Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 64 List
"What about Western Xinjiang? Back then, my father... no, I went to the desert to suppress the bandits, and drove the bandits in the Niya Oasis to run all over the desert! The bandit capital was shot dead by the fat man myself, and I also seized his belongings. Jade pendant!"

Fatty originally wanted to follow Xiao Ran's previous praise and put other people's achievements on his own father's head, but in order to gain momentum, he changed his words and said that he went to suppress bandits by himself.

Hu Bayi next to him curled his lips. Indeed, based on the time period when the bandits were suppressed in Xijiang, Fatty and Hu Bayi should both be about five years old.

But fortunately, Hu Bayi is loyal enough, so he said forcefully: "We have cooperated for a long time, and we already have a tacit understanding. If he can't go, it will be more troublesome for me..."

The tone is very tactful, but the meaning is very clear, if Fatty doesn't go, then Hu Bayi won't go either.

Xiao Ran didn't say anything, but when Hu Bayi was talking, he moved closer to Hu Bayi and Fatty.This body language is also very clear, the three of us are a whole.

Fatty and Hu Ba looked at Xiao Ran with gratitude and approval for this small gesture.But Xiao Ran knew that the purpose of this move was purely to express his opinion to these two people, and it didn't actually affect Fatty's joining.

At this time, Professor Chen and Shirley Yang's eyes were fixed on the fat man's jade pendant, as if a cat saw a toy, and the pupils were almost dilated.

"Okay! Then Mr. Wang is welcome to join."

Shirley Yang was about to go to get the fat man's jade pendant, but the fat man quickly took it back, staring at the jade pendant and said: "You can visit, please don't take it away, this is the rule of our country!"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Shirley Yang's face, but he quickly said seriously: "I'm willing to pay for it, and you can make an offer!"

Fatty and Hu Bayi looked at each other, and Hu Bayi asked, "What's your explanation for this jade pendant?"

This jade pendant, not to mention that the big gold tooth was not identified, even Xiao Ran didn't know why before.According to Yarrow, this thing is crazy, or understood to be insane.

Professor Chen said: "The inscription on this jade pendant is the ghost cave script. The ghost cave tribe is an ethnic group in the ancient Western Regions, which has been extinct. According to the records unearthed in Dunhuang, the ancient country we are going to find this time, their The Queen is a member of the Ghost Cave clan. But the meaning of the words above has to be verified again."

Hu Bayi understood: "So this jade pendant is related to the mission of the archaeological team."

Shirley Yang nodded and said: "Yes, my father led the team into the sand sea in order to find the tomb of Queen Jingjue, and has since disappeared. So this time the archaeological team's operation is to do a scene study of the ancient tomb in the desert. The second is my personal wish, I want to find the expedition team including my family and bury them."

Speaking of family members, Shirley Yang took a special look at Xiao Ran. She probably felt that she and Xiao Ran had a common destiny, and she should be able to get Xiao Ran's understanding.

Of course Xiao Ran could understand and was willing to understand. He nodded friendly to Shirley Yang, expressing his support for her idea.

Fatty's concern at this time was more realistic, and he asked, "How old is this thing?"

Without waiting for Professor Chen to speak, Xiao Ran said first: "Professor Chen said that it is a ghost cave text, so it should be 500 to 2000 years ago."

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he was already calculating the price of the jade pendant in his heart.

Professor Chen and Shirley Yang were surprised, they didn't expect Xiao Ran to know ghost cave culture.

"Xiao Ran, do you also know Ghost Cave Text?" Professor Chen asked.

Xiao Ran originally used his prior knowledge of these things to brush up his sense of existence.But when Professor Chen asked, he could only make up a nonsense: "I don't know the ghost cave culture. I just heard you talk about the ghost cave tribe. It suddenly occurred to me that my dad seemed to have told me some, but most of them were forgotten."

Professor Chen sighed: "It's no wonder that Changfeng has done a lot of research on Xijiang, so I should tell you about it. Besides, a few years ago..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to fall into sadness again, Shirley Yang interrupted Professor Chen and said to Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Xiao Ran: "I will pay each of you [-] U.S. dollars. Ten thousand. But the money will be paid when we come back."

She paused, and then said: "However, considering that this mission is more dangerous and there may be unpredictable casualties, if you encounter any accidents, I will pay this money to your families."

The fat man had no relatives and no reason, and said: "If I disappear, the money will be given to Lao Hu directly. But... what should we do if something happens to you?"

Shirley Yang raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, my company will pay you, but it will also evaluate and understand the circumstances under which I am in danger."

Her words alluded to the fact that Fatty might murder someone for money, even though it was not a matter at all, but Fatty was only thinking about money, and what he said was really ugly.

Seeing the smell of gunpowder in the air out of thin air, Da Jinya said: "This is an archaeological activity. We have sufficient funds and technology. Everyone must have a smooth journey, work together, and have a good luck! I will wait for everyone's triumphant return in the capital!"

Xiao Ran did not expect that he would successfully join the archaeological expedition team in such a way.

Coming out of Professor Chen's office building, Fatty and Hu Bayi were still discussing about Yu Pei.

The fat man said, "Old Hu, how much do you think this jade pendant can make that little American girl pay?"

Hu Bayi said with a smile: "Master Jin said before that Chenghua Porcelain can sell for a hundred thousand dollars if it is bigger. This thing is almost 2000 years old, and she cares so much, how can it be sold for a million dollars? "

Da Jinya joked, "Maybe even someone is willing to give it to you..."

The fat man waved his hand: "Come on, I won't deal with her, and I want to live a few more years. I think she is a bit interested in Brother Xiao, and her eyes have been on Brother Xiao..."

Xiao Ran laughed aloud, and said: "That sister is older than me, I don't want sibling love, but Brother Hu..."

Before he finished speaking, Shirley Yang suddenly chased him out, and they quickly shut up.

Shirley Yang handed Xiao Ran a folded paper, and Xiao Ran was about to open it, but she stopped him.Seeing this, several other people exchanged winks with malicious smiles on their faces.

Shirley Yang ignored them, and said to Xiao Ran: "I found this when I sorted out my father's notes. I don't know if it will be of any help to you. You should read it when you are alone."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went back, and the others kept making fun of Xiao Ran, insisting that this was a love letter, otherwise it would be worth asking him to read it alone.

Xiao Ran didn't understand, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile. He could only say that it was because of his new development.

The departure time was set for tomorrow, and several people scattered back to pack their things.Xiao Ran returned to the bedroom and opened the paper Shirley Yang gave him.

It was a rough list, mixed in Chinese and English, and the first one on the list was Yang Xuanwei, Shirley Yang's father.

He followed the trend and looked down. When he saw the fifth name, Xiao Ran's eyes widened, and he even felt like he forgot to breathe.

That name is Xiao Changfeng.
