Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 741 This matter of boiling water can't be let go!
Liu Sang: I want to die, I've embarrassed myself so much!
But the excruciating pain had rendered Liu Sang speechless.

Soon, they each boiled water using their own portable cooking pots.

No one had time to pay attention to Liu Sang; they quickly immersed themselves inch by inch into the scalding water, which was over 40 degrees Celsius.

The leech quickly detached from the body, writhing wildly in the water, and crawled to the edge of the pot where it was scalded to death.

Soon, the leeches on his body were removed.

that is…

Treating sensitive areas can be a bit horrifying.

It's worth mentioning that, interestingly, men and women have different preferences for water temperature when showering.

Boys are generally less tolerant of high temperatures than women.

Furthermore, to maintain the water at a high temperature and ensure it works, the pot is never removed from the flame and is constantly heated…

especially.
"Awoooooo!!!"

Led by the loud-voiced blind man, and including Wu Erbai who was covering his old face, everyone's faces were contorted as they howled.

...It's a veritable hell on earth; even hearing it from afar would terrify the faint of heart.

Liu Sang, still lying dead on the ground, felt a strange sense of comfort.

Boiled food isn't much better than spicy and numbing food!
Hu Ming and the young man had already covered their mouths and silently turned their backs to them, unable to bear the sight of this disgusting scene polluting their eyes.

"Brother, before we go back, I will never touch anything cooked in the blind man's pot, even if it means death. It's disgusting."

"Ah."

The young man nodded silently in agreement.

"Also, starting today, I'm giving up everything that's spicy, boiled, or boiled... I'm traumatized."

"..…Same."

The young man's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

This guy has lived for over a hundred years, and this is the first time he's ever seen such a terrifying scene.

Similarly, the young man was grateful for the first time that he possessed the precious blood of the Qilin.

That's terrible!
"You son of a bitch, White Snake! Screw your boiled food! It's not even as good as spicy and numbing! When I get back, I'll dock your salary for a year and change my surname to yours!"

Wu Erbai was utterly humiliated this time, experiencing such a disgrace for the first time in his life.

"Damn Wu, Second Master! Why don't you go and learn from that stubborn old man? You're too old for him anyway, aren't you?"

"Damn... Second Master, don't you think it feels quite comfortable after being hot for a while?"

At this moment, the White Snake disregarded Wu Erbai's usual dignity and suddenly spoke.

"Looks like it. You're fucking numb! So comfortable, fucking comfortable! It'll be cooked through, okay!!!"

The blind man, being cheeky, chimed in with a remark, then his face darkened.

He knew that water that had been continuously heated couldn't possibly cool down; rather, they had become accustomed to that temperature—that was terrifying!
"Holy crap, no way!?"

"Hey Blackie, don't scare me! This is no joke!"

The men turned deathly pale. They were still in the prime of their lives!
The farce eventually had to end. After it was all dealt with, everyone covered their faces and sat silently on the ground, refusing to say a word.

That's so damn embarrassing!
It's even harder to accept than death.

Hu Ming and the young man pulled the blind man to sit on the side and laughed at him wildly.

Hu Ming swore that he would never get over this in his lifetime!
"Well... Second Master, Master Ming, it's already past midnight. Why don't we get some rest? We still have a long way to go!" In the deathly silence, Er Jing, the person Wu Erbai trusted most, who was not very eloquent and was taciturn, thus having a very low profile, was maintaining the only face he had for his Second Master.

"Okay, Erjing, you're right!"

"That's right, it's time to sleep! We've been up and about for almost a day and a night, who knows what kind of crisis tomorrow will bring."

"My mom said that going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health, and staying up late is bad for you!"

"Mom is absolutely right!"

Upon hearing this, all the men, led by Wu Erbai and the blind man, agreed.

This was a nightmare, a nightmare! I can't remember anything after I woke up!
Hu Ming chuckled as he watched the group of people deceiving themselves. After thinking for a moment, he decided to give them some face.

After arranging the people to take turns keeping watch, Wu Erbai glanced at Hu Ming before going to sleep and pointed to Liu Sang, who was curled up in a ball with his face covered.

Wu Erbai saw through many things, and even though Hu Ming and Wu Sansheng hadn't told him, he had probably already deduced something.

"..."

Hu Mingyao shook his head and made a gesture, meaning it wasn't the right time yet, and to be patient.

Wu Erbai was never an impatient person, but today he had really lost face. The rest of the people were his own family, so there was nothing to say.

However, Liu Sang had already sensed something, and Wu Erbai had naturally reached the limit of his tolerance.

It's embarrassing, but you can only embarrass yourself in front of your own family!
"..."

With a slight sigh, Wu Erbai ended the silent exchange, then shrank into his sleeping bag, not wanting to see anyone.

Its prestige, built up over decades, vanished in an instant.

I should have brought that brat Wu Xie along. He's made such a fool of himself, he should be made to lose face too!
Before going to sleep, these were Wu Erbai's last grievances.

At this point in time, let's set aside Wu Xie's boring daily life in Warehouse Eleven, who has just come out of the best internal medicine hospital in Hangzhou, and Fatty's flirting with the owner of the hair salon next door.

In the Minnan region of China, Wu Sansheng and Chen Wenjin, who had disappeared for a full ten years, reappeared outside a Tulou (earthen building) deep in a remote mountainous area.

"You're here?"

"In this day and age, the only person who can openly allow a large number of skilled foreign fighters to enter the country fully armed is Hu Ming, who has always had some connections with higher-ups."

Even Zhang Yueshan might not be able to do it.

Unfazed by the sounds coming from the jungle behind him, Wu Sansheng lit a cigarette and chuckled.

Having achieved his greatest wish in life, Wu Sansheng's mindset has now changed, and he is less jaded.

"They're here. Second Master sent me to lead the team here. With your assistance, we'll take care of them once Second Master sends us a message."

"Second Master, Zhang Qiling, and Hei Xiazi are doing something very dangerous. They don't have the energy to deal with these rats who will definitely cause trouble at crucial moments..."

Wearing a tactical camouflage uniform and holding a gun, Hong Xia nodded to Chen Wenjin, who looked like a young woman in her late teens, and said in a cool tone.

This was something that had been agreed upon long ago.

“There’s just one thing… Wu Sansheng, Second Master once told me that you had contact with the group of people who are entrenched here about forty years ago, less than half a century ago.”

"Second Master said that their leader at the time was a beautiful woman, and that you had a very pleasant conversation with her?"

"She seems to admire you quite a bit... She even disregarded the mysterious taboo and told you a part of 'divine will' she heard about you from the thunder—Wu Xie's life-threatening crisis."

"Since they are the descendants of your old flame, do you really have the heart to just raze them to the ground like this?"

After a moment's hesitation, and glancing at Chen Wenjin's flawless smile, Hongxia decided to follow Hu Ming's instructions and, with a touch of reluctance, relayed all the aforementioned words.
