Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Upon entering the new tomb chamber, lighting is of utmost importance, as it helps to ensure the safety of the surroundings.

"Third Master, this time we need to increase the treatment fee. Remember to transfer it to the blind man's card later!"

Having used the few remaining medical supplies to remove a bullet from Wu Sanxing's wound and bandage it, Hei Xiazi immediately asked for payment.

"Alright, alright! I'll have Panzi call you later!"

Lying on the ground, Wu Sanxing, pale-faced, was weak and breathless due to significant blood loss.

"hey-hey.."

A smile spread across his face; in his mind, Hei Xiazi had already pictured the money flowing into his bank account.

Qin Henian, who was supposed to be covering the rear, did not immediately follow the others into the new tomb chamber. Instead, his gaze fell intently on the corpses lying on the ground.

Wow! What a haul!

In the narrow tomb passage, only a man dressed in a magnificent robe could be seen. He suddenly exuded an aura of excitement and joy, and his eyes shone with a bright red light. He nimbly hopped and skipped to the corpses and, one by one, raised his hand and gave each of them a big shovel on the head.

Instantly, the skulls of the corpses shattered into several large pieces, from which fell many long, fleshy, half-sectioned snake corpses.

creak!creak!

Delicious! Delicious!

"He Nian? Is that you?"

Just as Qin Henian finished wiping his mouth and smacking his lips, a familiar voice came from a door on the other side of the tomb passage, followed by three figures.

"Hey? Wu Xie! Little Qilin, you're back!"

There are also delicious little insects!

Indeed, Qin Henian clearly saw the three figures approaching.

It was Wu Xie, who was running after the little Qilin, and the woman who had been following them.

"Year of the Crane!"

Wu Xie and the other two walked quickly to Qin Henian with smiles. Except for Chen Wenjin, who felt uneasy about the person opposite her for some reason.

"Where is my third uncle, Henian?"

Third Uncle? Wu Sanxing...

"Oh, your third uncle is injured. You saw those corpses on the ground too. Their brains were parasitized and they just fought with us. Your third uncle was accidentally shot, but he has been treated and should be resting now."

Qin Henian answered Wu Xie's question honestly, his eyes scanning Zhang Qilin's body "data" like a radar detector. After finding that the other party was alright, he turned around and took on the task of leading the way.

Upon entering the tomb chamber, the first thing that caught their eye was the group of people resting on the ground. Qin Henian, with his sharp eyes, found a corner to lean against, his gaze fixed on Chen Wenjin. As he watched her follow Wu Xie toward Wu Sanxing, tears welled up in his eyes.

Can eat!

can not eat!

You can't eat it now!

We'll be able to eat it soon!

Okay, let's wait a little longer!

Qin Henian looked at Chen Wenjin as if he were looking at a flower about to bloom in its full glory, each petal in his mind being plucked off one by one by his slender, fair fingers, counting how long he still had to wait before he could eat.

Qin Henian's intense gaze was noticed by several people. Even Wu Xie, who was squatting in front of "Jie Lianhuan" and looking at the person who had woken up, could feel a gaze on their direction.

"Xiao Xie! Where did you go just now? Don't you know that wandering around in the tomb is the easiest way to get into trouble!"

"I told you to follow me, follow me! Why won't you listen! Do you want the Wu family line to end if you get lost?!"

As soon as Jie Lian opened his eyes, he saw his adopted nephew and couldn't help but scold and care for him.

"Third...Third Uncle, how's your injury? Is it serious? Let me see the wound..."

Wu Xie felt a lump in his throat. He didn't know whether he should hate the other person or... After all, he had grown up following the other person around since childhood, and it would be a lie to say he had no feelings for them... But now that he knew the other person might be the murderer of his third uncle, Wu Xie's mind was in turmoil, and he didn't know how to face it...

"You silly child! I have Panzi and Xiaohua with me. They won't just leave me to fend for myself. Your wound is nothing, just go back and let it heal!"

Jie Lian tried his best to adjust his state and make himself look good, but when he turned his head, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person.

"Wenjin? You're still alive?"

Jie Lian was still in shock, staring intently at Chen Wenjin.

"You've worked so hard all these years, I'm so grateful."

Chen Wenjin looked at Jie Lianhuan with a gentle expression and a somewhat complicated look in her eyes, and finally said a vague word of comfort.

"What did you call him?!"

The tomb chamber where they rested was not large to begin with, and their conversation could be clearly heard by everyone. Xie Yuchen, who had been watching idly from the side, suddenly sharpened his eyes when he heard a name that was all too familiar to him, and an unnamed fire was burning in his heart.

"You call him Lian Huan? He calls you Wen Jin. You are Chen Wen Jin, and he is Jie Lian Huan!"

Although Xie Yuchen was frustrated, he still managed to analyze the information he wanted at the crucial moment. However, the information came suddenly and was quite significant, leaving him both astonished and furious.

"Since you're not dead, why don't you come back?"

He even went to the Wu family to claim kinship and became Wu Xie's uncle for so many years.

Xie Yuchen didn't say what came next, but the meaning was already very clear.

"Xiaohua, this isn't what you think. It's complicated, and there are many things that can't be answered with the current situation... This matter..."

"Then why did you go to the Wu family instead of returning to the Xie family? All these years you've been around Wu Xie, weren't you trying to groom him? To put it bluntly, you chose Wu Xie and abandoned me."

Xie Lianhuan had barely finished speaking when Xie Yuchen interrupted him.

At this moment, the scene on the field is that Wu Xie walked to the side and went to cry next to the fat man, while Xie Yuchen faced the "Xie Lianhuan" who had always lived in the data and other people's words.

"Since you didn't choose to come back back then, there's no point in saying anything more now. Jie Lianhuan, I really don't want to acknowledge that you have the surname Jie, but what right do I have to deny it?"

No matter how harsh the words, they couldn't heal the throbbing pain in her heart. Having said that, Xie Yuchen didn't want to see Xie Lianhuan's face again.

We've endured so many years already, and it's only a few more decades to go. What's the point of refusing to accept this fate?

Just as Xie Yuchen was feeling down, a hand quietly landed on his arm and tugged at his clothes, instantly snapping him back to his senses.

Turning her head, she saw a beautiful silver-white hair ornament, long, straight black hair framing a delicate and pretty face, and a pair of big, blinking eyes staring at her. Xie Yuchen felt as if something in her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"He...He Nian?"

Xie Yuchen's slightly reddened eyes were suddenly stunned by the beauty before they could be concealed by her tear-filled eyes.

"Jie Yuchen, can I ask you for someone?"

Qin Henian approached Xie Yuchen and whispered in her ear, wanting to know if she agreed. It seemed the woman knew the man whose identity had been exposed, and it would be very impolite to try and take advantage of her without her consent.
