Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper
Chapter 53 The Bald Professor
where am iIt's so dark and cold around, isn't that quiet and suffocating atmosphere just like the ancient tombs in Yunnan?
There was a sudden "chuck" in the darkness, a cluster of small flames ignited, and the light reflected on a handsome and familiar face, which was Poker Fase's expressionless face.
"What are you doing back again?" I blurted out.
But he didn't seem to hear or answer, and his eyes were still staring at the flames in front of him in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.
"Idiot, why don't you turn off the fire if you think about it? A waste of resources" I cursed in my heart, and I looked at myself. Because the light was too dark, I couldn't see where I was hiding, but I was very close to him. Could it be that the soul is out of the body because of missing it too much?I touched it with my hands, and there were hard stone walls around me. The touch felt familiar. I was about to get up to see what happened, when suddenly I saw two green lights like ghosts floating behind and above Poker Bottle. close……
"Snake...big snake" The hairs on my whole body stood on end immediately. After such a long time, those cold eyes still brought me indescribable fear, "Run, Poor oil bottle... run" at this moment I found that my throat seemed to be blocked, and I couldn't make any sound.
"What's going on? What's going on?" I panicked and wanted to stand up, only to find that I was trapped in the stone and couldn't move. The oil bottle in front of me seemed to be separated by a layer of glass. Seeing the two ghost lights behind him getting closer and closer, they finally hung directly above his head and stopped...
"Stuffy oil bottle, go away..." I yelled out this sentence with all my strength, and then I felt that the force pressing on my chest disappeared. I sat up suddenly, took two quick breaths, and saw Surrounding me, I found myself lying on the bed in the room, surrounded by Fat Brother Wu Xie and Xiao Rong, all looking at me in surprise.
"Okay, she's awake, you can go now!" It was Brother Fat who spoke, and he tried to push Xiao Rong out of the room with a very unfriendly tone.
"Fat... Fat brother, wait a minute! What's wrong with me?" My voice was like the sound of tearing a rag, which was extremely unpleasant.
The fat guy turned around and pointed at Xiao Rong: "This kid said that you fainted in the judo gym. You found Wu Xie's number from your mobile phone and asked him to pick you up. Wu Xie called me again. Girl, no I said you, why did you hang out with him once Poker Bottle left?"
Wu Xie glared at Fat Brother, and interrupted: "Fatty, don't talk nonsense, Zi Lin is not that kind of girl."
I pressed my temple that was still throbbing and thought: "It was just a chance encounter! And as soon as Poker Ping left, I would hang out with him, and I could hang out with him if Poker Ping didn't leave. Ping is not mine, why should I care about his feelings, he can leave without saying a word." Thinking of this, I snorted angrily.
"Oh, you're still reasonable, what are you humming, you boy, hurry up and leave, I'm upset when I see you." The fat brother first scolded me a few words, and then started to push Xiao Rong again.
Although Fat Brother is straight-tempered, it is quite abnormal for him to hate Xiao Rong so much. I patiently said, "Fat Brother, don't be like this! We just met in the judo gym and chatted casually." Without waiting for his answer Then he turned his head and smiled apologetically at senior Xiao Rong: "Thank you, senior, I may be too tired today, but I'm fine now, I'll visit you another day to thank you."
Xiao Rong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled generously and nodded at me, then turned around and left.
As soon as he left, I seemed to have been drained of all my strength, leaning against the wall, Wu Xie squatted in front of me, and asked, "How do you feel?"
I shook my head feebly and said, "I feel very bad. I have fainted several times since I came back from Yunnan. I really hate being so weak. Besides... I just dreamed that Pokerfinger seemed to be in danger."
Wu Xie and Fat Brother both turned ugly when they heard this, they glanced at each other, then Wu Xie patted my hand and said: "It's just a nightmare, don't be too nervous, and your body before You haven't fully recovered, and you've been too physically exhausted during this time, so you need to take good care of yourself, Fatty and I will take care of you."
"Wu Xie... can you tell me honestly, Bo... will Boyouping come back?" I asked suddenly.
"Sister, you're starting to think wildly again! Come on, eat something first, let's talk after eating." After speaking, he put a small bowl of porridge in front of me.
I took a few mouthfuls depressedly, frowned, and raised my head to ask Fat Brother, "What's mixed with this, it feels so bitter."
"You can eat more, fat brother will not harm you." Fat brother rolled his eyes at me, he seemed to be a little angry, he had feelings for me because of Xiao Rong, how could I dare to talk about him like this, just go ahead and pick it up After a few mouthfuls, he simply poured it all into his mouth, like drinking bitter gourd soup. He was really convinced that he could cook porridge with such a taste. It seems that life will be difficult in the future.
