Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"Dr. Cai sent me a message?" I read the text message repeatedly, thinking about the purpose of his text message.After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that he was just trying to trick me out and put me back in the hospital.

I wanted to reply a text message to ridicule him, but I felt that one more thing is worse than one less thing. It would be even more troublesome when he finds out my location, so I threw the phone aside and laughed it off.

At this time, Hu Bo came knocking on the door and asked me to eat, so I put this matter aside, but I didn't mention it to Xiao Rong, the main reason was to let him recover from his injuries and stop worrying about these things.

Two days later, Dr. Cai didn't hear from me again. I think he probably gave up seeing that I didn't take the bait.There is another embarrassing thing, I have always wanted to enter the third floor of the Xiao Mansion again to browse the remaining contents of the notebook.But if you sneak in without authorization, it is really against the way of friends.If I tell Xiao Rong the truth, I don't know if he can agree, after all, the reaction when I saw Hu Bo at the beginning, the secret room and attic on the third floor are indeed like forbidden places in Xiao's mansion.

"Zilin, eat more!" Xiao Rong thoughtfully put some vegetables into my bowl, and seeing that I was absent-mindedly just eating the white rice, he couldn't help interrupting my thoughts.

"Well, thank you!" I nodded to him, absent-mindedly picking up some dishes.

"I plan to move back to the city in two days." Xiao Rong talked about his plan while eating.

I nodded and said "hmm", and then responded to what he said, and said, "Huh?"

"What? Don't you want to leave?" Xiao Rong put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked jokingly.

I quickly waved my hand and said, "No, I just didn't expect it to be so soon. Is your injury okay?"

Xiao Rong looked down at his chest and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't touch it, it won't hurt."

That is a tangle in my heart!This time, if I leave and don’t know when I will come back, I don’t even know when I will be able to solve the mystery in the notebook.

"Zilin...Zilin, what are you thinking? Why do I feel that you are hiding something from me." Xiao Rong looked at me seriously, all my emotional changes could not escape his eyes.

"No...it's nothing, I just have a wish before I leave." I was anxiously preparing to make a request to Xiao Rong, but I actually wanted to use a roundabout way to achieve my goal.

"What wish? I will help you achieve it." Seeing my uneasy expression, Xiao Rong felt a little funny, and then patted my shoulder to encourage me to speak out.

"I felt very sorry for breaking into the attic of Xiao's mansion last night, so this time I want to formally burn a stick of incense in front of Uncle Xiao's mourning hall to express my apology." I took a deep breath and expressed my thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rong's eyes lit up, he happily held my hand and said, "Really? Are you willing to meet my father?"

Xiao Rong's reaction really exceeded my expectations.He seemed happy and didn't mind at all if I entered their Xiao family's forbidden area again.

I laughed and said, "I'm so nervous when you say that."

Xiao Rong's smile deepened, and then she dragged me up to the third floor, muttering: "Don't be afraid, my father praised you very much before his death."

After hearing what he said, my heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly asked: "You mean, your father knew me before he was alive?"

"Yes!" Xiao Rong answered me while unlocking the password.

The door opened with a "tick". The lock turned out to be really useful. I always thought it was put here to bluff people.

"How could he know a nobody like me?" I sighed.

"Zi Lin, don't underestimate yourself. You were outstanding in school, and you are also Teacher Yu's favorite student. Oh, you may have forgotten that Teacher Yu and my father used to be very good friends." Xiao Rong opened the door in the room. Light, led me to the closet where rows of notebooks were placed, silent for a while, and said: "I must tell you, the notes and materials I sent to you last time were all sorted out by the teacher before his death."

"What?" I couldn't believe it. I thought that everything would be explained. Why was there my handwriting on the notebook? It turned out that after going around in circles, these were Teacher Yu's notes.

"Teacher Yu, I am afraid that he is the eternal pain in my heart. I respect him so much and worship him. But now he has disappeared from my memory, and I can only find his shadow and Spirit. If he really recorded the secret in these notes, then I have the obligation to untie it and fulfill his wish during his lifetime.

"Teacher Yu's academic inquiry spirit is indeed worthy of our study." Xiao Rong's admiration for the teacher seems to be no less than mine.

"Come on, Zilin" At this time, Xiao Rong had already walked to the edge of the small stairs under the attic, urging me to go over.

To be honest, I still have the shadow above in my heart, but this suggestion was made by myself, and I can't justify it if I don't go up now.I scolded myself in my heart, what kind of bad excuse is this!

I walked over slowly, Xiao Rong stretched out his hand, and pulled me up the stairs.Pushing open the small door, the layout inside is the same as before, except that there are a few spaces left in the glass cover of the low cabinet.I pointed to them and asked curiously, "Where are the antiques?"

Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, then said: "My friend likes it, so I gave it to him."

