[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

In the midsummer weather, the old tree in the courtyard was screaming desperately, one after another, noisy and unconscious.The fat man is the most afraid of heat, even though the floor fan is whistling, the sweat on his body is still dripping down like a stream.Wu Xie sat paralyzed on a bamboo recliner, squinting his eyes and playing music. The soothing sound of ocean waves was specially recorded in the bluetooth headset, which made people drowsy.

Zhang Qiling is not afraid of the heat, sitting alone in a blind spot where the wind is not strong enough, quietly reading an old book in his hand, the paper has turned yellow, it looks a bit old, but it is in good condition.

The fat man flicked through the travel guide in his hand several times, Wu Xie was annoyed by the sound, pressed the earphones and was about to kick him a few times, when his ears suddenly became quiet.The fat man grinned so hard that his mouth reached the back of his head, and he pressed his hand on the touch of the small coffee table.

"Hurry up and let go, you, don't think that I will respect the old and love the young." Wu Xie glanced at him casually, feeling a little coolness on his body, so he gathered his shirt and buttoned it up.

"Thank you, Fatty, I'm in the prime of my life, and I'm so young. By the way, how long are we going to stay in Beijing? Now the south is much cooler than Beijing. When are we going back to the village? The old branch secretary called the day before yesterday to return Say three are missing and one is missing." The fat man put down his hands, turned to a certain page in the colorful guide and pushed it over, "Here, there is an ancient town near our village. There's a theatrical show or something. Shall we go back and see it?"

Wu Xie took the touch, changed to a fast-paced Chinese song, and did not lift her eyelids: "I said, you are fake watching the show, and avoiding disaster is the real thing, right? I haven't lived in your yard for a few days. Forced us into this small broken apartment, why do I remember that an old friend is looking for you. Let’s talk about going back to the village, what about my wife and baby, take them with you or leave them alone here?”

The fat man raised his eyebrows, and was about to refute in a hurry when the person behind him who had been sitting silently for a long time came over, set the fixed fan to shake his head, and then turned it to the smallest setting, and after finishing all this, he returned to the original position and continued to sit and read .

The two stared at him the whole time, thinking that there was some big move, but seeing that the other party didn't say a word, they both breathed a sigh of relief.The fat man coughed lightly and continued: "Then what, the siblings are going to participate in the summer training, and there will be a delay of ten days and a half months. You can say hello to her and then bring the little gentleman with you. It just so happens that the four of us are men. It's also convenient."

The younger brother and sister mentioned by the fat man are Zhou Xihe, who married Wu Xie a few years ago. They have a five-year-old child named Wu Jun, who has inherited the good genes of his father and mother, and has red lips and white teeth. Sweet, to please the whole family, Wu Xie's parents finally feel at ease.The old you sticks were also very happy with this kid, and even Zhang Qiling, who had always been reticent, played with the kid patiently and made him various handmade gadgets.The fat man also laughed and said that he took the name of a landlord at a young age, and he would have a great future in the future, so he might as well be called a little gentleman.The crowd didn't object, but thought it was convenient and auspicious, so they all called the boy by his nickname.

Wu Xie thought about it, and it was true that she hadn't been back for a while, and her daughter-in-law had a summer training in library management, and she had to study in Beijing for about 20 days.Besides, it is really reluctant to leave the little boy alone in his hometown and let his parents take care of him. Besides, the child is old enough, and he just takes it to the countryside to experience a pure life and lay the foundation for the upcoming primary school career.After thinking about it, he nodded: "There is some reason to say so, but I have to discuss it with Xihe, and I have to explain it to my old life." The parents will not talk about it. The grandma at home loves her grandson the most. They were all overjoyed, and if they didn't speak clearly, they might be punished.

"Come on! Look at your little brain circuit. If you figure it out early, it's over. He's really a married man, so his reaction is a bit slow. Fortunately, Fatty, I'm smart, and I didn't fall into the pit by myself, otherwise I would crawl I can't even get out." The fat man settled the matter with a slap on his thigh, yelling about when to book the ticket, and stared at Zhang Qiling as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Brother, are you alright? Are there any other arrangements for the future? It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient, but the little gentleman may have to make a fuss for a while, and he usually likes you quite a lot."

The fat man turned around and said to him, Wu Xie also looked up to see his reaction.

Zhang Qiling stopped flipping the pages of the book, and after a while, he replied calmly: "No problem. We can take him back to Hangzhou first, and go to the Louwailou for dinner."

"My little brother is really thoughtful. It's been a long time since the three of us have eaten, especially the Dongpo pork, tsk tsk, I can't even think about it." The fat man raised his thumb, agreeing with his thoughts.

Wu Xie wasn't fooled, he cut the song and said, "Forget it, I don't know you yet? It's obviously the greedy bug in your stomach that's making trouble. Brother Ren just takes care of you, an old greedy cat."

