Chapter 96: Squatting in a Row



"Hey, I found it!"

After many twists and turns, Huo Xiu Xiu finally found the email address for receiving the photos on the Internet.

"These photos have always been sent to Beijing. Although we haven't figured out who the account is that transferred the money to, it should be the Crescent Hotel that has been paying them." Huo Xiuxiu said.

"Xinyue Hotel...it's indeed Zhang Rishan!" Xie Yuchen came to the conclusion after thinking for a moment.

At this time, Mop rushed in and said, "Grandpa Huaer, I heard that this factory was built in the 1970s by an old leader named Zhang."

"Master Buddha..." Wuxie whispered.

Xie Yuchen nodded slightly. "Master Buddha built this factory to hide his secret room. When the commercial street was demolished in the 1990s, something must have been discovered during the reconstruction."

Huo Xiuxiu buried her head in the research, and her hard work paid off. "Look, I did find something in March 1999."

What was displayed on the computer was a report about the discovery of an ancient tomb during the demolition of a machinery factory.

Xie Yuchen frowned slightly and said, "The things that Master Buddha has carefully hidden for so many years were taken away so easily?"

Huo Xiuxiu smiled mysteriously, "No, he found a better way to preserve it."

Wuxie touched his chin, looking confused. "Then where did this thing go?"

That night, the three of them went to a local museum and found a screen in the corner. The introduction said it was a nut wood screen with animal pattern painting. The date was 1999 and the donor was Mr. Zhang.

"As expected of Master Buddha," Wu Xie exclaimed, "It's indeed safest to hide things in a museum."

Xie Yuchen put his hands in his pockets and said, "This Mr. Zhang should be Zhang Rishan. How old was Master Fo at that time?"

"This screen does look quite old. Look, the holes on it seem to have been bitten by insects, but they are too neat... There is definitely a problem, but how do we get it out?" Wuxie asked.

Huo Xiuxiu snapped her fingers and said, "Steal!"

"Are you crazy? This is a museum!" Wuxie whispered.

Xie Yuchen smiled and said, "It's simple, just make a copy."

Wuxie was incredulous, "Reprint?"

The next day they went to Mop's shop again, and Mop took them to a warehouse where there was a screen exactly the same as the one in the museum.

Mop stood aside and said, "What do you mean by a one-to-one replica? Look at this, it's exactly the same as the one in the museum. Even the position and size of each hole are the same, without any error. Take a look at it slowly, this place is mine, I can use it as long as I want, I have everything you want." The little guy looked so proud that his tail was up in the sky.

Huo Xiuxiu took a closer look and said, "It's nothing special, it just looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere..."

Xie Yuchen stood at a distance and looked at it, then suddenly said, "It's with Shen Zujun!"

"Boss, why don't we go back first? Look at the weather, it might rain! If it rains in the mountains, there might be mudslides, which is very dangerous, isn't it?" Agui said after standing by the lake and looking around for a long time.

"It's just a mudslide, nothing to be alarmed about." The fat man clapped his legs and stood up. Then he glanced at Zhang Qiling beside him. Seeing Zhang Qiling cross his arms over his chest, he also made the same gesture and continued, "We two brothers have rich experience in surviving in the wild. This little mudslide is nothing!"

Zhang Qiling glanced at the fat man indifferently, silently distanced himself from him, put his hands back in his pockets, and then walked to Ji Huaichuan.

Seeing that Zhang Qiling was not cooperating, the fat man stubbornly put his hands in his pockets. However, after trying for a long time, he realized that he had no pockets on his shirt, so he had to put his hands in his trouser pockets.

This action made Ji Huaichuan burst out laughing. Looking back at Agui who still looked worried, he said, "How about this, Uncle Agui? Why don't you take the clouds back first and we continue to camp here. You can come back when the rain stops."

"Yes, yes, you go back first and send us supplies after the rain stops." The fat man also nodded quickly.

Just as Ah Gui was about to agree, he heard Yuncai say, "Why should the bosses stay while I have to go back?"

Ah Gui tutted, "Alright, what are you doing here? You dare to say anything. Don't you know how dangerous that mudslide is? Grab your things and get down the mountain now."

After being lectured by Agui, Yuncai reluctantly returned to the tent to get something, and another burst of thunder was heard in the sky.

A Gui sighed, "It looks like this rain is going to keep falling for days. We're out of dry food, so save it. I'll bring you some food when the rain stops. Oh, why don't you just come back with me? It's better to be safe than sorry!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Agui, we will definitely go back safely. When you and Yuncai return to the village, kill chickens and sheep for us and wait for us to come back and have a good meal!" said the fat man with a smile.

Agui glanced at Ji Huaichuan again, and seeing that Ji Huaichuan was nodding, Agui felt relieved and said, "Then I will say one more thing. This mountain is different from the outside world. Be careful in everything."

"Don't worry!"

"Okay, then I'll take Yuncai back first. Yuncai, let's go."

The fat man waved his hand and said, "Slow down, Sister Yuncai!"

Only after Agui and Yuncai had disappeared did Ji Huaichuan release his strength and sit on the ground, pounding his waist. "Huh! That's enough. There's no one else here. Tell me, Fatty. What on earth did my master ask you to come here for?"

"This... didn't I say I came to see the little brother..." The fat man was muttering, and after meeting Ji Huaichuan's cold eyes, he closed his mouth in annoyance.

Ji Huaichuan picked up a bone and tossed it around for fun. He tilted his head to look at the fat man and smiled faintly, "Before, in the Lost Array, a fool who didn't know how to live or die tricked me. Fatty, guess...what happened to that little thing?"

The fat man wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his head, and said with a trembling smile: "This, this, how would I know, it's not, brother!" He also signaled Zhang Qiling to take care of it quickly with his eyes.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the fat man's distress signal, Zhang Qiling was about to turn around and leave. However, he had only taken two steps when Ji Huaichuan called out to him, "Stop, where are you going?"

After Ji Huaichuan finished speaking, Zhang Qiling also came back obediently and walked to the fat man and squatted beside him to accept the judgment of fate.

Ji Huaichuan snorted and laughed, "Zhang Qiling, who taught you to join others in cheating me? What conditions did Shen Tingsi agree to for you?"

"Ghost Seal." Zhang Qiling lowered his head and said softly.

After hearing Zhang Qiling's answer, Ji Huaichuan saw the fat man's face full of disbelief before he could say anything. "What? Wasn't that thing lost?"

Zhang Qiling glanced at the fat man indifferently and said nothing.