Seeing my thoughtful look, Wu Xie smiled, and said, "Take a good rest, we'll be outside, call us if you need anything."
I wanted to ask the two of them to chat with me for a while, but for some reason, my eyelids were fighting up and down, so I could only lie down obediently and fell asleep.
In the next few days, Fat Brother and Wu Xie really seemed to be okay, they didn’t go back to the store, and stayed here every day, but even if they left on the way, I didn’t know, because 24 hours a day, I almost 22 hours a day. They are all in a state of falling asleep. It is said that falling asleep is more like a state of coma. The remaining two hours are either eating or going to the toilet, and the mind is becoming more and more chaotic. The feeling that the body is becoming weaker and weaker.
At this time, I suddenly suspected that I had an incurable disease, and I was afraid that I was about to die.But Wu Xie and Fat Brother are two very tight-lipped people, if they don't want to die without knowing why, they can only use hunger strike to force them to try.
"Sister, we really can't talk about it, you should eat!" Fat brother coaxed me to eat with a bowl of porridge.
I shook my head and turned it to the side.
"Zi Lin, you drink the porridge first, and I'll tell you later." Wu Xie was forced by me to look helpless.
"No, let me tell you first, as long as I drink this stuff in the past few days, I will fall asleep." I stared at him and said weakly.
He sighed, and pulled the fat brother out of the room, probably to discuss countermeasures, I felt a little relieved, the first battle was a small victory, it seems that this trick is effective, let's see how long the two of them can keep their mouths stubborn.
Normally, I am sick like this, shouldn't they take me to the hospital for treatment?Why stay at home? Isn’t this the feeling of having an incurable disease and waiting to die, “Don’t they really hate me? Let me fend for myself when I’m not at home? What? If they hate you, then let me go I don’t care about business, I come here to accompany you every day, shit, I have no conscience, why is that? Why?” These two voices in my heart were arguing inside, and the quarrel made me have a splitting headache.
After waiting for a long time, neither of them came in again. I struggled to get up and opened the door to see that they were playing cards and fighting the landlord leisurely on the sofa, as if they had forgotten what happened just now. I was so angry that my lungs almost exploded. He slammed the door shut again with a "bang".
"Forget it, just let me starve to death!" Thinking like this angrily, then fell asleep again in a daze.
I don't know how long I slept, and suddenly a cold liquid was poured into my mouth. Is someone feeding me water?I opened my eyes sleepily, and found that Wu Xie was helping me to drink a black unknown liquid.
"What are you doing?" I panicked, and pushed the bowl away, only to find a fat middle-aged man standing by the bed, with a greasy face and a big belly, and his head was almost bald. The remaining few hairs are barely attached to the top of the head, as if struggling to support the scene.
"You... who are you?" I saw that he was obviously a little surprised.
"Just call him Professor Bald." Fat Brother interrupted abruptly.
The visitor gave Fat Brother a displeased look, then turned his head to look at me, and immediately said with a pleasant face, "Hello! My surname is Zhang, Zhang of the octopus, known as the divine doctor." He held out his hand for a handshake.
"Oh, hello." I reached out and shook his hand politely.
"Zi Lin, don't worry, this bald... It's not Professor Zhang who specially treats your strange disease. Look, he specially prepared this medicine for you. Now you can drink it with confidence!" Wu Xie took it again. I put the bowl close to my mouth, I stepped forward and smelled it...it didn't look like medicine, it didn't smell like medicine at all, I tasted it again, it was no different from water, is it really medicine?I stared at Professor Zhang suspiciously again, my face full of doubts.
"Miss Zhang, don't worry drink it! Guaranteed to cure the disease! This is a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors. I usually don't treat people who are not destined!"
This man does not know where the dialect accent is, and he speaks very fast. If you don’t listen carefully, it’s really hard to understand what he is talking about. I took a closer look at him and felt that this guy is really unreliable. Very much like a charlatan.
I glanced at Wu Xie and cast a wink, meaning to ask: "Where did you find this guy, can you do it?"
Wu Xie first smiled inexplicably, then nodded.
Now that he approved it, I didn't have any hesitation. I picked up the bowl and drank the remaining black liquid in one gulp. If it wasn't for the color, it would really be similar to water.
When Professor Zhang watched me finish drinking, he smiled at me and said, "Oh, Ms. Zhang, you just need to drink the medicine two or three times and you'll be fine. At that time, you can't pay less."
