The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Please forgive my intrusion, gentlemen."

"I am the owner of this restaurant, my surname is Huo, and I am known as Third Sister. This is my niece, who is also the manager of the restaurant. You two can call her Xiao Qi."

"I have naturally heard of Huo San Niang, a heroine among women, and Qi Guniang, a fairy from Changsha."

At this moment, Fang Yun finished drinking a bowl of hot tea and laughed.

“I have a friend named Chen Yulou. When we last met, he told me that someone had bought information about me from his men. I suppose it was the work of Boss Huo.”

"In that case, Master Huo should know that I don't like formalities."

"If there is anything you need, please speak frankly, Master Huo."

Two years have passed, and he still hasn't gotten used to the rigidity of this era, the polite speech, and the complicated rules.

If Huo Sanniang were to continue talking, she could probably go on until noon.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Huo San Niang was immediately stunned, and Qi Gu Niang also lowered her head slightly, her face flushed.

But soon, a smile appeared on Huo San Niang's face.

I see...

Both the people from the Unloading Ridge faction and the warlords were right; Fang Yun was indeed quite straightforward.

But this frankness... is what she sees as youth.

Such a personality makes one very easy to win over...

Thinking of this, Huo Sanniang gave up the idea of ​​continuing to probe for information, straightened her expression, and said to Fang Yun:

"Since that's the case, then Third Sister will speak frankly."

"Third Sister comes from the Huo family, which started out by tomb raiding, so Third Sister has great respect for the four legendary factions."

"Upon hearing that the tomb raiders and mountain movers Yuanliang have checked into my Huo family's hotel, Third Sister was naturally delighted and wished to make friends with the two of you."

After saying that, Huo San Niang looked directly at Seventh Miss and nodded to her.

Seeing this, the Seventh Sister bent down and reached out, placing the two small leather suitcases on the table and opening them.

Fang Yun glanced at it.

The box contained silver dollars and silver notes; there were a thousand silver dollars and the silver notes looked to be worth a hundred thousand.

The other box contained jewelry, all women's items, made of fine gemstones and pearls, all new, not from the ground.

The two boxes together are worth about 120,000 to 130,000, while his previous gold ingot could only be sold for 10,000 to 20,000 at most.

Tsk tsk... This is a sugar-coated bullet.

"Master Fang, these are the silver notes and silver dollars you requested earlier."

"And these ornaments were given to Miss Hua by my aunt. Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, these ornaments are all clean."

The Seventh Sister's voice was very clear and melodious, like the call of a thrush.

"Given to me?"

Upon hearing Seventh Sister's words, Hua looked into the box and, upon seeing the exquisite ornaments inside, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

Seeing the flower's expression, Fang Yun chuckled, patted the flower's head, and whispered:

"Take it if you like it."

Hua has seen countless gold and jade treasures, and has no interest in funerary objects at all; she simply likes pretty things.

"it is good!"

Seeing that Fang Yun agreed, Hua didn't stand on ceremony and pulled the small leather suitcase in front of her, rummaging through it.

The funerary objects in the tomb are not as beautiful as these ornaments!

· ·········Request flowers· ···

"I've accepted the gifts. If you have anything to say, Master Huo, please speak freely."

Seeing his young wife's happy expression, Fang Yun was also in a good mood and smiled as he looked at Huo San Niang.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Given Huo San Niang's behavior, he wouldn't refuse to even speak.

He didn't care what kind of personality Huo Sanniang had, as long as she didn't become his enemy. After all, everyone has their own stance, and one should use their own eyes to judge likes and dislikes.

Seeing Fang Yun accept the gift, Huo Sanniang relaxed completely, smiled and waved her hand, saying:

"From now on, you may call me Third Sister, Master Fang."

"I'm not here today to trouble Master Fang, but simply to make friends with Master Fang and Miss Hua. Third Sister isn't the kind of woman who doesn't know what's good for her."

"Third Sister is often busy with trivial matters and is not in the shop. If you two need anything, just call Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi has been in the shop these days, so she will take care of you for me."

..... . .......

"Knock...knock..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing the knocking, both Huo San Niang and Qi Guniang froze.

I had already instructed them not to disturb us. Which servant is so ignorant of etiquette?

Fang Yun was also somewhat surprised.

He and Hua didn't have many friends in Changsha, so the person who came must be looking for Huo Sanniang or Qi Guniang.

But to bother us at this time... if the visitor isn't stupid, then they must have encountered something important.

"Auntie, I'll go take a look."

The Seventh Sister said something in a low voice, bowed to Fang Yun, and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Huo Sanniang's expression improved somewhat, and she looked at Fang Yun with a little embarrassment.

"My men don't know the rules, please forgive them, Master Fang."

"Master Huo, you're being too serious. Perhaps your subordinates have something important to report to you."

Fang Yun waved his hand, not paying any attention, and focused his attention on listening to the sounds coming from the doorway.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, they discovered something was indeed wrong.

The waitress who brought the news told Seventh Sister that a train had entered the city last night, and it was a ghost train full of dead people.

Now, the station has been sealed off by Zhang Qishan and his men.

After listening, Fang Yun felt a sense of understanding.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder there was a faint smell of corpses and earth last night; it turned out a ghost carriage had entered the city...

(This chapter includes a picture, you can take a look. Updates will take a few more days to resume. My thumb and the back of my hand are quite badly affected, so the picture won't be approved. I hope it won't leave any lasting effects...)

Chapter 160 First Meeting with Zhang Qishan!

Soon, the Seventh Sister returned to her room.

Seventh Sister hesitated for a moment, her gaze quickly sweeping over Fang Yun and Hua before turning to Huo San Niang.

Seeing this, Huo San Niang's expression turned serious.

“Little Fairy, Master Fang and Miss Hua are friends of our Huo family. Just say what you need to say, there’s no need to hold back.”

Hearing Huo Sanniang's words, Fang Yun chuckled inwardly.

This Huo San Niang is always trying to build connections, and the Seventh Sister is putting on quite a good act too.

If something truly important were to happen, how could he, an outsider, possibly know?

Although it's a bit old-fashioned... it's still a pretty good way to socialize.

“Auntie, a military train came to the train station last night. The train had no number, no markings, and no travel record.”

"Moreover... the carriages were all sealed with '520' iron sheets, and there was no movement inside. It was said to be a ghost train."

"Earlier, Buddha had already sent people to seal off the train station, and now we can't get any more information."

"A ghost train?"

Upon hearing Seventh Sister's words, both Huo San Niang and Hua Lian showed curiosity.

The term "ghost train" has only recently emerged in the underworld.

A "ghost train" is a train or car that appears out of nowhere in the middle of the night, completely sealed off, and filled with people who have died violently.

Although it has little to do with the Eight Outer Trades, such strange events always attract the attention of people in the Eight Outer Trades, and the tomb raiding trade is no exception.

"A ghost carriage entering the city...that's quite rare."

Huo Sanniang pondered for a moment, then looked at Fang Yun.

She always felt that something was strange about this matter, even that it could be called eerie.

Coming from a family of tomb raiders, she naturally knew that the ghost carriage couldn't have appeared out of thin air; it must have been man-made, and there must have been many other things involved.
