Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 22 Passport, Leaving the Desert
I finally left the desert. When my feet touched the concrete floor, my body immediately softened and I sat on the ground. The four of us had no strength to move anymore. Our lips were so dry that we couldn’t even open them, as if glued to the ground. After getting a piece of it, Meng Luo even lay directly on the ground, face down, and the back of his head moved.

Footsteps sounded in front of me. I looked up and saw that it was the kid poking the tire. He had no expression at first, but when he saw my face clearly, he was a little surprised, then turned around and ran suddenly, "Hey, kid." I was very angry Oh, the children in this town don't have any sympathy at all. Seeing our situation, they should lend a helping hand, right?
More than ten minutes later, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, and the child ran over with the innkeeper and some adults. The innkeeper looked like he had seen a ghost: "Oh my god, my god, you came out alive, how many more?" alone?"

I don’t have the energy to talk to him now. With the help of these people, we returned to the inn. Water, apart from water, I don’t think about anything else. I don't even have the strength to drink a bowl of porridge, Lao Jiu said that you will know when you go out, and now I finally know-half dead.

We rested in the inn for two days before we regained our energy. In order to leave here, we had to find a way to change the tires. So he arranged for us, bought matching tires from outside, and helped us replace them, and also brought back gasoline.

Seeing that the day of departure was approaching, the owner of the inn seemed to be hesitant. The night before he left, he sat and watched us eat quietly, and finally couldn't help but said: "You guys are coming out, what about the other people? Those who went in before you?"

"I guess I won't be able to come back." I said, "I haven't seen those people's cars either."

The innkeeper took a deep breath: "At least a hundred people died this year, plus the previous archaeological team, you left, will you come?"

When mentioning the archaeological team, Tao Ran's face sank, he buried his head in his meal, and said nothing. I looked at the innkeeper and said, "Brother, do you want us to come, or do you want us to never come back?"

The face of the innkeeper changed, and he shook his head: "Don't come back again. It's a great luck for you to escape after staying in it for so long. You can still survive the second time? Don't be lucky once. , believe that you are different from others.”

These words were very interesting, I raised my glass and said, "Brother, thank you for your words."

"By the way, the expedition team leaked something in the inn, and only found out when they were cleaning up the room." The innkeeper said: "A passport, alas, I guess there is no chance to return it to them."

They were all dead, and my heart moved: "Boss, she is a police officer, why don't you leave it to her, see if you can find their friends and family members, and tell them the news, the person died in the desert, and the family members will only think it is missing. It's cruel to have unrealistic hopes all the time."

The innkeeper looked at my face: "Sure enough, did you see the dead body?"

I used silence instead of answering, and then the innkeeper got up to get the passport. When I got the passport, I opened it, and inside was a familiar face, the corpse outside the ghost forest, "Yuan Zijie, American." Lao Jiu said : "You are not very old, only 28 years old, what a pity, what a pity."

Tao Ran said: "With a passport, it is not difficult to find his family members. I will do it when I go back."

She conveniently put the passport in her pocket, and I looked at Tao Ran: "Hey, send me the photos you took on your phone when you get back, don't forget."

If those Tangut texts that were photographed were translated, what would they mean?
Tao Ran just nodded, the spider on her shoulder was teasing her hair, doesn't this spider need to eat?It suddenly occurred to me that maybe it felt my gaze, the spider crawled into Tao Ran's hair until it completely covered its body, what a clever little thing.

Looking back, Lao Jiu was looking at the spider with a deep expression on his face. Seeing me turning around, he smiled muffledly and lowered his head to eat the vegetables. The sound of the wind made my mind a little chaotic, everything that happened in the desert was like a flashing lantern, one scene after another, and in the end, what stayed in my mind was Hua Ji under the moonlight.

The sand turned into a beautiful face. If this was a coincidence, the first meeting between me and her was like a dream come true. The mood of the 16-year-old surged in my heart, and somewhere in my heart was about to move.

I tossed and turned, Munro was unhappy: "I can't sleep."

"It's none of my business, just close your eyes." I said angrily, "Or start counting sheep."

Meng Luo turned around helplessly, and suddenly said: "The man named Lao Jiu has a third piece of broken jade in his hand."

"Well, I know." I yawned: "You want to steal it?"

Meng Luo was dumb, and turned around: "It's not stealing, can you let me see the lines on it, put the three pieces together, maybe there will be new discoveries."

