I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

The old man with the fish got up and walked towards the toilet. The passageway was a bit narrow, and he accidentally bumped into Ling Xiao as he passed by.

The old man simply nodded and said, "Excuse me."

A strange smell wafted over, and Ling Xiao was jostled forward, his forearm hitting the table. The wound that had already scabbed over was torn open again, and blood oozed out.

Xie Yuhua grabbed Ling Xiao's arm and started examining him. Cheng Yu and the fat man immediately stood up and said to the old man, "Are your eyes on your head just for show? Can't you see someone this big?"

The old man wanted to argue, but seeing that Ling Xiao's arm was wrapped in bandages and bleeding, he apologized in Miao language and quickly left the place.

"There's something wrong with the smell on him." Ling Xiao whispered to Xie Yuhua, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. It smelled like the stench of a corpse mixed with something else.

Cheng Yu looked at Xie Yuhua, who closed her eyes in response. Just as Cheng Yu took a step, Hei Xiazi stood up, a toothpick dangling from his mouth, and said in a roguish manner, "You didn't listen to the book, but you drank quite a bit of water. Looks like the blind man needs to go to the toilet too."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao looked up and smiled, saying to Hei Xiazi in a slightly playful tone, "One blind man has already gone. Mr. Hei, you should wait a little longer. After all, the toilet isn't big, and there aren't many stalls for disabled people."

Xie Yuhua glanced at the table opposite and, sure enough, Chen Pi Asi was no longer in his seat. Ling Xiao took a sip of tea and said, "It's getting late. It seems no one will be coming to tell stories today." He then leaned against Xie Yuhua, his tone slightly coquettish, "Brother Xiaohua, I'm a little tired. Will you come upstairs with me to rest for a while?"

Xie Yuhua nodded. Ling Xiao almost fell as soon as he stood up, but Xie Yuhua caught him in time.

Ling Xiao chuckled and complained, "After being bedridden for so long, my legs are really stiff. Looks like I need to walk around more."

Xie Yuhua comforted her from the side, saying, "To be honest, you shouldn't even be getting out of bed right now. You're already doing very well. You'll have to get used to it and recover gradually."

"Mm." Ling Xiao smiled sweetly, as if he genuinely agreed with Xie Yuhua's assessment.

After going upstairs, Ling Xiao took something out and put it in Xie Yuhua's hand.

"Snake-browed bronze fish? How did you get this? And that old man's newspaper?" Wu Xie asked, somewhat surprised and delighted, as he took the snake-browed bronze fish.

"The child asked me to bring this to you. He said that compared to him, you might be more suitable for these things." Xie Yuhua truthfully relayed Ling Xiao's words, but he omitted a part of them.

Wu Xie didn't ask too many questions. These things were indeed useful to him. He made himself a cup of coffee, took the fish, and sat down at the table to examine it carefully. He also studied the newspaper carefully. The front of the newspaper showed the price of the snake-browed bronze fish displayed by the old man, but the back was a map, which looked very incongruous.

Wu Xie tried to pick at the newspaper with his fingers and found that it had been pasted on. Unfortunately, he couldn't remove it, so he started to study the fish again. While studying, he took out his notebook and laptop to look up information, and made a phone call every now and then.

After about two hours, Wu Xie slumped into a chair and said to Xie Yuhua, "I have some ideas now, but I'm still confused. Xiao Hua, can you take a look at this map for me? I've been studying it for ages, but..."

As Wu Xie reached for the map, he accidentally spilled his coffee cup, instantly staining the map with coffee. In a panic, Wu Xie grabbed the newspaper, but unfortunately, the newspaper was too old, and it tore a large hole in it the moment he picked it up.
