Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 146 The Second Old Photo ([-])

Beijing, Mengjia Villa.

It has been more than three months since I came back from Golmud, and my younger brother has been "living together" with Mengli for almost two months.

In the past two months, Mengli would more or less mention the past with his little brother in order to help him recover his memory.

"Brother, do you still remember the story I told you?" Meng Li looked at the little brother who was sitting on the opposite sofa in a daze, and suddenly said.

The little brother turned his head: "...What story?"

Meng Li, who had already expected that her little brother had forgotten, smiled indifferently, and told the story she told in Yunding Tiangong: "This story is related to two families, and these two families have feuds in the past. , the people of the two families can’t escape the fate they are destined to bear, it’s very inexplicable, but in the final analysis, it’s just because of a secret.”

"..." The little brother didn't express his opinion, but just listened quietly.

"One family has guarded a secret for generations, and the ancestor of another family accidentally learned of all this, but he wanted to reveal this secret, but he was helpless that the family's power was huge and intricate, so that person secretly hid his power , cultivate and grow, and have always been secretly fighting against that family. To put it bluntly, one wants to protect, and the other wants to uncover, which has become a generational incompatibility." Mengli said Then, he glanced at the little brother secretly, his expression seemed indifferent, but in fact his heart was turbulent.

"If you want to reveal it, you have to destroy it, if you want to protect it, you have to clear it..." Mengli paused, then continued, "The two families started to act independently because of their own responsibilities and missions. But time As it grows, more and more people or things are involved..."

Mengli's voice stopped, and the story ended.

"Last time I said 'the story has no end, it continues', this time I want to tell you that these two families are the Zhang family and the Wang family, and our story is the continuation of this story..." Meng Li sipped He pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Do you... have any ideas?"

The little brother looked at her silently, then frowned slightly: "Why do you know these things?"

He finally asked the question he had been burying in his heart.

"Because the Limeng Clan is another group that guards the secret of longevity, we have been paying attention to the dynamics of your two families..."

"..."

The two were speechless.

In the end, it was Mengli who broke the heavy atmosphere: "Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

The little brother closed his eyes, suppressed the complex emotions in his eyes, seemed to be thinking, and said after a long time: "I want to go for a walk."

"Walk? Do you want to go to the places I mentioned and find your own memories?" Although she was asking him, Mengli said with certainty.

The little brother nodded, and said calmly: "Well, I think of the places you mentioned, Changsha, Hangzhou, Shandong, and see if I can remember anything."

There was a "thud" in Mengli's heart, which was the last thing she wanted to hear - he wanted to remember something.Now his mind is basically blank, his past is a huge puzzle, but the bigger the puzzle, the less torture it will be to people.However, if his memory begins to recover during his travels, the emotional fragments that emerge in his mind are extremely tempting to empty people, and every little hint will become a variety of threads, making him painfully.

For people who have lost their memory, the whole purpose of life should be to find their past.This point cannot be avoided no matter what, but she really doesn't want him to go down that old path again.That road was too bitter, too painful...

The little brother saw her face change, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Mengli closed her eyes, seemed to be struggling, after a long time, seemed to compromise, and smiled helplessly: "Let's go to Banai..."

Hangzhou West Lake, Xiling Yinshe.

Before Wu Xie and the fat man parted ways, please ask the fat man to check the background of the little brother, no, the two are talking on the phone.

"Fatty, didn't you say last time that you had a way to know this little brother's background, why didn't there be any news later?" Wu Xie asked.

"Don't mention it, it's disgusting to talk about." The fat man replied, "You fat man, my plan at the time was to ask those people who kidnapped lamas. It was widely known that they were middlemen. Contacted, there must have been some information left in the lama's place. We can start with this."

As soon as Wu Xie heard that this was a good idea, why did she feel disgusted?

Only the fat man continued: "I didn't expect that all of these people would shake their heads and say nothing. You said that what these people usually do is pimping. Why are you pretending to be a sage at this time?"

