Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 544 Waiting
Everyone walked along the river bank all the way, and from a distance, they could already see the third bend. From the third bend, the cliffs on both sides suddenly gathered together, forming a canyon, and the water flow in the middle was affected Affected by the narrow terrain, the stable posture changed, and the white waves turned into white waves and torrents. Even if they were not close, they could still hear the rumbling sound of water.

Xiao Yu walked up to me and asked the mute how to cross the river in a low voice. The mute raised his eyelids and said, "Go there first." He didn't look very worried, as if he was quite sure.After this morning's rest, the state of the mute seems to have improved a lot. I was sweating profusely with him on my back, and I couldn't hold it anymore. It's gone." I let go of my hand, and the mute immediately jumped down, stood on the spot and stretched his muscles and bones, only to hear a crackling sound in his joints, and seeing that he was moving freely, it seemed that there was no serious problem.

Everyone ate something on the spot, replenished their strength, and continued on the road.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the road in front of us was completely cut off, and the Wanren cliff rose up from the ground, lying in front of us, and it was completely cut off.But at this moment, on the left hand side, there is the Nujiang River with white waves and two natural dangers in front of it. When you look at it, you are daunting and afraid to move forward.

Standing by the river at this moment, the water mist splashed from the river rushed towards my face. After standing for a long time, my whole body was wet.

Not to mention rafts, even motor boats can't get through this rushing river, and the cliffs on the side are even more difficult for apes to climb. How can we get over it?I looked at the mute, and found that he was sitting on a big rock, staring at the river thoughtfully. At first I thought he was trying to find a way, but later I realized that this kid had lost his mind.

The dumb can still be distracted?

I was taken aback for a moment, then quickly patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking?"

The mute raised his head, looked at me, and said coldly, "Why haven't you left yet?"

I'm already used to his irritating way of speaking, so I shrugged and said, "If I leave, how will I see you digging out Chen Ci's body?" The mute frowned slightly upon hearing this, It was so fast that I almost thought it was my own illusion, and then I heard him say: "Then you just follow."

After speaking, he continued to look at the river.I found that the mute had a good temper today, so after thinking about it, I took this opportunity to ask: "Lu Su...what happened?"

The mute's dark and cold eyes suddenly flicked, and he said, "What are you so concerned about him for? Forgot about being almost killed by him in the Xuanbing Tomb?" It was an insult to him, and the sudden two rhetorical questions in a row really surprised me.I know in my heart that today is a good opportunity. The state of the mute seems to be different from usual. I don't know why there is such a change, but it is always good to inquire about more news while taking advantage of this time.

So I said: "Of course I remember, the one surnamed Lu slandered me not only at the Xuanbing Tomb. To be honest, he was deeply scheming. I feel ashamed. He has already made several mistakes. Of course I don't care about him so much. I am worried about his life and death, but the information in his hand... Without his information, my chances of winning will be greatly reduced, and don’t forget how Chen Ci died.”

The last sentence obviously touched the mute, he tilted his head slightly, and said: "Information..." He bit these two words in his mouth, but did not give any further response, then got up and walked to Xiaoyu's side , I don't know what to say.After a while, Xiaoyu and the others unloaded their equipment one after another, piled up the equipment bags, and pitched a tent.I was a little surprised, because it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not time to set up camp at all.

Is the mute going to spend the night here tonight?
Is there any way for him to cross the river?

Just as I was thinking, Xiao Yu walked up to me, patted my shoulder, and said, "Wu Shui asked us to build a big raft and cross the river at night."

"Crossing the river at night?" I asked in amazement, "Is there any difference between crossing the river during the day and crossing the river at night? A raft can't handle a single wave, right?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and said that the dumb man didn't explain, but she was doing things for others, so don't ask so many questions, what the higher-ups say, and what the lower-level ones do.After a pause, he said again: "It seems that Wu Shui doesn't intend to drive you away. If that's the case, just watch with peace of mind. If you mix too much, it's not good."

Xiaoyu and I are already familiar with each other. Except for the identity of Mr. Bai, who refuses to reveal, he doesn't shy away from talking about anything else.Immediately, except for Bai Zhanji and Li Fatty, the rest of us began to cut down suitable trees to make a raft. Since there were more people this time, the raft was made bigger. Everyone was busy until six or seven o'clock in the evening. .Heizi went to get some fish, chiselled a stone pot and put it on the fire, and gave us a pot of fish soup.

