After leaving the main tomb, the four of them walked back the way they had come. Halfway through, Yingzi, who was walking behind, unintentionally turned around and saw two children not far behind her.
"Ah!"
Yingzi called out and rushed forward, hugging Xiang Qian's arm and saying to Xiang Qian,""Big Brother Xiang, there are…there are…there are two children behind us!”
Xiang Qian frowned when he heard that. He turned around and saw two children waving at him from behind.
Fatty and Old Hu also looked over, but they didn't see anything. Fatty said,""Yingzi, are you seeing things? There was nothing behind him. Are you trying to take advantage of Lord Xiang?”Fatty even laughed at the end.
Yingzi panicked." I didn't! I really saw it!"”
Xiang Qian also said," Yingzi is right. There are really two children waving at us from behind, as if they want us to follow them. Let's go and take a look."
With that, Xiang Qian pulled out his arm from Yingzi's embrace and walked towards the child's side.
Old Hu and Fatty listened to Xiang Qian's words and also believed Yingzi's words. Since Xiang Qian also saw it, it meant that Yingzi really saw it.
"Old Hu, are there really ghosts in this world?!”
Fatty shrunk his neck and whispered to Old Hu Shuo.
Old Hu followed Xiang Qian back and said,""Of course there is. Didn't you see the big dumpling just now? Let's go."
Fatty and Yingzi followed him back.
When the two little ghosts saw Xiang Qian and the other three return, they turned around and led the way to a room at the side. When they reached the door of the room, the two little ghosts directly entered through the door.
Xiang Qian and the others came to the door of the room where the little ghost entered. They opened the door and saw a small coffin in the room. When they opened the coffin, they saw the bodies of a boy and a girl inside. The bodies were placed in the coffin in a kneeling position.
The two children's bodies were glowing with silver light, and there was no sign of decay on their bodies.
"Why are there two corpses here? Moreover, these two corpses had not decomposed at all after so long, and they were still emitting silver light?”
Fatty asked curiously when he saw the two corpses.
" This is a sacrificial child used by the ancient nobles. When the child was still alive, they would fix the child's posture and separate the child's head from the child's mouth. Then, they would pour a large amount of mercury into the child's head and mouth. This way, the child would not rot no matter how long they were left dead. Moreover, they would maintain the posture of death. At the same time, they would confine the child's soul in the corpse, making it impossible for them to reincarnate. They could not be too far away from the corpse. I think these two brats lured us here so that we can bring their corpses out to be buried so that we can get rid of the seal and reincarnate.”Old Hu explained to Fatty.
After hearing Old Hu's words, Fatty cursed at the burial method of the feudal society. Then, he reached out to carry out the two small corpses.
Xiang Qian, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, reached out and stopped Fatty, saying,"Don't move. Their bodies are filled with mercury and are poisonous. Let's just carry the coffin out and bury them.”
As he spoke, he reached out and closed the coffin lid again. Then, he called Old Hu and Fatty to carry the coffin out of the room and continue walking out.
By the time they left the tomb, it was already bright outside. The three of them brought Yingzi to fill the tomb again. Then, Old Hu used the compass to find a good burial place for the two little ghosts 'bodies. He dug a pit and buried the two little ghosts' bodies. After burying the two little ghosts, Old Hu suddenly found a pair of bronze wine cups in his pocket.
Old Hu took out his wine glass and said to Xiang Qian and Fatty,"Looks like these are the two brats 'gifts of thanks to us. Bronze wine cups can be worth a lot of money.”
The few of them packed their things and rode back to the village.
A few days later, the four of them returned to the village.
Xiang Qian, Old Hu, and Fatty stayed in the village for a few more days before driving back to Sijiu City.
When they arrived at Sijiu City, the three of them went straight to Big Golden Tooth's shop. When Big Golden Tooth saw the three of them, he immediately went up to greet them warmly and asked where they had been recently. He didn't see them.
