After climbing up from the shaft, the three returned to the central hall of the mausoleum.

The huge bronze tripod was still placed aside, without any changes.

The current mausoleum of Empress Dowager Xiao, except for the gloomy atmosphere, no ghosts were inside.

After the floor tiles were covered again, Shen Hao moved the bronze tripod back to its original position and placed it in the center of the hall.

Then the few people returned to the front hall and walked out.

Shen Hao led Hu Bayi and Fatty across the sacred road, through the archway, out of the cave, and back to the waterfall.

The turbulent waterfall rushed down from the top of Niuxin Mountain, and the sound of water splashing into the pool covered all the surrounding sounds.

This waterfall completely covered the entrance of the cave. If you don’t come very close to the waterfall, you can’t find it at all.

At this time, the sky was getting dark and the sun began to set.

The three returned to Ganggangyingzi along the way they came.

When passing by the archaeological team’s station, they looked at it from a distance and didn’t get close.

The archaeological team was still busy at the base.

Hundreds of people were cleaning the dirt in the caves and pits.

When they returned to the village, it was already dark, and the afterglow of the sun dyed the sunset glow in the sky red.

The three returned to Yan Zi's house.

Yan Zi came over and asked, "What did you think of Niuxin Mountain?"

"It was just like that. The archaeological team was very busy, and we didn't get close. We just looked at it from a distance, and then walked around and came back."

"Oh, the ancient tomb in Niuxin Mountain has been taken by the archaeological team. You can't see anything if you go there. The real good things have been taken away by the archaeological team. You can't even imagine it." Yan Zi's father walked over and said while smoking a dry pipe.

"Yes, uncle, you are right. There is nothing good to see in that place. I just walked around Niuxin Mountain and came back."

In the evening, Yan Zi prepared a sumptuous dinner for Shen Hao and the other two.

Father Yan drank a few glasses of wine happily.

"Oh, this is all thanks to you. Our village is lucky this time. There are so many supplies in the underground fortress, enough for our village to use for a long time."

"You young people are all great!"

Father Yan gave a thumbs up to Shen Hao and the other two.

"Haha, uncle, you are too kind. Xiaopang and I were still grateful for your care back then. Now that we have the opportunity, we must also report back to the village, right?" Hu Bayi said.

"Besides, there are so many things in the fortress, it's useless for us to take them, not to mention that there are so many things that the three of us can't take them away. It just so happens that they are all things that the villagers in the village can use. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't take them?"

"Yes, yes, uncle, you don't have to be so polite to us." Fatty also said.

Shen Hao also said: "Uncle, Lao Hu and Fatty are grateful people. They left and haven't come back for more than ten years. They are also worried about the villagers. Before coming, they told me that they would build a road for the village after finding the ancient tomb in the mountains and making money."

Yanzi's father's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took another puff of cigarette.

"Really? That's great, good young man, it's not in vain that I love you. The mountain road out of our village is really too difficult to walk. Even donkey carts are difficult to walk, let alone cars. Cars can't get in at all!"

"You are thoughtful, I thank you on behalf of everyone."

"Come on, let's toast a few glasses. There's nothing to say, it's all in the wine!"

Several people raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank them all in one gulp.

"Hiss~Ha~"

"Come on, come on, eat the food. If you don't eat now, it will get cold. Eat up now, don't be polite!" Swallow's father called out to Shen Hao and the other two.

After the three of them had enough food and drink, they went back to the house and had a good sleep.

The next morning, the three of them packed up and prepared to leave.

Upon hearing the news, Swallow's father hurriedly called everyone in the village to see them off.

The old branch secretary, who was over 80 years old, was leaning on a cane and personally led the way to see them off. There were also the accountant, Swallow's father, Swallow, Yingzi and others, as well as all the women, elderly and children at home in the village.

The old branch secretary specially sent a horse-drawn carriage to take Shen Hao and the other two to the town outside the mountain.

"Xiao Shen, Xiao Hu, Xiao Wang, the villagers all remember your help. Remember to come back often in the future~" the old branch secretary said to the three.

"Yes, come back more often."

"Well, we got it. We will come back after a while. After the expiration, we will pay for the village to repair the road a little bit. Then we will drive the rickshaw over and bring more good things back to the villagers." Hu Bayi nodded.

The old branch secretary led everyone forward for a few more miles before being persuaded by Shen Hao and the other two.Stopped.

Watched the three people leave.

The three people said goodbye to the villagers who had seen them off all the way and set off on the return journey.

After a day and a night of mountain roads, the three people finally got out of the mountain and came to the town.

"Brother, let's say goodbye here. You take a rest in the town. We will take a taxi to the train station first." Shen Hao said to the middle-aged man who drove the carriage to send them.

"Hey, you should be careful on the road." The man said.

"Well, you should be careful on the way back." Shen Hao replied.

The three people said goodbye to the middle-aged man.

They found a small restaurant in the town and had a simple meal.

After a short rest, they hired a tractor.

There are not many cars in this remote town near the mountains.

Even long-distance buses don't come here. If you want to go out, you can only take a tractor to the county town, and then go to the nearest big city to have a train station.

The three people took the tractor for another day and arrived at the station.

Bought three sleeper tickets and prepared to return to Beijing.

After two or three days of bumpy ride on the road, Hu Bayi and Fatty were already very tired.

Now that conditions allow, of course we have to buy the most comfortable sleeper tickets.

After all, it takes two days and two nights for the train to get from here to Beijing.

The speed of the current train is only a few dozen yards, which is extremely slow.

It's nothing like thirty years later, when all are high-speed trains, with a speed of three or four hundred kilometers per hour, which is incomparable.

After sleeping on the train for two days and two nights, the three finally arrived at Beijing Station.

"Oh, we finally arrived at the station. These two days and two nights, sleeping in the sleeper made me, Fatty, sore and sore. It's too painful." Fatty stretched and twisted his body and said.

"Fatty, just be content. If it weren't for Mr. Shen sponsoring us this time, we would have to buy hard seats, which would be real torture!" Hu Bayi said to Fatty.

"Yes, but I finally gained a lot from this trip, it was not a wasted trip!" The fat man nodded.

After leaving the station, the three of them called a taxi and soon returned to Qinyuanzhai in Panjiayuan.
