Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 191 Wen Jin's Message
Wu Xiaoxie hadn't actually slept very soundly; he was preoccupied with something. He was startled awake when the beer bottle made a noise, but seeing that Zhang Wuxun had already sat up, he remained silent and didn't move.

As he pondered, he realized from the visitor's words that it seemed the master Zhuoma wanted to see either him or Muyu.

What was the Tibetan old woman doing seeing them? They hadn't exchanged a single word the entire way, and hadn't even seen each other a few times. This didn't make sense.

The tent was quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing.

Just as Zaxi was wondering if he had entered the wrong tent, he suddenly heard someone say in a low voice, "Tianzhen, they're looking for you."

The next instant, a small ray of white light peeked out from between his fingers and hit Zaxi's face.

Zhang Wuxun covered the flashlight head with his hand, letting out a tiny bit of light.

Wu Xiaoxie climbed out of his sleeping bag and asked in confusion, "What does Dingzhu Zhuoma want with me?"

Tashi's tone left no room for argument: "Don't ask so many questions, please come with me, it's a very important matter."

"And Mr. Zhang, please join us as well."

Zhang Wuxun was somewhat surprised. Why would Chen Wenjin let him hear her message? Could it be because of the reason related to Xiao Ge?
No, Chen Wenjin is now like a frightened bird that has repeatedly escaped a hunter's trap. He is extremely vigilant in everything he does, let alone trusting the identity of a stranger. So there must be a reason for doing this, but he can't figure it out for the time being.

Confused, the two followed Zaxi around the main camp area and walked nearly two hundred meters in one direction until they reached a campfire that was piled up alone. Dingzhu Zhuoma was sitting on a thick felt mat.

When Wu Xiaoxie saw the other person sitting on the felt, he was obviously surprised, but in this situation, remaining silent was the best option.

After the two sat down, Zhuoma's daughter-in-law, the middle-aged Tibetan woman who had been by her side, came forward and poured them butter tea.

Wu Xiaoxie glanced at Zhang Wuxun, his eyes practically overflowing with confusion.

Zhang Wuxun gave him a reassuring look, put the bowl down beside him, and didn't drink it.

A very special fragrance lingered around my nose; it was so faint that I wouldn't even notice it if I wasn't paying attention.

This is the scent of the Forbidden Woman Incense. Zhang Wuxun had been in close contact with Huo Ling, who had become a Forbidden Woman, and remembered this scent.

The severed claws of the Forbidden Woman are still kept in a small box in his space.

After delivering the person, Zaxi took two steps toward the team's camp to keep watch.

Dingzhu Zhuoma then spoke, but in heavily accented Mandarin, “I have a message here. The person who asked me to deliver it is Chen Wenjin, whom I believe you all know. She asked me to pass on a message to you.”

Wu Xiaoxie doubted whether he had heard correctly. Chen Wenjin was still alive? And she even left a message for them?
If my third uncle knew this news, he would be so happy he'd do a handstand.

Dingzhu Zhuoma continued, "When Chen Wenjin asked me to send the video, she had already anticipated this situation. If you came to find Tamutuo according to the notes, then she asked me to tell you that she would wait for you at the destination for a while, but..."

Tashi moved the watch in front of Dingzhu Zhuoma. She glanced at it and said, "You don't have much time left. If she doesn't see you within ten days, she will go in on her own. You'd better hurry."

The young man looked slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure and asked, "When did she tell you all this?"

Upon hearing this, Dingzhu Zhuoma coldly replied, "I was only responsible for delivering the message; I know nothing else. Oh, and she also told me to tell you that walls have ears, and it might already be here."

After speaking, he was about to leave, supported by a middle-aged Tibetan woman.

Zhang Wuxun suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on the middle-aged Tibetan woman's back, and asked in Tibetan, "How did she determine it?" In the original plot, Chen Wenjin said, "It" is among you.

Zhang Wuxun couldn't be himself, nor could Xiao Ge, Wu Xiaoxie, Fatty, or Pan Zi. But Chen Wenjin firmly believed that it was among them, so the only suspect left was A Ning.

However, the system was very certain that Aning was not. Although the system could not explain why, Zhang Wuxun intuitively believed in the system that was symbiotic with him.

Therefore, only in the Devil City, away from Xiao Ge's sight, must something have happened to A Ning that made her change from not being to being being.

Therefore, Zhang Wuxun decided to inform the current A Ning in advance. If she survives this time, his plans will go much more smoothly.

Upon hearing Zhang Wuxun's question, the middle-aged Tibetan woman paused almost imperceptibly. Then, Dingzhu Zhuoma turned to look at Zhang Wuxun, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat strange in the dim firelight.

Dingzhu Zhuoma said in Tibetan, "When you find her, you might as well ask her yourself."

After saying that, he left without looking back and went into the tent.

Zhang Wuxun frowned, his doubts growing. What exactly did Chen Wenjin mean?
This kind of riddle-solving stuff is fucking annoying.

Only the three of them remained by the campfire.

Wu Xiaoxie looked at this and then at that, and damn it, it seemed like he was the only one who was out of the loop!

The young man lowered his eyelids, sat quietly for two seconds, then suddenly stood up to leave.

"Stop right there!" Wu Xiaoxie said urgently, quickly pressing him down. "I have a few questions for you, and you must answer them this time."

The young man glanced at him indifferently, then sat back down without saying a word, seemingly waiting to hear what Wu Xiaoxie would ask.

Wu Xiaoxie no longer cared about what was going on with his unusual behavior, so she simply went all out and asked him all the questions that had arisen since he received the videotape and the recent events.

Then she looked at the young man expectantly.

To his surprise, the young man merely glanced at him dismissively and then said softly, "I won't answer you."

"..."

Wu Xiaoxie was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood. He was so furious he saw stars and wanted to pounce on the guy and strangle him.

But then the young man added, "If it weren't for Muyu insisting on bringing you along, I wouldn't have agreed to let you come. Your third uncle has already done a lot for you, and you don't need to get involved in this mess at all."

Wu Xiaoxie was furious and about to unleash a torrent of curses when he suddenly realized that Xiao Ge was actually talking to him very seriously. He became speechless. "I... I just want to know what's going on. That's all I need to know. It's that simple. But you've all kept it from me. How can I not get involved?"

The young man turned his head to look at Zhang Wuxun, who was still sitting in the same spot, and said helplessly, "You shouldn't have brought him here."

Zhang Wuxun chuckled softly, "Brother, even if I don't take him this time, he'll still have to go through these things in the future; there's no way to avoid them."

He sighed softly, "The truth is often unbearable, but fate doesn't offer many other options."

We are all the same.
