Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"Listen to me making it up for you... No, I'll tell you."

"It's so difficult. Her parents are dead, her relatives have seized the family property, and they want to marry her to a fool..."

I left out the tomb-robbing incident and briefly described Jiang Nanle's situation.

As Ai Wuzhuang listened, his eyes became red.

Overwhelmed with sympathy, he pulled Jiang Nanle and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

I curled my lips and said, "Sister Ai, it seems that you misunderstood me, right?"

"You should also give me an apology."

Ai Wuzhuang raised his eyebrows and said stubbornly, "Men are not good anyway."

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

"I'm planning to go to the cave that Professor Zhang entered in the next couple of days, so I'm going to ask you to help take care of it."

"What?!"

Ai Wuzhuang's eyes widened in shock.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous that place is?"

Of course I know the dangers there.

But I have no other choice.

If you want to survive, you have to bite the bullet and give it a try.

"They say the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. The way to save Professor Zhang must be in the cave. I have to go."

"Besides, Professor Zhang's health is getting worse and worse. Time is of the essence."

I used Professor Zhang as a cover, and Ai Wuzhuang fell silent.

Jiang Nanle asked curiously, "What cave? Can you take me with you?"

I smiled and shook my head: "Just don't make things worse."

"There are a lot of dangerous things in the cave that could kill you. I really can't take care of you once you get there."

"..."

Jiang Nanle's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Am I too useless, always holding you back?"

"Silly girl, how can you be useless? I'm sure there will be a time when I need your help in the future."

My comfort made Jiang Nan feel better.

She looked up and smiled at me, "I will become stronger! I will never hold you back again."

"Haha, you will definitely become stronger."

Ai Wuzhuang tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "You haven't gone to see Nannan yet?"

I laughed dryly and scratched my head.

I really want to see Zhang Nan.

But what should I say after meeting?

After meeting, it is a separation in life. Going to Shangluo and entering the cave is probably a separation in death.

The topic of life and death is too heavy.

Adding to this Professor Zhang’s situation, I’m afraid that Zhang Nan will be crushed.

It’s better not to see each other.

"Sister Ai, I plan to write a letter to Sister Nan."

"Please keep the letter for me first. If the worst comes back... please give it to Sister Nan for me."

Ai Wuzhuang frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Okay."

I bought envelopes and stationery, and borrowed Ai Wuzhuang's pen to write a short letter.

The first half of the letter is about my admiration for Zhang Nan.

The second half is about the arrangements for the funeral. Zhang Nan is entrusted to give half of the money in the passbook to Cui Hao's family, and to settle the other half with Boss Dong for grandfather's medical expenses, etc.

I also wrote about the snack food business with Mr. Ai, and left my shares to Zhang Nan.

After making arrangements for my funeral in the letter, I folded the letter paper and put it together with the passbook into an envelope, and glued the envelope shut with glue.

"Sister Ai, please keep it for the time being."

Ai Wuzhuang glanced at the sealed mouth and curled his lips and said, "You are so narrow-minded, and you are still preventing me from peeking."

"This is to guard against gentlemen instead of villains. It proves that Sister Ai, you are a gentleman in my heart."

"You are the only one who can talk." Ai Wuban was happy and put the envelope away carefully.

I took out two hundred yuan and handed it to her: "This is for my living expenses. Sister Ai, you should keep it too."

"It's difficult. You have to listen to Sister Ai and don't cause her any trouble."

Jiang Nanle nodded vigorously, then lowered his head and said, "You must come back."

Ai Wuzhuang sighed softly: "Safety first, run away when you encounter danger, staying alive is more important than anything else."

Of course I know that being alive is more important than anything else.

But if the curse cannot be broken, he will not live for long.

"Of course I will. Wait for my good news." I waved my hand and left Northwestern University alone.

In fact, what I am most concerned about is my grandfather's condition.

But communications were not well developed at that time, and domestic long-distance calls had to be transferred at various levels, let alone calls to Hong Kong Island.

Counting the days, it has been half a month since Boss Dong took my grandfather to Hong Kong Island.

When he left, he said he would be back soon.

I'll go back to Hong Kong Island to ship the goods and arrange for grandpa's treatment and then come back.

But he didn't give a definite answer as to how long it would take.

I was thinking of trying my luck at the Xi'an People's Building. If Boss Dong came back, I could ask him about my grandfather's situation.

I went to the front desk of the People's Building to ask, and it happened that Boss Dong had returned yesterday.

I hurried to his room.

After knocking on the door, it opened quickly.

Boss Dong was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Brother Shi Tou, how did you know I was back?"

"What a coincidence! I came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect you to come back."

Boss Dong pulled me into the house and sat me down.

He took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and handed it over.

"This is the old man's examination result."

"The elderly man has a severe fungal infection in his lungs, which has tumor-like symptoms."

"Of course, tumor-like manifestations are not real tumors, but the lesions are just very similar to tumors."

"I've already been treated with special medicine. The doctor said it will take two to three months..."

After listening to my grandfather's condition, I looked at the checklist again.

I actually don’t understand the test results.

I just feel more at ease after looking through it.

"Brother Dong, thank you so much."

"Brothers, you don't have to be so polite. Do you have any good stuff recently? If you have anything good, you must show it to me."

Boss Dong turned the topic to things.

I have made some gains recently, but I plan to keep the Ming Dynasty royal sword for self-defense.

The white copper alchemy furnace, seven-star nails, copper gilt bottle and other things are prepared to be shown to Taoist Master Zhang, in case they can be used when entering the cave.

Zhu Di's handwritten scroll is a family heirloom of Jiang Nanle, so it is not easy to sell it.

After calculating this way, there is really nothing I can sell to Boss Dong.

I apologized, "I've been worried about Grandpa lately and haven't been out working, so..."

"Hahaha, I just asked casually."

“But you have to work hard to make money.”

"Once the old man recovers, we'll have to go to Hong Kong Island and borrow him back."

I heard the hint from Boss Dong.

He smiled and said, "I feel relieved knowing that Grandpa is fine. I will take the people to work tomorrow."

"I just happen to be short of tools, so I need your help."

"The tools are easy to get. Just tell me what you need and I'll ask my men to prepare them." Boss Dong said, waving his hand.

Given the depth of the cave, lighting is crucial.

Ordinary flashlights are too dim to be of any use deep in the cave.

"I want to get some good lighting equipment, with high brightness and long working time, preferably imported."

Boss Dong's eyes lit up instantly.

"Are you going to do something big?!"

"I just happened to bring back some goodies. I'm sure you'll find them useful!"

Boss Dong was so excited that he didn't even drink his tea and pulled me out.

I was still a little confused: "Brother Dong, where are you going?"

"Look at the stuff, it's all in the warehouse!"
