Chen Yingxiong is the name of my damn father. Although I am his son, to be honest, I hate him more.
My mother died young. Five years ago, she left me alone, leaving only a coffin and a dog. You know, I was only thirteen years old at that time.
It is a miracle that a thirteen-year-old rural child without a father or a mother can survive to this day. Behind this miracle, no one knows how much I have suffered and how much I have been looked down upon, except that dog...
So when the old bald man mentioned my father's name, my first reaction was anger.
Rhubarb lay at my feet and kept rubbing its head against my knees. Next to it, the thin-skinned coffin had been dragged back by it.
My home was extremely poor. Apart from four peeling earth walls, there was no bed or table. The only piece of furniture that caught my eye was this thin-skinned coffin that could be used as both a bed and a table.
I held the wad of red banknotes given to me by my old bald daughter-in-law, patted the rhubarb, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat some meat."
Rhubarb is very understanding of human nature. As soon as he heard that there was meat to eat, he was so excited that he dropped his head.
"Look at your potential, let's go, I'll buy you a roast duck today."

After drinking and eating, I fell asleep in the thin-skinned coffin with Rhubarb in my arms.
Early the next morning, I was woken up by a loud knock on the door.
"Chen Huafan, open the door quickly, someone is looking for you."
The noise outside was really noisy, so I got up and opened the door with a look of displeasure, only to find a group of people standing outside the door, led by the little bald man.
The little bald man glanced at me and said, "Chen Huafan, these are experts from the province, they..."
Before the little bald man could finish what he said, I closed the door directly! His uncle, disturbing people's dreams so early in the morning was punishable by death in ancient times.
I closed the door and prepared to go back to sleep, but the knocking on the door from outside didn't stop.
I also lost my temper and kicked open the shaky wooden door. I glanced at the little bald man who was knocked upside down by the wooden door and said, "Get out of here and let the real owner come and talk to me."
The little bald man dared to be angry but dared not speak out. This guy usually did bad things because he was the village chief's son, but it was different today. There were a group of 'bricks' from the province standing behind him, and he didn't dare to make any mistakes.
The little bald man quickly retreated, and a middle-aged man who looked like a university professor came forward.
The professor was polite and polite. Before I opened my mouth, he smiled at me and said, "Hello, I am Li Wenhai, and you are Brother Chen, right?"
"I don't want to be a professor, so what's the point of being a professor?" I asked lazily.
The professor named Li Wenhai smiled and said: "Brother, we just came from the province and heard that there is a natural cave here. No, we are an expedition team and we just want to find a capable guide.
The village chief specially recommended you to us..."
"That old fox!!"
I spat, thinking that the fox like Lao Zhangtou must have received the benefits from these 'bricks', otherwise he would have worked so hard to introduce me to them. Also, this job must not be easy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do it.
It's my turn.
"Sorry, Professor, I can't do this job. You should find someone else. For example, the village chief's son next to me is known as Zhang Leitu. I think he must be extremely qualified as a guide."
The little bald man on the side was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but when the professors looked over, he quickly waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Professor, Chen Huafan is joking with you. There is no one in our village who can be your guide except him."
The second one!"
Damn it, this toad actually betrayed me.
I rolled my eyes and said to the little bald man: "Brother Toad, when I saw your wife taking a bath last night, you were not like this..."
The little bald man turned livid with anger.
Seeing that he couldn't convince me, Li Wenhai couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother, what do you want to do before you agree to us?"
"I can't agree. I really can't do this. You should look for someone else."
After I finished speaking, a woman behind Li Wenhai suddenly spoke with a hint of impatience, "Professor, since he doesn't want to let it go, why should we beg him? There are so many people in this village that no one can afford ten thousand yuan."
If you agree, it will be fifty thousand yuan."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, I, who had already walked into the room, suddenly turned back. Compared to just now, my attitude had completely changed by 360 degrees.
I smiled and said, "Guys, please restate what you said."
Li Wenhai looked surprised and said: "Is that what you said, Professor, since he doesn't want to, just forget it?"