"Hey, you old boy, don't think that with the support of your younger brother and daughter-in-law, you can have five people and six in front of your fat man. Back then, when the fat man was eating gold, silver and drunk to enjoy the beauty, you didn't know where to lick it. What about popsicles. Let me tell you, if it wasn’t for the little gentleman’s sake, I’d be in a hurry with you today.”

However, someone with earphones had already turned up the volume and immersed himself in the ocean of music, and ignored him at all.Fatty felt that no one answered his move and was bounced back silently, so he could only pick his toes boredly.

The three of them sat silently to enjoy the shade again. In the summer afternoon, time passed very slowly like a stretched candy bar.Hearing another burst of loud cicadas, the fat man was already snoring softly with his eyes closed. Apart from the slight snore, there was the sound of the pages of the book next to him being blown away.Wu Xie had listened to countless songs, and there was an inexplicable sound outside the door, and the next moment a child in a bright yellow shirt and gray shorts pushed open the courtyard door.

"Daddy, daddy! I'm back!" The boy pushed open the door, rolled into Wu Xie's arms like a whirlwind, and kept patting his daddy's face. eat!"

When the fat man on the side heard this, he immediately picked up the short sleeves on the back of the chair and put them on.

"Little gentleman, is your mother's friend's house fun?" The fat man asked with a smile, his eyes glanced outside the door from time to time.

The little boy yelled "Fatty Uncle", then ran towards the fat man, plunged into his big chest@chest and then raised his head and said, "It's fun, Aunt Li's house has a lot of toys, but Xiaohai doesn't like playing with building blocks, so let's play with blocks." Just play puzzles."

The fat man stroked his little head, then turned to the man on the reclining chair and said, "Look, this shrunken version is more interesting. Tsk tsk, sweet-talking people are soft-hearted."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy broke free from the fat man's thick arms, squatted beside Zhang Qiling and leaned over his head and asked, "Uncle Boring, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Qiling raised his head, his eyes fainted with a little smile, he turned the book over and pointed, the boy looked at the words on it, and read it word by word: "Quick~Yuan~Shou~Gu, hey, this name is so strange. "

"Tao, the way of reason. It's not the first." Wu Xie interjected, and then walked across the courtyard towards the door. After a while, voices came from outside the courtyard. A young woman followed him in and helped him With a heavy bag in his hand, when passing by the three fatty people, Zhou Xihe greeted them one by one with a smile, and walked side by side to the small living room to put down their things.Wu Xie looked at her slightly flushed face, thin sweat made a strand of hair stick to her forehead, stretched out his hand to stroke it, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How is today's class? What did you teach?"

Zhou Xi and Jingjing stared at him: "Today is an exchange meeting, let us exchange daily work and experience with the staff of the National Expo, and the formal training will start tomorrow. What about you, how have you been these few days? Are you at home all day and night? That’s not okay, you have to go out for a walk.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Jun hugged her thigh: "Mom, quickly take out the things - Fatty's saliva is about to flow to his feet!"

The two turned their heads together, and the fat man was looking at them with an indescribable expression.Suddenly, a series of familiar ringtones flashed in Wu Xie's mind, as well as the classic lyrics "singledogsingledogsinglealltheway~~~"

Zhang Qiling on the side looked unfazed.

After eating the snacks and sago dew brought by Zhou Xihe, most of the summer heat finally subsided.When Wu Xie told her about her plan to take the little gentleman back to the countryside, she was rinsing the dishes in the sink.After hearing her husband's words, she dried her hands, then turned to look at him and said worriedly: "Then you have to be careful, I know that my little brother is good at skills, but I can't always guard you all the time. And Xiaojun usually likes to kick the quilt when he sleeps." , don’t cover him too thickly, otherwise, what if the two men catch a cold at night?”

Wu Xie hugged her into his arms, stroked her back and said, "I see."

"Also," the person in his arms leaned his head lightly on his shoulder, "Don't talk to pretty girls, the fat man is dishonest, I'll ask my brother when I come back."

"Ah."

He kissed the top of the other's hair, letting the soft hair brush against his face.

Two days later, the three big men and the little gentleman left Beijing and boarded a plane heading south to Hangzhou.

"Sir, is she really okay?" Ye Mei asked anxiously after seeing the other party take back her wand and wrote a few lines in the notebook.

The therapist glanced at her: "Why, do you still hope that your friend is okay? Don't worry, she is just a sequela of over-migration, and a little symptom of magic disorder. Without timely treatment, now I only need to observe here for a few days, and I can go back without any follow-up adverse symptoms. Remember to let her rest more and not be too tired."

After listening, she was greatly relieved, and after sending the therapist out, she returned to the hospital bed and sat down.She held Jiang Lin's thin wrist and said, "Fortunately, it's nothing serious, so you can stay here with peace of mind. I've asked Director Xu for leave. When the time comes, go out and see how my mother will deal with those two pests!"

