Tomb Raiders Notes: If Innocence Had a Brother

After climbing over the guardrail of the road, the four of us piled into the red flag car. The four old men were almost squeezed into a can in the back seat.

The fat man asked Huo Xiuxiu: "Sister, we are on the cusp of the storm, can we go somewhere far away?"

Huo Xiuxiu reassured us that the place was absolutely safe. Then he turned to Wu Xie: "Brother Wu Xie, this is my first introduction. My name is Huo Xiuxiu. It's been a long time since I last saw you. You're still the same."

Wu Xie was a little strange and asked, "Have you seen me?"

Wu Xie was still confused when there was a sudden loud noise, the car swerved, and the glass on the fat man's side was all broken. I protected my head, and then there was another blow from behind the car, and the rear window glass fell down covering my face.

The fat man's face was scratched by a piece of glass, and blood dripped down his chin. I looked up and saw a van. People in the van were walking down one after another, carrying steel pipes in their hands. The driver was yelling curses.

The fat man recognized Liu Lisun and said that the gang planned to take advantage of others. The driver of the red flag car here saw that the situation was not good and had already started the car. The people who gathered behind heard the sound of the engine, jumped on the smashed trunk from behind, strangled Wu Xie's neck, and tried to drag him out. The fat man simply dragged the man in and punched him on the head several times until one of his teeth chipped. When he let go, the man rolled down.

Not long after driving out, the car hit the isolation belt. The impact just now broke the wheel axle, making the car unable to drive.

Seeing the people behind them chasing after them, Fatty and Zhang Qiling kicked open the car door. Before getting out of the car, they asked Huo Xiuxiu if there were any steel pipe knives or the like in the car.

The person behind me rushed over immediately, and my hand hit my face through my suit jacket. It was covered with broken glass that I had scratched in the back seat. The fat man rushed towards people and knocked them over in an instant. I picked up the steel pipe on the ground and without saying a word, I waved at the person's head.

This is not a fight between children. It can be seen from the whirring sound of the steel pipe on the opposite side that Liuli Sun not only wants things, but also wants our lives.

The scene was four against ten. I protected my head and waved the stick at the same time. I didn’t know where the blows hit others. I just felt that I had received a few solid blows on my body.

Huo Xiuxiu on the side screamed, and then there was another scream. I glanced at it and saw that the fat man had two iron rods in his hands and a bright face, beating the person behind Wu Xie. Judging from the situation, this person wanted to sneak attack Wu Xie from behind. .

I was distracted, and the steel pipe grazed my ear, causing burning pain, and a stream of liquid flowed down my neck. I was also angry. I held the steel pipe with my left hand and no longer protected myself with my right hand. I pulled the arm of the person next to me forward and kicked him in the hip from behind. At that time, he was lying on the ground. I picked up the steel pipe and gave him a blow on the head.

The fat man shouted: "Capture the thief first, capture the king first." In front of everyone, a steel pipe hit Liu Lisun's head from 40 meters away. As Liuli Sun fell unconscious, everyone ran away within a minute.

The fat man’s head was covered in blood, and the car on one side was flattened and dented in the front and back, with holes all over it made by steel pipes. I went over to check the fat man’s injuries and wrapped his forehead with a shirt. Zhang Qiling supported Wu Xie and leaned against the side of the car. I guess Wu Xie was protecting Huo Xiuxiu and was beaten a lot. Huo Xiuxiu called someone to pick us up again.

We didn't dare to wait where we were, so Huo Xiuxiu led us in one direction. There is no Liuli Sun behind, but there are Liuli Zhao and Liuli Zhang. Those people didn't even try to cover up and just followed us.

On another street, a car was parked on the side of the road, followed by two jeeps driving down the road.

"Girl, why didn't you find someone to clear the way earlier?" the fat man said as soon as he got in the car.

"I didn't expect them to be so impatient and didn't even have the desire to see the form." Huo Xiuxiu sat in the front row, shaking a little, and took out a lot of tissues for me and Fatty.

"Liu Lisun knows your grandma?" the fat man asked.

Huo Xiuxiu nodded, and the fat man said: "This old boy dares to take the risk and go against the Old Nine Sect. It seems that they really need this thing."

I stretched out my hand to touch the wound on my ear and found that it was no longer bleeding. I wiped the blood on my neck with a tissue and thought about what the fat man said.

Twenty minutes later, we entered the courtyard community and got a simple bandage at a health clinic.

After finishing, Huo Xiuxiu took us to a sparsely populated courtyard.

After entering the door, there is a large courtyard. At a glance, you can see the old lady drinking tea in the courtyard, with Huo Sisi standing next to her.

