Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

After informing the two assistants in front of him, Qin Henian suddenly clapped his hands, and the sound rang out in the room.

Then, the ceiling above everyone's heads suddenly rumbled, starting with the clicking of a mechanism. The ceiling then folded open from the left and right sides, revealing a square block of cement.

A human skin mask that looked familiar to everyone present was spread out on the cement block.

It's Wu Xie's face!

"Little naiveté, isn't that your face? Could it be the human skin mask worn by that missing witch from Golmud?!"

Fatty Wang reacted the most, pointing at the ceiling and blurting it out.

The loud voice brought everyone back to their senses, and they all looked curiously in Qin Henian's direction.

Seeing that Wang Pangzi's thoughts were not quite right, Qin Henian quickly interrupted him.

"This isn't a human skin mask. Look closely, it's real human skin! The facial features haven't undergone any plastic surgery or face shaping. This is a real person's face, and it has an almost 95% resemblance to Wu Xie's face!"

"This face was torn off someone's face many years ago. His existence is somewhat special, and he was the first lead we uncovered when we caught the Dog-Barking Family's backing! Your Nine Gates are also familiar with his name, I think it's something like Qi Yu!"

Professional knowledge should be explained by professionals using professional terminology. After hearing what Fatty Wang said, a tall old man in military uniform interjected with an "educational" explanation.

"Qi Yu? A member of the Qi family, I'll look into that when I get back. But why do I look so much like him? He Nian, is it still part of my third uncle's plan, that's why I..."

Looking at the face that resembled his own ninety percent, Wu Xie couldn't hold back any longer. It only took him two or three sentences to go from calm to agitated.

"Wu Xie! Don't get excited. In short, I've taken over your Third Uncle's plan for the Nine Gates. As for the Wang family, who were hiding behind you and targeting you, they'll be facing their own purge soon. You should take a closer look at the information I sent you!"

"As for your third uncle and his brother, they will be directly placed under state control from now on."

Qin Henian comforted Wu Xie, explaining that the dark clouds hanging over the Nine Gates would be cleared away. Then he waved to the old men behind him to go out, taking Jie and Wu with him.

The rest of the conversation that took place inside the glass room is known only to those still inside…

................................................... .........................................

Two hundred miles away from the foot of Mount Chomolhari in Tibet.

A group of people dressed in heavy protective gear, carrying backpacks and wearing masks, are moving forward through the vast white forest...

Because their cotton-padded coats were too thick, and the snow got deeper as they went into the forest, each step left a deep hole. The team had no choice but to stop and start "sweeping the snow".

"Whoosh~"

"Tianzhen, look! The air here is really cold. Fatty's breath just escaped and tiny specks are already floating in the air! Damn, this is much colder than winter in Beijing!"

Wang Pangzi, wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, looked like a ball with his chubby figure. After the group stopped, he threw his bundle, which made a snow crater, and then sat down on it. After catching his breath, he started playing around.

"This is a snow-capped mountain. The snow on the mountainside and the summit of a typical snow-capped mountain never melts all year round, so the temperature is naturally low! It's completely different from the distinct seasonal changes in Beijing!"

Wu Xie was also good at geography, and he loved studying when he was in school, so after Wang Pangzi spoke, he couldn't help but start using academic language to explain the surrounding situation.

Chirp!

Suddenly, a snowflake fell from the treetop above everyone's heads, accompanied by chirping sounds, which drew everyone's curious gaze.

"Your Highness! It's a squirrel! How strange that it would appear in such cold weather!"

A man wearing a rabbit mask was the first to speak, informing Qin Henian, who was lazily lying on Zhang Qilin's back, lost in thought.

After Qin Henian's thoughts returned... his eyes glanced at the little creature on the treetop atop its head. After focusing and magnifying his gaze to examine it from different angles, Qin Henian confirmed that the squirrel on its head had a lot of blood flowing from its legs, and its belly was swollen... Snowflakes giving birth to a cub and asking for help, is this for real??

"Blind man! Grab it!"

Qin Henian was quite patient with animals. Since they had met, it must be fate. He tilted his head and directed Hei Moumou, who was following Xie Yuchen and looking for an opportunity to make money.

"Coming, wife!"

Hei Xiazi, who had just earned enough for two hand warmers from Xie Yuchen, hadn't even had a chance to count his meager earnings when he received a summons from his boss. He took a long stride, looked up at the squirrel's location, rummaged through his backpack, and finally pulled out a black sweater.

After carefully calculating the positions, Hei Xiazi first placed his backpack in a suitable spot, then piled the sweater on top of the backpack. He then casually broke off a small twig from the tree next door and threw it towards the spot where the squirrel was standing on the tree!

*Thud!* The squirrel fell onto the sweater. Black Bear stepped forward, grabbed the squirrel by the back of the neck, and walked towards Zhang Qilin as if to claim credit. He then shook the little squirrel in his hand at Qin Henian, who was on his back.

"How so? Aren't I amazing, being blind?"

The smug voice drew near. Qin Henian reached out a paw and stroked the squirrel's head, then traced his finger down the now-weak squirrel's body, quickly finding its bulging belly...

Looking through the fur and flesh, the baby squirrel inside was dying, and the mother squirrel was also going to die. It was clear that the temperature in the snowy mountains was too cold, and the mother squirrel did not have the strength or energy to give birth to her baby.

Only one can live! Who should you choose?

"The squirrel mother's eyes are unfocused, she's beyond saving, she's blind! Let's dig her up, even saving one is better than nothing!"

They're all beasts; save as many as you can!

Qin Henian chose to save the cub without hesitation, because that's how their living environment is; the beast race values ​​their offspring the most! This is true for every race!!

"Is the squirrel mother beyond saving? So pitiful..."

Wu Xie approached without anyone noticing, watched Qin Henian's actions, and after hearing the conclusion he reached, couldn't help but sigh with a kind heart.

Hei Xiazi listened to his wife, drew the dagger from his waist, stretched his wrists and fingers, and nimbly began a "thorough and enjoyable" "cesarean section".
