Li Rui said, "Come, don't just stand in the yard. Come in and sit. I'll get you a cup of water. Why are you here again? Aren't you taking an afternoon nap? "Li Feiyan said," I'll wash your clothes for you. " Li Rui was extremely grateful. He sighed and said, "Don't be like this. I haven't done anything for your family yet. You've already cooked for me and helped me wash my clothes. I … I can't afford it." Li Feiyan smiled shyly and said, "I'm idle at home. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Besides, my man already told me. Take off your clothes, I'll wash them for you."
Li Rui couldn't refuse Li Feiyan's kindness. He took off his dirty clothes except for his underwear and she took them outside to wash them. He changed into a clean set of clothes and walked to the yard to watch her wash. His gaze swept past her back. There was once again a snow-white waist and a deep ravine. He could also see the corner of a red underwear. His heart was beating wildly and he quickly averted his gaze.
In the afternoon, the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics and the archaeological team rushed to the village after receiving the request for help. They officially began the protective excavation of the ancient tomb on Xiaoling Mountain. Li Rui didn't have anything to do for the time being, so he followed them to Xiaoling Mountain to observe the excavation. At this time, Li Feiyan had already finished washing her clothes. She also followed them to the mountain to join in the fun.
The news of the ancient tomb on Xiaoling Mountain was like a gust of wind. It spread throughout the entire Little Dragon King Village. It even spread to the neighboring villages and Dragon King Temple Township. Many people heard that the ancient tomb was being excavated and came to watch the fun. Thus, the foot of Xiaoling Mountain became a temporary parking lot. Bicycles, electric scooters, motorcycles and all kinds of cars were parked everywhere. As for the mountainside, the area near the ancient tomb was already filled with all kinds of idlers and workers. There were probably more than a thousand people.
An expert was an expert. The vice-captain of the archaeological team casually looked at some of the funerary objects unearthed from the tomb and determined that it was an ancient tomb from the Han Dynasty. The owner of the tomb was probably a member of the imperial family. Soon, two well-preserved side chambers were found on the left and right sides of the main tomb. The amount of funerary objects inside was enough to make people smack their lips.
At this point, the scale of the ancient tomb had exceeded the vice-captain's expectations. He reported to the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, who was in charge of the field, that this ancient tomb should have been left behind by the Han Dynasty imperial family. Judging from the quantity and quality of the funerary objects, it was second only to the world-famous Han Dynasty tomb found in 1968 in Mancheng, Hebei Province. Therefore, they had to be cautious, prudent, and meticulous in their excavation work. At present, the preparation work was slightly insufficient. It would take one or two more days of preparation before it could be fully explored.
Of course, the deputy director agreed with the expert's opinion. Therefore, the excavation work for the day came to an end. They would wait for the archaeological team to be fully prepared before continuing the excavation. Hundreds of square meters around the entrance of the tomb were cordoned off. Unauthorized personnel were not allowed to enter or leave. The entrance to the tomb was also sealed. Before the official excavation work began, no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.
Li Rui met Hu Liquan at the scene. He had already gone to Li Wenhua's clinic to bandage the wound on the back of his head. He was fine for the time being. When the two of them heard that there was an anteroom in the tomb, and that there were even more funerary objects in the anteroom, they were shocked.
Hu Liquan regretted it and said in a low voice, "F * ck, we have suffered a huge loss." Li Rui smiled and said, "A person must be content with what they have."
Hu Liquan thought about it and felt that it made sense. No matter how many treasures they obtained, no matter how much money they earned, they still needed to be alive to spend it. Not to mention that they might be arrested by the Public Security Bureau, they might also be coveted by the escaped grave robbers. What if they did not give up and were still wandering around? When they heard that he had suddenly become rich, they would definitely think that he was one of them and would take revenge on him. A person should be content with what they have. Anyway, that gold dragon could be sold for millions. They would not have to worry about money for the rest of their lives. Why would they let their imaginations run wild?
The news of the Han Dynasty ancient tomb and numerous funerary objects being discovered in Xiaolongwang Village of Dragon King Temple in Hanshui County was not only spread throughout Hanshui County, but it was also sold to the newspapers of Qingyang City. All the major newspapers of Qingyang City heard the news and sent their reporters to the front line to conduct on-site interviews. The city's television station also knew about the situation but they were even more ruthless. They relied on their status as the leader of the city's radio and television media to directly send a news interview and production team. They planned to broadcast it live on the city's news channel the moment the excavation of the ancient tomb officially began, so as to gain viewership.
For a moment, the small mountain village that was usually unknown had all kinds of media gathered there. The momentum was so great that it was no less than a large earthquake. Xiaoling Mountain that did not have a place on the map of China, even the map of Shannan Province and Qingyang City, suddenly became the favorite of the media. Perhaps there was no such glory in history.
