The person who went out to greet us before, whom Liu Baye called Xiao Duan, was called Duan Wei. He was a person who lived with Er Bao. It is said that he was responsible for the funeral affairs of the old woman in Luoyang at that time.
As for how the old lady died, I won’t say more here.
Duan Wei was considered a brother to Er Bao through life and death, and Er Bao had never treated Duan Wei badly. According to Er Bao, when D Bao was buried, Duan Wei cried the most sadly except for him.
The reason why I haven't met Duan Wei is because he usually only communicates with Erbao on a single line, just to get information from Lei Lei. This time it happened by chance, so after consulting Liu Baye's opinion, , only then did Duan Wei join the team.
Duan Wei had also been listening to Erbao talking about Liu Baye. Now that he saw the real person, he would inevitably be excited, and the scene just happened outside.
After all, Tan Shiya was such a person who stepped in midway. Due to her status, naturally she couldn't discuss things in front of her.
After Tan Shiya was invited back to the bedroom by me, Liu Baye started to talk about this trip to Gushui...
Erbao, the driver Wang Ge, and Duan Wei were originally doing finishing work in a portal in Shandong. They were called here temporarily by Liu Baye, so naturally they didn't understand Liu Baye's plan.
So Liu Baye told them again what he had told Gouzi and me about Qiu Hun in the villa.
The reason why I chose to live in this remote village is that it is the place where the two meet into one, which is the source of Gushui River.
The total length of the Qingyi River is 194 kilometers. The reason why we chose this place was because of the guidance of others. The person who gave the guidance was Hall Master Cao of the porcelain shop. As for Qiu Hun, Liu Baye I also learned this from the mouth of Hall Master Cao.
Liu Baye has always acted cautiously and would never believe someone's one-sided words. Later, after many inquiries and verifications, he was convinced of the authenticity of Qiu Hun.
"Godfather, the Cao Gang are not all good people. We have to be careful about them this time." I said worriedly.
I have told Master Liu about my encounters with Cao Gang's men one after another, but when he heard me mention Cao Gang, Master Liu didn't seem too surprised. Apparently, when he came into contact with Hall Master Cao, he had already Know his identity.
When we were in the porcelain shop before, Liu Baye had talked about each getting what he wanted without interfering with the other. That is, Liu Baye came here specifically for the Qiu Soul, and Hall Master Cao could not interfere with the fire.
The reason why Hall Master Cao abolished Zhou Zhang and found Liu Ba Ye was to ask Liu Ba Ye to help him find the entrance to a tomb hidden deep under the Gishui River. As for which dynasty and generation it belongs to, Not sure anymore.
I asked Mr. Liu when he would start taking action. Mr. Liu said he was not in a hurry. He said that he and Hall Master Cao had agreed on a time and they would meet at the meeting point two days later.
During these two days, Liu Baye also sent drivers Wang Ge and Duan Wei to purchase various tools and even diving equipment in case of emergency.
Not only that, Liu Baye also invited an expert to dig out water holes this time, and he was on his way here.
As we all know, the tomb-robbing sects in Kyushu can be roughly divided into two factions, namely northern and southern factions.
I have mentioned the differences between the Northern and Southern schools before, but I won’t go into too many details. What I want to talk about now is about being proficient in digging water holes, and that can only be the Southern school.
The geology in the north is dry. No matter how deep the tomb is, it is difficult to find a flooded tomb. Even if there is a tomb filled with water, it is feasible to wade through the water.
However, the geology in the south is exactly the opposite. Due to the humid climate, most tombs in the south are rich in water vapor. The water vapor seeps from the surface into the ground to form underground rivers. However, if you encounter a tomb on the way, it will stop there. All the water vapor gathers here to form a water hole.
And the south is mostly close to the sea. People in 1989 and 1989 were all masters of diving and swimming, so the people who stole the house were naturally no longer a problem.
On the other hand, most of the people in the north are landlubbers. They are extraordinary in dry land, but their claws become numb when they encounter water holes.
