Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

Chapter 48 The Beginning of the Bad Premonition

Early the next morning, Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling went to find the old guide.

Ajiu slept in it by herself until the sun rose three poles before coming out. Looking at the empty room, she sighed heavily.

This was not the first time she acted separately from Zhang Qiling, but this time, the bad feeling in her heart did not disappear.Moreover, Zhang Qiling looked a little strange these two days.

It seems that something that has been suppressed in my heart for a long time wants to be released impatiently.

However, with Wu Xie by his side, there shouldn't be any big troubles.

"Hehe." The corner of the mouth was a little bitter.

Is it not normal for me to have this kind of thinking?

It's not that she expects much from him, she won't really trust anyone other than herself and Zhang Qiling.

But that young man had something she didn't have.

That was too dazzling for her.

——Be optimistic about him for me.

This sentence, which has been tangled in my heart for a long time, finally came out, but the answer I got from Wu Xie was unexpected.

'I'll do the same without you telling me.But, I can't replace Ajiu. '

What a strange guy.

Smiling, she pushed open the window.

It's too boring to wait here, so she also went out to look around, and inquire about the wind by the way.

<<<<<

Sure enough, only ashes were left. Ajiu looked at the charred house.There is still a faint smell of paste in the air.With one step down, the burnt wood was easily crushed into pieces.

The reason for this operation was to find Zhang Qiling's past, but after the past two days, several of them should have noticed that what they are looking for may not be as simple as 'memory'.In other words, many people are eyeing the things related to Zhang Qiling's memory.

She briefly listed the existing information in her mind:

Clues in hand: two old photos (one in Wu Xie's hand and one secretly taken out by Ajiu), the iron block in the box, and the fact that Chen Wenjin's archaeological team has been here.

I met three groups of suspicious people: the person who came to snatch the iron box, the weird villager who appeared near Zhang Qiling's house according to Wu Xie's fat man, and the black shadow who sneaked into Agui's house yesterday.

If these three groups of people are actually under the same influence, then they need to be careful in their next actions.That shadowy man didn't just get the key to Agui's house from somewhere—maybe someone from Agui's family had colluded with him, and they might actually be birds in a cage.

She came here with the fluke mentality of "maybe there will be clues left behind", so it seems that the trip was in vain.

In Banai, apart from this stilt building, the place where there may be clues is the lake that she went to unconsciously that day.

It would be best for them to go to that old guide today and return home with something.

Ah Jiu, who was about to turn around and leave, bumped into a person, said 'sorry' reflexively, and glanced up at that person, unexpectedly meeting his eyes under the brim of his hat.

The other party seemed to just look up, so the moment they met their eyes was as quick as an illusion.The man pressed down the straw hat and walked away quickly without saying anything.

Ajiu stared thoughtfully at the back of the person leaving. His clothes were not much different from those of the local elders.But the pair of eyes she saw just now were not as sharp as those of an ordinary Yao villager.Also, although he was wearing a hat so he couldn't see his face clearly, there might be some impression of that person in his mind just now.

Who do you look like?

Wu Xie?

No, it's not.Those eyes are like eagles, deep, wise, cunning, and there is a sense of mystery hidden behind everything, and there are obvious vicissitudes of time in it.And Wu Xie's eyes are clear and bright, still struggling between immaturity and maturity.

……

By the way, Wu Sansheng.

Although it was only a little bit, the person just now was somewhat similar to Wu Sansheng, or Xie Lianhuan.

"Tsk." She tossed her hair.Things are really getting more and more troublesome.

<<<<<

After wandering around the village for a few times and finding nothing special, Ajiu decided to go back to Agui's house and wait for Zhang Qiling and the others to come back.When she passed the wooden building of 'Agui's Son', she stopped.

I don't know if it's because of the evening light, the whole building looks very gloomy, and the bamboo curtains on several windows can't see inside.Moreover, compared with the stilt building of Agui's house, this building is obviously much older.

Does anyone really live in this building?

Detouring the front, I saw a person coming out from inside and carefully locked the door.

That person is actually a cloud.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Yun, who didn't expect someone to be here, was taken aback, and turned to see Ajiu just coming back.She smiled: "I'm here to clean the house."

Ajiu glanced at her empty hands, then at the house: "I heard that your brother lives here."

"Huh? Uh, um... sort of." Yun Cai looked away.

Noticing her unnaturalness, Ajiu still didn't continue to ask, but walked to Agui's tall building: "Where are Zhang Qiling and the others?"

