The Dark Game of Tomb Raiders Notes

I followed the stream, eating wild fruits and drinking mountain springs for a living. After struggling for dozens of days in the deep mountains and old forests, I finally saw smoke rising from the mountainside in the distance one morning.Excitedly, I quickened my pace, and finally saw a small village hidden in the mountains in the evening.

After I entered the village, I saw a peasant woman feeding chickens in front of the door, so I hurried forward and said, "Mother, can you give me some water?"

Seeing that my clothes were in tatters and I could no longer cover my body, the peasant woman hurriedly sprinkled the corn in her hand and let the chickens peck at it.Then he opened the gate of the fence and said to me, "Whose child is this? How did you do this?"

I sighed and said that the mine suddenly collapsed, and I narrowly escaped and got lost in the jungle.The peasant woman was very sympathetic, and hurriedly let me into the back room, and brought me a big ladle of water.After thanking me, I gulped and drank the water.When I returned the ladle to the peasant woman, she told me to wait a little longer, then went to the back room, and after a while, she took out a set of old clothes, "Son, put it on."

After thanking and thanking, I took off my clothes, which had been scratched by the thorns, and put on this old but clean clothes.

Seeing that I had changed my clothes, the peasant woman asked me if I had a place to go. I lied and said that I could go back to my hometown in Hunan.The peasant woman nodded and signaled me to rest for one night before leaving.But I always felt that it was dangerous to stay, so I declined her kindness.

Just when I was about to say goodbye, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Mom, we're back."

The peasant woman took me to the door, and saw two men coming here with hoes on their shoulders.

The two were a little puzzled when they saw me, so I had to tell the story of the mine accident again.The two of them seemed to have no doubts, and tried their best to keep me for a night.I couldn't excuse it, so I had to stay.

That night, the peasant woman's son and I played on the floor.I couldn't fall asleep anyway, and at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the peasant woman's son went out to urinate, and I got up too.I was sitting in the yard, looking up at the sky full of stars, and the previous scenes kept replaying in my mind.I was surprised to find that the most profound memory of this period of mine turned out to be the man's smile...

That smile gave me a strange feeling that was both strange and familiar...

I don't think I'll ever see him again...

"Hey, what are you thinking? Don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Suddenly a hand patted my shoulder.I was slightly startled, and then realized that this was the son of the peasant woman.He probably thought it was strange to see me sitting in the yard after urinating.

I shook my head and said, "Nothing..."

"Are you thinking about women?" The farmer's son laughed.He is about the same age as me, and should be married if conditions permit.But the place is remote, and his family is not rich, so it may not be easy to find a wife.

I smiled. He probably thought I was acquiescing, so he sat down and chatted with me about his sweetheart in the neighboring village. He only said that he would have a wife after selling the harvested grain this autumn.

Looking at his appearance, I suddenly thought of Fatty. I don't know what happened to Fatty after the mine disaster happened?I was a little confused and a little guilty in my heart. I didn't even know how I escaped from that mine?

After talking for a while, he said that he had to work tomorrow and went back to sleep by himself, and I just sat in the yard all night like that.

The next day, I took a little dry food given to me by the peasant woman and set out on the road.In this way, I walked while doing odd jobs, and finally found my adoptive father's hometown in Guangnan, a place called Bamei.

If my adoptive father had not described this place to me in detail before his death, it would be really impossible for outsiders to find this place.This is the place described in the vivid "Peach Blossom Spring".Not to mention the extremely secretive location, you really need a raft to get in.

When I found the entrance of the cave, I was a little hesitant. I heard that my adoptive father’s father, who can also be regarded as my grandfather, was a Han Chinese. He found this place by accident and stayed after entering.After he got married and had children, he still seemed to miss the outside world, so he told his adoptive father about the outside world.But the adoptive father secretly left home after yearning for it.He hasn't come back for more than 20 years. He doesn't know if his grandparents are still there, and he doesn't know if they will forgive him if they are still here...

Just when I was hesitating whether to pretend to find this place by accident or go in as a adoptive father and son, I suddenly heard a dog barking, and I looked back in shock, only to see a dog the size of a calf rushing towards me.I was out of my wits, ran a few steps forward desperately, and then jumped off the small river flowing through the cave.I swam desperately in the river, but I didn't expect that the big dog that was swimming like a dog was faster than me. It quickly caught up with me. I only felt a pain in my arm, and I choked on water in the confusion. Then I heard a whistle and I felt a release in my arm.

I struggled to lift my eyes and looked towards the shore, only to see a hale and hearty old man dressed as a child looking at me from the shore.Then I heard another whistle, and I just felt the dog's teeth bite my arm again.Just when I was about to struggle, the old man's voice came: "Don't be afraid, I'm asking the big blackie to pull you up, don't move around."

After I heard this, I didn't dare to struggle anymore, and the dog really pulled me to the shore with my arm in its mouth.I climbed up in embarrassment, and fell down when my eyes were dark...

***

When I woke up, I only felt a little sore in my body, and what I smelled in my nostrils was a faint fragrance of flowers.I slowly opened my eyes, only to see that I was in a wooden house with extremely simple and clean furnishings.I turned over and sat up, only to see that my arms had been bandaged.

At this moment, a black figure broke into my eyes, and I almost jumped up in fright. It turned out to be the big black dog like a calf.

"Heizi!!" At this moment I heard the old man's voice, and then the old man entered the house.

He stepped forward to look at my injury and sat down, "Who are you? How did you come here?"

I turned around in my mind a few times. This is the residence of Tongren (Zhuang nationality), and there are very few people who can speak Chinese.Moreover, his figure and appearance were very similar to what my adoptive father told me, and I burst into tears.Then I talked about what I had experienced in these years with snot and tears, but I didn't mention my adoptive father's speculation about my life experience, only that I was an abandoned baby.

The old man didn't interrupt, and after listening to me quietly, he asked me to lie down and rest.

After I lay down obediently, I saw the old man walking away with the black dog.

I don't know why, but I fell asleep peacefully.When I woke up, I saw the old man and an old woman dressed as a child sitting in the room.I hurriedly struggled to get up, knelt down to thank them for their life-saving grace.

The old man and the old woman helped me up and said: "You can call us grandparents from now on."

I knew they recognized my identity, so I called them obediently: "Grandpa, grandma..."

I stayed in this paradise-like place, and my grandparents treated me very well.In addition to doing farm work, I also opened a school to teach the children here to learn Chinese and Chinese culture.Although there are only three students, I still enjoy it...

Five years have passed, just when I thought my life in this paradise would continue, on this day my grandfather called me into the house and said that there was something he wanted to show me...
