Chapter 193 Xiaoman's Discovery
Cheng Feng felt a surge of interest in this foreigner who had come to Golmud.
There were many people who came to China to collect treasures back then, but it doesn't make sense for them to come to such a remote place.
After the truck drove into the yard, Cheng Feng opened the door and got out of the car.
This courtyard is very spacious, probably over 1,000 square meters, and is surrounded by stone walls more than three meters high.
In the courtyard stands a three-story villa, a rarity in the area.
There is a two-story building on each side of the main house, one of which should be the residence of the subordinates and servants.
The other is restaurants and canteens.
Behind the villa are several bungalows that can be used as storage rooms and kennels.
At this moment, Chen Wenjin also got out of the car and came to Cheng Feng's side to introduce him:
"This place changed hands several times before we bought it, so it's always been maintained."
The brothers had already tidied up the place this morning, and they just need to take their belongings out and set it up tonight so they can move in.
As they spoke, the two arrived in front of the main house of the villa. At this moment, Xiaohua jumped out of the car.
He jogged over to the two of them.
"This place is great; both its seclusion and size are perfect for us."
Unfortunately, since everyone was new to the area, they had no connections or resources to find such a suitable place to live.
Otherwise, the base's plans would likely be delayed.
"As long as you, sir, are satisfied, let's go in and take a look."
As he spoke, Chen Wenjin took out the key and opened the villa's door.
The villa was very empty at this time; the places where furniture used to be placed were now bare.
However, the basic decoration shows some European style, such as the stair railings, ceiling and floor tiles, which are clearly different from domestic buildings.
After walking around the villa, the two returned to the outside.
"The house is too big; even with all our furniture out, it will still feel empty. But it's enough for a short stay."
The new house will be completed in two months, and they will move out then, so Chen Wenjin has not made any elaborate preparations for the place.
But Cheng Feng didn't think so. Even if he didn't live there himself, he could use it as a base for his men.
"Let the brothers tidy this up properly, but there's no need to rush."
Take your time. We'll use it as a base for the brothers in groups one and two later.
Groups One and Two were the Xieling brothers responsible for tomb raiding and gold robbing; they were not suited to living in crowded places.
Chen Wenjin nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect took Cheng Feng's package, and Cheng Feng accepted it.
"I almost forgot about these three little guys."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng took out a bag from it, opened it, and three balls of different sizes rolled out.
"What's going on, Lao Cheng?"
Chen Wenjin recognized Xiaoman, but he had never seen the other two before.
"These two, like Xiaoman, are both skilled at digging holes. The bigger one is called Spring Equinox, and the smaller one is called Autumn Equinox."
The three balls then unfolded.
"Two pangolins, one large and one small, could this be the 'Mountain-Splitting Pangolin'?"
Since joining Cheng Feng's group, Chen Wenjin has made a point of learning about the four major schools of tomb raiding.
Therefore, the identities of the spring and autumn equinoxes were quickly deduced.
"Yes, these two little ones, like Xiaoman, can understand simple words."
The same goes for food; you only need to consume the pills I specially prepared.
Chen Wenjin squatted down and patted the two little ones' heads, muttering to herself:
"Looks like they've hidden quite a few good things..."
Cheng Feng was too lazy to pay attention to this woman and pretended not to hear her.
That evening, Huo Ling drove her three followers and Ah Xiang to their new home.
The car was loaded with a lot of things, all of which were the luggage of the three Huo daughters.
Chen Wenjin had specially reserved a spot for the three women in a small building next to the villa.
And the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect have already arranged the furniture and other items.
With the help of the three Huo sisters, everyone placed the furniture that Cheng Feng had taken out into suitable locations.
Then he took out the three women's personal belongings and placed them in their respective rooms.
After everything was tidied up, the three Huo sisters cooked a meal.
It was a celebration after moving.
Little Flower and the two Earth Goddesses were eating fresh beef with gusto.
Groceries were delivered to the house daily, as Cheng Feng's influence grew.
Everything has become much more convenient.
"Ah Xiang, think about what else you need tonight, and tell your sister-in-law tomorrow so I can have someone buy it for you."
Chen Wenjin sat next to Ah Xiang and asked her with concern.
Huo Ling's relationship with Ah Xiang has visibly improved, so naturally she can't be left behind.
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law!"
Ah Xiang smiled and thanked Chen Wenjin. She was very satisfied with her life now, at least she hadn't been harassed.
Cheng Feng felt relieved to see this, as family harmony is the most important thing.
Afterwards, Cheng Feng used serving chopsticks to add some dishes for the three women, making the dinner table feel more like home.
Everyone slept in their own rooms that night. Cheng Feng wasn't in a hurry to get intimate with them. He wanted them to get used to their rooms at least once they arrived at their new home.
The next morning, Cheng Feng washed up and took Xiao Hua to the yard to exercise.
At this moment, Xiaoman, along with the Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox, crawled out of the burrow in the corner.
"That's rare! It's not easy to see you so early in the morning!"
Cheng Feng bent down and picked up the three little ones, then said to Xiao Man in the middle.
Xiaoman gestured with its paws for a while, then looked at the ground.
"You mean there's a large space down there?"
Cheng Feng looked amused. It seemed that the foreigner had another reason for building the house here.
Using buildings as cover for grave robbing was one of the common methods used by grave robbers.
For example, Jin Suanpan used the pretense of a tomb-robbing tunnel dug during the construction of the Fishbone Temple to both conceal his activities and his true intentions.
It can also temporarily place the retrieved treasures in the building.
Cheng Feng put the three little ones on the ground and led them to the storage room behind the villa.
After opening one of the doors, Cheng Feng led Xiaoman, Chunfen, and Qiufen inside.
"Let's do it here. Xiaoman, the three of you, dig a cave together that leads to the underground space."
"Don't make it too narrow, just enough for me to pass through."
The three little ones nodded in unison.
Xiaoman then took the lead and quickly dug through the concrete, revealing the soil underneath.
The spring and autumn equinoxes follow closely behind, as they begin to wag their claws and dig downwards.
Cheng Feng returned to the villa to change his clothes while they were digging.
Just then, Chen Wenjin got up and told her about Xiaoman's discovery.
Then Cheng Feng returned to the storage room.
After the door was closed, the storage room was plunged into darkness.
Cheng Feng opened his Boundless Demon Eyes and collected the soil and stones that Xiao Man and the others had dug out.
The combination of the Mountain-Piercing Mound Armor and the Mountain-Dividing Slug Armor makes digging pits incredibly fast.
In just one and a half hours, they dug out an underground tunnel that was more than 30 meters long.
This passage was large enough for Cheng Feng to walk through normally, leading directly to the underground space.
Taking this opportunity, Cheng Feng retrieved any items he might need underground and packed them into a backpack.
At the same time, he took out his Fish Intestine Sword for self-defense.
Before going down, Cheng Feng opened the door to the storage room.
Because Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were waiting outside the door, dressed neatly.
"They've dug a hole down there; I'm planning to go down and take a look."
