Chapter 489: Chapter 460 Second Brother Lu_1

By the time the work was over, Qi Daniu could no longer restrain herself.

"Sister Tiantian, why didn’t you let me speak up! That Yang Huihui was clearly targeting us." Qi Daniu was also straightforward by nature, and she could not stand being wronged, especially since she had become quick-witted from being with He Tiantian.

He Tiantian just smiled and said, "We’re not the same kind of people as her, and it’s not worth stooping to her level. Anyway, the work up there is exhausting, and I don’t want to go anymore. What about you? Are you still going?"

"Sister Tiantian, if you’re not going, neither am I. I can’t stand the sight of Yang Huihui’s smug face. She thinks she’s so great because she’s from the city, with her nose in the air, looking down on people. Why doesn’t she just fly to the heavens!" Qi Daniu said with contempt. "Sister Tiantian, wherever you go to work, I’ll follow. Being with you, I can learn a lot. My mother also said so, she told me to learn from you."

"Heh, I’m not as good as you say. If you enjoy being with me, then come on over, I’m quite bored by myself too," said He Tiantian. After several incidents, her relationship with Qi Daniu had grown even closer.

He Tiantian liked Qi Daniu’s forthrightness and her temperament.

The kind of people He Tiantian disliked the most were those who spoke in indirect, roundabout ways, sometimes you wouldn’t understand what they meant if you didn’t listen carefully, cunning as a mountain road with its eighteen bends.

The next day, He Tiantian stopped going to work, saying she couldn’t do it anymore.

During her time working on the mountain, Snake King was cultivating inside the barrier and had not come out. Those people couldn’t enter the barrier either, so she wasn’t worried anymore.

With that being the case, why should she go up to the mountain and deal with people’s faces? She wasn’t short of money.

When Qi Daniu saw that He Tiantian really wasn’t going, as her little sidekick, she didn’t go either.

Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan, and a few other young men from the village still went, but they weren’t as dedicated as before, just getting by and earning their daily wages.

When Ma Guoliang saw that He Tiantian wasn’t coming, he asked Wang Lei.

Wang Lei chuckled and answered, "Hehe, Tiantian and Daniu are feeling unwell and have already told Secretary Qi, so they’re not coming anymore."

It was clearly an excuse, but since they didn’t want to come, Ma Guoliang couldn’t call them back, so he was frustrated for a while.

Seeing that He Tiantian had not come, Yang Huihui was pleased inside. Although she had been angry the day before, it turned out to be effective, at least she didn’t have to see the disagreeable He Tiantian.

If she had known that this would drive away He Tiantian, she would have done it sooner.

When Tang Xinxin saw Yang Huihui’s reaction, she felt schadenfreude but also relieved that she hadn’t become such a person who lost her own identity for a man.

The excavation of the ancient tomb progressed steadily.

After the spring farming was done, the people of Qijia Village immediately started working on the road, with not many willing to come up to dig graves.

On one hand, everyone felt it was unlucky, and on the other hand, they thought that even if the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang was unearthed, with countless treasures, it would have nothing to do with the common people, so who would be willing to work there?

In any case, road work was also tiring, not much, but at least it was satisfying!

Director Yang had to deploy people from Huai City to come and help.

However, on a dark and stormy night, another group of people arrived at the back mountain of Qijia Village.

This man was Second Brother Lu, the younger brother of Boss Lu. He knew his brother was planning a big score, but he hadn’t come with them because his wife was giving birth. After many days without any news from his brother, he brought people to check.

What they found was significant, they discovered it was a large tomb.

But now he had more important things to do, which was to find his elder brother. After asking around, he heard that Hu Sanchuan had been caught, but there was no news about his brother and his group being captured.

Second Brother Lu thought that Boss Lu was fine, perhaps because Hu Sanchuan had been arrested, he went into hiding to avoid the trouble.

Second Brother Lu did not go looking for Boss Lu, as in their line of work, when they sensed something was amiss, they would flee; crafty as a rabbit has three burrows, and once the coast was clear, they would naturally reappear.

He now quietly lay low, preparing to recruit more people. Once the excavation on this side was nearly done, they would begin their heist.

Of course, if they could start from a different angle and enter the tomb chamber before these "tomb robbers" with justified claims, that would be even better. They could then take the treasures inside unnoticed and make off with them.

Second Brother Lu surveyed the terrain around and made some estimates before going back to find people.

Their Lu Family was a Tomb-Raiding Family, skilled in the art of tomb raiding and with a unique method of locating major tombs, never failing.

The thought of obtaining countless treasures made Second Brother Lu’s heart blaze with excitement, shouting that they were going to strike it rich, strike it rich.

Letting others do the work for them saved time and effort!

It must be said, Second Brother Lu was even bolder than Boss Lu!

If Second Brother Lu knew that Boss Lu was already dead, it is uncertain whether he would still be as confident.

The matter of Hu Sanchuan, had it been before, Second Brother Lu might have looked into it carefully, but ever since arriving here, he had been astounded by the grand tomb.

It was a type he had never encountered before, whether it was the large number of treasures about to be unearthed or the novel structure of the tomb chambers, Second Brother Lu was extremely interested.

Perhaps after completing this mission, Second Brother Lu could also add his own Chapter to the Lu Family’s journal.

Their Lu Family was a Tomb-Raiding Family, not only because of their superb skills but also because of their familial heritage. With detailed records spanning hundreds of years.

These books were a must-read for the Lu children. Only by understanding enough content would they be allowed into a tomb. This was why other Tomb-Raiding Families gradually declined with dwindling personnel, but their Lu Family could flourish and continue to expand!

The family had sent him out to find Boss Lu because he had not returned home for such a long time.

Seeing this grand tomb, Second Brother Lu inwardly blamed Boss Lu for being underhanded in not informing him.

Oh well, but on second thought, it made sense. He and Boss Lu were the legitimate descendants of the Lu Family. At the critical moment in the struggle for the position of Family Head, Boss Lu wanted to achieve success and secure the spot of successor.

Not telling him was, in fact, quite normal!

However, now that Boss Lu’s plan had failed and he had left, the credit would belong to Second Brother Lu!

Similarly, obtaining the treasures from this grand tomb would secure the position of Family Head for him.

It wasn’t that he was selfish, but Second Brother Lu felt he was more capable than Boss Lu. He believed he was more suitable to be the Family Head, and it would be better for the entire Lu Family.

With such dreams, Second Brother Lu was energized, paying close attention to the progress.

He was determined to win over this ancient tomb!

Like Second Brother Lu, Director Yang and the museum staff were also excited. This was the largest tomb they had excavated in nearly a decade and was sure to cause a sensation. When the time came, salary bonuses and promotions would all be within easy reach.

Despite the exhausting work, everyone was very excited, working with exceptional efficiency.
