Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 165

"Who the hell doesn't want us to know what?" The fat man fell into deep thought, "I definitely don't believe that Panma said that the members of the archaeological team were resurrected. I think there is another possibility, that is, the archaeological team It may have been transferred."

"Dropped?" Wu Xie was a little surprised when he heard that, "Could it be that those people have changed their appearance?"

"Yes, maybe that archaeological team has been targeted for a long time, but Pan Ma and the others help others get rid of that archaeological team, and then let people pretend to be it." Fatty rarely analyzed seriously.

"What would be the purpose? For those iron blocks, there are other conspiracy." Aning frowned, with a very puzzled expression on his face.

"That piece of iron, did you find anything?" Meng Li asked.

Aning shook his head and said, "Since that thing is so important, and at the same time there are unknown dangers hidden, sulfuric acid cannot be used lightly."

"It's useless to think about it. I went directly to the lake to explore and see if there are any clues down there." The fat man said.

Then they discussed some specific matters.Because this time is of a tourist nature, except for Meng Li who greeted my little brother in advance and brought the Bi An and Hei Jin ancient knife in disguise, I didn't bring any other equipment, so it was a bit tricky, in case there was a coffin digging If you need a guy, you can only stare blankly.

The place is remote, and it is impossible to buy ready-made equipment in this kind of place. The fat man said: "Some things are unnecessary. We can buy some substitutes. Although they are not so handy to use, they are still close to the village this time. The quality requirements don’t have to be too high.”

He was talking about survival supplies in the wild. Hunters have their own set. They definitely don't need solid fuel and smokeless stoves on their backs. But after seeing the ferocity of wild beasts, Wu Xie felt that some weapons should be prepared.

Called Agui to discuss these matters with him. Agui also hunted himself. He had three shotguns, all of which were modified old guns whose names were not known, and one of them was unusable.

Agui's hunting is already a hobby activity, so he doesn't have much ammunition at home. The fat man checked the two guns and said, "Agui's one is absolutely fine, the other one hasn't been used for a long time, but the gun is well maintained. It’s okay, you have to shoot it to know if it’s still usable.”

They bought fifty rounds of ammunition from the neighbors next door to Ah Gui, but they only had two guns, which were given to Wu Xie and Fatty, but Ah Ning didn't have any weapons at hand.

So, under the incredulous gazes of Wu Xie, Aning and Fatty, Mengli took out an umbrella and drew a knife from it.

The fat man was extremely skeptical about life: "I'll go! This is also okay?!"

Mengli raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the umbrella knife." She put the knife back into the umbrella and handed it to Ah Ning.

Ah Ning was speechless for a while, finally pursed her lips, and said calmly: "...Thank you."

The machete that opened the mountain is available at Agui’s house, and Agui specially went to sharpen it. For other things, Wu Xie wrote a note asking him to go to the village to see if there are any substitutes. If there is no climbing rope, use the hemp rope in the well. For high-power flashlights, use a few flashlights in bundles, and if you don’t have a dagger, use a sickle.

Agui also suggested that they bring mosquito coils and mosquito nets, because there is a lot of rain now, and there are many mosquitoes and poisonous ants in the mountains, especially on the edge of the lake, where the mosquitoes are as big as wasps, otherwise they will definitely not be able to bear it.

Wu Xiexin said: With my brother and Mengli here, there is no need to worry about this.

Arrangements were made, and Agui said that it would take a day or two to prepare those things. Anyway, the hunters didn't come back, so he set off when he was ready.

During this period, the fat man said that he could find a way to use the sulfuric acid he brought back to see what was wrapped in the iron block. This required careful operation and a better venue.

Wu Xie recalled Pan Ma's narration and thought it was inappropriate. There was a smell emanating from this piece of iron, and this smell gradually faded over time, indicating that there was a volatile substance in it. Ghosts know that this substance is harmful to the human body. Will it be harmful.He felt that the time to dissolve this thing had not yet come, and when he got there, after finding some clues, it would be more reliable to judge whether it was necessary to take this risk.

Fatty's curiosity was so burning that he couldn't stand it, but what Wu Xie said was absolutely reasonable, and the other three people also agreed with him. Thinking that it might affect other people, he had no choice but to give up.

The next time the fat man was in high spirits, one was that his ancient tomb said he believed it, and the other was that he hadn’t hunted for a long time and his hands were so itchy that he kept nagging him all night despite his face being swollen as if he had been kicked by a horse. The hunting thing.

Wu Xie couldn't sleep either, but his mind was thinking about the things by the lake. The little brother kept silent, and Wu Xie saw that he had been staring at the window of the building next to Agui in a daze.

He remembered that he saw a shadow in that building the night before yesterday, but now the window was dark and he couldn't see anything. It seemed that Agui's son was not very willing to see people and lived in seclusion.He suspected that there was some disease, so he could only stay at home.This is often the case in rural areas.

But Mengli and Aning had already gone back to the room to sleep, and they both agreed that it would be better to sleep instead of thinking about what they have and what they don't have, and they don't have anything to think about, and the top priority is to nourish their energy.

