Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 148

Brother Chu's statement made Wu Xie feel that he knew a lot of things, so he couldn't help but make him nervous, so he urged him, lest he would stop talking halfway like Uncle Third.

This time he couldn't help showing timidity, Brother Chu looked at Wu Xie and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me a few things first."

"What is it?" Wu Xie asked.Xin said: Shouldn't the price be increased temporarily?

He looked at the door and said tremblingly: "You can't tell others that I told you these things. After all, if I can tell you about dumb Zhang, I can also tell you about other people for money. It’s good that someone heard the news and couldn’t think of finding someone to do me. I’m not out of date, and I still have to go out, and this place is not as safe as I thought. If I wasn’t desperate, I wouldn’t sell the news.”

Wu Xie nodded, he could understand that, that's why he asked him to come to see him, and also to distract Pan Zi, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

"Your third uncle and I have been friends for many years, so I carried out many things in the early years, for example, investigating Chen Wenjin. Therefore, I know much more than you imagine." He trembled Suo said, "I also know how deep the water is behind here. You may not know, your third uncle often mentions you, so I know about you, you are not a Taoist, so I dare to sell you the news."

Wu Xie's heart was churning, which could explain why he had that photo.He asked, "What's going on here?"

He continued: "I don't know if your third uncle told you about those people?"

"You mean that expedition team?" Wu Xie asked, what the third uncle said sounded in his mind: They are not normal.

"Said some, but not much."

"Your third uncle has been investigating the whereabouts of that group of people all his life. When I was hanging out with him, I often listened to his nagging, but the more I checked, the more abnormal he found this group of people." Brother Chu finished smoking again. A cigarette, took out one and continued to smoke, "These people seem to be independent, independent of this world, and have no connection with this society at all. Where do they come from, who are they, what are they investigating, who are they?" do not know either."

"I know that."

"At that time, I persuaded him to give up, and he told me that he absolutely did not believe that such people existed in this world. In those years, we almost exhausted all the methods, and there was no progress. In the end, your third uncle still listened. My, give up. I thought this matter was over like this. I didn’t expect that a year ago, after your third uncle, you, and dumb Zhang came back from Shandong, your third uncle suddenly told me that dumb Zhang was also the same One of the partners, and has never been old. Surprised, we immediately started to investigate, and the target was naturally dumb Zhang."

Wu Xie sat up straight, and saw Brother Chu lit another cigarette, not sure which one it was.He still took a deep breath. "Mute Zhang was from the fourth grandpa at the time, and your third uncle borrowed it from the fourth grandpa. I asked someone to inquire about his life experience, and I heard some unbelievable things." He paused, "It is said that The first time Si Grandpa saw the dumb Zhang was quite strange, it happened four years ago, during a corpse arrest in Guangxi, have you heard of corpse arrests?"

Wu Xie nodded. Catching corpses is something in the old society. It usually happens when some kind of disaster occurs. Places with zombie legends are more prevalent, and drought hunting is one of them.At such times, graves are often dug to turn over the corpses, and sometimes when there are real corpses, the villagers pick out the brave ones, drag them out of the ancient tomb with a lasso and zongzi, and expose them to the sun to eliminate harm.

What Chen Pi Asi's people and Brother Chu said about capturing corpses was different from this. Brother Chu said, it started with Chen Pi Asi's business in Guangxi.

Guangxi has always been a place where the cultures of various ethnic groups gather together, and there are many cultural relics and historic sites. However, because the cultural differences are too great with the Central Plains, the people from the Central Plains are completely useless in Guangxi. Those who are active in Guangxi are generally Taojia or antiques. They all go to the village to collect antiques.Because Guangxi borders Vietnam, over time, some Vietnamese discovered this way of making money, and these people crossed the border to China to rob some ancient tombs.Guangxi has Lingnan culture, and there are many ancient tombs, and many of them are open burials. The Vietnamese don't know how to rob tombs and dig randomly, but they can still get some things.

The business of the Central Plains generation in Changsha and Shaanxi is actually very difficult. You said there are no buckets, and there are indeed. There are many oil buckets, which have been stolen more than a dozen times, and there are still things left in them. You will not be empty-handed if you go in .But there are really too few real things, and there are really too few with a dragon's back. If you want to open a new store, several companies are squatting to grab goods.For a period of time, there were quite a few people digging Jin Guo's graves in Heilongjiang, and Guangxi was also on the same line.

The plate of Chen Pi Asi is big, so it is also connected with the Vietnamese in Guangxi. The reason why they sent people to Guangxi at that time was because the people there said that a group of Vietnamese found Dadou. I don’t know why. It seems that the scale is quite large. Big, we need to send people here to "guidance", they don't know which things are valuable and which are not.