Fatty began to brag about their trip to the tomb to Big Golden Tooth while taking out the mask, two pieces of white jade, and a pair of bronze wine cups that Little Ghost had given him.
Big Golden Tooth saw the few things that Fatty took out and immediately got up to walk to the door, closing it and locking it. Then, he took out a magnifying glass and began to look carefully.
After looking at it for a while, Big Golden Tooth looked at all the items and stood up to say to the three of them,"Masters, the normal market price of this gold mask is about 50,000 yuan. This pair of bronze wine cups are well preserved, so the normal market price is about 30,000 yuan. As for this pair of white jade, it's not worth much.”
Hearing Big Golden Tooth's words, Fatty was anxious. For these two pieces of white jade, they even made a big dumpling. In the end, this pair of white jade was the least valuable. It was not even worth as much as the black mask and the gifts from the two little ghosts. Where did this go?
Fatty stood up from his chair and came to Big Golden Tooth. He wanted Big Golden Tooth to explain to him why this pair of white jade was worthless.
Big Golden Teeth told Fatty that this white jade was just an ordinary white jade. It was a symbol of honor for the generals of the ancient ethnic minorities. Just like this pair of white jade carved with moths, the ancients used moths to fly into the fire to describe the bravery of a warrior. Therefore, it represented that the owner of this pair of white jade was a brave general in battle, so it was not worth much.
Old Hu patted Fatty, who still wanted to continue pestering him, and said to Big Golden Tooth,"Master Jin, help us contact the buyer as soon as possible. We want to sell it as soon as possible.”
Big Golden Teeth thought for a moment and said," Since you are in a hurry to use the money, how about this? I will give you 80,000 yuan for the mask and wine glass according to the normal market price. I will give you 10,000 yuan for this pair of white jade. You sell it to me. When the time comes, I will pay for the price. What do you think?"”
The three of them looked at each other and agreed.
Big Golden Tooth carefully packed the things and carried them to a safe. He opened the safe and put the things in. Then, he took out two stacks of money and handed it to Old Hu."Master Hu, here's 100,000 yuan. I see that the three of you are so capable. Take the extra 10,000 yuan as a token of my friendship with you. In the future, if the three of you have anything else, I hope you can bring it to me for help.”
Old Hu took the money and agreed to Big Golden Tooth's request. He rejected Big Golden Tooth's proposal to treat the three of them to a meal. The money, Xiang Qian, and Fatty drove back to Xiang Qian's house.
When they arrived at Xiang Qian's house, the three of them washed up and went to rest.
The next day, Old Hu and Fatty didn't get up until noon. After the two of them got up, they went out for lunch with Xiang Qian and returned to Xiang Qian's house.
Old Hu, Fatty, and Xiang Qian sat at the table. Old Hu said,""Lord Xiang, the Dark Artifact was sold for 100,000 this time. You contributed the most, so you'll get 40,000. Fatty and I will each get 20,000. I want to mail the remaining 20,000 to Yingzi.”
"We'll talk about that later. Old Hu, let me ask you something. How do you plan to spend your money?”Xiang Qian did not answer Old Hu's question. Instead, he asked how he planned to spend his money.
When Old Hu heard Xiang Qian's words, he said without hesitation,""I want to send the 20,000 yuan to the families of my comrades who sacrificed themselves and to the Oxheart Mountain. This way, their living conditions can be improved.”
"What can you solve with that? Split my 40,000 too."
Fatty was listening to Old Hu and Xiang Qian preparing to give the money to the families of their fallen comrades and Niu Xinshan. He also said,"Sigh! Since the two of you have given your share to your comrade's family and Oxheart Mountain, why don't you give mine too? I can't just let the two of you be in the limelight, right? I, Lord Fatty, have a very high level of awareness, okay?”
When Old Hu and Xiang Qian heard Fatty's words, they smiled and patted Fatty's shoulder.
After the three of them discussed, they wrote the letter in the afternoon and went out to mail the money.
Ps:
May I ask if I'm writing too fast? Should he describe the situation in the tomb and the fighting scene in detail?
