Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Hei Laoqi's expression changed, and he asked again: "You must remember wrongly, right?"

The guy ran forward staggeringly, pointed to the black sandy rock protruding behind Hei Laoqi and said with certainty: "That's right, I saw this rock at the time, and I thought it was special!"

At this time, the second uncle said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have really turned our backs. Don't panic. When we go on the road tomorrow, we will make some marks along the way."

I glanced at him, and his expression was still very calm, as if he had expected this to happen a long time ago, so I really couldn't figure out his real thoughts.

He opened the backpack and was about to get some water to drink. Then Xiao Zhao suddenly came over, put the navigator in my hand and said, "You will be responsible for safekeeping from now on. You are the person brought by the second master. Naturally, they don't dare to doubt it." you!"

I looked at his thin face, flickering on and off under the jumping firelight, and I naturally understood his intentions. Firstly, I wanted to get rid of the suspicion, and secondly, I happened to be lost now. It would be great if I could throw this hot potato out. In fact, starting from the small village of Lanco, this navigator has not been of much use. In my opinion, it is as useless as the compass of Jin Suanzi, and it should be thrown into the fire.

I ignored him, and picked up the water bottle on my own, neither saying I was willing nor saying I was not willing. This kind of behavior made Xiao Zhao finally lose his temper. He snatched my water bottle and graciously helped me twist it. Opening the lid of the pot, he suddenly yelled and fell to the ground, moaning continuously.

Everyone didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was not good at picking up girls and playing tricks, so they laughed and made fun of him. I gave him a look, which meant to warn him not to go too far, but when I looked at his face carefully, I couldn't help being shocked. At this time, his face had turned black and blue, which was very scary.

I hurriedly called my dumb sister to come over, she took a closer look, and secretly screamed that it was not good, saying it was a symptom of poisoning.

It was fine just now, but why was it poisoned in a blink of an eye? I looked at the kettle that had been knocked over on the ground, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Ms. Dumb lifted Xiao Zhao's arm and was about to administer antibiotics when she stopped suddenly. At this moment, everyone gathered around. I went over to take a look, and saw that a large black-purple patch had appeared on Xiao Zhao's fair skin. , the pattern is wrong, as if it is the appearance of words, these words are deeply imprinted in Xiao Zhao's flesh, and they are very clear.

"How could this be?"

Jin Suanzi and the second uncle also took a closer look, and couldn't help but backed away in fright. Seeing their expressions, everyone couldn't help but also became scared.

Jin Suanzi swallowed, pointed at Xiao Zhao with a trembling finger, and said, "Those are exterminations! They were written for the dead."

Everyone exclaimed, and some timid ones even sat down on the ground.

I thought to myself: "How could it be? Extermination inscriptions are usually only carved on stone coffins, how could it be painted on a person, and this person was fine just now?"

At this time, Xiao Zhao suddenly twitched in pain, and then spit out black blood from his mouth. It seemed that his life was dying. The dumb sister didn't care about her fear at this time, she forced him down, and injected an antibiotic on his arm Going in, I don't know if it will work.

Human life is so fragile that in the blink of an eye, a well-behaved person can only breathe out but not breathe in.

After Xiao Zhao vomited a big mouthful of black blood again, he finally died, and I stopped and stood beside him, witnessing all the unbelievable things up close, watching it really happen, Xiao Zhao twisted and twisted in pain My face was already covered with bruises, and my body was also densely covered. At this moment, I suddenly felt a surge of anger from the bottom of my heart.

I sneered and said, "Uncle Jin, everyone is dead, so what are you afraid of, come and see what these execrable articles are about!"

Jin Suanzi glanced at me in surprise, didn't say anything, walked over obediently, carefully picked up Xiao Zhao's clothes, and began to translate while exclaiming:

"Probably means that he has entered the territory of the Queen Mother of the West. This is the Queen Mother's warning. This person is only a sacrifice to the Queen Mother. The crime of trespassing will not be investigated. If we go forward, I am afraid that everyone will be killed." There is no return..."

