【Bottle Evil】Tomb Raider

I looked at the fat man, knowing that the fat man would not joke about this kind of thing, so I tapped on his arm with Knock Knock: Tell me in detail.

Fatty replied: These are the original words of Old Liu when he went crazy.

I used to think that Lao Liu fainted when he saw Zhang Haike. Was it not because he saw Zhang Haike, but because he saw Brother Zhang?

But Zhang Haike had only brought him to the village the first day, and Lao Liu had no chance to see him at all.

Unless, I think of a possibility, Brother Zhang actually came to the village in advance and was seen by Lao Liu, and some unbelievable things happened at that time, so he will be left to Lao Liu as a "ghost". impression.

This seems to be a reasonable explanation, but due to Poker's relationship and the long memory brought to me by those illusions, I still can't convince myself to regard Brother Zhang as an "enemy" against us.

Of course, it may also be Lao Liu's nonsense.This old Liu was also delirious, and Pokerfing had watched him fall into the cave. He was fine before he fell in, so he must have encountered something in the cave.

Fatty and I also groped into the cracked hole one after another. Pork and his flashlights were in front, and there was nothing wrong for the time being.

I noticed that the corridor we were in at this time was also very similar to the one we entered. It was not formed naturally, but was dug out artificially.

If this is not a mausoleum, then it is a mysterious underground world developed by unknown tribes.And according to the legend told by Poker Face, nine times out of ten it corresponds to the mysteriously disappeared village.

Perhaps the village did not disappear, but was hidden inside the mountain.Those who stayed behind to clean the corridors and stone statues may be the descendants of the villagers.

"What's going on in this hole?" Fatty asked me, "There are so many rice dumplings in the back, have you touched them all?"

I kept pointing the flashlight in the direction of Poker Bottle, and saw him moving quickly in the corridor, not like he was groping, but more like he was moving towards a definite goal.I said to the fat man, "I haven't figured out anything, you can ask him." I tapped the back of Poker Bottle with a flashlight.

Brother Zhang turned around and said to us: "I heard that you have a very good relationship with the patriarch, and you have been through life and death several times. Why don't you understand what he wants to do?"

"Our little brother can think whatever he likes. Is it useful for you just to know what he thinks?" Fatty said a little excitedly, "Were you there when our brother and he were going through life and death? None of your Zhang family was there. The relationship is so important." You can’t just say something with your mouth, you have to reach out.”

These two people talked like Gong Dou, I really couldn't take it, but I saw Brother Zhang showed a regretful expression: "I have other important things to do." He said with a sigh, "I've been looking for him for so many years, you can't imagine it."

I once again realized that Brother Zhang is somewhat different from other Zhang family members. He has lived for more than a hundred years, but he cares about time.Every member of the Zhang family was born with a family mission, and they have to do their best to fulfill it in the long years, which even constitutes the only meaning in their lives.The Zhang family has a long lifespan. Compared with ordinary people, what they lack most is time, so most of them are calm-headed and thoughtful. They will quietly watch the people passing by slowly age, watching The world changes slowly, and then at the right time, do what needs to be done.

I'm not sure what brother Zhang wants to do, maybe Poker knows.

But I have an intuition that in Xiao Zhang's long life, there is not only the mission entrusted to him by the Zhang family.So he cares about time, maybe there used to be some short but beautiful things that made him lament the passage of time like an ordinary person.

If there is a chance, I would like to hear the story of Brother Zhang.

The fat man seemed not interested, and said, "Who wants you to look for it? After searching for so many years, you haven't found it. Don't you have any clues in your heart?"

Brother Zhang seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, and asked Poker Fing directly: "Patriarch, are you avoiding me on purpose?"

Poker-Face didn't answer him, so I smiled at him: "He doesn't necessarily avoid you, but he spends 360 days a year, maybe [-] days like this, in the dark. Even if I wait for you to find it, it won't be so easy to find it. How many of you? Where did you find him?"

Little Brother Zhang said: "I'm the only one. You don't understand, the Zhang family is no longer the Zhang family of the past. When the war was in chaos, only people like me who have worked with the patriarch will continue to trust him and go to him."

This little brother Zhang didn't see anything else, but he was really loyal to Zhang Qiling.It's not easy to find someone for so many years.