"You don't need to tell me, I will look for him." I said angrily: "That female police officer is inconvenient here, so I will talk about it when I get back to the imperial capital. Keep your mouth tight on the way and don't talk nonsense."

"Who is the old nine?" Monroe asked.

"Where do you have so many problems, didn't you just say it, a friend I met when I was working in an antique shop." I said, "There is nothing wrong with him, he just likes to take risks, and he likes someone alone. Do you two have a different aura? ?”

"Looking back at the horoscope, it may be that the horoscope does not match." Munro said.

I had a sore throat and didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, we set foot on the way back. Tao Ran's car was also found and repaired. On the way back, she walked away from us, and we The three big men had nothing to say in the car. After finally returning to the imperial capital, I suddenly hesitated, where else could I go?The antique shop burned like that and there is no money to restore it, go to Monrona?The location of Caishikou is not pleasant.

Lao Jiu said, "Do you want to live with me?"

"It's okay, hey, boy, you can take care of yourself, I'll go first." I followed Lao Jiu without saying a word, Lao Jiu's residence is in an apartment, the old one is old, but the inside is definitely like My family, I haven't come back for more than a year, Lao Jiu stood at the door and said suddenly: "I lost the key."

My head froze: "I lost it? Then how do I get in?"

Lao Jiu looked left and right, saw no one, and said, "Find a wire for me."

I can't laugh or cry, I have to use this method to enter my house, there is no way, I went to the construction place downstairs to find a wire, I stood behind Lao Jiu, he broke open the lock in two or three times, after entering, Lao Jiu suddenly He rushed to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth, choking him to tears, and wiped his mouth for the last time: "Ge Laozi, I want to die of this taste."

I threw the bag on the sofa and heard a "bang", and then I remembered the radio station. After I took it out, I was suddenly shocked: "Old Jiu, that's not right."

Lao Jiu, who had just finished drinking, was in a good mood: "What's wrong."

"That group still has accomplices, otherwise how would they use the wireless station?" I said, "Isn't it just to communicate with the outside world? That guy said KU, KU, what does it mean?"

"Whatever it is, anyway, I just met there accidentally, and they all died." Lao Jiu said disapprovingly: "KU or something, who knows what it is, people are going to die, just say a few random words, Lin Tianyi, I didn't do it before. I found out that you are suspicious."

My hand clapped on the radio, is it suspicious?

Lao Jiu hasn’t lived here for more than a year. There is a lot of dust in the house. It can’t be seen that he likes cleaning. He immediately cleaned up the house. After cleaning together, Lao Jiu finally started to sing the main event.

"Lin Tianyi, I've been holding back all this time. Come on, let's see the true face of this purple luminous pearl." Lao Jiu wrapped the luminous pearl tightly and took it out carefully, while I closed the curtains, and the purple luminous pearl was slowly falling into place. When exposed, the faint purple halo first appeared, beautiful, like the light emitted by piercing through the fog, softly, making people want to touch it, the Ye Mingzhu is not big, just like a baby's fist , But, purple luminous pearl!
"How about it, isn't it beautiful?" Lao Jiu said, "I will make a move as soon as possible."

"It seems that my shop is saved." I wiped my face, "Unexpectedly, I was dragged into the ditch by you."

If you want to make a comeback, this is the quickest way. From now on, Lao Jiu and I will be on the same boat. I went to the bathroom to wash my face, then picked up my mobile phone and called Tao Ran, asking her to share the photos taken on the mobile phone. When she sent it, she moved quickly, and those Tangut texts were sent to my mobile phone immediately.

"Do you want someone to crack it?" Lao Jiu asked.

"Give it a try. I used to know a university professor who studied ancient characters. I don't know if there is any way to deal with Tangut characters." I said, "There are still some small things in the antique shop. I have to send some small things to show my sincerity." Can."

At this moment, the radio suddenly rang. The ticking sound was extremely ear-piercing in the silent living room. Lao Jiu and I were shocked, and Lao Jiu panicked: "What should I do?"

"Don't touch it." I was still calm: "If we receive the signal, we will have to reveal our secrets. We still don't know who those people are, and it always feels very dangerous."

The voice finally disappeared, and my thesis was verified. Someone was looking for their whereabouts and trying to restore contact with them. Lao Jiu suddenly stepped forward and hugged the radio station: "This thing is a scourge, throw it away?"

I thought for a while: "Don't worry, these people... always feel that they will have contact with us again, let's just let it go."
