Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Don't look at the kid as greedy for money, he is really particular about doing things. An Anshengsheng led a group of people to the village hotel. He called out "Mom" as soon as he entered the door. Looking at the shrewd-looking proprietress who came out of the yard, Wu Xie turned his head and smiled secretly, at least leaving some face for Wu Sansheng, his cheap uncle.

After checking in, Wu Sansheng, the old fox, of course went to ask the landlady for some information. The landlady was also well-informed. She had heard Wu Sansheng and his friends say that they were here to travel, and now she heard them asking if anything interesting had happened there. She knew that this group of people were also here for the tomb that was said to be at the back.

"Hey, don't beat around the bush. I heard that a tripod was washed out of the mountain behind us by heavy rain, and the government sent people to check it out, but they left. There are many people like you who say they are here to travel. You can find out by asking around."

Wu Sansheng was embarrassed for a moment, and asked the proprietress if she knew anyone who could lead the way into the mountains. The proprietress directly recommended the boatman in the village: "Old Li in our village has never married or had children in his life. He makes a living by transporting people and goods on a boat. The archaeological team was led by Old Li into the mountains. You can just go and find him."

The fat man sighed casually: "It seems that Old Li's business is quite good. There are so many people coming and going in this village who need it."

The lady boss burst out laughing, "Oh, you must have been cheated by Old Li!"

"We have built a highway here, so we no longer use the waterway. Only sometimes we have to take the waterway to go to the county town, or those who specialize in taking care of Old Li's business are willing to take the waterway!"

After so much trouble, it was almost dark. Wu Xie got his wallet back. Although his cell phone was still with Wu Sansheng, it did not stop him from secretly borrowing the phone from the proprietress to report his safety to Huo Xiangu and his grandmother Wu. Wu Xie knew that he was no match for Wu Sansheng and his gang, so he was too lazy to make any more trouble. Anyway, he just remembered this experience and went back to ask his grandmother for advice.

Fatty was the one Wu Sansheng left behind to look after Wu Xie. When Wu Xie finished his phone call, he turned around and saw Fatty with a bit of embarrassment on his face. He took the initiative to suggest, "Let's go out for a walk?"

The fat man nodded hurriedly, and when there was no one around, he couldn't help complaining: "What on earth are you doing in the Wu family? Your uncle spent a lot of money to invite me from the capital to escort you, the young master!"

Wu Xie smiled and said, "You will be disappointed. I heard that you have a legitimate store in Panjiayuan. Don't get too involved with someone like my Third Uncle. He was only released two years ago. Who knows if someone in the government is watching him and wants to investigate more things."

"And I'm not some Third Uncle. My grandmother and Third Uncle's mother are not the same person. I grew up in the capital with my grandmother. My parents have been working on some national projects in the past few years. They were sent abroad in the past two years. We will never touch those so-called ancestral businesses."

Fatty felt relieved when he heard Wu Xie tell him everything. He also felt that Wu Sanxing was not doing things in a fair way. He knew that Wu Sanxing had better and more honest businesses that could make him rich, so why did he involve such a good university graduate in this underground business?

Fatty also told Wu Xie some truths: "I have a distant cousin whose family was originally in the army, but my uncle died early. After returning to the city as an educated youth, my uncle resold tapes in the capital. Later, he was led by his childhood friend to take risks and even went to America."

"They were soon recruited by the country, learned some skills and did some things, and later went to live in America after making some money. I was not good at studying, so I asked my cousin for the records of their farming. In the past few years, I have opened a shop in Panjiayuan, which is considered a small achievement."

What Fatty said was all true, but he didn't mention the names of his uncle and his uncle's childhood friend. Wu Xie knew what Fatty meant. The more he listened, the more he felt that what Fatty said sounded like the deeds of the three final tomb raiders. He immediately asked tentatively, "Your uncle is not also called Fatty, and his childhood friend fell in love with a Chinese American and married her, right?"

The fat man took a deep breath, "Master San! Didn't you say you were involved in the Wu family's underground business?!"

His cousin and his people were active more than 20 years ago. Now his cousin's fast food restaurant is about to open back to the mainland. How come Wu Xie, a young man in his twenties, knows so much about what happened more than 20 years ago!

Wu Xie smiled innocently and a little cunningly, "You forgot that my grandmother took me to the capital to be educated when I was young. It is true that my grandmother's family got rid of the underground business early on, but her seniority in the industry is quite high. More than 20 years ago, there were always people willing to give her face."

The fat man cursed directly: "I hate you rich dogs the most!"

Wu Xie didn't care. He even knew that even though the last three tomb-raiding lieutenants went underground to seek wealth at first, they later did it to save their lives. They were different from his third uncle Wu Sanxing who was so stubborn and insisted on seeking immortality.

Wu Xie smiled and said, "I don't know what your cousin's records you saw were like. My grandfather did leave behind a book called "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", which also recorded abnormal creatures such as corpse-eating bugs and blood corpses, but I always read them as stories. Adventure stories like your cousin's are more fascinating. I've heard my grandmother tell them many times."

The fat man was even more upset, because he looked too much like his cousin, so his cousin was willing to give him his network of contacts so as to help him. And he thought he was quite capable, after all, he now owned a big shop and had goods worth millions.

But all this is nothing compared to Wu Xie. His cousin's real adventure experience is just a story in his eyes. In fact, he just regards it as a story and is not moved at all.

When he read his cousin's story, he wanted to walk the same path they had walked. Are the spiritual awareness of today's young people so high?

Before dinner, Wu Sansheng had found the person who led the way into the mountains. It turned out to be the other person who had teamed up with the dead boatman to kill and rob.

Although Fatty stood on Wu Xie's side emotionally, Wu Sanxing still held his final payment, so Fatty told him everything in detail when reporting. At the end, he advised Wu Sanxing: "Master San, working in the fields is always extremely dangerous. Your eldest nephew has a serious career to pursue. Since you don't consider getting married and having children, you can't harm the only child of your Wu family."

Wu Sansheng felt that he had never been so speechless as he was today. He was impressed by Fatty's connections that were different from those of the Wu family and Fatty's own shrewdness and resourcefulness. He had cooperated with Fatty many times and felt that he could be trusted. However, he did not expect that his eldest nephew Wu Xie was really evil. They were even willing to live and die together, but he still subdued him!
