Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Looks familiar, so familiar!

Isn’t this the bronze ware buried in the tomb?

Round tripods, square tripods, gui, lei, and pots, all of them match!

Could it be that Huang San and his gang are part of a tomb-robbing gang that is working with Meng Jianshe?

Without bothering to think about their relationship, I was afraid that Cui Hao would behave abnormally after recognizing the bronze artifact, so I quickly turned around to look at him.

But he stared at the bronze ware without blinking, without seeing anything unusual.

How come this guy suddenly became calm?

When I was wondering, he suddenly leaned over to my ear and whispered, "Brother, it seems that bronze artifacts can also be sold."

"It's just that the bronze artifact is too big for the two of us to handle."

I was speechless for a while.

In this situation where enemies meet on a narrow road, he still has the mind to think about bronze ware.

Now that I have met Huang San, I must be careful when I go back and must not run into him again.

Huang San and his men took out all the bronze artifacts and arranged them neatly on the ground.

"Boss Dong, please look up."

"Before, we brothers just dug randomly, so we didn't get anything good."

"This time, I found a master to work with, and finally dug out valuable goods."

"It's a pity that something went wrong and the valuable things buried in the coffin were snatched away by that bastard."

Cui Hao seemed to react at this time and suddenly grabbed my wrist tightly.

"elder brother……"

"Shut up and don't disturb Brother Dong from looking at the goods."

"Oh."

Cui Hao bit his lower lip hard, suppressing all his emotions in his heart.

Boss Dong looked at each bronze artifact one by one.

He took out a magnifying glass and looked carefully.

Huang San and others rubbed their hands and paced back and forth anxiously.

No one paid attention to Cui Hao and me, let alone noticed that Cui Hao was acting strangely.

Boss Dong looked at it slowly for half an hour before speaking.

"Except for a few that are damaged, most are well preserved, at least from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

"We are all rough people and don't know much about history. Just tell us how much it is worth."

Huang San is a farmer who can hardly read or write.

Hearing that the treasures in the tomb could be sold for money, he took the risk and started robbing tombs.

Not to mention distinguishing the dynasties of objects, they don’t even have much basic historical knowledge.

Relying on his foolhardy courage, he learned some skills of digging holes from his fellow villagers, and then he set up his own team to rob tombs everywhere.

There were countless gangs like Huang San who changed their careers halfway at that time, and finding tombs and treasures depended entirely on luck.

"It's a pity that there is no inscription, so the price is not very high." Boss Dong expressed regret.

He would have liked each piece to have an inscription.

Even if Huang San was offered a high purchase price, he could still make a fortune by shipping the goods back to Hong Kong Island.

When Huang San heard that the price was not too high, he immediately rubbed his hands nervously.

"How much is not too high? I asked someone, and these are worth at least five or six hundred."

"If it's less than 500, I won't sell it!"

"Hahaha."

Boss Dong seemed to have heard a funny joke.

The fat on his body trembled with joy.

"Five hundred? You think these bronze artifacts are worthless."

"I want everything. I'll give you two thousand."

"Two, two thousand?!"

Huang San widened his eyes in disbelief and pinched his thigh hard again.

Even though he was gritting his teeth in pain, a smile still graced his face.

Two thousand far exceeded his expectations!

"Deal! Everything's yours!"

Boss Dong turned around and made a gesture, and the waiter quickly came over with the bag.

The bag was opened, and there were two full bundles of big unity inside.

Each bundle contains one hundred sheets.

Huang San and others stared at the money with fiery eyes.

It looks like it wants to get into the money's eyes.

"Just order some." said Boss Dong.

"No, no thanks. I trust you."

Huang San held the bag tightly in his arms.

My arms and body felt the thickness of the money, and I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.

"Go, go, go, hurry back!"

Jumping into the back of the tricycle, Huang San hurriedly told his men to leave.

Boss Dong asked his men to move the bronzeware into the house and lock it up.

He walked back with a smile and said, "This guy finally got lucky."

