Chapter 024 Chapter 24

Three days later, Qingtong put on Bai Yixin's vest and met Tiezi to exchange money and take the goods.

Of course, the transaction was settled in cash, and both parties were satisfied with the transaction method without revealing their real identities.

After separating from Tiezi, Bai Yixin found a deserted corner and went back home, where he took out the pile of junk he had collected.

Qingtong himself didn't know anything about antiques. The reason why he could understand the jargon between Tiezi and the others and figure out that the item in the other person's hand was a replica was because of the system's prompts. The system could easily find out Tiezi's identity and the time of the tomb robbery. To the world-saving system, it seemed that there was no secret in this world that could be hidden.

In any case, it is very convenient for Qingtong to use Bai Yixin's vest to pretend to know everything.

Tiezi gave a lot of things, about 70 or 80 pieces, small ones were various copper coins and jade pendants, and large ones were various copper utensils and bowls. After systematic appraisal, 90% of them were modern imitations, not worth much money. There were a few genuine ones, but just as Bai Yixin requested before, they were genuine ones with low value.

For example, there was a round mirror from the Republic of China period, a few silver dollars, a handful of copper coins, an inkstone and a snuff bottle.

Although the inkstone was handed down from the Qing Dynasty, it is not an antique used by celebrities, nor is it made of good workmanship or stone. It is also slightly cracked, so its value is about a few hundred yuan.

The most expensive item is the snuff bottle, which is also from the Qing Dynasty and is worth about four or five thousand yuan.

"It looks like glass." Qingtong said while holding the snuff bottle. "It's actually the most expensive thing here."

"Host, this is called colored glaze." During the Qing Dynasty, only wealthy families could afford colored glaze.

Qingtong: "In terms of composition, isn't it glass?"

System: "It is different from glass and a little harder than glass."

"Who cares?" Qingtong put down the snuff bottle. "They're all the same anyway. System, isn't the energy of the third opening enough?"

System: "It's still a little short. I should be able to make up for it tomorrow by using Bai Yixin's vest to swipe my face."

"That's good, I hope it's in time." Qingtong said.

Tomorrow's script requires him, Bai Yixin and Wumiantong to be on the stage together. If they can't start with three of them, there will be no way to start the show.

The bus leaves at 7:15, please gather 20 minutes in advance.

At half past six, Qingtong had already had breakfast in the cafeteria and came to the meeting place at the school gate with a backpack on his back. He found that many people had already arrived. Everyone was wearing simple tops and trousers, carrying backpacks, and standing in groups of three or five. The girls were smiling and holding their mobile phones to share travel tips and talk about sun protection. The boys were excitedly discussing who could climb to the top of the mountain the fastest.

At seven o'clock, class monitor Qin Yi began to call the roll, calling out students one by one in order of their student numbers. After confirming that everyone had arrived, he asked everyone to check their luggage to see if they had brought any water or wallets, and then began to distribute motion sickness medicine to those who were suffering from motion sickness.

Qingtong stood at the end of the team throughout the whole process, with his head slightly lowered and not saying a word, acting as if he was introverted and not sociable, while quietly reviewing today's script behind his back.

After getting on the bus, Qingtong sat in the last row at the end of the team. Squad leader Qin Yi counted the number of people on the bus again, and after confirming that they were correct, he also sat in the last row, right next to Qingtong.

Li Wen and Qin Yi had a good relationship and also sat in the last row. In addition to the three of them, there was also Guan Haoguang.

"Do you want some chewing gum?" Li Wen asked.

Guan Haoguang shook his head, Qingtong didn't want any either, only Qin Yi poured two pills into his mouth.

Li Wen said with a big smile: "Let's climb the mountain, Lao Qin. If I can't climb anymore, remember to help me."

Qin Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After saying that, he saw Guan Haoguang on the other side of Li Wen leaning silently on the back of the chair, and he seemed to be in a low mood. He patted Li Wen and changed seats with him, then walked over and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Guan Haoguang forced a smile: "It's okay."

"If you feel unwell, you can tell me." Qin Yi said, "We have just started, so there is still time to stop."

"I'm fine, it's just that at home..." Guan Haoguang whispered, "There was a little problem with my uncle's antique shop."

When Qin Yi heard this, he knew it was not a good idea to ask any further, so he could only pat him on the shoulder.

After hearing the word "antique shop", Qingtong pricked up his ears, remembering that he once wanted to go to Uncle Guan Haoguang's shop under the guise of an antique dealer. Unfortunately, the guise he drew later was that of the Faceless Child, so the plan was dropped.

