Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 722 Luckily I don't have a sister like that!

"..."

"Aba aba?"

After an awkward silence, the mute girl blinked, opened her mouth, and dutifully played the role of a mute.

She's mute, so this is practically a natural performance for her!
Speak like a human being!

Hu Ming interrupted the mute girl's performance with a blank expression.

"I'm just curious. You know how women are, especially women who work in new media, their curiosity is off the charts, okay?"

The mute girl showed no embarrassment. She patted Hu Ming's hand, signaling him to loosen his collar so that she could put her feet on the ground first.

The height difference, coupled with the superhuman strength hidden beneath Hu Ming's slender body, made it easy for him to lift the tall, mute girl like a toy.

It was effortless.

"Young man?"

"I'm a man of experience, and I've seen it all. This is the first time I've ever met someone as self-righteous as you!"

Before Hu Ming could say anything, the blind man was instantly shocked and stared at the mute girl in disbelief.

Ultimately, it was the mute girl who followed them without their permission, intending to uncover their secrets, right?
From both a legal and moral standpoint, wasn't the mute girl in the wrong?
Why do I suddenly have this feeling that Hu Ming and his decision not to bring the mute girl along was a colossal crime?
The mute girl didn't speak, but the meaning conveyed in her bright eyes was exactly what she meant.

The mute girl declared confidently: That's right, you were wrong not to bring me along!
This woman's eyes speak volumes.

"...Are we that close? We just met, didn't we? What's with this weirdly overly familiar attitude of yours?"

"And what about your brother? I won't lie to you, what we're doing is quite dangerous. You can tell from the fact that we're carrying guns. Didn't he stop you?"

Hu Ming's lips twitched violently; this was truly the first time he had ever seen anything like it!
"Anyway, I've already obtained the precious images and materials of the funeral rites, and I've sent him home."

"Besides, he has no right to tell me what to do!"

The mute girl gave a soft hum.

"Damn, that's incredible!"

The blind man whistled.

"Stop gloating and egging us on, this is troublesome, it'll just be a burden, okay?"

"What does this have to do with me? It's your burden, and with your abilities, Master Hu Ming, what can a mere burden possibly cause?"

"Besides, don't you like this mature, independent type with their own thoughts?"

"You've got a knack for dealing with women, don't be modest, Jinfu!"

The blind man took a few steps back and raised his hands to indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

"???"

The mute girl seemed to understand something significant from the blind man's words, and she crossed her arms and looked at Hu Ming warily.

"Damn it, men hit women. I'm a good man. I never lay a hand on women. I can't even bring myself to say a harsh word to one."

"And... you blind man, are you really unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"

"Of all those burdens who have been with me all these years, which one has come out alive?"

Hu Ming said quietly.

"...I forgot, either you stood by and watched them die, or you got them all caught in the crossfire." "Except for your few companions, they're all fucking dead!"

The blind man remained silent, thinking carefully, "Isn't Hu Ming a toxic person?"
If it weren't for the fact that it helped with getting down to the ground, none of those thugs who went down with Hu Ming would have survived.

"Hey, isn't that settled?"

"So, if you don't want to lose your life at such a young age, you should just go back with your brother."

After thinking for a moment, Hu Ming changed the subject: "Of course, I know you might be attracted to my good looks."

"After all, in this damned era, people really do judge others based on their appearance. I've encountered this kind of thing many times, so I won't miss yours."

"Here, my WeChat ID. Add me. It's good to contact you when we get back. There's no need to risk your life here."

Hu Ming pulled up his WeChat QR code and openly showed it to the mute girl…

“…I’m not interested in little kids.”

The mute girl gave Hu Ming a disdainful look, but still obediently scanned the QR code to add him as a friend.

Ah, women!
They say no, but their bodies tell a different story.

"Little brat?"

Hu Ming remained silent, touched his eighteen-year-old cheek, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"A typical old-fashioned guy trying to look young by putting on green paint..."

The blind man smacked his lips.

"??? Isn't that right? Aren't you about seventeen or eighteen?"

The mute girl was bewildered.

"That's right, you're right, I'm exactly eighteen, in the prime of my life."

"Alright, let's go. We're not taking any action for now, so don't waste your time. Let's go back."

Hu Ming stopped the blind man from saying what he was about to say, and under the mute girl's angry gaze, he grabbed her head with one hand and dragged her towards the village.

After returning to their residence, they went to the mute girl's residence first.

Leaving aside where Hu Ming and the blind man would stay, there are plenty of ways to resolve this, but first, they should at least return the sister to her brother, right?
However.…

Why haven't you left yet?

Upon meeting, the mute girl exuded an aura of disgust and gestured at her poor brother.

Hu Ming looked at the mute girl's brother with pity.

Thank goodness I don't have a younger sister...

Hu Ming felt a sense of relief for the first time.

Otherwise, a rebellious sister who makes her brother lose all authority would be lenient enough to be beaten eight times a day!
Having found the village's leader, an elderly witch, Hu Ming and the blind man launched a money offensive, offering irresistible sums to secure a half-month stay in a private courtyard.

Although the blind man seems to risk his life for a mere 30,000 yuan every time, in reality, neither Hu Ming nor the blind man are short of money.

When needed, no matter how much is spent, it doesn't hurt.

On their first night in the mute village, Hu Ming and the blind man's courtyard welcomed their first guest, a guest who had sneaked into the village.
