Chapter 373: Retreat

"Ding! Trigger a new mission, go to the Dragon Ridge Mysterious Cave to sign in, and complete the mission to get a mysterious reward!"

Because Chen Hao had already covered the coffin lid in advance and nailed the iron nails back, Professor Chen and the others could not see any clues.

The archaeological team quickly took out paper and pen records, listened to Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo explaining to them, and studied them for more than an hour.

"Ding! Exchange the Rejuvenation Pill × 1, deduct the achievement point of 200."

Considering that the gunshot wound on his arm was not minor, Chen Hao exchanged a Rejuvenation Pill from the system and ate it, and packed the equipment with everyone and returned to the city.

The archaeological team brought back a lot of precious information and finally was willing to go back. Hu Bayi and Fatty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally could leave this damn desert.

The road back was easy and familiar. After more than two hours, everyone finally returned to Jingjue Ancient City, where An Liman and his camel were still waiting.

Professor Chen was in a good mood. He shook hands with An Liman excitedly: "Brother, you have made great contributions this time. If it weren't for your leadership, we wouldn't have found Jingjue Ancient City. Thank you so much for getting so many precious information!"

The return process was a bit boring and no changes occurred during the period. Half a month later, everyone finally returned to the capital.

After returning to the capital, everyone separated from the archaeological team. Chen Hao used the remaining money last time to rent a small courtyard house, and everyone moved in.

This courtyard house has 4 rooms and a small courtyard. The house price was not very high at that time, and it cost 800 yuan to rent it for a year.

Everyone found a room to live in. Just after they made the mattress, Xueli came to the courtyard where they rented it.

She was holding a few bulging cowhide envelope bags in her hand, and then took a few glances in the courtyard and went straight into Chen Hao's room.

Chen Hao knew that she was here to pay, so he moved a stool and asked her to sit down, made a pot of tea for him and called Fatty and Hu Bayi over.

When the fat guys heard that they had money, they quickly came to Chen Hao's room, found a seat to sit down, took out a cigarette and handed it around.

"Miss Yang, how did you find us here? I remember we didn't give you the address?" Hu Bayi asked curiously.

"Ahem... it's the address given to me by Da Jinya." Sydney coughed a little when she was choked by the cigarette.

She is not the kind of petty woman. Although several big men choked her with some discomfort, she still endured the choking smell and said, "Thank you, thank you for taking us into the desert this time. This is the remuneration we agreed on in advance. Now I will pay you as much as possible and count it."

As Xue Li said, she put the cowhide envelopes on the table. The fat man couldn't wait to move the envelope bags in front of him. When he opened them, he saw stacks of brand new hundred-dollar bills inside!

Hu Bayi smiled and said, "Haha, no need to count. I believe Miss Yang will not lose a penny to us. Thank you Miss Yang!"

"The money must be paid, and you have helped us a lot this time. But... I have a question to ask you." Sydney said.

“What’s the problem?”

Xueli didn't say anything, so he came directly to Chen Hao, lifted up the hair-hued seal hanging around his waist, and said, "Several, don't pretend to be garlic with me. He has a hair-hued seal, and you two have gold-touching talismans. Obviously you are the Heavenly Officer of the Fa-hued lieutenant and the gold-touching lieutenant. Am I right?"

She stared at Chen Hao and said, "Besides, your attainment of Yin and Yang Feng Shui is far beyond ordinary people, and you are so familiar with the structure of the ancient tomb mechanism. Only the real Faqiu Tianguan and the Jinshiwei can be so proficient in Yin and Yang Feng Shui and familiar with the structure of the ancient tomb mechanism."

Everyone looked at each other, and Hu Bayi said evasively: "Miss Yang, I think you misunderstood. We are really not... The school captain Tianguan. The reason why we know Yin and Yang Feng Shui is our hobby. As for the seals and talismans you mentioned, they are small things we took out from the market. That thing is purely for fun to wear on it."

Sydney said: "Is that so? Pretend, you keep pretending for me. Don't think I don't know anything. I have paid much attention to you along the way. His hairy fingers and hairy seals are the best proof. Who else in the world today has such skills and means besides the real hairy sky official?"

Chen Hao sat aside and smoked silently, without any intention of explaining. He could not easily reveal his identity, even Sydney could not do it.

Seeing that Chen Hao refused to come out to explain, Hu Bayi had to say, "Well... this is a long story. Ahao has been following a master since he was a child and has been learning martial arts in the deep mountains and forests for more than ten years. Of course, there is no need to say much about his skills. His fingers are congenital deformities, so don't be suspicious."

Seeing that they were unwilling to tell the truth, Xueli couldn't help but glared at everyone in anger and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to tell the truth, then I won't ask. I just want to say one thing to you. Doing this job is extremely harmful to good deeds, and there will be no good ending in my old age. My grandfather Partridge Whistle back then..."

Xueli told everyone about her grandfather’s Partridge Whistle. After listening to it, everyone realized that this foreign girl was actually a fellow traveler, no wonder she knew so much.

Sydney said again: "We can be considered half of our colleagues. I would like to advise you to wash your hands as soon as possible. No matter how hard the life is, you will inevitably encounter accidents. If you really stop working on the squatting of the squad, you can come to the United States to find me. I will arrange a good job for you."

After hearing her words, everyone felt a little angry. After all, they were also the dignified official of Faqiu Tianguan and the Jinshi Captain. How could they be dependent on others? And they were still a woman. What kind of future could this be?

The fat man waved his hand the first time and said, "Thank you, Miss Yang. We appreciate your kindness, but we have our own ways to make a living and eat, so there is no need to defect to a woman!"

Upon hearing this, Xueli shook her head helplessly, then looked at Chen Hao and asked, "Mr. Chen, where are you?"

"What's the point of living with women? If you have to rely on women even for a while, what's the point of living?" Chen Hao said expressionlessly, his attitude was already very clear.

Xueli sighed helplessly again and looked at Hu Bayi.

Before she could ask, Hu Bayi said, "Sorry! Miss Yang, we have learned your kindness. Leader Mao said it well. Everything has its two sides. Good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can turn into good things. Although we are doing a living by exploring money, we also have a way of stealing. We always follow the rules left by our ancestors and only take ill-gotten wealth. The money we get is also used to build bridges and pave roads and benefit the people. You don't have to worry about the affairs of our three brothers, we have our own arrangements."
