Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Half an hour later, the air conditioner in the small apartment was blowing again, and the three of them sat apart on both sides of the coffee table in the living room, and Li Qiu made a cup of strong green tea for the poor man.

This guy who was unfortunately "killed by one stroke" by Ah Jiu is a frequent visitor to hand out small leaflets in this area. He often throws some small advertisements of "special promotion for nine yuan and nine" in the corridor, which wins the hearts of middle-aged and elderly women in the apartment. favorite.Afterwards, they got to know each other well. In addition to distributing leaflets, the small advertisement also helped the people in the building to pick up couriers and letters. They came and went, and they got a better reputation than the security guard at the door.

Naturally, today is no exception.

"So, what happened this morning was just an accident." Li Qiu smiled with absolute sincerity, and personally delivered the good tea to Xiao Advertisement, and comforted him: "You came to me this morning to help me deliver the tea. It was a registered letter, but you knocked on the door for a long time, only to find that the door was ajar, but there was no one in the room to answer."

Xiao Advertisement choked and nodded, clutching Zihong's pinched neck tightly, leaning away from Ah Jiu with lingering fear.

"Because you know me very well, when you found out that I was not at home, you put down the letter and left. But when you were about to leave, you saw a strange man rushing into my house. You looked twice because you were worried, In the end, he was mistaken by the other party for a thief who broke into the house, and he was beaten in vain."

Speaking of this, Li Qiu pointedly looked at Ah Jiu who was leaning on the sofa with his arms folded, with an arrogant look of "I am the uncle, I will never admit my mistake".

"Yes, yes, yes..." Xiao Advertisement broke out into low sobs of grievance, wishing he could throw himself into Li Qiu's arms to complain, but as soon as Ah Jiu made a move, he immediately stopped the sound.

But Ah Jiu just changed to a more comfortable posture, and continued to be arrogant, exuding the bully aura of a standard villain all over his body.

Li Qiu winked at Ah Jiu again and again, and continued to comfort Xiao Advertisement: "Look, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, and everyone calls it "no fight, no acquaintance". This friend of mine used to be a soldier in the army. He is a bit impatient and has a sense of justice. Very strong. When I came back, I saw a stranger poking his head at the door of the house. No... this was a big misunderstanding. It’s good to talk about it. We are all friends. I will pay all the money for you to go to the hospital to see your injury. Come out, walk around more when you have nothing to do, don't take this matter to heart."

Just as Xiao Advertisement was about to say yes, Ah Jiu threw a knife at him, and Xiao Advertisement shuddered all over, and changed his words instantly: "No, no, no, no, I am a work-related injury, and I can report it! I can report it when I go back! Maybe the boss And give me a vacation!"

Li Qiu can't laugh or cry, those who put up advertisements these days will not have five social insurances and one housing fund, but the small advertisements can't sit still anymore, and those who are on the same hand are about to retreat: "Anyway, anyway, the letter has been delivered to you, I, I, and I will go first Ha... don't give it away, don't give it away!"

Watching the innocent little advertisement stumbling out, Li Qiu sighed, and finally turned to the culprit on the sofa.

Ah Jiu closed her eyes irritably, feeling very upset, and kept silent.

He waited like this for a long time, but the blame or nagging from Li Qiu that he imagined never appeared, and after a while, a wet cold towel was pressed onto his face.

Ah Jiu lazily raised one eye, and saw Li Qiu sitting beside him with a smile, holding a glass of moderately warm white water in his hand.

"Thank you, Ah Jiu." Li Qiu wiped his face with a towel and gave him water to drink.

"What?" Ah Jiu lowered her leg, forgetting to mind this overly intimate gesture for a moment.

Li Qiu's eyes sparkled, and he said empathetically, "What, the sweat on your head hasn't come down yet, you must have run all the way back just now."

This is true, as soon as she learned that the Buddha Jade was taken away, Ah Jiu's first reaction was that Li Qiu might be in danger, so she hurried back, otherwise she wouldn't rush up and beat people indiscriminately.

"You were humming a song leisurely when you went out in the morning, and you came back in such a hurry all of a sudden, are you worried about me?"

Ah Jiu choked, being guessed by the other party, he was at a loss for a moment.Usually he is more articulate than Li Qiu, who would have thought that Li Qiu's sudden words would capture his inadvertent gaffe firmly.

"Why, didn't I worry about you so much before?"

"No, not at all." Li Qiu recalled the past, and said sadly: "You are a person who likes to be alone, you have hardly shown any affection for anyone, and you treat everyone equally with resistance, making it difficult for people to approach To be honest, if you hadn't saved my life by showing up at a critical moment, I probably wouldn't know that you actually liked me until I died."

Speaking of that accident, Ah Jiu was a little concerned: "Really, what did I do then?"

"When the explosion happened, you can escape by running outside, but you can only go back to a dead end. As a result, you turned around without hesitation, gave up escaping with the large army, and came back to save me who was trapped in a dead end."

Li Qiu's voice gradually lowered, the regret and tragedy brought about by that accident cannot be summed up in a few words at all.

Ah Jiu rubbed his chin, thinking about Li Qiu's description playfully, and went all out to save people?This is really unbelievable. In his only existing outlook on life and values, there is no such noble sentiment of self-sacrifice for others.Or does it mean that amnesia can really change a person's temperament? In the past, he was actually an infatuated kind who was desperate for love?

Looking at the indifferent Ah Jiu in front of him, Li Qiu had mixed feelings in his heart, sighed slightly, and took the initiative to cut off this unpleasant topic.

