1970, A Bit Sweet

He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.

Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

Chapter 1205 Planning Ahead

1205

After having some snacks, the children ran off to play, while He Tiantian stayed behind to talk to Cui Ying and hear her opinion.

"Cui Ying, do you remember when two groups of tomb raiders came to the back mountain not long after you came to Qijia Village as educated youth?" He Tiantian asked. Cui Ying should know about this; perhaps Cui Ying and Hua Shan had some unspeakable purpose in coming to Qijia Village. He Tiantian had always thought so.

Cui Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I remember. You know we are a cultivation family, and we came here because we sensed something unusual happening in Qi Family Village. Back then, we even had a direct confrontation with tomb raiders, and I even knocked one of them unconscious."

"Well, in that case, besides you, have any other people seen the other tomb raiders?" He Tiantian asked. She knew that the Cui family must have come with a purpose, perhaps like those tomb raiders, to get the things in the tomb. Therefore, He Tiantian did not ask the reason, but focused on the question of the tomb raiders.

Cui Ying thought for a moment and said, "You should know. What's wrong?"

“Back then, Da Niu and I were cutting grass on the mountain when we ran into that group of tomb raiders. Now, Da Niu and I have met someone who looks a bit like one of those people,” He Tiantian replied. “You know, tomb raiders are ruthless and vicious; they almost always have someone on their hands. I’m a little worried about having such a ruthless person in Qijia Village. Besides, I’m curious, why are they here? Have they discovered another large tomb?”

When He Tiantian asked, Cui Ying didn't hide anything. With Huo Yingjie and Xiao Xuangui around, she couldn't hide it from He Tiantian.

“My second uncle established the Divine Dragon Gate here to recruit disciples. As an out-of-world sect of our Free and Unfettered Sect, it serves two purposes: firstly, to select promising talents with spiritual roots; and secondly, because my master uncle sensed that the abundant spiritual energy here is conducive to cultivation. There is also an even more important reason: he did discover that there is indeed a royal tomb on the back mountain of Qijia Village, three kilometers away from Peach Garden.”

He Tiantian was stunned. This place used to be Huo Yingjie's paradise!

It is estimated that those sorcerers also discovered that this place was excellent, so it became the burial site for those kings, nobles and generals.

"You want what's inside?" He Tiantian asked. "That seems illegal."

Cui Ying smiled and said, "Actually, we just want to find things that are beneficial to our cultivation. As for those cultural relics, they are just inanimate objects to us and have no value. But if those tomb raiders find them, even if they can't take everything, they will destroy it. In that case, what they take away will be even more precious, just like what those people did in the tomb before."

"In that case, let's hurry up and excavate!" He Tiantian asked. "You can blend in with the archaeological team, and when you see anything useful, you can use any means to collect it. It's better than those tomb raiders digging holes everywhere and destroying the things inside! Those people have guns, I don't think it's safe."

Cui Ying nodded and said, "Alright, I'll call my second uncle over, and we'll discuss this matter properly."

“Yes, let’s resolve this as soon as possible.” He Tiantian nodded. “If you’re sure it exists, then dig it up quickly. After all, Qijia Village and the back mountain are tourist hotspots with a large flow of people. If those tomb raiders don’t achieve their goals, they will resort to any means necessary, which will inevitably cause harm. If someone dies, it will definitely affect the tourism industry here.”

"I know, Tian Tian, ​​we'll discuss it as soon as possible." Cui Ying nodded, agreeing with He Tian Tian's words.

Cui Ying went to see her uncle Cui Heng and father Cui Yong and told them about He Tiantian's plans.

“In that case, let’s do as He Tiantian says,” Cui Yong said. “I’ve also noticed some strange people wandering around in the mountains lately. I thought they were tourists, but there are no roads in those areas, so tourists usually don’t come here.”

Cui Heng nodded and said, "I've fought with those people from Huashan before. They all had guns and a menacing aura, which means they all have lives on their hands. Since He Tiantian said that the owner of that stationery shop has some issues, I'll go and investigate."

“I’ll go,” Cui Yong said. “You should hurry up and contact the cultural relics bureau of Taoyuan County and ask them to send someone over as soon as possible, lest the officials here have already cleared the mountains and fields of holes before they arrive, and we can only pick up scraps from others.”

"You should focus on your cultivation. These two things aren't difficult," Cui Heng said. "I can handle them easily."

“That works too,” Cui Yong said. “Cui Ying and I are here, so you should go ahead.”

Seeing this, He Tiantian said, "Thank you all for your hard work. If you really want something good, you can get it through your own abilities. I won't say anything."

"Thank you in advance." Cui Yong said with a smile. He Tiantian didn't care about those things, so naturally she wouldn't compete with them. Besides, if they protected He Tiantian well and did as she said, Huo Yingjie would definitely be happy and might even give them some nice things.

"I should thank you all. Please make sure Qijia Village is safe," He Tiantian said. "I don't want anything to happen to anyone."

“We will do our best,” Cui Yongdao said.

As He Tiantian came down from the mountain, she happened to pass by a shop selling stationery and other traditional Chinese stationery. She glanced into the shop.

Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper came out of the shop, he also saw He Tiantian.

However, the shopkeeper at this time was completely different from the one on the mountain. He was amiable and always had a smile on his chubby face.

Little Turtle also glanced at the shopkeeper, squinting her eyes and memorizing it. She would come over that night to investigate; there seemed to be something wrong with this man's eyes.

He appeared friendly on the surface, but his eyes were cold.

Back home, He Tiantian was somewhat uneasy.

He Tiantian said to Wei Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, go and tell the other guards that they must be on high alert and not make any mistakes."

"Yes." Wei Yuanyuan nodded. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"It's still uncertain, but we might have a conclusion by tomorrow," He Tiantian said. "It's still uncertain, so I can't say anything to avoid causing panic."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuanyuan was stunned. Even if it was false, she wanted to know.

"What exactly happened?" Wei Yuanyuan asked. "If you find anything, you can tell us."

He Tiantian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let me tell you..."

He Tiantian told Wei Yuanyuan what had happened, and Wei Yuanyuan was stunned.

“If they are tomb raiders, then we do need to be even more careful,” Wei Yuanyuan said. “I will make the arrangements to ensure the safety of the leaders.”

Sure enough, after Wei Yuanyuan told the other guards, their eyes became like they had tiny light bulbs, staring intently at everyone passing by the courtyard.
