Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 445 Do you know the young man's name?
"Even the Silent One (Zhang Qiling) is here?"

Wu Xie didn't bother to look at the photo Hu Ming handed him; he craned his neck to look at the one in Xiao Ge's hand.

"This is Huo Ling? Oh wow, is this a group photo?"

Wu Xie raised an eyebrow slightly; this was a huge scoop!
Although Hu Ming and Hei Xiazi had talked about this matter when they were at the Golmud sanatorium.

But at that time, Wu Xie only listened to it as gossip.

Based on his understanding of the young man, it's hard to imagine anyone falling for him.

After all, someone like this guy is probably destined to be a bachelor for life.

However, in the photo, Huo Ling is affectionately hugging the young man's arm, smiling sweetly.

Although the young man looked a little impatient, he ultimately did not refuse.

This shows what?
In an instant, Wu Xie's eyes lit up.

Humans are divided into men and women, and men and women are yin and yang, which is called yin and yang.

As we all know, chaos gives rise to Taiji, Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams!
The Eight Trigrams are the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, applicable to all regardless of gender or age.

"boring!"

"And who is this woman?"

The young man frowned deeply as he looked at the two people in front of him.

"...Damn it, I forgot! Little Brother has forgotten everything from the past, and Huo Ling is no exception!"

Hu Ming was taken aback, exchanged a glance with Wu Xie, and sighed while rubbing his forehead.

Well, no more melons to eat then.

"Oh well, never mind, we'll talk about it later."

"By the way, Uncle Ming, I do know Aunt Wenjin in this photo, but who is this middle-aged man?"

Wu Xie sighed in disappointment and asked, pointing to the photo in his hand with a puzzled look.

"This is Zhang Dafoye, the former commander of the Nine Gates."

Hu Ming said with a smile.

"Master Zhang the Great Buddha!"

Wu Xie's pupils contracted.

Wu Xie's mind is much more agile than that of ordinary people. Just from this name, Wu Xie thought of some things.

"This is a long story. It's about Zhang Dafoye and that person collaborating to use the power of the Nine Gates to seek immortality, or even resurrection."

"If you want to know the truth about what happened back then, this is where it begins."

"We'll tell you the rest of the story when we encounter the relevant people or events."

After sorting through his memories and filtering out the trivial and insignificant details, Hu Ming focused on the important points and told Wu Xie about them.

"Um, Uncle Ming, who is this mysterious person you mentioned?"

"It cannot be spoken, it cannot be described!"

"Can't I even tell you quietly? I swear I won't go around telling everyone."

"Can't!"

"why?"

"Because once that name is mentioned, the book will be gone!"

"You still haven't told us who this woman is?"

The young man frowned and interrupted their conversation.

"Ugh"

Hu Ming and Wu Xie sighed again.

Loss of soul syndrome is truly a terrible illness.

This applies to both the young man and Hu Ming and the others.

……

……

When Hu Ming and the others returned to A Gui's house, Fatty Ya was already happily having lunch with Yun Cai.

"When there's a member of the opposite sex, there's no humanity!"

Wu Xie offered the fat man a middle finger, a gesture that is universally accepted.

After a whole morning of running around, everyone was starving. It's worth mentioning that Yun Cai looked at Hu Ming and the young man with a somewhat conflicted and shifty gaze.

Subconsciously, Yun Cai glanced at the wooden building next to her.

That's where A-Gui's son lives.

After putting away the tin box, the three of them sat down at the dining table.

It's still broad daylight, so exploring the contents of the box is somewhat risky.

After discussing it, the four decided to suppress their curiosity and deal with that thing late at night when everyone was quiet.

After all, it's easier to get things done when it's dark.

It was already midday, the sun was blazing in the sky, and the air was thick with heat.

In just the time it takes to eat a meal, everyone was already drenched in sweat, the sticky sweat clinging to their clothes and making them extremely uncomfortable.

The airflow generated by the banana leaf fan was also scalding hot, and it had no effect whatsoever.

Hu Ming and the other three outsiders simply couldn't get used to this humid and hot climate.

"Let's go, let's go! What are we waiting for when there's such a great place? If we stay any longer, I'll go bad!"

"Why don't we just go soak in the stream outside the village!"

It is well known that fat people are very afraid of heat, especially fat people. In a short time, the ground was already soaked with their sweat.

The stream outside the village is not wide, but it is quite deep and the current is quite rapid, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.

Hu Ming and his three companions, along with Yun Cai who was brought along by Fatty, made a group of five who wandered around the village, eventually arriving at the stream via a small path.

The villages in the mountains are mostly built next to streams, with a rocky beach between the village and the stream. When it rains heavily, the water will overflow, and these pebbles can act as a buffer.

Looking out from the embankment, I noticed quite a few people playing in the water; it seems the locals aren't immune to the heat.

As soon as they reached the stream, a cool breeze swept over them, and the group couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

Most of the people playing in the water here are children, especially girls around fifteen or sixteen years old.

It is worth mentioning.
The girls playing in the water here don't wear underwear, just white shirts. The see-through clothes cling to their bodies, highlighting their slightly immature and graceful curves.

If your eyesight were better, you might even be able to see some mysterious scenery.

"Damn it, this is heaven! This is absolutely heaven!"

"I've lived most of my life, and I've finally seen paradise on earth!!!"

Seeing that Yun Cai had joined the group of girls playing in the water, the fat man became excited.

He quickly threw his clothes on the ground and jumped in like a cannonball, splashing up a large amount of water, the fine droplets splashing all over the girl.

Fatty Y did it on purpose!
Perhaps, this is just how the local people are.

In short, the girls didn't mind the fat man's actions at all; on the contrary, they got even more excited, laughing and splashing water at each other with him.

"...This is the spider demon that Pigsy saw while bathing!"

Hu Ming and Wu Xie instantly reached an agreement, looking at the fat man with disdain.

then
The two men dragged the younger man, who was reluctant to go into the water, away. He was relatively more refined and only took off his shirt, immersing himself in the water while wearing only athletic shorts.

"Ah, that feels so good!"

The cool stream water instantly dispelled the heat from his body, and Hu Ming couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh comfortably, a sense of leisurely ease washing over him. After enjoying it for a few minutes, Hu Ming suddenly pulled a pair of sunglasses out of thin air and put them on his eyes.

"Is this also magic? Uncle Ming, you hid your sunglasses in your pocket?"

Wu Xie stared at Hu Ming's pocket with dead fish eyes. He couldn't think of anywhere else he could hide something.

"Get out!"

Hu Ming's face darkened, and he laughed and cursed in an annoyed tone.

Then he got up and walked towards the clouds.

“Clouds, do you know about the young man’s name?”

Hu Ming sat on the shore, lit a cigarette, his sunglasses concealing his malicious eyes, and said softly.

"What?" Yun Cai was stunned and didn't react.

"Zhang Qiling, this young man's name is Zhang Qiling. He is the real Zhang Qiling of the Zhang family. I think you understand the importance of this name. Have you memorized it?"

Hu Ming patted Yun Cai's thin shoulder and repeated it again on purpose.

After saying that, Hu Ming ignored Yun Cai's horrified expression and returned to his original spot, closing his eyes to enjoy the sun and the cool stream.