Wait, alone?Suddenly something flashed through my mind, and I thought something was wrong, the last time Brother Zhang saw me, he was not "alone".

The moment this idea was formed, I reached out and reached for Xiao Zhang's neckline.Even if I didn't expect it, Brother Zhang was very responsive. He avoided it sideways, while protecting his neckline with one hand, and turned his head to look at me in surprise: "Wu Xie, what are you doing? I'm a serious person."

The fat man suddenly understood, he said "bah", and said: "Pretend to be like a dog, I don't know if it's serious or not."

Poker Ping and Zhang Haike also stopped to look at us, I stared into little Brother Zhang's eyes and asked him, "Where's your snake?"

I clearly remember that when I hooked his shoulders last time in Beijing, there were scales shining on his neckline, and he also claimed that he had something for protection, which was probably a snake hidden in his clothes.I don't know if that snake has anything to do with the boy named Snake Zu who I "possessed" in the illusion back then. What is certain is that it should be the "bodyguard" hidden by Brother Zhang, but when the fat man came , they wrestled together, but the snake did not appear.

Brother Xiao Zhang didn't care at all, he said confidently: "My snake, I can let it go wherever I like, what does it have to do with you."

The fat man persisted: "If I can't tell you, Fatty, I have reason to suspect that you are a counterfeit."

It's not a fake, I thought to myself, after all, Poker Ping didn't say anything, if Brother Zhang had a problem, Poker Ping would be the first to spot it.Fatty took the opportunity to suppress Xiao Zhang's arrogance, and I was also happy to fan the flames.

Poker-face looked at us, and finally said to brother Zhang, "When will the snake come back?"

When I heard it, it meant to rule out Xiao Zhang's suspicion. Not only did Xiao Zhang have a snake, but the snake was released, and Boyouping knew this situation well.

Looking at Fatty, both of them pretended not to know who spoke just now.

Brother Zhang snorted, then turned to Poker Bottle and said, "Under normal circumstances, he should be back, but he hasn't yet. Maybe there is a problem in the front hole."

Poker-Face nodded, turned around and continued to explore the way.

I didn't expect Brother Xiao Zhang's snake to have this kind of effect. I would have brought Brother Xiao Man here to see who is more powerful.I said to the fat man.

The fat man whispered to me: "Give me some face, don't make things difficult for my little brother."

What is there for him to embarrass, I thought to myself, Poker-Face has never put in effort to mediate interpersonal relationships.

The fat man sighed: "Generally, the relationship between a daughter-in-law and her husband's family is tense, and the most difficult thing to deal with is her husband."

What the hell is this analogy, I cursed, and then looked at the direction of Poker Bottle, it was a turn.

As we followed, we felt that the air had become humid, and the water vapor hit our faces.

After walking a little further, Poker Ping suddenly stood still, and he turned to look at us: "Here we are."

I saw a light not far in front of me, followed it, and walked to the side of Poker Bottle, and suddenly saw a bright light, and the fat man let out a "huh".

This is a huge cave, and it seems like a city.

Our current location is still inside the mountain, but this place seems to have been hollowed out by something.Although the mountain has been hollowed out, there is nothing empty in front of us. There are countless stone houses layered on top of each other and scattered in front of us.

These stone houses are connected to each other, from the ground to the mountain wall, and the outermost stone house is connected to the mountain, as if these stone houses are all grown out of the mountain.

There are many vines on the walls and roofs of the stone houses. These vines also come from the mountain. They wrap the stone houses like a big green net.

Looking up, I can see that the top of the cave is not completely sealed, but there are several openings like skylights. Although the openings are also covered by vines, the outside skylight still leaks through.

Along with the light falling, there is also fine and dense rain.The rain outside has lightened, and the sun seems to have come out. The weather in Yucun is unpredictable, and it will occasionally rain like this.So those bunches of shining rain hit the stone houses and vines.The vines that were hit by the light and rain also shone with green light, like large expanses of gemstones and emeralds spread on the stone house city.

The falling rainwater finally gathered on the ground, along the narrow streets in the stone house city, also shining brightly and flowing to the distance that we can't see clearly.

Although this should be a dark cave, what we see now seems to be a paradise.
