Xue Li Yang gazed at Jiang Chen. A hint of excitement flashed in her beautiful eyes.
When Big Golden Tooth had introduced Jiang Chen to her, she hadn't paid much attention to him. But now, she had to believe that this indifferent man in front of her was really capable.
However, she was very shrewd. She maintained a calm expression and smiled."Mr. Jiang, I apologize for my previous rudeness. Please rest assured that your trip to the Western Regions will not be in vain.”
"I'll take out 20,000 dollars as a reward for the team leader.”
Jiang Chen frowned. The ratio of 20,000 dollars to 1.49 dollars was 1:1, which was less than 30,000 dollars. This girl really didn't know what kind of place the Ancient City of Jingjue was.
Xue Li Yang noticed Jiang Chen's dissatisfaction. She said softly," Mr. Jiang, are you not satisfied with the reward?”
Jiang Chen's eyes fell on Xue Li Yang." Fifty thousand dollars. I'll keep you alive."”
"What?" Professor Hao stood up and said in surprise.
He was thinking that the man in front of him was unreasonable.
Saving his life?
What danger could there be in archeology?
Even Professor Chen couldn't sit still when he heard the price.
Xue Li Yang's expression remained calm." Mr. Jiang seems to be joking. What danger can there be in archeology?"”
Jiang Chen stood up. He called Old Hu, Fatty, and Big Golden Teeth and walked out." Believe it or not, it's up to you.”
When Jiang Chen walked to the door, Xue Li Yang's voice came from behind him." Okay, I agree."”
"When are we leaving?"
"Three days later."
......
Jiang Chen and Xue Li Yang had agreed to leave in three days. He took the money and left with the others.
Jiang Chen returned to the fatty's house and took out ten thousand yuan to pay Big Gold back. It was the compensation for Big Gold's hard work.
Big Golden Tooth did not delay. After thanking them, he bid farewell to the three of them and returned to the shop.
Then Jiang Chen, Old Hu, and Fatty left the house with the money.
He did not go to the bank to deposit money.
Instead, he went to the post office.
Standing in front of the post office, Fatty looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, then turned to look at Old Hu." Old Jiang, Old Hu, why are we here instead of going to the bank to deposit money?”
Fatty thought to himself, since the money was already in his hands, shouldn't he go to the bank?
The post office was a place to mail, not a place to deposit money.
Jiang Chen sighed. He spoke slowly and told him about his glorious days.
As Jiang Chen explained, Old Hu's eyes gradually turned red, and tears started to well up.
After a while.
The fat man wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and put his money in Jiang Chen's hand." Old Jiang, take my share too."”
"We are all brothers. They saved your and Old Hu's lives, which is equivalent to saving my life.”
"We can't forget this life-saving grace. They're no longer around, but we have to take good care of their family.”
Fatty's serious tone made Old Hu completely unable to hold it in.
Old Hu secretly wiped away the tears on his face." Damn fatty, I didn't expect you to be so self-aware.”
"Aren't you always greedy?"
Fatty was unhappy." I say, Comrade Hu, we are the successors of the New Era.”
"Isn't it only right to have this kind of awareness?”
"Also, don't think that I didn't see you secretly wiping the horse's urine.”
"Get lost!"
With that, Old Hu snatched the money from Fatty and walked into the post office first.
"Hey, Old Jiang, look at Old Hu. He's not happy.”After Fatty finished speaking, he followed her in.
Jiang Chen shook his head.
However, he could not hide the smile on his face.
This was Old Hu and Fatty.
......
Since there was a lot of money to be mailed, Jiang Chen, Old Fatty Hu, and the others spent more than an hour before they left the post office.
The money from selling the antiques, plus the remuneration from Xue Li Yang, Jiang Chen's and Old Hu's retirement fees, and the fat man's money, came to a total of 140,000 yuan.
The 120,000 yuan was divided into 24 portions, addressed anonymously, and sent to 24 different families.
The remaining 20,000 would be used as funds for the three of them to buy equipment and daily necessities.
