Then, the aunt told us about the attitude of the villagers in Shangguan Village towards tomb robbing.
What she means is that most people in the village do not hate tomb robbers, and even acquiesce to them, because they can also gain a lot of benefits from it, such as helping the tomb robbers to cover up, making tools, rescue, sales, or selling points, etc.
This has actually formed a gray industrial chain locally.
Because there are many people in the tomb, it is quite chaotic, and various problems often arise. Some people do not get any benefits, or their benefits are robbed by others, so they report it out of anger.
There was so much noise this time because a few rat shit deliberately stirred things up.
After listening to what the aunt said, I felt much more relaxed.
It seems that the local tomb robbing trend is relatively strong, and the locals have become accustomed to it. In this case, even if we are discovered, we can probably solve the problem with some money, and we don't have to worry too much about being caught.
"Then if Xiaoye's father really came to this place, he would definitely not rob those small tombs, right?" Zhao Hu said at this time while looking at Xiaoye.
Xiaoye nodded and said, "Yes, my dad's purpose of robbing tombs is not for money, so he doesn't rob all tombs. Judging from the routes he took in the past few times, he usually picks more representative or difficult tombs." .”
"Then it's easy. Let's check how many large tombs there are in the local area. Then we can search them one by one. We will definitely find your father this time."
As soon as he said this, the aunt immediately waved her hand and said: "Then when are you going to find it? There are so many big tombs in our area that it is difficult to find them, and it is not a tourist attraction. You can find it if you want to. Those big tombs are guarded."
"Then can you bribe these guardians and then go in to rob the tomb?" Zhao Hu asked.
"You can buy it, but people also use their brains to help you, and the price they charge is relatively high. If you don't get anything valuable, I'm afraid you will lose money. I suggest you go find some new tombs. Well, the most indispensable thing in our place is tombs."
After saying that, the aunt smiled half-jokingly: "I have provided you with so much information. If you really get the treasure later, can you share some with me, or just give me some hard work money?"
"Don't worry, we are not stingy people, and we will never leave you behind."
"Okay, then if you need anything later, whether it's tools or anything else, I can find someone to provide it for you."
"Forget about the tools. We have people providing the tools ourselves. It's mainly enough that you provide us with some important information."
"Okay, I will provide you with any news immediately."
As soon as the aunt finished speaking, there was a sudden noise from the door outside.
Then the door was pushed open, and a thinner, darker-skinned uncle walked in. This man was the aunt's man.
"My man is back." The aunt looked at Xiaoye and said, "Hurry up and ask him if there is any news about your father."
Xiao Ye couldn't wait to get up. After walking to the door, she opened the door curtain and asked her uncle: "Uncle, how are you? Is there any news about my dad?"
The uncle smiled bitterly and said: "That guy is quite cautious. I didn't ask for any useful information, but you can go and talk to him. He is looking for someone to hold the pot now. Just say that you want to hold the pot with them." "
"Then where is he now?"
"He's in the village. You might as well bring one or two people to talk to him."
"Okay." Xiaoye looked back at me and said, "Follow me."
I nodded and said yes. When I was about to leave, the uncle pointed to his mouth again and said, "Let him go too. He looks quite old and looks like a tomb robber. Both of you He's so young and doesn't look like that, and I'm afraid that he might become suspicious and refuse to tell the truth."
Jian Zui still smiled and said: "What you mean is that I am the sloppiest and most useless person."
The uncle waved his hands hurriedly: "I don't mean that."
Xiao Ye looked at Zhao Hu and Xiao Zizi: "Then you two wait here, and the three of us will go take a look."
Afterwards, the three of us followed the uncle around the village, and finally came to a small, desolate courtyard, where we met the Sichuan man who wanted to hold a pot.
This man was very short, not even 1.6 meters tall, with sunken eye sockets, giving him a feeling of malnutrition.
The first thought in my mind when I saw him was:
He is definitely not from Sichuan that the driver met on the desert road, because his appearance does not match the driver's description. As for whether he is with Xiaoye's father, we don't know.
But Xiaoye was a little excited when she saw him. Obviously she thought it was this person. I thought maybe the person who reported to her in Huduge Town had described the appearance of Sichuan people, and she thought it matched him.
The uncle gave a brief introduction and told the Sichuan people that we were here to share the pot with him.
The Sichuan native, who calls himself Yaoji, stared at the three of us for a moment. It could be seen from his eyes that he seemed a little disappointed.
Then he shook his head and sighed: "I don't think you are good at it. You are too young and don't have much experience, right? I have to fight a tough battle this time, and I have to hold a big pot, so I need experienced hands."
Xiaoye said: "You may not think of us as young, but we still have experience, and the tombs we touched before are relatively well-established."
I also wanted to test this Yaoji at this time, so I deliberately said: "I wonder if you have heard of the ancient city of Muta, in the Alxa area. We all went there to explore, and we came out of the desert alive."
As soon as I said these words, Yaoji's brows instantly furrowed. He stared at me with a very cautious look, and asked after a long time: "Have you been to the ancient city of Muta?"
I nodded: "Yes."
"Stop bragging. I've heard of that place too. It's deep in the desert. As a young man in your twenties, you can't find the place even if you look for it, let alone come out alive."
I say it's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, I can tell you the detailed process.
He didn't speak, but stared at me more cautiously.
Jianzui and Xiaoye next to me also spoke to me at this time, saying that we had indeed been to the ancient city of Muta and had just come back.
He still didn't believe us and asked disdainfully: "Really? Then do you know about Ekenhuduge Town?"
If he could tell Ekenhuduge Town, I basically knew in my heart that he was almost an accomplice of Xiaoye's father.
"I must know. How could we not know when we just came from there." As I said that, I told Yaoji some information about Erkenhuduge Town, such as how big the town is, what kind of buildings are there, and where What are the people like, what is the largest hotel, etc.
After saying this, Yaoji's eyes flickered a little. He looked at us again, and it was obvious that he was really interested in us at this time.
"Did you really find the ancient city of Muta? And came out intact?"
"right."
"Did you meet anyone on the way there?" he asked tentatively.
I said that I met a man with a scar on his face in the ancient city of Muta, but when I fled from the desert later, this man died in the storm.
When I mentioned the scarred man, Yaoji looked even more shocked. While shocked, his eyes looked wary of us.
He was not in a hurry to speak, but lit up his cigarette and took a puff, and then asked me: "Who are you, and what is the purpose of coming to me? I don't think you are here to make a pot, do you?"
Obviously, he thought we were sent by Scar Man, and based on what we knew before, he and Xiaoye's father left because of a conflict with Scar Man and the others.
Xiao Ye was probably a little impatient. Before I could say anything, she said to Yaoji straight to the point: "Uncle, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Let me ask you, do you know my dad? My dad's surname is Su. He seems to be He's your accomplice, please tell me where he is, didn't he come with you from Ekenhudug Town?"
