LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 5
"Old Hu, it's true, there is really a tomb down there."
The fat man's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and he wanted to go in and take a look right away.
"Old Hu, Fatty, it's not convenient to find it at this time, and it's hard to see clearly at night. Let's have a good rest today and search nearby tomorrow morning."
Li Daoxuan said to Hu Pang and the others.
Several people gathered around the fire, roasting wild boar meat. They didn't speak in silence. After eating, they went back to sleep in the simple tents they had built.
The next day
Li Daoxuan was still asleep when he was shaken awake by Fatty Wang. When he opened his eyes, he saw Fatty looking at him with a smile on his face. In an instant, Li Daoxuan got goose bumps all over his body, pushed Fatty away, and walked out of the tent with Fatty.
After Li Daoxuan and Fatty walked out of the tent, they saw Hu Bayi and Yingzi had packed up and were ready to explore. Li Daoxuan ended up being the last one to get up.
The four of them started searching nearby. Because of the wild boar incident yesterday, the four of them did not separate.
After walking for a while, they saw a shack in front of them. It was sunny during the day, and the four of them looked over and saw corpses all over the ground, which had already turned into white bones.
After seeing this, Yingzi did not dare to move forward. Li Daoxuan had no choice but to let Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi go over to take a look.
After a while, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi came back, holding something in their hands.
Hu Bayi said, "The soldiers in front were Xiao Rizi's soldiers. They originally wanted to meet Xiao Rizi in the Kwantung Army fortress, but the forest was too big and they couldn't find him after searching for several years. Later, a group of tomb robbers came and told them that Xiao Rizi had surrendered. They killed the tomb robbers and committed suicide."
Because Yingzi was afraid, Li Daoxuan did not take her over to take a look, and the few of them looked around again.
They saw a square robber's hole next to a century-old tree. The few of them walked over and saw a dark area below.
Hu Bayi asked Wang Pangzi to tie a rope on the tree to make it easier to get down.
After several people went down, they saw a long corridor. Fatty took the lead to walk forward to test whether there were any traps or something.
He walked forward carefully and saw that there were indeed no traps. He turned back to greet the three people. Li Daoxuan, Yingzi, and Hu Bayi followed.
Fatty and Hu Bayi pushed open the tomb door and saw an antechamber. There were statues and murals around them.
Hu Bayi turned on the flashlight, looked at the murals around, and said to several people.
"This painting shows the scene of fighting on the battlefield. The other one on the side is a scene of victory and triumph. The remaining two are scenes of being captured and being granted a title."
"Old Hu, it looks like the owner of the tomb should be a general." Li Daoxuan analyzed.
Just when he said this, Hu Bayi looked around and saw that only Li Daoxuan and Yingzi were there. The fat man walking in front ran away to an unknown place. Hu Bayi shouted.
Then a response was heard from the back room, which was the voice of the disappeared fat man.
"Old Hu, Old Li, Yingzi, come and have a look, there are good things here."
After hearing that it was the fat man, the few people smiled at each other and followed him to the back room.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw the fat man holding a nearly decayed weapon and gesturing there.
Hu Bayi and Li Daoxuan looked around with flashlights. They saw that most of the back room was filled with weapons, with a mace placed in the center. In an inconspicuous corner, Li Daoxuan saw a stone table with porcelain placed on it. Because it was buried deep underground for many years, the thick dust on it hid the original exquisiteness of the porcelain.
The fat man saw that the few people finally came over and said to them.
"Old Hu, Old Li, have a look, are there any valuables among these things."
Hu Bayi looked around and saw some broken copper and iron, bottles and jars. He thought they were all worthless, so he said to Fatty Wang.
"This general probably didn't have any elegant hobbies when he was alive, and he was poor enough. These are not worth much if you take them out."
"Old Hu, you are wrong. Have you seen the bottles and jars over there? I guess they are all Song Dynasty porcelain. If they are official kilns, they are worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands."
Li Daoxuan said to Hu Bayi. If Hu Bayi and Fatty just threw these things away, they didn't know how much money they would lose. They would be heartbroken later.
"Old Li, you are kidding, it's so valuable, let me see."
The fat man walked directly to the stone table where the porcelain was placed. Seeing so much dust on the porcelain, he wiped it with his clothes. After the dust was wiped off, he saw the original appearance of the porcelain, which was a sky-blue vase. The fat man was instantly ecstatic and held the vase tightly.
After seeing the original appearance of the porcelain, Hu Bayi was also stunned by the delicate and smooth Song Dynasty porcelain, which looked like ice and jade.He also walked to the stone table and wiped the other porcelains.
Li Daoxuan said to the two: "There are at least 20 or 30 pieces of these porcelains. If you take them out, you can sell them for at least 10 million. If you can sell them at an auction, you can sell them for at least 20 million."
After hearing this, the fat man emptied his backpack and stuffed the pieces into the backpack one by one.
Hu Bayi's face, which was originally quite happy, suddenly became serious and said.
"Old Li, Fatty, didn't I tell Big Gold Tooth before that we can't do grave robbery and dig graves, and these things can't be taken out."
After hearing this, Fatty Wang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Daoxuan.
"Old Hu, I understand what you mean. You talked to us before. The families of your dead comrades have a hard time. If you keep insisting on doing this, how can their lives get better? How can their lives be improved? Are we going to be poor all our lives? What's more, we didn't steal graves. We came in openly, not secretly."
Wang Pangzi and Yingzi laughed when they heard the second half of the sentence.
After hearing what Li Daoxuan said, Hu Ba was no longer so persistent and put the things in the backpack with Fatty.
Li Daoxuan also said to Yingzi: "Yingzi, you should also take some back. This time you come back to help the villagers get rich. After selling these, they can also improve the lives of the villagers."
Yingzi was a little embarrassed at first, but after hearing what Li Daoxuan said, she also put a few in her backpack, but they were all smaller.
Li Daoxuan saw this scene and thought: This girl is so kind, it is even more impossible to give up, and she will become the daughter-in-law of Lao Li's family sooner or later.
After everyone had packed, everyone's backpack was bulging with stuff, and they all had smiles on their faces.
After packing up, they returned to the front room, and the fat man said curiously.
"How come the coffin is missing in such a large tomb? Was it stolen by the last wave of tomb robbers?"
