Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Su Chen was too lazy to explain anything further. Seeing the person in front of him hesitate, he raised an eyebrow and said.

"If you don't like any of them, then don't take any of them."

"Since it's an adult's order, we'll definitely take it. Thank you... thank you."

The man at the head of the group was slightly taken aback when he heard this, thinking he had misheard.

Looking at the people behind Su Chen, their demeanor and bearing were far superior to those of this group of half-baked individuals.

The five of them had put a lot of effort into digging up the ancient tomb, but the other party didn't even take a liking to it and quickly started picking and choosing from the contents of the tomb.

Gee...

Partridge Whistle glanced at Su Chen, and seeing that he didn't speak, he took two steps forward and slowly spoke.

"Don't just pick those gold ingots, what if they're not worth much? See those jars and porcelain? Take them all out. Don't sell this batch for less than five thousand silver dollars."

As the Lunar New Year approached, the three northeastern provinces were so cold that people could freeze to death. The five men, who looked like hotheads, dug for months without finding a place.

He's clearly had no other way to make a living and is planning to try his luck at a big tomb to see if he can take off again.

If they hadn't encountered Su Chen and the others, they probably would have died here.

The men thanked them repeatedly, and only after selecting the treasures did they plan to leave.

As Su Chen led the group away, he didn't forget to ask a question.

"Do you know that there's a village further north?"

"I know, I know. That village is a bit remote. My home is from there."

The boldness of the men of Lu unfolds in this back-and-forth exchange.

Having taken the treasures from the tomb, the men no longer felt the same fear they had towards Su Chen.

The gaze directed at him held a newfound warmth; the person who gave him the money wasn't his biological father, but he felt closer to him than a biological father.

"If you'd like, I'll personally take you there!"

The leading man chuckled, clearly intending to lead the way for the Japanese officer.

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle and the others laughed in annoyance.

It's the first time I've seen something like this; it's quite novel.

Su Chen glanced at the treasure in his hand and asked, "If you come with me, what will happen to these artifacts?"

This was jargon. The man took a moment to process it before bending down and putting the things away.

“I’ll have my brother sell it; your matter is more urgent.”

"May I have your name."

"Liu Dacheng."

The man scratched his head, seemingly feeling that the name was somewhat inappropriate.

Su Chen paused for a moment, then nodded at him and said.

"You want to come with me to see what a real tomb looks like? And maybe even get a share of some valuable funerary objects?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The man, whose thoughts had been exposed, smiled and said somewhat awkwardly.

After learning about this, Su Chen didn't mock him anymore, but nodded and said...

"Finish what you need to do and then come with me."

"okay."

After returning to the dilapidated temple, the engineering battalion had already packed their things and were ready to depart.

Su Chen found the head of the engineering company and pointed to the rather unprofessional tomb raiding hole.

"After going down, there is an underground river. Follow the underground river for a while, and you will come across an ancient Jin Dynasty tomb. There are some funerary objects inside, which can be considered as cigarette money for the brothers."

"Chief Su, what Brigade Commander Zhang told me was that I was by your side."

The engineering company commander was slightly taken aback, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He clearly understood Su Chen's meaning.

In any case, the money from these funerary objects would go into his and his brothers' hands, not to Old Zhang.

No matter how much he repeated Lao Zhang's orders, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

Su Chen knew he would say that, and calmly responded.

"Don't worry, the people I brought are all skilled, there won't be any problems. Besides, the tomb isn't big, it can be emptied in a day at most."

Speaking of this, he had to praise Liu Dacheng. Although he didn't say anything, this guy knew to pick out some things that were easy to take.

The rest are some slightly larger funerary objects, and it will take some effort to move them out.

Putting everything else aside, the tunnel that people can only crawl through needs to be widened first.

"But……"

"Don't worry, I won't tell Lao Zhang about this. The brothers have worked hard in this freezing weather."

Su Chen's words interrupted the hesitation of the engineering company commander.

He nodded repeatedly, expressing his gratitude.

"Then I'll do as you say."

"I'll go there first, don't keep me waiting too long."

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, indicating how much she valued him.

Sometimes, his casual gesture would make the other party feel honored, especially after these artifacts were given away, it was clear that there was less of a barrier between them.

The head of the engineering company said he would send a team of engineers along.

But Su Chen said no need. He would need to find the right spot and understand the situation once he got there. It would be just right for the engineering corps to arrive after he finished setting up the site.

He couldn't persuade Su Chen otherwise, so he had to nod.

It was simply a custom among tomb raiders to never leave a grave empty-handed.

He directed his brothers to start working.

Watching the engineers, carrying specialized tools like Luoyang shovels and Yellow River hoes, and carrying tree trunks cut down from nearby, they began to widen the tomb-raiding tunnel.

Liu Dacheng's mouth opened slightly.

That's too professional. Aren't they soldiers? How come they know it so well?

Su Chen didn't pay attention to his reaction. After everyone around him had finished packing up, he slowly spoke.

"Set off."

"Shall we leave now?"

Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou, and the others didn't say anything. Having followed Su Chen for so long, they had long since developed an unspoken understanding.

Carrying the gear that had been packed in advance, we set off.

On the contrary, Liu Dacheng, an outsider, was shocked by this scene.

At first, he thought he had just encountered some professional tomb raiders, but as he spent more time with Su Chen and the others, he realized that they were not tomb raiders at all.

This is definitely a powerful outsider.

Liu Dacheng thought that if he could stay in the team, he would at least rise to prominence and become a powerful figure.

He rubbed his hands together, somewhat excited, wanting to strike up a conversation with Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou didn't think much of him at all. He just glanced at him coldly and then said nothing more.

Having been rebuffed, Liu Dacheng knew he couldn't touch these people for the time being, so he planned to find an opportunity later.

Su Chen walked in the middle of the group, silently watching Liu Dacheng's behavior without stopping him.

Anyway, it's nothing serious, so let's just treat it as entertainment.

Partridge Whistle, who was standing to the side, just looked at him without saying a word.

Su Chen vaguely guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but ask him.

"Just ask if you want to know anything."

"The reason you said that was actually to get rid of the engineer company, right?"
