Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 166

I let go of him and was about to slide down holding the trunk of the tree, but he pulled me back.

He pointed to the top and said: "Don't worry, wait until the sun comes out before going down, the miasma is still very thick." After speaking, he took out the pills made by the old Taoist priest from his bag, and handed me two. .

I threw the pill into my mouth, and watched the chirping birds flying by in groups above the tree, and none of them really wanted to come down and stop.The power of nature, mysterious and daunting.But I also admire Brother Ling's divine logic. In order to breathe fresh air as much as possible and reduce the impact of miasma, he even came up with the idea of ​​climbing to the top of the tree.

"Did you often live in the jungle?" After last night, I wanted to know more about his past, so I asked this question.

Unexpectedly, my question obviously made his hand that was about to hand me the food pause for a moment.There was a thump in my heart, "Is it impossible to ask this question?"

After he put the things in my hands, he fetched water.I looked at him who was silent, and my heart was very complicated. The most important thing for the two of us to get along is to be honest. If you can't ask about the past, then what happened last night and the decision I made are all sentimental again.Inevitably our relationship fell back to where it was.

Seeing that I looked very hurt and refused to eat, he sighed softly and said, "Zi Lin, I have a strange disease, and I forget the past every once in a while. So... ..." At this moment, he hesitated to avoid my eyes.

"So what?" Seeing his cautious appearance, I couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"If you regret it, I can understand." He lowered his head, his expression was a little lower than mine just now.

I felt a pain in my heart, I didn't expect him to be worried about this matter.So he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against him, gnawed on the crispy rice, and asked casually: "Then do you think I can't remember the past at all?"

He looked up at me sharply.

I smiled and asked again: "I can't remember at all, which is much more serious than intermittent amnesia! Because you may slowly remember something, and I am a person who has no past at all. If you regret Yes, I can too..."

"I won't regret it." He didn't wait for me to speak, but took my words.

From this sentence, there is no regret in death.I patted the back of his hand happily and said, "As long as you hold my hand tightly, no matter whether you remember me or not, I will take you home."

He froze for a moment, and then his eyes shimmered with a light that I had never seen before. It was probably the light of hope that a cold person like him seldom reveals!

He turned over the palm of his hand, clasped it tightly with my hand with his slender fingers, and stared at it for a long time, refusing to look away for a long time.

"Uh...how about we think of a code and engrave it on each other. If you really lose your memory, use this as a proof of our acquaintance?" After I was full, I began to think of some ideas.

"Well, that's fine too."

"What at that moment?" Seeing that the proposal was approved, I was very happy, so I drank two sips of water.

"Zi Lin is my wife!"

"Pfft." His words made me choke suddenly, I didn't expect this buddy to be so straightforward.

I barely stopped coughing, and quickly waved my hands and said, "No! This is too high-profile." In fact, what I thought in my heart was that there are too many words, and it would be too painful to engrave on my body.

"Don't you want to?" He patted me on the back to help me straighten out my anger.

I have a card, this idea is my own, if I retreat first, it would be uninteresting.Thinking of this, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, I am very willing. When we return to Hangzhou, we will find a reliable tattoo artist."

"Yeah." He nodded in satisfaction.

I thought to myself: "Since he wants to settle it so much, why doesn't he mention going to get the certificate directly? Isn't that more secure from a legal point of view?" But if I really want to get the certificate, I'm afraid I can't do it, because I don't know my household registration yet. Where?Since waking up, I have never found a chance to go back to Yunnan to find my relatives.

"Hey, do you know that I have relatives?" I asked him.

"..."

He glanced at me without answering.

I muttered, "Even you don't know! It seems that we still have to find a chance to go back."

When he heard me say this, his expression was a little weird, but before I could think about it, he had already pulled out a rope, tied it around my waist, and let me slide down slowly through the tree.He himself descended neatly along the trunk of the tree.After landing, he asked me to use the breathing method he taught to adjust my breath, so as to minimize the inhalation of gas in the forest.

I followed suit, so the two of them started a new day's itinerary.Brother Qiling said that there are games arranged to play today, but after walking all morning, he still hasn't seen any arrangements, and he didn't mention the game at all.

After lunch, I saw him standing in front of a small tree, picking the purple-black fruits on it.I couldn't help but rubbed against it and asked, "What are you using this for?"

After listening to my question, he handed over two small fruits and said, "Try it?"

I doubtfully threw the fruit into my mouth, and a sweet and sour taste instantly filled my taste buds. This fruit looks ugly, but it tastes very good, and the pulp is full, which is very thirst-quenching.I was a little addicted to eating, so I picked a few more by myself, and asked while eating, "What kind of fruit is this, it's quite delicious."

He looked at me, pursed his lips inexplicably, then stretched out his fingers to help me wipe the corners of my lips, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that I will play a game today, so that the mice will let go of their vigilance and take the bait?" , we need to put some bait.”

"Bait? What bait?"

He raised his eyebrows, just looked at me and didn't speak.

"...You mean to use me as bait?" I widened my eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

"Not only you, but also me." He said lightly.

"Then how?" I asked curiously.