"Is your uncle's shop still open?" Qingtong asked.

Guan Haoguang replied: "No, the store is closed. He will not be able to open a store in the next three months."

Qingtong: ...

I guess I understand.

But three months later, it was just in time for the weird resurgence.

No, it’s not even three months, there are still more than two months left.

We need to speed up the process.

The car moved forward slowly, Qingtong's head rested in the gap between the backrest and the window, feeling sleepy. Until the car stopped, Qingtong leaned forward and was pulled back by the fat boy Li Wen.

"Thank you."

Li Wen smiled and patted Qingtong on the shoulder: "We're here, let's get off!!"

After getting off the bus, what we saw was a huge stone gate. There was also a huge stone at the entrance with red words written on it: Qiumu Mountain.

There is also a rockery waterfall next to the rocks, and the sound of water is loud.

As soon as we got off the bus, a group of girls immediately ran to the boulder to take photos and check in.

As the class monitor, Qin Yi's first task was to take roll call, and then loudly organize all the students in the class and asked the driver to take a group photo of the whole class next to the boulder.

He also said that we would take a group photo together when we reached the top of the mountain, and many boys and girls in the class agreed with him.

Good atmosphere.

When Qingtong thought that such a beautiful atmosphere would soon be turned into a terrifying survival situation by himself, he actually felt a little guilty.

But he soon got rid of this tinge of guilt when he was placed in the second row of the group photo because of his height.

"I'll just stand at the back..." Qingtong hid at the back.

He doesn't want to stand in the front because the first two rows are all girls!

"It's okay." Tang Xiaoxiao pulled Qingtong to her side, "We won't bully you."

Bai Lin came over and looked at Qing Tong's face: "You usually don't talk much, and your presence is quite low, but you are pretty."

"I want to stand with the handsome guy!"

"Oh~ So cunning."

Qingtong, surrounded by a group of outgoing girls: Help, help!

"Okay, let me stand with you." Qin Yi walked over and said with a smile.

"The monitor is so cunning, I want to sit in the front row too!" Qian Zhi, who had dark skin, smiled and stepped forward, saying with his knees bent, "This way I can sit in the second row with the pretty girls!"

"Wow, I'll come too!" Several boys who usually have too much fun started to laugh and make noise.

The driver looked at them and laughed, and asked loudly, "Not ready yet?"

"Okay!" Qin Yi shouted loudly, and then quickly asked the students to stand in place.

In the end, Qingtong stood in the second row and took this class photo. Fortunately, there were three other boys beside him, Qin Yi, Qian Zhi, and Li Wen, so it wasn't too awkward, even though they all took the photo with their knees bent.

Let me reiterate, he is not short, it's just that the boys around him are too tall. Qingtong thought silently in his heart.

After the group photo, the climb officially began.

For safety reasons, the climbers chose to go in groups, with three to five people in each group. At present, everyone is more familiar with their roommates, so they are basically grouped in groups of four. Qin Yi and Li Wen were the only two students in the same class in their dormitory. The other student was from another major. Qingtong happened to live off campus, so he was assigned to the same group as them.

The leaders of each group received a map of the Akimu Mountain trails and contact information in case of an emergency. After agreeing to meet at the observation deck halfway up the mountain at 11 o'clock, everyone officially set off.

Only ten minutes into the climb, the gap between the fast climbers and the slow climbers widened. In addition, the mountain path was winding, and soon half of the students in the class could no longer be seen.

Little fat guy Li Wen climbed a little slowly, so Qin Yi and Qing Tong slowed down to match his speed, and then fell behind him.

Looking at his classmates who had surpassed him one by one, Li Wen said sorry guiltily.

"It's okay." Qingtong said, "Just walk slowly, there's still time."

Qin Yi nodded: "There will be no problem arriving at the observation deck at 11 o'clock."

If we go faster, we can arrive at about 10 o'clock. However, there is an observation deck and a shopping area there, so even if someone arrives an hour early, they will not be bored, and they may feel that they don't have enough time to finish shopping.

"Is there a toilet on the road?" Qingtong asked.

Qin Yi looked at the map and said, "There are three temporary rest areas on the way to the scenic spot. There are toilets there. Do you want to go now? If you go now, it will be closer to the foot of the mountain."

"It's okay, I'm not going now, I'm just asking." Qingtong said.

He just wanted to use the private and secluded space like the bathroom to summon Bai Isshin to make preparations.