"No, no, no, that's the last sentence."
"No one agreed to ten thousand yuan?"
"No, later."
"Then fifty thousand yuan?"
"Okay, I agreed..."
Li Wenhai was speechless for a moment. Xiao Zhangtou on the side was also dumbfounded and murmured: "This is so shameless..."
I agreed immediately, but the woman behind me was not happy.
I didn't care at first, but when I took a look at the woman's appearance, I was suddenly shocked.
I saw the woman standing behind Li Wenhai. She was only in her early twenties. She was wearing leather pants and a leather jacket with a simple ponytail. Her little face, which had been lightly painted with makeup, was simply compared to the bald new wife.
Not only a hundred times more beautiful.
I looked a little fascinated, and the woman gave me a fierce look and said, "Do you really think our money came from the strong wind? Twenty thousand yuan, come if you are willing, and if you don't want to lose it."
Yes, I can’t tell that this beautiful woman has a rather arrogant temper, but I like her.
"Your money is not blown by the strong wind, and my life is not picked up from the garbage dump. You get what you pay for. To tell you the truth, many people have entered that hole in the past few years, but in the end they came out alive.
It’s just me.”
As soon as I said this, the professors took a breath and looked at each other in disbelief.
The beautiful woman frowned her beautiful eyebrows and asked Little Tutu: "Is he telling the truth?"
The little bald man touched the Mediterranean-style head, which was similar to his father's, and said: "He is telling the truth. There have been several people who have entered the cave in the past two years, but he is the only one who came out alive."
With the little bald head as witness, the beautiful woman was immediately speechless.
In the end, Li Wenhai took the lead and made the decision.
He said: "Brother, fifty thousand is fifty thousand, we will give you this money."
"Happy, I like to teach sensible people like you, come in and sit down, you're welcome."
I happily welcomed the professor and the beautiful woman in, and the little bald guy also wanted to come in and join in the fun, but I blew a whistle and let the rhubarb come out. The little bald guy trembled in fright, and turned around and ran away...
My house is not big, it is empty, and there are not many chairs. As soon as these neatly dressed "bricks" came in, they suddenly seemed a little uncomfortable, especially when they saw a thin-skinned coffin in the corner.
Lu was surprised.
"Brother, why should I keep this coffin at home? Isn't it unlucky?" Li Wenhai said.
"Oh, that's what I use for sleeping. What's so bad about it? The coffin manages the money. Come on, pay the deposit. It's 50,000 yuan. You can just pay a deposit of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan." I said.
Li Wenhai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, is this deposit too much?"
"It's not much. You have to give it anyway. I'm not a lion and you're not a tourist group. Fifty thousand yuan is really not much."
Li Wenhai's expression changed slightly and he said, "Brother, how do you know we are not here for sightseeing?"
I didn’t even look at them, I just sat on the coffin lid and said, “I’ve received a lot of tourists these days, but who are carrying big bags like you? In addition, you can put your backpacks next time
The chain was pulled better, and the engineer shovel and slide rope inside fell out..."
Li Wenhai and the others were shocked when they heard what I said. Indeed, each of them had bulging backpacks. One or two of them could even see engineering shovels inside, and this thing is something that almost every tomb robber will carry.
tool, but they just modified it to be simpler and more practical and changed the name to Luoyang shovel...
A few minutes later, Li Wenhai and others gave me the money and then asked me when I could leave.
While counting the money, I called Dahuang in.
I whistled, and soon, Rhubarb ran to the back of the house wagging its tail, then dug out a bulging cloth bag with all four legs, and held it in front of me.
Satisfied, I put the money into my pocket and untied the cloth bag that Da Huang had brought in.
With a clang, the bag fell to the ground, and a bag of contents fell out.
I pointed to one of the small shovel-like things and said to Li Wenhai: "This is called a Luoyang shovel. It is seven parts copper, two parts iron and one part lead. It is hand-forged and equipped with a heavy pole. Li Yaya used this shovel back then."
The thing shoveled out the ancient city of Yinxu..."
