Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 189-Awakening

By the time I woke up, it was already dawn.The morning light came in through the gaps in the curtains, as if bringing hope.The light on the bedside table was still on, a bit dazzling, I squinted my eyes, recalling what happened last night like a nightmare.As soon as he turned his head, he saw Wu Xie leaning on the chair, sleeping soundly.And the fat brother was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, snoring loudly.

My nose was sore, and two tears slipped out.What happened last night was true. Brother Qiling wasn't here, but they still guarded me and treated me like a family member. Maybe I should cheer up and reassure them.Thinking of this, I patted Wu Xie's hand lightly. He was a light sleeper and woke up immediately.

"Zilin, are you awake? How do you feel?" Wu Xie rubbed her sleepy eyes, seeing that I wanted to get up, she hurried over to help me.

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I've been through so much, I've been able to see it for a long time." I lowered my head, adjusted my mood, and said, "I'm tired of you, take the fat brother back and sleep for a while." Come on! It's still early."

Wu Xie kept staring at my face, trying to figure out something from my expression.I urged with a wry smile: "Don't look, I'm really fine, save me a meat bun for breakfast, don't let the fat guy eat it all."

Seeing that my appetite had recovered, Wu Xie felt a little relieved. He got up and patted Fat Brother and said, "Fatty, let's go! Go back to sleep in your own room, it's too noisy."

The fat brother got up in a daze, and obediently followed him out the door.I couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Fat Brother still looks like this when he's relaxing. He's so obedient and easy to control. This is the time to ask him for money next time.

After they left, I opened the curtains. As the saying goes, the autumn wind is bleak, and it should be a withered scene everywhere, but what I still see now is a continuous green grassland full of vitality, and my mood has really improved a lot.It seems that the designer of this house not only knows how to get along with nature, but is also a person who loves life.

Probably because of his influence, I chose to take a comfortable bath to relax myself.Then she sat in front of the dressing table, ready to put on some light makeup, and her complexion would look better.Only after looking in the mirror did I find that there was a black bruise printed on the right forehead, presumably it was knocked down when I fainted yesterday, as if I was thrown away on my wedding day, and I didn’t think I was miserable enough, so it made me suffer again.

"Forget it, everyone is gone, who will show it?" I muttered, and went downstairs.

Fat Brother and Wu Xie were eating breakfast around the dining table, chatting while eating.I heard Fat Brother's loud voice before entering the restaurant, and he said: "In my opinion, it's better to tell her everything before, so as not to be in a dilemma."

"No, my little brother must have told her not to tell her about the past, have you forgotten how she lost her memory?" Wu Xie resolutely objected.

The two seemed to be arguing about me, so I stopped to hear what else they had to say.

"Hey, naive, what do you think that woman said to my brother, so that I didn't even get married and ran away? You analyze it." Some notes, but I still have no trouble listening.But Wu Xie seemed much more cautious.

He didn't answer, but dipped his finger in some tea and wrote a word on the table, but he didn't know what it was.The fat brother was surprised, and shouted: "Hey, I knew that the grandson was playing tricks, he..." Just as the fat brother wanted to say more, Wu Xie covered his mouth and pointed at him. upstairs.

The fat brother nodded understandingly, and asked again: "Is the little brother in danger?"

Wu Xie pondered for a while, and said, "Probably not! The other party just wanted him to help with something." Then the two stopped talking and concentrated on eating.I leaned against the door, and after a few minutes, I heard the sound of scrambling inside again, so I found a suitable time to go in.

"Fatty, this is for Zi Lin, you're almost done." Wu Xie held up a plate full of steamed stuffed buns, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw me come in, and sighed: "You can count it down, if you don't come, I will But I can’t protect your meat buns anymore.”

I smiled, pointed at the big plate, and said helplessly: "I said save one for me, not for you. Fat brother likes to eat meat buns the most. If you don't give any, can he not grab it?" .”

