[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

The seven or eight-year-old boy yawned big, put down the pencil in his hand, and closed the copybook.The man on the side looked up at him, swiped open the phone screen and said, "Finished?"

"Yeah. Dad, why don't we go to Xiaohai's house today? We didn't beat me in Luzhanqi last time, so I'm probably still angry with me. I haven't seen Uncle Boring for a long time. What is he doing recently? Do you want to?" How about going to see it?"

"Yes, but he may be a bit busy, can you ask him first and then decide?"

The boy nodded, took the man's cell phone, waited until the screen showed that it was connected, and said: "Uncle Boring, are you free now, we want to come and see you."

"Okay. Tell your father not to buy crabs. Last time the fat man ate too much and went to the hospital." The other party's familiar tone came, but what he said was very common and even made people laugh.

Wu Xie drank half a sip of tea, and was caught off guard when he heard this.He wiped the corner of his mouth, listened to the boy agreeing to hang up the phone, and then said: "Okay, what did you say to bring over this time?"

"Fish head! Braised eggplant! The fish head made by Uncle Mong is delicious - the fat uncle keeps snatching it from me, hmph, but Uncle Mong stopped him with one chopstick." Xiaojun counted with his fingers, In the words, it seemed that he wanted to buy the ingredients he wanted to eat together, and at the same time, he didn't forget to blackmail Dad's good brother.

Silently pinching the sweaty Wu Xie for the fat man in his heart, he swallowed the fragrant tea, planning to buy vegetables when he came back after picking up his wife.

Zhang Qiling put down his phone, sorted out the materials at hand, greeted the team leader and left the studio.A broken book received today was in a bad condition, which gave him a headache as an experienced veteran.Looks like it's time for a new potion.He thought about it, turned around and went to the pharmacy to buy some herbs, and then went home.

Before he could take out the key after opening the door, a small thing jumped straight into his arms, and when he stabilized his figure, the little boy's loud and joyful voice sounded: "Uncle Men, you are back, fat man, hurry up!" I finished eating the watermelon."

The surrounding air froze for a moment.Then a thick voice came from the living room behind him like a mountain: "Little devil! You're talking nonsense again! You came here to see where I finished eating the watermelon!"

When he closed the door with his backhand, Wu Xie on the side took the bag, pointed to the kitchen and said, "Xi and the dishes are almost done, and now the fish heads and eggplants are missing - there is no way, the little guy likes your cooking .”

He nodded, washed his hands, tied the apron handed over by the other party, greeted the busy people inside, and then adjusted the condiments by himself.Zhou Xihe stuffed the plate in Wu Xie's hand, and handed a stack of bowls and chopsticks to the little boy who followed in. The family went out one after another, and cleaned up the dining table again. vegetable.

Wu Xie kicked the fat man sitting on the sofa, signaling him to stop chewing.The fat man pursed his mouth, threw away the melon rind and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.Chatted with the little sister-in-law who sat down and drank water.

"Xiaohe, is there a new book fair in your library recently? Oh, now that I'm getting older, I want to go out and walk around more. My little brother can pinpoint the time all day long, so I can't say a few words."

Wu Xie hummed lightly from the side, then turned around and poured Xiaojun a glass of warm water.

"Not recently, because it takes a week to train newcomers, so now our activities are postponed."

"Training for newcomers? How many people are there? Are there many girls?" Fatty got excited and asked with his ears raised.

Zhou Xihe smiled and replied, "It's the senior volunteer team, responsible for supervising the reading room and guiding readers."

"Oh, that's it." The fat man scratched his head, his words seemed rather regretful, "I haven't seen Xiao Yezi and the others for a long time, I don't know how those little girls are doing now."

For a while, several adults were stunned, and no one answered.

There was the sound of stir frying in the kitchen, and a strong aroma of sauce wafted out.Wu Xie patted his son's head, got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

When Wu Xie was gone, Zhou Xihe leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, where did Xiao Jiang go? She and Ms. Ye agreed to come to the exhibition before, but it's been almost two years now. There is no news at all. I only heard that Ms. Ye said that she was on a business trip—what kind of work requires such a long business trip, and you can’t come back after the Chinese New Year?”

The last sentence is almost self-speaking.Fatty, who has always been an active little expert, was also dumb this time. He opened his mouth, and finally looked in the direction of the kitchen and sighed.

"I also want to know - this time it's really not gossip or anything, it's mainly my brother, I feel a little distressed when I look at it. But anyway, I started working, and I didn't behave so unkindly. The first two times I went out with my colleagues Eat supper. But my brother never talks about that girl, so it's not easy to keep asking."

