Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 624
This farce ended here, I got down from the tree and went back to the camp, the lazy guy yawned and walked slowly behind.When they returned to the camp, everyone was already outside the tent, obviously awakened by the gunfire and the howling of wolves.

Master Hu didn't look at me, but stared at the lazy guy with a frown, and said in a deep voice, "What did you do again?"

The lazy guy said: "It's just clearing out the followers behind us." He walked into the tent and fell asleep. After a while, there was a slight snoring sound.Under Master Hu's questioning, I told what happened in the middle of the night. Tofu was stunned and said, "Killed two people? And... attracted wolves?" He frowned forcefully , Said: "How can this be..."

I just felt exhausted physically and mentally, so I went back to the tent and lay down without saying any more.After a while, Tofu also walked in, and it seemed that it was a shift change.He was lying next to me, tossing and turning, not sleeping. After a while, he got up and said to me: "Old Chen, tell me, how could he... kill people like this?"

I said: "It doesn't matter, we just need to live anyway, he can kill whoever he likes, as much as he likes, harming others and benefiting himself, isn't that how people in this world are? What are you worrying about?" Tofu listens to me like this As soon as I said it, I couldn't help but hissed, turned on the flashlight, pointed straight at my face, and said, "No, Lao Chen, you haven't said such a thing before. Although what you said has some truth, people All because of their own interests, to reject or hurt other things, but there are still many good people in this world. Like you."

I was a little surprised, and said, "Am I a good person?"

Tofu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although you are perverted and your psychology is getting more and more distorted, you are the best person to me. Don't you also wholeheartedly treat Miss Gu? See how much Miss Gu likes you. Hmm... For some people, such as those guests who were slaughtered by you, and those surnamed Lu, you are definitely not a good person, but people are not money, how can everyone like it, I think we just need to be worthy of people who treat us well gone."

After being lectured by Tofu, the heavy things in my heart faded a little, and I said, "Okay, go to sleep, the people in our team are not simple characters, so be careful in everything this time, that lazy bastard, You also try to deal with him as little as possible." Tofu nodded again and again, and we fell asleep.

The next day, everyone still packed their things early, ate some dry food and set off on the road.The second half of last night was very quiet. If the people of the Guo family were upset and wanted to continue, they probably showed up in the second half of last night. If they haven’t seen anyone yet, it means that they probably gave up on this operation as the lazy people planned. .

Last night, because my heart was too stimulated, I didn't think about some things for a while, but now I feel that something is wrong.If the lazy guy is really as ruthless and insensitive as he appears, why not just wait for Master Hu to follow the original plan to lure the enemy deep, and then deal with those people?Why do you want to let them go in advance?

Thinking about it from another angle, it looks like a lazy guy trying to protect the Guo family.

Once this thought popped up, I couldn't suppress it no matter what.The lazy guy walked last all the way, he moved slowly, his eyes were half-closed, and he tripped and staggered from time to time, as if he was about to fall down at any time.Tofu looked back frequently, and probably couldn't figure out how such a person could be the same person as the one I said killed without blinking an eye.

While watching, Tofu shook his head and said, "Sure enough, you can't judge people by their appearance. If you didn't say this, I wouldn't believe that this kid who can fall while walking would be so cruel." After what happened last night, everyone It was quite silent, Mr. Hu walked in the front, the big yellow duck didn't say a word, and the rest of the lazy people walked last in a drowsy state. Only Tofu couldn't help but say a few words, but after a while, he also felt boring.Not long after, the mountain began to descend, and I knew that this was the first ravine I had crossed.

Looking down, the slope of the valley is very steep. Since no one has ever entered, there is no road on the hillside, so we had to take out the machete and cut the road.Due to the thick soil and water in this place, the humidity is very heavy, so the stones are covered with moss, and it is very slippery to walk on.That lazy guy wobbled along the way, and when he was going downhill, he accidentally got caught. His foot slipped, and he suddenly yelled and fell down, slipping directly beside Tofu and me.

Tofu exclaimed subconsciously: "Damn, I fell again." This time, he rolled from top to bottom, and his feet were full of rocks. If he fell, he would die in serious cases.Master Hu was unmoved at all, and said: "Life and death are fate, you deserve it if you fall."

But the lazy guy seemed to have a lot of life, and was blocked by a protruding stone, so he didn't continue to roll down.But after such a fall, his body was covered with moss, and he looked quite embarrassed, so he didn't have the sinister and numb look of last night.

