Tomb Raiders Notes: If Innocence Had a Brother

I dropped the Bumucang in my hand and hugged Baqi with both hands to pull him out. Who knows if there is a puddle or a swamp under our feet.

"Come here! Pull him out!" Carlos ran to the front, extremely nervous. He had just entered the forest, would he be broken?

He pulled Baqi up with all his hands and feet, "My legs!" There were some tears in the pants made of raincoat, and the yellow-brown leech twisted its body to get in.

"We have to deal with the wounded," Carlos said to Okitashima.

The team members have methodically opened the tarpaulin and placed it on Baqi's head. I lifted up Baqi's trouser legs. It must have been scratched by something while walking. There were seven or eight strips stuck to my calves.

"Baqi, bear with it." Carlos used a lighter to burn the leeches adhering to his legs.

The black blind man picked up a stone and threw it into the puddle in the distance. There seemed to be countless leeches dancing in the churning water.

"Boss, it seems we have to change our route." The black blind man glanced at the locator in his hand, turned around and said to Okitajima.

"The road has been walked by Gu Huaisheng, there should be no problem. It's just a little leech, the road cannot be changed." Okitashima objected immediately.

The blind man remained silent, just looking down at the locator in his hand.

"It's been raining heavily these past few days, and the road ahead has been flooded and turned into a swamp. For safety reasons, I'm afraid we have to go around in a big circle." Carlos handed me the lighter and motioned for me to continue treating Baqi's injuries.

"Actually, I suggest that we retreat to the camp and wait for the weather to clear before moving on." Carlos didn't want his people to have any problems along the way.

"I don't have that much time." Okitajima was a little impatient.

Carlos wanted to argue, but in the end he didn't say anything. After all, what they were doing was taking people's money.

"We can't go back. We go around this swamp, through the rainforest, and rush to our destination. There is a village in front of us. We will rest there tonight." Okitashima informed the people present.

"How's it going?" Carlos asked.

"It's nothing." Sister Baqi replied, touching her leg.

I tied her trouser legs around with rope to prevent any more leeches from getting in.

"Guys, please tie up your trousers." Carlos ordered again.

In the evening, the rain began to taper off, and when it became completely dark, only the light of the flashlight was left in the forest.

"There are stone steps here." Mu Anlie staggered and squatted down to find the stone steps covered by the grass.

"The village should be right here." Okitashima looked into the dark distance.

"Check around, we'll spend the night here." Carlos secretly observed Okita Island and dutifully arranged tonight's vigil.

After settling in, everyone began to prepare for the evening meal. According to the tradition of the mercenary team, the group exchanged information by distributing food.

Everyone answered in twos and threes with some casual answers. Carlos motioned for everyone to be quiet. "This area is a famous no-man's land, but Okitashima knows that there is a village here. Everyone's eyes are bright, and the wooden warehouse is ready." After saying this, he gestured for everyone to disperse.

I took out the medical bag to change Baqi's dressing and loosened the bandage. There was no bleeding anymore, but the wound was soaked and turned a little white.

I re-wrapped the wound. I was a little worried about Baqi. We would have to stay in the rainforest for ten days and a half. If it kept raining, the wound might become infected.

"Don't worry." Baqi saw my worry and smiled at me.

I sat next to Baqi. I joined this mercenary team a week ago. Carlos, the captain, always had a business-like appearance. Jinbalin and Mu Anlie had similar personalities and were relatively exclusive. Sang Nan is a boring gourd. According to my observation, Hun Sen and Hu Li should be a couple. Baqi is a cold-faced and warm-hearted master.

Okitajima sat with Professor Tu who was accompanying him, playing with an unknown machine. It was said that Okitajima had a black tumor and could live for about half a year. This professor is mainly responsible for the health of Okita Island.

"Sister Baqi, I'm going to make a convenience." Wandering around the camp, I looked for traces of Heixiazi everywhere.

"We are a bunch of green pepper fried rice, green pepper fried rice, very fragrant, you know? I am in the jungle ~ in the jungle ~"

When I heard Ruoyou Ruowu's singing, I dare say it was better than my opera singing.

When I looked for the singing and moved closer, I saw the blind man sitting in the corner.