Looking at the crowd that came from the top and bottom of the mountain after hearing the news, the deputy director of the city's cultural relics bureau said to County Magistrate Chen emotionally, "If you can confirm that the tomb owner is a famous figure in history, you can develop this ancient tomb commercially and package Xiaoling Mountain into a tourist attraction. For example, develop the ancient tomb into a scenic spot and build a cultural relics exhibition hall on the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain to display some funerary objects that were excavated from the tomb. I believe that it will be very popular."
When County Head Chen saw the swarm of reporters, he had already keenly captured this business opportunity. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That makes sense. That's exactly what I'm planning to do. I hope that the tomb owner will give us a surprise. "
Li Rui and Hu Liquan watched the commotion for a while and went down the mountain together. Li Feiyan followed behind them from afar.
Hu Liquan pulled Li Rui to the entrance of his courtyard and said in a low voice, "Director Li, can you find me a buyer now?" Li Rui was shocked when he heard that. He looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around. He scolded in a low voice, "Are you crazy? We're in the limelight now and you still want to sell that gold … Once the news spreads, even I can't save you. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in such a hurry to use money? How much do you need? I'll lend it to you first. "Hu Liquan laughed embarrassedly and said," I'm not in a hurry to use money. I'm not in a hurry. "Li Rui said," If you're not in a hurry, why do you want me to find a buyer? "Hu Liquan said embarrassedly," I just want to know how much that thing can be sold for. "
Li Rui said, "Don't ask about it. Even if it can be sold for ten million, you can't sell it now. At least wait until the matter of the ancient tomb calms down and no one pays attention to it before you secretly sell it. Moreover, even after you sell it, you can't immediately show off your wealth. You have to wait until your scorpion breeding business is established before you slowly spend money to buy electrical appliances. " Hu Liquan said, "I want to buy a house in the city. Hehe, I don't want to be poor in the mountains." Li Rui said, "I don't care if you buy a house in the city. But I want to remind you that now is not the best time to sell it." Hu Liquan's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "That's right. Why haven't I thought of buying a house in the city? I might as well do it in one step and save my children from being poor. Buying a house in the city can also solve the problem of the city's household registration, right? "
Li Rui nodded and praised, "That's a good idea. You're thinking for your children and grandchildren. You're very far-sighted. Brother Hu, after you were smashed by those tomb robbers, your brain has become much clearer." Hu Liquan giggled and said, "Is the price of a house in the city expensive? Can I afford it? "Li Rui calculated and said," Absolutely no problem. That treasure of yours can be sold for at least a million. It could be a few million at most. After you buy a house, you can also buy a car and do some small business. That's absolutely no problem. But I still want to say that don't be in a hurry to show off your wealth. Otherwise, you will be arrested. Right now, the police in your county already know that you appeared at the scene of the tomb robbers. According to County Head Chen, he wants to give you and me a certificate of bravery and protection of national property. There will also be a reward … If you suddenly become rich, there will definitely be people who will suspect that after you beat the tomb robbers, you took some of the burial goods for yourself. "
Hu Liquan listened and nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, then I won't sell it first. I'll wait until this matter is settled. It'll be settled in a month, right? " Li Rui said, "It's hard to say. I suggest that you don't do anything before next year's spring. Wait until your scorpion breeding business starts." Hu Liquan's face was full of reluctance and he sighed.
Li Rui saw this and found it very funny. He could also understand his thoughts. A person who suddenly got lucky and went from a poor family to a millionaire would of course want to buy all the things he wanted at once and return to his hometown in glory. He wanted to show off in front of his fellow villagers, but he was restricted by certain circumstances and couldn't do so. It was like a person who was always bullied and learned a peerless martial art, but was forced to not show it. This torture was naturally unbearable. He comforted him, "Don't worry. You've already suffered so many years. Why would you care about another three to six months?"
Hu Liquan asked with interest, "Director Li, when do you plan to sell those few items of yours?" Li Rui said, "My few items? What do you mean, what few items do I have? "Hu Liquan was stunned and said," It's the three treasures I gave you last night. "Li Rui said," Are you talking nonsense? When did you give me three treasures? I've never seen them before. "Hu Liquan's face changed. He pointed at him and said," You … you forgot? It was last night in the middle of the night … "Li Rui smiled slightly and whispered," Brother Hu, in the future, if you ask me about this matter again, I won't admit it. I suggest that you learn from me. In the future, you can't admit to taking treasures to anyone. " Hu Liquan was stunned and quickly understood. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember. Haha, you're too careful. But this is also good."
