[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

Jiang Lin felt her scalp go numb, she pulled off her backpack and said, "How about this, Mr. Zhang, I'll go to the Ruoben Museum over there first. Feel free to see anything you want." As she spoke, she went to the next exhibition hall.

Zhang Qiling followed silently, his mind was already running fast, all of which were the speech skills that Fatty and Wu Xie gave him a sudden surprise during this time.Finally, when Jiang Lin stood in front of a landscape painting, he chose a topic.

"You like ancient paintings very much?" It's better not to be from before the Tang Dynasty, and not to have any pictures of Han Xizai's night banquet, he doesn't want to make people panic because of the painting.How about telling Wu Xie to see if he can get it.

Jiang Lin turned his head and moved aside: "Not really, I have seen some ancient landscape paintings at my grandfather's house, and I think they are quite familiar."

"Grandfather? Are you in contact with the old man?" Zhang Qiling had never heard the other party mention his family, except for telling him the names of his parents last time.Thinking about it now, I didn't have much contact with Jiang Yu and the others at that time, and I didn't know about these things.But now he suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to know, he wanted to see where she grew up, what the rest of her family was like, and what kind of environment she went to school in.

The people around him hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Well, when I was 13 years old, I moved to live with my grandfather. There are other children in the family, and it is better for everyone to study together. Speaking of which, I only went to the calligraphy and painting appreciation class. A few times, when the professor told my grandfather, the old man was so angry that he slapped my palm, but he would ask the doctor to bandage me afterward. It’s like this for adults, right? I still care about you.”

She tilted her head slightly, quietly looking at the paintings in the glass window in front of her, as if lost in thought.

Zhang Qiling looked at the side face of the person in front of her. She had her hair tied up today, and her black hair hung on the other shoulder. From the current angle, she could clearly see the bright red traces. The simple white short sleeves and jeans looked The whole person is more peaceful and petite.It was the second time he found that the other party had just reached his chin, and the last time was when he took the other party into his arms.

At this moment, there are countless tourists coming and going around, and the noisy noise seems to recede in an instant, leaving only shallow breathing and heartbeat, as well as a faint scent of tea lingering in it.

"Your tattoo is beautiful." Zhang Qiling said after a while.

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little embarrassed: "Thank you. This is--this is a friend who helped me write it. He said that the fire symbolizes rebirth from Nirvana. I hope it is true."

She suddenly remembered something and turned her head to ask: "By the way, I remember you said before - you have a tattoo on your back, what is it about?"

"Kirin." Zhang Qiling replied quickly, and then thought for a while to add, "You can see it anytime you want."

Jiang Lin choked, and waved his hands as he walked to the exhibition hall on the other side: "No, no, I'm just curious."

She came to the exhibition hall on the other side. This is the ancient text area, which is not as recognizable as other documents. The texts in the display cabinets are almost all rare texts that have been lost for a long time and cannot be deciphered. Therefore, there are relatively few young people who come and go, and only stand a few times. Individuals are basically older audiences.Seeing that a rubbing was somewhat familiar, she leaned over to take a closer look.Some simple or complex engraved symbols were printed mottled on it, and after a little identification, it was found that they were very similar to the characters she had learned earlier when she was at Jiang's house.

"Tianchang is the same year, nine years old." Jiang Lin read a few words softly through the thick display cabinet, but the rest is gone. These are just two short sentences, which already sound obscure up.

"Little girl, do you recognize these characters?" A slightly old voice beside him asked in a low voice.

She looked up and saw an old man of medium build standing aside, with a pair of glasses in his breast pocket, looking at her and asking.Jiang Lin felt that he and Wu Xie had somewhat similar auras, they were both gentle, but their eyes were sometimes sharp. If it wasn't for this quiet exhibition hall, she would almost have wanted to use Occlumency.

The girl smiled shyly: "No, I tried to read it because I thought it looked like a certain word, but I couldn't understand it either. Can you tell me something about it?"

The old man was noncommittal, and after taking a deep look at her, his face turned pale: "I forgot to introduce, old man, my surname is Wu. I don't know what to call the little girl?"

"Hello, Mr. Wu, you can just call me Xiaojiang. Do you like rubbings of ancient books? I have a friend who likes it too."