A stampede happened suddenly during the Mid-Autumn Festival two years ago. Fortunately, nothing happened to them, but when they contacted again the next day, they couldn't get through to the girl's phone.When they arrived at the residence of the two, the tenant had already changed there.After finally getting in touch with Ye Mei, what I got was the news that the girl had been sent abroad.He still remembered the slightly surprised tone of the other party on the phone, as if she didn't expect her companion to make such a decision suddenly.The little brother's reaction was so calm that it was inexplicably scary.He still went to the recruiting unit for interviews, did not miss out on daily exercise, and went to work very actively after passing the interview.

But he always felt that something was missing from the other person.He couldn't say exactly what it was, but the contrast did exist.

Zhou Xihe was a little disappointed after hearing this, and just about to say something, Wu Xie came out with a plate of dishes: "Here comes the braised eggplant! Boy, go to the balcony and pick some onions for Uncle Men!"

Xiaojun put down the Transformers in his hand, and jumped happily to the balcony.

"Don't say anything else in advance, let's get ready to eat." He said to the two.

Finally waited for the last fish head with chopped peppers, and several people ate to their hearts' content.Zhang Qiling wiped his mouth silently after eating, and consciously took away the bowls and chopsticks.Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, and the former turned to discuss with his wife: "Xihe, why don't I send you back with Xiaojun first, and then go out with my brother?"

Zhou Xihe nodded and whispered a few words of advice.

When he came back, Wu Xie saw the man leaning on the sofa with a book in his hands to read quietly, while the fat man beside him was lying and eating melon seeds while watching TV, but the volume was turned on very low.

"No, why are you still not gaining weight after you go out, and your legs feel thinner again. Tell me, did you secretly lose weight?!" Ye Mei pinched her friend's thin waist and questioned viciously.

Jiang Lin was holding an ice cream in his hand, and he was caught unprepared, and he dodged to the side but still didn't dodge.She stretched out her hand to block it, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, miss, don't tease me. I haven't lost weight. You don't know that the training in the group is too much and abnormal. You are hungry and cold every day. How can you care about it?" Going to lose weight, I want to eat more even in my dreams.”

Ye Mei pinched her arm unwillingly, and in the end she could only scold her with some distress: "Who told you not to invite me to join you back then, so that everyone can take care of me. Now that you know how powerful you are, how dare you say no next time?" dare?"

She is still brooding over her friend's departure two years ago.

"Don't dare. By the way, don't you want to treat me to some special dishes? Where are you going?"

Hearing this, Ye Mei showed a mysterious smile: "Let's go, my sister will take you to eat."

She dragged the girl into an alley, and apparated after confirming that there were no other abnormalities.After Jiang Lin stabilized himself, he found himself in a slightly shabby small room. Ye Mei dragged him out of the hut. In front of him was a bustling street with various vendors selling their products. There were snacks and all kinds of favorites for girls and children. kind of gizmo.At this time, just as night fell, it was a good time to eat supper and visit the night market.The girl stood at the intersection of the bustling street, and suddenly a light and thin figure flashed in her mind, and her heart was tingling slightly, but it was warm.

Jiang Lin held the phone tightly, and after the great surprise, her heart seemed to flow across a sea, full of happiness, but when she thought about the decisions and efforts she had made, she felt that she was submerged in sea water, unable to breathe in pain .

a week early.If only a week earlier.Maybe she will hesitate, and the road after that will be completely different, right?

But will it really be different?Can she be with him without any scruples?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin touched the skin at the base of his neck, feeling that the flame was burning again, and then spread to his whole body like running water.

Still not possible.

She couldn't forget the touch of blood gushing onto her hands, and she couldn't escape the fear of the soul-breaking ceremony.This is her doom and her debt.

All of this cannot and has no reason for him to bear it with himself.

The girl leaned against the wall with her mobile phone in her hands, as if she wanted to use the cold wall to give herself a little courage. Finally, she finally opened the screen and simply typed a few words.

"sorry."

How is he?Jiang Lin looked at the endless night sky and muttered silently, until the friend beside him called him several times before regaining consciousness.

"Here, Ah Ting is at the bar in front, hurry up, or the little girl should wait!" Ye Mei pulled her straight and walked over, when the door was opened, loud music and countless swaying figures rushed towards her, The two pushed through the crowd and came to the back corner. Ye Ting was chatting passionately with two stylishly dressed men. Seeing them coming, he jumped off the chair and hugged the girls.

"Okay, okay, if this goes on, people will think that we have some indescribable relationship." Ye Mei pushed her over-excited sister, and grabbed her friend who hadn't recovered yet, "Help me first Hold on to Wang Xiao, I'll find a friend."

Then she turned around and said to several people, "I'm going to order some wine, what do you want to drink?"

After Ye Mei left, Li Su beside Wang Xiao greeted Jiang Lin enthusiastically: "Long time no see, how is your job there? I heard that you can still deal with vampires. Are they really afraid of the sun?"

Jiang Lin was a bit overwhelmed by the other party's series of questions, so she could only sit down and explain slowly. Moreover, the atmosphere in the bar was too lively and noisy, which made her uncomfortable, and she began to feel a little dizzy.

