Tomb Raider: As a cannon fodder, I started to play badly

Hei Xia Zi sighed here, as if he had said too much, so he picked up the tea beside him. Zhang Qilin stared at Hei Xia Zi's actions closely, eager to know from him what happened next.

After taking a sip of tea, Hei Xiazi looked straight at Zhang Qilin and said, "After that, he stayed in Jiumen and the teahouse in Changsha. The mute disappeared after going down to the tomb. That was the last time we heard from Xiao Ran, before the biggest tomb robbery." He paused and said, "When Xiao Ran showed up again, he was carried by Zhang Qilin to Jiumen."

"Zhang Qishan finally took the path that Xiao Ran had repeatedly dissuaded him from taking. He was ready to attack the Nine Gates, and not only that, he also attacked the Zhang family. At this time, the mute appeared, carrying Xiao Ran on his back, and came to Changsha."

Hei Xia Zi fixed his eyes on the teacup in his hand, and his thoughts slowly returned to that time.

When Zhang Qilin, or to be more precise Bai Ran, appeared in Changsha City, even though things and people had changed a lot, many guys still recognized Bai Ran and went back to tell their master who seemed to have been forgotten long ago.

Zhang Qilin, pursed his lips, and carried the unconscious Bai Ran to the teahouse according to his memory.

Hei Xia Zi was boredly doing an abacus at the door, with a carefully protected wooden sign beside him. Even though more than 20 years had passed, it was still the same as it was at the beginning. He heard footsteps and looked up. The sun shone into the teahouse and on his face. He was dazzled by the sun. After more than 20 years, the frozen land finally welcomed the warm sun.

"Mute!" Hei Xia Zi looked at Bai Ran who still hadn't woken up, and suddenly felt uncertain and timid. Although he always said that he wanted to see Bai Ran alive or dead, he had been waiting for so many years, just because he was afraid that Xiao Ran would come back and not see him one day. The teahouse was Xiao Ran's hard work, and Jiumen was Xiao Ran's home. In the final analysis, he always thought that Xiao Ran was still alive and had been avoiding her.

Zhang Qilin seemed to understand Hei Xiazi's worries, shook his head and said, "Coma!"

"Xiao Liu, take care of the store. I have something to do. I'll be back soon!" Xiao Liu is the son of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper passed away early due to illness two years ago. Xiao Liu helps to look after the store when Hei Xia Zi is busy. He is considered to have inherited his father's mantle.

Hei Xia Zi signaled to Zhang Qilin that this was not the place to talk. After thinking about it, he took Zhang Qilin to the Eighth Master's Mansion.

On the way, they met a group of people who were hurrying here. It was rare for all nine sects to come to one place together.

Hei Xia Zi told everyone about his plan, and everyone had no objection. Along the way, they looked at the person on Zhang Qilin's back who hadn't moved at all. He looked like a porcelain doll.

After arriving at the Eighth Master's residence and arranging everything, everyone came to the lobby, just like that night.

"What happened?" Qi Tiezui had matured a lot and even looked a bit like an immortal, but he still asked anxiously, his mind full of his little boat lying on the couch.

"He has been unconscious in the bronze door! I will come out and carry him out!" Zhang Qilin concluded lightly.

When Zhang Qishan heard the familiar three words, a hint of conspiracy flashed in his eyes, which seemed to be invisible to everyone, except Mr. Xie Jiu, who had been trying his best to avoid the Nine Gates after Xiao Ran left.

Mr. Xie Jiu sighed in his heart. He really didn't expect that he would end up in the scene that Xiao Ran least wanted to see.

"Bronze door? How could Xiao Ran be there!" Qi Tiezui murmured, calculating with his hands. He figured out what the bronze door represented, which was a little unbelievable.

Zhang Qilin shook his head lightly, but in fact he had a similar answer in his mind, an answer similar to the one calculated by Qi Tiezui. And Hei Xiazi, who had been silent all the time, did not speak, and all his attention was on Bai Ran. He looked at the sleeping Bai Ran and inexplicably felt that this seemed to be not bad, at least he would not disappear for no reason. However, he still wanted to hear the person in front of him call him "Xia Xia" again.

"Eighth Brother, what have you figured out?" Zhang Qishan had only heard that the Zhang family had to guard a place for generations, and he didn't know what it represented. Thinking of what he had discussed a few days ago, he darkened his eyes and thought, perhaps, he could have a better chance.

Qi Tiezui glanced at Zhang Qishan, remembered Xiao Ran's previous instructions to Zhang Qishan, as well as Xie Jiuye's previous words, and looked at Zhang Qilin without saying anything. Zhang Qilin shook his head and nodded. Qi Tiezui understood and said nothing.

After all, things have changed and people have changed!