The old man didn't talk, he just walked up to look at the rubbings in the showcase and said: "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer young people who like these old things. Girls as old as you are looking at some cutting-edge things. If you want to say I really like it, but it can’t be too deep.”

Jiang Lin nodded, and was about to say something when he heard a crisp female voice: "Xiao Lin!"

Ye Mei trotted over, she looked at the two of them, then smiled at each other: "Hi, I'm Xiao Jiang's friend. My name is Ye Mei."

Then she was pulled aside by her friend, and Ye Mei whispered: "What are you talking about? Don't say that you can understand these characters. I forgot to remind you that these ancient characters have basically been lost among Muggles. Now If you tell them you will admit it, there will be problems.”

Jiang Lin shook his head: "Don't worry, I didn't say that. By the way, where is Xihe?"

"Sister Xihe was called away by her colleagues. Hey, where are the other three people?" Ye Mei looked around for a while, and then saw the young man not far behind, who happened to be walking towards them at the moment.

"Mr. Zhang, you're here too." Ye Mei greeted politely.But someone just nodded slightly, and then looked at the old man standing aside.

The two girls didn't understand what enmity was between them, but the smell of gunpowder that was about to explode was real.Ye Mei exchanged a glance with her friend, both of them were a little confused.

"Second uncle!" Wu Xie walked quickly from the other end of the exhibition hall, and the embarrassing scene eased a little.

Ye Mei was startled, she secretly looked at the old gentleman in front of her, and finally understood where the strange sense of familiarity came from.Isn't this the legendary second uncle of the Wu family?Seeing is believing. The old man looks very hale and hearty. He must have looked good when he was young.She suppressed the urge to pick up the camera, thinking that she would take another sneak shot later.

She had to sigh again, she was so lucky to be at the center of the gossip, thanks to the line of gay friends.Ye Mei grabbed Jiang Lin's arm, looking a little excited.

Wu Xie was on the side introducing several people to each other.

The old man looked at Jiang Lin beside Zhang Qiling, and said, "These two little girls seem to know a lot. Xiao Xie, where did you find your friend?"

"Second Uncle, this is my brother's friend. But I have met Ms. Jiang and the others a few times, and Xiaojun also likes Ms. Jiang." Wu Xie explained with a bit of a head, for fear of offending the old man in front of him.

The old man froze for a moment, then said nothing.Ye Mei on the side pushed her friend and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, Jiang Lin can still recognize some ancient characters. Would you like to communicate with her?"

Jiang Lin looked deathly at home, obviously not understanding how his friend reversed the plot in the blink of an eye.

Ye Mei stuck out her tongue secretly, thinking that the grievances between the Zhang and Wu families could be repaired by Jiang Lin besides the evil emperor.Come on, buddy, I believe you can do it!

"Really? Just now, this girl told me that she didn't understand. Why, she suddenly changed her mind now?" The second uncle asked calmly.

"Mr. Wu, you also know that there are only a few ancient characters that can be interpreted and deciphered today, and they are only single characters. If the rare lost characters can be deciphered, such a person is not only extremely rare, but the news will also spread. Other unexpected risks. After all, some people study ancient books and other cultural relics, not just for academic issues. The previous concealment was only out of necessary safety considerations, and you must understand, right?" Ye Mei said neither humble nor overbearing Ying Dao, this made the other party startled, probably it's been a long time since I met such an outspoken young man.

"Current youngsters—forget it, I'll 'ask' Miss Jiang when I have time." Mr. Wu said indifferently, then turned around and walked slowly to the other end of the exhibition hall.

Ye Mei squeezed Jiang Lin's hand, and the latter let out a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, Ah Mei, did I find out that you are targeting me recently? Why do you always wear small shoes for me?"

The girl shrank her neck guiltily.When she spoke, she could feel Zhang Qiling's death gaze, and she probably wasn't very satisfied with her confessing Jiang Lin.Wu Xie was quite interested in this, and he asked curiously: "Little Jiang, do you also have research on these ancient characters?"

Jiang Lin and Ye Mei looked at each other, and the latter gave her a light encouragement. She had to think carefully and then answered seriously: "The school has taught some courses, and we all know a little about these words. But my family asked me to learn There are quite a few, so I can understand the words, but it may be a little difficult to accurately explain its meaning."

