Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

At this time, Poyouping had already fixed the rope, beckoned us to go over, and looked down, there was indeed a gurgling river, which formed a wide pool when it flowed through here, and there seemed to be a hole for water under the stone wall, and there was a hole next to it. There was a small shoal of gravel created by the current, and we slipped along the rope and fell right on it.

I was happy to see the water and ran over to wash off the blood stains and tears on my face. I took a few sips along the way. I was so thirsty. The water was very sweet but a little cold.As soon as Poker Ping took off his shirt, he jumped down with a plop, which startled me.I stood up and asked Wu Xie, "Why is this guy here?"

Wu Xie spread his hands towards me and said, "Go find the way."

Yes, I almost forgot the current situation. The fire above is still burning at this time. Although the hole has not collapsed, the air is obviously much thinner, and there is also a layer of gray dust floating. My health is also not very good, I looked at the water surface, secretly anxious: "The water is so cold, I don't know if there is an undercurrent below, so it's better not to have any accidents."

Just as I was thinking wildly, Pokerfing stuck his head out of the water, shook his hair handsomely, and landed swiftly on the shore.

"How is it?" Wu Xie asked as he handed over his clothes.

"It's an underground river. There is a hole under the mountain wall to go out, but the temperature of the water below is very low and the current is very fast. Be careful." Poker Fase's tone was still so flat, but when he spoke, steam came out of his mouth.It seems that the water is really cold here.

Then they each took out a piece of rope from their backpacks, and the fat guy yelled, "It's safest to tie him with him, no matter how fast his mother's water is, it won't go anywhere."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at him, and said disdainfully, "You'll have to swim harder for my young master later, I can't drag you in the water."

Fat Brother chuckled, tied the other end around Wu Xie's waist and said, "Don't worry! Comrade Tianzhen, your fat man's body shape has bigger lungs than yours, so it won't drag you down."

I couldn't be happier listening to their conversation, because I don't know how to swim at all, or I don't know how to swim. I only took a few days of training courses in college and I haven't learned it well. I have forgotten the skills by now , and I should belong to the kind of person who has deep-sea phobia. I am not very keen on water. I only learned it for a few days, and I gave up before I learned the movements.

Poker-Face tied the other end of the rope around my waist at this moment. He glanced at my ugly face and said, "No matter what happens, you can't untie it, you will die."

"I... I don't want to trouble you!" I lowered my head and said something in a low voice, not daring to look at him.

I heard him sigh softly, and said half a word: "Don't be afraid when you get into the water, I'm here, the downstream is not very far, just hold your breath as much as you can." Then he patted me on the shoulder lightly.

At this moment, I really want to hug him and say loudly: "Da Tan, you are so understanding, you are really my best friend!"

Everything was ready, we got into the water slowly, the deeper we went, the more icy cold I felt, my cold teeth chattered, and finally I took a deep breath and dived, I couldn’t open my eyes in the water, basically Relying on the oil bottle to pull the traction in front, you only need to swim hard with your hands and feet. At first, it felt very relaxed. Gradually, the brain began to become dizzy due to lack of oxygen, and my stomach felt as if it was about to explode. Keep encouraging yourself, "Be patient! Poker bottle said that the downstream is not very far, and it will be there in a while."

After holding on for more than ten seconds, I felt that every second was extremely tormented, my brain seemed to explode, the rope around my waist was still pulling me forward and there was no sign of stopping, I... I took advantage of the With a little consciousness in his head, he began to untie the rope in a hurry. He didn't know how far ahead. I didn't want Poker Face to drag a corpse ashore. Without me, he could at least swim faster.

But Poker-Face seemed to have expected that I would untie the rope again, so he tied the end of the rope with a dead knot. I took out a knife, which I secretly hid just now. I have had enough of the disadvantage of not having a weapon on my body. This knife can be used for self-defense in an emergency, and it can also be used to kill myself when I have no choice. Of course I don’t want to die, but... But in this environment Who knows what will happen in the next second, I hope that even if I die, I will die more beautifully and with dignity.

I was about to lower the knife when I felt the tight rope around my waist loosen, and then the hand holding the knife was pulled aside, and my waist was tightly bound by a pair of powerful hands, and then...then there was a cold lips It stuck to my lips, and sent a mouthful of warm air into my mouth. My lungs that were on the verge of strike finally started to work again, supplying some oxygen to my brain, and my blank brain finally regained some consciousness. Reluctantly opening his eyes, he bumped into Pokerfing's dark pupils, his whole body felt numb as if he had been hit by an electric current.Uh...although it's life-saving, this...what's the matter?

I subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the strength in my waist did not relax. He took two more breaths for me, and then let go and stepped aside. Well, he calmly gestured for me to follow, and then swam to the front again, as if nothing had happened, and he was in a trance like a dream.

