A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

This achievement can be considered Bai Jing's reward.

Seeing this, Bai Jing could only agree happily.

However, Bai Jing also said that if there were anything he liked inside, he should collect it first.

Neither Hu Bayi, Fatty, nor Big Gold Tooth had any concerns about this.

Others might not know, but the three of them did. They had visited Bai Jing's private residence and seen his collection.

Any one of those pieces would be a masterpiece.

Some of these items even made Big Gold Tooth secretly gasp in astonishment.

Therefore, they knew that Bai Jing would not be interested in ordinary things.

After drinking tea for a while, Bai Jing and the others took their leave.

Fatty needed to go back to the shop to explain things to the staff, while Hu Bayi strolled off to another location.

Bai Jing was a little confused, as he couldn't recall Hu Bayi knowing anyone in the capital besides himself and Fatty.

That is, he called out to Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi didn't hide anything, and soon he led Bai Jing to an alley.

There is a steamed bun shop here, and according to Hu Bayi, the owner of this steamed bun shop is the wife of an old squad leader from Hu Bayi's former company. This old squad leader was ambushed and killed during a front-line reconnaissance mission.

Now, all that's left is this widow and her child. A widow raising a child alone, relying on the meager income from this small steamed bun shop, is no easy feat.

Hu Bayi secretly slipped an envelope containing some money to the counter of the steamed bun shop without saying a word to the owner. Then, Hu Bayi and Bai Jing left.

The atmosphere was very somber on their way back.

Bai Jing thought for a moment and said, "Old Hu, have you ever thought about how many people you can actually help by doing this?"

Hu Bayi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "I don't know how many people I can help, but I'll help as much as I can."

Bai Jing shook his head and said, "This won't work. Even if you have a fortune, this isn't a solution. I think you need to think of a more feasible method."

Hu Bayi was at a loss for words. He was just a soldier who had served for some years. What could he possibly do to help more people?

Bai Jing thought about it for a moment and decided to help Hu Bayi out.

He knew that Hu Bayi didn't want to do tomb raiding, but he also wanted to help his comrade's relatives.

In this situation, there needs to be a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The best solution would actually be to arrange jobs for the relatives of these comrades.

Just like their antique shop, they can hire a few relatives of their comrades to work, which can help the relatives to some extent, while not putting too much psychological pressure on them.

However, this matter still needs to be carefully planned.

In the blink of an eye, four or five days had passed. They had already contacted Li Chunlai and informed him of their trip to Gulan County.

Finally, on this day, Bai Jing and his group of four boarded the train to Shaanxi Province.

Chapter 187 Heading to Gulan County

Before leaving Beijing, Bai Jing checked on Bai Pi's condition again. He was still not eating or drinking and was just sleeping.

To be honest, Bai Jing was quite anxious at first. He even went back to Ganggangyingzi and went to Tuanshanzi to find the weasel there. But when the weasel saw Bai Jing's condition, it was not only not anxious, but also very excited.

Clearly, the current situation of white people is a good thing.

Bai Jing simply didn't know what was going on either.

However, since it was a good thing, Bai Jing wasn't so worried.

So we just put Bai Pi at home and waited for it to wake up, then asked Bai Qi to take care of it when he had time.

Bai Qi is now a legitimate government employee. Although he has only been a professional for two years, he was recently promoted.

It is said that if this pace continues, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bai Qi could potentially retire at least as a department-level cadre by the time he turns fifty.

This can be seen as a continuation of the political lineage within Bai Jing's family.

After all, neither of my maternal uncles' families are involved in politics or the military these days.

Naturally, all the resources ended up in the hands of the White Flag.

According to his uncle, if Bai Qi hadn't been discharged early due to an accident, he might have had a chance to be awarded the rank of "Wheat Ear".

But things are not bad now; I have a lot more freedom in terms of time.

After Bai Jing entrusted Bai Pi to Bai Qi, he embarked on his journey.

There is no direct train from the capital to Gulan County. The only way is to take a train to Chang'an City first, and then transfer to another train from Chang'an City to Yulin.

Finally, after arriving in Yulin, there were still about a hundred kilometers to go before reaching Gulan County. At this point, we boarded a bus again.

When Bai Jing and his group arrived in Yulin, Li Chunlai had already been waiting at the train station for some time.

After picking up Bai Jing and the other three, Li Chunlai led the way to the bus station and bought bus tickets to Gulan County.

