Chapter 470: Chapter 441 Confirmation, Scolded for Disobedience_1

These items are very representative!

He Jingyu looked and said with a deep voice, "This is a Luoyang shovel, it can be used for archaeology and tomb robbing. These detonators are generally used to blast stone doors and such in tomb chambers."

"Oh my God, they really are tomb robbers!" Qi Dazhu exclaimed, "But where are those people?"

Logically speaking, they should have already reached our Peach Orchard vicinity, but we haven’t seen anyone. Could it be that they already followed the thief’s tunnel into the tomb?" Qi Shuming asked curiously. It rained last night, and they were not in the cave, so the only possibility was that they entered the tomb chamber through the thief’s tunnel.

"But rainy weather is a big taboo for their line of work!" He Jingyu said, "Since they are not here, let’s look around and check near the thief’s tunnel."

The group of people did not touch anything in the cave, leaving it for the county officials to come and inspect.

He Jingyu, Village Chief Qi, and a few others followed those footprints, continuing their search.

Especially near the thief’s tunnel, there were simply no footprints at all.

"They didn’t enter the tomb chamber," He Jingyu stated. "Look, there are no footprints. Their tracks ended where we saw them before."

Secretary Qi scratched his head and said, "These people are really crafty, we can’t find them."

He Tiantian knew in her heart that all those people had been killed by the Snake King.

The deathly appearance of those people still intermittently flashed in He Tiantian’s mind, very disgusting and terrifying.

However, He Tiantian understood that those people were extremely vicious and had guns in their hands. They definitely wanted to take advantage of the Snake King’s injury, when it couldn’t move, to kill it.

For the Snake King to kill so many people in self-defense was also understandable.

Every man for himself, and Heaven for us all!

The Snake King would definitely not let those people succeed.

Wang Shuping saw her daughter’s pale face and thought her daughter might have fallen ill from the cold night.

"Tiantian, sit for a while, I’ll make some ginger soup," Wang Shuping said, dishing out the rice porridge from the pot and starting to make ginger soup.

There was no sugar inside, it was pure ginger soup.

Though it was very spicy, it made one feel warm all over after drinking it.

He Tiantian drank a full bowl and felt a bit warmer, much more comfortable.

"You guys don’t need to search anymore. Those people probably left a long time ago. Come over and have some ginger soup. Sleeping on the ground all night, you’re not afraid of your bodies developing problems," Wang Shuping shouted, these men just don’t take good care of their own bodies.

He Jingyu knew they wouldn’t find any useful clues, and he was rather quick to notice his arm was aching, and he felt fatigued.

"Let’s go, let’s drink some ginger soup," He Jingyu said. "We all got cold yesterday, we need to be careful."

Secretary Qi was older than He Jingyu had a harder time withstanding the cold.

The group went to the kitchen, each drank two large bowls of ginger soup, sweated out, warmed up, and felt more comfortable.

After they finished drinking, Wang Shuping began to warm up the rice porridge, cut some small dishes, and let everyone have some to fill their stomachs.

Afterwards, Village Chief Qi arranged for people to take turns guarding the Peach Orchard, and Qi Shugen’s hunting rifle, along with the one found before, were placed inside the cabin.

Wang Shuping took He Jingyu and He Tiantian back home.

He Tiantian had only had a bowl of porridge earlier, her stomach was still empty, and she was especially hungry.

Once they got home, He Tiantian said, "Mom, I’m very hungry."

"Go rest in the room," Wang Shuping said. "I’ll make you a bowl of noodles."

He Tiantian rinsed off with hot water, changed into her pajamas, and lay down on her bed.

So comfortable, there’s nothing like one’s own bed!

Wang Shuping quickly cooked a pot of noodles and served a big bowl each to He Tiantian and He Jingyu.

In He Tiantian’s bowl, there were also two large poached eggs.

He Tiantian didn’t mind the heat and slurped down a big bowl, still not satisfied, she said, "Mom, is there any more?"

Wang Shuping knew her daughter had a big appetite, but seeing her eat even more than her husband made her a bit worried, and she said, "Tiantian, although having a good appetite is a blessing, eating too much can lead to weight gain."

He Tiantian rolled up her sleeves and said, "Mom, you can’t just look at my face and ignore my figure. Just because I have some flesh on my face doesn’t mean I’m fat! I haven’t had my fill yet, even noodle soup would do."

"Alright, there’s still noodle soup," Wang Shuping said as she took the bowl, and returned with almost a full bowl of noodle soup from the kitchen.

Though it was just noodle soup, it still had calories.

After eating her fill, He Tiantian was sweating profusely, wiped herself with a towel from the bedside, and crawled under the covers to sleep.

Having a full belly and then catching up on sleep was He Tiantian’s best method for a quick recovery.

"If you do this again, I’m going to twist your ears," Wang Shuping scolded, now that her daughter had eaten her fill, she had the energy to chastise the talkative He Tiantian.

He Tiantian pulled her head under the covers and pleaded, "Mom, I know now, I won’t dare do it again. Dad probably isn’t feeling well today, you should go check on him quickly."

Seeing her daughter’s pitiful little appearance, Wang Shuping couldn’t bring herself to be too harsh and scolded, "When you’re better, I’ll spank you for sure, not listening at all, even more mischievous than when you were little."

"Got it, Mom," He Tiantian said, her head still buried under the covers, her muffled voice coming from inside.

Wang Shuping shook her head with a smile, turned around, and left, carefully closing the door behind her to check on her husband.

There was another big one who was even more disobedient.

Whether worrying over the small ones or the big ones.

Life is hard indeed!

Seeing her mother leave, He Tiantian finally poked her head out from under the covers and sighed. The Snake King had endured the Six-Day Mysterious Thunder and considering it had been almost a year since the last time, perhaps by this time next year, she would be able to withstand the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder.

Thinking about what happened the night before, He Tiantian was still frightened. She was extremely weak and tired, and she drifted off to sleep in a daze.

In her sleep, however, she dreamed that the Snake King was struck dead by lightning, and then, that the Tomb Robber had committed murder...

All in all, He Tiantian did not sleep peacefully.

By noon, seeing that her daughter was very weak, Wang Shuping took some money and a Grain Coupon, bought an old hen, and stewed it with some soaked dried mushrooms to make a soup.

He Tiantian hadn’t woken up, and Wang Shuping didn’t call for her, letting her continue her sleep, until He Tiantian got hungry and would naturally wake up.

Finally, at three in the afternoon, He Tiantian woke up.

She was very hungry, as Dad and Mom had gone to the Peach Orchard.

Third Grandma Qi saw that He Tiantian was awake and hurried to heat the chicken soup for her, saying, "Girl Tian, are you feeling better now?"

"Grandma, I’m much better now. I was just a bit cold yesterday," He Tiantian said, "I can do it myself."

After heating up the chicken soup, He Tiantian asked, "Grandma, have you eaten yet?"

"We had some at noon already, you go ahead and drink up," Third Grandma Qi said. "Look at your pale little face. Tiantian, I’ve noticed you become rather pale for a few days each month. Is it that time of the month for you?"

He Tiantian was startled, then chuckled and said, "No, I’m different from others. I usually feel a bit unwell before my period comes. But it’s only for a day or two; I’ll be fine by tomorrow."

"Oh, girls need to be careful!" Third Grandma Qi exclaimed. "When your parents have some free time, they should take you to see a doctor. It’s not good to always be like this! Women need to take care of themselves; otherwise, childbirth will be tough later on."