Seeing that he stood up frowning, he finally cheered up and opened his half-closed eyes, and then he began to concentrate on going down the mountain, and walked in the first place.Now that he didn't doze off, his figure was naturally stable and he was no longer wobbly. In addition, he was the first to open the way for us, which also saved us from burrowing in the bushes.

After this tossing, it came to sunset again in a blink of an eye. When the night was approaching, the big yellow duck suddenly pointed to the high ground not far away and said, "Look, there seems to be a wooden house there." The wooden house is in the middle of the forest. If you don't observe it carefully, it's really easy to ignore it.

Tofu wondered: "Isn't this place deserted? Why is there a wooden house?"

The big yellow duck thought for a while, and said, "Could it be a forest ranger? Let's go and have a look." Don't look at the big yellow duck laughing and joking with tofu these days, but there must be a lot of vigilance. With the dagger at his waist covered, just like an ordinary expedition team, they walked towards the wooden house with a walking stick.The few of us were naturally curious, and we were even more worried about the people living in it. When we discovered our identities, we also prepared to find out.

As we got closer, we saw that the outside of the wooden house was covered with vines and thorny bushes, and the wooden door was closed and unlocked.

The big yellow duck stretched out his hand and pushed it, only to hear a creak, the door was opened, but no dust fell, so I guess, this door should be pushed frequently, it seems that people have actually lived there recently.

I glanced into the wooden house and found that it might be a forest ranger's residence. There are wooden beds, quilts, a simple stove at the other end, and even a shotgun hanging on the wall.This shotgun is generally filled with anesthetics, to prevent the attack of beasts.

The quilt on the bed was a little black, and it hadn't been washed for some time. In front of the bed, there was a pair of green rubber shoes with dried black mud on them. There was a faint smell of feet wafting in the small wooden house.Tofu quickly slapped his nose, and pushed the wooden door open a little, saying to diffuse the smell.

The big yellow duck nodded and said, "It seems that there are forest rangers in this place. Why didn't we hear about it when we came?"

Tofu said: "I pay high tribute to the person who can work in such a ghostly place. But let's stay away from this house, it will be bad if the forest ranger comes back."

The big yellow duck snorted and said, "Could it be that five men are afraid of him?"

Tofu rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I'm not afraid, but we all carry knives and guns, so we don't look like decent people. What if he sees it out? We can't kill people, right?" Big Yellow Duck Hearing this, I didn't say much.Originally we had decided to camp nearby, but now we plan to go further to avoid encountering the rangers.

Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone turned around, they suddenly discovered that there was a person standing at the door.

Everyone was shocked, and the one who reacted the most was Lazy.It is estimated that he was too confident in his vigilance, so when he found a silent person standing behind us, he immediately pulled out his knife in shock.

"Clang." The Tibetan knife was out of its sheath, and the lazy man stared at the person at the door sharply, and his tone became cold all the time: "Who are you?"

The man at the door was very tall, taller than any of the five of us. He stood at the door and had to lower his head a little to get in.He is wearing a set of clothes whose style and color can no longer be seen, it should be a Tibetan robe, with a beard on his face, a hat on his head, messy hair, almost no appearance, the only thing that can be seen is the eyes , His eyes are very big, much bigger than ordinary people, it looks a little weird, and the eyes are not like human eyes, but like beasts.

Tofu shrank his neck in fear, lowered his voice and asked me: "Could he be a savage?"

Before I could make a sound, the man suddenly spoke in Chinese with a strange accent: "This is my home, who are you?" He spoke very slowly, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Seeing that it wasn't a savage, everyone seemed to be relieved, but Lazy was still on guard.

The big yellow duck said: "We are from the expedition team, and we are going to investigate in the mountains. Are you... a forest ranger?"

The burly man at the door glanced at the lazy guy, and without making a sound, he walked in slowly with his head down, holding something in his hand. At my first glance, it was a washed and stripped yellow sheep.He shook his head and still said in a strange tone, "I am a practitioner."

practice?

Tofu suddenly realized, and said: "Are you the kind of monk who practiced asceticism? These days, monks are all fat, drive Audi, fly, and ascetic monks have disappeared for many years!" Tibetan Buddhism initially advocated double rest for men and women, Later generations, after reforms, advocated traditional asceticism, and turning scriptures among them are all representatives of asceticism.However, it is really rare for a practitioner who is similar to a savage in front of him to practice so hard.
