Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 026 Inverted Bucket Tools
Poplar was completely confused by Hongxing, and I don't know if she was framed and quickly changed her words, or if she was really just joking.
"What are you stunned about? You don't really think I'm trying to stir up your relationship with Tie Niu's brother, do you? I'm kidding, don't take it seriously!"
Poplar had nothing to say in front of this woman, so he could only shake his head, rinse his mouth with the water in the jar, and then press the water to wash his face.
"I'm here to ask you when you're going to leave, and if you're sure you're going to leave tomorrow, you'll have to prepare today!"
"Listen to Lao Bai, I have no opinion!" Tie Niu said immediately.
Poplar honestly didn't want to have anything to do with this chameleon-like woman, but Ding Sicheng said that he couldn't let go of any clues about the tomb, and this woman refused to hand over the map of the tomb to him, no matter how disgusted he was, he could only endure it.
So he washed his face slowly, and then said, "If you want to prepare something, you go and prepare, we will leave early tomorrow morning!"
"You are a man, I am a woman, why do you still let me prepare things?"
But Bai Yang didn't look at her, and only said: "Just because you are a woman, your things can only be prepared by yourself!"
"Tie Niu, do you see if he is bullying me?"
Tie Niu smiled, very clever and refused to fork the way.
Hong Xing stomped her foot and turned to leave.
Bai Yang looked at her back and couldn't help but say to Tie Niu: "This woman is not simple, you have to be careful!"
"I know!" Tie Niu actually nodded, but then smiled, "It's not simple, it's not necessarily a bad thing, right?"
"And do you think she's really joking today?" asked Poplar.
"This ...... It doesn't matter if she's joking or not, I believe you anyway!"
"But what if you don't believe me?
"If she can provoke successfully, then she won't be called provoked, but I don't deserve to be a brother with you in the first place!"
Bai Yang really didn't expect Tie Niu to say such a crooked reason, and his crooked reasoning, Bai Yang thought about it carefully, it was difficult to refute.
Bai Yang could only sigh and shake his head, and asked, "Listening to what you mean, it can't be that she won't marry, right?"
"Well...... Tie Niu pretended to be pensive, but then laughed, "It doesn't seem like we're there yet!"
"It's good that you haven't reached that point!" Poplar nodded, "She's the girl you like, I won't say more, in short, you should be cautious, don't fall too deep and suffer yourself in the end!"
"Got it! You haven't really dated a girl yet, you're like an expert!"
Poplar had nothing to say, and was about to turn around and go into the house, when a question suddenly came to mind.
While secretly scolding himself in his heart that he was a complete fool, he turned around and grabbed Tie Niu, snatched the toothbrush jar in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up, go and chase Hongxing back!"
"Why are you chasing her? Besides, everyone has been gone for a long time, where are you chasing?"
Bai Yang had no time to explain to him, so he could only stare at him and roar: "If you are told to go, go quickly!" She turned to the right side of the street, and I will explain to you when you chase her back!"
Tie Niu was stunned by his roar, so he could only let out an "oh" and chased after him.
Poplar walked back and forth a few steps by himself, thinking about how to talk to someone when Hongxing came back later.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the laughter of the Iron Bull to be heard.
Bai Yang looked up, only to see Hongxing's reluctance on his face, and he walked back with Tie Niu.
"Comrade Gao, do you have any other instructions?" said Hongxing, cold and indifferent without mockery.
Poplar himself felt that he couldn't open his mouth, but he was forced to do so, so he could only say cheekily: "What's that...... Tools for exploring tombs and opening tombs, I don't know where they are sold!"
Hongxing said "ah", a look of surprise appeared on her face, and asked: "I heard Tie Niu say that you are the grandson of the old man Taishan Beidoubai in the tomb robbery world, so what...... You don't have any of these things at home?"
"No!" Poplar shook his head with a wry smile, "My father hated the history of our family's upside down, so before I was born, he destroyed all these things in our family!
Regarding the tools used to explore the tomb and open the tomb, such as the Luoyang shovel, the black fold, the probe claw, etc., Bai Yang has heard the old man Bai mention, but he doesn't know exactly what these things look like.
And something like this is impossible to buy on the market.
Of course, he can ask the city's archaeological team for help, but first, he is still not sure whether Hongxing's information is accurate; second, he is only a member of the newly established "tomb search team", and if he really wants to find the city's archaeological team, people will definitely need to verify his identity, which will inevitably be another trouble.
So he thought about it and could only ask Hongxing for help.
Hongxing looked at Poplar in disbelief, and saw that Poplar was uncomfortable, so she turned her head to look at Tie Niu and asked, "You two...... You've never been to an ancient tomb, have you?"
