Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"Girl, what are you thinking? I'm talking about it here alone."

The second uncle appeared like that kind of quietly, which shocked me a lot.

I sneaked a blank look at him, and found that he seemed to have not slept all night. Apart from dark circles, his eyes were also bloodshot. After all, he was too old to stay up all night, but his spirit still looked good, not at all sluggish. This is the enterprise The strength of the family.

I smiled and said, "Nothing."

I thought, how can I let you know how much I am thinking about the value of this place?How many years will I have to struggle to live in such a shameful thing.

"Hehe, you don't have to struggle for so many years! Just marry us Xiaoxie." The second uncle said with a smile and a serious face.

I suddenly looked up at him, thinking: "Damn, this old man can read minds?" Then I laughed and waved my hands and said, "Second uncle, don't make fun of me, how is it possible!"

"How can it be impossible? Xiao Xie is already old and not yet married. Everyone in the family is worried about him. You should also be single. I think you have some emotional foundation. It is not difficult to be together. You will be happy in the future .I like you guys!" He patted my hand in a serious manner as he spoke, as if to encourage me.

I suddenly felt a black thread in my head, what is this all about!This old man is messing around with mandarin ducks, and besides, I have someone in my heart, how could I still be with Wu Xie, and how we will meet in the future, I am embarrassed to think about it.I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"That's the deal. I'll see Xiao Xie later and tell him that you don't need to worry about it! Second Uncle, I liked you the first time I saw you. I can't go wrong choosing you as my niece and daughter-in-law. Wu Xie That child is just like his father, after marriage, he must be strictly controlled by his wife, and then these will all be yours, so your dreams will come true!" At this time, the second uncle had restrained his smile, and his expression had already changed. Deep and elusive.

"Second uncle... I didn't mean that, I didn't want to... Don't get me wrong." I panicked and waved my hands to explain.

"I understand, take a good rest at night, and we will set off tomorrow." Before I finished speaking, I got up and left.

"Let's go? Where are you going? Are you looking for them?" Thinking of this, I almost jumped up with joy.

But seeing the shadow behind him getting longer and longer, he felt uncomfortable again. His words just now obviously had other meanings. He seemed to want to compensate the Zhang family in another way, because he said before that the Wu family owed the Zhang family Yes, if this is the case, he should be compensated by Boyouping, after all, he has guarded the bronze gate for Wu Xie for ten years, and in these ten years, Wu Xie has also paid a lot to get rid of it and fight against its forces The price, who owes whom, whether it is fair or not, and who can figure it out!

By dinner time, my second uncle hadn’t come back yet, so I went to bed early after eating alone, but I tossed and turned in bed and couldn’t fall asleep. Thinking of leaving tomorrow, I felt a little nervous and excited, and it had been three months since they left. Oh my god, those three guys must have arrived in Qinghai early, and it may not be so easy for us to catch up with their itinerary. After all, we have limited clues and the route is unfamiliar. I don't know who the second uncle is. , Has anyone been there before? If you can give clear pointers, it will save you a little trouble.

At this time, that handsome face appeared in my mind, long time no see, how are you?The babbling twilight that night, I can't remember your appearance anymore!

How should I greet you if I see you again?Should I be at peace?Or an intimate handshake?I no longer know where I am in your heart, and I have never seen your heart clearly.For example, you always leave inexplicably, without any sign or sound.The words and phrases in the past are no longer enough to maintain, this uneasy feeling, the humbleness of my love, may not be fair in the end!If so, it is fate, and I have no regrets!

Think about it, if there is someone in the world who is the most difficult to get along with and the most difficult to fall in love with, it must be you, so boring!I am separated from your world by an insoluble iceberg, I smiled helplessly, then covered my head with the quilt, trying to calm myself down and sleep well.

Early the next morning, I got up and tidied up. When I went downstairs, the second uncle had already finished his breakfast. I was most afraid of letting people wait for me. Besides, I was an elder, so I took two buns and stuffed them in the bag to prepare for the journey. That's it, there is a sturdy Land Rover Range Rover parked outside the door, and the price and configuration are at least 300 million.

Is this the rhythm of a self-driving tour?I can't help but whisper in my heart.

The second uncle seemed to see through my thoughts again, and explained: "Don't worry, that kid Wu Xie is reluctant to buy such a good car, we will definitely catch up with them."

I curled my lips, thinking that the old man seemed to be able to read minds, and then asked modestly: "Second Uncle, are you so sure that Wu Xie and the others drove there too? And why is Wu Xie so frugal? It stands to reason that he With such a big net worth, but there is no fault of the rich second generation at all?"

"Hehe, do you think I'm really old? This kid can't escape my eyes! As for why he is so frugal, he probably saved money to marry a wife! Isn't this kind of quality very good, don't you think? "After speaking, he smiled meaningfully at me, and then greeted me to get in the car.

No, I still didn’t give up, I suddenly got goosebumps, it seems that it’s better to see Wu Xie explain it to him in person later, so that he won’t misunderstand and think it’s me who confused his second uncle.

After the door was slammed shut, the car started to drive fast. I looked at my second uncle who was sitting in the back row with me. He seemed very reluctant to leave. The car had already driven a long way. Looking back at the house, at this moment, the nostalgia complex that only the old man has is evident on his face. He is no longer a big entrepreneur in the shopping mall, but just an ordinary person who longs to live an ordinary life. Suddenly regretted, regretted coming to him, regretted breaking his originally comfortable and peaceful life.

"I'm sorry, Second Uncle." I lowered my head and said softly.

