Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Xiao Bo! You haven't eaten yet, have you? Yanzi, hurry up and prepare some food."

As soon as everyone entered the house, the old Party Secretary stepped forward and pulled them to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then hurriedly instructed Yanzi to prepare the meal.

"No need, Sister Yanzi, don't bother. We brought our own food."

Looking at the dishes still on the kang table, Ji Haobo knew that the old Party Secretary's family had just been eating.

"Yingzi, could you help Sister Yanzi tidy up these things?"

Then, to the astonishment of the old Party Secretary and the others, he took out a pressure cooker, and Fatty Wang and Old Hu quickly grabbed bowls to scoop meat for everyone.

"Little...Little Bo, what are you doing..."

"Heh...just a little trick."

Ji Haobo didn't say much, but just smiled and took the meat that had been chopped from Lao Hu's hand and handed it to the old Party Secretary.

Smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the bowl, he couldn't help but swallow hard, and the old Party Secretary didn't ask any further questions.

He didn't eat first, but seeing his grandson drooling, he smiled and quickly picked up a piece for him.

"Old Party Secretary, eat slowly. This meat is very nutritious. You and Little Stone shouldn't eat too much at once."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Bo, the stew you made is so delicious! After eating half a bowl, I feel warm all over."

The old Party Secretary, beaming with joy, nodded happily, then looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Bo! It's been snowing for days, it might be difficult to come in. Is there something you need?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fatty Wang chimed in smugly.

"Oh my! Old Party Secretary, let me tell you, we flew directly to the outskirts of the village. It only took us a little over an hour to get here from Kyoto!"

"A...airplane? You mean that metal thing that can fly in the sky?"

The old Party Secretary stared at Fatty Wang in shock, wondering if he was too old and hard of hearing to hear clearly.

"Isn't it said that this thing needs a large warm-up area for both taking off and landing?"

"Old Party Secretary, we're on a helicopter. We can fly anywhere we want and land wherever we want."

Ji Haobo smiled and gave him a brief explanation, then introduced Yang Xueli, Laura, and their family.

The old Party Secretary's family didn't ask what his relationship with the two women was. They weren't stupid, and besides, Yingzi, who was standing next to them, had no objections, so there was no need for outsiders to worry about it.

Yanzi pulled Yingzi aside and praised her, saying that after going out for a while, she had changed so much that she was almost unrecognizable, and she could no longer be seen as the country girl she used to be.

The women went to the side and chattered away, while Ji Haobo and the others chatted idly with the old Party Secretary.

"We didn't come back for anything important this time. We just brought some New Year's gifts for everyone and went into the mountains for a bit of fun."

"Oh dear! What's the point of bringing anything back? Isn't that just a waste of money?"

The old Party Secretary remembered that last time they said their conditions weren't very good, and he grumbled as he looked at the group.

"Hehe, it's just a little bit of stuff, it won't cost much. I'll have Lao Hu and Fatty go and tell the villagers to come and collect it later. They can also ask if anyone has any mountain produce, we'll buy it all."

Since everything had been bought, the old Party Secretary didn't say much, but instead pulled him aside and gave him some instructions.

"Xiao Bo! I know you're very capable, but you still need to be careful when you go into the mountains!"

After dinner, Ji Haobo had tea with the old Party Secretary's family for a while, and to their astonishment, he brought out most of the things in the house.

"Old Party Secretary, Fatty and his friend live here. Let's go back to Yingzi's house to tidy up first."

The old Party Secretary, still in a daze, stared blankly at the things that had suddenly appeared and filled the room, and just nodded blankly.

"Okay, okay!"

Seeing this, Ji Haobo smiled and led the three women out. It took a long time for the old Party Secretary and his family to come to their senses.

"Hey! Where's Xiao Bo?"

"Xiao Hu, could Xiao Bo be a god?"

"Hahaha... Master Bo is incredibly capable, you can treat him like a god if you want, old Party Secretary."

On the other side, several people rode their motorcycles toward a small hill outside the village.

Tiger and his friends returned to this familiar place, jumping and skipping excitedly in the snow.

"Brother Bo, my house is just ahead."

Yingzi led the group to a fence made of wooden stakes, pushed open the wooden gate and went inside. The yard inside was very large, with stables and dog kennels.

"Brother Bo, there's only one room in the house that can be slept in. The kang beds in the other rooms are either broken or have been used to store miscellaneous items."

"A kang (heated brick bed) is great!"

Seeing Yingzi's face turn red as she spoke, Ji Haobo couldn't help but chuckle mischievously:

"It's so nice to all huddle together, it's warm and not boring at all, hehe..."

His words immediately made Yang Xueli, who was standing next to him, feel her face burning, while Laura remained unfazed.

Of all the women, she was the most daring, uninhibited, and willing to try anything.

In contrast, Yingzi was the most shy. Afraid that Ji Haobo would say something strange again, she quickly said:

"Brother Bo, since I have some time this afternoon, I'll go and heat up the kang (heated brick bed) first."

"Let's go together, otherwise you'll be too tired going alone."

They didn't plan to stay long, and heating the kang (a traditional heated bed) wouldn't take much effort; they could just throw in some dry and wet firewood.

The next morning, Ji Haobo, who had spent most of the night in bed, got up feeling refreshed.

Although the sky outside was still overcast, the light, fluffy snow had stopped.

Moreover, the snow on the ground had become much firmer after freezing last night, no longer as loose as when it first fell, which was perfect for going out hunting.

After Ji Haobo walked around outside with a cigar in his mouth, Yingzi and the others got up with rosy cheeks.

After being nourished by him, not only did Yang Xueli's physique improve significantly, but Yingzi also gained a lot of strength.

Knowing about this amazing thing, Laura would train with all her might every time she wanted to improve, because she was so eager to improve.

While the group was having breakfast, Lao Hu and Fatty Wang came over, all excited.

Without saying a word, the two men went up and downed two bowls of food. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lao Hu asked them where they were going hunting.

"Let's take a walk in the woods first, then go to Tuanzi Mountain. Old Hu, didn't you say there were weasel graves there? Let's go check it out."

"That's perfect. These beasts almost got me hanged more than ten years ago. They say revenge is never too late, and now's the perfect time. Hehe..."

Fatty Wang became indignant as he recalled the past, but after speaking, he asked with a puzzled look:

"Brother Bo, you said that if Lao Hu, Yanzi, and I entered the Weasel Grave, logically speaking, if a monster like the one that became a spirit last time came along, we would have absolutely no chance of survival."

But the truth is we made it out unharmed, what do you think happened?

Ji Haobo rolled his eyes, shrugged, shook his head, and said teasingly:

"How would I know? Why don't you go ask the weasel after we get inside?"

He wasn't the only one who thought about this; I suspect Lao Hu thought about it even more.

Besides the Yellow Weasel Grave, there were also my experiences at the Hundred-Eyed Cave, which I used to think were extremely dangerous.

But now that he knows more, he feels strange.

In an ordinary world, they would be considered lucky to have escaped unharmed.

But those ghosts and the weasel spirits that had become demons last time were not fake;

This is truly puzzling. Why didn't they encounter it before? Unless there really is such a thing as the protagonist's luck.