Ye Mei came back with a tray, and after everyone else got their drinks, she stuffed the girl with a glass of brick-red drink. There was a small decorative umbrella and a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass, and a bit of emerald green at the bottom. Very beautiful.

"Try it, Penny's latest fruity drink, it's delicious." Ye Mei took a sip of whiskey, narrowed her eyes comfortably, and then started chatting with Ye Ting and the others.

Jiang Lin looked at the cup in front of her, not very relieved of what her friend said, but the ice cream just now was a bit greasy, she couldn't help but sip a little, it was sweet and sour, and the taste was relatively light, a bit like grape-flavored soda.Only then did she take a sip with peace of mind, and the fresh breath poured into her mouth, and her mind became much clearer in an instant.

Not too bad.

She continued to drink in small sips, while eating the sushi on the table, chatting with her friends occasionally, the time passed slowly.

When the last few pieces of ice remained in the glass, Jiang Lin felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he got up and went to the bathroom.

This commercial street is still the same as before, and it will become lively as soon as the night falls. He is used to going around and buying some gadgets, but most of them will be delivered to the little guy.The two old men beside them saw a small shop selling Xingyue bracelets and chatted with the beautiful female boss.He stood and watched for a while, and vaguely heard something in the alley a few meters away, as if someone was arguing.It wasn't his business at first, but after a few seconds, a familiar voice came through the night wind, making his heart skip a beat.

Zhang Qiling dodged the few people in front of him, leaned on a lantern to turn over the shop, and finally saw the familiar figure by the street lamp at the entrance of the alley.

"I don't know you, let me go!" The girl struggled to break free from the man in black in front of her, and was grabbed by the man with her hands reaching her waist.The crew-haired man wearing a skull vest dragged her to his side, leaned forward and sniffed the girl's neck, then whistled frivolously, just thinking that he had earned money today, when the right hand around the girl's back felt a sharp pain , the pain caused him to let go immediately.

The girl was pulled into another person's arms, and the strange man in front of him looked at him coldly, as if he wanted to peel himself off.Surprised by the ghost-like eyes of the other party, he felt unprecedented panic, but he still asked rather unconvinced: "Where did you come from, dare to talk to grandpa and me—"

Before he finished speaking, he was held up by the neck, his toes touched the ground but he couldn't exert any strength, and when he fell down, a cold voice came from his ear: "Get out!"

Zhang Qiling didn't look at the man who was rolling and crawling away, the man in his arms broke away from him, still mumbled something, but couldn't stand upright all of a sudden, so he could only grab his collar.

It looked like she was drunk, but she didn't smell of alcohol, only a light fruity scent and a light floral scent.The night wind continued to blow, the girl's hair was slightly loosened, and some of the hair tied behind her head stuck to his arm, itching, and the same fragrance greeted her.

I don't know what shampoo she uses, but it smells good.

After two years, he did not expect such a scene to meet again.

The drunken girl leaned on him, shaking her head trying to wake up, but she could only see a little outline of the person in front of her through the light.

"Huh? You—you look like a person!" She continued to mumble, with a surprised tone, "I think, um—it looks like a person."

Maybe it was because she was tired, she pressed her head against his chest and brewed for a while, through the thin fabric, she could feel the other person's cheeks getting hot, which made him a little nervous, his heart was numb, and he was jumping faster and faster trend.

"Ah! I remembered! It's him!" The girl looked up in surprise, her eyes full of excitement as she looked at him.

"Who is he?" Zhang Qiling finally asked, with complicated emotions.

"He's not who—" she corrected calmly, clutching his sleeves with both hands.

"He is the person I like, the person I like very much—the person I like so much that my heart hurts."

Zhang Qiling's mind suddenly went blank, but this was different from amnesia.Scenes of the past flashed through his mind, and he had an absurd idea: it seemed good to just hold the person in his arms until the end of time.

"What's his name?" Zhang Qiling wanted to confirm again.

She tilted her head, and there was his reflection in her misty eyes: "Akun—actually, he has several other names, but I like this one the most—this is the name he told me for the first time. Mumu likes Akun Kun, Akun also wants to be with Mumu. But there is no such simple thing as being together in the world.”

Before he could grab her hand, the girl let go of his sleeve, took a step back and said, "Okay, I've told you so much, I'm leaving—my friend is still waiting for me. Goodbye!"

The girl waved at him, turned around and walked crookedly, before taking a few steps, her body went limp.

Zhang Qiling stepped forward to pick up the girl and carried her on his back.There was a noise from behind.

"Hey! Who are you?! That's my friend, let her go quickly! Otherwise, you'll be more attractive!"

Zhang Qiling turned around with the girl behind his back, and looked at Ye Mei and his party.

The author has something to say:

Such a part of letting go of oneself, even I can't stand it.

The next chapter continues with high-energy early warning.
