Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

"Mmm~ It smells so good~"

In the kitchen, Yin Nanfeng closed his eyes and gently inhaled the aroma wafting from the food, softly praising it.

Having grown up in luxury, what delicacies hadn't Yin Nanfeng tasted?
The ingredients used are just exceptionally good.

Three kilograms of wild giant grouper!
For such top-quality ingredients, only simple seasonings are needed to bring out the purest and most delicious natural flavors.

By this time, the fish soup had turned white.

"Comrades, dinner's ready! Go get your chopsticks!"

After everything was ready, I carried the steaming hot pot of fish head to the dining hall.

Although the fishing boat is small, it has all the necessary functions.

The living facilities are all complete.

"It smells really good!"

"Set to automatic navigation mode," the young man said softly as he stepped out of the cockpit, his nostrils twitching slightly.

The aroma was so enticing that no one hesitated; they immediately grabbed their chopsticks and started grabbing the meat.

About twenty minutes later, the grouper was completely devoured, and the grouper collapsed contentedly into their chairs.

These past few days, I've been busy both inside the tomb and sailing to a safe area, but I haven't had a hot meal. I've been eating dry rations with cold boiled water.

This meal was truly satisfying.

"The beautiful girl in the bamboo house is as radiant as a pearl in the night."

The fat man took out a few beads he had taken before leaving from his bag, flicked one at each of them, and hummed a little tune contentedly.

"You're just killing time anyway, and you're an expert in antiques, so can you give me an estimate and tell me roughly how much I can make?"

As he hummed along, the fat man asked Wu Xie.

However, Wu Xie seemed lost in thought, not hearing Fatty's words, and remained silent.

"This is not a luminous pearl, it's a fish-eye stone. You know how fish eyes can be mistaken for pearls? This is what they mean by this pearl."

"Throughout the five thousand years of Chinese history, there have been hundreds of emperors throughout the dynasties, but the number of genuine luminous pearls is only so many!"

"No matter how capable Wang Zanghai is, he could not possibly obtain a dome of luminous pearls."

Upon seeing this, Hu Ming began to explain.

Anyone with a brain knows that Wu Xie is worried about his third uncle.

Of course, there might also be concerns about his condition.
It seems that Hu Ming's casual remark startled him?

Lung problems are no small matter.

Upon hearing this, the fat man nearly fainted from anger, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Don't get excited, Fatty. This thing is valuable. If you find a suitable buyer, one of these can easily be exchanged for a small villa in Beijing."

Hu Ming smiled and comforted him.

The two fat men he knew, despite their many differences, were truly in a terrible state when it came to money.

"Oh? You didn't find your third uncle this time. What are your plans? I think this matter isn't over yet, and you'll have to suffer more."

The fat man put the bead back and shook Wu Xie, who was in a daze.

"What else can I do but go back to running my shop?"

"I absolutely dare not come down to fight again. You might make money, but you could lose your life. It's not worth it."

Wu Xie woke up with a start, and the fat man asked him again. Only then did he give a helpless, bitter smile.

There was a sense of utter disheartening.

Everyone burst into laughter. Even the young man's gaze towards Wu Xie changed, and he didn't say anything more. They all knew that Wu Sansheng was a seasoned veteran, a cunning old fox, although they still didn't know what Wu Sansheng was up to.

However, all signs indicate that he was determined to drag Wu Xie down with him.

Wu Xie is no match for Wu Sansheng now; he can't escape.

Wu Xie is a very sentimental person, which is both his strength and his greatest weakness.

As long as Wu Sansheng grasps one point and occasionally reveals some of his own information, he can always attract Wu Xie to fall into his trap.

After the story ended, Wu Xie, because of his deep emotions, believed that he carried the lives and expectations of many people on his shoulders, and that he lived for others.

In the end, he lived a life that was nothing like himself; he was almost another version of Wu Sansheng.

He went from being innocent and naive to becoming a cunning old fox.

The hero who slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon himself.

In life, there are always many things we can't help, and we often end up living the kind of life we ​​once hated the most.

Hu Ming, who comes from the 21st century, has a deep understanding of this.

This is the helpless sigh of many people at the bottom of society.

……

……

A few hours later, Hu Ming and his group arrived at Yongxing Island.

At this point, the sea was getting increasingly rough, and it seemed that if they continued sailing, they would really capsize.

Disaster preparedness is underway on the island, and many boats, mostly fishing boats, have come here to seek refuge.

Hu Ming and his group packed their luggage in advance and slipped onto the island amidst the chaos, abandoning the boat.

For fishermen, their fishing boats are their homes, and they generally stay on the boats.

This resulted in the island being crowded with people and bustling with boats, but the guesthouses on the island were unusually deserted.

After all, there aren't many tourists coming here this season when typhoons hit, so they don't want to cause any trouble.

The group chose the best hotel and settled in.

Hu Ming and his group need to stay on this island until the typhoon subsides and flights resume.

"...Why are you here again... Men and women shouldn't touch each other, you know?"

"Before, it was one thing for you to take advantage of me on your turf and watch me shower, but now you're just going to hog my room?"

At night, lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the room. Hu Ming looked helplessly at the uninvited guest in front of him.

It is Yin Nanfeng.

Hu Ming swore that he did not give her the room key.

All I can say is, you can't mess with a girl who's so talented.

Yin Nanfeng closed the door, threw away the thin wire in her hand, gave a smug hum, and lay down in Hu Ming's arms without saying a word.

"Uncle Ming, I'm not feeling well. I went into the water and was exposed to the wind and rain, and I'm in a bit of pain."

Hmm, his face was a little pale, Hu Ming understood.

The weather conditions on this trip were really tough, no wonder she wasn't feeling well.

"What else can we do? Drink more hot water!"

This night is going to be tough!
Although this girl likes to play with fire, she knows her limits very well. At this moment, Hu Ming really can't do anything about her...
