Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 100 Exploring the Secret Village

I looked up and saw that it was Zhang Qi, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, wondering if this kid also eats salt?

When the old man saw Zhang Qi, his hands trembled slightly, and he put the ladle by the well, shook his head and said: "The night wind is strong in the mountains, you better not wander around." After finishing speaking, he went straight away.

Zhang Qi stared at his back vigilantly until he disappeared.He quickly stepped forward and helped me up.I patted the dirt on my body and showed him a grateful expression.

He picked up the water ladle again, took a sip of the water in it, then handed it to me and said, "No problem."

I took it and drank it happily, but I was really thirsty.

Zhang Qi silently watched me finish drinking the water, then poured some water into the well again, put it in my water bottle, and handed it to me.

I nodded to him in respect, and said: "The old man is a bit weird, he..." Just as I was about to say more, I put my index finger on my mouth, motioning for me to keep quiet.

Then he said: "Now that you've finished drinking, go back to sleep!"

I shut my mouth wisely, and followed him back to the back hall. He suddenly and quickly pulled me into the room, and then stuck to the door and listened for a long time.Seeing this, I was also very nervous, and I didn't dare to breathe.

After a while, he left the door, turned on the light, and sat down.I also went to sit next to him and said in a low voice, "I think there is something wrong with this uncle."

"Yeah." He nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, I analyzed it on my own: "Look? It's strange enough that he lives alone in a village, and why doesn't he let Wei Tong go home?"

"Maybe this place is not suitable for living people!" Zhang Qi turned his head to look at me and said something very scary.

I just felt goose bumps when I heard it, so I couldn't help but sit closer to him and said, "Don't scare me, it's the middle of the night."

Zhang Qi patted my forehead lightly and said, "Since you know it's midnight, why don't you go to sleep?"

I was so choked that I couldn't refute, after all this trouble, how could I still feel sleepy?I pestered him to chat with him, but he really didn't know how to chat, and he didn't answer ten questions, but after a while, my bored eyelids kept fighting, and finally fell asleep when I couldn't hold on.

When I woke up, did I lie on the bed, or did I sit up in the same position as last night, with my face facing me and propping my head on my hands, with my eyes closed as if I was sound asleep?

"Wow, I have to admit that this person's sleeping appearance is really charming." Maybe he was afraid that I would be scared last night, he stayed with me all night with such a gentlemanly manner, and promised to chat, but I fell asleep before him , I secretly scolded myself, "It's really meaningless!"

"Such a charming and considerate man, it's a pity that the name is left to the owner." Thinking of this, my heart ached again, why is a good man always being preempted first.

At this time, the loud voice of the fat brother outside the door rang out inappropriately: "Innocent, where is the little brother? Could it be that he disappeared again?"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Qi opened his eyes quickly, and his eyes just met mine, which made me stop my wild thoughts and lower my head.He didn't say anything, he got up and pushed open the door, it was too late for me to stop it.

Fat brother's cheap mouth was seen by him to open up and leave my room early in the morning, so I don't know how outrageous and exaggerated it has to be.

Sure enough, the fat brother saw Zhang Qi who went out, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and what's worse, even Wu Xie had the same expression.

"God... Really, look! If you don't believe what I said, seeing is believing! They slept together, they really slept."

I couldn't help pushing Zhang Qi away, and hurriedly defended: "It's not what you think, I have nothing to do with him."

"Sister, it's okay to stay overnight, do you want to be responsible to my little brother?" The fat brother asked me carelessly.

"Damn it, why should I be responsible to him?" The grievance in my heart, and even if I fell asleep, he should be responsible for me, right? "I slandered my stomach endlessly. But I still kept my mouth rational, and continued to explain: "He is just chatting with me!" "

"Chat with my little brother?" The fat brother showed another surprised expression, and then said to Wu Xie: "She may have forgotten that my little brother's nickname is Dumb Zhang, and it is more reliable to make up the reason."

"What? That's the truth!" I saw that no one could speak twice, no matter how I explained them, they didn't believe me, so I pulled Zhang Qi behind me and said, "Tell them, did we just talk about it last night?" just chatting."

He looked at my anxious expression, pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, reaching the tip of his brow.

"Hey, don't laugh! Explain to me quickly." I couldn't help urging him.

He patted my forehead lightly, then shook his head at Fat Brother and Wu Xie, and left.

"Damn, what does this mean?" I couldn't help but get black lines in my head, thinking: "Brother, you should say a few words before leaving. What do you mean by shaking your head? Isn't that adding to the chaos?"