Wu Xie glared at Fat Brother, and retorted: "He hasn't eaten anywhere, he has eaten two or three and hasn't eaten yet."

Fat Brother smiled embarrassedly, and explained to me: "There are only three, not enough to fit my teeth."

I took one out of the plate, and pushed the rest in front of him, echoing: "Isn't it, three are not enough to fit my teeth!"

The three sat down again, and I glanced at the handwriting written by Wu Xie just now, but he wiped it off with his sleeve calmly.Both of them were watching me carefully as they ate, which made me very uncomfortable.

I coughed lightly, put down the glass of milk and said, "Are you two doing nothing today?"

Wu Xie laughed and replied: "Not really, I just want to spend more time with you. There are many beautiful scenic spots behind this mountain, and I will show you there later!"

"Yes, yes! I'm going too. It's rare that Mr. Wu is willing to be a tour guide. My Changsha handicap doesn't make much money, so it's not worth the effort. Anyway, with Mr. Wu's cover, it won't close down!" The fat brother started to talk about Wu Xie, Wu Xie glanced at him, and threw an unpeeled boiled egg at him, which was easily taken by the fat brother.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm really tired. I don't want to go out to play today. I just saw some interesting Buddhist scriptures in the study. I plan to read them at home today!" I rejected their proposal with a smile.

"Sister, don't think about becoming a monk! I told you that my brother will definitely marry you. He only has you in his heart, so don't be impulsive." Fat brother stood up excitedly and yelled at me loudly.

When the fat guy said me, I was drinking milk. As soon as I said this, I took a deep breath. I waved my hand at him quickly, and said while coughing: "...how...it's possible! You...think too much .”

"It's better, otherwise you'll shave all your hair. My little brother came back and saw a nun. I don't want to marry or not. It's not easy for me and your naive brother..." Fatty said with a smile.

"No, I'm really fine. I just want to calm down and read the book. I often feel troubled because I know too little of the truth. If I know more, I will be smarter and more transparent, right?" I stared at the book. they both asked.

Wu Xie looked at me suspiciously and remained silent.The fat brother couldn't help cursing: "Fart, I haven't read a few books, and I'm still happy every day without any troubles. If you want to say that you are smart and transparent! Few people can compare with me, You, you just read too many books and learned too many principles, so your ideas became too complicated, and you made things difficult for yourself."

Fat Brother's words left me speechless, he was indeed right, maybe the wisdom is not all in the books.Some people are born with the wisdom root of great wisdom and stupidity.

After breakfast, they went out at my repeated request, and each went about their own affairs.I was locked in the study room and immersed in the world of Buddhism. The Buddhists said: All dharmas arise due to conditions, and I say that they are caused by conditions;

It's a pity that my destiny depends entirely on a single obsession.At this point, no matter how advanced the Buddhist principles are, it must be impossible to explain clearly. Why are there such twists and turns?If it is true that there is a predestined relationship, how should the Buddhist principles be crossed?

Reading the Buddhist scriptures was boring. In the afternoon, I took another bottle of wine and ran to the garden. I sat by the tombs of the three yesterday and looked at them carefully.It turned out that the two uncles of the Wu family that Fat Brother mentioned meant Wu Xie’s second and third uncles. They were lying here quietly, and there was a tomb next to the dumb sister. I heard that she was the confidante of the third uncle. A confidant is also an infatuated woman.

The three tombs were kept clean and there were no weeds around them.Chrysanthemums of various colors are planted on both sides. It is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so the fragrance here is extremely strong.

I made a toast to each of them, no matter whether they were acquaintances or not, in short, they are speechless now.Just treat them as my audience and listen to my chatter!

"I'm sorry to disturb the three of you! I really can't find a drinking partner, so I want you to accompany me. I don't know if you like this wine. If you don't like it, you can entrust it to me in your dreams at night. I'll change it for you tomorrow." I babbled and took a sip myself, then poured some on the ground.

