Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 777 Ancient Ruins!

It has to be said that among the women around Hu Ming, only the little mute girl is more pure, or rather, a bit more innocent.

Aside from her excessive curiosity and ambition, she is a typical independent career woman of our time, without any other traits.

Looking at it from another angle, isn't curiosity and ambition precisely the hallmarks of successful career women?
During the days of accompanying the mute girl on shopping and dates like ordinary people, Hu Ming felt the joy and peace of being an ordinary person in his previous life, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Those who are tightly bound by murky mud probably both envy and long for this touch of pure white, this kind of peaceful life, right?
"Ha! Am I really getting old? When did I start having such pointless sentiments? Humans are so sentimental; what we can't have is always more alluring?"

Shaking his head, Hu Ming banished the weak thought of seclusion that had flashed through his mind.

"Huh? What did you just say?"

In the movie theater, the mute girl, deeply moved by the melodramatic romance film, leaned on Hu Ming's shoulder, wiping away the endless stream of tears.

"I mean... your brother is really funny. You're so grown up, does he still act like a little kid?"

"Not only do you want to sneak up on your sister's date, but you also want to drag all of you along?"

"Is he afraid I'll take advantage of you? He's probably overthinking it. I'm very gentle with women, and I generally won't resort to violence."

Hu Ming pinched his nose and pointed behind him without turning his head.

From the moment I sat down in the movie theater, my keen intuition immediately sensed the menacing gazes emanating from behind me.

Looking back, wow!
The little mute boy's brother, along with his colleagues, men and women, totaled about ten good people.

If Hu Ming hadn't seen many big scenes, he probably would have chickened out under these gazes.

"Forget about my brother, he's just an idiot!"

The mute girl turned around and saw that an entire row of eyes were staring at the two of them. She leaned against Hu Ming's shoulder, covered her face, and sighed.

Please, do you really think she's a three-year-old girl?
Their relationship has progressed rapidly in the past few days, and at the suggestion of the mute girl, Hu Ming has also met her colleagues.

…It's quite like meeting the parents.

At least, in front of her brother and colleagues, her intimate gestures with Hu Ming were natural and no longer made the little mute girl feel shy.

"If I had a younger sister, and some jerk wanted to date her, I'd probably go even further than your brother, like, holding a gun to that little brat's head?"

"Or perhaps, get rid of that little rascal and bury him in the orchard as fertilizer?"

"So, I can probably understand your brother. Don't worry, I won't be angry about it."

Hu Ming smiled and rubbed the little mute boy's head.

I have to say, it's incredibly exciting to be able to do something slightly intimate with your sister right under her brother's nose!
Look, the glares behind me are practically spitting fire!
"If you're enjoying a normal life, don't just casually say such terrible things..."

The little mute boy rolled his eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

In short, Hu Ming always experienced a long-lost, simple happiness during his dates with the little mute girl.

For the next two weeks, Hu Ming kept oscillating between Yin Nanfeng, Huo Xiuxiu, and the little mute.

Occasionally, A Ning would also run back to Beijing to confront Yin Nanfeng and Huo Xiuxiu, desperately seeking thrills. During this period, Hong Xia even occasionally displayed her bolder side, pulling Sheng Sheng Man aside and, in front of Yin Nanfeng and Huo Xiuxiu, displaying an intimacy with Hu Ming that went beyond a superior-subordinate relationship…

Fortunately, for reasons unknown, all the women around Hu Ming tacitly avoided meeting the little mute.

During his more than two weeks of rest, Hu Ming didn't really have a complete break.

One after another, Hu Ming has dispatched several teams to the United States to investigate some matters with the help of Yang's wife.

The pure mother stone is in hand; what's lacking now is simply a massive amount of vitality.

However, using tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions of lives to create one person's immortality is too heinous, and even Hu Ming could not do that.

After all, he still considers himself a normal person!

In that case, we should set our sights on a particular creature.

However, this is not something that can be resolved in a short time. Hu Ming still has a lot of free time before taking action.

Moreover, before this happens, the problem of blindness can't be left unresolved indefinitely.

Hey~
While Hu Ming was happily shopping with the little mute boy, his phone beeped – it was a text message notification.

Upon opening it, Hu Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.

He is blind.

Before Hu Ming could even receive news from the Zhang family, he received news from the blind man first…

This relates to an incident that occurred in Jianpuzhai in the 1940s, where Japanese soldiers discovered an ancient ruin.
What the hell is this plot twist?
Hu Ming was a little confused. He thought for a long time but couldn't find a similar plot in his memory. Was this his third uncle's story?
Well, over the years, I've explored quite a few strange tombs that I've never seen in my previous life, so one more wouldn't be surprising!
Well, in any case, Hu Ming did become somewhat interested.

When stillness reaches its peak, movement arises.

After being idle for more than half a month, I was pleasantly surprised. Thinking about it, I haven't had much to do lately, so it's good to go out and have some fun.

Hu Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully.

In short, anything that makes a blind person uneasy is bound to bring a pleasant surprise.

The little mute didn't peek at Hu Ming's text messages, but judging from Hu Ming's changing expressions, he probably discovered something interesting.

Over the course of their time together, the little mute had come to understand Hu Ming quite well; he was a wanderer who acted on impulse.

It's probably impossible to get Hu Mingping to settle down somewhere ordinary.

Are you going on a long trip?

The little mute didn't try to stop Hu Ming, but asked with a hint of reluctance.

"Um"

"How long will it take approximately?"

"Well, it's hard to say. It'll probably take at least a month, since the location is a bit far."

Hu Ming laughed and said, "But don't worry, there's absolutely no need to worry about my safety. Like I said, anything that could pose a fatal threat to me probably hasn't been born yet, right?"
