Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"What's down here?" Curiously, I adjusted the flashlight to the brightest position, and when I was about to project it down, Brother Qi Ling flashed out from nowhere and stopped the movement of my hand.

"Why did you come up?" He pulled me in and asked in a deep voice.

"Don't worry about you!" I said to him with a smile.

"When will you be obedient?" Brother Qi Ling glanced at me, his words full of helplessness.

Well, I really don’t know the answer to this question, maybe next time, maybe next life.But I also have the desire to survive, so of course I dare not speak the truth, I spread my hands lightly, and let him guess by himself.

He glared at me immediately, and I immediately leaned against him cowardly, changing the subject and asking, "Did you find anything?"

He was silent as if he didn't hear.

I didn't take it seriously, and looked carefully at the stone figurines on the platform.These stone figurines are more detailed and lifelike than those below.There were still some dark things left in the pottery in my hand. I handed the flashlight to Brother Qi Ling, squeezed it up and put it in the palm of my left hand.

"What do you think it is?" I asked pretending to be mysterious.

"What?" Brother Qi Ling came over curiously.

"This is carbonized rice. It has appeared in the Hemudu ruins. I didn't expect it to be here." I suppressed the excitement in my heart and tried my best to say it in a calm tone.

"The rice in the Hemudu site can be preserved because it is kept in the accumulation layer and isolated from the air." Ge Ling probably means that the environment is completely different from here.

"That's true. It's quite a miracle that this thing can be preserved like this after being exposed to the air for a long time." I looked around and sighed.

After that, we both looked at each other and fell silent.

Brother Qi Ling looked up at the beam of light. At this time, its aperture became wider and wider, and the surrounding area became brighter.Then he looked down at me and suggested: "Your leg is injured, you shouldn't stand for a long time, take a rest first!"

I nodded and replied, "Alright."

So, I found a place on the edge of the platform and sat down.Look down here and see a large area illuminated.The crowd is full of crawling stone figurines, and the scene is very spectacular.

"Tell me, even though these are not real people worshiping, the visual effect is quite shocking when you look down from a high place." I turned my head and sighed to Brother Ling.

"Human nature has been like this since ancient times," Qi Ling said silently.

"Well, as the leader of the tribe that ruled the Central Plains of China, let alone such a stone figurine, it's quite normal to kill a few slaves, livestock and so on." After saying this, I leaned forward and looked at the sunlight. It is slowly moving up the steps, and the aperture is getting bigger and bigger.

"This design is amazing, and everything here is amazing." I said to Brother Ling with a smile.

He looked at me thoughtfully, but didn't answer.

I couldn't stand his gaze, I looked down at my hands that were twisting the corners of my clothes, and complained: "Why don't Wu Xie and Fat Brother come, are your marks correct?"

"There may be other changes, just wait!" Brother Qi Ling closed his eyes, chose a seat beside me, and sat down.

"Hmm... Maybe!" I actually wanted to say a lot in my heart, but when the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to speak?

Brother Qi Ling seemed to see my embarrassment, and asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

I looked up at him when I heard this, and asked in a little surprise, "No! Why do you ask that?"

"It's fine if you don't have one." He didn't explain, and stretched out his arms to wrap me in his arms.He said solemnly: "Promise me, don't come to this kind of place again in the future, and be good."

Taking advantage of the situation, I wrapped my hands around his waist and retorted: "You have to promise me this before I can promise you."

"Well, I promise you." He didn't hesitate at all, and agreed very simply.

"Then I promise you too. When you go out from here, just find a place to stay and don't go anywhere! Take you to the supermarket and vegetable market every day, and cook delicious food for you. You said in Chu's tomb I actually like those dishes, right? Fat Brother said that you only like beef tenderloin and braised bamboo shoots in oil. I am very touched that you care so much about me.” I spoke very seriously, imagining the future and the days he was together.

"By the way! What kind of flowers are you talking about growing in the yard all year round?" Because I was not the mistress of the yard at the time, I didn't pay much attention to what I said casually, and I left it behind. In the back of my mind.

"Plant roses in spring, jasmine in summer, sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter. You let me plant them well, and after the flowers bloom, you can enjoy them, and then you can steam cakes for me." Brother Qiling told me at that time I remember the words very clearly. After he finished speaking, he stroked my hair with one hand, and continued: "My name is Wang Meng, and I bought flower seedlings that are more than two years old, and I asked him to take care of them every three days. .I think it's autumn now, and when you go back, you should be able to see some sporadic flowers blooming on the transplanted osmanthus trees."

Hearing this, I was very surprised. I never expected that he would be so concerned about this matter.Is this intention behind my desire to make flower cakes?Immediately, I felt that this guy might also have the potential to be a foodie, and he could be so attached to the little flower cake, so I couldn't help but pat him with the hand on his waist, and comforted him: "Okay! I'll give it to you first when I go back." Steam an osmanthus cake and try it. If the flowers bloom more, you can also make osmanthus tea and brew osmanthus wine. There is a famous Jiangnan dish called osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root. Don’t you like sweet things? Make it for you to eat."