"Ding dong!"
" Special mission completion rate: 25%"
"Mission completed. You can obtain a mysterious bloodline!”
Jiang Chen checked the special mission issued by the system when he heard the system's notification. He had already reached 25% of the current progress. The mission would be completed once he had sent the money.
Jiang Chen was also looking forward to this mysterious bloodline reward.
……
After returning home, the three of them began to prepare their equipment.
However, there was one thing that made Fatty feel a little strange.
Jiang Chen had prepared many small mud balls made of realgar powder, high-alcohol, quicklime, sulfur, and plant ash.
When Fatty had asked Jiang Chen what these things were for, Jiang Chen had only told him that they were used to expel snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Fatty didn't think too much about it.
However, when Jiang Chen came back from his trip and took out the latest submachine gun and grenades and placed them in front of him, Fatty was not calm at all.
Where did Jiang Chen get these things?
Jiang Chen only said a simple sentence. Who didn't have a friend?
......
Three days later, on the train to the Western Regions.
Jiang Chen put the Great Xia Dragonfinch next to his hand. It was wrapped tightly with cloth.
Since Professor Chen and the archeologists had vouched for them, they didn't go through the security check.
However, he couldn't just swagger around and put the things out in the open.
Even the weapons Jiang Chen had given them, Old Hu and Fatty had to wear three layers of clothes inside and three layers of clothes outside. They put them into their backpacks and carried them on their backs.
Besides, Jiang Chen had also prepared a lot of water and food, which he put in the system space in case of emergency.
As for the sand-proof masks that the desert needed, the archeological team did not need to prepare them.
It could be said that Jiang Chen, Old Hu, and Fatty had made ample preparations for this trip to the Western Regions.
"Guide Jiang, please come over."
Professor Hao greeted Jiang Chen politely.
Ever since they parted that day.
For some reason, Professor Hao admired Jiang Chen.
"He's here."
" Okay," Jiang Chen said. He called Old Hu and followed Professor Hao to the train's compartment.
Fatty stayed behind to look after the luggage and equipment.
When he walked into the room, he saw Shirley Yang and Professor Chen looking at a map. They seemed to be planning the route.
Seeing Jiang Chen and the others walk in, Xue Liyang stood up." Guide Jiang, I've called you here for something.”
"I just discussed with Professor Chen. We're going to the Kunlun Glacier to get something. What do you think?”
"Pa!"
As soon as Xue Li Yang finished speaking, Old Hu stepped forward and placed his hands on the table. He glared at Xue Li Yang angrily," Why didn't you say that you were going to Kunlun Glacier earlier?!!!”
"Old Hu, sit down first. Don't be agitated.”
Jiang Chen patted Old Hu's shoulder and comforted him. Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up for Old Hu.
Old Hu, who was smoking, seemed to have calmed down, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed him.
Obviously, Old Hu was not as calm as he looked on the surface.
"Comrade Hu, did we offend you in any way?”
Although Professor Chen was shocked by Old Hu, he still asked gently.
Why did Old Hu, who looked calm and composed, suddenly become angry?
"Old Hu, actually, I feel that after so many years, it's time for you to move on.”
Jiang Chen lit a cigarette with Old Hu and said.
"You can't go to the Kunlun Glacier."
Although Old Hu's tone was calm, if one listened carefully, one could detect a trace of hidden fear.
"Comrade Hu, why can't we go to Kunlun Glacier?”
Professor Chen was still as kind as ever. He could hear the fear hidden in Old Hu's words.
Therefore, Professor Chen's tone sounded like he was comforting a frightened child.
"I've been to the Kunlun Glacier."
"I was a soldier there back then."
"That's definitely not a place that people should go.”
"Because there is a type of insect that emits blue light.”
"As long as you touch it, you will be burned to ashes in an instant. Not even your bones will be left!”
"Back then, five of my comrades were burned to death in front of me! I really can't go to that place."
Old Hu's tone was very low as he recalled his fallen comrades.
