Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Zhang Haike led the team successfully to Shanxi and entered the ancient tomb according to the map in hand.

When they climbed out of the tunnel and entered the tomb, they naively thought that they would find many valuable treasures inside.

But in this world, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

They opened and searched every chamber in the tomb that might have stored burial objects, but they didn't find anything worth taking away.

Finally, they could only turn their attention to the coffin located in the center of the tomb.

Relying on the skills they learned from the Zhang family since childhood, they worked together and opened the coffin effortlessly.

They thought that based on the specifications of this tomb, they would see countless gold, silver and jewelry after opening the coffin.

But when the coffin was opened, all that appeared was a pile of bones, without even a decent piece of clothing on top of the bones.

The reason they said this was that they did not see any traces of rotten silk or cloth nearby.

The tomb owner did not even have a decent piece of clothing on his body, let alone any valuable burial objects.

"This...isn't it said that this is an oil bucket? We have come here through mountains and rivers, but we didn't even see a piece of burial silk?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Haike who also had a confused look on his face. It was obvious that he had not expected this result.

"The person who sold me the map told me that this is an oil bucket! And looking at the specifications of the tomb, it doesn't look like it's that poor!"

Faced with all this, Zhang Haike began to feel deep self-doubt.

Reluctantly, the crowd searched the tomb once more, and only after making sure that there was nothing valuable did they crawl out of the tomb in frustration.

"What now? Where do we go next?"

Zhang Haike looked around at the dense forest and felt confused. He didn't know what to do.

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling stood quietly in the distance, watching them struggle, neither interrupting nor planning to intervene.

Finally, after discussion, Zhang Haike and his group decided to go to the place where there was a big tomb. If they were lucky, they might be able to get some valuable antiques.

[Host, if Zhang Haike asks you two if you want to go together, don't agree and just turn around and leave.]

why?

[In order to get rid of Zhang Haike's companions, don't worry, even if you turn around and leave, he will abandon his companions and follow you without hesitation. ]

Why are you so confident?

[This is the original plot setting, he can't get rid of it. ]

Okay, then let's do as you say.

Zhang Hanyan approached Zhang Qiling and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Brother, we will go on our own later and not be with them."

Although Zhang Qiling didn't understand why he did this, he nodded out of unconditional trust in her.

As soon as they finished their discussion, Zhang Haike walked towards them.

"We are planning to go to Xi'an and Luoyang where there are big tombs. You should stay with us. You are too young and it will be dangerous if you go alone."

Zhang Qiling looked up and glanced at him indifferently without saying anything, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Zhang Hanyan followed closely behind him, with no intention of staying and continuing to walk with them.

"Boss, what do they mean? Are they not going with us?"

Zhang Haike looked at the two thin and short figures, who were almost submerged by the tall bushes.

He hesitated for a moment and made a decision that he would be proud of and would never regret for the rest of his life.

"You two can go on your own. I'm worried about them, so I decided to accompany them. If you find something good, go back early. Don't hang around outside. Let's go!"

He waved to his companions, and despite their dissuasion, he strode to catch up with Zhang Qiling and Zhang Hanyan who had already walked far away.

"Hey! Wait a minute, you two! I'm with you!"

Zhang Hanyan turned around to look at Zhang Haike who had caught up with her, and repeatedly recalled the original plot in her mind to confirm the specific developments that would follow.

[Host, next, it will be up to you to lead Zhang Haike to the ancient city of Sizhou to follow the plot. I will be performing the first system upgrade soon and will be offline for a while. Take care, host.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, Zhang Hanyan immediately felt as if something had disconnected her.

She had tried calling the system, but as always, there was no response.

When the sun set in the west, the three of them walked out of the dense forest and found a temporary shelter built by nearby villagers on the edge of the forest to rest.

Zhang Haike picked up firewood, lit it skillfully, and took out the cold steamed buns from his bag and strung them on tree branches to roast.

"Have you decided where to go next? My idea is to go to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas and look for some shallowly buried small buckets and try our luck.

Although there are many chances to come across valuable things in places like Luoyang, there are also many tomb robbers. Moreover, those old veterans are ruthless and kill people without blinking. If we encounter them, we will take a great risk.

So I thought we should just try our luck in Jiangsu and Zhejiang where there are fewer tomb robbers. We just left Zhang's house and we still have plenty of time. What do you think?"

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling who were also roasting steamed buns.

Zhang Hanyan looked at the golden and crispy steamed buns skewered on the tree branch, picked up the branch, and moved the buns away from the flames.

"I think it's ok. Let's do as you say. If it doesn't work out in the end, we can go to Luoyang and have a look."

The purpose of her saying this was simply to make Zhang Haike travel to more places. When he couldn't find any valuable antiques after traveling through most of China, he would naturally follow them to the ancient city of Sizhou.

After all, there are countless priceless treasures in the sarcophagus outside the ancient city of Sizhou.

When Zhang Haike saw that they agreed, he felt that his suggestion was recognized and immediately put on a smiling face.

"Okay, then it's settled. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

Zhang Hanyan nodded, touched the steamed bun which was at the right temperature, took it off the branch, and handed it to Zhang Qiling.

"Little brother, you eat first."

As she spoke, she took the branch from Zhang Qiling's hand and continued to roast it over the flames.

Zhang Qiling cut the steamed bun into two, ate half himself and gave the other half to Zhang Hanyan.

"Together."

Zhang Haike sat opposite them, silently watching the two of them trying to be polite to each other for a steamed bun. He looked at the steamed bun in his hand and expressed his incomprehension.

Each person has a steamed bun, just eat your own, why are you trying to pass it around?

Under Zhang Haike's puzzled gaze, Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling each finished their steamed buns and leaned against the tree trunk behind them to take a rest.