After I finished speaking, I raised my head in his arms and smiled with an inviting expression.He also lowered his head, looked at me, kissed me lightly on the forehead, and then pulled me into his arms again.

I hugged his hand back tightly and said with emotion: "The last time you left Hangzhou, I remember it should be when Fat Brother disappeared. At that time, you must have been in a hurry when you left for Beijing, but you still remembered to ask Wang Meng to take care of you." Do these things?" Speaking of which, I sat up and remembered that after the fat brother disappeared, Wu Xie said that when he called back to Hangzhou, he hadn't been contacted, which means that no one actually notified him of the fat brother's disappearance?Then he came to Beijing to say he was looking for someone, did he come to look for me?

"By the way, how did you know Fat Brother was missing?" I asked suspiciously.

Brother Qiling hooked the corners of his lips, and jokingly said: "I don't know who called me from Fatty's office. The strange thing is that this call is the quietest one I have ever received. phone, so what do you say?" He looked at me with a smile in his eyes.

"Oh, so you were suspicious and called back after I hung up?"

"Yeah! But you had already left by then. I heard from Fatty's clerk that you were crying?"

"...You came to Beijing to look for me right away because you were worried about me?"

Brother Qiling didn't answer right away. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I thought you chose him. If you think it's better to be with him, I will bless you too, but if he betrays you, I will not let you down." ..."

Before he finished speaking, I threw myself into his arms again, and interrupted: "How is it possible, I always only have you in my heart, and I would leave Hangzhou at that time, just thinking that you disliked me living in your house, and let you and you Your sweetheart has a rift, which is hindering you."

After hearing this, Brother Qi Ling laughed, put his chin on my forehead, and finally spit out the word "fool"!

"Huh, you're still laughing! I've figured this out a long time ago. It wasn't because you told me about your girlfriend that I always thought you were a married man, so I kept a distance from you. I've been so nervous all day long that I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you." I angrily pulled out my hand and gave him a hammer.

He just laughed and ignored it.

I said again: "Later in that forest, you expressed your heart to me, and then I dared to face up to my feelings for you. Slowly, I also figured it out. You once told me in Hangzhou that I was never the only one who was right. So the so-called girlfriend at that time, the sweetheart was also referring to me, you made me jealous, how will you settle the account for almost dying of acid?" The more I talked, the more excited I was, and I couldn't help but hit him twice.

He let me vent, held my hand, and asked gently: "How do you want to count?"

"How would I know? You've watched the joke for so long, if you don't follow your wishes in the future, you will definitely make fun of me and make me half you short in front of you." Thinking of this, I Feeling frustrated, on the one hand lamenting my impressive IQ, on the other hand blaming him for finding trouble for me.

Seeing that I was really depressed, Qi Ling smiled at the right time and promised, "No, you forgot, my memory is not good, and I will forget about it after a while."

I lay on his chest and "hummed"!Weakly said: "Even if you don't mention it, Fat Brother and Wu Xie will make fun of me from time to time. Especially Fat Brother, he has such a bad mouth! From now on, he will take my shortcomings and argue with him without the slightest bit The odds are up."

Brother Qi Ling pursed his lips, suppressed his smile, and pretended to sigh: "This matter is more difficult, either you don't argue with him in the future, or call me to cheer you up when you argue, do you think it's OK?"

I knew he was joking, but I couldn't help but take it seriously.Sitting up and staring at him, he said: "You said this yourself, and you must do what you say. After that, you are not allowed to leave me again. Can you do it?"

Brother Qi Ling raised his eyebrows, and then looked at me with a bit of inquiring eyes, without answering.

"Huh?" I raised my chin and stared at him.

He didn't speak, raised his hand, and took me into his arms again.The two of us quietly watched the ray of sunlight climb up little by little and touch the steps under our feet.

"Even if it's to lie to me? I don't want to." I sighed in a low voice, then pushed him away and said, "Forget it, my mouth is dry, give me some of your water."

Brother Qi Ling was also relieved to see that I was no longer entangled, and quickly took off the water bottle from the backpack and handed it to me.After I unscrewed it, I poured water on the lid of the pot and drank it slowly.When I was halfway through drinking, I looked up and saw that he was still staring at me, so I handed him the lid of the pot in my hand, pouted my mouth, and signaled him to drink.

Without hesitation, he picked it up and drank it down in one gulp.

When I saw him finish drinking the water, I couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and was about to get up.Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed me, and put his mouth directly on it, sealing my lips instantly.

"Woo..." Because I was too surprised and shocked, I struggled desperately, but I couldn't figure out what he wanted to do?I wanted to question, but I couldn't resist the entanglement, and the moment I opened my mouth, he lost his jaw. He pinched my lower jaw and forced all the water in his mouth into my throat. After making sure that I swallowed it all, he let go of his grip. my shackles.

"You..." I was so angry that I was half dead, but I didn't care about cursing, I quickly stuck my fingers into my throat, trying to force the water out.I retched a few times, but in vain.

Brother Qiling silently watched me toss and turn, then reached into my pocket and took out a white pill from it.Then he asked lightly, "Where did you get the anesthetic?"