As soon as the words were finished, the two men were a little surprised, but Wu Xie was more obvious. He then asked: "Classes? I haven't heard of any university that will offer these courses. Xiao Jiang, what school do you go to?" ?”

The two girls were silent. Fortunately, Wu Xie quickly realized that he had asked his hand to check the background of the girls before, but there was no specific and useful information.The last time Fatty said that they went to Ye Mei and Jiang Lin's residence, he knew that they did not live in Hangzhou.Are they the second generation of X?

Besides, there should be no problem with the people my brother knows. Didn't he also admit that Jiang Lin's identity is temporarily inconvenient to reveal when he was in Yucun?So this is also the reason why he has always been at ease with them.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm taking the liberty. But can you understand it this way: You can translate these ancient texts as easily as you read English articles?"

Jiang Lin finally nodded at this time: "It doesn't matter. In theory, it is like this, but the meanings of the words and symbols handed down from different settlements are different, and the same reason is reflected in different cultures. I remember that there is a profession-- Archeology? Ah Mae mentioned to me that the inscription symbols on cultural relics in different excavation sites are different, so different cultural types are formed. I also have to make a basic judgment based on the specific source, er, Mr. Wu, This is just a small opinion of mine, you seem to be an expert in rubbing, which makes you laugh."

Wu Xie waved his hand: "No, I didn't expect you to know so much, and you can do a lot at such a young age. If you have time, I must invite you to visit the store. By the way, let my second uncle open his eyes and let him know that young people today are also If you have ideals and achievements, don't always criticize this and blame that all the time." He said and looked at Zhang Qiling specially, but the other party just raised his eyes, but there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Tsk, the little girl who is proud of herself can do it, right?Wu Xie raised his eyebrows in thought.

The few people chatted for a while, and the fat man finally wandered over. Seeing a few people chatting very high together, he pulled Wu Xie over and whispered in his ear: "What's the matter, didn't you let the younger brother and sister drag Xiao Yezi?" Well, why did you come here together? Tell me, did you rebel?"

Wu Xie slapped his fat hands off, looked in the direction of the three of them and said, "Didn't I ask someone to check those two girls before, and I found nothing special, and their files are very ordinary, but just now Xiao Jiang revealed that she And Ye Mei can understand some ancient characters. This is very unusual, and she also mentioned the school - which school specializes in teaching these lost things? It's unusual, these two girls."

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the little brother really doesn't move, and he is a big deal. Could Xiao Jiang be a descendant of some nobleman? Then I don't have to worry about my little brother being cheated of money and sex."

The fat man just said something unintentionally, but the listener began to think about it carefully.When I looked over again, Ye Mei had already paced to another exhibition hall, and the two of them were standing together, not knowing what to say.According to the previous exchanges and contacts, he found that Jiang Lin had a different temperament from Ye Mei.Not that sense of alienation, but a kind of composure accumulated over time and the family atmosphere of people who have received systematic education.

He had felt it in Brother Zhang and Black Glasses, but the latter was more obvious.The ancestor of the black glasses was a Qing nobleman, so would Jiang Lin be in the same situation, so the information found now is ambiguous?

Although it can't be said for sure, but looking in this direction, it should be able to give some clues.However, looking at the appearance of the two of them now, he felt that there was no need.There are not many people in this world who can fool the little brother, and the fat man is also sensible, and he is very relieved of this think tank.It's just that he began to be curious about the real identities of the two girls.

Jiang Lin wanted to leave to find Ye Mei, but she hesitated because of the person in front of her and said, "Mr. Zhang, which exhibition hall do you want to see now?"

"Zhang Yingnuo." He looked at the girl and corrected.

"Ah?" Jiang Lin was a little confused, what do you mean?He changed his name again?

Zhang Qiling repeated it seriously: "My real name is Zhang Yingnuo, if you are not used to it, you can call me Akun."

Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment, remembering that his friends called him little brother before, so he nodded slightly: "Understood, but I heard your friends call you little brother, how about I do the same?"

He nodded and said before the girl had time to speak: "Mumu."

Jiang Lin looked at him in surprise, and clenched his hands unconsciously: "Sorry, brother, you should call me by my full name, I think this is more appropriate."

The light in Zhang Qiling's eyes dimmed.

