Chapter 378 Stolen



Li Xiujun sat beside the old man for a while, looking around, but didn't see anyone coming in or out of the house, so she asked, "Are you alone at home?"

The old man nodded.

"I came here this time because I have something to ask you. We are doing a project at school that has something to do with the bottom of a tomb, which is tomb robbing." Li Xiujun explained her purpose.

"Oh, tomb robbing..." The old man still had a lot of emotions when he mentioned it. He thought about it and said, "This sect has been dying for a long time."

Li Xiujun was naturally clear about this. She had done some research before coming here, and she came here specifically this time to ask about some things she didn't know about.

"Grandpa, why didn't you do it then?"

"Of course, tomb robbing was doing very well. But one year, many people died when we went into the tombs. In addition, the officials above did not allow such business, so naturally I gave up." The old man recounted the story in a torrent of words after recalling it.

Li Xiujun was also fascinated by what he heard.

"Grandpa, actually our project this time is to go down to the bottom of the tomb. We found bones there a few days ago. Maybe this is what you were talking about at that time." Li Xiujun also told what he knew.

Li Xiujun came here this time just to discuss and see if anything could happen.

"Da Li, you're back!" the old man suddenly shouted and looked towards the door.

Li Xiujun also looked in the direction the old man was looking, and saw the strong man limping and walking towards her with some vegetables in his hand. After he put down the vegetables, he looked Li Xiujun up and down, and felt that she was so different from the people here.

Dali quickly asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Li Xiujun stood up and extended her hand politely: "Hello, Li Xiujun, I'm here to work on the tomb bottom project."

Dali had heard a few days ago that there would be a project in the ancient city to investigate the bottom of tombs, and the people coming were all college students in the city.

Looking at Li Xiujun's appearance, everything seemed to be right.

Dali was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Li Xiujun was doing here. The old man opened his mouth and said, "Dali, this is someone my old friend called here. If you have anything to say, just tell her."

With these words, Dali felt much more relieved and quickly asked, "What's your name?"

"Li Xiujun, you can call me Xiujun."

"Xiujun, please come inside quickly. It's very hot outside." Dali said politely.

Li Xiujun didn't know why, but after the old man finished saying those words, she felt that something was wrong with Dali. It seemed that he wanted to say something to her, and she could also see it.

After entering the room, Li Xiujun asked, "Da Li, do you know what happened back then?"

Dali nodded. "I went to the bottom of the tomb that year, but the truth is not as far-fetched as what is said on the Internet. It must be that someone deliberately designed it, but we can't find out who did it."

Li Xiujun noticed that Dali was still a little nervous when describing this scene: "So you are a survivor of the incident?"

"That's right, but I don't know how I lived these years. I was scared, and I was also afraid that those people would find me, so I spent half my life in hiding. It was such a painful feeling." Dali complained.

After understanding the whole situation, Li Xiujun didn't know how to comfort Dali. After all, it had been so long since the incident.

"Then why do you think those people wanted to kill us all?" Li Xiujun found her own logic.

Logically speaking, there are only a few possibilities. If it was for people, but all the people were killed, this possibility can be ruled out directly. But if it was for money, what could it be?

Over the years, whenever Dali couldn't sleep, he would think of the scenes of that year. If he had to name one, it would probably be about a key.

Dali seemed to have remembered something and asked, "You are here to do this project. Does that mean you can go down to the bottom of the tomb and take a look?"

Li Xiujun nodded.

As if he had found a life-saving straw, Dali quickly grabbed Li Xiujun's arm and begged: "Xiujun, I have something you must promise me."

Li Xiujun was a little confused: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"Actually, I think that incident back then was a bit strange. I want you to help me. There is a key under the tomb that can open the mines in the west. If you get that key, you can get endless treasures." Dali stated his request.

Li Xiujun thought about it and rolled her eyes. This was nothing to her.

"Okay, I promise I'll help you when I get back," said Li Xiujun.

After the two of them had a conversation, Li Xiujun went back.

When she returned to the hotel, she saw many staff members gathered outside the door. Li Xiujun was confused and didn't know how she ended up like this after just one trip out.

Li Xiujun went forward and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on in here?"

The staff member looked Li Xiujun up and down and said, "The museum's superiors have said that because a particularly important antique was lost, only the project team was allowed in, so they suspect it's related to the project team."

Li Xiujun understood what was going on, but this news was not good for her.

The staff asked, “Are you going in?”

"Go in, go in."

"Hurry up, you won't be able to enter and exit freely soon," the staff member informed.

Li Xiujun didn't care about anything else and hurried to Mr. Li San's room. She knocked on the door and found that there were many people inside.

"Third Master, what is going on? When I came up just now, I saw a lot of people guarding there." Li Xiujun asked.

"Antiques were lost at the bottom of the tomb." Li Xiang said.

Zhang Rushui listened to several people discussing over and over again, but they couldn't come to a conclusion. She felt a little anxious and looked towards Li Xiujun.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Rushui quickly lowered his head.

Although Zhang Rushui didn't want to do this, she had no choice but to stand there and spin around.

Seeing that this was not a solution, Zhang Rushui felt that he needed to think about it and poked Zhang Yun.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun went out for a few minutes. When she came back, she looked so weak, her face was pale, and her breath was particularly weak: "I... I don't know what's wrong, I just feel so uncomfortable all over my body. Am I sick?"

Zhang Rushui hurried forward to support Zhang Yun, frowning.
