, no matter what means he used, he would keep this person by his side.

"But compared to Old Dog Chen, Mr. Shan is much luckier. We need to find the antidote as soon as possible before the poison takes hold."

His life was saved by Chu Yiju's father, and he has been with Chu Yiju's father since then. After Chu Yiju was born, he took care of Chu Yiju. Compared with the serious and serious Mr. Chu, he knows more about Chu. Yizhu, so he knew Chu Yizhu's thoughts on Shan Xiao a long time ago, and he never reported this matter to Chu's father.

"But compared to Old Dog Chen, Mr. Shan is much luckier. We need to find the antidote as soon as possible before the poison takes hold."

His life was saved by Chu Yiju's father, and he has been with Chu Yiju's father since then. Because he knows medical skills and is careful in doing things, Chu's father let him follow his son.

Therefore, he can be said to have watched Chu Yiju grow up. Compared with his strict father who was always indifferent except teaching Chu Yiju how to break the mechanism, the relationship between the old ghost and Chu Yiju was better. He could see that Chu Yiju treated Shan Xiao differently, but he never told Father Chu about it.

After all, he himself...

Chu Yi suddenly knew what the old ghost said was right, and said with a gloomy face, "Let's go, let's find the main tomb as soon as possible!"

Those elixirs came out from here, so there must be clues to those elixir antidote here, and those things are most likely in the main tomb!
