Tomb Raiders: Ghosts

To enter the mountain, even if it costs a lot of money, the villagers naturally dare not go, and they can't threaten the villagers with gunpoints like the Chen family did. They are all tense. If they come again this time, let alone entering the mountains, it is hard to say whether they can leave the village, but I have to say that they are lucky.

The villager who was threatened by Chen Xiaogou to enter the mountain was the pillar of the family next door to the guest house. There was an 40-year-old mother, a 15-year-old wife, a [-]-year-old son and a [-]-year-old daughter. The man usually went up the mountain to chop Firewood and hunting supported the family's expenses, so if the man died on the mountain like this, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the family. After the man entered the mountain, the old mother cried and passed out several times, and the wife's eyes were red , In the end, when they were looking for a guide, the son actually said that he was willing for them to go into the mountain, on the condition that they would bring out his father, and that they would see the dead body and the people alive.

Chu Yizhu looked at the young boy with a serious expression, nodded, and left 2000 yuan for his family.

When they set off, the young boy changed into a black tight-fitting coarse cloth shirt, the cuffs of his trousers were tied tightly with cloth belts, and a belt was tied around his waist. He held an iron bow in his hand and carried a bamboo tube on his back. , obviously there are arrows in the bamboo tube.

"Axi..." The mother's eyes were red, and she held her son's hand tightly, choking: "You must..."

"Don't worry, Mom, I will be able to find Dad. Take care of Mom and Sister." Asi held his mother's hand in both hands and pressed it on his forehead, then turned to look at the crowd, and said, "Let's go."

There is a long dirt road leading to the mountain from the village. The road is only one meter wide. It can be seen that it has been trampled out for a long time. There are dense weeds and some low shrubs on both sides. Asi walked ahead leading the way with a serious expression. Holding the iron bow tightly, it could be seen that he was very nervous, and beside him was Chu Yiju.

Shan Ling followed behind Chu Yizhu, followed by Si'er and the old ghost, and everyone else walked behind, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Several people in the team couldn't calm down, especially the two young men, Ah Jun and Si'er. Not long after, Ah Jun in the back stretched out his finger and poked Si'er in front, and Si'er turned around and stared at him fiercely. glance.

Ah Jun ignored his staring eyes, pointed to Asi in front of him, and moved his mouth silently: cliché.

Those who do underground work like them, when they go to a remote place, most of them will find a guide, and they will often get a lot of useful information from the guide who leads the way, so someone will come out to make clichés.

Chu Yizhu has always been indifferent and reticent, and he won't snort when he hits a stick a few times, so most of these things are done by Ah Jun and Si'er, but now the one who leads the way is a little kid with no hair. The lips are pursed, and the corners of the mouth are bent down.

Looking at this little kid, he couldn't help feeling like he wanted to bully and intimidate him, and let him use some tricks to frighten the kid later, what if he didn't lead the way, his eyes rolled, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Walking by my side, I didn't know that the afternoon sun was still hot, and my face was a little red.

Well, kids, there just happens to be one here!

Thinking so in his heart, Si'er gently pushed the single bell with his elbow on the single bell who was concentrating on walking. Seeing him turn his face to look at him, before he could speak, he leaned into his ear and whispered a few words .

After listening to Si'er's whisper, Shan Ling's eyes widened in surprise, and she raised her finger and pointed at herself: You want me to... talk to that Asi?

Si'er nodded, then waved his hand, making a motion for him to go quickly.

Although I didn't feel very good when I met Si'er at first, but later I found out that he is actually a very nice person, with a straightforward personality, not at all rural or non-mainstream, and Shan Ling also knew it from Si'er when he spoke before. There are many things, such as Master Su's name is Chu Yiju, they came from the capital, etc...

Shan Ling's eyes couldn't help but fell on Chu Yizhu in front of him, then turned back to Si'er who was full of anticipation, and then looked at Asi holding the iron bow, took a deep breath, and bit the bullet. .

Talking is also a technical job. If you rush to talk to him suddenly, it may cause the other party's dislike or disgust. The speed of single bell walking is much faster. Fortunately, he was a sportsman when he was in school, otherwise he would carry nearly [-] kg. It's really not an easy thing to go a long way.

Soon Shan Ling and Asi were already in parallel, but he was not in a hurry to strike up a conversation. When the other party looked at him curiously, he nodded and smiled at him. Asi was slightly taken aback, obviously not thinking about Shan Ling He would smile at himself, his dark face would turn a little red unconsciously, and he would also smile at Shan Ling, after all, no matter how hard he pretended to be strong and serious, he was still just a child.

After walking for a while, Shan Ling started talking and said, "Hi, I'm Shan Ling. I heard your mother calling you Asi. Thank you for taking us into the mountains."

Asi turned to look at Shan Ling, her tense face relaxed a little, she pursed her lower lip, and said, "You're welcome, I'm just taking Dad home."

