Chapter 627 Tomb Raiding (3)
Chapter 627 Tomb Raiding (3)
After having a great time at the underground casino, Wangyou smuggled some good stuff around the United States and then decided to return home.
As soon as the ship carrying Wangyou left the port, the United States declared martial law because their armories and supply depots had gone missing, and they were now searching the entire city for suspicious persons.
Now, Jude Kao's death is no longer a cause for concern.
Stepping onto Chinese soil again, Wangyou didn't feel familiar; instead, she felt a sense of estrangement. Everything here was different from what it had been thirty years ago.
Wangyou's sudden return to China caught the Lu family off guard. Only then did Wangyou learn that her parents had passed away five years ago.
After finding out that her parents were buried in the Lu family's ancestral cemetery, Wangyou quickly left the Lu family.
Deep in the Taihang Mountains, a girl dressed in black appeared. Wangyou activated the formation of her family's ancestral graves and found her parents' graves in front of the tombstones.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back. So many things have changed. I was only eight when I left, and I'm thirty-eight now. Why didn't you let me come back?"
Without you, Lu family, there's no point in me going. All those people are strangers to me; I don't know any of them. Suddenly, I don't know where to go.
So, after thinking about it, I've decided to live here from now on. I haven't spent much time with you before, so this is a good opportunity to spend more time with you, even though I know you won't receive this message.
You two are in such a hurry, going straight to reincarnation after going to the underworld! Are you afraid I'll come down there and ask you about it?
She rambled on and on, then Wangyou swept away the fallen leaves on the ground with her foot, revealing a small peach blossom pattern.
Out of curiosity, Wangyou took a look and then activated the mechanism, revealing a staircase in front of her.
Wangyou had nothing to be afraid of, so she went down directly and saw a mountain of boxes, as well as a letter with the words: "To my son."
This was her father's handwriting. The letter didn't contain much information, just one sentence: the things in these boxes were all part of her dowry. As for anything else, it didn't explain anything, such as why she was immortal.
Although Wangyou didn't really want to know about this, she felt it was too much to deliberately not tell her. So she put all the boxes into her spatial storage. Since they were for her, she could just keep them.
After she came out, Wangyou restored the mechanism and the array around her family's ancestral grave. She also summoned a little ghost to build her a thatched hut, and she settled down there.
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Wangyou decided to end this life of eating and sleeping and decided to go for a trip in the mountains.
Wangyou thought she would be back soon, so she didn't shut down the formation on her family's ancestral grave.
But unexpectedly, a living person would come to him from this deep mountain forest.
"This is such a large graveyard, how come I've never seen it before!" a few simply dressed young men carrying broken guns said somewhat fearfully.
"No, it's always been empty. Could it be that we've encountered a ghost?"
"Without further ado, let's kowtow first!"
When Wangyou returned, she saw several people kowtowing in the direction of her family's ancestral graves, muttering something to the effect that they were just passersby and had no intention of offending them.
What are you doing?
"Ghost!"
The sound of Wangyou startled several people, who jumped up and shouted "Grandpa Ghost, Grandma Ghost!"
Although the atmosphere was a bit scary, especially since it was late at night, calling her a ghost would be going too far.
"You're the ghosts! Your whole family are ghosts! Have you ever seen such a beautiful ghost?" Wangyou threw the rabbit in her hand to the ground and prepared to argue with these people.
Several boys, who had their eyes closed, tentatively opened them and saw a girl in a white dress in front of them.
"Sister Ghost, we didn't mean to bother you. We have a grievance to settle, so please stop bothering us." One of them said, clasping his hands together in a mystical manner.
"Ghost sister my foot!" Wangyou flicked her forehead. "If you call me 'ghost sister' again, I'll send you to meet the ghost."
Now that they had confirmed it, it was a living person, not a ghost, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
"What are you doing loitering around my ancestral graves in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Comrade, we came down the mountain to buy grain, but that damned Red Dot sent people to sweep away the grain we had agreed to buy from the villagers. We have no choice but to rush back tonight to report to our superiors."
"Oh, what do you do?"
"We are guerrillas."
Wangyou glanced at the clothes on these people. The four of them together couldn't even make up a complete set of military uniforms. Their clothes were patched upon patched, and they looked very unwell.
How old are you?
I'm sixteen.
I'm seventeen.
I am fourteen.
I'm eighteen.
"You're all still kids, here's the rabbit for you!" Wangyou said, kicking the rabbit at her feet. She had just grabbed it on a whim anyway.
"We cannot take even a needle or thread from the people, comrade, you should take it back!"
Seeing the three of them swallow hard but still firmly refuse, Wangyou felt a little more favorably towards them.
"You are short of food?"
"We lack everything: food, weapons, equipment, medicine, and manpower," the youngest one blurted out.
"I know a place with a lot of food and equipment. It's up to you whether you dare to take it or not," Wangyou said, seeing the good fortune on these people. Since she had taken so much stuff, it wouldn't hurt to give some away; it would be like supporting the front lines.
If she herself cannot participate in the war, then sending supplies to participate is not out of the question.
"Are you serious?"
"It's true. Bring your direct supervisor to talk to me tomorrow. It's getting late, hurry back." Wangyou carried the rabbit into the graveyard, which then disappeared from their sight in an instant.
"Brother Zhu, pinch me! Am I dreaming?"
"Aww~~"
"It's confirmed, it's not a dream. Could this be the legendary gravedigger?!"
"Stop thinking about it, hurry back and report to the captain. Maybe there really is a large amount of grain!" The four of them took off running back to their own hilltop.
After Wangyou went inside, she asked the nanny to cook the rabbit into spicy rabbit meat. After eating it, she slept soundly all night again.
Meanwhile, the people in the Taihang Mountain base area, just across a mountain, were not at peace. Regardless of whether it was true or false, they decided to send someone to check it out, since they wouldn't lose anything anyway.
After waking up from her nap, Wangyou felt like she had forgotten something.
"Master, there are many people outside," the butler, who was cleaning the grave mound, said as he ran in.
"Oh." Wangyou remembered and quickly got dressed and came out.
Mr. Chen, who was in the lead, watched as a graveyard suddenly appeared, followed by a girl with delicate features but a cold demeanor.