Jiang Lin put the other hand on the back of her hand: "That's it, don't cause any trouble, since they used the Unforgivable Curse and attacked Aurors, these two crimes are enough to make them drink a pot It's gone."

"Well, I just couldn't be more angry. The two of us have been in office for a short time, who knows that we will encounter such unlucky things." Ye Mei sighed lightly, "Then you have spent this week in Yili. ? At that time, you were obviously hit by a spell, why did you disappear later?"

"I don't know, but when I woke up, I was in the Gobi desert. If the herdsmen passing by didn't find it, it would be terrible."

"But the wizard hospital over there said that you only stayed for four days. Where were you before? You won't be in a coma forever, right?" Ye Mei tilted her head thinking.

Jiang Lin shook her head, she couldn't tell her friend anything, because she had no memory of what happened before she woke up.I just feel exhausted, my wand is broken, and the magic power in my body is very unstable.

But she always felt as if something important had been overlooked by herself.

Fortunately, her follow-up observation and treatment went well, and they left the hospital five days later.Ye Mei went to the Auror Department with her, and the two provided a complete testimony, successfully sending the guys who had pleaded not guilty before to the Yunsen Tower.Afterwards, Jiang Lin's mental state gradually improved, but the wand needed to be repurchased.

This day, she took Ye Mei with her, planning to go out after lunch to see if she could buy a suitable wand.Just as she was about to go out, there was a cry outside the window. Ye Mei opened the window, and a sturdy barn owl flew in, dropped a small package, and flew away quickly.The two looked at each other suspiciously.

"Isn't this what you bought?" Jiang Lin looked at her and asked.

Ye Mei waved her hand: "It's not me, I've been so busy recently, who has time to buy things."

She cast several detection spells, but nothing happened.At this time, the two people came together, and Ye Mei opened the package. Under the wrapping paper was a slender sandalwood box, which looked quite expensive.She looked at Jiang Lin, but there was no response from the other party, so Ye Mei opened the box with confidence, and a familiar magic wand lay quietly on the black velvet floor.

"This, this is similar to yours." She said in surprise.

But Jiang Lin was even more puzzled. She picked up the wand and looked at it carefully. The texture and length were the same as her wand.The girl lightly chanted a spell towards the void, and a cute snow fox jumped out from the tip of the stick, circled around the two of them a few times, and gradually disappeared.

"How is it? Is there any problem?" She leaned forward and said, staring at the wand in his hand.

Jiang Lin was stunned, and then came back to his senses and said, "No, there's nothing wrong with it, it's very similar to the one I used before."

"That's just right, and it saves money. But I'd better take it to the wand shop and show it to the old master, just in case."

The girl didn't make a sound, just flipped through it with her wand.

Ye Mei cleaned up the things on the table, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door and said, "By the way, do you remember the Auror exchange meeting organized by the headquarters I mentioned to you earlier? It will start next week, we can just go and have a look, it will be considered as a tourist."

She walked over to take a sip of scented tea, and threw a bottle of lemonade at Jiang Lin, who took it easily, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

"Oh, I remember. When will you sign up? If you have to pay, forget it." Jiang Lin squinted her eyes comfortably after swallowing the lemonade. She still had some scruples about fees and the like.Although the Jiang family had never treated her badly in recent years, she still didn't want to ask them for money, otherwise she wouldn't move to the Muggle area with Ye Mei to share the rent.However, the shopping, transportation and other daily life here are indeed much more convenient than the wizarding residential area.

"What kind of money do you pay? It's public money. It's almost the summer solstice. Lin'an doesn't hold any activities this year, so some people in the team have been transferred to Chencang. Those with senior qualifications went there a few years ago, and now there are only a few people who meet the requirements. , we have just been employed for one year, so we can go." Ye Mei held the soda can, her eyes were full of anticipation, "Think about it, we can also meet wizards from ethnic minorities, and I heard that there will be witch performances. dance, just to enrich my religious studies."

Jiang Lin was finally relieved after hearing this, and she said she could go.

"By the way, has Professor He contacted you recently? After hearing that you disappeared, he was very anxious. He almost overturned the Auror's office. Old man Xu managed to persuade him. Now you have been discharged from the hospital for so long and haven't come here. Look at you, something is wrong."

The girl frowned when she heard her say this: "I don't know, the professor didn't send a message. Maybe the students are busy with work recently, it's the graduation season."

"It's true." Ye Mei put the soda in one fell swoop, and boldly proposed, "Sister is going on a quick trip hahahahaha... hiccup~"

Jiang Lin couldn't help laughing, his brows and eyes curved.

Fat Lord, how does it feel to be fed dog food anytime and anywhere~
