Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 438 The Shameless Fatty
The information that Brother Chu gave Wu Xie, besides a photo that seemed to have been taken in Golmud, was that Chen Pi Asi brought Xiao Ge back from Banna Village during the millennium.

Banai Village is a Yao village, not far from the border, deep in the mountains, in a remote location.

During that special period, when Chen Pi Asi was fleeing for his life, he saw that this place was remote and had many ancient tombs underground, so he simply built a storehouse here to sell his goods.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Pi had the opportunity to recruit the amnesiac Xiao Ge under his command.

It's worth mentioning that the group wasn't there for leisure; they had a specific purpose in visiting Banna Village to explore certain things.

Just in case, some commonly used equipment is naturally carried with you.

For example, some controlled knives, and even firearms used for self-defense.

After all, it would be absurd to wait until these things arrive at the destination and then purchase them when needed.

These things would never pass through security.

Therefore, the four of them decided to take a road trip through the Ten Thousand Mountains.
This is definitely not an easy or comfortable process.

Changsha city is more than a thousand kilometers away from Bannai village!
Moreover, once you venture deeper into Guangxi Province, some sections of the journey become quite difficult, requiring you to trek along treacherous mountain roads deep in the mountains.

Fortunately, this time Hu Ming wasn't driving alone.

After approaching Shangsi, Jiuquan becomes a mountainous area.

The mountains here are known as the Ten Thousand Mountains, a range of mountains stretching for hundreds of kilometers, with forests covering more than five million acres.

The central area is a pristine, uninhabited jungle.

This terrain makes transportation extremely inconvenient.

The journey took a long time, and it was already evening on the third day when we arrived at Banna Village.

Before coming, Hu Ming and his companions had done their homework and obtained some information about Banna Village from other travelers.

I know that there is only one place in this village where tourists can stay.

That was the home of a man named A-Gui. His family had two wooden buildings with strong ethnic style, one for his own residence and the other as a hotel.

Agui is a man in his forties with two daughters and a son.

Agui's son did not appear, perhaps because he was not in the village. His two daughters were both in their prime, close in age, with slender figures and pretty faces.

Wearing ethnic costumes adds a unique charm, and the youthful and lively aura of the girls truly makes them eye-catching.

"You gentlemen, please feel free to stay here with me. Over the years, most of the tourists who have come and gone have stayed here."

"Although I don't have any great skills, I can handle most of the trivial matters for you."

Ah Gui was a warm-hearted person. He helped the four of them put away their luggage, wiped themselves with spring water, and drank tea in the courtyard while enjoying the night breeze.

The tea is grown, picked, and made by ourselves, carrying the unique, rugged flavor of the mountains.

With the addition of some special flavorings, a cup of cinnamon and ginger tea caught the eyes of the four people, who couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

It's worth mentioning that Fatty's eyes were almost glued to the back of A-Gui's youngest daughter as she cooked.

Those are clouds.

A girl that the fat man would remember for the rest of his life.

While the food was still not ready, Wu Xie took out the address that Brother Chu had given him and asked where it was located.

This is the address where the young man lived back then.

"This place... is right in the village, not far, just above the houses."

Ah Gui thought for a moment and said confidently. The four of them exchanged glances, had an idea, and made an excuse to talk about some things, telling Ah Gui to go ahead and do his work.

"Don't worry, buddy. Although this is your house, you've forgotten the past and don't know where the key is."

"If you let someone else take you there so late, it's easy for people to suspect you have ulterior motives."

“We have plenty of time here, and besides, we should follow the host’s lead. Moving around arbitrarily could easily offend the locals, which is not a wise choice.”

Seeing the glint in the young man's eyes, the fat man comforted him.

Before Fatty met Hu Ming and Wu Xie, he was a lone wolf.

Having traveled almost all over China, including many remote areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, I know that I still need to be somewhat careful here.

Ethnic minorities are generally very united, and to some extent somewhat xenophobic.

If they cause any trouble, they will definitely suffer.

We can't just follow Chen Pi's example and massacre the entire village, can we?
The young man nodded, indicating that the group didn't need to worry; he had enough patience.

Before long, the two little girls had quickly prepared a simple dinner.

Dinner consisted of stew and sweet wine.

Even though it's the 21st century, the people in this village still go into the mountains to hunt and eat fresh squirrel meat.

I must say, it tastes really good.

The fat man was probably drunk, because he grabbed Ah Gui and started rambling on and on.

He openly declared himself a big boss, the kind who's incredibly rich, and that he didn't want to leave. He asked A-Gui to marry both of his daughters to him, promising to take care of A-Gui in his old age and see him off when he died.

This made the two little girls giggle.

Ah Gui, looking embarrassed, asked Hu Ming and the others for help.

"...This wretched thing, doesn't it feel ashamed?"

With a dark expression, Hu Ming slapped the fat man on the back of the head, covering his mouth to stop his nonsense.

The fat man's alcohol tolerance was not bad; in fact, it could be described as enormous.

Although the fat man drank quite a bit of sweet wine at dinner, the alcohol content was still so-so.

Given the size of the fat man's body, it's too early for him to lose consciousness!
He's just lustful!
"Uncle Ming, no, no, no, Master Ming, my Master Ming, please let me go!"

"Did you see Ah Gui's youngest daughter? This time, I'm truly smitten! It was love at first sight, you know?"

"I know, Fatty is getting old and it's not appropriate for me to do this. So I have to use some tricks to lower A-Gui's guard first. We're uncle and nephew, you probably can't stop Fatty from pursuing happiness!"

The fat man still looked drunk, and secretly pleaded with Hu Ming in a low voice.

He tried his best, but still couldn't break free from Hu Ming's control. He could only try to reason with him and appeal to his emotions.

"I rely on!"

Wu Xie was immediately shocked when he heard this.

The fat guy was several years older than him, while A-Gui's youngest daughter, Yun Cai, looked to be under twenty.

The fat guy actually dared to say that!
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Even the young man couldn't help but glance at the fat man a couple more times in surprise.

He thought to himself: No wonder they are uncle and nephew!