He paused, and said with a half-smile: "Just eat this fruit and lie on the ground!"

"What? Why did you eat the fruit and then lie on the ground?" I was puzzled.

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that something was wrong with me, because from the reflection in his eyes, I saw something flowing out of the corner of my mouth?

So he wiped it with his hands, took out his phone, looked at the black screen, and gasped.I saw a very obvious trace of dark red juice at the corner of my mouth. Not only that, my white teeth were all dyed black and red, and when I grinned, I looked like a vampire who had just sucked blood, which was terrifying.

I threw the phone away, my face turned black, and I glared at Zhang Qiling fiercely, wondering why he didn't tell me earlier that it would look like this after eating the fruit?

He finally couldn't hold back, he smiled at me, and then said quietly: "If not, how would you know the effect?"

"Okay! You enjoyed experimenting with me, so now it's your turn?" As I said that, I picked some more fruits and sent them to his mouth.

He didn't dodge, and ate them all without paying attention.After eating the fruit, he said: "Actually, if you want me to become like you, you don't need to go through such trouble, just do it like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled me into his arms, then kissed my lips, biting and sucking lightly, turning sideways repeatedly.The fruity aroma and bright pulp color have been mixed together, it is impossible to tell whether it is from his mouth or mine.

I was kissed soft all over, and in terms of kissing skills, it can be said that I have made rapid progress.This time, I have already learned to breathe through stitches. What Brother Qi Ling said is right, practice makes perfect.If I didn't still have a sliver of reason in my heart, and felt that there were more important things to do, I would never push him away.

"What? Don't you already know how to inhale?" He didn't seem to want to end the question so quickly.

"Uh... I think we should still catch cats... No, it's more important to catch mice." I blushed, ignored his fiery eyes, squatted down and pretended to pick the fruit.

"You're already like this, what are you doing picking so many fruits?" Brother Qi Ling looked down at me, teasing me faintly.

"Oh oh oh... I really don't know what to do. Is it true that when couples are deeply in love, they always start kissing like this?"

I picked up the mountaineering pole and walked ahead first. In order to change the subject, I sighed: "Don't you care what you become?"

Brother Qiling didn't answer, I turned around and saw him marking a tree with a machete.After engraving, he replied: "Why do you care about this?"

I curled my lips and thought: "Sure enough, good-looking people can be willful."

After walking for another half day, until it was dusk, we found a flat place and set up a fire to cook as we did yesterday.Today my symptoms of poisoning are much lighter. I don’t know if it’s the old Taoist’s medicine or the breathing method taught by Brother Qi Ling.In short, it was another day in the woods without any surprises or dangers.

"When will the game start? I've been waiting for a day." During dinner, I couldn't help but ask.

"Start after you are full." Brother Qiling said, took out a shovel from his bag, dug a hole around our camp, spread branches on it, and sprinkled soil.

I never expected that he would use such a primitive method to catch people. The two of them looked at the thief and the refurbished mud, wouldn't they be able to detect the soft ground?

Brother Qiling seemed oblivious to my suspicions. After he finished, it was completely dark.At this time he took some more water, and completely extinguished the fire. As soon as the fire was extinguished, a cloud of smoke floated into the sky.He took out the fruit in his pocket, gave some to me, and said, "Here, fruit after dinner."

I only felt three slashes appearing on my forehead, you think this person is cold!Sometimes quite humorous.I reluctantly took the fruit, and complained, "You should say, come on, put on your makeup first."

After hearing this, he looked at the fruit and said seriously: "That's right, why don't you make up for it all, I'll just go to your place to rub a little bit later."

"No, I'll fix my makeup myself." I scolded him in my heart, and now I know that I'm playing a rogue when I get the chance.

"Well, it seems that you have given up the opportunity to study." After eating the fruit, he found a comfortable place to lie down, and then patted the place beside him, motioning for me to come over.

"???" I thought for a long time before I figured out what the hell was the learning opportunity he was talking about?

I reluctantly went over and lost interest in talking to him after lying down.He also let me.The two of us lay quietly for two hours and there was no movement. Finally, I couldn't help but asked softly: "If the mouse doesn't take the bait, what should we do?"

"Then let's really sleep!" Brother Qi Ling turned to face me and stroked my face.Through the remaining sparks, I saw the tenderness in his eyes.

"Is it possible that there is another soul hidden under his cold appearance, and this person who loves to play tricks on me and love to tease me is the real him?"

"Shh, someone is coming! Don't make any noise." After speaking, he readjusted his sleeping position.I also lay on my back, showing my face that looked like I was spitting blood as much as possible to the people who came.

Soon, there were two footsteps getting closer and closer, after wandering around our camp for a long time.Finally, one of them shone a dim light on my face, and then moved to the people around me.In the dark, we are like two people who have been poisoned and unconscious.

"Miss Zhang has been poisoned, what should I do?" In fact, a female voice asked another person in a low voice.

This sentence shocked me who was pretending to be dead. She not only knew me, but also seemed to care about me. What is the origin?

The author has something to say:

The old patriarch drove around in his car and was very funny and funny, but most of the time he didn't bother to speak.