The distance from Yulin to Gulan County is actually not far, only about a hundred kilometers. However, because the road is in bad condition, the driver dares not drive too fast, and it takes about three hours to get there. The group of people set off towards Gulan County, being swayed and rocked in the car.

The fat man couldn't stand the shaking of the car anymore and vomited the whole way.

Big Gold Tooth and Fatty sat together. Seeing Fatty's state, Big Gold Tooth quickly fanned him and offered him water.

"How is it, Fatty?"

Seeing that Bai Jing and Hu Bayi were completely unharmed, the fat man couldn't help but say, "They're really something! I was jostled around so much I was throwing up, but they're perfectly fine."

Bai Jing smiled but didn't say anything. He often travels for work, and some roads are even worse than this. He's seen them all before, so he's gotten used to it.

When Hu Bayi was in the army, the drivers were much more reckless than this bus driver.

After experiencing and complaining a lot, you naturally get used to it.

Big Gold Tooth seemed to remember something, gestured to Hu Bayi, and then smiled at Fatty, saying, "Fatty, Miss Yang has been in the US for so long, hasn't she contacted you, Master Hu?"

The fat man was a little upset, but he still answered:

"What's there to contact? That American girl is in the US treating Professor Chen, she doesn't have time to contact anyone."

But Big Gold Tooth teased, "But judging from Master Hu's posture, he's probably still thinking about it."

The fat man immediately shook his head and said, "What's the use of just thinking about it? I reckon we'll never see each other again in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi seemed to react, unconsciously glancing at Fatty and Big Gold Tooth.

Bai Jing suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "That's hard to say."

Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, the people present were somewhat puzzled.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jing said mysteriously, "As the saying goes, those destined to meet will meet even if they are a thousand miles apart. I think that Old Hu and Miss Yang are very destined, hahaha."

Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, Big Gold Tooth seemed to realize something, and his eyes lit up as he asked, "Old Bai, do you know something?"

Bai Jing didn't speak, he just smiled.

What Hu Bayi and the others didn't know was that Bai Jing had run into Shirley Yang when he went to school to ask for leave, but Shirley Yang didn't notice Bai Jing at the time.

Bai Jing still remembered the plot; he knew that Shirley Yang would definitely come to Gulan County.

They will definitely meet Hu Bayi in Gulan County.

However, some things lose their meaning if they are explained too clearly.

The fat man shook his head and said, "What does Lao Bai know? Lao Hu and that American girl are not on the same path. They go their own way, and we'll go our own way."

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the car suddenly jolted violently and then came to a stop.

Hu Bayi bumped his head on the glass, then rubbed his forehead. Whether it was because he was unhappy with what the fat man had said or something else, he immediately said, "What the hell are you talking about? You guys have talked the car so much you've blown the engine."

The driver then got out of the car to check its condition. After a while, he got back on and said to the passengers, "The car is broken down and can't move for the time being."

Upon hearing this, a chorus of curses and swears immediately erupted from inside the car.

Seeing this, Bai Jing and the others had no choice but to get off the bus.

It's about three or four o'clock in the afternoon now.

And this place is about 30 kilometers away from Gulan County.

Seeing that they were definitely not going anywhere, the fat man immediately asked, "What should we do? Old Bai, Old Hu, Boss Jin, we can't stay here."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing looked at Li Chunlai, who immediately understood what Bai Jing meant. He was asking if there was any other way to go. So Li Chunlai walked to the Yellow River and pointed at it.

Then Li Chunlai said to everyone, "By water, we just need to find a boat to cross the Yellow River, and once we're across, it will be easy to find a vehicle. But the problem is that boats are not easy to find right now."

Li Chunlai then explained that since the Yellow River Bridge was about ten kilometers ahead, if they could take a boat across the Yellow River, then they would only be a few kilometers away from Gulan County.

Even without a car, it's only a few kilometers from the county town, so you can walk there directly.

Hu Bayi thought this made a lot of sense, so he walked to the Yellow River and looked into the river, saying, "Well, we don't have any other choice now. Let's go to the Yellow River and see if there are any boats coming and going. We don't know when this car will be repaired."

Chapter 188 The Underwater Tomb of the Yellow River

After listening to Li Chunlai and Hu Bayi's words, everyone made up their minds and headed towards the Yellow River.

After walking for a full two hours, the group finally arrived at the Yellow River ferry crossing.

However, looking around, there were no boats in sight.
