Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 803 The reason for going down to the ground again!
After taking the dagger from the street vendor, Hu Ming didn't say anything more and left the antique shop with the blind man.

Outside the antique shop, Hu Ming and the blind man did not linger and went straight back to the hotel.

However, when the two returned to the hotel, the blind man became noticeably serious.

Clearly, the blind man had a lot to say about Hu Ming's reaction in the antique shop.

"Are you really going to go with them to raid that tomb?"

The blind man got straight to the point; given his relationship with Hu Ming, there was no need for any beating around the bush.

Upon hearing the blind man's words, Hu Ming nodded slightly but said nothing.

This made the blind man even more anxious, which was clearly not Hu Ming's usual style.

"Hey! I just don't understand! Who are you anyway? Do you really care that much for this place?"

"What haven't we seen? We don't need this kind of lousy fight. In my opinion, it's better if this fight doesn't end well!"

"Besides! That guy didn't seem like a good person either. This is the border, it's a mess. So I advise you to give up on this idea, just sell the gold with me and then get out of here!"

As the blind man spoke, he glanced at Hu Ming and realized that Hu Ming's attention was not on him, but rather on the dagger in his hand, which seemed to be more captivating to Hu Ming.

"Hey... Hu Ming! I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear what that hoodlum said? They're practicing sacrifice here! Be careful they don't sacrifice you!"
As the blind man spoke, he walked up to Hu Ming and then tapped on the table in front of him.

Hu Ming was suddenly brought back to his senses when he heard the blind man tapping on the table.

"What you said is not important. I have my reasons for going. What do I lack now? I am still going into tombs not for gold or anything, but to find out if there are gods or divine beasts in the world, and how I and the Zhang family's Qilin and other bloodlines came about."

"There are so many secrets in the world waiting for us to explore, and right now I just want to be an explorer!"

"Besides, if that scoundrel really wanted to harm us, he wouldn't have told us about the sacrifice!"

"If they really intended to use us as sacrifices, they would probably have just tricked us into going! So you're overthinking it!"

Hu Ming then shared his judgment, and after hearing Hu Ming's words, the blind man finally shut his mouth.

Upon closer examination, it is indeed true.

"If you don't want to go, you can go back with Lao Gu and the others first! I'll be back later!"

Hu Ming didn't want to go back; he had already made his decision.

However, just as Hu Ming finished speaking, the blind man beside him shook his head.

"No! I can't leave you here alone. Why don't I go with you? Blind Man's Gully! It suits me perfectly! Perhaps, like Pang Shiyuan crossing Luofeng Slope, this is my home!"

The blind man sighed as he spoke.

For some reason, Hu Ming only realized that the place name was exactly the same as the blind man's name when he heard the blind man's words.

"Tsk tsk, even a blind man like you feels fear? That's quite rare!"

At this point, Hu Ming also began to mock the blind man; the two had exchanged similar remarks many times before.

However, this time, after listening to Hu Ming's words, the blind man did not argue with Hu Ming, which made Hu Ming feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sigh, to be honest, I've had a bad feeling these past few days. I have a premonition that if I actually go on this trip, something bad might happen!"

When the blind man got to this point, he suddenly became somewhat sad, which was something Hu Ming hadn't expected.

You should know that blind people are never this pessimistic, especially when they are in the ground, and they would never say such discouraging things.

The blind man was clearly behaving strangely at this moment, but Hu Ming couldn't figure out why.

"Stop thinking nonsense! Sell the gold later and arrange for Old Gu and his daughter to leave first! We've recovered from this disaster! If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be able to enjoy the sun and drinks back home in a few days!" After comforting the blind man for a few moments, Hu Ming finally stood up and returned to his room.

Upon entering the room, Hu Ming continued to play with the dagger in his hand.

For some reason, ever since he got the dagger, Hu Ming always felt that it seemed to be related to the mother stone.

However, when Hu Ming placed him next to the mother stone, that connection would disappear out of thin air, which puzzled him greatly.

"What secret does this dagger hold? It seems we'll have to ask the street urchin!"

Hu Ming knew that to find out the origin of the dagger, he couldn't avoid the shady characters, but he wouldn't contact them at this time.

The only way is to wait for the local thugs to contact them; otherwise, there's no way to get to them.

As expected, things went exactly as Hu Ming had predicted. Not long after he arrived at the hotel, the street urchin called.

This time, the street urchin directly arranged to meet Hu Ming and the blind man at a restaurant in the city.

Furthermore, Hu Ming also learned from the underlings that the initiator of this operation would also be going, so the exact nature of this tomb might soon be revealed.

Time passed quickly, and evening arrived in the blink of an eye. After a short rest at the hotel, Hu Ming and the blind man prepared to attend the banquet.

As for Gu Huaisheng and his daughter, Hu Ming has already arranged for them to embark on their journey back to China.

"What about Qi or Ba? She can't go back to China in her condition!"

When leaving the hotel, the blind man also asked about the surviving mercenaries, number seven and eight.

"Let's leave her with Aning! Our current task is the grave in Blind Man's Gully!"

Hu Ming replied.

The blind man naturally had no objection to Hu Ming's arrangement.

The two quickly left the hotel and took a car to the restaurant that the street vendor had mentioned.

When Hu Ming and the blind man arrived at the restaurant that Di Liuzi had mentioned, they discovered that the restaurant was actually built on a small lake.

After Hu Ming and the blind man entered the hotel, they were immediately led to a boat.

"What's going on here? Did they copy this from China? A floating restaurant?"

The blind man immediately recognized that these tricks originated from China, and he became somewhat impatient.

"Calm down! We're just doing some tomb raiding on the side! No need to be so tense! If the other party has any problems, we can always back out!"

Sitting on the boat, Hu Ming comforted the blind man.

"Pah! Me, nervous? I just can't stand this pretentious behavior. It's just a meal, why all the secrecy? It's so annoying!"

As the blind man spoke, he walked directly to the bow of the boat and began to admire the scenery on the lake.

Shortly after the blind man and Hu Ming boarded the boat, the small boat finally began to head towards the center of the lake.

"Huh? Just the two of us? Where are they? What's going on?"
The blind man frowned as he watched the boat suddenly sail away.

Hu Ming was also puzzled at this point, not understanding what they were up to. Just when Hu Ming and the blind man were feeling annoyed and thought they had been tricked, another ship finally appeared in their field of vision.

"Gentlemen! I apologize for keeping you waiting! Please follow me!"

As the two ships drew closer, the street vendor finally reappeared!