"Hey, let's eat together." Unexpectedly, Gu Ziqing was also there, so I stopped approaching.

"You can't do this." The black blind man looked at the can in Gu Ziqing's hand, took out the lunch box from his bag and handed it over. "Let's order some fried rice with green pepper and shredded pork. The shelf life is ten years, and you could die here, and the rice won't go bad."

"Ten years, can I eat it?" Gu Ziqing said what was in my heart.

But in fact, except for the potato devil who hates green peppers, almost no one can resist the temptation of shredded pork with green peppers, especially in the rainforest where there are only marching rations and canned food.

Gu Ziqing swallowed, opened the package carefully, and put the rice into his mouth.

"Extend your hand." The black blind man took the little girl's hand and looked at it carefully. "You are not the material for this bowl of rice at all. There is no point in going into the jungle except to slow down the progress. I don't understand why Okitajima asked you to come."

"Why am I slowing down the progress? As long as Okitashima pays, I dare to come." Gu Ziqing withdrew his hand and said angrily.

"Gu Huaisheng has made a lot of money over the years. Come, let me show you something." The black blind man handed the sword he picked up to Gu Ziqing.

Gu Ziqing glanced at it, "Isn't it just a rusty Japanese military knife?"

"If it were Gu Huaisheng, he would tell you that this is a 30 Army Thorn, the standard equipment of the Japanese army during World War II. This place should be the Japanese war zone, and this small village is a place that is only mentioned in company reports. But that Japanese He knows the situation here very well, either he has participated in this war, or someone who came back from here told him." The black blind man said to Gu Ziqing while eating.

"You know quite a lot." Gu Ziqing said. For her, this was a level that she had never been exposed to before, but then she thought of Gu Huaisheng's indifference to her over the years, and the blind man's words "If it were Gu Huaisheng If so, he'll tell you".

He said dryly, "So what, what does it have to do with me."

"I just want to tell you that not a single word of that Japanese person's mouth is the truth. His purpose for letting you come here is not simple. You have to think carefully and carefully."

Listening to the black blind man's words, I was a little surprised. Is he starting to show pity to her? !

"Thank you for your advice, but I don't think it's necessary. I just want to make money. Thank you for the fried rice." Gu Ziqing didn't want to continue talking, so he ended the topic in a hurry and said goodbye to Heixiazi.

"Master Hei." I cleared my throat and walked out from behind the tree.

"Hey, isn't this Wu...the lawless little bastard?" The black blind man adjusted his sunglasses. I heard footsteps behind him, it was Mu Anlie.

"Ba Qi told you not to run around." After Mu Anlie said that, Hei Xiazi and I only looked at each other twice, then left with the gun in hand.

"Hey." I scratched my head and sat aside, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"Master Hei, I..."

"Don't call me master, you are the master." The black blind man said angrily.

I felt even more embarrassed in my heart. I can only say that I played too hard at the beginning.

"Did you hear what you just said clearly?" After a while, the blind man asked.

"kindness."

"I don't know how you got in, but it's too late to leave now. The laborers are just doing nanny work all day long." When the black blind man said these words, he was gritting his teeth.

"Master Hei, please tell me." A smile appeared on my face. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person.

"Get lost! I get annoyed when I see you!"

"Master Hei, when did you discover me?" Anyway, I was stubborn and refused to leave. Hei Xiazi is no longer a master who can be hired with a lot of money, and Okitajima doesn't seem to be on the road, so this I'm afraid it will be a bad trip. If you don't hold your thighs tightly, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.

"Just your three-legged cat skills."

"Yes, I am just a little shrimp in front of Mr. Hei." I smiled, not annoyed at all. "Master Hei, is there something wrong with Okitajima?"

"Yes." The black blind man waved his hand and sent me away. When I walked out, I saw Carlos coming. The two of them nodded, and I walked towards Baqi.

"Did you go to see the blind man?" Baqi asked directly when he saw me coming back.

I was a little annoyed. Is it necessary for Mu Anlie to report all my whereabouts? !

"Well, he has this over there." After saying that, he handed over the green pepper and shredded pork rice.

Baqi took it and said thank you.

"Let's go to bed early after eating." I sprinkled some deworming medicine around and said to Baqi.
