Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"They say that theory should be integrated with practice. Even if you want to practice, you have to know the theory first."

There's no need to beat around the bush when chatting with this old fox.

Going around in circles is just like playing Tai Chi, it’s better to go straight in and do it.

Old Li laughed dryly, knowing that he couldn't get any advantage from me.

"middle!"

"After dinner, let's find a place to talk slowly."

"It's a word."

We stopped talking about tomb robbing and started chatting about family matters.

"Brother Li, how many people are there in your family?"

"Hey, I'm an old bachelor."

"When the girl I loved when I was young married someone else, my heart was broken."

"It's a pity that the girl had a bad fate. She had a difficult delivery and the only child she left behind was Ershuan."

"When Ershuan was thirteen, his father had another accident. Before he died, he held my hand and said he was sorry. He knew I liked that girl, but he also liked her in his heart... Alas!"

Old Li raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eyes, as if wiping away tears.

"His father and I are best brothers."

"In the end, my brother snatched away the person I loved, and then I had to raise their child. Everyone said I was a fool."

"Brother Chen, do you also think I'm a fool?"

I don't know if Lao Li is just playing the victim.

But the story he told was truly tragic.

Listening to it, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

For a man, the most important things are his brothers and his beloved woman!

Both his brother and the woman betrayed him, but he was able to raise their child. This kind of affection is admirable.

"Brother, you are not stupid. You are loyal and righteous."

"Not many people can be as loyal as you."

“I admire you!”

Ask yourself.

If it were me, I might provide financial support, but it would be difficult to take the child home and raise him.

Because seeing that child reminds me of the past.

It's like the scars are being exposed every day.

"Loyalty, these two words weigh a thousand pounds. I really don't want to bear the weight of these two words. If I had the chance to do it again..."

Old Li turned his head to look at Ershuan who was following the donkey cart.

A flickering light flashed in his eyes.

I caught a glimpse of a strange glint in his eye.

I vaguely felt that what Lao Li said was not entirely true.

Adopting Ershuan to stay by his side seemed to have other purposes.

When Old Li withdrew his gaze, his expression was back to normal.

Soon they arrived at Song Wei's country.

The aroma of food can be smelled as soon as you enter the door.

Song Weiguo greeted me with a big smile on his face, "Brother, please take a seat."

His enthusiasm got to me a little bit.

I met him face to face.

You don’t even know my last name, how come you asked me to sit in the seat of honor?

Is this Lao Li’s arrangement?

I glanced at Lao Li, but he was also a little confused.

He paid for the meal, but Song Weiguo didn't even invite him, the one who paid for it, to sit at the seat of honor.

Where does this make sense? !

Old Li was stunned for a few seconds, but quickly came to his senses.

Following Song Weiguo's words, he said, "Brother Chen, please take a seat."

"It's not appropriate for me to sit in the seat of honor. Brother Li should sit in the seat of honor."

"You're welcome."

Old Li pushed me to the top position without any explanation.

Song Weiguo went to the kitchen and brought back a bowl of braised pork, and placed it in front of me with a smile.

"The fact that our bishop has shown favor to you shows that you have great fortune, so you must be invited to take the seat of honor."

After he explained it, I finally understood what was going on.

It seems that he benefited from Li Boyu's help.

"Brother Song is also a believer in religion?"

"Yes, everyone in the village used to believe in religion, but only in those years... cough cough, let's eat."

Feeling that he had spoken out of turn, Song Weiguo immediately changed the subject.

Everyone sat down according to their seats.

Daquan stared at the bowl of braised pork in front of me, and kept moving his throat to swallow his saliva.

Greedy!

There was a real shortage of meat at that time.

Ordinary families can only eat meat during festivals.

Ershuan nudged Daquan with his arm and whispered, "Don't be so mean, let's just eat some food."

"Why?!"

Daquan glared at me hard.

It seemed like he thought I had monopolized the bowl of braised pork.

Old Li couldn't hold back his anger and picked up his chopsticks to hit Daquan on the head.

I quickly stopped him: "Brother Li, don't be angry."

"It's just a bowl of meat, just let Daquan take it and eat it."

Daquan was not polite.

After hearing what I said, he brought the braised pork in front of him, broke the steamed bun open and stuffed the meat into it.

After picking it up, he stuffed the steamed bun into Ershuan's hand.

"Shuan'er, eat quickly!"

Ershuan, as if holding a hot potato, quickly handed the steamed bun with braised pork to Lao Li: "Master, eat first."

"Humph!"

Old Li said angrily, "What a pair of blind idiots, all they know is eating!"

"Everyone drink three cups each, and then each of you toast Brother Chen three cups as an apology!"

Daquan and Ershuan both put down their steamed buns, picked up the wine glasses in front of them and started drinking as punishment.

I laughed inwardly.

It seems that the show just now was arranged by Lao Li.

The purpose was to let Daquan motivate Cui Hao and me, and then take the opportunity to let us have a drinking contest.

When you drink too much, you will tell the truth.

I've used this trick many times, and today I'm just going to use the same trick against them.

Gurgling.

Daquan and Ershuan were punished with three cups at a very fast speed.

Then Daquan poured another full glass of wine and raised it to me, saying, "Brother Chen...Brother Chen, I apologize for offending you just now. I offer you three glasses."

"Easy to say."

I picked up my glass and clinked glasses with Daquan three times.

Then Ershuan raised his glass to toast, followed by Lao Li and Song Weiguo.

Cui Hao was often forced to drink by them.

By the end of the meal, four bottles of white wine had been consumed.

Cui Hao, Daquan and Ershuan were all drunk and unconscious. They were helped onto the kang and fell into a deep sleep.

Song Weiguo covered his head and said, "I can't drink anymore."

"You two take your time eating and drinking. I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while."

"middle."

Old Li responded, picked up the bottle and poured more wine into my glass.

"Brother Chen, we didn't get to know each other until we fought."

"We must drink to our heart's content today."

"I, Old Li, don't have any other skills except for some basic tomb-robbing skills. If you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

I also drank so much that my face and neck became red.

Now he was rocking back and forth on the stool.

Hearing that, I smirked and said, "Hey, Brother Li, how did you find the tomb? It's one of those old, large tombs."

"First, it depends on Feng Shui, and second, it depends on luck."

"The skill of Feng Shui is too difficult to learn. I only learned the basics after reading the Feng Shui book left by my grandfather."

"In the past, when choosing a Feng Shui site, people paid attention to the shape of the terrain."

"For example, the Qianling Mausoleum mentioned on the road, when viewed from a high vantage point, looks like a giant phoenix. This is a relatively easy-to-see pictographic image."

"But it's harder to tell what Mount Li, where the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is located, looks like."

"I've been to Mount Li three times, trying to understand the feng shui layout of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but I couldn't figure it out."

Old Li shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

I took over the conversation and said, "I read in a book that Mount Li got its name because it resembles a horse."

"Haha, I've read in a book that Mount Li resembles a steed."

"But think about it, would a great emperor like Qin Shi Huang be buried in a place shaped like a horse?"

"That's unacceptable!"
