[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

Chapter 59 Old Acquaintance

A week later, when the two girls were about to forget about it, Jiang Lin received a message from Wu Xie, inviting them to come to his antique shop for a gathering.Ye Mei originally wanted to shoot her sister's last location, but now she is more excited, and directly adjusts the duty time of Jiang Lin and Wang Xiao, and drags the two girls to the West Lake to shoot for a day.Stayed in Lin'an Street for one night, and came to Wushanju the next day.

The two sisters of the Ye family stood by the antique gate and took photos, while Jiang Lin was bored at the side to drive away mosquitoes with an umbrella.Originally, she was wearing a peaked cap, but Ye Mei forcibly snatched it away. Now she can only support a small parasol.She took a little look at Wushanju in front of her. The outside is surrounded by white brick walls, and the gate is a round stone arch. You can vaguely see lush flowers and trees. There seems to be something flashing between the trees, like a dog or something. .

She checked the time on her phone, it was exactly nine o'clock, so she should be able to go in now.Just as Jiang Lin put away the umbrella, he was suddenly dragged by a strong plain hand.Ye Mei hooked her friend's shoulders, Ye Ting took a selfie stick to find a good angle, and the three of them took several photos together, almost face to face.

"Hi, Xiaoye Xiaojiang." Wu Xie's peaceful voice came from behind.

Several people turned around together. After greeting Ye Mei, she took her younger sister and introduced, "Mr. Wu, this is little sister Ye Ting. Ah Ting, this is Mr. Wu."

"Hello, Uncle Wu!" The girl tilted her head slightly and smiled brightly.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently: "Hello, Ye Ting. I didn't even know that I had become an uncle hahaha~"

"(*^__^*) Hee hee, I'm sorry, I was teasing you just now. Mr. Wu looks like a handsome guy!" Ye Ting spared no effort in flattering.In front of him, this is the number one male protagonist who steals pens. Although he already has a master, he is still earning money.

The usually calm man couldn't help being a little embarrassed, saying that except for Fatty and Xiaohua, no one dared to talk to him like this for a long time.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wu Xie brought the guests to the shop. The two sisters of the Ye family wanted to see if Wang Mengmeng was there. As expected, there was a thin and small boy at the front desk, who seemed quite clever.Thinking about it, Wang Meng is almost married now, so of course he won't stay here.The young man served tea to the guests with a wink, and at the same time presented two thin booklets when they were resting as ordered by the boss.Jiang Lin felt that this little guy named Zhou Shao looked a bit like A Yuan, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

With Wu Xie's consent, the two sisters took their cameras around the shop and took pictures, but they took more selfies.Jiang Lin sat obediently and flipped through the rubbings in his hand.

"How about Xiao Jiang, can you understand the text on this rubbing?" After sitting quietly for a long time, Wu Xie asked lightly.

Jiang Linzheng was looking at it seriously, and now he raised his head and thought for a while and said, "May I ask, is this inscription extracted from the stone chamber of the ancient tomb?"

Wu Xie paused, then nodded naturally: "A coincidence."

"Then it's easier to explain. Speaking carefully, this is not an ancient script in the general sense. It belongs to a foreign language just like Xixia script, but it has a longer history than Xixia script. Moreover, it is not a script commonly used in the clan, but belongs to Wu script—— To put it simply, it is a special symbol for wizards in a tribe or ethnic group, which records some encrypted information. The observed celestial phenomena, the next successor, fortune-telling, etc." Jiang Lin continued to say after turning to the first page, "This book is in front of you. This is the case—it tells how a wizard named Xian helped the king repel the enemy, but was killed by a arrow and died on the battlefield. It can be regarded as a eulogy that is often said now.”

The man listened carefully, and then discussed some details with Jiang Lin.The girl patiently answered one by one. She was not afraid of what would happen if she translated these things, because after all, the protagonist of the story had passed away for a long time.But after communicating with Wu Xie, she suddenly thought of an idea.

"Mr. Wu, how about this, if you are interested, Ye Mei and I can teach you." Jiang Lin said, and then added, "Of course, if Mr. Wu is also interested, you can come and listen. But We have to agree up front that we need a small commitment - not to reveal that this is taught by us."

Wu Xie was also very excited when he first heard this suggestion. He had some hazy thoughts before, just worried that the other party would not agree, but now that the girl took the initiative to speak, he was naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity.

"That's really great. I can discuss it with my second uncle first to see if he has this idea. How do you decide the time and place?"

"In this way, Ye Mei and I take turns to come here every ten days, is it okay for two hours? You only need to prepare a computer and a projector." Jiang Lin thought for a while and suggested.

