Li Nan: "......"
"My little ancestor, if we get caught, we'll go to jail!"
He held tightly to the doorknob.
Guan Yuxi's eyes widened. "Why would we go to jail for digging up our own stuff?"
Don't scare me! Otherwise, won't all of us peasants have to work on sewing machines?
She glanced at Li Nan with disdain.
He gestured for Leng Lie to open the door.
The cold, sharp hand was as strong as a pair of pliers, and Li Nan was sweating profusely from the pain.
But he resolutely refused to remove his hand.
What do you mean by digging up your own things? That's grave robbing!
However, considering that they are both from Lengjiagou, they probably don't think it's a big deal to dig up their own ancestral graves.
Li Nan filled in the blanks with his own imagination and came up with the "truth".
"Digging a grave is not the same as digging the ground."
Just like if something is unearthed while digging, it should be handed over to the state; otherwise, it's illegal.
He kindly gave the two of them a "legal education".
Guan Yuxi finished packing everything, and was so nervous that she was sweating. "Then, let's hurry up and hand it in."
With a sob in her voice, she looked at him in surprise, then turned to look at Leng Lie with a pitiful expression.
Leng Lie shoved Li Nan aside and yelled, "Get out!"
Li Nan: "......"
He's an antique dealer, what kind of legal education is he doing?
They really shot themselves in the foot.
"Xiaoxi, don't go, listen to me."
I was just kidding!
Guan Yuxi frowned and remained silent as she looked at Li Nan, whose kind expression had returned.
Li Nan tried to make her expression look more approachable. "I closed the door because I was afraid others would see me."
"People in the same industry are bound to be jealous of each other. Seeing that I've received so many things at once, they're bound to spread rumors."
"Yeah?"
Guan Yuxi looked at Leng Lie suspiciously, not believing his words.
Leng Lie's gaze swept around, and seeing that the people from the shop next door were indeed peeking out to look around, he quickly closed the door.
"He wouldn't lie to us, last time..."
"Yes, yes, I didn't give you as much stuff last time."
"Let me tell you, you can't find that set of top-quality jade artifacts anywhere else!"
Seeing that Leng Lie was so understanding, Li Nan excitedly took over the conversation and finally managed to persuade the two of them to stop.
Guan Yuxi's expression softened slightly.
Leng Lie scoffed coldly, his expression turning even more unpleasant.
Li Nan knew that the couple disagreed on that matter, and couldn't help but regret saying the wrong thing again.
"Is this mud new?"
"Of course, it was just dug out this morning."
Guan Yuxi said disdainfully.
She seemed to take Li Nan's words to heart, glancing warily at the door from time to time, and only taking out half of it.
Leng Lie, however, seemed indifferent.
"Ahem, are they all this kind of scum?"
Was it dug from the same place?
Li Nan was somewhat disappointed.
Guan Yuxi put everything he had looked at back in her pocket. "Pretty much."
Anyway, they were all buried behind the house and then dug out, so it can be considered a place.
"The archaeological team hadn't discovered this before?"
Li Nan couldn't believe it.
He might believe you if you told him to find bargains in one place after another.
How come so many were dug up in one nest? What were the archaeological teams doing?
Leng Lie said disdainfully, "That's the Great Burial Mound, the burial ground of my Leng family ancestors. It's already the limit that we've managed to get them to dig up that round tomb that no longer has any descendants to worship!"
Li Nan understood immediately.
Yes, that's their ancestral grave; people in the countryside are very particular about that.
Who would want their ancestors' spirits disturbed by outsiders? It's different with family...
"Take them all out and let us see."
He decided to watch it first before making a decision.
Guan Yuxi, however, was unwilling, saying, "I was planning to exchange half for money and hand over the other half to the government."
Li Nan: "......"
Isn't this like sending yourself to a sewing workshop?
And he was innocent too!
"Xiaoxi, didn't I tell you? I was just joking before."
Who cares about this? When relocating ancestral graves, it's normal to replace burial items if they don't seem suitable.
If he said something wrong, Li Nan had to make amends.
"But we only took it, we didn't put it away."
"That's alright. In some places, it's customary to take out the burial items of the ancestors and give them to the descendants to ward off evil and ensure peace."
"But we're selling them..."
"Isn't it all the same? Once the items are yours, you can exchange them for money or use them yourself!"
Li Nan quickly cut her off, "Want to trade or sell?"
A hint of joy reappeared on Guan Yuxi's face. "Of course, I'll sell it."
Once the conversation started, she immediately became more talkative.
“A garment factory has opened in our village, and we need money for many things.”
I took out a loan of several thousand, so I need to figure out how to pay it off slowly..."
Leng Lie interrupted her impatiently, "Why are you telling him so much?"
"This is a huge pile, totaling two thousand yuan. Take it or leave it!"
He dumped things all over the table with a clatter.
Li Nan: "......"
It's really difficult to communicate with these two clueless, uneducated farmers.
However, the fact that it can make money is undeniable.
Guan Yuxi stared intently at Leng Lie.
In Li Nan's eyes, his greed was crystal clear.
He squinted slightly, seemingly rummaging through things casually.
Suddenly, he was drawn to a pair of owl-shaped wine vessels. The vessels were shaped like a standing owl, with its legs and drooping tail feathers forming a stable triangular support. The inscription "Shushan Clan" was engraved on them.