The translation was quite intimidating, and it had quite a shocking effect on our group of people. After listening to it, everyone began to whisper among themselves. It seems that many of them have retreated.

The second uncle pondered for a while, and finally said: "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, what we do is a life-or-death business. If you are scared away, you can change your career when you go back. The more vicious Lord, the rewards will be richer. Everyone here must understand this ideal. And now it is difficult to turn back. We are already trapped in this sandstone formation, and there may not be a way out if we turn back. If we don’t go back, let’s work together and go first. Go out and make plans."

The second uncle's soft and hard words really played a big role, everyone calmed down, and a guy asked: "Second Master, it's not that we are afraid of death, but this Queen Mother Xi is too vicious, so the brothers got confused for a while. Listen to you."

The second uncle went on to say: "Since you listen to me, let's deal with Xiao Zhao first, then find a place to rest for a night, and then find a way to go out tomorrow."

Everyone could only nod their heads and say yes, that Xiao Zhao's corpse was already hideous and very rash, so they had to put him in his own sleeping bag, pull him away from the crowd, and put some stones on it. It was dark and windy at night, and I was afraid of being taken away by animals. Although it was not decent, I didn't pay much attention to it.

I was very sad, knowing that there must be something strange about his death. Although Wu Xie and the others mentioned that Queen Mother Xi's methods were weird and ruthless, it was still too unimaginable to make a living person like this. I stared at the ground. Suddenly, I remembered that the dumb sister said that he had symptoms of poisoning. If it was poisoning, then he had touched my kettle, which may have a lot to do with it. When everyone was not paying attention, he secretly hid the kettle with a handkerchief.

When I was alone with my dumb sister at night, I took out the kettle and asked her to see what the problem was.

Ms. Dumb carefully squeezed the bottle through the handkerchief, and frowned when she smelled the mouth of the bottle. She said softly, "There is still a little pink substance in the mouth of the bottle, which smells like almonds. It should be potassium hydride."

I couldn't help but feel cold. I don't know when the poison was injected. I kept the water bottle close to my body all the time, but I didn't realize it. Who really wanted to harm me?

"Then even if Xiao Zhao touched the mouth of my bottle and didn't drink the water in it, wouldn't he be poisoned immediately? And what happened to the death letter on his body?" I asked suspiciously.

The dumb sister stared at the bottle cap, and said coldly: "Do you think there is only one kind of poison?"

I looked at her extremely complicated expression, and for a moment I didn't know how to ask further questions. I couldn't help being very scared. If I was the one who touched the bottle cap first, then the corpse lying there now would be me.

The timing of the poisoning is easy to speculate, it was just after I drank water for the last time, as for who it is, I’m afraid it’s an unsolvable answer, because I don’t know who can touch my things at all, and the one with the best chance should be Dumb Sister , she can definitely attack me at night while I am asleep, but it is impossible, because since last night, I can't not drink a drop of water a day, and she saved me in the desert before, although she looks indifferent, openly and secretly You have helped me a lot, and I can still feel this concern.

Dumb sister saw that I was silent, so it was inconvenient to say more, but she just reminded: "Since someone wants your life, you have to be more careful in the future. Don't lose your life if you haven't found the person you're looking for." Lost it, it's not worth it."

I looked at her pretty face, nodded heavily, and thought: "Yeah, I can't die until I find those three stinky men!"

Next, we each had our own concerns, and we had nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by a loud noise, only to hear a clerk yelling in horror: "I got up early in the morning to turn on the water, and saw that the sleeping bag suddenly smoked, and no one had ever touched it!"

I hurriedly got up, dressed and ran out. I saw everyone gathered around the place where Xiao Zhao's body was placed yesterday. When I got closer, I couldn't help but get goose bumps.

I saw the corpse as if it had been doused with gasoline, and the flames were raging to the sky. The sleeping bag had been burned to pieces, exposing the burnt flesh inside. I didn't see Xiao Zhao's face, and it must have changed. Terrible.

I smelled it, and apart from the smell of burnt cloth and flesh, there was indeed no smell of gasoline in the air.Could it be that the corpse spontaneously combusted?
