Chapter 17: The Folk Archaeology Team – Turns Out They Were Grave Digging!

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jianming shot and killed the man, then stored him in his spatial storage.

The old man and another middle-aged man were startled by the gunshot and rushed over, but they saw nothing.

All that could be seen was a pool of blood left behind.

"Where's the third brother? Damn it, that bastard must still be inside!" the middle-aged man roared in fury.

Without even thinking, he knew that the third brother was in trouble.

"Don't panic! He's alone. We shouldn't separate. He can't escape," the old man said calmly.

"boom--"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a bullet precisely ripped open his skull.

The remaining middle-aged man stood to the side, his face sprayed with blood, and his head was buzzing.

He was completely dumbfounded. He had just checked the bedroom and there wasn't a single ghost in sight. Where did this person come from?

Could it be a ghost?

He recalled some legends about Heiyu Mountain, and cold sweat poured down his back.

"run!"

Having lost two men in such a short time, the middle-aged man was utterly terrified and lost all will to fight. He turned and fled out the door.

escape?

Do you want to leave now that you've come?

Chen Jianming sneered, raised his pistol, and fired a precise shot into the middle-aged man's back, killing him instantly.

The middle-aged man had just run to the courtyard gate when he turned around and looked at Chen Jianming in horror before slowly collapsing to the ground.

He never understood where Chen Jianming came from until his death.

Chen Jianming put the bodies into his spatial storage, then carefully cleaned up the bloodstains in the yard and house before entering his spatial storage.

Soon, some information came to mind.

Unlike the previous poachers, these people turned out to be a private archaeological team.

"No wonder he's dressed like a Taoist priest."

Chen Jianming was fiddling with a compass, which he had taken from the old man.

They call themselves a private archaeological team, but that's just a front. They claim to be doing archaeology, but in reality, they're stealing cultural relics under the guise of archaeology.

While others consult feng shui to bury people, this group consults feng shui to dig up graves.

This time, they had their eyes on a certain place, and a fight broke out because of infighting over the division of the spoils.

"They really aren't any good stuff."

Through their memories, Chen Jianming learned that many of the antiques and cultural relics stolen by these people were resold to foreigners.

In addition, these people had killed many others on the mountain, and each of them had at least several lives on their hands.

Some innocent villagers met a tragic end simply because they encountered them, including a child who had come up the mountain with his father.

"Searching for the dragon vein and dividing the gold..." Chen Jianming muttered to himself, holding a compass.

Through these people's memories, he learned a lot about archaeology and feng shui.

Just after leaving the space and thoroughly cleaning the room, Chen Jianming heard another series of hurried footsteps outside the window.

Another person has arrived?

Chen Jianming was completely numb. When would this ever end?!

How many waves have come these past few days!

He opened the window and glanced outside. He immediately smiled. It turned out that Yang Yu had brought several female educated youths with her.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Yang Yu urged him on, looking nervous, and quickly arrived at the front of the wooden house.

An older female educated youth standing nearby muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter? Why did you have to pester us to come with you!"

Yang Yu was too lazy to waste words with them, so she went up and knocked on the door.

"This woman has finally arrived!" Chen Jianming quickly opened the door.

Are you alright?

Yang Yu carefully examined Chen Jianming, and only after seeing that he was not injured did she calm down.

"Oh my! No wonder you were so nervous. You finally got out to get some fresh air, and you rushed us this way. Turns out you've been hiding a young man in your secret place," teased the older female educated youth.

"Haha, that explains why you ran so fast!"

The group of female educated youths burst into laughter, their gazes towards Yang Yu and Chen Jianming carrying a hint of ambiguity.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Yang Yu's face flushed instantly, and she scolded him, but it was clearly to no avail.

"Aren't you going to invite us in?" She tugged at her clothes and gave Chen Jianming a push.

"Please come in, please come in."

Chen Jianming then realized what was happening and quickly invited the group inside, pouring them a few glasses of water.

After entering the room, one of the female educated youths asked, "Aren't you going to introduce us?"

"This is Chen Jianming, a friend I just met when I went down the mountain to collect supplies not long ago."

Yang Yu then pointed to three female educated youths and said, "These are Li Xuemei, Shen Cui, and Zhao Lili. We are all from the same forest farm."

Chen Jianming nodded to each of them, sizing them up.

Among the group, Li Xuemei was the oldest, looking to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and of average appearance.

Zhao Lili has a round face and looks slightly plump.

The most beautiful of them all was Shen Cui. She had a pointed chin, and her eyes seemed to sparkle. She had a petite face and slightly curly hair, giving her a charming look. She looked about the same age as Yang Yu, and in terms of looks, she was just as good as Yang Yu.

However, unlike Yang Yu's shyness, Shen Cui seemed to exude a seductive charm in every gesture.

As Chen Jianming sized her up, she returned his gaze with a half-smile.

vixen!

The moment Chen Jianming met Shen Cui's eyes, he thought of an animal.

She's a total vixen! This woman's eyes are so incredibly alluring!

He felt a stirring in his heart after just one glance.

Several female educated youths sat together, chatting animatedly, their eyes occasionally glancing at Chen Jianming.

What hadn't Chen Jianming experienced in his past life? Without batting an eye, he took out some tea leaves and brewed some black tea for them.

Yang Yu sipped her red tea and asked, "What just happened? We were patrolling in the woods when we thought we heard gunshots. Are you alright?"

"Yes, as soon as we heard the gunshots, Yang Yu pulled us over here and ran. We thought something had happened."

Shen Cui smiled and glanced at Chen Jianming.

"It's nothing, I've gone into the basement. It must have been two gangs of bandits fighting, but they're far away now," Chen Jianming replied.

Yang Yu nodded, relieved to know that Chen Jianming was alright.

After hearing the gunshot, she felt inexplicably worried about Chen Jianming.

"This kid is quite good-looking, much better looking than those burly guys in the forest..."

Shen Cui sat to one side, twirling a strand of hair that had fallen to her chest with one hand, and holding a teacup in the other, secretly observing Chen Jianming.

After chatting for a while, it was almost noon when Chen Jianming got up to cook for the group.

Before the others could speak, Yang Yu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No need! We won't eat here; we still have to go back to the forest farm!"

"Since we're already here..."

As Chen Jianming spoke, he turned around and brought out a skinned roe deer from the kitchen: "Just wait, I'll make roe deer meat for you today."

"What a huge roe deer!"

The eyes of the female educated youth lit up when they saw the meat.

In those days, people lacked food and clothing; having anything to eat was a blessing.

In the forest farm, they rarely get to eat meat, sometimes even once every one or two months. Sometimes there isn't even any oil in their dishes, let alone meat.

"We've all eaten it, what will you do now?"

For some reason, Yang Yu suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
