These things are very representative!

He Jingyu looked at it and said in a deep voice, "This is a Luoyang shovel, which can be used for both archaeology and tomb raiding. These detonators are generally used to blow up stone doors in tombs, etc."

"My God, they really are tomb raiders!" Qi Dazhu exclaimed. "But where are the others?"

"Logically speaking, they should have arrived near our Peach Garden by now, but we haven't seen anyone. Could it be that they've already entered the tomb through the tomb robber's tunnel?" Qi Shuming asked curiously. It rained last night, so they weren't in the cave. The only possibility is that they entered the tomb through the tomb robber's tunnel.

“But rainy days are a major taboo for their line of work!” He Jingyu said. “Since it’s not in here, let’s look around and check the tomb-raiding tunnel.”

The group did not touch anything in the cave, leaving it for inspection by people from the county.

He Jingyu, Secretary Qi, and the others continued their search, following the footprints.

Especially near the tomb robber's hole, there were no footprints at all.

“They didn’t go into the tomb,” He Jingyu said. “Look, there are no footprints. Their footprints led to the place we saw earlier.”

Secretary Qi scratched his head and said, "These people are really cunning; we can't find them."

He Tiantian knew in her heart that all those people had been killed by the Snake King.

The images of those people's deaths still occasionally flash through He Tiantian's mind; they are disgusting and terrifying.

However, He Tiantian knew that those people were vicious and had guns. They must have wanted to kill the Snake King while he was injured and unable to move.

It's understandable that the Snake King killed so many people to protect himself.

Everyone looks out for themselves!

The Snake King will absolutely not let those people succeed.

Seeing her daughter's pale face, Wang Shuping assumed she was sick because of the cold night.

"Sweetie, sit down for a while, I'll make some ginger soup," Wang Shuping said, ladling out the rice porridge from the pot and starting to make the ginger soup.

It contains no sugar; it's pure ginger soup.

Although it's very spicy, it makes you feel warm all over after drinking it.

He Tiantian drank a full bowl of water, which warmed her up and made her feel much more comfortable.

"Don't bother looking anymore, those people are probably long gone. You guys come over and have some ginger soup. Sleeping on the floor all night, aren't you afraid of developing health problems?" Wang Shuping shouted. These men, none of them care about their own health.

Knowing he couldn't find any useful clues, He Jingyu quickly noticed that his arm was a little sore and he felt tired.

"Let's go have some ginger soup," He Jingyu said. "We were all chilled yesterday, so we can't be careless."

Secretary Qi is older than He Jingyu, and his health is even less able to withstand it.

The group went to the kitchen, and each person drank two large bowls of ginger soup. They sweated, their bodies warmed up, and they felt more comfortable.

After they finished drinking, Wang Shuping heated up some rice porridge and chopped some side dishes for everyone to have some to tide them over.

Afterwards, Secretary Qi arranged for people to guard the peach orchard in shifts, and Qi Shugen's hunting rifle, along with the hunting rifles he had previously found, were placed inside the wooden house.

Wang Shuping took He Jingyu and He Tiantian home.

He Tiantian had just drunk a bowl of porridge, but her stomach was still empty and she was very hungry.

When they got home, He Tiantian said, "Mom, I'm very hungry."

"Go inside and rest," Wang Shuping said. "I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

He Tiantian washed up with hot water, changed into her pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

Ah, my own bed is so comfortable!

Wang Shuping quickly cooked a pot of noodles and served a large bowl to He Tiantian and He Jingyu.

In He Tiantian's bowl, there were two large poached eggs.

He Tiantian didn't mind the heat and ate a large bowl of food without even realizing it. Still wanting more, she asked, "Mom, is there any more?"

Wang Shuping knew her daughter had a big appetite, but seeing her daughter eating more than her husband, she was a little worried and said, "Sweetie, although being able to eat is a blessing, eating too much will make you fat."

He Tiantian rolled up her sleeves and said, "Mom, you can't just look at my face and not my figure. You can't say I'm fat just because I have chubby cheeks! I'm not full yet, noodle soup will do."

"Okay, there's still some noodle soup." Wang Shuping took the bowl and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of noodle soup that was almost full.

Although it's noodle soup, it still contains calories.

After eating, He Tiantian was sweating a lot. She took a towel from the bedside to wipe herself and then crawled into bed to sleep.

Eating and drinking well, and then taking a long nap, is the best way for He Tiantian to recover quickly.

"If you do that again, I'll twist your ears!" Wang Shuping said angrily. Only after her daughter had eaten and drunk her fill did she have time to discipline the nagging He Tiantian.

He Tiantian burrowed her head under the covers and pleaded, "Mom, I know, I won't do it again. Dad probably isn't feeling well today either, please go and check on him."

Seeing her daughter's pitiful appearance, Wang Shuping couldn't bring herself to hit her. She scolded, "When you get better, I'll definitely give you a good beating. You're so disobedient, even more naughty than when you were little."

"Okay, Mom," He Tiantian said in a muffled voice from under the covers.

Wang Shuping shook her head and chuckled, then turned and went out, closing the door behind her to check on her husband.

There's another bigger one there, even more disobedient.

Are you worried about the small things or the big things?

What a miserable life!

Seeing that her mother had left, He Tiantian poked her head out from under the covers. Sigh, the Snake King has passed through the Six Heavens Thunder, which is almost a year since the last time. Maybe by this time next year, he will be able to pass through the Nine Heavens Thunder.

Thinking about what happened last night, He Tiantian was still shaken. However, she was very weak and tired, and she fell asleep in a daze.

In my dreams, one moment I dreamt that the Snake King was struck dead by lightning, and the next I dreamt that tomb raiders were killing people...

In short, He Tiantian did not sleep well.

At noon, seeing that her daughter was very weak, Wang Shuping took the money and food coupons, bought an old hen, stewed it into soup, and added some soaked dried mushrooms to the soup.

He Tiantian didn't wake up, and Wang Shuping didn't call her either, telling her to continue sleeping and that she would wake up on her own when she got hungry.

Around 3 p.m., He Tiantian finally woke up.

My parents were very hungry, so they went to Taoyuan.

When Grandma Qi saw that He Tiantian had woken up, she quickly went to heat up some chicken soup for her and asked, "Tiantian, are you feeling better now?"

"Grandma, I'm much better now. I was just a little cold yesterday," He Tiantian said. "I can do it myself."

After heating up the chicken soup, He Tiantian asked, "Grandma, have you had some?"

"We've already had our lunch, you should drink yours too," said Grandma Qi. "Look how pale your face is, Sweetie. I've noticed you have a few days each month when you look rather pale. Is it because of your period?"

He Tiantian was taken aback, then smiled and said, "No, I'm different from others. I always feel a little unwell before my period. But it only lasts for a day or two, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

"Oh dear, girls need to be careful!" Grandma Qi said. "When your parents have some free time, they'll take you to see a doctor. This can't go on like this! Women need to be careful, otherwise they'll suffer during childbirth." (To be continued.)
