Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 717 Something is wrong!

"Fuck, after all this time, this girl can't talk!"

"My godson is still the same, with a missing string in his head. I don't know how he has become what he is in these years."

On the way, the blind man sighed softly as he and Hu Ming watched the video “Introduction to Sign Language Teaching”.

I have to say that my son is very thoughtful. If he wants to communicate with the people in the mute village, he must find someone who knows sign language.

And the little girl is very qualified in this regard.

But my son seemed to have not considered one thing... The question is, how should they communicate with this girl?
Fortunately, both Hu Ming and the blind man are extraordinary people.

They have learned most of the simple daily expressions in a short period of time. Their brains are sufficient to support them to absorb enough new knowledge in a short period of time.

Just after a few hours' journey, Hu Ming and his companion were already able to understand the little girl's sign language.

"Okay, with your level, you should have no problem communicating with the people in the Dumb Village."

The little girl saw Hu Ming's gestures through the rearview mirror and responded with a series of gestures with her free right hand.

It is worth mentioning that the little girl did not seem to have a formal name. In the past, other people in the village always called her "girl".

By the time we arrived at the entrance of our target village, the Ya Village, it was already afternoon.

As soon as we arrived, several middle-aged men with rifles at arm's length surrounded the car, looking warily at the people in the car, especially Jiangnan and the blind man.

After all, the little girl was too young, and human trafficking was common in such a remote place, so this practice was not surprising.

"Ah, ay, ay, ay!"

The leader patted the car and gestured to several people.

The general meaning is, get off the car and let us check it out.

"..."

Without waiting for Hu Ming to say anything, the blind man got playful and acted as if he would rather die than surrender, and gestured: "No!"

However.…

"Are you fucking stupid?"

"The people in this village are just dumb, not incompetent!"

Hu Ming took a deep breath, but couldn't help but slapped him.

As the saying goes, the older people get, the more childish they become, commonly known as old children.

The changes in the blind man in recent years seem to be the best proof.

Remember, when I first met him, he was still a cool and handsome guy?
How come I have become a fool in just 10 or 20 years?
Hu Ming just couldn't understand this.

"Yes, you are an idiot."

The little girl nodded in agreement, gestured to the blind man with contempt, then got out of the car and began a silent conversation with the leading man.

The general meaning is that the little girl said that Hu Ming and the blind man wanted to come to the village to experience different customs and people through the relationship of their son.

The son is indeed doing quite well in this area. At least, when the man heard his son's name, he frowned, although he was originally impatient.

He looked at the blind man and Hu Ming with disdain. Hu Ming was mainly implicated by the blind man.

The blind man really has awakened an extraordinary talent, and he is so disliked by people as soon as they meet him.

"Ugh!"

The roll of banknotes thrown by the little girl to the man became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The man waved his hand, indicating that they could enter the village, and stood guard at the entrance of the village again with his men.

At this point, the little girl's work is over.

He waved to Hu Ming in a friendly manner, then gave the blind man a thumbs down and drove away without looking back.

"Hey, do you think she has a driver's license? She's so young and she can drive on the road."

The blind man smelled the exhaust fumes from the car and nudged Hu Ming.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" "This country is in such a mess. Driver's license? There are no relevant personnel or places for you to take the test!"

With a light snort, Hu Ming put on his backpack and strode towards the village.

"Let's go. I'm almost suffocating all this time. I need to find a place to relieve myself."

"Just say nn, why are you speaking so elegantly? There aren't any outsiders here."

The blind man muttered something and hurried to catch up with Hu Ming.

After Hu Ming said this, he suddenly got the feeling.

Under unfriendly gazes, the two of them leisurely walked across the wooden bridge over the stream and entered the mysterious village.

"Remember, in these deep mountains and old forests, there are strange customs passed down from a long time ago, all kinds of strange phenomena, and they also refuse to communicate with the outside world..."

In broad daylight, the village was dead silent, without any sound of normal life. Hu Ming licked his dry lips and said softly.

"Most of them are tomb keepers. They have been guarding the tombs of their ancestors for generations, following some ancient agreement or contract."

"In other words, I have a feeling we've found the right place."

The blind man grinned and took over the second half of the sentence.

"Let's take care of our personal problems first, and then we'll explore this strange village. It seems we've arrived at the right time."

Hu Ming glanced at the seemingly deserted village, then looked up at the empty sky and said softly...

"No need to bother. There's no one here anyway. I can just take care of it by the stream."

They were all men, including those standing at the entrance to the village. The blind man could hardly hold it back any longer, so he simply stood by the stream at the entrance to the village and started spraying water.

"Fuck, I regret coming here with you. Sooner or later, I'm going to be killed by you."

Hu Ming's senses were so sharp that the murderous intent that seemed real coming from the village entrance made Hu Ming feel a little upset.

Damn, in a place like this, this stream is clearly the source of water for the villagers, even their drinking water!
"What's there to be afraid of? The kids in the village are probably competing with each other every day to see who can spray the farthest. My bubble won't hurt either."

The blind man turned the gun around as if in protest, rushed towards the village entrance, and smiled viciously.

"..."

In order to avoid being implicated, Hu Ming decisively turned around and left, pretending not to know the blind man.

If a blind man was found dead in the wilderness one day, Hu Ming would not be surprised at all, after all, this man was too ungentlemanly.

Even if you are in a hurry, this little time won't be a problem, right?
The village is not big, with about a hundred people.

As he went deeper into the village, the noisy sounds in Hu Ming's ears became clearer.

It’s not that there is no one in the village, and there is a reason why there are people with guns on guard at the entrance of the village.

Today is a special day. It is a day when the villagers follow the ancient agreement, perform some mysterious rituals, worship the ancient gods, and listen to "God's will".

With a light leap, Hu Ming jumped onto the roof of a house near the center of the village. He lowered his figure and saw the dark crowd in the center of the village.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Ming did not go over to check immediately, but jumped off the roof and came to the door of the family's toilet.

"Men on the left, women on the right. There's even a crude sign here, that's right."

After roughly identifying the place, Hu Ming threw his backpack aside and opened the bamboo door.
"???"

Most of his attention was focused on the central open space, listening to the noise over there. Hu Ming never expected that he would smell a hint of fragrance as soon as he opened the door.

Fresh fragrance?
Are the villagers in this village so particular?

Before Hu Ming could figure out what was going on, a delicate hand suddenly reached out from the side and covered his mouth.

"..."

Hu Ming was not surprised. He immediately understood the situation and suppressed his subconscious reaction to draw his knife and chop people.

The corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he turned to look at the young woman who was making a "hush" gesture to him.

Girl, is there something wrong with this place and this occasion?