"Remuneration?" I looked at Fat Brother in confusion.
Fat brother waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, seeing that we live in such a big mansion, it will cost you a little money, you treat me seriously, and there will be rewards for the good treatment. You're endless." After speaking, he gave the professor a slightly threatening look.
Wu Xie pursed her lips and smiled, stood up, and said, "Professor, let's let the patient rest, this way please." After they finished speaking, they all walked out of the room, leaving me lying quietly, feeling the pain in my body after taking the medicine. Variety.
Needless to say, this black liquid may be called medicine. It is a little magical. There was no reaction when I first drank it. Now the stomach becomes cool and cool, and then it slowly spreads to all parts of the body. His limbs also gained some strength, this guy is really beyond his appearance!Immediately, I had some respect for this Professor Zhang, and I was also curious about where Fat Brother and Wu Xie invited this god.
By dinner time, I was able to get out of bed and move freely without any effort, and I couldn't believe how fast I recovered. Fat Brother and Wu Xie seemed to be very surprised, and couldn't stop thanking Professor Zhang.
That Professor Zhang was not too polite, he plucked a few hairs on his head to the other side freely, and said with a smile: "You are welcome, my title of divine doctor is not in vain, and besides, Miss Zhang, you are a lucky person with a natural appearance. Something will happen."
Although this person is not humble, the second half of the sentence still makes people feel quite comfortable. I also nodded with a smile, and then asked: "What is my disease? cure?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished asking the question, his face darkened, he waved his hand at me and said, "No comment, but I can tell you that you will be lucky if you meet me, you won't die!"
Who is this!The patient doesn't even have the right to know what's wrong with him. I'm very depressed, but now that my life is in his hands, I don't dare to quarrel with him, so I can only curl my lips and look at Fat Brother and Wu Xie.
Unexpectedly, the two of them not only didn't mean to help me by the side, but also held back a smirk, a look of watching a good show, who are these people!I hummed unhappily, found an excuse and went back to my room.
After drinking the last bowl of medicine the next day, I already felt very good, even better than before I fell ill. Both the energy and the strength of the whole body are good. I really doubt that his medicine contains morphine or something. agent.
That Professor Zhang seemed to be staying here last night. He ate breakfast slowly, took my pulse, and said with a smile, "Congratulations! You're all fine now."
"Really? Are you sure it's all cured?" I asked in disbelief.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, I guarantee that my body is better than ever before." After speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand again, his expression became complicated.
This guy, are you going to shake my hand and say goodbye?I politely reached out and shook hands with him.After holding it and about to release it, he suddenly squeezed my hand hard, which made me frowned in pain. He panicked and immediately let go, and then said something inexplicable coldly: "Life is precious." , no matter what time you have to work hard to live."
I was taken aback by these words, and I don’t know if it was an illusion. At this moment, I suddenly felt an inexplicable helplessness in Professor Zhang’s eyes, and this kind of helplessness was so familiar, which made me fall into a deep feeling for another person. Thoughts.
When I realized that Professor Zhang had left, I chased him out and shouted, "Professor Zhang, I haven't paid you yet!"
There was no sign of him in the empty space outside the door.
The author has something to say:
I really like this bald professor!
There was a sudden "chuck" in the darkness, a cluster of small flames ignited, and the light reflected on a handsome and familiar face, which was Poker Fase's expressionless face.
"What are you doing back again?" I blurted out.
But he didn't seem to hear or answer, and his eyes were still staring at the flames in front of him in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.
"Idiot, why don't you turn off the fire if you think about it? A waste of resources" I cursed in my heart, and I looked at myself. Because the light was too dark, I couldn't see where I was hiding, but I was very close to him. Could it be that the soul is out of the body because of missing it too much?I touched it with my hands, and there were hard stone walls around me. The touch felt familiar. I was about to get up to see what happened, when suddenly I saw two green lights like ghosts floating behind and above Poker Bottle. close……

"What's going on? What's going on?" I panicked and wanted to stand up, only to find that I was trapped in the stone and couldn't move. The oil bottle in front of me seemed to be separated by a layer of glass. Seeing the two ghost lights behind him getting closer and closer, they finally hung directly above his head and stopped...
"Stuffy oil bottle, go away..." I yelled out this sentence with all my strength, and then I felt that the force pressing on my chest disappeared. I sat up suddenly, took two quick breaths, and saw Surrounding me, I found myself lying on the bed in the room, surrounded by Fat Brother Wu Xie and Xiao Rong, all looking at me in surprise.
