Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

A few people returned to the hotel quickly, Zhang Bold went straight to bed without saying a word, and slept with him in the dark.Li Qiu originally wanted to take a good rest, but Ah Jiu was worried about his health and insisted on taking him to the hospital for an examination.Li Qiu was very happy with Ah Jiu's sincere concern, and let him drag him in and out of various clinics, treat wounds, and draw blood through auscultation.Li Qiu was so tired that he couldn't bear it anymore so he leaned on Ah Jiu, woke up and fell asleep, anyway, with this man around, he didn't have to worry about anything.

There were countless casualties in this trip to the ground, and only the three of them survived. As for Teacher Wei and Glasses Chen, their whereabouts are unknown.The next day, Zhang boldly got in touch with the people from the Shang family in Beijing, and soon someone came to pick them up and do the aftermath and finishing work for them.

Before those people from Beijing came, Ah Jiu and Li Qiu boarded the bus home without saying a word.Before leaving, Ah Jiu called Zhang Bold, and the two talked with each other for three hours behind closed doors.

Li Qiu didn't know what they talked about behind closed doors, but he could guess vaguely, because when the two of them left, Zhang Bold didn't show up again, expressing that he had completely cut boundaries with them.

But to Li Qiu, these are not so important.

Now he is sitting on a smooth and luxurious bus, resting on the warm arms of his cohabitants, immersed in the comfort and coziness of traveling to the fullest.

"What are you thinking, you are still smiling with your eyes closed." Ah Jiu scratched his nose viciously.

"I'm thinking about my worries," Li Qiu opened his eyes, "I lost my mobile phone in the tomb and I can't find it. It will cost me a fortune to replace it when I get home."

"Is it such a small thing?"

"Why is money a trivial matter? But apart from that, there is really a profound question."

"Oh, let's hear it."

"Have you heard of the suspension bridge theory?" Li Qiu sat up, holding Ah Jiu's hand instead, and said, "Scientists have discovered through experiments that when we walk alone on a rickety suspension bridge, we will experience rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath. , Anxiety and nervous physiological reactions. But if there is another person accompanying us at this time and experiencing danger together, then we will instinctively associate these ambiguous reactions with the people around us and mistake them for love."

Li Qiu looked down at Ah Jiu's palm, "If you didn't come to Luoyang, would you get used to making such intimate gestures to me?"

It was rare for Ah Jiu to think about it seriously, and said: "I believe it will, but it's just a matter of time. Two people going through danger together can indeed quickly enhance each other's feelings, but according to your theory, I should be the first one after I come out." A pair of chapters boldly wrote a love letter to confess their love, how could this be love."

Li Qiu couldn't hold back, he laughed.

"So what are you worrying about?" Ah Jiu rubbed his head, "Or am I calling you so insecure because of amnesia?"

"no……"

Li Qiu was halfway through speaking, when he saw something suddenly, he tore off Ah Jiu's sleeve.It's been sunny these few days, but Ah Jiu is wearing long sleeves abnormally. Li Qiu didn't take it seriously at first, but now that he looked closely, he immediately noticed something was wrong.The sleeves were lifted, and there was a hideous red wound on Ah Jiu's forearm.

That was the bite he took Ah Jiu in the ancient tomb.

Li Qiu touched it with trembling fingers, his nose was slightly sore: "Does it hurt?"

Ah Jiu shook his head amusedly.

"I obviously bit so hard at the time..."

"At that time, you must have been in so much pain that you lost your mind. Compared with my little injury, you must have been in more pain at that time."

"Why don't you bandage it? For such a deep wound, ask the doctor to show you when you go to the hospital."

"I thought about it, but when I saw it yesterday, the wound has begun to heal."

What Ah Jiu said was true, the skin around the wound was slightly tight, and there was no massive congestion, which was indeed a symptom of the beginning of healing.But in two days, such a miraculous recovery speed is obviously not something normal people can have.

"Strange physique." Ah Jiu murmured to herself, shaking her hands indifferently.

"Ah Jiu, don't you...don't think it's strange?"

"What's so strange, this healing speed? There are many strange things on my body, and this one is not bad. If I study all of them, I will die of exhaustion."

Seeing it in his eyes, Li Qiu's thoughts turned and turned, and he barely raised the corner of his mouth.Although Ah Jiu said no, he still insisted on taking out the bandages and iodine used for camping, applied medicine to Ah Jiu's injured arm, and wrapped layer after layer of gauze.

Ah Jiu stared at Li Qiu's focused and self-blaming expression, and a strong and unfamiliar emotion gradually swelled and bloomed in his heart, and then following his instinct, he kissed Li Qiu lightly on the cheek.

Li Qiu was stunned, covered his face and stared at Ah Jiu, looking flustered as if he wanted to have an attack but didn't dare to.

"What's the matter, don't you like it?"

"No, you... you're so sudden..." Li Qiu frantically tried to find a reason, but the red cloud on his cheeks gradually expanded uncontrollably, "This, this is on the bus, what if someone sees it too much?" not good."

Li Qiu's youthful and awkward reaction fell into Ah Jiu's eyes, and he just thought it was ridiculous and cute. Thinking about it this way, when the two met for the first time in the restaurant, he asked Li Qiu to take the initiative to kiss him, which was indeed a difficult request.

