Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Chapter 125 Wanting to Do Something Big

"who are you?"

Lao Yang stared intently at Su Li.

“You are not Lao Wu’s brother at all.”

Su Li raised an eyebrow, unsurprised, without refuting.

"Given Lao Wu's personality, if he really had a cousin as capable as you, he would be smug to death in front of me."

In my memory, Wu Xie was a very traditional Chinese boy who, besides studying hard, could also cause trouble and be a show-off.

During my rebellious teenage years, I once secretly wore Wu Sansheng's big leather shoes and applied greasy hair gel to my head.

Given his immature and childish personality back then, the day after he found out he had a particularly powerful cousin, he would take his main body and his little cousin to take turns messing with all of his male elders.

"Cough..." Wu Xie awkwardly touched his nose under Su Li's amused gaze. He should just say what he meant, instead of bringing up his shortcomings!

"This really is my brother..."

Lao Yang gave him a look that seemed to say, "Do you think I believe you?"

Su Li comforted the slightly offended Xiao Tianzhen, but did not refute her...

Hmm... He's a 'man' who's determined to be the older brother to all his friends.

(Look at this kid, at an age when other boys are secretly hoping to be their brothers' fathers, this kid only wants to be the older brother...)

"You two are quite the actors, you completely fooled me," Lao Yang said with a wry smile.

Wu Xie got angry when he heard him say that.

"You lied to me so brazenly, and now I can't even lie to you back? You're such a hypocrite!"

When Lao Yang heard Wu Xie say this, his body suddenly stiffened.

"You...know everything?"

These words came out of nowhere, and Liang Shiye was a little confused at the moment, but Wuxie and Suli both knew what he was talking about.

Wu Xie nodded somewhat solemnly.

He knew all of this...

I know that my old friend died here alone in despair, and that Aunt Jie, who was gentle and kind and very good at sewing, died alone in front of the sewing machine.

She was just days away from her son's release from prison...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lao Yang's face seemed to be both crying and laughing, carrying a feeling that was hard to tell whether it was resentment from shattered hope or relief from letting go of everything.

"How did you know? Why did you know? You're my last hope, don't you know that?"

The sound, though not loud, seemed to explode right next to Wu Xie's ears.

Looking at Lao Yang now, was he wrong? If he hadn't known all this, then Lao Yang...

Seeing Wu Xie's guilty expression, Su Li raised her hand and slapped him on the back of the head.

Caught off guard by the sudden slap, Wu Xiaogou stumbled and, forgetting all about feeling guilty, looked at Su Li with a blank expression.

"Are you stupid? Did his original plan succeed?"

Wu Xie thought for a moment...

The original version of himself was completely misled throughout the entire journey without knowing anything, and Lao Yang still failed to complete his plan...

So my guilt is a bit unnecessary...

Seeing that the puppy had come to its senses, Su Li patted the back of its head where she had slapped it. "Let's not talk about that. Do you mind if he uses you for this?"

Wu Xie was taken aback by the question, thinking that it was pointless to talk about these things now, but in the end, she still thought about it seriously, following Su Li's words.

"It seems... she doesn't mind too much."

When I was a child, I would take Lao Yang everywhere to cause trouble every day, but Aunt Jie never gave me a hard time. Every time she saw me, she would smile gently.

For a while, I even went to Lao Yang's house every day to freeload meals.

Aunt Jie would often bring her own share when making clothes for Lao Yang.

So he wasn't really bothered by Lao Yang's idea of ​​using him to 'revive' Aunt Jie; what bothered him was Lao Yang's deception.

Su Li nodded, "That's settled then."

He stepped forward and squatted down in front of Lao Yang, who was still looking dejected.

"You... come with me."

Lao Yang looked up at Su Li, then at Wu Xie.

"Stop looking, come here." Su Li said, walking towards the corner furthest from Wu Xie.

Lao Yang didn't know what Su Li was going to do, but his feet unconsciously followed her.

"Do you still want to bring your mother back to life?"

Su Li immediately delivered a critical hit, stunning Lao Yang.

What did this annoying child say when he had lost all hope and was even contemplating whether to drag them down with him to die?

I want more!!!

Of course I still want to!!!

Lao Yang looked at Su Li with shining eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw.

"I think, I think!"

Even if we can't live in this world?

Lao Yang was confused for a moment. What did it mean that he couldn't live in this world?

"It's like going to another world, a world where there might be some terrifying things, and you might have to kill people for it."

Something terrifying? Someone killed for it?

"No problem, I'm fine. As long as my mom can come back to life, even if it's a different world, I will protect her!"

There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as I can live with my mother, it doesn't matter where I go.

Su Li nodded. She had originally wanted to pat him on the shoulder with satisfaction, but then thought better of it and decided against it, not wanting to ruin his reputation.

"I feel like we can give it a shot, but I can't guarantee absolute success. However, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, you'll have to go to another world. Can you accept that?"

Of course, he could disregard Lao Yang's wishes and sell him off directly, but Lao Yang is, after all, a 'person' with human thoughts and memories.

Upholding the humanitarian spirit I just learned, wouldn't it be better if he could go to work happily and joyfully?

The Blood Corpse Forbidden Sea Monkey who was forcibly sold: We want to complain! Why are you treating us differently?

Lao Yang nodded quickly upon hearing this. "Yes, I can accept it. Don't worry, I will not force it if it doesn't work out. I will definitely follow your arrangements."

Su Li nodded in satisfaction. He was planning something big; if it actually worked...

There's a big difference between being sold to the supernatural world as a discounted item and being sold to the supernatural world as a luxury item.

hey-hey……

"Bang...bang...bang..."

"boom……"

Suddenly, a series of clattering sounds came from above, followed by a loud crashing sound as something heavy was thrown down, startling all four of them into looking up at the sky.

"What's that noise?" Master Liang was already terrified. Was such a loud noise because some monster had come out again?

"It's up there, not far from us. Let's climb up and take a look."

Wu Xie already had a guess in mind and suggested that the group climb a little further up to take a look.

The army of ghost-faced monkeys had stopped moving. Su Li had no objection to Wu Xie's suggestion, Lao Yang obediently agreed, and Liang Shiye followed Wu Xie's lead. The four of them were of one mind and began to pack up the backpacks that had been left aside.

Lao Yang picked up the racket that had fallen to the side and was out of bullets, but couldn't bear to throw it away, so he put it back in his lower back.

Su Li deactivated the defensive formation, put away the jade compass, and the group, led by Lao Yang, continued to climb upwards.