"I've been in!" Tie Niu hurriedly replied, and then smiled, "It should be said that I haven't entered, Lao Bai has entered! That jade wrench finger is really Lao Bai from the ancient tomb of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Yes, the jade wrench finger was indeed obtained by me from a tomb of a Taoist priest of the Qin Dynasty, but it is only a small ancient tomb, and it does not require professional tools and no experience and skills!" Bai Yang said.
This is his big truth.
The tomb of the Taoist priest of the Qin Dynasty was the only ancient tomb he had ever entered.
But the tomb was first discovered by accident, and he just simply and rudely blew it up directly with Thunder G;
Secondly, it was a very small tomb, and there was no other anti-theft mechanism except for the bloody wolf guarding the tomb;
Even more, when the Taoist priest died, there was no one else around, and there was no way to put the coffin in the coffin, and nails were nailed in the coffin, so after entering the tomb, there was no need for any tools at all, and Poplar easily pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus and found a few burial goods inside.
Therefore, for the business of searching for graves in the inverted bucket, Poplar can be said to have no experience.
Hongxing frowned, looked at Baiyang and Tie Niu again, and then said, "If that's the case, then I don't dare to pin all my hopes on you!"
These words made Poplar frown suddenly.
Tie Niu spoke first and said, "You don't want to get rid of us and find someone else to rob that big tomb, do you?" But Lao Bai and I are already members of the archaeological team, and since we know the news, even if we ...... I can let you go, and Lao Bai can't watch you go to rob the tomb...... Isn't it, Lao Bai?"
Tie Niu's words were actually said for Bai Yang, but after all, it was in front of the woman he liked, and when it came to the last sentence, Tie Niu couldn't help but feel a little weak, and naturally pushed the responsibility to Bai Yang.
Bai Yang nodded directly and said, "That's right! Now that we know the news, we won't allow the tomb robbery to happen!"
Hongxing looked at the poplar with both eyes, showing an angry look, and said: "I knew that you had no experience at all, so I shouldn't have mentioned this matter to Tie Niu! But don't worry, since this matter has been known to you, it is impossible for me to get rid of you and do something else! Besides, ...... With the fate of the four inverted people before, I was also afraid that there was nothing in the tomb, so I ...... I'll find an experienced person to lead us, and you two will only take care of our safety, so that's it!"
Poplar and Iron Bull looked at each other, and Poplar immediately nodded and said, "That's the best......!" How much does it cost to buy the tools, I can give it to you right now. ”
"The person I'm looking for is an uncle of mine, who used to do inverted buckets, but now that the investigation is getting stricter, he has stopped washing his hands. But he still kept those tools, and he didn't need to spend any additional money. Merely...... If it is damaged or lost, then the compensation must be doubled! In addition, no one can work in vain, and no matter whether or not the tomb can be found, the person must be paid. ”
"Okay, you see how much you need, it's up to you!" Poplar replied immediately.
"Really, I'm in charge?" asked Hongxing rhetorically.
Poplar nodded. Hongxing's face, which had been tense, finally showed a smile.
"That's pretty much it, but I don't hack you, a thousand dollars in three days from the time you set off. For more than three days, add another five hundred pieces per day. If you really find a valuable tomb, you have to double it as a bonus. ”
1,000 yuan for three days, which was a super high salary at that time.
However, a "huge amount of money" had just been deposited into Bai Yang's account, and he now somewhat understood that Ding Sicheng gave him the jade wrench, in addition to the reward for him, there was another meaning.
That was an advance for him to find a large tomb. If he has no money in hand, even if he has clues about the tomb, there is no way to pursue and investigate.
But because of this, Poplar feels more and more that this money cannot be spent indiscriminately.
So he still asked one more question: "Where is that big tomb, don't you can't catch it in three or five days, then wouldn't I have spent unjust money?"
"Don't worry, let's leave early tomorrow morning, and we should be able to get to the place within a day!" replied Hongxing.
"Then do as you say!" Bai Yang nodded, "But we have a word first, if we really want to find the tomb, the cultural relics inside must be handed over to the state, your uncle can't be blushing!"
"Tomb robbery is illegal, otherwise why would he change careers? Not to mention that in front of you two archaeologists, he wouldn't dare to blush if he borrowed his courage! But don't forget, as for my reward, I'm not so noble to work for nothing without taking money!"
"Don't worry, I've already consulted our leaders, if you really want to find the tomb, you will definitely be rewarded, at least ...... It's going to be about the same as the jade wrench!" Poplar replied.
Hong Xing smiled and said, "In that case, then let's clap our hands and swear! I will go with my uncle to find you and set off with me early tomorrow morning, and you don't have to worry about tools and the like!"
She smiled and really stretched out a small hand, Tie Niu was extremely clever at this time, and immediately snatched it up, stretched out his hand and patted it with Hongxing.
