[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

When Jiang Lin went downstairs with the box in his hands, he was surprised to see Zhang Qiling sitting opposite A Yuan, with a game of Go in front of them.She thought she was dazzled, but when she got closer, she found that she was indeed playing chess.Yun Yun, who was sitting next to A Yuan, held a copy of "Love in a Fallen City" in his hand, and looked up to watch the battle from time to time. When he saw her, he immediately smiled and waved to her.

A Yuan frowned and took the white piece in his hand, not sure where to play it, after a long while, he put it on the board densely covered with black and white pieces.Zhang Qiling pondered for a while, and quickly placed a black stone at the place where A Yuan dropped the ball just now, and then picked up several white stones and put them aside under A Yuan's almost heartbroken expression.The boy held the chess piece up and down, and finally let it go.

Yun Yun patted her boyfriend's arm and comforted, "It's okay, you play well." Seeing Jiang Lin standing aside, she seemed very interested, "Xiao Lin, do you want to try it, but Mr. Zhang is very good at chess , Ah Yuan lost several times."

"No, no, I'll forget it. It's just interesting to watch you play chess. My friends also liked to play chess before, but our game is different from this one." Jiang Lin waved her hand quickly, and she handed a pink box to Yunyun, A Yuan's is a blue box, "New Year's gift."

Finally, she handed a slightly larger box to Zhang Qiling, who hesitated for a moment but took it.

A few people thanked and opened it, and Yun Yun couldn't help admiring a string of silver necklaces. On it was a small Y-shaped symbol, but there was a twig in the middle that was flush with the other two branches, and the symbol was embellished with Finely crushed amethyst looks novel and mysterious.A Yuan's is a sandalwood bracelet. If you look closely, each wooden bead is engraved with symbols, which look like English letters, but they are not written in a conventional way.

Zhang Qiling opened the box, and inside was a copy of "Kuaiyuan Daogu".Seeing Yunyun, he said in surprise: "Why, does Mr. Zhang like to read Zhang Dai's books?"

He nodded slightly, took out the book and flipped through it, looking calm.Seeing that the other party was quite satisfied, Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

A Yuan put the bead string on his hand and looked at it, then asked: "Hey sister, you just said you play chess with your friends, what kind of chess do you play?"

"Well, it's called Luboqi. The chessboard is different from Go, and there are not so many chess pieces. There are only twelve pieces, six for each person." Jiang Lin sat down on the sofa on the other side, looked at the endgame on the chessboard in front of him, and explained, taking Pick up a white chip and look at the light.

"Huh? Never heard of it."

Yun Yun also asked curiously: "Lu Bo? What kind of chess is that? Is it fun?"

Jiang Lin put down the white stone, picked up another black stone and said, "It's not fun, my friends win every time, and one time it made me late for class."

"Oh. By the way, where did you go to school, Kobayashi?"

"Uh... I studied in Chen——in Xi'an." She was a little nervous, and couldn't stop rubbing the smooth chess piece in her hand.

"Then what major do you study?" Yunyun seemed very interested in girls' education.

"Hmm...Chemistry." Jiang Lin thought that he was working in a potion shop now, so he should be considered a major in chemistry.

"Sounds pretty awesome."

She repeatedly waved her hands and said that was not the case. Fortunately, the other party did not continue to ask.

After dinner in the afternoon, A Yuan and Yun Yun went out for shopping. She checked the list of ingredients for the potion in her room, silently calculating how much money she had to save.Jiang Lin stayed alone for a while, then came to the living room to study Go again, unexpectedly there were already two people in the living room.

A man in black, wearing sunglasses, was leisurely leaning back on the sofa with his feet up and a teacup in hand.Zhang Qiling sat opposite the man, with a serious expression on his face.At this time, the two found someone opened the door and both looked at her.

Jiang Lin said embarrassingly "I'm sorry" and wanted to close the door and leave, but the next moment the door was firmly grasped by a strong arm.

The black blind man smiled casually with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Oh, don't rush to leave. Our business has just finished, come, come, there are still more places inside."

……

She walked in feeling dizzy and was about to leave after picking up the game of go.The black blind man spotted the thing in her hand with sharp eyes, stopped her and said, "Go is good for two people to play. What are you doing after taking it away by yourself? Why don't we come next time, how about it?"

"Uh, actually I don't know, I just want to study it because it looks interesting."

"Oh? That's just right. Mute, won't you? Let's show this lovely girl."

She turned to look at Zhang Qiling. At this moment, the other party's expression was a little subtle, but she quickly said, "OK."

