Seeing my confused expression, Old Man Li interrupted to explain to me: ”We are tomb robbers, cooperating with the authorities, we feel that it is not safe, and another one is what I said just now. We were extremely proud at the time, thinking that we are the best in the world, and simply looked down on Zhang Chenglin.”
Who would have thought that they would be captured by this person who they looked down upon?
”After that, you agreed to Zhang Chenglin's conditions and accompanied him to conduct an archaeology?”
”What are we testing them for? We are Zhang Chenglin's pathfinders, so we can help them cut through the thorns in front so that they can smoothly enter the ancient tomb to investigate.”
From the looks of it, these two old men were really miserable. They might be able to live a peaceful life in prison, and promise Zhang Chenglin that they would not even live if they went to the archaeological scene. This choice was inevitable.
”After the examination, Zhang Chenglin kept his promise and let you guys go?”
”Zhang Chenglin is a man of his word. He immediately let us go after he finished taking the Ancient Code.” Hearing the tone of the Old Man Wang's words, it seemed to contain his admiration for Zhang Chenglin.
”And after that?” You and Zhang Chenglin became good friends? ”
From the looks of it, Zhang Chenglin invited them to be appraiser s, so their relationship should be very good.
”Not really. At the time, we did indeed express our gratitude from the bottom of our hearts to Zhang Chenglin for his words, but at the same time, we did not want to see him again.”
”Don't want to see him again? Are you planning to go back to being tomb robbers again? ”
I stared at the two old men in disbelief. When the two old men saw my shocked expression, they both started to laugh.
”Our brothers like to be free and unfettered, not liking to be controlled by others. Although the treatment towards Zhang Chenglin is not bad, there are too many rules that restrict it. I'm a little not used to people like us who are used to being carefree and unrestrained.”
”Haven't you been in contact since then? Until this time. ”
”How is this possible?” Old Man Li replied, ”Of course we'll meet again later, but the way we'll interact is very similar to the first time.”
”You've been caught stealing graves again?” I asked him speculatively.
Old Man Li nodded his head, ”Last time, we felt that it was due to bad luck and that we were careless. But this time, we did not think so.”
Halfway through Old Man Li's words, the Old Man Wang continued, ”After that period of archaeology with Zhang Chenglin, we deeply understood that Zhang Chenglin is extremely strong. The two of us are no match for him in the field of tomb robbing, so as long as he wants to capture us, he can capture us anytime.”
Zhang Yaxin's grandfather was actually so powerful, no wonder I felt a sense of respect from the soul every time I saw him.
”And then he got you to help him with the archaeology?”
This time, Old Man Li and Old Man Wang both nodded their heads in tacit understanding with regards to my question.
”And then?”
”After that, we repeated this process several times. It was as if we were in a competition with Zhang Chenglin, but the ones who lost every time were always us.”
When Old Man Wang said this, he did not feel convinced. In one breath, he finished the tea cup in his hand.