This time, Liu Baye asked for help from the water cave. On the one hand, he was helping Hall Master Cao find the entrance to the underwater tomb. On the other hand, only such a person could help Liu Baye find the person who was also in the water. The Qiu Soul is located, and as for the diving equipment we need to purchase, we will save it for us to use for sneaking when we find the source.
The matter was almost explained, and the sky gradually dimmed. Erbao had let Duan Wei rent this house as early as a week ago, so there was no one other than our group.
Although the house is not too spacious, it does have two bedrooms, one large and one small. The larger one is for everyone to open the bunk together, while the smaller one can only sleep one or two people. Originally, Duan Wei left it to Liu Ba. Damn it, but now, a girl like Tan Shiya appears out of nowhere, so I can only let her live in the cabin.
Knowing that we were coming, Duan Wei also prepared a lot of food in advance, including fish, meat and vegetables. Duan Wei even showed off his skills, not to mention that the food was just like those in high-end restaurants.
Later, I heard from Er Bao that Duan Wei used to be a senior chef in a big hotel. Later, he was fired because he offended some powerful people, and then he met Er Bao by accident.
Speaking of why Duan Wei followed Erbao wholeheartedly, we have to start from when Duan Wei was fired.
I heard from Erbao that Duan Wei offended a high-ranking official because he cooked the wrong dish. It happened that the high-ranking official was entertaining some important guests, and the wrong dish was served, which made the other party hold a grudge.
He couldn't help but ordered the hotel owner to fire Duan Wei, and even after the fall, he caused trouble for Duan Wei. One night, a group of people broke into Duan Wei's home and injured Duan Wei and his elderly father.
My father was old and couldn't stand the trouble, so he passed away in a few days. Later, Duan Wei became so angry that he went to seek revenge on that dignitary with a kitchen knife. Unfortunately, no one saw him, and he almost lost his life.
Erbao happened to be passing by at that time and sent Duan Wei, who was covered in blood, to the hospital. Only then did he save his life.
As for what happened to that dignitary, it is said that he later lost all his money and was forced to jump off a building. Some people said that it was because there was something wrong with the feng shui of the ancestral tomb. In fact, Erbao and Duan Wei dug up their ancestral tomb and removed the previous things inside. Everything was looted, and the bones in the tomb were scattered all over the mountains and plains. Many of them were picked up by wild wolves and dogs.
From then on, Duan Wei was so grateful that he followed Erbao wholeheartedly into robbing tombs for a living.
Of course, Duan Wei has never been to the grave in the true sense. After Dabao died, Liu Baye seemed to have broken an arm. This time he also deliberately cultivated Duan Wei.
………………
Before I knew it, it was completely dark. There was no need for the hustle and bustle of the city in the countryside, so as soon as it got dark, it was time to go to bed.
I don’t know if Duan Wei rents the house on a per-person basis. The big house can sleep six people in total, but there are seven of us.
"Brother Erbao, squeeze in and give me some room."
Erbao gave me a fierce look and said, "Go, go, go sleep with Miss Tan family, there is no place for you here."
Liu Baye will not see me sleeping without a place. He also knows that I am not that kind of person and will never take the opportunity to share a room with Tan Shiya, so he plans to let me lie in his place while he A mat was spread out casually on the ground.
Master Liu is an elder. How could I let him sleep on the ground? I immediately rejected Master Liu's kindness and spread out the mat and lay down.
As I said before, the climate in the south is humid. Even if you sleep on the bed, when you wake up the next morning, the bottom of the quilt will be wet, let alone the ground.
The first half of the night was fine, but in the second half of the night, the entire mat was soaked with moisture from the ground. I couldn't sleep despite tossing and turning.
The other people were sleeping soundly, and I didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of waking them up.
In desperation, I remembered the dining table in the dining room and thought about lying on it for half the night, so I stood up, abandoned the wet mat and walked out of the big bedroom.