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if he didn't agree, what else would the black man do, maybe he would draw her to play chess.She sat down on the armchair on one side and watched the two play chess quietly.

"The rules of the game are actually very simple: two players play chess, and the black stone goes first." The blind man pushed his sunglasses, and unceremoniously picked up a black stone and placed it on the chessboard.The other side also naturally dropped a white piece.

"The chess can only be placed at the intersection point. Whoever surrounds the largest field wins." He explained while making the chess, and after a while, many black and white chess pieces were dotted on the chessboard.

Jiang Lin rested his chin on both hands and watched the movements of the two. He still didn't understand some things, but he understood the basic rules.The two played for another half an hour, and finally Zhang Qiling stopped playing, but leaned on the back of the sofa and said, "I lost."

The blind man crossed his long legs on the other leg, and smiled happily: "Accept." Then he tilted his head and looked at the surprised girl, "I'm sorry, I won over your boyfriend."

She smiled and didn't know how to respond, she could only silently reach out and pick up the chess pieces on the board.The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

"But you are living a good life, and there is a beautiful woman by your side. I thought you were alone like me, by the way." The black blind man looked around the room, "Where did that stupid boy go? "

Seeing that Zhang Qiling ignored him, Jiang Lin quickly said, "Ah Yuan went out with his girlfriend."

"Oh, that's it. It's getting late, and I won't bother you. Bye." The blind man stood up and said, then raised his chin to the silent man.

"Let's talk next time we meet."

When the strange Hei Ye was finally sent away, Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. After finishing the chessboard in front of her, she was about to say goodnight to Zhang Qiling and went upstairs, but at this time the other party spoke without warning.

"You don't need to pay attention to the black blind man."

She stopped and nodded: "Got it—you should rest early." When she reached the door, she added, "But he seems to be better at chess than you."

After the girl finished speaking, she thumped and went upstairs.

Zhang Qiling was left to sit on the sofa alone. After a while, he picked up the book at hand and turned to the previous page.He took off the wooden bookmark on it, and then read the previous content.

Two weeks passed quickly, they sent Yun Yun away, and Jiang Lin's vacation was over.When she came to Man Yu Mo Pharmacy, Cheng Yun had already opened the door and started cleaning the shop.Seeing her coming at this time, he greeted her warmly.With the cooperation of the two, the shop was quickly cleaned. When she used her magic wand to put the last piece of rag into the cupboard, a familiar gentle female voice came from the door.

"Cheng Yun, Xiao Lin, how are you? How was your vacation?" Their boss was opening the door and walking in, hanging the light purple scarf in his hand on a shelf beside him.

"It's pretty good, but I don't get enough sleep, and I want to stay in bed every day." Jiang Lin took out a booklet and flipped through it, checking the potions in the cabinet.

Cheng Yun also said a few words with a smile, and then the three of them went about their own business.

Jiang Lin checked for a while, then reached out to grab a can of unicorn horn powder, but the cabinet was too high, so she had to tiptoe to reach it.

"What's going on in your hand?" The witch who was weighing the ashen snake egg suddenly asked, she put down the brass scale, and came over to hold the girl's hand.

Jiang Lin couldn't dodge in time, so he could only let the other party hold her wrist.Yao Hui stroked the scar, and then said, "It looks like a knife wound, do you want to consider using some potion to remove the scar?"

She hesitated: "Forget it, I'll take a look at it later." She didn't save enough money, and the special potion was too expensive, so she couldn't use it for nothing.

"Well, in this case, you make three more doses of refreshing potion and life-death water each week, for a total of three months, I can let you use this potion in advance, do you think it's okay?" Yao Hui saw her concerns, After thinking about it for a while, I came up with this compromise.

She thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.Refreshing Potion and Water of Life and Death are relatively popular potions in the store, but because the production process is complicated and time-consuming, they have always adopted a limited supply model.In this way, she didn't have to worry about owed to the witch, let alone her former friends.

After getting off work on Saturday, Yao Hui gave her a bottle of magic medicine as promised, and the small bottle contained a blue liquid.After she got home, she opened it and tried it, but the scar on her wrist was only slightly warm, and there was no sign of fading.

Maybe it takes a while to work?She put down the swab and capped the potion bottle.

Early the next morning, she checked her wrist and felt a little bad after making sure there was no change. Even when A Yuan asked her to eat at noon, she didn't feel much better.

Could it be invalid?But Yao Hui couldn't do such a thing.She shook her head and rejected this guess.