Fat Brother came over, patted my forehead as well, and said with a smile: "When I get back to Changsha, buy me a wedding bar right away?"

After I heard it, I immediately raised my leg and kicked it over, but he quickly dodged and missed.Then Wu Xie patted my forehead unavoidably, and said with a smile: "Zi Lin, lovers will eventually get married!"

"Ah! What the hell is that?" I wailed, feeling powerless like a show leader encountering soldiers, and then went after Wu Xie and Fat Brother. Since the language is so weak, only a fat beating can solve the problem. I feel bored.

I chased them to the front hall, only to see Zhang Qi was already standing in front of the table, staring at the things on it in a daze. . . . . .

Fat Brother and Wu Xie also joined in.For a moment the atmosphere sank again.

"What's the situation?" I curiously pushed aside Fat Brother's fat body.There was an old clay pot on the table, and a few jade silks could be seen inside the wide mouth of the pot.

"Jade silk?" This thing that we have only seen in pictures is quietly placed in front of us at this moment, but none of us dare to take it out for a closer look.

Zhang Qi looked around vigilantly, then turned and disappeared into the back hall.I also know that he should go to catch the old man and ask him to understand.But after a while, he came out again and shook his head at us.

"Damn it, what does that old man mean? Throw things here, but he disappeared." The fat man scratched his head and complained.

"Maybe he thought it was troublesome to deal with us, so he simply took out the things and let us take them and leave?" I looked at them and analyzed a hypothesis.

"It's possible. But these things are not equal to the agreed third delivery quantity!" Wu Xie added, overturning my assumption.

At this time, Zhang Qi had put his two oddly long fingers into the pot, and was about to take out a piece of jade.I hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, fearing that there might be poison on it.

Zhang Qi waved his hand slightly at me, and squeezed out one piece from the inside. The skin of the thing has been coated with a light yellow color, and the text on the edge is still clearly visible.It seems that it is really the same as the picture, the source of these treasures should be the same as the things on Wu Xie's map, and it is exactly what he wants.

I leaned against Zhang Qi, moved closer to the jade silk, then pointed to one of the characters and said to Zhang Qi: "This jade silk also has the character Qin on it."

"En." Zhang Qiqi nodded, and took out seven or eight pieces of jade silk from the jar. There was no exception, and there was this word on them. Just looking at these things, there was nothing strange about them, and they were not poisoned. The problem That is, why do Wu Xie's people have accidents one after another?

We looked at each other, and there was no other clue for a moment.Zhang Qi looked at Wu Xie, and motioned to put away the things first, and then check other places in the village.

Wu Xie nodded, and carefully put all these things into the bag.When they weren't paying attention, I asked Wu Xie for a piece of jade silk, saying that I would take it back and compare the notes and study it.

Wu Xie thought for a while, then agreed, gave me a slice casually, and then told me to be careful.

I reassured him, then wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in my pocket.So we went out and started exploring other houses in the village.

During the day, you can see the whole picture of the village, but after seeing it, it looks even more desolate. Except for a few houses that are considered complete, the rest are collapsed ruins.Moreover, thick green plants have been attached, so it is not clear what the original appearance of the house is.

"Damn it, it doesn't look like there are living people living here." We stopped in front of a house, and the fat guy patted the ashes on it, coughed from choking, and simply kicked the door open. He kicked and cursed.

Although we agree with his words, this approach is really impolite.I couldn't help thinking about it, and entered the main hall of the house. The layout was probably similar to that of the old man who stayed at the old man's house last night, except that there was no well in the courtyard of this house.

We entered the back hall and pushed open a room on the left. The light inside was extremely dark, and a strong musty smell came out as soon as we opened the door.

Zhang Qi turned on the lighting equipment and scanned in, and found that the space inside was not very big, and it could even be said to be empty, with only a photo hanging in the middle and an altar table under the photo.

Seeing this scene, I felt a chill in my heart, the shadow above Xiao Rong's attic reappeared in my mind, and I couldn't help following Zhang Qi's footsteps.

After we went in, we found that there was nothing suspicious inside, only the fat guy approached, illuminated the photo on the wall, and sighed.

"It's miserable, it's hung on the wall at such a young age."

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help being curious and went over to look at it, and found that the person in the photo was a man in his 30s, who was very handsome. If it wasn't for the incense burner on the table, there was a burnt under the table Even the traces of paper ashes do not tell whether this is a memorial place or not.

At this time, Wu Xie also approached curiously, and the three of us looked around the photo. We didn't expect that Zhang Qi would suddenly shout: "Who?" . . . . .
