Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Anyway, Wu Xie calmed down, and early the next morning, he went into the mountains with Wu Sanxing and a group of people, led by Old Li, who almost killed and robbed them in the Water Cave.

Wu Xie really didn't understand why his uncle wouldn't let him go, so he asked him directly during the break. However, it was impossible for Wu Sanxing to tell Wu Xie the truth, so when he was pressed, he tried to evade Wu Xie by talking about the Wang family's past.

As Wu Xie listened to Wu Sansheng's various hints, he felt his heart grow colder and colder. He also understood more and more why his grandmother was unwilling to let him go back to Hangzhou to interact with other members of the Wu family. Even his parents missed him and sent him directly to their construction site and refused to let them go back to Hangzhou.

Moreover, in the past twenty years, his parents had only been reunited as a family for a brief time at his grandfather's funeral.

Wu Xie is young after all, and he cannot completely conceal what he is thinking. The more bitter the expression on his face becomes, the more bitter it becomes. Wu Sansheng quickly shut up, but he cannot express the mysterious feeling. He always feels that he and Wu Xie have a very close relationship, but on the other hand, he cannot help but pull Wu Xie into his plans.

After walking for a whole morning and taking a break at noon, Old Li refused to move forward no matter what. Even when Wu Sanxing threatened him with the fact that he and the previous boatman had colluded to commit murder for money, it was useless. Old Li even threatened Wu Sanxing to kill him.

Wu Sansheng had no choice but to pull Old Li aside for careful questioning. He finally found out that when Old Li was serving as a guide into the mountains, he accidentally entered the territory ahead. As a result, they encountered a monster that could drag people underground, killing more than a dozen people. Old Li was too timid and had been hiding at the back. He only saved his life when he realized something was wrong and ran away.

Wu Sansheng looked ruthless. Although he believed what Old Li said, it was also a fact that Old Li had harmed them, so he never thought of letting Old Li go down the mountain alive.

But seeing Wu Xie and Fatty chatting not far away and peeking over here, he had no choice but to order Da Kui to tie Old Li to a tree, saying that they would release him when they return, but in fact he was planning to let Old Li fend for himself.

Old Li understood the dangers of the mountain better than Wu Sanxing and other outsiders. He begged Wu Sanxing to let him go at the top of his lungs, which naturally alarmed Wu Xie.

It would have been fine if Wu Xie was brought out to see the world by Wu Sanxing, but Wu Xie was forced to come here, so Wu Xie insisted on releasing Old Li, and Wu Sanxing had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

Wu Xie had no plans to do anything through Old Li, because he had already realized how ruthless his uncle was, and for the time being he did not dare to cause trouble for Old Li, so he behaved much more honestly along the way, which made Fatty secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fatty was afraid that Wu Xie would get angry and confront Wu Sansheng. Although Wu Sansheng had been operating a sewing machine for many years, he was still a figure that ordinary people could hardly reach in the underworld. In particular, he discovered that Wu Sansheng did not care about his adopted nephew Wu Xie as much as he said. He was very concerned about Wu Xie, the new friend he had just met. He was honest, kind, knew his limits, and could read people's expressions.

After walking for a while in the direction pointed by Old Li, they saw a formal camp with several large tents. After secretly observing the camp, they found that there was no one there, so the group quietly walked over.

Pan Zi had been to the battlefield before, and he became suspicious when he saw more than one sign of dragging. "Third Master, please look here——"

Wu Sansheng looked over and saw several drag marks on the ground. His face suddenly became serious, but he was worried about the owner of the camp and their purpose. If the two groups collided, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The fat man followed and saw the traces of dragging on the ground. He immediately exclaimed: "Is there really a monster here that drags people to the ground?"

It turned out that the fat man had heard what Old Li said before, but he also thought it was a mechanism left by a predecessor and did not believe in the story of man-eating monsters. But now it seems that things are really hard to predict.

Several people searched the camp and found a lot of special compressed biscuits, tools, and other things, as well as several barrels of gasoline and communication equipment.

Wu Sansheng felt that this time he had gone out with nothing going right. "We have to speed up. Someone has already gone in here, and it looks like they are foreigners!"

Wu Xie took a deep breath and carefully looked at the expression on Wu Sansheng's face. He found that in addition to pure anger, he also had a hidden murderous intent. He immediately felt relieved. At least his third uncle had no intention of colluding with foreigners to harm the country. He was reluctantly willing to cooperate with his third uncle's actions.

Pan Zi suggested solemnly that they go down quickly, otherwise it would be bad if those foreigners got there first.

Da Kui was no longer afraid of ghosts and was even eager to go down. Fatty took advantage of this opportunity to show off his skills. He had already found the most suitable place to dig a hole. He put his hands on his hips and called Pan Zi and Da Kui to work over. "How about it, Fatty, besides my physical skills, I am also good at this brain work, right?"

Pan Zi smiled and looked at Wu Sansheng's face. When he saw Wu Sansheng nodded with appreciation, he walked towards the fat man, "Fat Master is really good!"

Fatty easily gets carried away, especially since Pan Zi had a great figure and loyalty to Wu Sanxing, which he envied very much, so he immediately began his own performance: "I said that you Southerners are not meticulous in your work. When you go underground, you want to dig three feet deep and take away everything. When you go out, you often destroy or blow up the tombs. You are not as meticulous as us Northerners!"

Wu Xie squatted there and watched Pan Zi and Da Kui start to dig the soil. After listening to Fatty's slander, he was speechless. "What are the southern and northern factions? Aren't they all feudal remnants who are trying to dig into the country's walls? You still have to divide yourselves into high and low. This is really weird."

Wu Sansheng slapped him, "What are you talking about in a place like this?!"

Wu Xie felt pain, but his mind became clearer. Even though he could not call the police this time, he would definitely not continue to participate in Wu Sansheng's plan.

Fatty was amused by Wu Xie. "This profession of tomb raiders can be said to have been around since the beginning of tombs. Even if I don't have to whitewash this profession, from the perspective of recycling resources, this is a good thing after all. Comrade, you're still a college student, can't you understand this?"

For this sophistry, Pan Zi gave the fat man a thumbs up.

Wu Xie was also amused by Fatty, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"The country has said that all land and resources will be nationalized. We citizens only have the right to use them, not the ownership. The land you stand on and the mausoleum you care about are all assets of the country. Even if the resources are recycled, the relevant departments will develop and utilize them. No one else needs to worry about it."

Fatty was speechless and looked at Wu Sansheng, who stretched out his hand to slap Wu Xie again, but Wu Xie dodged it easily. He even said provocatively: "Don't worry, Uncle San, I know you are definitely not here for the treasures in the tomb this time. It is probably just a show for me. As long as you destroy the things down there, I won't say anything."
