Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

Chapter 62 The Great Change of the Zhang Family

During the days when we were in the Shen family's old house, I didn't know what happened outside. The incense burner was seriously injured and was bedridden. I was worried about his injury day and night, so I had no time to take care of other things.It wasn't until later that I learned that the incense burner was deliberately delaying our departure, which is a later story.

When I thought of Shen Er and Zhang Rui, it was half a month later. That day, Fang girl dug out the old wine to entertain me and the incense burner. I just took a sip, and suddenly I remembered Zhang Rui's pair of glasses that were fascinated by the night. Peach blossom eyes, and then jumped up from the chair.

I said: "Oops! Xiao Zhao said to wait for us for three days, and Shen Er was with him. He must have been waiting outside like crazy! I also said that I would call Zhang Rui anytime to tell him the progress of our side. It has been half a month now. If there is no news, he is probably going crazy too!"

Cenxiang Lu looked up at me, his eyes were dim, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at this moment.But I noticed that he had something to hide.

Fang girl also stared at me for a long time, and finally she seemed to make up her mind and said: "Young Master Buzui's injury is almost healed, it's time for you to leave. Or we will leave early tomorrow morning."

I also remembered one thing, that is, our original intention of coming to the Shen family's ancient house this time was to find out the origin of the key that was originally locked in the red sandalwood box.

I showed the key to Miss Fang and Girl Lan, and the two girls stared at each other for a long time, frowning and said, "It's strange, the master also has a key like this, the master said, this key is called 'Mandarin Duck Match', two One pair, one big and one small, the one the master brought is bigger than this one, but I remember the master said that the other one should be buried with a woman's body, why is it in your hand?"

The key was placed in the wooden box, and the wooden box was indeed brought out of Zhang Yawen's coffin.I thought about the context, and thought it might be related to the cause of Zhang Yawen's death, so I asked, "Who is your master?"

The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads at me: "We can't talk."

"Then what is this key for?"

The two girls shook their heads again: "The master didn't tell us that the master has always carried the key with him, but he has never seen the master use it."

It seems that starting with these two girls can't make any sense, so I sighed and had no choice but to give up.

The next day, the girls changed into modern clothes.I am used to seeing them wearing ancient cheongsams, with their hair tied up in a bun, suddenly showing their arms and their waists, I was a little displeased for a while: "It's winter now, you wear it like this..."

The two girls rolled their eyes, and hurriedly changed into a down jacket...

Fang girl said, that tomb passage is the only road leading to the outside left after the Shen family’s ancient house was closed, leading from the catacombs to the outside of the wall, bypassing the moat——I think of those animals kept in the water The ghoul couldn't help but feel hairy all over his body.However, this tomb passage can only be used once. Once the exit door is opened, the self-destruct mechanism of the entire tomb passage will be activated at the same time.Fang girl finally looked at me resolutely and said: "My sister and I have decided to leave here. Since we don't need to guard the longan jade anymore, there is no need for us to continue living in the old house."

In fact, the two girls occasionally sneak out by themselves to see the colorful world outside, but after all, they haven't had much contact with outsiders, and they are pure-minded, playing ghosts in the old house all day to pass the time.When I heard her say this, I couldn't help feeling like a father worried that his daughter would be abducted by bad men.

Although the tomb passage is difficult to walk, the process during the period is not the key point. How we avoid the traps in the tomb passage and how to take risks will not be explained in detail.

The point is, when we walked out of the Shen family’s old house and crossed Luwei Lake, we saw three armed vehicles parked not far away. The vehicles were fully equipped, with a satellite receiver on the roof, and a man in a black suit holding a binoculars , holding the headset and saying something, his mouth moved quickly.

Then we heard a howl, and the next thing we saw was Shen Er rushing over in a daze, hugged me, Ewha, and said, "Oh my god! Xiao Wang, are you a ghost or yourself!"

"Myself." The corner of my mouth twitched, and I returned to him lightly.

He was still howling in my ear: "No, you must be a ghost! Or my hallucination! It's been so long, I know something must have happened to you in it! Did you die miserably? Is there any last wish left? ? Are you rushing to reincarnate, and come to say goodbye to me before you leave?! Xiao Wang~~~You died so badly~~~~My buddy is so sad to part with you~~~~"

I pushed him away and walked towards the armored vehicle.Shen Er intercepted two girls behind me: "Weird, when did the black and white impermanence in the underworld change to beauties?"

I want to say that the two female versions of Black and White Wuchang are relatives of his family, but I didn't bother to explain, so I got into the armed car and smiled at the driver brother: "Take us to Shen's house, please."

The two girls went crazy as soon as they entered the city, wanting to visit any shop or street.They are very skilled, and they can come and go freely in the maze-like old house. I don't worry about them getting lost, so I left the address of Shen's house for them to find by themselves later.Lao Tzu was old and didn't have the energy to accompany them, so he stopped cooking immediately when he arrived at Shen's house.