At that time, three people went there. They followed the Vietnamese into the rainforest and saw how the Vietnamese did things for the first time.The Vietnamese were fully armed. It is estimated that this group of people not only engaged in this kind of business, but also carried a basket. When asked what they contained, they said that it contained "Akun".The people in Chen Pi Asi don't understand Vietnamese, and they don't know what it means.

It took them three days to walk through the woods on the Sino-Vietnamese border before they reached that place.The ancient tomb was almost open, and they covered the entrance with banana leaves, which seemed to be a cellar. Just as they were about to enter, the Vietnamese stopped them and gestured to them, probably meaning "be careful".

As they talked, a Vietnamese moved out the contents of the basket, only then did they realize that the basket contained a naked man.

The man's hands and feet were tied, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in mud. The Vietnamese carried him and hung him in through the entrance.

Below the entrance is the tomb passage, all the way down the stone steps, the Vietnamese have drawn their knives, and the people of Chen Pi Asi are also preparing black donkey hooves. When walking, they found that the ancient tomb is very large. After walking for more than ten minutes When we arrived at the tomb, we could smell a rancid smell when we went down to the bottom.They searched for the smell and found a square well the size of a washbasin in the center of the tomb, and the smell came from below.

This is a two-story tomb, and it is a mass burial tomb in the Lingnan Kingdom. According to the flashlight, there is a rather low tomb at the bottom of the well, only about [-] meters high. You can see the wooden coffins arranged in the shape of the sun immersed in the stagnant water. A strong stench emanates from below.

The Vietnamese directly pushed the tied man down, then lowered the noose and shone with a flashlight, as if waiting for some prey.

Chen Pi Asi's people could tell at a glance that there must be something wrong with this ancient tomb, maybe someone died the first time they went in, so this time, they brought someone in.This person may be equivalent to fishing bait. They want to use a living person to lure something inside, and then put a noose down to catch it and hang it up.This is indeed a method of catching corpses.

Listening to this is too cruel. The theft of cultural relics is nothing more than seeking money, and the matter of taking people's lives has deteriorated. However, the things over there have historical reasons, so it is difficult to generalize.The people in Chen Pi Asi know that the Vietnamese are desperadoes, and they cannot interfere with this kind of thing, otherwise they don't know what they will do.

But they waited for a long time, and there was no movement at all. The Vietnamese were very strange. After discussing in Vietnamese for a while, the leader forced a Vietnamese to go down to check.

After the person went down and looked around, he waved his hand, meaning that it was all right, and several other Vietnamese people also went down and started hanging things on it.As a result, the two pieces were not hung up, and suddenly something happened below, and someone screamed, and blood splashed out of the well.

These Vietnamese were quite tough, and some of them fled up immediately, and two of them escaped. Then, a dead hand with unusually long nails stretched out from the well, almost grabbing the leader.They were so frightened that they had no choice but to seal the mouth of the well with stones, piled up more than a dozen big stones, and then fled in a panic.

This matter was later found out by Chen Pi Asi. For such an experienced dipper, it is impossible to give up this ancient tomb just because there are a few zongzi in it.So Chen Pi Asi personally led people back to Guangxi, and when they arrived at the ancient tomb, it was already a week later. After they removed the stone, they found that the place below was a mess, full of stumps, and the stench was overflowing.

Chen Pi Asi thought that everyone was dead, but when he went down, he saw a dozen rice dumplings lying on one side of the tomb, and their necks were all broken.A naked man sat on a coffin among the rice dumplings, looking at him expressionlessly.

Brother Chu said: "This person is the 'Akun' who was used as bait by the Vietnamese before, and is now the dumb Zhang. That was the first time they met."

Wu Xie took a breath: "This is too dramatic."

"There must be exaggeration in this. It's easy to be vivid in this line of work." Brother Chu seemed to be enjoying the incident as he talked about it. It may be that he felt that he had returned to the time before he was imprisoned. "It is said that those Vietnamese people lived in a village in Guangxi When they found the dumb Zhang, he was unconscious at the time. They took him as a fool and tied him up as bait. However, this should be the case, and the exaggeration may be the number of rice dumplings. After that, he became This matter is widely spread among the able-bodied people of the fourth grandpa, but they don’t tell the outside world.”

"What happened before this?"

"No one knows that the dumb Zhang is very powerful, and the fourth grandpa thinks highly of him. However, I think the fourth grandpa probably doesn't know his ins and outs. There are rules in the way, so no one will ask too much about such things."