"Anyway, I've already kissed on the mouth, so what are you afraid of when you kiss on the face?"

Li Qiu panicked completely, "Kiss...you, when did you!?"

Ah Jiu smiled inscrutablely, "Why don't you think that when you were drowning, how did I save you?"

Li Qiu wittily pretended to be stupid: "S-pat the back, right?"

Ah Jiu couldn't help but let out a choked laugh, and pressed her body forcefully in front of Li Qiu, deliberately blocking the only way out with her injured arm.Li Qiu was afraid of touching Ah Jiu's wound, so he didn't dare to struggle too hard, and because he couldn't make too eye-catching sounds on the bus.

"See clearly this time, that's how I saved you back then."

In Li Qiu's wide-open pupils, their lips touched each other without a single gap, and the surging emotions were transmitted from the heat, warming each other's hearts.

During the seven-hour return journey, Li Qiu was pushed in the back seat inhumanely by Ah Jiu, doing whatever he wanted.

At nightfall, the two returned to their home in Beijing without incident.

Five days later, a small car stopped in front of a teahouse facing the street on the Fourth Ring Road, and a tall man in a suit got out of the car.

This man was in his early fifties, with a weather-beaten face and a little gray at the temples, but he couldn't conceal his steady and capable aura from top to bottom.

"I'll go in alone, you guys wait for me in the parking lot."

The man left a sentence without looking back, and stepped up to the teahouse.Because of the hot weather, there were very few people going out at this point, and the teahouse was deserted, and the cashier boy dozed off every now and then, completely oblivious to the arrival of customers.

The man didn't want to disturb him either, so he went up to the second floor in a familiar way, and went straight to a bamboo table in the west.There was already a person waiting at the other end of the table, who probably had been waiting here for too long, and was leaning on the bench next to him at this moment, soundly asleep.

As soon as the man sat down, the dozing man murmured, "Good guy...you're late."

The man chuckled, "You came early, brother Zhang."

The person who came earlier, lying on the recliner, was Zhang Bold who had just returned from Luoyang not long ago.Zhang boldly rubbed his eyes and yawned contentedly. Then he regained his energy and patted his palm like a cattail leaf fan.

"Look at me, how can we be neglected by Uncle Yun, come on, I'll call the waiter and get a good Tieguanyin pot!"

"No need," Uncle Yun pushed him down, and poured himself a cup of remaining tea on the table. "In such a hot day, drinking herbal tea is the most refreshing. If you really make it hot, I won't be able to drink it."

Zhang boldly scratched his head, and understood that this person was never polite, and everyone on the road knew that Shang Yunkuang, the second in command of the Shang family, was a very easy-going person, not tricky or harsh, not bullying others, and not relying on his seniority. , There are two things to say, he is a "big housekeeper" who has won the trust of the old man of the Shang family.

Today, the well-known Uncle Yun made a special appointment for himself, and what he wanted to discuss was naturally a very important matter.Shang Yunkuang opened his suit, took out a thick envelope from his close pocket, and pushed it in front of Zhang Bold with two fingers.

"Remuneration, this trip to Luoyang has made Brother Zhang work hard."

When Zhang boldly saw the money, his expression suddenly became active and lively, "It's easy to say. But first pay the money and then inspect the goods. Only your Shang family can do it. The magnanimity and boldness can be learned from other families. If you don't come, I, Lao Zhang, just like to work for you!"

"Brother Zhang has won the award. Everyone is a brother who works hard to eat. How can we not take care of each other. In the future, when Brother Zhang gets tired of the work at hand, he will come to our Shang family. There is a word from our old man, including You will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

On very exciting terms, Zhang boldly smiled, and poured another cup of tea for Shang Yunkuang himself: "Uncle Yun, you don't know that I am a man with a cheap life, so I can't stay idle! You opened it like this Good treatment, I dare to assure you, if someone else is going to get on the pole and snatch it up, just me, a prodigal prick who is used to foolishly rejecting it, don't take it to heart."

Shang Yunkuang smiled understandingly: "No, everyone has their own aspirations, this cannot be forced."

"Hey, why don't you take a look at the goods this time?" Zhang Boldly pulled out a stack of documents from under the table as if by magic, and handed them to Shang Yunkuang, "These are all the materials of the Buddha's Tomb Dou. What's the problem? I'm here to explain it to you."

The entire experience of this Longmen expedition was recorded in detail on the thick document.From the people who set off, to the reasons for entering the tomb, to the accidents in the middle, to the smooth escape at the end, everything is listed in the document in detail, and at the end there is a candid photo of each member of the team.

Shang Yunkuang flipped through it very carefully, carefully checking every detail inside, thinking about it from time to time, and then took out a pen to draw circles on the document.Zhang boldly called the waiter who was too sleepy to keep his eyes open, and ordered a pot of expensive hot tea.

"This person surnamed Chen—" Shang Yunkuang clicked on the glasses Chen in the photo, and said, "When you called the first day, you said that this person is the guy who went to the ground to eat black this time?"

"That's right, when I was still in Luoyang, I got in touch with the Chen family, and after checking with each other, guess what? The Glasses Chen was dropped by someone! The real Glasses Chen died a long time ago. On the road in Luoyang, someone killed him, pretended to be him, and sneaked into our team."

Shang Yunkuang's eyes were slightly serious, "Who is this guy, tell me in detail."
