Chapter 8

d…”"Can you wait a week" I thought, "I'll start by going into debt and then ask Second Brother for money after I find him."Li Jing immediately said in a hurried voice, "No! Those people only gave our...I also took out my snakeskin bag and squatted down, stuffing the bronze objects inside.

Those round and square cauldrons were heavy, I struggled to carry them. My older brother took care of me, letting me pick up the smaller ones.

I just put in those bronze beans and small trumpets, these kinds of bronze artifacts piled together are not strange because during the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods, these things were all kitchen utensils.

The bronze cauldron was used for cooking meat, the goblet was used for drinking alcohol, and the bronze bean (vessel) was used to hold salt and seasonings. The role of this bronze bean was similar to the condiment dish that modern people use to dip dumplings in vinegar.

What does it mean to pick up money with a sack At this moment, I am picking up money with a sack.

I'm rather thin and not very strong. Looking at my sack almost full, I decided to send it up first.

I twisted my head from side to side, and just then, the headlights illuminated a corner in the ear room.

"Huh What's that thing A water tank"

"Second brother! Look quickly! There's a tank!"

Old Sun Er was earnestly stuffing a bronze cauldron into his bag when he was startled by my sudden loud voice.

"Damn, Yunfeng, what are you yelling about You scared me."

"

Later on, I understood that what they meant by "several points" was tens of thousands. One point equaled ten thousand, so one hundred points equaled one million. Back then in the year 2000, with the average salary level, many people couldn't even earn one point in a whole year.

Sun Lao Da's main business is wind power and sales.

He usually doesn't speak on the walkie-talkie unless there's something going on. Conversely, if Big Sun takes the initiative to speak on the walkie-talkie while working, it definitely means strangers are nearby.

"We've got the head chamber, and there's also an east chamber. It's weird though, I can't see the main tomb chamber anywhere. Looks like we have to set up base here. We haven't found it yet, heaven knows how many treasures are in here. This job won't be done in less than ten or eight days."

">

"

"According to the tomb robbing world, 'base camp' specifically refers to a situation where you encounter a large tomb. It takes days or even weeks to fully explore it. You need to set up a base camp around this large tomb for operations."

In the old days, when tomb robbers met, they would often ask each other: "So and so, I heard you raided two major bases last year"

This person replied, "There's nothing special about it, it's just luck. I only hit two small outposts."

">

Setting up a hideout is risky because it can easily be discovered. What if some old man or woman decides to take a walk in the mountains in the morning and accidentally falls into our secret tunnel Then we're finished.

Therefore, return and risk are positively correlated. To achieve high returns, you have to take on higher risks.

Wang, after careful consideration, nodded and said: "The goods from Western Zhou have been skyrocketing in price on the black market these years. I think it's worth taking this risk. Let's make this place our base of operations."

"

Knowing we had made off with the goods, Sun Lao Da immediately contacted Yī Kè Zhì (one dot) and had him send someone over to move the stuff and help cover up the hole.

This mole is also a remarkable woman. Through several encounters, I learned that the moles she recognizes as older brothers and younger brothers are all from powerful backgrounds. This person not only serves Wang Batao as a logistical support manager, but it is also said that she moonlights as a logistical support manager for other gangs.

Logically speaking, this was certainly against the rules, but the mark on Wang's head had strong abilities, so he pretended not to see it and turned a blind eye.

This is just like the professional managers in those big companies, who often hold important positions in multiple companies at the same time.

One mole is raising a group of young men. They willingly and wholeheartedly follow the mole. At night, they bring us generators and water pumps and help us hide our tunnels. These are all things done by these young men under the mole's command.

Our group back then, if we didn't have a single mole, it wouldn't have worked.

The roof soil with green clay paste was too obvious, it was an emergency and couldn't be thrown away at will, so they brought it back too.

This kind of soil is like a time bomb. We don't know how many people in our line of work have gotten into trouble because of it. Back in the day, the grave-robbing gang from Babaoshan in Beijing got caught because they left a small pile of bluish-white soil in the mountain. An old lady taking a walk found it, which led to the whole gang being wiped out and serving ten years in prison.

The next day.

Back at the small guesthouse in Shun De, I was brushing my teeth by the sink, pondering where to go later and shed those earthy blues.

Just then.

"Slap!" I got a heavy smack on my butt from behind.

I was brushing my teeth and when I got slapped, I hadn't spit out the mouthwash yet, so I ended up swallowing it all.

I angrily turned around, and saw a mole wearing suspenders, laughing.

Though she's much older than me, a mole has taken good care of herself and her figure. She's rich and uses the best skincare products at the time. The pair of pink straps on her dress exposed her white thighs, making my throat dry just by looking.

"Hehehe.... " A mole, all over me, said: "Xiao Yunfeng, yesterday I heard Lao Er say that you haven't even touched a little girl's hand Is that right"

I blushed and said, "It's none of your business."

">

A mole made me blush, and suddenly she burst into a fit of giggles.

She winked at me and said, "Xiaoyunfeng, wouldn't you like to be my forty-fifth man..."

Back then, I was young and naive. I didn't understand the ways of the world, so I blurted out: "I don't want to! When you reach forty, wouldn't I have to wear 99 green hats You shameless woman, don't even try to harm me, Xiang Yunfeng!"

I scolded a mole, and it suddenly got angry. It raised the mop from the inn and chased me all over the yard.

At noon, taking advantage of lunchtime break, I carried my black backpack and dressed like a high school student, wandering aimlessly around Shun De city.

The backpack is full of soil, light and gray. I need to find a suitable place to spread it out.

Walking along, I kept thinking about one thing.

I don't know what happened, but last night at the tomb's west chamber, in the corner, the large water jar with the lid on it.

I always feel that something is wrong. the short dwarf old man and said word by word, "If I, Chen Hong, haven't guessed wrong, you are Su Qin's sword-bearer Xiao Zhe Tou, aren't you You are from the Changchun Society, how come You mixed w...
