[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

Chapter 35 Surprise @Change and Honesty

As soon as the first month passed, people returning to their hometowns left their hometowns and continued to work hard in various cities, and the streets gradually became calm as usual.A Yuan and Zhang Qiling are busy day by day, they rarely see the girl every week, except on weekends, they can occasionally meet her face to face.After A Yuan almost had an accident in the ancient tomb, he seldom took over the field work. He has been staying in the shop to do odd jobs and do handicraft work. Naturally, it is less than Zhang Qiling.And the other one is now worth quite a lot because of his performance in the field several times, but he rarely talks to others, and everyone on the road is called "dumb Zhang".

"Master Zhang, what is the origin of this tomb? I always feel panicked." A Yuan folded his hands and shrunk his shoulders. The dark environment in the tomb seemed to make the tense atmosphere even more dull.

"Oh, kid, are you scared? If you're afraid, don't come here." The man wearing sunglasses laughed loudly.

The young boy who was choked scratched his head and added shyly: "The main reason is that the lama's asking price is high this time. I just want to join in the fun and save enough money to open a snack bar by myself when I go back. My girlfriend Isn’t it about graduating soon, and I want to live in peace and stability in the future.”

"Oh? You little devil is so good at planning. Congratulations first. I will give you a discount when you come to the store in the future." The black blind man patted A Yuan on the shoulder to express his encouragement, and the others also booed. Suddenly, Zhang Qiling in front of him made a silent gesture, everyone shut their mouths as if a button had been pressed, and held their breath to pay attention to the movement around them.

For a while, there was no sound in the tomb passage, and several people clenched the things in their hands, just waiting to strike back if there was any movement.

Zhang Qiling put one hand on the ground, concentrated on feeling the sudden voice just now, and the serious look on his face made the people around him even more frightened.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and the black blind man suddenly said softly: "Why don't I go over and take a look first, and we can't let us stay here just because a person is missing." After entering the robbery hole on one side, there were some subtle noises from inside from time to time, and it took a while to hear a clear whistle.

The rest of the people knew that there was no danger ahead, and got into the robbery hole one after another.Zhang Qiling followed A Yuan, and after entering, he realized that it was bigger than the front hall they had seen just now. With the flashlights of the people around him, he could see that there were paintings on the walls of the tomb chamber, and the colors were relatively bright, like A group of people are traveling, surrounded by a person in the middle, wearing a crown and a robe on the forehead, looking either rich or expensive.

Just now a guy rushed into this tomb and disappeared. At this time, several other guys gathered in the middle of the tomb as if they had discovered something. A Yuan was not in a hurry. He scanned the murals with his flashlight and saw There is an independent painting on the top of the tomb in the middle, with several figures dotted on several concentric circles.He counted them, and there were exactly twelve of them, each with a different pattern, resembling a human being but not a human being, and some of them resembled animals.

Hei Xiazi was holding a gun and standing aside, playing with a piece of jade that he found somewhere. At this time, a group of people gathered in the middle had already taken out their tools and were about to pry open the coffin on the stone platform.

Zhang Qiling heard an exclamation, then turned around and saw two guys being dragged by something, quickly fell into the stone platform and disappeared.A faint voice came from under the stone platform, but it was indistinct.The two people next to him were frightened for a moment, and when they were about to withdraw their hands, Shitai slid open a gap, stretched out a blood-spattered withered hand and tore one of the guys off.The man who was caught pulled out the dagger from his waist and waved his hand, but the withered hand only stopped for a moment, and then dragged him into the stone platform with greater force.The man was so frightened that he stretched out his hands to grab the companion beside him. The latter couldn't dodge in time, and he also staggered to fall, and then was firmly grasped by his calf with both hands.

A Yuan was sweating profusely and grabbed the man's leg. Zhang Qiling on the side had already rushed over. He noticed that the neck of the man who had been dragged off by the withered hand had been bitten with blood, but he was still pulling his companion with his last breath. Obviously lifeless, he drew out his dagger and cut off the man's hand.Only then was A Yuan able to drag out that hapless companion, and the two thanked Zhang Qiling panting, then got up with lingering fear and wanted to stay away from the dangerous and strange stone platform, but at this moment they found that the black blind man was pointing a gun at them.

A Yuan wanted to wave his hand subconsciously, but the guy suddenly pulled off his sleeve.He turned his head and saw that the stone platform had been opened again at some point, and at this moment, squatting on the dark coffin, there was a humanoid thing, staring straight at them with a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Bang!" After a gunshot, the monster on the coffin shook its body and made an owl-like cry, then jumped off the board and attacked the nearest Zhang Qiling. The latter quickly flipped twice and stopped side.It reached out to grab A Yuan instead, but the boy couldn't dodge in time, his back was scratched with blood by sharp nails, and his flesh was turned out.He waved the shovel in his hand, and with a fierce blow, he slapped the monster, and A Yuan rolled against the wall.