"Don't mention this, it's all in the past." Li Qiu opened the registered letter and explained to Ah Jiu: "Actually, you didn't go out for a long time in the morning, and I followed suit, because yesterday you said you wanted to eat homemade food. Meat buns, I will go to the supermarket in the morning to buy some fresh and cheap minced meat. You didn’t bring the key with you when you went out, and I was afraid that you would come back after I went out, so I didn’t lock the door at all.”

Then it was such a mistake, and there was an oolong.

"It's you, what happened to you outside, why are you in such a hurry to come back?"

Ah Jiu drank the white water in one gulp, and found that Li Qiu had carefully added white salt in it, specially prepared for him who was exercising vigorously in hot weather.

"It's nothing."

"Nothing?" Li Qiu was surprised.

"It's nothing. I saw a lot of fire trucks coming here on the road. I thought something happened at home, so I hurried back." Ah Jiu made up a clumsy lie. For some reason, he thought that the matter of Foyu disappeared Things are not that simple.Li Qiu has been so busy these days that he completely forgot about the credit he had in the restaurant before, and he didn't think about the Buddha jade that was thrown there. Maybe this is a good thing.

The registered mail was opened, and a form and several brochures fell out.

Li Qiu picked up one of the pages and read out softly: "Dear Mr. Li, welcome to the letter. On behalf of the Beidou Outdoor Sports Club, I sincerely invite you to join the Longmen Walking Tour held in Luoyang, Henan Province on the 17th of this month. Activity."

"what is that?"

"A hiking trip organized by a donkey club, I see, it seems to go to the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan."

"Hiking? You actually like to participate in this kind of activity."

"No, a while ago there was a tour group doing a written survey in the community near the tea house, and I filled it out at that time." Li Qiu flipped through it, and took out the last blank form, his face gradually filled with surprise, "It seems that everyone who filled out the form has participated in the club's online lottery by default, and I... won the lottery!"

Li Qiu excitedly gave the flyer to Ah Jiu, "Look, free donkey and group tour, three-day trip to Longmen Grottoes and Xiangshan Temple, as well as bonfire party and mountain camping!"

There is a towering big Buddha statue printed on the leaflet on the color page, which is the famous Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, but the most eye-catching thing is the word "free" on the leaflet, for fear that people will not see it. .

"How about Ah Jiu, let's go together? It's been extremely hot in Beijing these days, and there's not much business in the tea house. We just took this opportunity to go out and have fun. There are mountains and rivers and you can see the Big Buddha there. It's a good way to escape the heat. "

Ah Jiu pinched the form with two fingers, flicked it, "But this is a free tour for you alone, right? Does it say that you can bring others?"

"For the family members, I think there should be no problem, the big deal is to pay more money." Li Qiu happily wrote "2" in the column of the number of people on the form, and could not help but count Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu moved his mouth, but finally swallowed the refusal.Li Qiu called him a "family member". Although he made his own claims, he didn't hate it.

The itinerary was scheduled for two days later, Li Qiu dealt with the affairs at hand briefly, and then took Ah Jiu to an outdoor goods store to purchase.

It was the first time for Li Qiu to participate in such an outdoor activity, and he was full of excitement and anticipation for this trip to Longmen. From field tents to searchlights, from sunscreen to barbecue grills, from mosquito repellent water to smoke-free stoves, everything from dials to push-buttons in the car.

Ah Jiu lacked interest in this, but he still accompanied him, following behind Li Qiu step by step, throwing out a few useless things in the cart from time to time, and stuffing in a few tools that he thought would be useful.

On the third day, the two showed up at the coach station as promised, carrying brand new travel bags.

Li Qiu wore a denim shirt, simple and fresh, while Ah Jiu dressed coldly. Because the sun was dazzling, he specially wore a pair of light-colored sunglasses and Li Qiu's newly bought hat. He looked like an aristocratic young man traveling alone. Street homeless people are very different these days.

The two of them stood at the crowded bus station, forming a beautiful scenery that could not be ignored.A few minutes later, a driver-like person came to them.

"Hey, it's Mr. Li Qiuli, right?"

Li Qiu nodded, the driver was holding a form that was exactly the same as the one he had received, presumably he was the person from the donkey team who picked them up.

"It's the first time we met. My surname is Huang. I'm the tour guide and captain of our hiking trip. I'm not as old as you. Just call me Brother Huang."

Li Qiu shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner and introduced himself. Captain Huang saw Ah Jiu beside Li Qiu, "Excuse me, is this...?"

"This is my friend. I saw that there is no limit on the number of travelers on the form, so I added people without authorization. Do you think it is okay?"

"Okay, okay, our clubs are all over the country, and everyone who comes is a guest! Even if your friend joins, there is no shortage of parking spaces and hotels. Once you are acquainted twice, maybe he will be eager to join us after this time. gone."

The yellow team was very enthusiastic and brought the two of them to a small private gold cup.After boarding the car, the two found that there was already a man sitting in the car, occupying the last row with a hat on his face, sleeping soundly.

This kind of 7-seater car has only three rows of seats. Under Li Qiu's suspicious eyes, Captain Huang said with a smile: "All the people are here, let's start now. If there is no traffic jam on the expressway, if you hurry up, you should be able to finish the trip before dark." Run to downtown Luoyang."

"So this trip, are we the only ones coming from Beijing?"

"Yeah, let me think about it. There is one from Shaanxi, a few locals from Luoyang, and including your friend, we have a total of nine people this time. Because I happen to be working in Beijing these days, so I will drop by. Then you go away together."

It was the first time for Li Qiu to join a donkey team organized on the Internet, and he was a little uncomfortable with this kind of familiar and enthusiastic atmosphere.Ah Jiu boarded the car first, turned around and reached out to him.

Li Qiu didn't hesitate any longer, and embarked on the journey amidst the yellow team's satisfied smile.
