Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Throwing him into the pond to feed the fish wouldn't be the case, but they'd like to send him to Xiuxiu's house to feed the forbidden woman...

Anyway, he was the one who fed the forbidden women during that period; he was quite skilled at it.

Jie Qi felt wronged, but she didn't dare to say anything. She wanted to go back ten minutes and give herself a good dressing down for her loose tongue...

The group of tomb raiders that Jie Qi criticized as being even more ruthless than Jie Yuchen were a bunch of low-class, unsavory thieves.

They didn't have many sources of information about large tombs or oil wells, so they usually just dug up small tombs of minor officials or landlords. Sometimes, when they were short of money, they would even dig up the village cemetery.

The leader of this group of tomb raiders was a scoundrel. He kept a group of skinny, small snake-people (children) under his command, who were either kidnapped or bought by them.

When these snake-people have no work, they are often injured and forced to beg on the streets.

When there's work to be done, they take the snake people with them. If they encounter any particularly narrow gaps or security traps, they use these little snake people to clear the way first.

As for the child that Xie Yuchen asked him to find, he was a bit different. Those little snake people were raised to test the waters, but this child had some special abilities. He was tricked into becoming an apprentice by one of them, a man named Lai Tou Gu Zi.

However, this child also had a ruthless streak; after realizing he had entered a wolf's den, he kept plotting to escape.

However, these gangs, which are essentially half-human traffickers, are not so easy to escape. Every time they escape and are caught, they are beaten severely and often starved to death.

If it weren't for that bald-headed rascal valuing his abilities and believing that the child would definitely be of great use in the future, with the child's rebellious nature, he would have been buried in some tomb long ago.

This time, having found the right person, Jie Qi directly asked one of Chen Pi Asi's men to help him find a lama and select a large tomb that was being secretly developed for protection.

When the group of tomb raiders entered the tomb and faced the security personnel guarding the expert tomb raiders, they looked at each other in bewilderment...

The moment he peeked out, a dozen dark gun barrels were pointed at his head; the one leading the charge almost peed his pants...

Then it was like guarding a rabbit hole to catch rabbits; they would pop up one by one and catch them.

Those security personnel who had already been informed, and who might have been foolish enough to come and offer them credit, were also a bit dumbfounded when they saw the light little doll in their hands.

No, how come it's getting smaller and smaller? What can such a small baby do?

Can you wield a Luoyang shovel or move bluestone bricks?

Surely they're not here to deliver young boys and girls to the tomb's occupant.

Those skinny arms and legs don't look like it at all!

Finally, the group of tomb raiders who had been tricked but thought they were just unlucky got the silver bracelet, and the little snake people were handed over to Uncle Hat to help them find their families.

The child who was specifically requested by the family head was taken away by him after his family situation was confirmed, using Minister Qin's name as a pretext.

Xie Yuchen sighed wearily and told Xie Qi to go about his business.

Although his deputy was a bit unreliable, he was able to get things done, making him a rather remarkable figure.

Looking up at the courtyard outside the window, the three people who had just been in an awkward atmosphere were now sitting in a row on the steps, each holding a green fruit in their hand.

From behind, Su Li, who was originally rather thin, looked much more robust compared to the two skinny little figures.

The two children, instantly captivated by the indescribably wonderful taste of the Green Wood Spirit Fruit, watched as Su Li sat down on the steps with practiced ease, and followed suit.

The three of them remained silent, munching on fruit with blank stares. For a moment, the only sound in the courtyard was the crunching of fruit.

Su Li, who was idly munching on fruit, suddenly twitched her nose a few times.

"Can you... smell anything?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lichu raised her face, which was covered in juice, looked around, and shook her head in confusion.

The somewhat silent Xiao Liu looked up at the neighboring yard. "There's the sound of a machine stopping."

Su Li looked at Xiao Liu Sang with some surprise, her gaze lingering on his ear with the earplugs for a couple of seconds, and subconsciously lowered her voice.

"Can you hear what's going on next door even with earplugs on?"

Xiao Liu nodded sadly, then lowered his head and continued to nibble on the fruit in small bites without saying a word.

Is it because these earplugs are so ineffective, or is the child's ear just too sensitive?

It's unlikely, since the Xie family isn't short of money. They should have prepared everything they needed as soon as they brought them back.

"Is it because these earplugs don't provide good sound insulation?" Su Li asked, a little worried.

People with naturally heightened senses are different from those who cultivate their five senses. Those who cannot control their abilities actually suffer greatly.

Just like this little Liu Sang.

What others consider normal sounds are noise to him, and what others consider noisy sounds are a disaster to him.

In addition, his ears are constantly surrounded by sounds that are inaudible to most people, meaning his ears are receiving sounds all the time and never get a break.

Hearing Su Li's question, Xiao Liu looked up at him, but seeing that the seemingly innocent guy in front of him was also looking at him, he couldn't help but lower his head again.

"It's already very good; any more might affect our lives."

These earplugs are much better than the cotton he had previously dug out of the tattered mattress.

Those tattered cotton balls didn't provide good sound insulation, so he had to stuff his ears with many layers to make them feel a little better.

Moreover, that tattered mattress had been used for who knows how long; it was covered in black mold and had a strange smell, and it made my ears itch.

One time he couldn't resist scratching it open, and later his ear became red, swollen, and infected, almost ruining his life.

The one he's using now was bought for him by the guy who took him out of the hat shop, and he thinks it's alright.

When Su Li heard him say "it's already very good", she nodded knowingly. So it still had some impact. She understood.

The two little ones sitting on either side of Su Li saw the person in front of them suddenly put their hands together as if making a wish.

"Senior Brother, please hurry and take this custom order! I need a pair of earplugs with super good noise isolation that won't interfere with daily life, please!!!"

Suddenly forced to take on orders, the senior disciple of the Wishing Pool felt the gazes of his junior brothers and sisters falling on him, and his face suddenly turned bright red. He fled in panic.

Su Yunqing looked at her tall, handsome, but socially awkward eldest disciple and sighed with a headache: This guy is hopeless...

System: Host, it seems like you're the one who should take the blame for this. Back in the day...

Su Yunqing: Get out...

System: Okay...