Although there is no salt, there are many natural spices in the mountains. Heizi sat in a pot and saw the fish soup was emerald green. It is fragrant and fresh, with a faint hot and sour taste.Everyone has been eating compressed biscuits and chewing dried meat for the past two days. Their stomachs are dry and their mouths are not good.At this moment, a pot of fish soup was hot and tasted delicious, so I couldn't bear it anymore, I folded wooden sticks into chopsticks, washed stone slices to serve as dishes, and started to eat immediately.

However, there are more wolves and less meat, a group of old men, with different camps during the day, it is inevitable that swords are on the verge of tension, and the atmosphere is not right. But just call your mother.

Lei Zi scolded Feng Guishou: "Damn, Feng, your speed is too fast, you belong to the rabbit!" The pair of wooden chopsticks in the ghost's hand were like a show, with accurate eyesight and extremely fast speed. When he stretched out and scooped up, all the good things went into his bowl, and everyone was so angry that they scolded their mothers.

Feng Guishou smiled sinisterly, bared his white teeth, and said, "I'm a tiger." Heizi was very happy to see that the fish soup he made was so popular, but when he saw that everyone was about to fight over a pot of fish soup, he immediately terrified.

The mute sat on the side, unmoved, and stared at us coldly. My heart moved, I picked up some fish and sent it to him, and said: "Don't lose face, eat some, or you will be constipated if you eat compressed biscuits every day. .”

I noticed a slight change in the mute's cold face. Although the change was very subtle, I still caught it. Suddenly, I felt that the mute was not as cold as he appeared on the surface. Don't be ashamed to come together with our group of people.I laughed secretly, and was about to speak when the dumb man said, "Get lost."

I had already figured out his temper, and said: "I can get out, but you have to eat too. You watch us while we eat, and you say that if you are really my father, wouldn't I be abusing the elderly?"

The mute frowned, looked at me, and said coldly: "I don't know, you can be so thick-skinned."

I smiled and said: "This can be regarded as my advantage. When the skin should be thick, it is definitely not thin. The ancients said: A gentleman is like water, he can bend and bend, he can be high and low, he can be majestic and soft, he can be small and startling." Waves." The mute took a look at me, and said lightly, "I will let you see what is majestic and soft." Before I could understand what I meant, the mute took the food in my hand and ate it silently. up.

After a while, everyone was full of food and drink, the stone pot was clean, there was no soup left, the mute still had no plans, and camped on the bank of the river, the humidity was heavy, and the rumble of the water made it difficult to sleep peacefully.I don't know what the mute is thinking, but now he doesn't say anything, everyone can only take a step and watch. After a day of running around, they get into the tent and sleep separately. Only the mute seems to be thinking about something. Sitting by the fire all the time, his straight back remained motionless, as if he looked at it for a long time, like a statue.

I couldn't help but wonder what the presentation would be like.If he is more cold and arrogant than the mute, then with whom did he give birth to me.

Who is my mother?
When I think of the scene where Chen Ci is holding a baby, I feel incomplete and out of tune, and I can't help but wonder if I picked it up.

Thinking about something like this, I fell asleep in a daze. In my sleep, I only felt the sound of the water booming, which made it difficult to sleep deeply. I kept having some half-waking dreams. In my tent, something was vaguely said to me, but when I opened my eyes with difficulty, the surrounding was dark.

The bonfire outside came through, and I found a photocopy of a person on the tent, straight and motionless, I looked at the watch on my wrist in amazement, it was already two o'clock in the morning, I remembered that before falling asleep, it was the dumb man sitting that location.

He hasn't moved yet?

What does this kid want?

Tired yourself out?

In amazement, I felt something was wrong again, and there seemed to be some changes around me.I lifted the tent and looked at the mute. He noticed the movement, turned his head to look at me, and continued to stare at the campfire.I looked around, and there was no change in the tent, nor did the mute, everything seemed to be as usual.

But why do I feel that something is wrong?

After a while, I suddenly realized that it was a voice.

The sound of the roaring water during the day suddenly became smaller now, almost inaudible.

I suddenly remembered the unclear words that the mute said during the day: I will let you see what is majestic and soft.
