Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 634: Wind!

In the private room on the top floor of the Crescent Hotel, several people sat down. Hu Ming sniffed the faint fragrance of Yin Nanfeng, who came over after hearing the news, and stared at Zhang Rishan's right hand.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.

The two young men came to this familiar place again, feeling quite uneasy, and even afraid to look Zhang Yueshan in the face.

Last time, they came here to look for clues about Li Cu, but were caught by Zhang Yueshan who happened to be here on business.
How can I not feel guilty when I see Zhang Rishan again?

“You’re hurt!”

After a long while, Hu Ming said firmly.

"…You have such a sharp eye. I have already received medical treatment and tried my best to cover it up, but I didn't expect you could still see through it at one glance!"

Zhang Rishan relaxed his right hand, which was a little stiff and less dexterous than usual, and admitted it casually.

What Zhang Yueshan wanted to hide was not the people in front of him.

As for these two "outside" kids, Zhang Yueshan didn't mind.

"Uncle Ming, it was done by the Wang family. It was done by a Wang family spy hiding inside your Nine Gates!"

Speaking of this, Yin Nanfeng's face looked a little unhappy.

Over the years, there are only a handful of people who dare to cause trouble at Xinyue Hotel! Not to mention such an exaggerated thing as assassinating guests of Xinyue Hotel.

This is simply a slap in the face of the Crescent Hotel!
"Not only that, ordinary injuries wouldn't turn you into this. Let me guess, in order to intimidate those idiots at the Nine Gates, you took the risk of opening the Nine-Aperture Delicate Box?"

"The most important thing is that you failed and were injured by the poisonous stinger in the Nine-Aperture Delicate Box!"

Hu Ming nodded, sighed softly, and added.

The so-called Nine-Hole Exquisite Box is a toy created by the most famous craftsman in the Northern Song Dynasty with great effort in his later years.

The inside of the box is made of three thousand gold threads, but only one of them holds the inner lock.

If the person unlocking the box accidentally touches a golden thread, dozens of poisonous barbs inside the box will shoot out.

If the person is stabbed by the stinger, the locksmith will be useless!
"That's right, this old guy is already quite old, but he insisted on showing off in front of those bastards. Now, he has gotten himself into trouble..."

"His right hand is fine for daily life, but his ability to probe holes with two fingers is mostly useless. Tsk, a Zhang family member with two half-crippled fingers? How interesting!"

Yin Nanfeng snorted lightly, with a hint of gloating, indicating that Hu Ming's guess was not wrong.

"Old Nanfeng, you are still as sharp-tongued as ever, even at your age. You can only restrain your temper in front of Hu Ming, right?"

Zhang Yueshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If you think about it carefully, Yin Nanfeng does have a gentle side, but the little tenderness he has is all given to Hu Ming.

When dealing with others, Yin Nanfeng is still the cold but somewhat sinister young lady.
"These are all minor matters. Liang Wan has already dealt with them for me. The sequelae have been reduced to a minimum. At least my daily life will be fine."

"Let's get down to business, Hu Ming. Why are you taking care of these two kids?"

Zhang Rishan changed the subject and looked at the two awkward teenagers.

"What else could it be? This is the "treasure" left by your Buddha. I never thought that such a thing would be obtained by those guys..."

Hu Ming slammed the tape on the table and looked at Yin Nanfeng: "Nanfeng?"

Before coming, Hu Ming had already communicated with Yin Nanfeng.

"I'm ready..wait!"

Yin Nanfeng nodded and softly called out to Sheng Sheng Man who was waiting outside the door.

crunch...

The door was pushed open, and Shengshengman walked in holding a lacquered wooden box, put it on the table and opened it.

Inside is an honest machine, full of the quaint feeling unique to that era.

"Wow, ears! I still remember you!"

"After all these years, you are still single, right?"

"Actually, it's not that I can't understand it. After all, who would like their woman to hear the noises of his own poop?" The fat man kept on talking as usual.

"If it weren't for Second Master's sake, for a fat guy like you, I would have killed you long ago..."

Shengshengman immediately became unhappy and glared at the fat man.

"See, uncle, you still have face!"

The fat man immediately laughed. Due to his personality, he liked the way people hated him but could do nothing about him.

So vulgar.

"Uncle Ming, are you asking him to leave, or am I asking him to leave?"

Yin Nanfeng took a breath, stopped Sheng Shengman, and said to Hu Ming with a smile.

"…Calm down, it's not a big deal. He is just like his father, just a little rude. You know that... Shengsheng, please get out first!"

Hu Ming pinched his nose and tried to smooth things over helplessly.

Fatty's behavior...

This guy has a lot of tricks. If he wasn't as lucky as his father, he might have been beaten to death on the street one day.

"Well, how about you guys chat first while my brother and I listen to the contents of the tape?"

The teenagers who had been left out for a long time couldn't wait any longer and interrupted a few people during the break.

"I almost forgot the important matter!"

The fat man slapped his head and started to operate the machine directly.
There are some differences in the operation of machines from the 1940s and today's machines, but fortunately it is not difficult.

Soon, the fat man had dealt with everything.

"What we are about to hear now may be the Buddha's greatest secret!"

With a sigh, Zhang Yueshan pressed the start button.

"The biggest secret? Not necessarily? Shouldn't the biggest secret be the conspiracy back then?"

The fat man didn't have a good impression of the rumored Buddha and sneered sarcastically.

“…Listen carefully.”

There was no way to refute what the fat man said. Zhang Rishan was speechless and couldn't refute it at all.

rustling.
There was an unknown rustling sound coming from the tape.

Several people looked at each other.

The fat man frowned and simply fast-forwarded.

Unfortunately, it was still a rustling sound whose true meaning was unknown!

"Put it back and start from the beginning!~"

Just then, Hu Ming spoke in a deep voice.

"What?"

The fat man was stunned. Seeing that Hu Ming didn't look like he was joking, he played the tape again from the beginning and stared at Hu Ming who was listening with his eyes closed.

"It's the sound of the wind with a strange rhythm! It seems to contain a big secret, Kai!"

After listening to the boring rustling sound, Hu Ming opened his eyes and suddenly realized.

He could roughly guess what it was.

"The sound of the wind? I seem to remember something... The Buddha said that there is a big secret deep in Gutongjing, a big secret that no one has been able to figure out from ancient times to the present!"

"This is also one of the reasons why the Buddha presided over the construction around Gutongjing!"

"I remember that the information left by the Buddha seemed to mention that this secret was contained in the rumors of Gutongjing!"

It was as if a bolt of lightning struck Zhang Rishan's mind, and his memories of the past became clearer and clearer.
