Chapter 55 Chai Tiantian Gets Kidnapped!
After Xu Qingling left, Bian Dong also took the tomb raiders with him.

As for the extent of the psychological trauma experienced by those tomb raiders after they woke up, that remains to be seen.

Old Mu and the others were still anxiously waiting for Xu Qingling's response, but Xu Qingling ignored them for the time being, waiting for feedback from Bian Dong.

That evening, Xu Qingling received a call from Bian Dong.

However, Bian Dong's first words surprised Xu Qingling greatly.

"You mean you want Old Mu and those old devils to keep digging?"

"Correct."

Only after Bian Dong explained the situation did Xu Qingling understand what had happened.

Speaking of which, Old Mu and his group's grave-digging last night was a lucky accident. They actually unearthed a large tomb of a king or nobleman from the Yu Dynasty, dating back 3,000 years. They also confirmed this with the grave robbers.

Those tomb raiders also discovered the tomb by chance.

Fortunately, they were scared unconscious by Old Mu and the other ghosts last night, and then they found Xu Qingling, who told him what had happened.

Otherwise, if these tomb raiders are allowed to continue digging, it will not be as simple as just the loss and resale of cultural relics.

Although both involve digging up graves, archaeology and grave robbing are different in nature.

Tomb raiders primarily hunt for valuable gold, silver, jewelry, and cultural relics, while archaeology traces the history of a particular dynasty based on those relics.

Moreover, tomb raiders are usually very rough when digging, directly destroying most of the valuable archaeological finds in the tomb.

Therefore, what archaeological experts hate most are tomb raiders.

However, tomb raiders have emerged in endless streams throughout history.

Some tombs were even discovered after being looted by grave robbers, leaving only severely damaged and empty tombs.

So, by a twist of fate, Lao Mu and his companions managed to prevent the tomb raiders from destroying the tomb.

Of course, Lao Mu and his group also dug, but they dug much better.

"...The experts kept asking me which senior experts had excavated the tomb before, saying that it was dug very well and that none of the important cultural relics were damaged."

"They also said that if possible, they hoped to invite these senior experts to continue digging."

Xu Qingling: This is really...

"Director Xu, I know about Chai Jianguo working as a food deliveryman. If you agree, we can temporarily hire those ghost gentlemen at a high salary to help out. Of course, if they do a good job, they can be promoted to permanent positions." After all, there are quite a few tombs in China that cannot be excavated for archaeological purposes due to various reasons.

Some things are impossible for humans to do; humans can't do them, but ghosts can!
Xu Qingling: Hmm, does this mean we're creating job opportunities for Lao Mu and the others?

It seems possible.

Previously, Chai Jianguo came to her and pleaded cautiously, saying that he hoped that Lao Mu and other wandering ghosts could have a chance to be reincarnated, or at least find a job so that they wouldn't go hungry.

This way, the soul won't completely dissipate in this world, leaving no trace of the person.

It is truly a terrifying thing that a person, everything about him, has been completely forgotten, and now his soul has vanished completely, leaving no trace.

Xu Qingling thought that if the ghosts like Lao Mu could participate in the tomb excavation and archaeological work and make contributions, then they might have a chance to be reincarnated.

Moreover, as ghosts, they have a significant advantage when it comes to digging up graves.

For example, a ghost's eyes can see through layers of mud and bricks, seeing everything inside—it's like X-ray vision. What some people can't see, and what machines can't detect, they can see.

Therefore, they wouldn't damage the artifacts while digging. In particular, since they were ghosts, they didn't have to worry about getting tired and needing rest after digging for a long time.

This is why, even though Lao Mu and the others were drunk last night and dug so fast, they were still able to keep the excavated tomb intact.

"I need to ask them about this." Xu Qingling didn't agree immediately.

"can."

Old Mu and the other wandering ghosts originally thought they would be punished by Xu Qingling for causing trouble last night, but to their surprise, Xu Qingling found them jobs as soon as she turned around.

This job is like digging graves, like last night—oh no, I mean archaeology.

"So, are you willing?" Xu Qingling asked.

"We're willing, we're willing." Old Mu and the other ghosts were naturally willing; digging graves was an easy task for them.

As long as you do a good job, you can eat three meals a day, and maybe you'll even have a chance to be reincarnated.

After agreeing, Old Mu and the other ghosts were naturally extremely grateful to Xu Qingling.

They felt that Xu Qingling was their benefactor.

After Lao Mu and the other ghosts agreed, Xu Qingling told Bian Dong. However, since Lao Mu and the others were ghosts, they had to be careful even if they were to participate in the work.

Then it was decided that the experts would work during the day, and Lao Mu and others would work at night.

The most urgent task at present is to excavate this tomb from the Yu Dynasty. If they perform well, there will be many more tombs that need their archaeological excavation.

Now that the decision was made, Xu Qingling also granted leave to Lao Mu and the other ghosts.

Old Mu and the other ghosts had been wandering in the suburbs for years, trapped there. They knew they were just forgotten, wandering ghosts with no one to worship them, without even the chance to be reincarnated. They were just waiting for the day they would completely disappear. Because they already knew the outcome, they had long given up any hope and just lived one day at a time.

They had always known, so they didn't hold out any hope.

Unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn for the better.

Not only do they have jobs, but they also have the chance to be reincarnated in the future.

How could this not move them to tears?

They vowed to work hard and never let Director Xu down.

Chai Jianguo and his daughter were very happy that Old Mu and the other ghosts could find jobs and have a chance to be reincarnated in the future, after all, they were neighbors and had a good relationship.

A few days later, Xu Qingling saw a report about the Yu Dynasty tomb on television.

The discovery of this tomb is of great significance to the archaeological study of the Yu Dynasty, and has therefore attracted attention both at home and abroad.

Chai Jianguo and his daughter continued delivering food, but Xu Qingling never expected that she would contact Shang Biandong again because of the father and daughter.

Because Chai Tiantian was kidnapped!

Another time, when she helped Chai Jianguo deliver food, she was spotted by child traffickers who were looking for children.

Such a young child, all alone, is the perfect target for abduction.

Because that section of road was remote and there were no surveillance cameras, the human trafficker became even more brazen.

Without using any coaxing or cajoling methods, they simply picked up Chai Tiantian and left.

Little Sweetie, suddenly taken away by a stranger, clutched her doll, a little bewildered. Then she blinked: Was it another enthusiastic uncle inviting her to his house? And then playing soccer with her? Yay!!!