But when Jiang Lin saw the back of Zhang Qiling leaning on the sofa reading a book, he suddenly remembered something.She silently calculated the possibility of success, and then boldly leaned over. From this angle, she could find the other party's drooping eyelashes and the hair on his forehead.

It seems like the hair has grown again.

"Uh, do you have time to try this scar removal potion for me? You don't need to drink it, it's just for external use." She hesitated for a moment, but said it bravely.

The other party raised his head from the page without appearing impatient.

She hurriedly handed over the bottle of Lan Yingying's potion.

Zhang Qiling glanced at the things in the girl's hands, then put down the book, and then took off the long-sleeved shirt, revealing his lean muscles.

……

She suddenly felt the surroundings suddenly become quiet, and the sound from the electric heater next to her was very clear.

The girl turned her head almost immediately. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the other party had turned around and turned her entire back to her.Only then did Jiang Lin dare to look over. The scar on the man's body was not very obvious, but there was a long and narrow mark near the left shoulder blade, about two fingers long, like a knife wound.She took a tissue, opened the bottle, poured some potion, and rubbed it on the scar.Unexpectedly, after a while, a few thin black lines appeared, like tattoos or the like.She was startled, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter, you still have black lines on your back! This didn't happen when I used it."

"It's a tattoo, and it will appear when it is heated." Zhang Qiling explained without turning his head.

"Oh." She secretly complained that she was making too much fuss, and then poured some potion on it.She stretched out her hand to feel the temperature of the skin around the scar, and it was still hot. "It will probably take a few hours, and then you can see how it works."

Zhang Qiling responded, and was about to put on his clothes when he heard an exclamation from the door.

"Ahh, I didn't see anything, you guys continue...continue..." A Yuan hurriedly explained, and then hurried back to the room.

"Huh?" Jiang Lin looked at the direction where the other party disappeared with a puzzled face, got up and threw the tissue into the trash can.When she turned around to pick up the medicine bottle on the coffee table, the other party was putting on a sweater, with a clear view of the firm belly.

Uh.

Jiang Lin picked up the glass bottle: "If it works, you can just say so if you still want to use it. It's a waste if you don't use it anyway."

"The scar on your wrist hasn't been removed." Zhang Qiling suddenly pointed to her hand and said, at this time the girl's sleeve was just pulled up a little, and there was a conspicuous mark on it.

She couldn't help rolling down her sleeves, and said with a smile: "I don't know why, it seems that it can't be removed, so I want to find someone to try. It probably has something to do with the cause of the injury, not every wound is suitable."

"Oh." The other party replied lightly.

When she was lying on the bed after washing at night and flipping through the medicine book, she suddenly thought of the man's muscles during the day.

Oh shit.

Divider ——————————————

In a towering ancient forest, the plateau’s blazing sun brings limited heat, which is exhausted at night. Tall spruces block the moonlight, and the temperature in the shade is very low. A few seedlings are struggling to stretch branch.The night sky above the plateau is extremely clear, like the most remote and deep sea, with a faint belt like white gauze running across it, surrounded by countless bright and different stars, converging into a magnificent galaxy, flowing endlessly for hundreds of millions of years .

Two pairs of powerful horse hoofs stepped on the wet moss. Its owner was a bronze-colored centaur. His upper body was like a strong athlete, and his waist became the shape of an ordinary horse.Behind him was a companion who was a little smaller and looked like a silver-maned horse, with brown eyes full of melancholy.

"Did you see that, Arka?" asked the bronze-colored centaur, walking to the edge of the forest and looking at the stars in the sky.

The centaur named Alka nodded and said sadly: "Yes, the previous alien star has begun to change, and the destiny it carries will arrive here in the near future. Zhandui, we don't need to avoid it. A Destiny Star is not in any danger."

"Indeed." Zhandui paved the wet soil with his hoof, then turned and walked back to the deep forest.Another centaur glanced at the bright starry sky, finally shook his head and turned back to follow his companion.

The author has something to say:

Summarize the places you have written before.

The first is the Sino-Vietnamese border in Guangxi, the Yaozhai where my brother lived.

Followed by Xi'an, Chencang is located in Xi'an, which is an ancient place name.

It is Hangzhou again, and Yuyao is also called Taoqiu, an ancient place name.

Then there is the forest that appears at the end of this chapter, you can guess it.

Finally, I recommend a documentary, "Song of the Forest", which is a good film. I watched it in junior high school, and I still revisit it from time to time. It talks about several typical forest areas.Personally, I like the article about Qinling Mountains, as well as the red pine forest.
