Tomb Raiders Notes: If Innocence Had a Brother

Snake Lake Ghost Town

three days later

My dear mother and I sat face to face, feeling very uneasy.

After the blind man "enthusiastically" "sent me off" off the car that day, I gave him the international friendship gesture in the direction the car was leaving, rubbed my butt and walked towards the service station. Within two steps, a black Santana stopped in front of me. After going round and round, we returned to the Beijing compound.

It turned out that the black blind man called Xie Yuchen privately, sent someone to follow him, and then waited for me to get on the highway and throw me away.

Anyway, I was quite nervous on the way, and I wanted to know how Jie Yuchen would explain it, whether my second uncle would really throw me into the army, and whether Father Wu would go all the way north from Changsha and take care of me.

When I walked into Jie's house with tears in my eyes, the anxiety in my heart was washed away by a burst of hearty laughter. I winked at Uncle, the steward next to me, asking him to understand why the master was in such a good mood today?

Uncle didn't even look at me, so he led me inside. When I entered the door, I heard a woman chuckle again. When I entered the door and saw the lady sitting on the seat, I forgot all the excuses I had made in my mind before. My legs went weak and I stumbled into the main hall.

Sitting on the seat was Ms. Sun (made up by me), the daughter-in-law of Wu Yiqiong who barely appeared in "Tomb Robber Notes". She gave birth to Wu Xie's baby and ushered in a new era of Ping Xie or Xie Ping.

Ms. Sun, a wealthy local daughter from Hangzhou. This is the only identity I have about my mother after living in the world of Tomb Raiders for more than twenty years.

Xie Yuchen said polite words, and Ms. Sun happily echoed a few words. I sat aside, and I knew what it meant to be on pins and needles.

"You left Changsha when I was a kid, and Wu Xie was clamoring to come to Beijing to find you." Jie Yuchen just smiled and shook his head when he heard Ms. Sun's words. The two chatted for a while, and then someone under Jie Yuchen came to find us. After a while, Ms. Sun and I were left sitting in the main hall.

"You are as virtuous as your father, like a piece of wood!" As soon as Jie Yuchen left, Ms. Sun put away the smile on her face, took a sip of water, and placed it heavily on the table.

"Mom, are you tired from coming here from Hangzhou?" I said flatteringly. "Have you eaten? How about I treat you to a famous restaurant in Beijing?"

Ms. Sun waved her hands and was silent for a few seconds before she slowly said, "Let's leave your matters aside for now. I came all the way to tell you something."

"Mom, have you found your second love?" I asked in surprise.

"You bastard!" Ms. Sun was so angry that she picked up her handbag and started to throw it at me.

In fact, the marriage between Wu Yiqiong and Ms. Sun had cracks before Wu Xie went to college. But the two never quarreled at home, and I couldn't find the key point or cause of their conflict.

When Wu Xie went to college, Ms. Sun returned to Dayuanzi in Hangzhou with her suitcase, and rarely saw us. However, the photo on Father Wu's bedside was still a photo of the two of them together, and the family photo on the table in the study room was all pulpy to the touch.

Ms. Sun calmed down and said, "Your father and I have officially filed for divorce. I have already signed it. Your father also agrees, and the only thing left is to sign."

I shook my head and said, "Mom, our old man was holding your photo and talking nonsense when he was drunk. What are you two doing this for?"

Ms. Sun lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Can children understand the world of adults?" After speaking, she sighed. "I'm here mainly to take you back to Hangzhou."

"Huh?" This time it was my turn to be surprised.

"Mom will rely on you to support her in her old age." Ms. Sun said after taking a sip of water. "Didn't you say you would treat me to dinner? Let's go."

When Ms. Sun and I walked to the front door, I came to my senses and quickly grabbed her.

"Don't worry about your father and I..." Ms. Sun stopped with a look of helplessness.

"No, Mom, then I...just...that..." Just as I was squirming, Ms. Sun looked at me with more cautious eyes.

"I have no money." I ended the meeting with three words.

After eating and drinking, they carefully put away the bank card given by Ms. Sun, and the two returned to Jie's house, where Wu Erbai and Xie Yuchen sat in the main hall and talked.

Ms. Sun frowned and moved her mouth. Then she relaxed her brows and held my arm in a gentle manner.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Wu Erbai got up from his seat and asked Ms. Sun. I replied, "Hello, second uncle." After they sat down, the two of them started playing tricks.

"Sister-in-law is thinking of Wu Kang when she comes this time, right?" Wu Erbai asked.

Ms. Sun put away her smile and said lightly, "Wu Yiqiong and I have gone through the divorce procedures. Xiaokang will be the eldest grandson of our Sun family in the future. His name should be changed to Sun Kangning."

I sat aside with a blank expression. Second Uncle Wu said: "Xiao Li, take Xiaokang out for a walk."

I turned my head and glanced at Ms. Sun. Ms. Sun turned her face away and stopped looking at me. I got up and followed Xiao Li out of the main hall and sat down on the stone pillar in the front yard.

When the sun turned west, Ms. Sun left angrily, followed by Xie Yuchen. Her eyes were red when she left, and she didn't even bother to say a word to me.

When I returned to the main hall, Wu Erbai drank water from the cup. I stood aside not knowing what to say.

"I won't go to your mother's side for now," Wu Erbai said. "Just stay at Jie's house peacefully."

I nodded, "I understand, uncle, I'll go back to the bedroom first." After saying goodbye, I went back to the backyard and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Uncle Wu left Beijing and returned to Changsha this morning.

No one mentioned anything about going out to Beijing with Heixiazi a few days ago.

These days, I always feel uncomfortable staying at Jie's house. During the day, I carry a thermos cup and wander around in places like the park and Panjiayuan. Today is also a day to hang out in Panjiayuan.

Looking at the bustling crowd around me, a group of Beijing accents were mixed with one or two foreign accents, which was very lively. After leaving Panjiayuan, I found a small pavilion to rest in, basking in the sun and watching the bustling crowds on the street.

"Hello." I looked up and looked behind me. A little girl in her twenties wears this peaked cap.

"Hello." I replied politely.

"Let me introduce myself first." The girl sat next to me. "I am a staff member of the Travel Department of the Galaxy Earth Branch of the Infinite Universe Group. My surname is Li."

"What?" My eyes widened.

"You have been suspected of illegally crossing the border before, and now our company is involved to understand the specific situation from you. Please cooperate proactively."

After hearing this, I burst into tears. Even if I have lived for so many years and not waited for the Golden Finger, now I am still involved in a lawsuit, which is on a cosmic level.

I turned my face like a bitter gourd and said, "I will definitely cooperate actively."

Then we sat in a teahouse. Just when I was frowning, the girl looked at me and burst out laughing. Then he slowly leaned over and whispered in my ear: "Ten years of my life in exchange for your innocence."

Me: Shocked jpg

"You...you...you" I pointed at her and my fingers were shaking. "I...you are..."

The girl pressed my hand, nodded heavily and sat back down.

"Let me introduce you again. My surname is Huo and my name is Huo Sisi."

"Are you from the Huo family?" After receiving the affirmative answer, I took a deep breath.