The old butler poked his head in from a distance to take a look, knowing that I was in a bad mood, so he didn't come in to disturb me, shook his head and walked away alone.I picked up the wine bottle and drank a few more sips. Facing the golden color everywhere, I couldn't help saying: "It's not that I prefer chrysanthemums among flowers, and there are no flowers when all these flowers bloom."

"Sure enough, people who like chrysanthemums have very good eyes. Tell me, you pinpin, am I such a person? Ah?" I was three-point drunk, and my heart began to open slowly. I followed the three graves and chatted. started his own business.

"I'm the person! I've been living up to now is just one word, sad reminder. Hey, no, it's two words!" I corrected with my fingers, "I won't mention the things before amnesia, I am so sick that I want to die, amnesia Afterwards, it got better, and ended up falling in love with someone I shouldn't love. After all, I confirmed my mutual intentions and wanted to marry him, but he left me and left. Tell me, what did I do wrong? What? Now I have some inexplicable disease again, and I may come down to be with you at any time, and then don’t think I’m noisy, I’ve reserved the open space over there. If you don’t agree, feel free to complain to Wu Xie in a dream , but I’m sure I can convince him.”

I raised my head and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp. I just felt that the wine was very enjoyable when I said what was on my mind.But I didn't expect that the wine was smooth, but the aftertaste was so strong that it didn't take long for me to collapse on the ground like mud. When the petals of chrysanthemums were scattered on my face, I didn't even have the strength to lift my hand to wipe them away. .

In the end, it might be the old housekeeper who found someone to carry me back, or Wu Xie and Fat Brother. Anyway, I have no memory at all, and I don't care about such details.All I know is that I had no dreams that night and slept very well.

The next morning, I walked to the door of the restaurant and heard Wu Xie say to Fat Brother: "Zi Lin is too bitter in her heart, let's pretend to go out today and let her vent in the way she likes!"

Fat Brother nodded and said nothing.I was very moved. It turned out that because they were worried about me, they didn't really have to leave, but just pretended to go out.

I opened the door and went in, scaring them both into silence.I couldn't help laughing and said: "I already know the painstaking efforts of the two of you. I drank the wine happily yesterday, and my uncle and aunt accompanied me to persuade me. It's really fine now. You can do your own things, don't worry about me. I'm worried."

"Sister, it's early in the morning, can you stop being scary?" The fat brother gave me a sideways glance, not sure if he was talking about my sudden appearance or referring to me.

"Zilin, are you really alright?" Wu Xie asked again worriedly.

"It's all right! It's not a major event that will collapse the world. If the marriage fails, we will get married next time! It's no big deal. I'm still young anyway. I hope that the two of you will hold him no matter what next time, and we can't do it again." Let him go." I laughed to myself.

"Hey, you're right if you think so! It seems that reading the Buddhist scriptures was not in vain, and I didn't drink any wine yesterday. My sister finally figured it out." The fat man threw the bun in his hand into his mouth, and couldn't stop praise me.

After Wu Xie tried again and again worriedly, seeing that my mood had indeed improved a lot, she felt relieved and went out with Fat Brother.I took the book alone and found a grassy slope to bask in the sun. Because I was afraid that the two elder brothers would return to the carbine, I deliberately walked a little farther, so far that I could hardly see the house.

The earth is quiet and beautiful, with the fragrance of green grass. I covered my face with the book, and after a while, I felt tired.But at this time, there were clear footsteps in my ears. Logically, there were no footsteps on the straw mat. I could hear it, which meant that he was very close to me.

Before I opened the book, the man squatted down, took the book from my face, and gently called my name in a familiar tone.

I opened my eyes, just in time to meet senior Xiao Rong's bright eyes, and thought: "You have finally appeared!

The author has something to say:

Wu Xie and Fatty really dote on their younger sisters, I want to beat a brother like that too!