I shook my head slightly, thinking that this rich man's mind is really difficult to figure out, and this kind of national treasure-level antique can be given as a gift.Xiao Rong is probably also a prodigal son.

Xiao Rong didn't see my reaction, but solemnly took out a few sticks of incense from the case table and lit them, and then distributed a few sticks to me, and we both bowed to Uncle Xiao and burned the stick of incense.At this time, I was not as scared as before.

At this time, I took a closer look at Mr. Xiao on the portrait, and found that there was nothing to be afraid of, he was just an ordinary old man.Sure enough, most of the fear of this thing comes from seeing only a rough idea, and [-]% of it is all imagined by myself.

"You must be very curious, why did I set up such a room at home?" Xiao Rong looked at his father's photo and said silently:

"These things are my father's favorite things when he was alive, so that he can look at his favorite things every day. No matter where he goes, he won't feel lonely."

Xiao Rong's filial piety is still quite touching, but since these things were his father's favorite during his lifetime, why would he give them away?Xiao Rong sometimes contradicts his words.I saw that he was very sad, and I probably felt nostalgic, and it was not easy to find fault with him, so I let him go.

Coming down from the attic, I stopped in front of the row of notebooks and refused to leave.Xiao Rong looked back at me puzzled.

I hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but said: "Senior, in fact, last time I found something unusual in the notebook you sent me."

"Really? Xiao Rong came back after listening to my words. It seems that although the notebook has been here for a long time, he doesn't know the secrets inside. Now he is obviously as curious as I am.

I took out the actual copy, flipped through it, and pointed to the content inside, saying: "Look here, and here, these dynasties are very confusingly inserted, and the normal records and materials written like this will be a disaster for future readers." So I think the teacher was either out of his mind when organizing these materials, or wrote it like this on purpose.

There are so many notes, and it took a lot of time and thought. If there is no purpose, he can't do such a boring thing, so I guess, there must be secrets hidden in these materials. "

Xiao Rong nodded, deeply convinced.

I said again: "I heard that the teacher died very badly back then, and I almost lost my life because of this. So I thought, solving the riddles inside and understanding the secret that the teacher tried so hard to protect back then would not be in vain. taught me a lesson."

Hearing this, Xiao Rong shook my hand excitedly and said, "Zi Lin, if you have the heart, I will support you with all my strength! Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?"

I couldn't help laughing and said, "Lend me these notebooks to study first."

"What's the problem with that?" After speaking, Xiao Rong moved out all the notebooks in the closet.We each held a stack and went downstairs.The process was much smoother than I imagined. I didn't expect Xiao Rong to support me with all my strength based on just a guess.

We put the notebook on the desk in the study, ready to organize it from scratch.The notes are written in chronological style, and they have been written since the ancient mythology period, which involves many aspects of ancient characters, which makes us at a loss.

Xiao Rong covered the notebook and said with a smile: "It seems that we can't do it alone. It just so happens that Professor Sun is in Beijing. We will move these to the urban area, and we can ask him for advice when we encounter something we don't understand."

"That's great." I nodded in agreement, thinking that Professor Sun said last time that he didn't want to see me again, but now he will always give Young Master Xiao face!

"It's not too late, let's leave tomorrow?" Xiao Rong seemed more anxious than me.

I didn't answer, I was a little worried about his injury, he saw my concerns, pointed to the wound and said, "It's really all right, if you don't believe me, pat it."

I glared at him and scolded: "I wanted to do this, but when the wound opened, Hu Bo must kill me."

Xiao Rong smiled without saying a word. After we simply packed our things, we drove back to the car market the next day.Xiao Rong settled me in the previous residence.And the house directly opposite used to be the place where brother Qi Ling lived. Whenever the lights first came on and I looked at the dark window of that house, I felt a panic in my heart. Could it be that we will never see each other again?

The rented car hit the guardrail when fleeing, and the car rental company was paid a large sum of money.I secretly cursed that I was really unlucky when I came to Beijing this time. I wanted to retrieve my memory, but I almost lost my life inexplicably. Not to mention the physical pain and fright, Xiao Rong was also seriously injured. Now Still have to break the bank.

But Xiao Rong is more transparent than me. When I complained to him, he comforted me and said: "Life is all about experience. As long as people are safe in the end, they will grow and people will progress because of it."

"Well, anyway, it's him who hurts, and he's the one who hurts. My situation is not that big, I just feel that if it's a deal, I've already lost it."

On the second day after returning to the city, I received another text message from Dr. Cai. This time, his tone was very urgent, and he wrote in a pleading tone: "Zi Lin, I know you have every reason not to Trust me, but I have to tell you that you are in danger now. My time is running out, tomorrow at the gate of the second farmer’s market, at [-] pm, please show up, please trust me! Dr. Cai.”