After the monster shook its head and stood still, it wanted to pounce on the prey that was approaching. A black figure flashed by and kicked it to the ground.The monster seemed to be finally irritated, and the sound it made was harsher and faster than before. Just as it was about to jump up, there was a gust of wind behind it, and the black blind man saw the monster's movements stagnate, and the whole body fell to the ground together with the head, making a dull sound. sound.

Zhang Qiling held the short knife in his hand and maintained the posture when he drew the knife. After the monster in front of him fell to the ground, he got up. He walked to the boy and looked at the other's injury, and then said in a calm voice: "Go quickly."

The guy came back to his senses, and quickly set up A Yuan, and the two staggered out behind Hei Xiazi.Zhang Qiling took one last look at the blood-smelling tomb, and went out along the robbery hole he had come in.

When he got back to the ground, Ah Yuan was already sweating, and the wound on his back was also oozing blood. The situation was very bad.They dug out all the medicines, treated the wound as much as possible, and then quickly withdrew from the forest.

Two days later, they returned to the handicap, and Ah Yuan's condition still didn't improve, and he never woke up.But when he went to the hospital, he couldn't find out what was going on. The doctor shook his head with the film and said that the inability of his wound to heal might be caused by some kind of toxin.

Zhang Qiling was suddenly stopped by Jiang Lin when Zhang Qiling went back to the building to get the boy's change of clothes.

"What's wrong with A Yuan, is something wrong?" Her expression was a little anxious, as if she knew something.

Zhang Qiling nodded: "I was injured a little bit, and I'm still in a coma, and I haven't recovered from it."

The girl immediately said, "Take me to see it."

Then the two came to the hospital. It was the evening, and almost all the people who accompanied the bed had gone to eat.Jiang Lin followed the man to A Yuan's hospital bed. The boy was lying weakly, his eyes closed, and the needle was pricked in his hand, and he was infusing the medicine bit by bit.She took the opponent's wrist and opened the sleeve, revealing a string of sandalwood beads. When someone picked it up, it immediately gave off a faint gleam.

She frowned for a while, and then said softly: "The protective magic on it is almost exhausted. If this doesn't work, I have to go to a therapist." She turned to look at the man, "Where did he go, how did he suffer?" Such a serious injury?"

"The ancient tomb looks like it was injured by a blood corpse."

"Huh," she asked suspiciously, "what are you going to do in the ancient tomb? What is a blood corpse, a type of infernal corpse? Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. Originally, there was magic power attached to the beads, It can play a protective role, but now it is almost disappearing. It seems that the blood corpse is more dangerous."

She got up and was about to say something when the door of the ward was pushed open suddenly, and the blind man walked in carrying a bag. He was taken aback when he saw the two of them, and soon returned to his usual laughing and incoherent appearance.

"Oh, what a coincidence, both of you are here, but I only brought one meal, or I'll watch here, and you go out to eat first?" He walked in, put the bag on the cabinet and said.

"Thank you, no need." Jiang Lin politely refused, and turned to Zhang Qiling, "It's best to take A Yuan to see a therapist as soon as possible. I'll talk to Brother Cheng tomorrow. I'm afraid it will damage the brain if you go into a coma. Wait a minute I'll bring some palliative."

Zhang Qiling nodded.

Jiang Lin suddenly thought of something and added: "You didn't tell Yunyun—it's about A Yuan's girlfriend, right?" She noticed that Hei Xiazi's expression was a little puzzled, and she explained it a little.

"Not really, but if he doesn't wake up tomorrow, we have to notify his family." The blind man said enthusiastically.

She nodded as if relieved, and asked some more about the boys before leaving.

Heixiazi stared at A Yuan with great interest after the girl left: "Why, are you going to seek medical treatment by yourself?"

Seeing that Zhang Qiling didn't answer, he was neither angry nor annoyed: "You and I know about this kid's situation. At that time, the things in the bucket were not very easy to deal with. It might be poisonous if it gets on it. It's only good fortune that he survived until now. However, If the person you are looking for can't be cured this time, you have to find a way to send him a ride, lest he suffer in vain."

When he said the last sentence, there was an extra layer of cruelty in his tone.

"I know." Zhang Qiling responded, looking at the medicine bottle hanging above A Yuan's head, there was still a little half of the liquid, which was slowly flowing into his weak body little by little.

