Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 32
The driver was a little unhappy, with bitter hatred on his face, as if the sky was falling, and shouted: "It's easy for me to earn this money! Is there any other way... Brothers, are you thinking about it?"

At this moment, the few of us are drenched in the cold rain, in a strange situation, and feel a little irritable. When he said this, I got angry and said, "Whether you want money or life, you choose one."

The driver said: "Of course it's fatal, no, but I want to ask...a question, do you have to sprinkle it all?"

"Cash, throw as much as you have."

Speaking of which, we are all used to using cards. This time, Tofu and I have about 2000 yuan in total, and Gu Wenmin also has [-] yuan in hand.The driver grimaced when he heard the words, and opened the cash box on the front of the car. It was almost full of scattered money, but the amount was considerable. It was estimated that there were at least more than [-], and the total cash was about [-].

Immediately, the four of us braved the rain and brought money, facing west, the place happened to be a cliff, and there was a dense forest under it, but at the moment it was dark, and the green forest disappeared, only blackness could be seen.

It is also very generous to say that I spend money, but it is the first time to throw money like this now, and at this time, I can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, let's try it.Immediately, in the cold rain and wind, the four of us waved our hands and threw out the cash on our bodies.

At this moment, the four of us were already drenched. The moment we finished throwing away the money, a bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the clouds, and the cold rain that was originally a big bean suddenly turned into a drizzle, which seemed to be decreasing.

Even the driver was stunned at this moment, he probably didn't expect it to be so effective, and the expression on his face suddenly became weird.

Gu Wenmin wiped the rain off his face, and said: "This method seems to be useful, let's go, let's see if we can drive out this time." The four of us didn't say much, we took dry clothes from our bags and changed into them, Leave the space in the car to Gu Wenmin, after packing, the driver started the car, and we started on the road again.

With the experience just now, everyone felt a lot more relaxed, but Gu Wenmin probably remembered what happened before, so he kept silent and refused to say a word again.Tofu and I watched the surrounding environment closely. For some reason, although the rain was lessening, the surroundings became darker and darker.Originally, we could still see the mountains in the distance, but at this moment, we seemed to have entered the night completely.

This kind of situation made people feel uncomfortable. It was different from the clouds and rain that I expected. As if to confirm my guess, the driver's speed suddenly increased and the car became more bumpy.

I couldn't help scolding my mother, saying that this driver is unreliable. He dared to drive so fast on such a dangerous mountain road and the road was full of water. I really don't know where his brain is short-circuited.

So I said, "Slow down, don't take us on a fucking adventure together." The driver didn't move, and as soon as I finished speaking, he suddenly lost his voice; "No, the brakes failed."

Brake failure?

Before I could react, I could just see the pale face of the driver in the rearview mirror in front of me, as if I had been greatly frightened. Then, our buttocks bumped heavily, and the wheels made a harsh sound. The car deviated from the route and flew towards the cliff on our right.

"Ah!" Everyone in the car screamed, including myself. The scene of rushing towards the cliff was too scary and exciting.

First it flew into the air, followed by weightlessness, and then there was a loud bang. Everyone in the car fell into a mess. Too chaotic and terrifying, at that moment, people's minds are blank.

During the violent turbulence, our limbs, including our brains, kept colliding with various things in the car. In the end, I passed out with blood all over my head. The hero burst into tears.Unexpectedly, the mushroom was not dug up, but died in this ghost gate.Then everything is unknown.

I don’t know how long I have been in a coma. When I woke up, I found that Tofu was treating my wound. Not far away was the deformed vehicle we had fallen, and the surrounding area was still dark and scary.

The driver fell and passed out, Gu Wenmin also had blood on his forehead, and had several scratches on his body.Tofu was lucky, his head was fine, and there were only a few scratches on his body.Only I was the most unlucky, my head was hit quite badly, besides the abrasions on my body, my hamstring seemed to be sprained, and it hurt when I moved.