"Me too, I want to bring Dad home." Saying that, Shan Ling lowered her eyes to hide the anxiety in her eyes.

"What?" Axi was puzzled.

"Those people also kidnapped my dad. Uncle Su and I chased them here, so we have to go into the mountains."

Shan Ling's voice was not deliberately lowered, so Chu Yiju, Si'er, Ah Jun, and Lao Gui could all hear her. Si'er couldn't help but stretched her hand behind her back and gave a thumbs up.

Ah, I really can't see that little Lingdang (who is this?) who looks so stupid, actually knows how to use the method of "sympathizing with each other" to get close, and directly pushes everything to the Chen family.

Asi heard that Shan Ling was also going to the mountain to save his father, and a feeling of "sympathy for each other" suddenly arose in his heart, and his guard against these people fell in a straight line, and then he classified them as Good people, and those in the Chen family are all bad guys.

"My dad and your dad are sure to be fine. Although those who disturb the mountain god will be punished, the mountain god will never hurt kind people."

"Ah."

Asi and Shanling were talking, the atmosphere gradually eased a lot, and Si'er couldn't bear the loneliness and went over to talk.

"Brother Asi, you have a bow in your hand, do you often go hunting in the mountains?"

Turning his head to look at Si'er who was full of smiles, Asi first marveled at his shiny golden prickly hair and the row of earrings, and then nodded.

"Well, many people in the village know how to hunt. My dad is the best hunter in the village, and my hunting skills were also taught by my dad." As he spoke, he couldn't help showing a little pride on his face, and then said: "But We will not go hunting into the mountains, we are all at the foot of the mountain, and we can go a little further until we reach the mountain stream, and we can’t go any further, or we will disturb the mountain god.”

"The other side of the mountain stream, have you ever been there?" Digging, if this kid hasn't been there, how will he lead the way.

"I haven't been there before. In fact, there is only one road leading to the mountain where the mountain god lives. Even if you go for the first time, you can get there, but..." Asi said, his expression became serious, and he said: To avoid things on the road, someone must take them with you, otherwise..."

"What's on the road?" Shan Ling felt her hair was going to explode when she heard it.

"Bears, tigers, leopards, etc. have been passed down in the village since ancient times. In the place where the mountain god is, you must never kill, otherwise you will attract evil spirits."

"Evil ghost? Scaring people." Ah Jun also came over.

Asi waved his hand, the expression on his face became very solemn, and said: "It's not to scare people, really, that happened a few years ago, a few people went into the mountain to poach, and they were discovered after a few days The dead body was scary, the skin and flesh were bitten by something, it was all rotten, and the blood was still black, because there were many poached animals with them, the grandmothers and grandfathers in the village said , they did evil things, angered the mountain gods, and released evil spirits to punish them severely."

The few people listened and didn't make fun of Asi's superstition or anything, but they also knew that those poachers might encounter some poisonous insects and snakes, and those who were bitten should pay more attention.

The team continued to move forward, and it didn't take long before they came to the mountain stream one day. Asi stopped at his feet, and then knelt down on both knees under the surprised eyes of everyone, muttering words, which should be in the local language, and finally kowtowed three times. During this period, no one interrupted him.

When Asi stood up again, he told them again that no matter what animals they encountered, they must not shoot them, otherwise they would not be able to get out of here. Then I don't know.

There is no bridge on the mountain stream, so we can only jump over some raised stones in the stream. Others jump and step on the stones at a very fast speed, but the single bell is slower, and even almost slipped into the water several times. Fortunately, Chu Yiju followed behind him and helped him in time.

After everyone came over, Asi took out an arrow from the bamboo tube on his back and put it on the bow, and walked in front to lead the way, separated by a stream, like two separate worlds, where the grass and trees grow more Lush, the canopy of the trees covered the sky and the sun, making the forest look a bit dark, coupled with the humidity in the forest, the smell of dead branches and rotten leaves was very unpleasant.

But I have to say that Asi is really powerful. He led them to successfully avoid the danger of encountering tigers, leopards and black blind men several times. It even seemed to be equipped with radar, and he knew the insects and snakes hidden in the grass. It was unexpectedly smooth going all the way.

"Huh? Wait..." At this moment, a person in the team suddenly said.

"Fengzi, what's the matter?"

The others also stopped and looked at Fengzi who was walking behind the old ghost and wearing a black baseball cap with the brim turned back.

Fengzi walked a few steps forward, then squatted down to look at it, and said, "Master, I found something. People from the Chen family passed by here. This footprint is new."

Chu Yi walked over to have a look, and the dead branches and leaves were indeed clearly stamped with traces of being trampled on. If it wasn't for Fengzi's tracking skills, he might have missed it.

"Brother Asi, we will follow the traces they left on the road ahead, so that it will be easier to determine their location."

"Ok."
