Chapter 012 Black Donkey Hoof, Tomb Raider Talisman!
"That's right, my family has a long-standing friendship with someone who works at the Yenching Archaeological Institute."
"He happened to be excavating the Liao Dynasty tombs at Ganggangyingzi."
Big Gold Tooth recounted the events in detail.
"Oh, is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan casually remarked, "Then why bother going?"
"They dug it up before the archaeological team?"
Wang Kaixuan added.
"Ahem, Fatty, that's tomb raiding."
Hu Bayi quickly corrected him.
"Oh, Mr. Cao, you're a tomb raider?"
Wang Kaixuan is straightforward and speaks his mind without thinking.
Cao Kun hadn't expected the other party to ask that question.
However, this saved a lot of trouble!
"That's not how it works. Those emperors and nobles plundered so much of the people's wealth and put it in their tombs. That's a waste of resources."
"I used to collect them as scrap and exchange them for money to use."
Cao Kun said calmly.
rich?
Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan immediately became interested.
Hu Bayi, on the other hand, remained silent, clearly having some concerns!
after all.
Digging up graves is ultimately detrimental to one's moral character.
This is not a good thing!
"Hey, Master Cao, actually my father's ancestors learned the craft of tomb raiding from the Old Nine Gates."
"Later, he was conscripted into the army, but was discharged due to injury..."
Big Gold Tooth started talking about his father.
When Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan learned that they had also joined the army, they talked and discovered that they were in the same unit.
This invisibly brought the three of them closer together!
"However, my grandfather also did this, and when he encountered someone carrying a rice dumpling, he almost lost his life—"
Hu Bayi said seriously.
"Well, there are definitely some risks, but the effort and the reward are proportional."
"Besides, with black donkey hooves, mere rice dumplings and tomb raiders are nothing to fear—"
Big Gold Tooth waved his hand dismissively, looking completely unconcerned.
"Exactly, exactly, how can we, the living, be scared by the dead?"
Wang Kaixuan echoed this sentiment from the side.
As for those damn tomb raiders...
I don't know Wang Kaixuan, but he sounds quite impressive.
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun knew it was time to add fuel to the fire.
"I need two guides to go to the northern desert area to collect old items. I'll give you 20000 yuan for the guide fee."
"If we receive valuable old items, we'll also get a 10% commission."
Cao Kun knew that Hu Bayi urgently needed money.
"Old Hu, what are you still hesitating about?"
"With such excellent terms from Master Cao, are you really going to miss out?"
Wang Kaixuan said in a deep voice.
Then, he quickly introduced himself to Cao Kun, saying his name was Wang Kaixuan.
The person next to him is his brother, Hu Bayi!
At this moment, Hu Bayi understood: it was for his fallen comrades.
Just consider it a loss of conscience.
Hu Bayi solemnly said, "Then, Boss Cao, I will accept your offer without being impolite."
"Alright, we're all brothers."
As he spoke, Cao Kun took out another 10,000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Wang Kaixuan.
"Master Cao, what's this?"
Wang Kaixuan was stunned; it was money again.
"Regarding the deposit, I was thinking of leaving soon. Is there anything else you two need to take care of?"
Cao Kun asked again.
"No, no, we'll go prepare first, then where should we look for you?"
Wang Kaixuan asked hurriedly.
"Tianyi Treasure Pavilion".
Immediately, Cao Kun took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Hu Bayi and the others.
"Okay, okay."
After receiving the business cards, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan turned and walked out of the hot pot restaurant.
Big Gold Tooth never expected things to develop in a way that exceeded his expectations!
"Master Cao, are you really going to the northern desert?"
Big Gold Tooth scratched his head and asked.
"certainly."
Cao Kun nodded slightly.
He instructed Big Gold Tooth to keep an eye on Tianyi Treasure Pavilion while he was in Panjiayuan.
At the same time, we will keep any interesting old items we receive for him.
"Old Jin, don't worry, I won't let you suffer."
Cao Kun said with a smile.
"Master Cao, what are you saying? We're practically family!"
Big Gold Tooth grinned.
Then he turned back to attend to his customers.
Cao Kun then continued eating his hot pot.
After finishing his meal, he returned to the Tianyi Treasure Pavilion.
Not long after.
Big Gold Tooth also rushed over.
"Master Cao, I've heard that tomb raiding and the 'treasure-hunting talisman' go together perfectly."
"Look at this—"
Big Gold Tooth said with a grin.
After seeing it, Cao Kun asked Big Gold Tooth if it was genuine.
what?
Big Gold Tooth's expression changed slightly.
"Well, Mr. Cao, to be honest, the craftsmanship of making the Tomb Raider Talisman has long been lost."
"Especially now, I haven't even seen a tomb raiding talisman. This one was made by a friend of mine—"
Big Gold Tooth explained.
Cao Kun knew that finding the real Tomb Raider Talisman was asking the impossible.
He felt he didn't need this thing.
Just then, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan rode over on a tricycle.
The truck was piled high with supplies.
There are malted milk powder, milk powder, chocolate, sugar, TV series, electric fans, etc.
This time, Cao Kun gave a lot of money.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan specially bought a lot of items.
Hu Bayi was stunned when he saw the Tomb Raider Talisman in Big Gold Tooth's hand.
"Do you have a tomb raiding talisman?"
Hu Bayi asked.
"Yes, yes, I came here specifically to give these to you two."
Big Gold Tooth paused, looking apologetic. "I was wrong last time; I lied to you, Fatty."
"Consider this tomb raiding talisman my apology."
Wang Kaixuan accepted the free gift without hesitation.
There were two available, and he handed them to Hu Bayi as talismans for tomb raiding.
Hu Bayi sized him up.
He had never seen a real tomb raiding talisman, so he casually hung it around his neck.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Kun returned to the backyard of Tianyi Treasure Pavilion.
A black Ford was parked there.
Cao Kun has owned it for a long time.
However, he mainly operates in the Panjiayuan area, collecting recyclables.
Therefore, there aren't many opportunities to drive!
Now Ford cars finally have a place to shine!
After Cao Kun drove the car out of the alley, Da Jin Ya helped Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan push the tricycle closer to the Ford.
The three of them put all the items into the trunk.
After doing all this, Cao Kun, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan got into the car.
Cao Kun has already studied the general route to Ganggangyingzi in northern Mobei.
He drove straight to the Dongcheng District.
Behind me, houses and pedestrians rushed past.
Over the next few days.
Cao Kun and Hu Bayi took turns driving.
Finally, around noon on the fourth day.
Cao Kun exited the national highway and drove into a grassland.
Looking around at the lush green grass.
Cao Kun asked Hu Bayi if he still remembered the road to the village.
Hu Bayi poked his head out.
In his eyes, all grasslands look the same; how can he tell them apart?
Cao Kun was not in a hurry.
He believes that there's always a way out!
"Alright, let's keep driving."
Cao Kun gave the instructions.
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi stepped on the gas and continued driving forward.
A herdsman came along, accompanied by a flock of sheep.
Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming.
He stopped the car and quickly walked over to the herdsman.
After Hu Bayi handed him a cigarette, he began asking for directions.
Upon learning that Ganggangyingzi required a three-mile detour southward, he quickly turned around and returned to his car.
"Master Cao, we've found the road. We need to turn around now."
Hu Bayi explained.
Suddenly, the herdsman came over and gently knocked on the car window.