Wu Xie agreed, but she was a little worried: "Xiao Jiang, will this waste your time? I remember that you and Ye Mei are usually very busy with work?"

The girl frowned slightly, then shook her head nonchalantly: "No, the traffic is more convenient now, and it's just busy at times, so I can spare time now. But maybe I won't be free in mid-September, when there are many tasks in the team, I might not be able to take care of it here.”

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, the slightly bitter taste spread on the tip of her tongue, and then the sweetness returned.

Wu Xie suppressed the curiosity in his heart, chatted with the other party for a while, confirmed the specific teaching time, and thought about how to persuade the other party to charge.At this time, there was a noise from outside, Ye Mei hurried in while protecting her younger sister, and the camera cover in her hand was tilted to one side.

"Oh my god, hide away—I just met a psychopath—it scared me to death." Ye Mei patted her chest in a state of shock.

"What's the matter, what kind of crazy?" Jiang Lin put down the cup and rubbings, and asked curiously.

Ye Mei picked up a cup of cold tea and took a few sips, then pointed to her younger sister who also had a bad face and said: "We met a little snake, and then we forgot that there was anyone around us - but the man in sunglasses found it , Hey, fortunately there were so many people, we—— took a few breaths before running back.”

Jiang Lin stepped forward and pulled Ye Ting to look at it. The little girl was just a little out of breath because she was running too fast, but she was not frightened at all.Of course she understood what her friend said—it was estimated that Ye Ting was overheard by the Muggles when he was hissing in Parseltongue, but at most it was regarded as crazy, why would he say that he was insane.

Wu Xie was a little confused, but he still asked.The two girls took a breath and saw that it was getting late, so they planned to bid him farewell with Jiang Lin.

Just as they walked to the door, a majestic big dog was squatting by the bushes outside, squinting at them.After seeing the person come out, the big dog stood up suddenly.

The girls were startled by the creature in front of them. Jiang Lin walked in the front, naturally blocking the sight of the two people behind, and unconsciously put his hand on the magic wand behind him, confronting it.

"Brother Xiaoman! Don't move around, this is my friend!" Wu Xie called out and walked quickly to the girls.

After a while, the big black-backed dog slowly bent its hind legs and squatted on the ground. The expression on his face was something Wu Xie had never seen before. There was a hint of bewilderment and seriousness, but he was defenseless.

Ye Ting was the first to react. She walked carefully to the opposite side of the big dog and knelt down on one knee, then calmly said, "Hello, Brother Xiaoman." She spoke Mandarin, but Wu Xie Surprised to see it blinked a little, obviously not as alert as before.

Ye Mei watched her sister stretch out her hand in front of her, hesitated for a moment, the big dog put a front paw on her hand, and the girl suddenly became very happy: "Sister, come and touch it, it's really nice cute!"

The two girls squeezed each paw back and forth, making the big dog lose its majesty at all, and let them do it obediently.

Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but imitate the two sisters of the Ye family, squatting down and shaking each other's fur paws.

Looking at the harmonious scene in front of him, Wu Xie was already speechless.It seems that keeping a dog is also with the owner, and it is specially designed to get close to the girl.He thought of Jiang Lin's teaching suggestions, and suddenly hesitated.

After playing with the big dog for a while, the three got up, and brother Xiaoman followed Wu Xie and walked out.

"Boss Wu, so you have guests." A familiar voice of ridicule came from the door, and Wu Xie felt a chill down his spine.

"You! Aren't you insane?!" Ye Mei pointed at the other party and shouted, pulling her sister to hide.

Jiang Lin felt that the voice was a little familiar, and it was only when her friends came behind her that she realized what they were talking about as 'crazy'.

Standing in front of her in a pair of sunglasses and in black clothes, Hei Xiazi was tall and aggressive.When he looked at the girl, the smirk on his face paused, then he said with a smile:

"Coincidentally, Miss Jiang, we meet again."

In an instant, a series of images flashed through her mind, and finally settled on a face whose expression could not be seen clearly.It turned out to be him.No wonder Ah Mae wanted to call him crazy.

Wu Xie was also taken aback, and he tentatively asked, "Do you know each other?"

Ye Mei and Ye Ting stared back and forth suspiciously at the two of them.

"It turns out that Dumb Zhang has been in love for a long time, and you are together again?" The black blind man said incongruously, glanced at his apprentice and continued, "Long time no see, you and these girls are quite familiar. Yes."

