Chapter 079 The number you dialed is turned off
After confirming that his second uncle was not interested in this matter and that he couldn't transfer his people without going through his third uncle, Wuxie could only call Fatty with regret.
Fatty Wang expressed his great interest in the big tomb that Wuxie mentioned.
The last time he went to the Xisha Underwater Tomb, he just wanted to find some good things to put in his store as a treasure. As a result, he suffered a lot during the trip and encountered many strange things, but he didn't bring back anything valuable.
The only thing he brought back was a pearl, which he had risked his life to "rescue". He had thought it was a large night-shining pearl, but when he looked closely...
Hey, guess what, it turned out to be a fish-eye pearl!
When the fat man found out, the expression on his face changed from joy to disbelief, and then to grief in just two seconds. He performed a wonderful face-changing show for the other two people on the spot.
Although this thing is worth some money, its price is far different from that of the Night Pearl. There is a huge difference between the two and they cannot be compared at all.
After the two discussed it, Wuxie immediately decided to take Lao Yang to join Fatty Wang first.
Because the two were so engrossed in their conversation, Fatty Wang's excitement and anticipation infected Wuxie, causing him to forget to call Zhang Qiling.
The next day, Wuxie took Lao Yang to Panjiayuan. When they found Fatty Wang, it was already noon.
Another lunch was hosted at home. Fatty Wang bought a large portion of Peking duck, ordered a sauce-flavored duck, fried two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, added a tofu and egg soup, and finally brought a can of beer and added sugar-coated peanuts as dessert.
Thinking back to the lunch he had treated Lao Yang to yesterday, Wuxie felt a little embarrassed by the sumptuous meal.
While eating, Wuxie always felt that Lao Yang beside him was looking at him vaguely, which made him feel uneasy.
After dinner, Wuxie told Fatty Wang everything in detail.
"I think this is a good idea. Wuxie, have you asked the young man if he wants to go?"
Wuxie paused, he had really forgotten about this guy.
"I'll call now."
Wuxie made a prompt decision and called Zhang Qiling's phone number.
Zhang Qiling didn't originally have a cell phone, let alone any contact information. Normally, people would either meet him by chance or rely on Hei Xiazi, the "human positioning navigation communicator."
At that time, Wuxie and Wang Pangzi were not surprised at all when they learned that Zhang Qiling didn't even have a mobile phone.
After all, Zhang Qiling is obviously a senior "autistic patient". Isn't it normal for him to be immersed in his own world and have little contact with the outside world?
Then the two of them pooled their money to buy Zhang Qiling a mobile phone, and the phone card was linked to Wuxie's ID card. Wuxie was very familiar with the phone number and his fingers tapped on the phone very quickly.
After the call was dialed, there were two blind beeps. Just when Wuxie was expecting it, a sweet female voice with a broadcasting accent and high and low intonation sounded from the phone.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."
"Maybe the little brother is busy right now, it doesn't matter if we fight later."
None of the three took it seriously. The other party happened to be on the phone, so there was nothing strange about it.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy..."
"Who are you talking to on the phone, brother? It's taking so long."
Fatty Wang was a little puzzled, and then he chatted with Wuxie and Jie Laoyang while waiting. Fifteen minutes later, there was another call.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently..."
"Hey, I don't believe it."
Fatty Wang stopped chatting with them now. He just tapped the table with his fingers and waited.
Ten minutes later, Fatty Wang couldn't wait to grab the phone and click to dial.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Please try again later."
This time he simply turned off the phone. Wuxie and Fatty Wang looked at each other, and then fell into silence.
"This... Could it be that this guy was on the phone with someone, lost track of time, and then forgot his phone wasn't charged, and then shut it down?"
Wuxie made a reasonable guess.
"Hiss, that makes sense. This is something a young man can do."
Fatty Wang nodded in agreement.
Lao Yang looked at the two of them singing the same tune and felt that the "young man" they were talking about was really troublesome, so he couldn't wait to persuade the two of them to leave that man behind and go together quickly.
"That won't do. Going into a tomb like this with three weaklings like us would mean we'd die. Even masters can make mistakes sometimes."
"That... that's not a big deal. It's not a big danger. Let's... go quickly and come back."
Jie Laoyang wanted to struggle a little longer, and Wuxie tried to persuade him.
"Old Yang, you don't understand. Going into a tomb is extremely dangerous. You can never be too careful."
Especially with him around, even a non-dangerous tomb would become dangerous!
Wuxie is very self-aware. He has experienced the strangeness of things with double certification from the masters of metaphysics and his own experience. It is impossible for him not to believe it.
"Since I can't contact my brother, and I can't borrow anyone from my third uncle, why don't I go to the Jie family and go with them this time."
"I think it's a good idea. The Xie family is also a long-established family of tomb robbers. They have a good reputation in the underworld. They are also from the Nine Gates like you, so they are safe and reliable."
Fatty Wang agreed and thought that he could ask the Jie family to share a piece of the pie.
Anyway, the three of them couldn't take much, so at most they could just pick out a few valuable things to take out.
Instead of keeping the remaining treasures buried in the ground and not knowing who will benefit from them in the future, it is better to sell them to an acquaintance. With this relationship, it will be easier to ask the Jie family for help in the future.
Wuxie and Fatty Wang quickly reached a consensus, but this sudden idea made Lao Yang's heart skip a beat and he became a little uneasy.
He actually hid a lot of things from Wuxie.
He always wanted Wuxie to go to that tomb so that he could help resurrect his mother.
There is a bronze tree in that tomb that can materialize people's imagination. As long as Wuxie can materialize his mother, he will be grateful to Wuxie for the rest of his life!
Wu Xie was unaware of the fact that his mother was dead, and he was naive and easily deceived. But the Xie family was definitely aware of it, and the current head of the Xie family was not someone to be fooled, so they would definitely check his background.
Thinking of this, cold sweat instantly broke out on Jie Laoyang's forehead. Seeing Wuxie standing up and about to leave, he quickly stood up as well.
"Wu...Wuxie, I...I, I..." I don't agree!
The more nervous he became, the more he stuttered and couldn't speak. Jie Laoyang's face turned red with anxiety.
"It's okay. I know you're from the Xie family. I can go there. I happen to have an acquaintance in the Xie family, so I'll go see her while I'm there."
Wuxie thought Lao Yang wanted to recommend himself. Although he was from the Jie family's branch, it might be more convenient for him to go, but he stuttered and couldn't even speak a clear sentence, so it would be better for him to go himself.