"Why don't you go to the ancient books exhibition hall first, it should be this way." Jiang Lin studied the tour guide on his own, and then pointed to the passage on the left.

Only God knows that the girl's palms are full of sweat at this time, if she is not in the bright exhibition hall, she will definitely run away.

The two of them remained silent for the rest of the time. After watching the exhibition, Wu Xie suggested that a few people go to dinner together, but the two girls refused decisively.

Seeing her friend follow her home in silence, Ye Mei felt a little uneasy. She poured a glass of lemonade and handed it to him, then asked, "What's the matter, did you quarrel with my little brother? No, if my little brother is going to get angry Just start twisting your neck." The last sentence was her own words, so Jiang Lin didn't hear it clearly.

"No. He suddenly called me Mumu, I'm not used to it." Jiang Lin pinched the cup, looking nervous.

Ye Mei looked at the girl up and down, then leaned closer and said mysteriously: "If I'm not wrong, this is the rhythm of chasing you. Look, that little brother usually looks like a black-faced god, and it's almost like teaching the history of magic." As scary as my professor, once I saw you, I immediately turned into a spring breeze. Tsk, it’s definitely like this.”

"Uh——but he rejected me before, and said that it was not suitable for me." Jiang Lin lowered his eyes, "Besides, I have no plans for this at the moment, anyway, grandfather will arrange it when the time comes."

Ye Mei grabbed her hand and almost spilled a glass of lemonade on the ground: "Wait, you said you refused - you confessed to him before? Shocking news, come, come, tell my sister , don’t miss a single word!”

Jiang Lin sighed and picked up the matter.

After half an hour.

Ye Mei stared at her longingly, and said in an extremely dreamy tone: "Immortal head, my brother really hugged you?! Tsk tsk, I didn't witness such a historic moment—I really want to wear it back and take a picture , and hang it on the door, it is definitely a sharp weapon for exorcising evil and avoiding disaster!"

"Xiao Linzi, tell me honestly, do you still like him now?" She smacked her lips critically, and then asked.

The girl opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.She thought of her previous plan: "What's the difference between liking and disliking. What's more, they just called her by name, maybe it's polite."

"Don't be discouraged, I support you." Ye Mei shook Jiang Lin's hand and encouraged him, but the other party just shook his head.

"You know the situation of my parents, and now our status is no higher than that of other wizards. Auror is a very dangerous profession. I don't want anyone to be hurt because of this. Also, I—" Jiang Lin wanted to say before I was attacked in the stone room, but I didn't go into details because I was afraid that the other party would worry.How would she face the fact that she had killed someone?Even if she was a dark wizard, she didn't want to be an executioner, it was not her wish.

Now Ye Mei was dumb.

"What?! The little girl asked you to call her name?" The fat man sighed loudly, and took a piece of matcha cake from the box by the way, chewing while nodding with satisfaction, "Hmm~ This little girl's craftsmanship is good. I thought it would be sweet. Hey, don’t grab it, save a piece of the red one for me!”

Wu Xie wrapped up the remaining box: "What a grab, grab it, it was originally prepared for Xiaojun."

Zhang Qiling picked out a piece of red pastry and took a sip.The mellow but not greasy fragrance pours into the mouth, the delicate cake melts quickly, and the light sweetness pervades the surroundings.He didn't expect Hongdou to have such a gentle feeling.

"But brother, I'm not talking about you. The little girl looks very pure. You can't just tell people to see your tattoo or something. Why? You want to take off your clothes on the spot for people to see? Isn't this a hooligan? !" The fat man stuffed another piece of red bean cake, but he ate it too fast, choking him, and he drank several mouthfuls of tea.

Wu Xie wiped her mouth and echoed in a rare way: "Brother, I think you should start talking earlier, seize the opportunity to confess your love or something, and then talk about changing your mouth. Only by taking steps step by step can you be sure of winning, otherwise you will What should I do if the girl is scared away?"

Zhang Qiling was taken aback when he heard the words, and then saw two people looking at him thoughtfully.After a while, the fat man said, "Brother, do you know what a confession is?"

The good boy nodded.

"Very good, do you know what to say?"

blank face.

Fatty and Wu Xie looked at each other, and the former laughed and said, "Naive, please show me your own experience first."