"Let's send it here today, don't bother Mr. Wu." Jiang Lin said suddenly and calmly, obviously not wanting to have any further thoughts with the other party.She knew that the other party must know something, for example, she had met him more than 20 years ago.This is something she doesn't want others to know.

It's just that Wu Xie and Hei Xiazi also knew each other.

As the master, Wu Xie certainly didn't want the situation to develop in such a weird way, so he immediately agreed to send a few girls out, and when he came back, Brother Xiaoman looked back at the gate.The blind man was already drinking tea in the shop.

"Dumb Zhang Zhen is having sex with that girl?" Hei Xiazi put down his teacup and laughed extremely gossip.

Wu Xie knew that he was always insane, so he didn't care what he said: "Not yet, but my brother and her get along quite well. I haven't seen him showing affection for any girl before. Why, want to pry the corner of the wall?"

"Oh, it sounds like I'm so hungry, who dares to make trouble with that black-faced god. But, are you sure that Jiang Lin is fine, have you checked out her details?"

"I checked, but I don't know the details. Now I only know that I live in Yuyao. What you said to that girl just now-you knew her before?"

The blind man sat up a little bit, with an inexplicable smile on his lips: "I saw it—24 years ago. She disappeared after that."

There was no surprise on Wu Xie's expression, she just nodded slightly: "My little brother also said so, it seems that this Jiang Lin is indeed not simple. But I don't believe that she has lived for such a long time - Jiang Lin looks like she has only one body and one mind. In his twenties, he doesn't have the air of age that you old monsters have."

"Well, it's strange that the dumb Zhang would confess to you guys. Speaking of which, I'm a bit suspicious—do you believe in witchcraft?"

"What? It's that kind of wizard?" Wu Xie felt a little funny, "Where did you read these nonsense, and you believe it? Why don't you say it's Harry Potter."

The black blind man pursed his lips and chuckled: "Maybe it's - I've seen her appear out of thin air before - they all say that literature comes from life, and there are even heaven-defying existences like the Zhang family and the Wang family, so why aren't wizards? Really?"

"What?! There is such a thing?" Wu Xie was a little unbelievable. He had an urge to go directly to the other party to confirm it, but he held back.

"Anyway, I think it's more fun like this now." Hei Xiazi looked like he was watching a show, and the figures of the two girls flashed in his mind.

The three of Jiang Lin returned to the residence, cleaned up briefly and then apparated to the home.While Ye Ting was going to the kitchen to make food, she mentioned the lecture to Ye Mei. The girl agreed, and said that she could give some little knowledge about the little-known Muggle world.At this time, Lentil jumped to the window and chirped, and Jiang Lin hurried over to let the little owl in.The little one jumped on her arms and flapped its wings happily.She untied the envelope from her paw and read it carefully.

"What's the matter? I've seen you sending lentils to deliver letters these days, and I've been quarreled by it several times at night." Ye Mei said vaguely with her sister's cut fruit stuffed in her mouth.

Jiang Lin didn't answer right away, she folded the letter before saying: "It's nothing, the old man wants me to go back to the ancestral house recently."

Ye Mei, who was happily nibbling a pineapple, looked up at her, swallowed what was in her mouth and said cautiously: "Mumu, are you planning to go?"

She knew something about the other party's family. Jiang Lin's grandfather, Jiang Xianya, generally didn't care about his granddaughter except for necessary family affairs.Although Jiang Lin's grandparents had an accident in the early years, the little girl was retrieved by the Jiang family and officially recognized her ancestors, but the grandparents and grandsons were not quite right.She seldom heard Jiang Lin mention her family affairs, and she just casually said what she knew now.However, the entire Jiang family is still a prestigious magic family in the magic world. It is even said that it can be traced back to the Shennong era, so she also knows that the other party has been forced to undergo a lot of training since entering the family.After getting acquainted for a long time, she realized that Jiang Lin wanted to become an Auror since she was a child, so she also put in a lot of effort, and maybe she would only smile a little when facing them at school.Originally, girls at this age should be as heartless as their peers, enjoying life wantonly.But Jiang Lin couldn't do it.

Some time ago, when the girl just woke up, she noticed that the other party had changed a lot, not as lively as before, even with lentils, she would frown from time to time, or read the confidence in her hands.That's how she kept in touch with Zhang Qiling and the others knowing that there would be danger. She wanted Jiang Lin to do what she really liked.Being with the one you like makes you happier, right?But the situation is still not getting better, so why?

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, looked at her and smiled softly: "Well, I haven't been back for a while, and I also want to visit my parents."

The lively wedding flashed clearly in her mind, making her feel sore and aching.Jiang Lin thanked herself for recovering her previous memories. Even though it was at the cost of revisiting the soul breaking ceremony, she was still very happy.For her, this is already a great gift.