"Silly girl, what are you sorry for? He is my only hope. I can't just watch him take risks and ignore him." The second uncle sighed heavily, then closed his eyes to rest his mind, and stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't say anything more. The two buns in my hand were already cold, and I didn't dare to eat them. I was afraid that the smell would make people uncomfortable, so I had to look around. When I looked up, I suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at me expressionlessly. Look, I couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that the driver who was driving in front was looking at me through the central rearview mirror.

"Please, drive your car well!" I cursed inwardly, and gave him an unceremonious glance in the mirror, he saw it right away, and grinned at me in embarrassment. Smiling with him, he turned his head, moved his position aloofly, and turned his head out of the window to look at the scenery.

The car drove out of the villas all the way, and just arrived at the fork outside, there were already five or six cars of the same model parked there, looking mighty and imposing.

I was a little bit tongue-tied, and couldn't help asking my second uncle: "With such a big lineup, will it be too conspicuous?"

The second uncle shook his head slowly and said, "Don't worry, you'll know the place when you get there. From now on, we're just ordinary donkey friends, just going on an adventure." Before he finished speaking, a young man outside the car Over forty years old, quite a temperamental woman opened the door of the front passenger seat and sat in.

After she greeted the second uncle politely, she nodded to me again.

The second uncle slightly raised his head and introduced. This is the dumb sister. She used to work at the entrance of the third uncle Wu Xie. The driver was called Hei Laoqi, who was my driver and bodyguard for many years. They said, this is Xiaoxie's friend, Zhang Zilin, a writer, because he is worried about Xiaoxie and loves to explore, so he brought her to help this time.After speaking, he looked at me appreciatively.

Dumb sister is a woman who has seen the world, and her eyes are naturally exquisite. She gave me a complicated look, then smiled at me friendly and said, "You can just call me dumb sister." According to her age, she is well-maintained, has a capable temperament, and has the aura of a typical business woman, but without losing the soft and beautiful characteristics of a mature woman.

I nodded and looked at the driver again. He was about thirty years old, probably because of his dark appearance, so he got the name Hei Laoqi, right?Thinking of the rudeness in the car just now, I couldn't help but feel very embarrassed, I took the initiative to smile at him, and shouted: "Seventh brother."

"Hey." He grinned cheerfully in response, looking very satisfied, maybe he felt quite proud of the young master's friends being so polite to him!

After we all greeted each other, the second uncle seemed to have already issued an order impatiently, telling everyone to set off.

A group of cars left in the dust, and we basically didn't stop too much from the Lianhuo Expressway to the Beijing-Tibet Expressway except for replenishment and rest.

There were about twenty people in our group, and there were seven cars in total, two of which were loaded with equipment. Although the second uncle looked like a Confucian businessman, he organized underground work and was quite familiar with it. Today, such a team of people was pulled up. The equipment looks quite elegant, some of which are all military equipment. It seems that the background of the Wu family is strong, and with today's situation, it is obviously not what it looks like. So simple.

When I arrived in Golmud City, the logo of the donkey team was pasted on the outside of the car, and a small red flag was stuck on the roof. The outfit looked good. The second uncle got a lot of documents from somewhere, and encountered security checks along the way. , did not encounter any trouble, unimpeded.We arrived in Golmud City smoothly and rested there for one night.

We left the city early the next morning.Uncle Er didn’t know where he invited a local guide, and he found out about an inaccessible road called the Chaerhan Highway, and I only heard about the Chaerhan Salt Lake, which is in the south of the Qaidam Basin. Due to our equipment They are all first-class imported goods. Even if they enter the barren Qaidam Basin, the signal is still full, and it is not difficult to find the way.

Soon we found the Chaerhan Highway. Second Uncle took out a hand-drawn map from his pocket. The handwriting looked a bit old, not like a new one. I leaned over curiously and asked him: "Second Uncle , how do you have a map here?"

He didn't raise his head, just frowned slightly, and said simply in a low voice, "Xiaoxie gave it to me."

I saw that his expression was weird, so it was inconvenient to ask further. Wu Xie and the others came here ten years ago. I heard that many people died during that mission. It is impossible for the second uncle to know about this. It is normal to have some information on hand. .

Although there are few cars on the Chaerhan Highway, it can be regarded as a second-grade asphalt road. The road is very flat, and it feels like it goes straight to the sky. After driving for a long time, it is easy to speed and get tired, so Hei Laoqi has been following the dumb Sister switched to driving. Along the way, apart from the occasional chatter between me and Hei Laoqi, Ms. Dumb spoke the least. She was really a Mute Ms. Second Uncle seemed to have something on her mind, and she was often silent, with a suspicious expression on her face. Don't dare to bother him too much.

There are very few cars passing by, which makes our team feel more conspicuous, and the scenery outside the window has gradually become desolate. Except for patches of Populus euphratica forest, it is weathered sand and gravel. Since it is already autumn, we have missed the best tourist season. , the weather became extremely bad, and the dumb sister seemed to know some medical skills. Once on the plateau, she asked the men to stop smoking and drinking, and then took out some American ginseng for everyone to take.

Some people in the team with poor physique had altitude sickness one after another. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the temperature dropped six degrees for every 1000 meters above sea level. The sunshine hours during the day were very long and the radiation was very strong. We all put on protective clothing. Wearing protective goggles, although the second uncle is fully equipped, the power of human beings in front of nature is still very small.

After driving for a day, the asphalt was planted, and we walked around the ground again and again, until it was dark before we found a place. It was a dilapidated mound. I don’t know how long the village has been deserted. Anyway, it looks lifeless. It seemed impossible that anyone still lived in it.

Is this the village called "Lancuo"?
