Chapter 004 The other party is named Zhang Qiling, heading to Ganggangyingzi
Hu Bayi and Tian Xiaomeng finally managed to escape.
The sky was already beginning to brighten!
After roughly determining their location, the two headed down the mountain.
However, not long after...
Hu Bayi and Tian Xiaomeng simultaneously felt a sharp pain in their abdomen!
Immediately, the two of them collapsed to the ground, groaning and unable to get up.
Later, it was the villagers of Ganggangyingzi who found Hu Bayi and Tian Xiaomeng and quickly took them to the village clinic.
After some emergency treatment, they coughed up a lot of mud!
"So, when ghosts treated us to a meal, they were serving up stinky mud!"
Hu Bayi said quietly.
Upon hearing this, Big Gold Tooth was full of amazement.
He had heard about it from his associates in various trades, such as corpse carriers, tomb raiders, and sorcerers.
When ghosts invite guests, the food is always mud, toads, earthworms, and the like.
If a normal person eats those foods, they're guaranteed to get sick!
It's incredibly lucky that Hu Bayi was able to escape with his life!
Now the mutton is cooked through.
Zhang Tiange invited Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi, and the others to eat meat.
Soon, even the biggest eater, Fatty Wang, patted his bulging belly and put down his chopsticks.
He's almost stuffed!
Zhang Tiange continued adding mutton to the copper pot.
Lamb and beef are no longer very effective.
However, they are born in large numbers!
Zhang Tiange plans to hunt more wild game, such as leopards, bears, and wolves, when he goes to Ganggangyingzi in northern Mobei this time.
After seeing this, Fatty Wang was filled with admiration for Zhang Tiange!
Hu Bayi's eyes lit up: "Master Zhang, it seems you also come from an ancient martial arts family?"
Martial arts.
Eat it until it's 70% full.
Three parts practice.
No wonder Zhang Tiange was able to easily neutralize the military martial arts techniques practiced by his troops!
"Pretty much, and my technique is a bit special."
Zhang Tiange said calmly.
Hu Bayi was a smart man, and he didn't pry into the details.
After finishing their meal, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi planned to buy some gifts to give to the villagers of Ganggangyingzi.
Seeing this, Zhang Tiange paid for the meal and then had Da Jinya give the remaining money to the two of them.
"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"
Hu Bayi was stunned.
"Well, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
Zhang Tiange explained.
"Okay, then I thank you on behalf of my fellow villagers."
Hu Bayi clasped his hands in a fist salute and paid his respects to Zhang Tiange in the manner of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world).
Fatty Wang quickly followed suit!
Zhang Tiange made an appointment with them to meet at the train station after he bought the items!
After Zhang Tiange and Da Jinya returned to Tianyi Pavilion, he took out 80,000 yuan from the safe.
Big Gold Tooth's ability to sell antiques is top-notch.
Zhang Tiange even saw a few US dollars!
"Okay, Lao Jin."
As Zhang Tiange spoke, he patted Big Gold Tooth on the shoulder.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, I'm just trying to recoup some of the interest on the cultural relics that were looted from the capital back then."
Big Gold Tooth grinned, his motto being to fleece any foreigner he encountered!
After chatting with him for a while, Zhang Tiange inquired about the Ninth Academy of Archaeology.
After pondering for a moment, Big Gold Tooth suddenly remembered that Professor Chen, an old acquaintance from the Archaeology Institute, had mentioned before leaving that there was a person named Zhang Qiling in the Ninth Academy's team.
"Mr. Zhang, because the other party also has the surname Zhang, I specifically inquired about that person."
"I heard he's a quiet, reserved person, not very talkative. Could he be a distant relative?"
Big Gold Tooth said casually.
Zhang Qiling?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiange immediately thought of Brother Qilin!
He asked Big Gold Tooth, "Is there a person named Wu Erbai in the Ninth Academy of Archaeology?"
After recalling the events, Da Jinya said that Wu Erbai was still at the Archaeological Institute four or five years ago, but was later transferred to the Changsha local cultural relics department.
Sure enough!
Zhang Tiange nodded, wondering if Zhang Qiling was currently in Changbai Mountain or at the Golmud Sanatorium.
Big Gold Tooth then told Zhang Tiange about the Ninth Academy of Archaeology.
"Master Zhang, I heard that the group from the Ninth Academy who went to the underwater tomb had some trouble. They went down into the tomb several times afterward, but they didn't find any valuable artifacts."
"Perhaps we can still find some hidden gems on this trip to Ganggangyingzi!"
"Big Gold Tooth said confidently."
Zhang Tiange smiled but remained silent.
Big Gold Tooth was unaware of the inside story and could only see the surface – the people from the Ninth Archaeological Institute hadn't found any valuable items!
Zhang Tiange knew that the archaeological mission had failed because Master Xie was secretly plotting against him.
For him, the most urgent task is to improve his own strength!
In any case, with the Xie family as the mastermind behind it all, the archaeological team won't unearth any valuable items.
After checking the time, Zhang Tiange asked Da Jinya to drive him to the train station in his van.
After half an hour.
Zhang Tiange and Da Jinya arrived at the train station.
At that moment, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang had just gotten off a tricycle, which was piled with all sorts of items.
There are milk candy, tea, canned goods, and candied fruit.
There was also a black and white television and an electric fan!
Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi were concerned about the villagers in their village and wished they could bring all the good things from the capital to their village.
Unfortunately, they are just ordinary people and don't have that much money.
With the remaining money, Hu Bayi bought general meal tickets, and he and Fatty Wang hired a tricycle driver to help deliver them to the train station.
Big Gold Tooth took the money, bought train tickets, and handed them to Zhang Tiange, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang.
Everyone carried their bags and boarded the train, embarking on their journey to Ganggangyingzi!
After finding his seat, Fatty Wang was already exhausted.
He was panting heavily, slumped over the small table in front of him!
"Oh dear, Lao Hu, I can't go on anymore, I'm exhausted—"
As he spoke, Fatty Wang stretched out his fat hand and fanned himself!
"Fatty, I think you need to lose weight."
Hu Bayi shook his head slightly and shouted.
"How can that be? This is all the essence!"
Upon hearing about losing weight, Fatty Wang sat up straight abruptly, shaking his head vigorously.
"I've only ever heard the saying 'good things come in small packages,' what you're just fat!"
Hu Bayi said with a smile.
concentrate?
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang's gaze fell on Zhang Tiange.
"Master Zhang, how many years have you been practicing this martial art? May I be a practitioner?"
Fatty Wang looked on with anticipation and said...
"This has a lot to do with an individual's comprehension."
"What's easy for those who know how is difficult for those who don't!"
Zhang Tiange said calmly.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately abandoned the idea.
He's always been someone who only gets enthusiastic about things for a short time.
Especially things that require thinking.
Fatty Wang has never been very good at this!
Oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh!
The whistling of a train then filled the air.
The train slowly pulled away from the platform, heading straight for the northern desert.
Along the way, the scenery outside the car window kept changing.
The houses in the city have been transformed into lush green fields.
During the journey, we also crossed several major rivers!
Zhang Tiange had traveled from another world, and he was enjoying the magnificent scenery of this previous world with great interest.
Three days later, around noon.
The train arrived at its destination, the county town.
Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi still carried large and small bags of supplies out of the station.
Zhang Tiange originally wanted to help, but the two of them refused in unison, saying that they couldn't let the boss do this.
The three people exited the station, and their appearance made them stand out in the crowd.
Soon, someone came looking for them.