After swimming down for about 50 meters, the water flow suddenly became turbulent. I accidentally choked on two sips of water and felt a burning sensation in my lungs. Pulled it closer, lifted my chin, and dragged me out of the water. I collapsed on the ground weakly coughing and gasping for breath. Poker bottle patted my back, and my breathing was also a little short. It seems that I It did cost him a lot of stamina.

Fat Brother and Wu Xie came out of the water one step earlier than us, and were waiting anxiously on the shore. Seeing that we were all safe, they were relieved. Fat Brother shuddered and said: "The water is too cold, let Let's take a rest here!"

The three of us agreed and nodded.

Fat Brother cut some dry trees and vines from the mountain wall, and lit them with a waterproof lighter. Only when I saw the fire light did I really feel alive, and my consciousness gradually recovered, and I was shivering with cold.

When Wu Xie and Poker-Face carried me to the edge of the fire, I was exhausted. I was tired and hungry, and my physical strength was severely overdrawn. Wake up, maybe I have already left here and returned to Hangzhou, back to the familiar civilized society, maybe this is just a dream, I have suffered too much, and I don’t want to continue.

I was so groggy that I don’t know how long I slept, but I finally woke up from hunger. To be precise, I was awakened by the smell of instant noodles cooked by the fat brother. I don’t know when I ate hot food last time. I have been eagerly looking forward to a bowl of rich, salty, light and suitable hot soup for a long time. I rubbed my eyes and saw that the fat brother next to me was already sleeping and snoring loudly. Wu Xie sat by the fire and lit a cigarette.

I walked over gently and said hello. He brought me a bowl of noodles and said, "Zilin, eat more. You have a fever and have been asleep for several hours."

"Well," I was not polite, and started to eat on my own.

"Do you feel better now?" Wu Xie asked with concern.

"It's much better, I'm just hungry." I smiled shyly at him.

He also smiled and said, "Eat slowly, there are more!"

Wu Xie has a really good personality, good tempered and patient, he is also very kind to me, he treats me like a younger sister sincerely, I think of the incident in the water, I don’t know if he saw it, I feel guilty for a while, I really want to talk to him now He explained clearly, but he didn't know how to speak, and his heart was tangled like a mess. At this time, I saw that although he was smoking a cigarette, he didn't move, his eyelids barely opened, and he looked sleepy.

I said, "Go to bed! I've had enough sleep, I'll watch over."

He hesitated for a while, I didn't wait for him to refuse, I pushed him aside, he shook his head helplessly, found a stone to lean on, and then snored softly.

I looked at the three men sleeping soundly on the ground, and felt warm in my heart. You have always protected me, now let me protect you!Even if it's such a trivial way, even if it's such a moment without danger, I will feel better in my heart, at least I have done something for you.

His eyes immediately stopped on Poker Face, he was expressionless even when he fell asleep, this guy hid his emotions too deeply, I couldn't understand what he was thinking at all, thinking of what happened in the water, I couldn't help but blushed , it must be considered that he took the initiative to kiss me!No, no, no...that was someone trying to save your life. I finally found an excuse that he liked me, and immediately found a reason to overthrow it.

I stood up, took a torch, and turned around to distract myself. The environment here is similar to the previous cave. The material of the stone is the same as the previous cave. There are also many tree stems and trees hanging on the mountain wall. The mountain vines seem to be the same underground root system in the mountain range. What Poker Fing said is correct, we really didn't swim very far, so is this the downstream of King Li's tomb?Or we haven't left the tomb of King Li at all, I feel a little hairy thinking of this, the scale of the construction of the ancient emperor's tomb is too amazing.

Going forward, I felt a cool wind blowing out. I pulled out the roots of the tree and saw that there was a huge hole in the stone wall inside. It was so dark that I didn’t know where it went. There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and the conditioned reflex shrunk back. When I didn't pay attention, I was caught by a tree stem on the ground, fell a lot, and threw the torch in my hand directly, and I was about to roll into the hole In the middle of the day, the clothes were suddenly grabbed, and I turned around in shock and saw that it was Poker Bottle.

He didn't know when he woke up, and he followed me, but I didn't notice it at all. He helped me stand up, touched my forehead, and then gave me a helpless look. I understand that expression, which means sick Just started to die again.

At this time, there was a sudden "creaking" sound in the cave, and we poked our heads in to have a look, and couldn't help being shocked, only to see that the torch that was just thrown in fell into the mud on the ground.Countless palm-sized black mud balls drilled out of it. Feeling the heat of the torches, they scrambled to lean on them like crazy, and the flames on them were extinguished in a short while.