I remember that when the car flew down the cliff, I subconsciously pressed Tofu and Gu Wenmin who were sitting next to me to the bottom. It seems that this really played a role, and neither of them was seriously injured.

We didn't have any wound medicine in our bag. No one expected such a thing to happen. Tofu turned around in a hurry and his eyes were red. Said: "Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about. I'm fine. Go to the side of the car and see if you can take out our bag. There are clothes in it. I remember that there are spare cold medicines and anti-inflammatory medicines. Find a way Get it out."

Tofu has always had few tendons. When I fainted, he couldn't find the north at all. After listening to my instructions, he immediately calmed down and went to the car to look for something.The car was already deformed, and Tofu wasted a lot of effort, and finally rescued the backpacks of the three of us.Except for the unconscious driver, several of us ate a few mouthfuls of the bread we brought along the road, took anti-inflammatory drugs, and tore off our clothes to bandage the wound, so we were relieved.

Doufu was covered in sweat, he hissed, and said, "Grandma, I was scared to death, I thought I was going to report to Lord Yan." The driver was only bruised, probably knocked unconscious.

At this moment, we looked up and saw that the cliff that fell was full of smooth rocks, and it was so dark that we couldn’t see clearly. If we wanted to climb up, without any insurance measures, we were looking for death.

Tofu said again: "What should we do now?"

Gu Wenmin looked pale, but she had calmed down and looked very strong. She looked around and suggested: "This jungle is in the same direction as the Panshan Road. Let's go forward and we will definitely be able to get out. It's just..." She pointed to the driver, then to the three of us, and said: "Our situation is not optimistic now, and this time the brakes failed, which is really strange, and I have a very bad feeling." Her slender With a slight frown on his eyebrows and a tight lip line, he shook his head at us.

I held on to a tree next to me and tried to stand up. One of my legs hurt badly. It wasn't a bone problem, it should be a hamstring injury.

Tofu said, "I can carry you behind my back."

Gu Wenmin shook her head and said: "No, you carry him." She pointed to the driver, and said: "He is completely unconscious and can only rely on someone's back. I will support Chen Xuan, don't underestimate me, I usually carry the driver's back." The photographic equipment weighed more than 30 kilograms."

At this moment, I have to rejoice that although something happened this time, fortunately Tofu is fine and can take care of us, and Gu Wenmin didn't hold back, otherwise we would really be unable to move forward.

After the discussion, we packed up our things and prepared to move forward. Gu Wenmin supported me. She was tall and only a head shorter than me, so it was just right to lean on her.

Tofu went to get the driver, and when he was doing it, something suddenly fell out of the driver's pocket. When Tofu saw it, he jumped three feet in anger, and said, "I said, why is it so unlucky to throw money away? This kid is embezzling."

What fell out was a stack of hundred-yuan bills. I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I saw it. I guess the driver was stingy and took a chance to throw out the loose change. He secretly hid some of the hundred-yuan bills himself.

One Buddha with tofu gas was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. I also felt a little angry in my heart. I thought: If according to my usual temper, this person will suffer on his own, and the three of us will be implicated. He fends for himself.It's just that with Tofu's previous reminder, I have begun to intentionally control my temper.Furthermore, I faintly felt that the bad luck on this trip might not be due to a coincidence, but because of my low luck because of the curse. Perhaps, it wasn't the driver who caused us trouble.

It's my luck that hurts everyone who is with me.

So I said to Tofu: "Stop scolding, the incident has already happened, just carry him on your back and go." Tofu has always been soft-hearted. With a flashlight, in the night rain, I followed the trend of the winding mountain road above to find my way.

This place is overgrown with weeds and dense forests, and the soil is sticky due to the rain. Gu Wenmin may have been walking around carrying photographic equipment all year round. His figure looks thin, but in fact he is quite strong. Although he is out of breath, he can hold on to me live.I felt a little sorry, and walked for about an hour, and felt that the injured foot was a little better, so I started to move on my own.

In the dark, I looked at the watch on my wrist. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, but we were completely in the dark.
