That woman was their childhood playmate, Yanzi.
When the three of them saw each other, they immediately hugged each other. Tears flowed down unconsciously, making Chu Jian's heart ache.
That night, the three of them stayed at Yanzi's house and received the highest level of hospitality. They braised wild rabbits, steamed venison, little pheasant stewed with mushrooms, pickled cabbage powder boiled white meat, and a large table full of hard dishes.
"Children, don't be so polite. Yanzi has learned all of your auntie's cooking skills. This dish is very delicious. Come, let's have a bite first.”
The old secretary and Yanzi's father accompanied them. They poured an porcelain jar of white wine for each of them and urged them to eat and drink.
"Brother Hu, my alcohol tolerance is poor.”Chu Jian was afraid that he would delay things after drinking, so he gave Hu Payi a look.
Hu Payi understood and took a sip of tea. He gritted his teeth and said,"Tsk, old uncle, after so many years, our village's kaoliang wine is still authentic!”
"Of course!"
"It's an old craft that has been around for hundreds of years," Yanzi's father said proudly."This jar we opened must have been buried for more than ten years, right? Oh right, it was buried the second year after you left. It was just in time for you to come back. How was it?”
"Uncle... I... I... We…"
Upon hearing this, Hu Payi was instantly reminded of the scene. In addition, the alcohol was indeed strong. His eyes were red and he stuttered, unable to speak.
This time, Fatty was quite observant. He directly opened his mouth and said,"Uncle, I won't hide it from you. The two of us came back this time to bring everyone back to earn money.”
Coincidentally, Yanzi brought over a large basin of fish soup and asked curiously,""Make a fortune? What fortune?"
"Selling antiques!"
Perhaps because he had been holding it in for too long, Fatty got excited when he talked about making money."When we cut the queue, didn't every household in the village have porcelain bottles and earthen pots that were fished out of the river? That's an antique. It's just a salted vegetable in our house, but in Beijing, it's worth a lot of money!”
Hu Payi collected his emotions and echoed,""That's right. Fatty and I have planned to collect all the old things from the villagers and bring them to the capital to find buyers. The money from the sale will be divided equally among us.”
"Oh my god, then you're late.”
Yanzi covered her mouth and exclaimed. Then, she told him about the ancient tomb at Bull's Head Mountain in Laba Valley.
Finally, she said," Old Secretary, you're also sincere. You even urged us to hand over our own old items. Sigh, we've suffered a huge loss this time."”
Chu Jian had already known about this outcome, but his expression did not change at all. Hu Payi and Fatty were dumbfounded, and their faces could not help but reveal disappointment and frustration.
Yanzi's father was a shrewd old man. Seeing this, he muttered,""If you want to find an ancient tomb, go north and enter the mountain through Old Cliff. After walking for five days, there's a black mountain mouth. According to the old legends, is the nearby Savage Valley the Great Liao or the Great Jin? Well, it was an official burial group anyway, and there were many nobles buried inside.”
"Hey! This was really a dead end, but there was a silver lining! Uncle Lai, I'll accompany you!" Fatty was extremely excited when he heard that and he kept toasting Yanzi's father.
Yanzi's father drank his wine and smiled." There's no need to flatter me. I treat you as my nephews. I won't hide anything. How about this? Tomorrow, I'll arrange a good guide to bring you into the mountains!”
"Alright!" Hu Payi also laughed. This trip was not in vain.
Hearing this, a voice sounded in Chu Jian's mind. He received another system notification.
"Ding! [Congratulations to the host for successfully joining Hu Payi's tomb raiding team. Reward: A genuine Gold Touching Talisman!] It has been stored in your storage space."
"Ding! "New mission: personally pry open the coffin of the general's tomb. Reward for completion: One chance to choose a divine-tier."”
"Alright, the big prize is finally here!" Chu Jian secretly clenched his fists. He was determined to get the Divine level.
According to the system's rules, completing any mission would only reward one with an item. Only by opening the coffin and examining the corpse could one obtain a divine-level choice.
Only in the god-level selection would there be high-end items such as body strengthening, mysterious secret techniques, and gold-digging techniques.
Hu Payi and Fatty Wang's faces turned red from the wine. They patted their shoulders and promised the old secretary that as long as they had a harvest from this trip into the mountains, they would definitely build a bridge and pave the way for the village.
The three of them were all resolute and decisive. They decided to enter the tomb and packed their equipment the next day.
All the men in the village had gone to work in Ox-Head Mountain. The guide was Sakurako, a girl who was not even twenty years old. She was very beautiful and had an outgoing and fierce personality.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you going? Wrong, it's this way!"
"Fatty, can you not run around? There are smoke bubbles everywhere. With your size, who can pull you if you fall in?”
"Brother Chu Jian, go pick up firewood and start a fire. Fatty, you go peel the rabbit. Brother Hu, set up the tent.”
In a few days, she was like a hound, ordering Chu Jian and the others around without any temper.
In Fatty's words, this little girl was so angry that she didn't give in to Little Chili. If it weren't for her good looks, she definitely wouldn't be able to get married in the future!
Of course, he was speaking out of anger.
Although Sakurako was fierce, she was a good hunter and guide. In four days, she brought them to the Black Mountain Pass.
After a meal, the mastiff chased two rabbits and accidentally brought everyone into the Savage Valley.
Looking at the color of the sky, he realized that he couldn't move tonight. Chu Jian pointed to an empty space near the stream and said,""Let's set up camp here."
"Alright, Brother Chu Jian has chosen a good place.”Sakurako did not give any guidance, which was rare.
In fact, other than bickering with Fatty, she was quite polite to Chu Jian and Hu Payi.
The three old men each did their own thing, but Sakurako took the mastiff out, saying that she was going to patrol.
Everyone can give me unlimited motivation just by moving their fingers. Thank you.