"Brother Dong, how many people are there like Huang San?" I asked.

"many."

"I've been here for about half a year. There are a lot of people selling goods, but not many of them have good stuff."

"What you brought is my biggest gain this year."

"I hope you can bring me more good things in the future."

Boss Dong looked at me expectantly.

I suddenly had an epiphany.

I finally understand why he is so nice to me.

He sent me medicine, helped me contact the hospital, and even gave me clothes and shoes as if they were his brothers, all just to get the good things from me.

But he does things in a proper manner.

He had the opportunity to buy those bronze artifacts for 500 yuan just now, but he still offered a high price of 2,000 yuan.

"I'd like to ask, Huang San just offered 500, why didn't you accept it and give him 2,000 instead?"

"I knew you would ask this. Do you think I'm putting on an act for you?"

"That's not true..."

Boss Dong waved his hand to interrupt me.

"It's only natural to have this thought. One should always be on guard against others."

"You say I'm acting, which is true in a way. What I'm doing is like setting up a pillar at the city gate and buying a horse's bones for a fortune."

“Once my reputation is established, more people will come to me to sell goods, and I will have the opportunity to receive good goods.”

"One person can never make all the money in the world. I believe that money should be shared by all. Only by making the pie bigger can we make more money."

I felt a little dizzy after hearing that.

Only later did I slowly understand the truth behind his words.

Also because I understood the principle of building a good reputation and making money for everyone, I later became famous in the tomb-robbing circle and was known as the Tomb-Robbing King of Guanzhong.

When we parted, Boss Dong left me his hotel room phone number.

If you need to arrange for grandpa to be hospitalized, just give him a call.

It was getting dark and my stomach started to growl.

We didn't eat lunch and are now starving.

When I came to Tongshengxiang Pao Mo Restaurant, a bowl of mutton Pao Mo with two steamed buns cost four taels of food coupons plus 25 cents.

In those days, you couldn’t eat out without food coupons.

If you don’t have food coupons, I won’t sell it to you even if I have money.

In the past, the price of mutton soup steamed buns was absolutely prohibitive for me.

But now that I have 450 yuan in my pocket, I feel that mutton soup steamed buns are not expensive at all.

Cui Hao even started counting on his fingers.

"Twenty-five cents a bowl, fifty cents for two bowls... My god, we have enough money to buy hundreds of bowls of Pao Mo!"

"Huang San and his team worked so hard to only earn 2,000."

"If we sell all those things, we'll get at least 20,000 yuan! That's ten times more than what they have!"

"Brother, you are wise!"

"He went straight for the coffin without even looking at the bronze artifacts. How amazing!"

"There are so many people around here, don't talk nonsense." I patted Cui Hao on the head.

He stuck out his tongue playfully.

"I'm stupid to begin with, stop filming me stupid."

"It's better to be a little stupid, then I don't have to listen to your chatter."

In those days, everyone was starving, and the greasy and fragrant mutton soup became a delicacy.

Soon the mutton soup steamed bun with the aroma of oil was served on the table.

The steamed buns soaked in bone and meat broth are fragrant and satisfying from the first bite.

After taking another bite of the soft and tender lamb, my taste buds were completely awakened.

His hands couldn't help but speed up and he quickly put the steamed bun into his mouth.

Cui Hao rubbed his stomach after finishing his meal, still not satisfied, and said, "It's delicious! I'll bring my family over to eat it later!"

"Let's go buy some cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks after we finish eating."

Cui Hao jumped up excitedly: "Great! Buy the best ones and hang them out in front of Xiufang's house to make her whole family envious!"

"Why are you jealous of her family? Can you be more ambitious?"

"No way! Were you really bribed by Xiufang with a handkerchief? Do you really not hate her anymore?"

"I don't have time to hate her. I buy things for Master Tuo."

I hugged Cui Hao and walked out of the Pao Mo restaurant, whispering, "If there really is a royal tomb, we'll need Camel Master's help if we want to get down there."