After a night of no sleep and a day of intense thought activities, Wu Xie soon lost his mind and couldn't hear what the fat man was saying, and the little brother dozed off there.It's much cooler outside than inside, and there's not a single bug around. They just lay down and fell asleep, and it was already noon the next day when they woke up.

Mengli and Aning woke up early, and most of the things that should be prepared have been prepared. Wu Xie and Fatty couldn't help but sigh, the little brother is still not angry.

The third day was well prepared, and Agui took them out.

What made Wu Xie depressed was that he didn't see the legendary guide, and it was Agui himself and Yun Cai who set off together.

Agui explained that the hunter went into the mountain, and he didn't know if he encountered any obstacles. The teams didn't come back, and the others didn't go there.Yuncai had been there a few times with her grandfather before, knowing the way and having a dog, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Agui wanted to talk about it because of the travel expenses, but Agui had also hunted before, and it was considered reliable, so they could only agree.

When the fat man heard that Yun Cai wanted to follow, he said, "What are you doing with me, little girl? If you accidentally hurt something, you as a father don't feel bad, but I do."

Fatty likes to play tricks to amuse Yun Cai during his stay here, but he doesn't know if he wants to eat tofu or is serious.

Mengli thought, Yun Cai's identity is not simple, if she is saved, if the fat man really hooks up with her in the future, then the fat man will have to suffer on his own.

"Do you look down on people? Our daughters here are no worse than your men." Yun Cai came out from the inner room, wearing a hunting suit of the Yao nationality, with a hunting knife on his back and a small short shotgun on his back. Look at this The posture is like a different person.The sons and daughters bred in the mountains, the men are iron-blooded and tough guys, and the women are not inferior to their men.

Yao girls are already in good shape, but when they wear this dress, the lines of their calves and body are stretched out, which makes them look really tight.Coupled with the heroic and playful expression, with the irresistible taste of seventeen or eighteen years old, he conquered the fat man at once.

She walked up to the fat man, stared at them challengingly, and said, "Bosses, don't you look down on people?"

"No, no! Not at all!" The fat man immediately said, "Big sister, don't misunderstand me, your fat brother, I am mainly afraid of your hard work, but in our hearts, you are definitely the best candidate."

Wu Xie immediately frowned, kicked the fat man, and cursed in a low voice: "Why did you change your mind so quickly? What's the matter? At your age, you still want an old cow to eat tender grass?"

"What's the matter with my age, Fat Master, I say this is called a man who has reached his prime, a strong cow, not an old cow." He whispered, "You asked Pan Zi to find a wife, why can't you tolerate me?"

"I—" Wu Xie didn't know how to refute him, anyway, he just felt something was wrong.

Mengli couldn't help laughing, she thought Wu Xie should be sour, citric acid.After all, he has never even held a little girl's hand, let alone fell in love.

The only thing that Meng Li cared about was that when they were packing, the fat man would always tease Yun Cai, making Yun Cai laugh.But she could see that Yun Cai looked at the little brother secretly from time to time, watching very carefully, always looking back immediately after one glance, but in those clear eyes, she could see something.

She has done this kind of behavior before, and it shows that she cares about that person.If she hadn't known that Yun Cai's identity was not easy, she would probably have thought: Could it be that the little girls nowadays like boys with such a sense of mystery, the more unpredictable they are, the more challenging they are.

As if aware of something, Yun Cai raised his head and met Mengli's eyes, Yun Cai was startled, then smiled at her.

They set off on the same route as they had used to find Papa Panma at that time. Wu Xie already had a little understanding of this route, and it was much easier than searching for Papa Panma at night.

Fatty was simply fascinated, he circled around the clouds, and almost got down on his knees to be her horse. The clouds were really cute, bouncing around.

She looked at the fat man and asked, "What on earth do you guys do? I know that you are definitely not tour guides. How could a tour guide come to such a place?"

Mengli knew that she was testing them, trying to get useful information.

But the fat man is not stupid, knowing that some things can be said and some things cannot be said, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "We are big shots with a secret mission, if you are willing to kiss me, I will tell you secretly."

Wu Xie was really afraid that Yun Cai would kiss him, it would be too wasteful, but fortunately Yun Cai still has aesthetic ability, and she was determined not to be fooled.

And Ah Ning found that after the fat man said that sentence, Yun Cai secretly rolled her eyes, and others might think that she was cute and coquettish.But as a mercenary for many years, Aning's observations are meticulous. She saw the disdain in Yun Cai's eyes, and inexplicably became vigilant. Maybe this girl is not as simple as they thought.

The atmosphere seemed relaxed, but the little brother's face remained unchanged. In the relaxed atmosphere, only he was still in the cloud.

Mengli knew what he was worried about, but she didn't want him to know too much and carry too much burden.

"Here, here you are. Be happy, don't think too much." She put a piece of toffee in the palm of the little brother's hand, her eyes burning.

The little brother stared at her blankly, nodded slightly, and gradually tightened his hands, holding the piece of toffee, as if holding the last warmth.

When they arrived at the ancient tomb at the mountain pass that night, they went in for a kilometer or two to rest for a while, and continued after dawn. They walked in the mountains for two days before they came to the lake.
