Chapter 321 Luoyang Shovel

Zhu Suisui took a look and frowned slightly.

This person was one of the group of people in the purple mist just now. What a coincidence that we met here.

But the strange thing is that everyone else was not there, only this person came.

The man was rather short, with shiny hair. When he came in, someone was just coming out after eating and they bumped into each other. The man immediately apologized to the person.

That sounds polite.

Zhu Suisui clicked his tongue.

Wu Wenrou looked over and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Sister Sui?"

Zhu Suisui shook his head, "Nothing."

She was just a little confused. This person had no accent and spoke relatively standard Mandarin, but she couldn't tell where he was from.

But when the man holding the bag spoke, it felt very awkward.

Zhu Suisui couldn't keep staring at him, so he could only glance at him occasionally, pretending to be casual, and found that the short man was sitting in the corner.

There was another person sitting at the table in the corner.

The two people seemed to be strangers, but Zhu Suisui felt that they knew each other.

Sure enough, it happened in a short while.

The two began to communicate.

They spoke in a very low voice, and Zhu Suisui couldn't hear clearly, but they communicated mostly through gestures. Then the person who came first left after negotiating with others.

Zhu Suisui noticed that when he left, he also took away the bag on the ground.

It was a nylon bag. I didn't know what was inside, but it was expected that it should be something big.

When the man walked over, he happened to pass by Zhu Suisui's table. She had a sensitive nose and smelled a smell of earth, no, it seemed like there was also a smell of rust.

Zhu Suisui glanced at Wu Wenrou, then glanced at the man inconspicuously.

Wu Wenrou immediately understood.

She pretended nothing happened and pretended not to see the man. When she stood up and turned around, she bumped into him.

The man was startled and tried to dodge, but the thing in his hand was knocked to the ground.

The nylon bag was not sealed and was opened.

There was a ping-pong sound when something fell to the ground. Zhu Suisui looked over immediately and his breathing stopped.

The man reacted and quickly picked up the things, sealed the box tightly, and looked at Wu Wenrou with displeasure.

"What are you doing!"

Wu Wenrou apologized immediately.

Seeing that it was a little girl, the man guessed that he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he said "remember to watch the road" and left quickly.

The man who came in later didn't eat much either, and left after a while.

Zhu Suisui pursed her lips when she thought about what she had just seen, and she even lost interest in eating.

Uncle Long didn't react to all this, after all, it happened too quickly.

He also said to Wu Wenrou: "Be careful next time. You don't know who the people here are. It would be bad if they take revenge on you, a little girl."

This is also caring. Although Wu Wenrou really wanted to say that she could beat the other party so hard that his parents would not recognize him, she thought that the other party would not believe it, so she nodded obediently.

Uncle Long means well anyway.

After eating, the three of them went out.

Uncle Long and Zhu Suisui left their contact information with each other before parting.

Only two people were left.

Wu Wenrou then asked, "Sister Sui, is there something wrong?"

Otherwise, with Zhu Suisui's caution, he would not let himself bump into the other person.

Looking at Zhu Suisui’s subsequent reaction, something must have happened.

Zhu Suisui pursed her lips and said, "Do you know what was in that bag just now?"

Seeing Zhu Suisui asking this, Wu Wenrou thought for a moment and replied, "Could it be some kind of treasure?"

"No, but it is indeed related to the treasure." Zhu Suisui's eyes darkened a little. Even though she was walking on the road, she still deliberately lowered her voice. "If I am not mistaken, there are whirlwind shovels, Luoyang shovels, and some other things in it."

Say the name.

Wu Wenrou didn't understand at all.

What is that shovel? What is it used for?

Judging from Zhu Suisui's expression, these things seem to be quite important.

Wu Wenrou didn't understand nor did she pretend to understand, so she just asked directly.

Zhu Suisui explained: "All you need to know is that these things are all used for tomb robbing."

Grave Robbery?!

This word seemed a little strange to Wu Wenrou, yet not that strange.

She had never experienced these things, but having followed Zhu Suisui for so long, she also knew that some things were of unknown origin.

In the antique circle, there is a type of people who make their fortunes by being tomb robbers.

Throughout the ages, whether in the past or now, people have always hated and detested tomb robbers.

Because these people did these things purely for profit.

Previous laws even established very harsh criminal laws to punish grave robbers.

But even so.

This line of work is still full of spring breeze and new life.

Because the profits are so considerable.

Generally speaking, tomb robbing is a family business, passed down from grandfather to father, and from father to son, generation after generation.

This is a truly bloody industry.

Birds die for food, people die for wealth. The riskier the industry, the greater the return rate. If you can really steal a cool tomb, you can completely achieve class crossing.

Zhu Suisui didn’t know much about this line of work before, but don’t forget how Shou Lao’s family made their fortune. Shou Lao’s father was the head of the Hai family. In those days, the Hai family became well-known for their superb skills in tomb robbing, and they also had reputation, status and wealth.

If it weren't for the chaos at that time and the persecution suffered by the Japanese, Old Man Shou might have followed in his father's footsteps and continued in this business.

However, although Shou Lao Tou was strictly forbidden by his father to continue digging ancient tombs, he did learn the necessary skills very well and was even more talented than Hai Lao Ye Zi.

Old Man Shou had no one to inherit his skills, so now that he had accepted Zhu Suisui as his apprentice, he had no intention of hiding anything and told him everything.

Zhu Suisui learned about tomb robbing, but didn't take it too seriously.

She learned these things because she wanted to study archaeology in the future, not to rob tombs. She felt that she would not be able to get involved with people in this field in the short term.

Even though Hai Chenyan is one, he has already retired from the business. He is still buying and selling antiques, but he will no longer consider robbing tombs.

I just didn't expect it.

This time when I came to Guangzhou, I unexpectedly ran into this group of tomb robbers.

Zhu Suisui couldn't help but think.

Could it be that those large quantities of cultural relics that flowed into the city of Sijiu in previous lives were caused by this gang of tomb robbers?

Bronzeware...

With more than two thousand years of history, this is no simple tomb!

Zhu Suisui frowned and instantly felt that Guangzhou was indeed unsafe. Even tomb robbers had come, so he was afraid that there might be more than one.
