Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

The moment Hu Ming returned to the room, the young man opened his eyes and calmly looked at Hu Ming.

"Nothing went wrong, everything went smoothly... it just seems like we accidentally went a little too far."

Hu Ming glanced at Wu Xie and Fatty, who were still fast asleep, and said softly.

As he spoke, he had already taken off his shirt and lay down on the bed.

"Not long ago, the hunters' dogs in the village seemed to have sensed something and became restless."

"However, it's not a big problem. After some hunters got up and checked, there was no further disturbance."

The young man understood immediately; Hu Ming had probably used some contraband, like explosives or something...

Hu Ming always seemed to be able to produce things out of thin air, so the young man was used to it.

It's just some kind of explosive.

Hu Ming understood what the young man meant.

Dogs have sixteen times the hearing of humans, and their hearing range reaches an astonishing 150,000 to 50,000 hertz, or even wider, far surpassing that of humans.

In addition, dogs can maintain a fairly high level of alertness even while sleeping at night.

In the quiet of the night, dogs can always easily detect movements that humans cannot.

Although the place where Hu Ming and the Ghost Shadow Man blew each other up was far from here, and the sound of the explosions was blocked by the lush jungle, it was almost impossible to hear anything in the village.

But dogs are a different story.
"It's not a big problem. It's quite far from here, in a remote area, and few people go there."

"It's likely that no one will be able to discover it, as for the clouds."

"She's asleep!"

Hu Ming suddenly changed his tone and whispered a word of advice.

The young man understood Hu Ming's meaning perfectly, and the two of them tacitly kept quiet, closed their eyes, covered themselves with the blanket, and their breathing became gentle.

From any angle, both of them appeared to be in a deep sleep.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Both Hu Ming and Xiao Ge are extraordinary, possessing a level of control over their bodies far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Entering deep sleep anytime, anywhere to allow the body to fully relax and rest is just the basics.

Of course, these kinds of people remain quite alert even during deep sleep.

At the slightest disturbance, or if their body instinctively senses a threat, they will instantly become fully alert and grab a knife to attack someone.

These days, you can't call yourself a lone wolf if you don't have a couple of amazing skills.

It took about three minutes.

The door to Hu Ming's room was gently pushed open from the outside.

A thin figure peered suspiciously at the four people through the crack in the door.

Moonlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the large trees in the courtyard, illuminating the beautiful face of the person who had just arrived.

It's clouds.

It is the cloud that has gone away and returned, returning to the village.

"Their breathing rhythm didn't change at all. It wasn't faked; Brother Hu Ming and Boss Fatty were really asleep."

"In other words, it wasn't just one of them who did it..."

After observing silently for at least ten minutes, Yun Cai still couldn't detect anything unusual.

Combined with her previous assessment, Yun Cai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clearing Jiang Nan and the others of suspicion.

"Perhaps, he really was an unknown outsider, one of the people from that later archaeological team? Maybe." "But it doesn't matter anymore. He's dead. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. I guess I'm finally free."

Yun Cai sighed softly, a feeling of relief rising in her heart.

For Yun Cai, who spends most of his time delivering messages for the Ghost Shadows and watching them kill outsiders, this is no easy task.

If they had no other choice, who would willingly participate in such a terrible thing?
Although Yun Cai is one of the few outstanding young hunters in the village, she has seen many bloody scenes in her daily life.

But indirectly harming people is something...
Yun Cai was, after all, just a young girl who was eighteen or not even nineteen.

Although some people insist that human nature is inherently evil, that people are born evil, are there any inherently evil people in this world?
It's simply a matter of environmental influence.

Having grown up in the mountains, Yun Cai is still a child with a pure heart.

Gently closing the door, even the departing clouds seemed to move with a lighter step.

Not long after the clouds left, Hu Ming and Xiao Ge silently opened their eyes.

The two exchanged a glance and suppressed the last bit of murderous intent in their hearts.

Neither of them are kind-hearted; they are ruthless at heart.

If Cloud truly cannot let go of the death of Ghostman and is determined to avenge him.

And they firmly believed that the death of the Ghostly Man was inextricably linked to Hu Ming and others, and were determined to avenge him.
What happened next was perhaps a little unpleasant.

But a cloud is still a cloud; it is an independent entity and not an appendage of the ghostly figure.

The ghostly figure is a thing of the past.

Perhaps, many years later, on a sunny afternoon or a quiet night, the clouds might remember that ghostly figure from back then.

As for why Clouds was helping the Ghost Man...
They were probably threatened by the ghostly figure.

After all, there aren't many young, naive, skilled, quick-witted, and easily controlled people in this village.

Ah Gui and his sister are Yun Cai's Achilles' heel.

or
The ghostly figure was actually Ah Gui's son, who was said to be deformed and never saw anyone.
It is not surprising that a few Han families live in Yao villages.

Being xenophobic does not mean keeping strangers out.

As long as local traditions and customs are respected, the Yao people are happy to accept outsiders.

But none of that matters anymore.

By this time, the sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn. Hu Ming and his colleague closed their eyes again, making the most of the time to rest.

After daybreak, everyone still has to go into the mountains!
He slept soundly until noon the next day.
After Hu Ming opened his eyes, he saw the blazing sun outside the window and silently lit a cigarette.

I have this feeling that I've inadvertently become the one who slows things down?
If they had gotten up earlier, the four of them might already be deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, or even close to Yangjiao Mountain.

"I really need to break this habit of sleeping in late; it's easy to make mistakes..."

Hu Ming sighed softly.

"Brother Hu Ming, you're awake? Perfect timing, it's lunchtime now. Go wash your face, Boss Pang and the others have been waiting for you all morning."

Just then, Yun Cai pushed open the door and entered. Covering her mouth, she looked at Hu Ming, who was leaning against the headboard, smoking and contemplating life with a melancholy expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, I'll get dressed and be right there."

Looking at the smiling, radiant clouds, Hu Ming raised an eyebrow slightly and responded with a smile.

In fact, this is quite good.

Yun Cai is at an age where she should be lively and carefree.
