[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

Chapter 102

After saying this, Ruan Qi patted my head and walked outside the door. I turned off the flashlight and tiptoed to the door.

The crack of this door is not very tight, from here I can barely see the situation outside.

I heard a "click", and Ruan Qi fastened the lock that I had thrown on the ground again, and then he turned around. At that time, the servant of Xie's family just walked into the yard with a flashlight.

"Master Ruan." The servant said, "It's so late, haven't you finished what you should see?"

"It will be ready soon." Ruan Qi smiled and raised the book that he didn't know where to get, "There are a lot of things, and if you are not careful, you will forget the time."

"It's already past nine o'clock." The servant's face was very gloomy, and he was not as respectful as before. "Master Ruan has also stayed here for an afternoon. When it's time to go back, go back as soon as possible."

"I'll take a closer look." Ruan Qi said, "Isn't Xie's curfew at eleven o'clock? Before that time, I will definitely go out."

"In that case, please step aside, Young Master Ruan." The servant said, "We are going to search this yard to see if there is anyone suspicious."

My heart tightened, as long as they got to this door, they would definitely find the fact that the door was not really locked, so that I would have no way to escape.

The servant had already walked up, but Ruan Qi took a step to the side, stopping the servant just in time.

"What do you mean?" Ding Xie's eyes darkened.

"I have been staying in this yard just now, you are going to search now, do you not trust me?" Ruan Qi said lightly.

His tone was not as gentle as usual, and the servant was taken aback for a moment, obviously he did not expect that Ruan Qi, who was always soft-tempered, would suddenly become like this.

"...It doesn't mean that." The servant said, "We...we are just acting according to the family law."

"Search the courtyard where the guest is, and the Xie family has such a family law?" Ruan Qi asked, "If Master Hua knows, what do you think he will think?"

"Master Hua, who knows whether Master Hua is alive or dead." Among the attendants behind the servant, someone said this with a sneer, and the servant's face changed in an instant, and he turned his head in surprise and anger: "Talk!"

What this entourage said may also be what many people in the Xie family are thinking now. The Xie family is now without a leader, and the undercurrent is surging, but everyone only dares to think about it in the bottom of their hearts.

"Presumptuous." Ruan Qi said coldly, "As a domestic servant, how dare you curse your master like this, according to your Xie family's family law, how should you deal with this?"

"One hundred rods, one month's confinement." The servant quickly replied, and the attendant behind him who spoke just now was even more frightened at this moment.

Even though there has been no news from Xiaohua for more than half a month, Xie's family is still in awe of him.

"Do you want me to be an outsider to supervise you?" Ruan Qi's voice was cold, "I should know what to do."

"Pull him down." The servant turned around with a frown, and a few attendants responded and dragged the talkative attendant out of the yard, and then the servant turned around and said in a more respectful tone, "Master Ruan... I'm afraid the person who caused the chaos at home hasn't left Xie's house yet, we..."

"When I leave, you can search as you like." Ruan Qi said lightly, "Now I'm a guest, and I don't like others to disturb me."

The servant pursed his lips, wanting to refute but didn't dare to refute, probably Ruan Qi's aura just now made him terrified, he finally saluted slightly: "Master Ruan, please hurry up."

The servant backed away, and I let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. I didn’t know if there was anyone outside. I decided to wait for Ruan Qi to open the door before continuing to look through the files. Fortunately, it took less than 2 minutes for Ruan Qi to open the door. the door.

"It's okay." Ruan Qi patted his chest with lingering fear, "If it wasn't for that person's mouth being too mean, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to stop them."

"I'm convinced." I said, "I thought you were a jewelry seller, but I didn't expect you to scare so many old fried dough sticks by yourself."

Ruan Qi smiled: "I sell jewelry now, and I was also a craftsman before, otherwise I wouldn't know Master Hua."

"Crafter?" I froze for a moment, "What was your name back then? Why haven't I heard of your name?"

"When I was on the road, I'm afraid the third master hadn't made his debut yet." Ruan Qi smiled again, "I haven't been in the land for more than ten years. It's normal that the third master has never heard of my name. matter."

"Did something happen?" I asked.

Inverted fighting is a very dangerous industry, but it is inexplicably addictive. This is true. Craftsmen who want to wash their hands in the gold basin have either suffered serious injuries or been psychologically destroyed. Encountering various dangers in the fight, after recovering, I still miss the excitement a little bit, and finally go back to the old road.

"I almost died once." Ruan Qi said, "It was Master Hua who saved me. At that time, my savings were enough for me to open a shop and live well. After thinking about it, I opened such a shop. I didn't expect to start a business. On the contrary, it is more profitable than Dao Dou."

"You are attractive to little girls, and you can talk. The jewelry business must be profitable." I said casually, "I have a friend who is also like this. He opened a shop to earn money from girls."

"That's too flattering to me." Ruan Qi laughed, "Okay, young master, I won't waste any more time. If you want to read something, go and read it quickly. I'll finish the book outside, and I'll give it to you by the way." Wait, I can only wait until around eleven o'clock, you should have heard it just now."

"OK." I said, and when Ruan Qi was about to walk out the door, I couldn't help asking, "Why are you helping me so much?"

"Master Hua mentioned you to me, saying that you are one of his few friends. Something happened to Master Hua. You must have come here to find a way to save him." Ruan Qi said, "Master Hua is My savior, I'm just a small shopkeeper now, I can't do much in obscurity, but if I can do a little bit for Master Hua, I will definitely not be vague."

"Thank you." I had mixed feelings, but I could only say this.

"No need." Ruan Qi closed the door with a smile.

I turned on the flashlight and continued to search, and soon I found the files from 1990, but there was still not even a single word about Huo Chi. At that time, Xiaohua was about to become the head of the family. If there is no news, it would be too wrong.

I opened the 1991 file in my hand, and as soon as I opened it, I realized something was wrong. The news about the Huo family on the first page was completely wiped out by ink. Obviously, the recorder was trying to cover up something.

I flipped back excitedly, every one or two pages there would be traces of such obliteration, and they were all related to the Huo family. I continued to flip through, observing the context of the blacked-out part, hoping to find some flaws, and finally in this dossier On the last page of , the traces of blacking are very scribbled, and it can be seen that the person responsible for the blacking is a little anxious at this moment.

The strokes of the last line of characters can be vaguely recognized. I looked carefully for a long time, and finally managed to recognize that sentence.

"The two families hosted a banquet and drank happily. The conversation was very pleasant and the atmosphere was happy. Yuchi was also among the entourage."

rain late?Isn't it Huo Chi?

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration. The moment this idea appeared in my mind, the files in my shocked hands fell to the ground.

I didn't have time to take care of that file, so I ran straight to the row of bookshelves on the left.