Wu Xiexin said, it's useless for Chen Pi Ah Si to know, he doesn't know where he is now, so where should he ask him.

"Although this matter is just a legend, it at least gave your third uncle a direction." Brother Chu said, "However, things took a turn for the worse. Your third uncle rushed to Xisha, so I went to Guangxi for him, holding the dumb Zhang It took me two months to get some clues in a small village called Banai in Shangsi—”

That village was in a mountainous area, close to the Sino-Vietnamese border, and someone there recognized dumb Zhang, whose local name was Akun, and took Brother Chu to the place where Akun lived.

Wu Xie let out an "ah", but he really didn't expect it: "You mean he lives in the countryside of Guangxi?"

"It's quite remote, but that place is Chen Pi Asi's hall in Guangxi. There are many Vietnamese people, so he should live there, but I'm not [-]% sure. I contacted him through Si Grandpa when I went to Changbai Mountain to pick up lamas. He should spend most of his time working outside, and it can be seen that there are not many people living in the house, maybe he never went back when he left Guangxi."

"What's his room like?" Wu Xie asked.He was a little curious about what the little brother's home would look like.

"It's very ordinary. It's a tall and low house, just like the mud houses where the local ethnic minorities live. There are bed boards and a table inside. There is glass on the table, and there are many photos pressed under it. I went in secretly. Yes, because it was the fourth grandpa's site, I didn't dare to be presumptuous, and I didn't dare to bring my things out, so I just searched inside and took out one of the photos——the one I gave you, ready to I will decide what to do after discussing it with your third uncle. But I didn't expect Chen Pi's elder brother to have his eyes on me long ago. Before I left Banai, I was caught by someone. You know what happened after that He paused, and then said, "My own feeling, when I was in Changsha to inquire about Mute Zhang, the Fourth Grandpa had already noticed me, and he probably knew something, so I was stared at when I arrived in Banai. Stay. I had no other choice at the time, but to deal with your third uncle with him. "

Wu Xie asked: "Then what is the big secret behind what you said just now?"

Brother Chu looked at him, and trembled again: "I can't say this..."

Wu Xie gave a "tsk", he hated people playing charades for him the most, and said: "Why can't you say, do you think you don't have enough money?"

Brother Chu trembled: "Little third master, to be honest, when your third uncle is around, the most taboo thing is to ask the truth. Now his life and death are uncertain, and there is no guarantee that he will appear suddenly one day. You can find out these things by yourself. Forget it, if he knows that I told you these things, I'm afraid I'll die. Your third uncle is not a good man and a believer in things. I betrayed him once, but that's forgivable. It's just that if you betray him again in this matter, It is morally unjustifiable. You also said that things on the Tao have their own particulars. If you want to know this, you go to that house and look at the other photos pressed under the glass on the table, and you will naturally understand why I let you Stop. I can only tell you this, the specific content must not come out of my mouth."

He still wanted to light a cigarette, but the cigarette was gone. He coughed and his eyes were blank, which was somewhat similar to that of his younger brother.

The mountain villages in Guangxi, the mutes in the villages, the more they talk about it, the more they talk about it.But what brother Chu said made Wu Xie feel itchy, what did he see in the little brother's room, no matter how much he asked him, he didn't say anything, after asking him many times, his mouth became very hard.Looking at his appearance, Wu Xie felt a little strange and artificial, very weird, and finally the guards came in and asked what was going on. At this point, if you push him any further, something may happen, so he had to give up.

Pan Zi was quite depressed, and said, "Why don't I find someone to teach him a lesson and make him spit it out."

"You don't need to be so extreme, I think he looks a little hypocritical, maybe I don't know it."

"Why?" Pan Zi asked.

"This is called bluffing. He may just know that there is a table in that room and there are photos on it, but he doesn't know exactly what is in the photos. Bluffing, this kind of news lending money will do it." Wu Xie said, "Of course , He must have been there before, so he dares to say that with certainty."

This is just his speculation. In fact, it is meaningless to think about it. In any case, he still has to go there himself.At that time, I will naturally know whether what he said is too exaggerated.

After getting Banai's address from Brother Chu, the plan to go to Guangxi was basically confirmed.

Banai is a Yao village, located in the hinterland of Guangxi's Shiwanda Mountains, known as Siberia in Guangxi, it was a very poor place in the early years.Looking at the address, I'm afraid it's not in the village of Banai, but maybe it's in the mountains around the village.

Chen Pi Asi is an old-fashioned person, and he might like to choose a place where it takes two days to get there after reporting to the police.