"That's also very good," Ye Mei encouraged, "Actually Mr. Jiang—I'm just expressing my opinion—is more concerned about you, at least you have the support of the Jiang family. I was afraid that you would think too much before. I dare not say, the history of the Jiang family is very long, the descendants of Shennong, from the point of view that you can travel back in time, the jade on that necklace has a lot of history, so it must be put away Here, don't lose it again."

"I think so too. Mumu, we are all optimistic about you, I wish you win Mr. Zhang as soon as possible!" Ye Tingga on the side took a bite of an apple and echoed.This made Jiang Lin couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

The fat man lay down on the bamboo recliner, and the chair shook worryingly. He picked up an apple and wiped it, then bit down and began to chew.Wu Xie coaxed his son with good words on the phone, hung up the phone, put it on the small coffee table next to him, and then sat down.He glanced at Zhang Qiling who was reading an old book in one corner, pretending to chat with the fat man casually.

"Xiao Jiang and the others came to the West Lake to play, so they stopped by the store. I also asked Xiao Jiang to look at the rubbings. Not to mention, the little girl is very eloquent, and she plans to teach us Shamanic characters in the end. It's a good job child."

The fat man straightened up, and asked cooperatively: "When did you come? Well, you old boy, it's fine to keep it from your younger siblings, but now even us old men don't tell. The conscience is so bad!"

The person next to him finally reacted, and a pair of bright black eyes looked at Wu Xie silently.The latter swallowed, thinking that he was not as nervous as he was when he practiced his confession to Poker Fing's face last time.

"I came here yesterday morning. Alas, it's just a few little girls casually visiting. It's not a big deal, right. But Ye Mei also has a younger sister. I haven't heard her mention it before."

"What? Well, let me see, why did you take this opportunity to see the big sister Shui Lingling? No, I have to sue my younger siblings someday and let her discipline you for being dishonest. It will save you every day." Wandering around the little girl." The fat man smacked his lips and finished off the remaining fruit in twos and twos.

Wu Xie didn't care about Fatty's threat at all, but Zhang Qiling suddenly said, "When will they come?"

"Ten days later, the two girls will take turns, and each class will last for two hours. This time, Xiao Jiang will come first. I'm still thinking about how to get them to accept the reward. Hey, you guys can help me think of a way. If you just send it up like this, they will definitely not It's so easy to accept." Wu Xie was a little distressed, he had always seen girls dressed in ordinary clothes, but the materials were very elegant, and he checked Ye Mei's cameras and other equipment on the Internet, and they were all the latest models of the season, belonging to the Professional-grade equipment, and girls don't pay special attention to maintenance when using it, which shows that the other party still has a certain financial foundation.

As for Jiang Lin, he had already felt that the other party's temperament was not like that of an ordinary young girl. Compared with Ye Mei's enthusiasm and generosity, he was more restrained and reserved. There was a faint demeanor of a lady in her demeanor, and the family background behind her was simple. If you don't go anywhere, maybe it's a family hidden in the city.This is somewhat similar to Zhang Qiling.

Fatty was shaking the back of the chair, he touched his chin, suddenly raised his head up and down to look Zhang Qiling up and down, and stayed there for a strangely long time.Wu Xie next to him noticed and looked at the young man twice: "What's the matter, Fatty, I asked you to come up with an idea, and you still think you're raping my little brother?"

Zhang Qiling raised his brows slightly, and the light look in his eyes made the two of them lower their heads.The fat man leaned over and whispered something to Wu Xie. The latter's expression was surprised and disgusted at first, and then the two couldn't help laughing, as if they had taken advantage of something.

The person who was left out frowned, obviously hearing something, but it was not clear.

Fortunately, after laughing for a while, they straightened up to eat and talk.Wu Xie handed the peeled apple up, and suggested naturally: "How about this, little brother, you can ask Xiao Jiang and the others what they want, it doesn't matter money or things. Or you can come and get some Send things over, okay?"

"Okay." Zhang Qiling took a bite of the apple, feeling the sweet and sour taste and the cool night breeze.Not knowing what she was doing now, he suddenly looked forward to seeing that girl.Ten days was no different from ten minutes and ten hours to him before, but now he suddenly felt a bit long.

The author has something to say:

Let's make a quick decision during the Mid-Autumn Festival.I can't believe I was dragged to more than 20 words, and I couldn't stop when I wrote the rivalry between the younger brother and the younger sister.It is undeniable that some places are just for word count hahaha.