Old Mrs. Huo asked Xiuxiu if she was injured. After Xiuxiu told the story, the old lady turned to us and said, "Fortunately, our Xiuxiu is not injured, otherwise I would have to skin you." He asked us to sit down.

I don't know the rest, so I just listened to what Wu Xie and the old lady said to each other. Finally, the old lady took Wu Xie to a side room.

I sat aside and looked at the persimmon trees and unknown flowers and plants in the yard. Wu Xie went in for a while and then came out to greet us in.

Fatty and Wu Xie told the old lady in detail the things related to Huo Ling and the discovery of Banai, Guangxi. I sounded a little distracted, but when I looked up at Huo Sisi, my brows furrowed.

When things came to an end, Mrs. Huo knelt down in front of Zhang Qiling.

Later, the old lady talked about the mission, contract and retribution of Laojiumen. When I first read the book, I just felt pitiful for the women of the Huo family. Now when I think about it, I just feel harsh and deeply helpless.

The old lady looked at Zhang Qiling, the emotions in her eyes were very complicated, "Do you want to know? Those things."

Zhang Qiling looked at her and didn't answer. Wu Xie seemed a little anxious, and gave him a look, telling him to ask quickly and don't miss such a good opportunity.

Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie and shook his head.

The old lady was a little surprised: "You don't want to know?"

Zhang Qiling's eyes were calm and as indifferent as water: "I don't believe you."

Then he didn't answer Mrs. Huo's question. She just turned around and walked to Wu Xie and said, "Take me home." After that, she walked out without looking back.

Wu Xie followed him out, and so did the fat man. I stood in the hall blankly. Wu Xie turned his head and gave me a sign to follow. I smiled and followed.

In the end, Huo Xiuxiu took us from Gongzhufen to Dongsi, going around and around. I woke up from my sleep anyway, and then entered an inconspicuous alley.

Outside the old house is a white marble wall, and there are pillars on the outside of the wall. It was dilapidated inside, with weeds as tall as a person. After pushing the door open, the fat man said, "Sister, this place seems to be used for courage training, not for living in."

Huo Xiuxiu handed us a bag containing daily necessities, and said that we would bring in bedding in the afternoon. : "I am a rich young lady, and I don't want to touch the spring water with my fingers. I would like to trouble you to clean up after yourselves."

I finally know that all the women in the Huo family have the same temper.

After Huo Xiuxiu left, the fat man helped us clean. Wu Xie came over and asked me, "How did you get to know that pink shirt?"

"His name is Xie Yuchen, and he is a relative of our family. My second uncle sent me to live with him in Beijing," I explained.

Wu Xie was a little surprised when he heard his surname was Jie, and then asked: "Then what does he mean by asking people to arrest you today?"

I sighed, "I guess I'm afraid that I'll get into trouble and I won't be able to explain it to the old Wu family."

After chatting for a while, the fat man urged us to clean up quickly. After everyone was covered in sweat, the room finally took shape.

After watering the jade seal and restoring it to its original appearance, I carefully observed its shape. Although I have a photo of Guixi, this is the first time I have observed it so directly and carefully.

It was in the shape of a unicorn stepping on a ghost. A unicorn held its head high and stepped on a three-headed little ghost. Wu Xie said it was called the Ghost Button Dragon Fish Jade Seal.

Changing the angle of the jade seal, those unicorn shapes turned into the shapes of countless arowanas. When the little ghosts looked at it sideways, the meaning of the arowanas could be seen in the tangled shapes.

The fat man began to think about who could take over such a big thing. The key was to be able to catch it.

Suddenly there were several loudspeakers outside. The fat man immediately wrapped up his things, climbed onto the beam and stuffed them into the cracks of the bricks. Huo Xiuxiu brought several people with her, including large and small bags. The fat man reacted quickly and happily asked people for drinks as if nothing happened.

Huo Xiuxiu didn't have any taboos. She sat on the floor and started drinking with the big guys like us.

Huo Xiuxiu used Huo Ling as a guide to talk about the history of Laojiu Men's fortune in the Republic of China and how it developed into what it is now. To be honest, Huo Sisi has never told me, and I don't really want to know about the grudges and resentments, how much of it is true and how much of it is false. Under layer after layer of cover-up, many original truths have lost their original meaning.

Huo Xiuxiu is very eloquent, and the story is vivid and vivid. The plot has ups and downs. Holding peanuts in my hands, I felt that our large group of people did not look like people fleeing in the wilderness, but like people listening to a play in a teahouse.

Fatty and Wu Xie were talking nonsense, and suddenly, we all heard the gate of the courtyard below creaking open. Then the flashlight swept through the window.
