Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

However, Yin Xinyue believed she was still useful to Li Xiaohu and couldn't just be buried like that, so she said defiantly, "I'm not doing it today! I don't believe you really dare to bury me!"

"Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, my father will still hunt you down!"

"Crack!"

Li Xiaohu shoveled his shovel into the ground, then strode towards Yin Xinyue and, before she could react, scooped her up in his arms.

"Hey! Hey!" Yin Xinyue panicked instantly, struggling wildly as she asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Xiaohu glanced at her indifferently and said, "I told you, I'll find you a place to bury you."

"However, to prevent you from escaping, I have to tie you up first."

"No, no, no!" Hearing that he was going to tie her up again, Yin Xinyue was on the verge of tears, "I'll dig! I'll dig!"

"Put me down quickly."

She's most afraid of being tied up with ropes now; the feeling is truly indescribable!

A smile instantly appeared on Li Xiaohu's face. He laughed and said, "Why didn't you do this earlier? You wasted so many of my expressions."

"you!"

Seeing that Li Xiaohu was playing tricks on her again, Yin Xinyue was so angry that she couldn't speak, and tears welled up in her eyes.

But she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only pick up the folding shovel on the ground and bend down to dig.

They dug very hard, seemingly venting their dissatisfaction with Li Xiaohu on the ground.

However, Li Xiaohu himself was not idle either. He picked up another shovel and started digging together with her.

Even Jin Yunu and the Arhat Cat were digging at the ground with their front paws not far away. Although they couldn't dig very deep, they were still doing their part.

I don't know how long they dug.

Yin Xinyue's hands and back ached from exhaustion, and she could no longer hold on. She forcefully shoveled the shovel into the ground and cried out in pain, "I'm not digging anymore! Just kill me already!"

However, they didn't notice the crisp "clang" sound coming from the shovel.

"Ok?"

Li Xiaohu noticed the situation, ignored Yin Xinyue's complaints, and stepped forward to push her aside: "It looks like you've dug up something, move aside."

Yin Xinyue was roughly pushed away. She felt that all the grievances she had suffered in the past two days had been exhausted. Suddenly, her nose stung, and she was afraid that she would burst into tears at any moment.

but.

She believed she absolutely could not show this ugly side of herself in front of Li Xiaohu!

Otherwise, he would have thought he was genuinely afraid of him!

And then he'll use that to mock and humiliate me!

So she quickly stopped crying, trying to distract herself, and looked down at the ground where Li Xiaohu was digging. A translucent red object was already visible inside.

Unexpectedly, the tears that had just welled up in her eyes suddenly dripped onto Li Xiaohu's hat.

"Tick tock~"

Li Xiaohu felt a touch on his head and couldn't help but look up.

Seeing Yin Xinyue's red eyes, with a hint of tears in the corners, he suddenly realized something.

Her tone softened, and she lowered her head to say, "Go and rest over there."

Yin Xinyue ignored him and instead asked, "What is this?"

Li Xiaohu cleared away more of the soil, revealing a red, glass-like object that emitted a dazzling red light under the sun.

He was secretly delighted and replied, "If I'm not mistaken."

"This must be the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Tile Top!"

Yin Xinyue sniffed and continued to ask, "Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Top? What is that?"

As Li Xiaohu continued to clear away the soil and mud, he explained, "This is a common anti-theft technique used in ancient tombs during the Northern Song, Liao, and Jin dynasties."

"This technique is very advanced. First, a very thin layer of glazed tiles is laid on the hollow tomb chamber, then a layer of fire dragon oil unique to the Western Regions is poured on it, then another layer of glazed tiles is covered on top, and finally the burial mound is buried."

"Once the glazed tiles are damaged by external force, the fire dragon oil in the interlayer will spontaneously combust upon contact with air, burning the corpses and burial objects in the tomb to ashes, leaving no way for tomb raiders to plunder!"

"Rather Stick to your guns!"

Chapter Eleven - Why didn't I see the coffin?! (Seeking flowers and reviews~)

Yin Xinyue touched her nose and asked with some doubt, "Is it really as exaggerated as you say?"

"Such advanced technology existed as early as the Liao and Jin dynasties?"

"You know, even now, the glass manufacturers that supply our restaurant with special glass can't make the glazed tiles you're talking about."

Li Xiaohu looked at Yin Xinyue as if she were an idiot and said, "Don't use your ignorance to question the wisdom of the ancients."

"You'll suffer losses then."

Yin Xinyue made a face at him, clearly not listening to what he was saying.

Li Xiaohu initially wanted to push Yin Xinyue away, but after thinking about it, he withdrew his hand and urged her verbally, "Move aside."

This time, Yin Xinyue wisely stepped aside and climbed out of the pit.

As soon as I climbed out, I saw Jin Yunu's big face.

"go away!"

Yin Xinyue unceremoniously peeled off Jin Yunu's clothes.

The two cats are largely responsible for her grievances these past few days.

She might be afraid of Li Xiaohu, but would she be afraid of two cats?

"Meow!" Jin Yunu meowed, seemingly dissatisfied, but she simply curled up her tail and squatted down again without making a move.

"Hmph!" Yin Xinyue proudly curled her nose.

But before she could even feel smug, Li Xiaohu's ominous voice rang out again.

"come over."

Turn around and look.

Li Xiaohu had already settled back in one spot and picked up a shovel to start digging.

Yin Xinyue knew she was being ordered to do chores, and although she was extremely unwilling, she had no way to refuse.

Reluctantly, he stepped forward, picked up the shovel, and began digging half-heartedly.

At the same time, he asked curiously, "Didn't you already find the location of the ancient tomb? Why do you want to dig it up again?"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Xiaohu suddenly raised his head and stared blankly at Yin Xinyue without saying a word.

Feeling a little intimidated by her gaze, Yin Xinyue murmured, "Why are you glaring at me?"

"Are you an idiot?" Li Xiaohu sneered and mocked, "I already said that's the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Tile Top. If it's destroyed, everything in the tomb will be burned to the ground."

"Shall we go inside the tomb and warm ourselves by the fire then?"

Feeling extremely wronged, Yin Xinyue angrily retorted, "Why are you being so fierce!"

"I've never robbed a tomb, how would I know all these intricacies!"

Li Xiaohu's head ached from the shoving, and he angrily retorted, "If you don't know, shut up and get back to digging!" Then he lowered his head and continued digging.

The two spent a considerable amount of time on this.

They dug from noon until dusk, and the pit was more than a person deep before they finally reached a stone wall.

Li Xiaohu took out the wild boar jerky and water he had prepared earlier and gave Yin Xinyue a quick boost to replenish her energy.

Then he took out a small hammer and an iron nail and began to chisel a hole in the stone wall.

Although the "Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Tile Roof" from the Liao and Jin dynasties is indeed a masterpiece of craftsmanship, the stone casting technique of the tomb walls seems quite ordinary in comparison.

It's not hard enough, and it's not tough enough either.

Li Xiaohu took off his vest, revealing his very strong but not thick arms, and began to chisel at the stone wall.

With sheer brute force, he quickly chiseled a hole in the stone wall.

Then use a shovel to widen it.

Before long, they dug a hole big enough for someone to crawl through.

Li Xiaohu glanced into the cave; it was completely dark.

Then he put away all his tools, clapped his hands, and ordered Yin Xinyue, "Go in."

Yin Xinyue's eyes widened immediately, and she shook her head repeatedly, refusing, "No, no, no! I won't go in!"

"I'll wait for you outside!"

Li Xiaohu rolled his eyes at her and said jokingly, "Do you think you have a choice?"