I thought that the three armed vehicles were hired by Shen Er, but after I asked, I found out that it was not Shen Er's idea.He is not the one who wants to demolish the Shen family's old house.

With the influence of the Shen family, it is not possible to use armed vehicles to carry out large-scale civil engineering.

I came out of the incense burner's room and saw Shen Er waiting at the door, I wanted to talk to him about me and the incense burner, but he was preoccupied and pulled me to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

This day, the old lady of the Shen family and his four older sisters all went on an outing, but the servants in the house were so busy that they didn't know what was going on. What style of wreath do you want, how many suits do you need, who will write the eulogy, what is the content of the eulogy...

I wondered: "Does your family have relatives attending funerals?"

Shen Er stared at me, never seen him so serious before: "Xiao Wang, it's not our family that is going to do the funeral, it's Zhang's family in Suzhou."

I was startled, and didn't think much about it at the time: "Who died in Zhang Rui's family? Grand Master?"

Shen Er frowned, and said solemnly: "I'm not the one who wants to demolish the Shen family's old house, and I don't have the ability." He looked at me, and suddenly stopped talking.

I was so intrigued by him, I said anxiously: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Shen Er opened his mouth to speak, but the phone rang suddenly.He glanced at his phone, then at me, sneaking aside to answer the phone, and deliberately kept his voice low so that I couldn't hear him.

I saw "Zhang" in the name of his caller ID in front of me, and guessed that it might be Zhang Rui.Shen Er hung up the phone and returned to the sofa, squeezed my hand, I was sweating from the fright of his mother-in-law's actions.

"Who is calling? Zhang Rui?"

Shen Er pursed his lips and said emphatically, "It's Zhang Rui."

His expression just now made me fearful, because I was afraid that it was Zhang Rui who had the accident.The night before we left Zhang's house, Zhang Rui's situation was so bad, I was afraid that he would do something stupid because he didn't hear from us for half a month.That night, when I left his room and saw his back half hidden in the darkness, I felt as if he would stab me in the heart as soon as I turned around.He smiled like a spring breeze to others, and he didn't care about anything, but when he turned around, he was decisive and cruel to himself... Now that Shen Er said that it was Zhang Rui who called, at least I know he is still safe and sound, so I can't help but feel a little bit of a sigh tone.

But then Shen Er said solemnly: "Zhang Rui has been asking me for news about you for half a month. I told him that you have been in the ancient house for so long and haven't come out. If you really died inside, he will also tear down the entire ancient house and dig out your corpses."

As soon as I mentioned it in my heart, I said to myself that Zhang Rui is such an idiot, he actually got into a dead end!He hurriedly said, "Then you just told him that I have come out?"

Shen Erdao: "Yes. He said he will come to Wuhan soon, and he is probably on his way to the airport now."

I thought about it, and I always felt that something was a little weird.

Shen Er then pressed my hand and said: "Xiao Wang, many things have happened in the Zhang family recently, and the Zhang family is no longer the Zhang family it used to be. The person who hired the armed car and the private armed police is Zhang Rui. Fourth Master Jiang negotiated with the Wuhan Municipal Government to buy the land of the Shen family's ancient house. Don't doubt why he has such ability, because he is now the head of the Zhang family."

I looked at Shen Er in shock, and I couldn't help but see Zhang Rui's innocent and indifferent face in the night, with a warm but desolate sneer hidden in his eyes...

Shen Er breathed a sigh of relief and said to me: "Mr. Zhang and his brother Zhang Ci are both dead. Do you know how they died? They all died of poisoning and died at home! Now it is rumored that it was Zhang Rui who died. Zhang Ci's girlfriend accused Zhang Rui of being the murderer, but there was no evidence, and the police couldn't catch him. Do you understand the great changes that have taken place in the Zhang family recently? Zhang Rui is now in charge of the Zhang family, and everything is with Zhang Ci. The times are different. Let me just say that the gentler and easy-going person on the outside hides something in his bones. Although there are rumors that Mr. Zhang and Zhang Ci were both killed by him, how could it be such a coincidence? Two people died of food poisoning at the same time, but the others were fine after eating the same thing? I think this is strange. When he comes in a while, you should be careful. Don’t say that I told you this, or I’m afraid I am the one who was poisoned to death!"

I frown, not knowing what to say.

I want to say that Zhang Rui should not be this kind of person, Shen Er is too fussy.But at night, four Hummers parked at the entrance of the Shen family's villa. In the night wind, Zhang Rui got out of the car, dressed in plain black and strangely deep.

I think there is something wrong with the look he looked at me across the flower bed.

But when he came in front of me, he squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, which made me feel that he was no different from before.

His complexion is not very good, he can see that he has been overworked in the past few days, he nodded to Shen Er first, and then turned to me, his voice was cold, but he was as gentle and polite as usual: "I am afraid that Mr. Shen Er will lie to me, now that you are still alive Standing in front of me, I finally felt relieved."
