Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 614 Both Falling Sick

Standing on the deck, gazing at the lake, I pondered for a long time.

Looking back on what has happened in the past few months.

Changchun wants to cover up the truth, Jingmen wants to reshape the martial arts world, Chaosheng wants to find out the cause of his great-grandfather's death, Lao Haigou wants to avenge his son, Shi Wuchang wants to balance loyalty and love, but Liu wants to wait for his senior brother, Xu Tongshan wants to suppress the Jiang family, and Jiang Zhaoxue wants to control her family...

Everyone, including Master Ma, unknowingly fell into the mastermind's trap.

Jiang Zhaoxue does possess wisdom and strategic skills beyond her years, but she is still far inferior to the leader; they are not in the same league. In this regard, only Zhuge Qing can rival the leader.

At this moment, Xiaoxuan walked over.

"Yunfeng, you fell ill as soon as you came back. What exactly happened on the mountain last night? Didn't we already win?"

Xiaoxuan changed into jeans and a white shirt. Her face no longer had a childish look; she appeared clean and pure.

"We didn't win; the boss said there was no winner or loser."

"Xuanxuan!"

"Brother...you're here too."

At this moment, Fang Xiaopan came onto the deck carrying a plastic bag. He took out a flat leather box from the plastic bag, opened the box and said to Xiaoxuan, "This is a rhinoceros horn comb that I bought at the temple fair yesterday. The shopkeeper said that using this comb regularly will improve the quality of your hair. I'm giving it to you."

Xiaoxuan glanced at me and said, "I can't accept this, no need."

"I'll accept it. It's a token of their appreciation, and it's made of buffalo horn after all," I said speechlessly.

"It's not a buffalo horn! It's a rhinoceros horn! I spent half a month's salary to buy it!" he shouted.

I laughed and said, "Okay, whatever angle you say it is, it is."

Xiaoxuan had a strange expression on her face, but she accepted the box.

Fang Xiaopan rubbed his hands together and immediately said with a smile, "Xuanxuan, when the boat docks later, shall we go play? There are stilt walkers and lion dances at the temple fair tonight."

This kid's thoughts are written all over his face.

I stepped forward, grabbed his neck, dragged him aside, and whispered, "Brother, are you out of your mind or do you not respect me at all?"

"what?"

"What? Even if you're pursuing her, you can't do it in front of me."

"What? You're not convinced? Want to have a match?"

He looked frightened and mumbled something under his breath, but I couldn't hear what he said.

I couldn't help but say, "She lied to you about us being siblings, and you actually believed her? Stay away from her. I'm doing this for your own good. We're leaving in a few days and will never come back to Chun'an."

"Protect her."

"What did you say??"

"I told you, you must protect her."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the cabin. I just thought this kid was inexplicable.

Douyazi had been out buying medicine for ages and hadn't come back yet, so I called him because I was worried. He told me that he had sent his boss to Hangzhou to catch a train, so he would be back later.

Now that the six cremations have been completed, Chief Ji's task has been finished. I learned that the chief secretly transferred a sum of money to him. I didn't ask for the exact amount, but it should be several hundred thousand. Chief Ji thanked me on the phone, saying that the name "Little Chief Ji" was very well chosen, and he had officially decided to requisition him.

I went back to my room, lay down, crossed my legs, put my hands behind my head, and slowly closed my eyes.

Suddenly I heard the door being pushed open.

Then a pair of hands were placed on my stomach.

"Stop bothering me, Xiaoxuan, I'm tired."

Xiaoxuan didn't say anything. She rested her head on my shoulder and gently patted my stomach, like an adult coaxing a child to sleep.

And just like that, I fell asleep quickly.

Because I was living on a boat, I had a strange dream amidst the swaying and rocking.

It was a very scary and bizarre dream.

In my dream, I was wearing a headlamp and carrying a bamboo basket filled with fine sand on a very dark dirt road.

At first, I had a lot of trouble walking and was constantly panting.

As time went by, a lot of sand fell through the gaps in the bamboo basket, and then my steps became easier.

There are many old locust trees on both sides of the dirt road, their branches sprawling and menacing.

Then a fork in the road appeared ahead. I looked left and right and chose the fork.

After walking for a long time, we suddenly saw a "grave mound".

Seeing that no one was around, I took off the bamboo basket, grabbed a shovel, and started digging at the grave.

Soon a coffin was revealed from the ground. The coffin was painted red and a small black Buddha statue was placed on top of it.

I threw away the small Buddha statue and then pried it open with a shovel.

The coffin contained a complete female corpse. It looked as if she had just been buried during the day. Her eyes were closed, her hands were crossed over her chest, and her lips were red. Apart from her slightly pale complexion, she was very beautiful and charming.

I turned up my headlamp, stared at the female corpse for a while, and couldn't help but swallow.

I reached out and unbuttoned the first button below her neck.

Seeing no response, he unbuttoned the second button.

I lowered my head and kissed him.

The female corpse remained unresponsive.

I was so happy, I kissed him again.

Just then, my tongue was suddenly bitten!

I am in so much pain! I struggle desperately to escape!

In my panic, I grabbed a shovel and used the handle to press down hard on its neck, but it only bit harder!

My tongue was bitten and blood kept dripping out. Then, I followed what my boss had taught me: I put my hands under his armpits and then suddenly exerted force.

Bang! !

The woman's body was turned over, and at the same time, the coffin lid was closed.

I screamed for help! But the surroundings were eerily quiet.

I told myself not to panic, I had to find a way out.

I tried everything, but I couldn't open the coffin lid; I was trapped inside.

After a long time, just as I was about to give up and wait for death, I suddenly heard a series of "quack quack quack" sounds.

Following the sound, I saw a toad.

The toad had a red string tied to its leg, and the other end of the string led somewhere unknown.

I dug furiously with a shovel following the direction the red rope extended. Soon, I dug through the soil and saw a dark hole.

Crawling through the hole, they found themselves inside another coffin. It was spacious, and an old man dressed in a blue silk burial robe was sitting inside.

This person was none other than Old Master Xia.

I asked Grandpa Xia how I should get out.

Grandpa Xia suddenly opened his mouth wide and kept making strange "uh uh uh" sounds.

“Tell me! How do I get out?” I shouted.

The old man pointed to his right leg.

To my surprise, I saw that he also had a red rope tied around his leg.

.....

"Yunfeng!"

"Wake up, Yunfeng!"

I woke up with a start.

What came into view was Xiaoxuan's anxious face, her head also beside her.

"You scared me to death, Yunfeng! I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did! You kept yelling and screaming! I even pricked your finger with a needle!"

"Yunfeng, did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes, head down, I feel really uncomfortable all over."

"Where do you feel unwell?" she asked with concern, turning her head away.

"I...I have a headache, my body aches, and I feel like there's a fire burning in my chest, but my hands and feet are very cold."

Xiao Xuan touched my forehead and said with concern, "You have a fever, Yunfeng. You probably caught a cold like the boss."

I drank half a bowl of water, but I still felt terrible all over; my throat hurt when I spoke.

I forced myself to stay alert and asked, "Boss, could it be...?"

He firmly said, "Trust me, Yunfeng. It won't happen. Yazai will be back soon. She'll be fine after taking her medicine and sleeping. What nightmare did you have?"

"What dream...."

"Hey, I dreamt that a ghost bit my tongue."