Wu Xie said "oh", that's the way it is, there are rules and regulations, so we can't blame them.People like them may rely on this information for a living. Once it is revealed, they may not only fail to get along, but may even be killed.

"These populations are extremely tough, and this road is also a dead end." The fat man said, "How is your side?"

Wu Xie sighed, and said: "If the third uncle is here, maybe I can find out something. The people I contact are not qualified enough now! Those old people are weird, and they are all staring at my situation now. , I went to approach them specially, and didn’t give them food. That’s not something people like me can do!”

"Then don't think about it," said the fat man. "How can I say that the girl and the brother are very familiar, she should know something? Why don't you ask her?"

"I also want to ask, but Mengli always avoids the topic, I really can't help it." Wu Xie is really suffering and can't tell.

"Hey! Then don't mention it." The fat man was a little discouraged.

Wu Xie sighed, this is really not a problem!Suddenly, he thought of a person: "No, you just found a way to trap the lama, maybe it's not a dead end."

"How to say?" The fat man over there raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Those brokers don't want to say anything because they are afraid of offending people, or because they don't know, and they are afraid that they will be exposed when they speak out. But there is one person who doesn't have this concern. Maybe we can start with this person."

"Who is it?" asked the fat man.

"The time I went to Changbai Mountain, it was a man named Brother Chu who took the lama for my third uncle, do you remember?"

"You mean the bald head?"

"Ah."

Brother Chu, bald head Chu, is the owner of the underground bank co-operated by the third uncle. After being bribed by Chen Pi Asi, he was arrested by Lei Zi. Now he does not know where he is going to jail.He contacted the little brother and the fat man, and he must know their information, and he is in prison now, so he has no worries, but he doesn't know how to find him, and how to make him speak. No worries.

"Oh, it's true." Fatty understood Wu Xie's thoughts and said, "I didn't expect that. But, if we go to him, what if he reports us?"

"This kind of person is very shrewd. He has a lot of information in his hand. If he wants to spit it out, Changsha will fall. He bears not saying it because he knows it will be beneficial to him not to say it." Wu Xie said, "He is in trouble now, begging for help." There are many places, and I don’t think it’s difficult to formulate words.” As he spoke, he already knew what to do.Don't bother Pan Zi with other things, this matter is not sensitive, you can ask him to ask about the situation.

"That's fine," said the fat man, "I'll be in charge of my sister and brother."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xie called Pan Zi and told the ins and outs. Pan Zi was also a loyal person, so he agreed without hesitation. He was very efficient. Three days later, Wu Xie received his call.

Wu Xie thought he had clues, and asked him how the situation was.

Pan Zi sighed, and said: "The troublesome thing, I found it. I asked him. He does know what you want to know, but he won't say it in vain. There are conditions."

"What conditions?" Wu Xie asked.This is expected, and he will raise conditions in his situation.

"He wants 10 yuan, and he wants you to see him. He wants to tell you in person."

"See me?" Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and said to himself: Money is easy to talk about, why do you see me?It sounds a bit inappropriate.

"Could it be that he wants to lure me out so that he can make a contribution to the crime?" Wu Xie said chillingly, and he heard the sound of iron chains in his ear.

"I also think it's possible." Pan Zi clicked his tongue, "However, he asked me to bring you something. He said that if you read this thing, you will definitely go to see him."

"What is it?" Wu Xie asked curiously.

"It's an old photo." Pan Zi paused, "It's a very old photo, the black and white photo of my generation when they were young."

Wu Xie suddenly had goose bumps all over his body.My first reaction was to think of the group photo of my third uncle Xisha before he went to sea, that shitty photo, how much time he wasted.Thinking in his heart, does Brother Chu also know the secret of this matter?But it's too late for him to use this matter to negotiate conditions now.Thinking about it, he asked, "What's on the picture?"

Pan Zi hummed for a long time, and said, "I'm not sure, but it seems that the person who took the picture should be a 'ghost'."

I, who have been silent for a long time, have spoken!
