Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"It's almost there, but there is still a little bit to figure out." I stared down at the stone slab on the ground and replied thoughtfully.

Brother Qi Ling handed me the piece of cloud-shaped jade in his hand.

I just came back to my senses and asked him, "Where did this jade come from?"

Brother Qiling didn't answer, but gave me a mysterious smile and said, "Guess what."

I stared at his quiet gaze, thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Is it Brother Fat?"

"Tell me the reason." Brother Qi Ling neither affirmed nor denied, but just motioned me to continue talking.

"I remember he once said that the Yellow Emperor had a piece of precious jade called Huang. Later, the Yellow Emperor decomposed Huang into three parts. The cloud-shaped parts on both sides were divided into such jade pieces, and the ring in the middle was It was polished to become a jade bracelet. I guess he gave this piece of jade to his two sons Xuan Xiao and Chang Yi respectively, and the jade bracelet in the middle was given to his concubine Luo Zu. Luo Zu Put the jade bracelet in his mother country, as the national treasure of Xiling, and pass it down. Then imagine, if the other two jade pieces were brought into the ground, and the last person who went to Shaohao Mausoleum was fat Brother alone. With his level of tomb hunting, I certainly believe that he will not fail."

Speaking of this, I slapped my leg angrily, completely forgetting what this poor leg has just experienced.

"Oh, it hurts me to death, you liar." I grinned in pain while scolding Fat Brother.

Seeing my appearance, Brother Qi Ling might think it was a little funny, but he couldn't bear to laugh at me openly, so he just pursed his lips, took my hand and held it in his palm naturally.I couldn't care less about the other side, and my mind was full of memories of the scene of going to Hunan to rescue the fat brother. This fat man deceived me so hard!First of all, he was trapped in the tomb, so he just pretended to be dead, but afterwards he even said that the thing was not found, the key is that I still believed it!He happily took his bag of broken things as a dowry.

So the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, if the fat brother was here, I would beat him up.But after I calmed down a bit, I felt something was wrong after thinking about it. Could it be that the fat brother successfully deceived me at that time, but he didn't deceive brother Ling?Or did he confess the truth to him himself afterwards?

"Hey, tell me, how did you find out that the fat man was lying, and then asked him to hand over this jade obediently?" I turned my head to stare at Brother Ling and asked.

Brother Qi Ling originally just lowered his head, his gaze resting on the hands we held.I complained a lot, and I don't know if he listened or not.After a while, he looked up at me and said, "Do you still remember that the fat man said that his trip was entrusted by others, and it is a matter of death?"

"Remember! He also said that the man didn't trust him very much, and sent someone to follow him, but he abandoned him as soon as he entered the jungle."

"Well, based on what I know about Fatty, he might do some things for money, but if he doesn't want to do something, no one can force him." sighed.

"So, what you mean is that Fat Brother also had his own little plans at the time. Or it can be said that he didn't want to help that person from the beginning. The reason why he came out was to use his resources to help himself?" I asked puzzled.

"you can say it this way."

"But how can the employer agree to such a disadvantage?" I said with emotion.

"No! That's why they blew up the ridge."

"Dare they blow up the mountain because they want Fat Brother to die!" I was so excited that I wanted to jump up, but my leg injury didn't allow it.

At this moment, Brother Qi Ling gave me an expression that I had to experience for myself.

"No wonder this fat man, knowing that this trip may not be safe, left us an overly abstract clue. In this way, if we didn't find him in time, his life would really be in danger. Speaking of which, I kind of admire Fat Brother's backbone. But they are really stupid, even if they blow up the mountain and crush Fat Brother to death, wouldn't they be unable to get what they want?"

"It's shocking, but it's also a trick." Brother Qi Ling spit out these words slowly.

"Then you guys were too mean at the time. You knew everything, and you just kept it from me." I glared at him a little angrily, and withdrew my hand abruptly, complaining.

"This matter is very important, and the reasons for it are very complicated. I told him not to tell you." Brother Qi Ling lowered his eyes slightly, looking at me and speaking very seriously.

"Humph" I turned my head to the other side and ignored him.

"Zilin..." Brother Qiling tried to comfort me, hesitantly speaking, with a rather sad tone.

For a while, neither of us spoke again, and the surroundings fell into deathly silence again.Before long though, I was the one who couldn't stand the vibe and surrendered first.

I said quietly: "Sometimes, I wonder if I didn't lose my memory back then, wouldn't you all have to work so hard to hide many things from me?"

"..." Brother Qi Ling stared at me and continued to remain silent.

"It's okay, I can understand." I raised my hand to secretly wipe away the moisture from the corners of my eyes, and then said calmly, "Actually, I'm not that stupid. I don't know everything you guys did for me..."