"The bosses haven't come back yet." Yun Cai seemed relieved, and followed her from behind.Unexpectedly, when Ah Jiu heard this, she stopped in her tracks and turned her head: "Didn't you come back?"

"Yes..." Yun Cai was a little confused, but still nodded.

It was already six or seven o'clock in the evening, and it was not too late for Zhang Qiling and the others to go out in the morning.It's just going to ask an old guide to ask questions. Will it take so long?

"Yuncai, Yuncai." A local man ran towards them panting, and said to Yuncai in Yao language: "Your father asked you to take the hound to Panma's old man's house. My father never came back when he arrived at the back mountain. Also, I found bloody clothes in the back mountain. Dad may have died, so let’s go find it together.”

Yuncai thought that Ajiu could not understand Miao language, so she turned her head and explained to her, "Boss, something may have happened to Papa Panma, let's go find him now."

"Will Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie go with you?"

Yun Cai froze for a moment, then nodded: "Well, probably..."

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

Following the main force, Ajiu walked at the end.

It was past midnight now, and the moon hung lonely in the night sky, emitting a bleak cold light.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is absolutely no need for her to follow.

There are many well-trained hounds and locals who are familiar with the terrain. Even if a strange wild animal runs out in the middle of the night, Zhang Qiling can kill it instantly, and her presence will only increase the combat effectiveness.

At that time, she said that she wanted to come together without thinking, and she felt a little frustrated.

There shouldn't be any group animals that are too threatening here, otherwise these villagers wouldn't take the risk of searching for people so late.

But even if there is great danger, Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie will come here alone, right?

After all, this is the last clue.

"Ajiu!"

Wu Xie's cry pulled her back from her mind wandering.It seems that another group of teams found something there, and several people ran over together.

Blame her for being careless for a while, but she didn't realize that the crisis was approaching.

She seemed to smell the breath of the long-lost beast, and the crisis and hostility were hidden in the night and grass, approaching them step by step.

It seems that there is no need to think about those miscellaneous things, she is right to follow.

She took a few steps forward and jumped up.He took out the black gold ancient fan from the bag and unfolded it, and disappeared into the endless night together with her.

Next, it's hunting time.

<<<<<

After fighting wild animals for a long time, it was already dawn when I returned to Agui's house.

To be precise, she and Zhang Qiling were driven back.

Wu Xie followed the old man named Panma to question; Yuncai fell asleep when he got home from a sleepless night, and the fat man has not returned all night since he went to the fertilizer station to buy sulfuric acid yesterday...

After Zhang Qiling came back, he had been lying on the bed and dozed off. Ajiu asked Agui's eldest daughter for cotton cloth and oil to clean the blade of the black gold knife.

——You two are together, sooner or later one will be killed by the other.

At that time, the old man said this to Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling who were standing together in the vicissitudes of Yao dialect with a strong accent.

Where have I heard similar words.

'The old man just wants you not to be unfavorable to that adult. '

Ahh, I remembered. Twenty years ago, in a certain Miao village, an elder said this to himself.

——Don't harm Zhang Qiling.

Putting down the cotton ball in her hand, she turned the well-maintained blade at an angle, and the morning light reflected from the black blade, leaving a cold light mark on her face.

One or two, why do they say such things.

In the end who will harm whom, who hurt whom, this kind of thing, not the parties will not know.

With the sound of footsteps going upstairs in a panic, the door of the room was pushed open.

"Bosses, it's not good, the fat boss who is traveling with you..."

"Fatty?" Ajiu blinked suspiciously, and Zhang Qiling also sat up from the bed.

<<<<<

"Huh? Ajiu, are you alone?"

Near noon, Wu Xie finally came back.As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ajiu sitting bored on the bamboo chair in the hall shaking a fan.

"Yeah." She sat up straight and stretched her waist: "I don't know what trouble the fat man caused outside. He is in the village hall, and Zhang Qiling went to pick him up."

After hearing this, Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Ah Jiu, as if all the fatigue had been relieved.Although he was trying to maintain his spirit, Ah Jiu could still see the faint blackness under his eyes.

"Meet someone else?"

"Ah."

"Have you gained anything?"

"Yes... wait for the little brother and the others to come back and talk about it together."

"..."

He hangs his head as if he has no strength, and he seems to be thinking about something seriously.The sound of pots and pans clinking came from the kitchen.

"Ajiu."

"Ok?"

Wu Xie raised her head suddenly, her dark coffee-colored pupils were piercing, and Ajiu saw sparks of joy in them.

"I'll ask you again, can people really not be resurrected from the dead?"
