I asked: "Is it your father's partner abroad, the one who opened the museum? Your father seemed to have told me about it before."
"Yes, that's him. Come quickly. If you get to know him, it will be much easier for you to ship goods in the future. It will definitely be of great help to you."
I jokingly said, "You really want to send your dad to the cell."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"I am a tomb robber, and your dad acted as a middleman to introduce me to the buyer. If something goes wrong later, your dad will be considered an accomplice."
"Oh, I'm not afraid. Besides, our family has connections, so we can solve any problem."
As she said that, she urged again: "Come quickly. Go buy a ticket early tomorrow morning. Don't let Zhao Hu drive you. I don't want to see him."
What can I say, although I think there is no harm in knowing the curator of this museum, but now I don’t worry about sales, because we have found Xiaoye’s father, and her father and Yaoji will definitely be marketable.
There is no need for me to make a special trip to Shanghai now.
So I politely declined: "I'll go see your metropolis again when I get the chance. I have something to do these two days and can't leave."
"What's the matter with you? Wasn't Nini taken away by that Taoist priest? You haven't started robbing tombs now. Besides, opportunities don't always come. What if you have time later and someone else leaves? And this time My uncle is coming too, and I can introduce you to my uncle then."
"Your uncle? You mean the big leader in our provincial capital?"
"right."
I smiled bitterly and said, "How can someone like your uncle think so highly of a little person like me? How will you introduce me when the time comes and say I am a tomb robber? People will not look at me seriously at all."
"How could it be? You are my savior. My parents respect you. My uncle will definitely be very polite to you. Besides, if it doesn't work, I will say that you are my partner, so that my uncle can always take him seriously. Are you ready? Maybe he will arrange a good job for you in your hometown later, and you won’t have to rob tombs. That’s not a regular business after all.”
I said forget it, I really had something to do and couldn't leave.
The short-haired woman seemed a little angry: "Why are you such a stupid person? Such a good opportunity is before you, why are you indifferent? Do you know how many people want to get to know my uncle? They call me every three days to ask when my uncle will be. Come back, do you want to treat me to dinner? I've already invited you, but you don't come. Are you stupid?"
Actually, what can I say? Didn't Zhao Hu and I set our ideals and goals before? We just want to show off our personalities in our hometown.
If I really get involved with the short-haired girl's uncle, it will be easier for me to get along in my hometown. Then I won't have to worry about Zhang Qingshan or Yuan Fuqiang.
I understand this.
However, since I have no background and I have no intention of dating a virgin with short hair, I don’t know what identity I should use to meet her uncle. I can’t go there and say I’m a tomb robber, right?
Anyway, if you go there, you will definitely not leave a good impression on others, and it will be counterproductive.
What's more, I don't intend to rely on her uncle. He is a leader, not a bastard, and he is not on the same page as me. It is not appropriate for me to meet others either emotionally or rationally.
Thinking of this, I continued to refuse: "No need, I won't go."
"Why? I've said so much, why don't you understand?"
I said, "If you called me to talk about this, I would hang up."
"Oh, you're really pissing me off. Don't you want to stand out? If you want to, then this is your chance..."
I was getting a little impatient at this time and said angrily: "Okay, I'll ask you one last time, do you have anything else to say?"
"I..." The short-haired woman was obviously really angry with me. She was silent for a moment without even saying goodbye, and hung up the phone.
When I returned to the dinner table, I felt strange.
You and I are not partners, we are just friends. Do you deserve to be angry?
When we got back to the table, Zhao Hu also deliberately asked me what I was talking about with the short-haired girl. I had just been scolded by the short-haired girl, and I felt unhappy, so naturally I angrily told him to stop being so mean.
Zhao Hu saw that I was in a bad state, coughed and said nothing more. Sister Yuan seemed to have something to ask me at that time, but she didn't say anything in the end, probably because she was afraid that I would be angry.
The next morning, Xiaoye called us and said that she was coming to Luoyang with her father and would arrive tonight. The brother who sent the equipment from Sister Yuan would also arrive in Luoyang tonight.
If everything goes well, we can go to the imperial concubine's tomb tomorrow.
As for the specific location of this tomb, Yaoji said that he had already visited it. It was near several slate and brick factories, where there was a dirt road connecting to Heunguan Village.
In the field on the west side of the dirt road, there is an abandoned tomb. Under this tomb, there are several small tombs stacked up. The inside has long been robbed, and the tomb of the imperial concubine is among these empty tombs. Below, the robbery hole has been hidden by the previous group of tomb robbers. We can just dig the robbery hole directly without spending too much effort.
Anyway, according to Yaoji, if we are fast, we can do it in one night.
But now there are a few problems.
First of all, the entrance to the tomb is in a field by the roadside, very close to the dirt road, only a few meters away.
There is no place to hide a car nearby, and Shangguan Village is a big village with a lot of people, so there are naturally a lot of people coming and going. Sometimes the brick factory and floor slab factory are still closed at night, and they work all night long. , that place is also too close to the brick factory and flooring factory, so it is easy to be discovered and the risk is relatively high.
How to bring the equipment into the tomb safely and secretly is the first problem we have to solve.
After Yaoji told us the specific situation, Zhao Hu said: "The tomb has been dug into, hasn't it? We can go in directly through the hole, and we don't need much equipment, right? At most, we just need a flashlight and a headlamp." Just put the rope and other things in your backpack and take it into the tomb. The car doesn't need to be parked on the roadside for too long. You just need to let us get out of the car and drive away. Anyway, we went to touch the hall at night and our sight was dark. , not easy to be seen.”
Xiaobianzi said: "Then the question is, after we find the things, how do we move them out? Don't we have to drive to transport them? I think we should find a safer way."
"How about we dig a tunnel from a distance? Rent a yard or factory nearby, and then dig a hole through the yard?"
Yao Ji shook his head: "Just dig a tunnel from a distance. This is Mang Mountain. There are too many underground tombs. If you dig a tunnel one or two kilometers from a distance, you don't know how many tombs you will dig along the way." , if one or two collapse, we will be in trouble, and tunneling is too time-consuming, so we mainly focus on solving it quickly."
Zhao Hu said jokingly: "The more tombs we encounter, the more treasures we will dig up. Isn't that great?"
"That's impossible. Although there are many tombs in the Mang Mountain area, nine out of ten tombs are empty. Basically, they are all empty. Moreover, Lao Su and I have a very clear purpose, which is to target this imperial concubine's tomb. We don't want to waste time on it. On other graves.”
"Then if we want to save time, let's go in directly from the entrance." I said at this time.
Yaoji nodded: "Well, this seems to be the most suitable at the moment. In fact, this problem can be easily solved. Let's run a few more times at night. First, transport the equipment and materials to the empty tomb on the top floor, and then use the empty The tomb is the base camp for further exploration.”
I thought about this as a solution, but when I thought about there being several layers of tombs below, a question popped up again. I asked: "The tombs are layered one on top of another. Is it possible that the lower layer is no longer strong and might break out at any time?" collapse?"
"Yes! This is the second issue I want to pay attention to. There are at least three or four layers of tombs above the imperial concubine's tomb. The overall structure is messy and empty, and it can easily collapse."
Xiao Zhuizi said: "It shouldn't be the case. Then when the tomb was built layer by layer, people had to ram the soil hard. It didn't collapse at that time. Will it collapse now?"
I said that so many years have passed since ancient times, and the structures inside must have deteriorated, and they must be easier to collapse than before. And another point is, isn't there dirt in the tomb of the imperial concubine? If this thing causes trouble, we are very likely to Probably buried alive inside.