Two hours later, Jiang Lin arrived in a hurry, and the blind man was long gone.She took out a bottle of potion from the small bag in her hand, and with Zhang Qiling's help, the light purple potion was poured into the boy's mouth.They waited quietly, after a while Ah Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

"Where is this place? Why is Sister Xiaolin here?" A Yuanren girl asked in a daze as she wiped the blood from her face.

"Don't worry, you're just sick. You'll be fine when the doctor sees it." Jiang Lin explained softly, and when he was almost able to catch his breath, he motioned for the man to carry him on his back.

They went through the discharge procedures and called a car to return to their residence quickly.

After Zhang Qiling placed A Yuan in the room, he saw Jiang Lin take out his magic wand, and a series of complicated and obscure spells were read out from the girl's mouth. Some small bright silk threads burst out from the tip of the wand, and they wrapped around the boy like life. Then disappears under the skin.After a while, some dazzling light escaped from the boy.

She frowned and looked at everything in front of her, and said worriedly: "The situation is still very bad. I have seen the wounded who were attacked by the ghost corpse before, but it is different from A Yuan's situation. The therapist will not come until tomorrow at the earliest. I'll take care of him tonight, and I'll call you if I need anything."

He thought about it for a while and said, "Let's watch the night alone."

She thought about it but did not refuse, turned around and went to the bathroom to get a basin of water, began to wipe A Yuan's sweaty forehead, and asked Zhang Qiling to help change the boy's clothes.She asked the other party to wash up first, and when Zhang Qiling came to the room in the middle of the night, the previous armchair was replaced with a reclining chair, which seemed to be transformed by Jiang Lin with magic.The girl pointed to one of them and left the room.

After a while, the door creaked open, Jiang Lin closed it lightly and put down the kettle and cup beside the bed. After she poured water for A Yuan to drink, she looked at it for a while before she walked to another chair and sat down.

"Zhang Qiling, to be honest. What did you go to the ancient tomb for?" She didn't rush to rest, but looked at him and asked seriously.

"Go down with some buddies and get some valuables."

"Tomb robber?" She frowned and guessed.The teacher mentioned this illegal occupation in the History of Magic class before, and both wizards and Muggles are engaged in this.However, seeing it with her own eyes was still inconceivable. She felt that tomb robbers should not be like them, but the few groups of people who had entered and exited the building before did have that vicious temperament.

Zhang Qiling didn't respond, it was acquiescence.

"Although this is also a way of making a living, I shouldn't talk too much. But it still feels bad. Haven't you thought about doing other things? Besides, grave robbery should be a very dangerous thing, right?"

"My goal is not money." He paused, as if he was thinking about whether to reveal his thoughts and plans to the girl in front of him,

"When we met for the first time, I didn't remember my name, and I didn't know who I was. I didn't have any impression of family members, friends, or even an acquaintance. I only had to go to those tombs and come into contact with those dangerous and treacherous institutions. I have a feeling of déjà vu. And feeling is a luxury to me, just like memory is to me.”

"It is estimated that no one exists like me, just like dust, insignificant, no one cares about the existence and disappearance of a speck of dust."

He said so many words infrequently, and then fell silent.

Jiang Lin suddenly felt that his nose was sore, and the suffocating feeling of being burned by the fire hit him again.

"I understand." She said slowly after a while, in a sad tone he had never heard before, as if standing outside time, "Many times I wonder why it is me, why I choose At this time, I am very happy to see them, but I can't say anything, I always feel that there is an invisible barrier between them, which cannot be broken or circumvented. They are the closest people, but now they have become strangers."

"Maybe no matter what time it is, I'm the extra person."

Zhang Qiling looked up at the girl's silent and sad face, and suddenly remembered that he had been ignoring the question before: "Jiang Yu...are you sisters?"

"Eh?" The girl froze for a moment, her originally sad brows and eyes were replaced by dumbfounding, "Why do you have such an idea? However, maybe she is really my long-lost relative."

Zhang Qiling was noncommittal, but there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes.

She stood up and said "I leave it to you", then opened the door and went upstairs.

Zhang Qiling lay on the chair, a little worried about the boy's current situation.And today Jiang Lin also asked about the ancient tomb. Although he didn't continue to ask in the end, he felt a little uncomfortable. Is it embarrassing?He didn't know that emotions can kill people in many cases, and emotional fluctuations are almost fatal, so he learned to control his emotions a long time ago.

But this time is different.He covered his heart and looked at the white ceiling.He didn't even resent this feeling, nor did he want to deliberately ignore it.

This kind of emotion is the same as that of normal people, the feeling that I am still alive.