Brother Qiling didn't wait for me to finish, he put his arm around my shoulder and forced me to lean on him.He sighed softly, "I wish you could be a little silly."

I didn't resist anymore, but decided to follow my heart, buried my face in his arms, and wrapped my arms around his waist, holding him tightly.Although my heart was very sad, the tears seemed to have flowed away just now, leaving only endless tiredness pouring up, I begged: "I'm so tired, don't go, let me take a break!"

He didn't answer, just resting his chin gently on my forehead.He patted my back with his hands again, once and for all, like coaxing a child to sleep.

Before I set off, I knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, and if I could see him again, it would be a luxury.Fortunately, the heavens are merciful and caring, and every minute and second now seems so precious. "Brother Qi Ling, you have done so much for me, I... what I can do is probably not to put you in danger again, I hope you can live a good life..."

After I made up my mind, I already knew how to solve the situation in front of me.At this time, the misty green light around him faded again, and slowly, the surroundings fell into darkness again.

This light is really weird, and it seems that the bright time is getting shorter and shorter. What is the reason?

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Brother Qi Ling's gentle voice came from above my head.

With my face still stuck to his chest, I asked casually, "Do you still have water there?"

"Yes, do you want a drink?"

"Not for now." After saying this, I slipped into his arms, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep peacefully.

About 4000 years ago, many tribes lived in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins in my country.Legend has it that the tribe headed by the Yellow Emperor first lived near today's Jishui in northern Shaanxi. Later, they went down the river, crossed the Yellow River to the east, and settled down near today's Zhulu in Hebei to develop animal husbandry and agriculture.

The age of man and god fighting together and fighting constantly is so far away from us.But I fell into such a nightmare, and I was deeply trapped in it. My mind was full of the sound of fighting and the beating of Kui Niu's big drum.The severed heads, the spewed blood, knotted characters, animal bone inscriptions, fish bones as combs, and millstones as mirrors.The disappearing Prince of Xiling, Mi Xin turned around resolutely, those pieces of jade bracelets, the cloud-shaped jade pieces, Shaohao Mausoleum, the ghost soldiers who are afraid of stone tools...

All the scenes were re-enacted, occupying my brain, chaotic, and corroding my nerves.

"Zilin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that something was wrong with me, Qi Ling quickly helped me up, trying to wake me up.

"Ah~" I woke up painfully from the dream, my forehead was full of sweat, and I looked at him blankly. For a moment, I couldn't tell what was real and what was a dream.

"Thank you for not leaving me behind." I loosened my eyebrows and said humbly.

"Don't think about it." Brother Qi Ling hugged me tightly without any explanation.

"Miserable mandarin duck!" I sighed in my heart.

"Did you fall ill just now?" Brother Qi Ling lowered his head and asked.

"No, I just had a nightmare." After calming down, my tone also returned to calm.

"Then... let's go, let's get out of here."

"Where are you going?" I asked puzzled.

"Calculating the time, Wu Xie and Fatty should have come in too. I left a mark for them and met at the designated place. We will discuss how to get out when we see them." Brother Ling helped me up as he spoke, and by the way Check out the wound on my leg.

At this point, I naturally didn't want to hold back, so I shook my leg at him and said triumphantly, "It's all right! Look how flexible you are."

Brother Qiling glanced at me, threw the backpack to me, then squatted down in front of me, and said in a deep voice, "What should I do if the root cause of the disease is fallen? Come up."

"Hey, are you going to carry me?" I smiled and didn't refuse any more. After putting the bag on my back, I obediently climbed onto his shoulder.

Although the royal city is winding and winding, it is still relatively flat.I put my arms around his neck and felt extremely happy. I will always remember this journey.

"When you were in Beijing, what did you do in Xiao's house?" Brother Qi Ling asked this question abruptly.

After thinking for a while, I replied: "Check the information! His study is huge."

"..."

Seeing that Brother Ling didn't reply, I thought he was jealous, so I quickly rubbed his shoulders and said flatteringly, "I'm sorry, I was angry at that time, and that's why I drove you away."

"Are you still angry now?"

"Don't be angry, you saved me just now, and now you are taking care of me. It's too late for me to be moved. How dare you turn over old scores." I made a fool of myself.

"Fool." After speaking, Brother Ling quickened his pace.We found the upward ladder and returned to the ground. No wonder old man Qi and the others couldn't find us. It might be the drainage system at the bottom of the royal city just now.

Thousands of years ago, these ancestors knew how to use scientific methods to design a livable architectural environment.Although it is a shady house, it is thoughtful and thoughtful.

"Hey, am I heavy? Why don't you let me down and walk by myself?" I patted his shoulder and suggested.

"No." He refused simply.

"Then take a break?"

"Need not."

"Then am I heavy?"

"..."

"Am I heavy?"

"........."
