In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

"..."

Ten million!

Everyone was taken aback; this was an astronomical figure. While they were shocked, they also knew that the auction house had already entered a profitable phase after the first auction, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to support such a large expense.

"hey-hey…"

The fat man, having gone through thick and thin with Su Mo, naturally understood Su Mo's personality. He chuckled softly and quickly put the money away, saying, "I never thought I'd still receive New Year's money at this age..."

Yingzi returned to Su Mo's side, took his arm, and looked at everyone with a smile.

Su Mo said, "I won't be spending New Year's Day with you all..."

The crowd was puzzled. "Brother Su...you?"

Su Mo put his arm around Yingzi and said with a smile, "This year I'm going to Niuxin Mountain with Yingzi for the New Year..."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Old Hu pondered for a moment and said, "Niuxin Mountain is where I was sent to the countryside as an educated youth. I'd like to go with them, but it's the New Year... well, never mind, I'll just go home and see my old man..."

Sydney Yang also said, "I'm also going back to the US; Professor Chen is still there..."

Kongque Ada and others said in unison, "We will also build Zhelong Village. We will use this money to build Zhelong Village!"

With the New Year approaching, everyone has been busy all year and has earned a lot of money. Taking advantage of this time, everyone wants to go home and visit their families.

As the saying goes, "To return home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night!"

Chinese people have a natural attachment to their hometown in their bones!

"it is good…"

Su Mo said, "Let's all take a good rest during this New Year holiday, and we'll meet again after the holiday..."

.........

A few days later, everyone went home, and those who didn't go home started buying New Year's goods in Yanjing. Su Mo drove his Mercedes-Benz, loaded with gifts, to Niuxin Mountain.

Yingzi's original intention was for Su Mo to take the old-fashioned green train, but Su Mo had spent the past year traveling through Xinjiang and Yunnan, taking trains for a whole year, and knew how uncomfortable it was. So this time, he refused to take the train to Niuxin Mountain.

The two of them drove their Mercedes-Benz, taking turns driving, stopping and starting along the way, just to enjoy the scenery!

More than ten days later, the two finally arrived at Niuxin Mountain.

Su Mo, driving, turned to Yingzi in the passenger seat and said, "It's been a year since I've been here, the roads are much easier to drive on..."

When Su Mo last accompanied Lao Hu and Fatty to Niuxin Mountain, the journey was so bumpy that the oxcart turned several times, and his bones almost fell apart.

But now, the roads are wide, as if we've entered a new world.

Yingzi explained, "My mother wrote to me before, saying that a lot of roads back home have been repaired. Oh, by the way, I think it was with the money you sponsored..."

Su Mo was somewhat surprised, "Really? The old Party Secretary has a higher level of awareness!"

Feeling the warmth of her hometown, Yingzi opened the window, inhaling the familiar scent. At that moment, Yingzi, who usually wore no makeup, applied light makeup in front of the passenger-side mirror. Seeing this, Su Mo teased, "Having a man makes a difference; even back home, you're starting to dress up..."

Chapter 146: The Plot of the Movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend"

After another two hours of driving, Su Mo and Yingzi arrived at Niuxinshan Village.

Yingzi had already informed her parents, so the two elders had been waiting by the bridge for quite some time.

The two elders were both genuine villagers, and they longed for Yingzi to return home soon.

Upon seeing her parents, Yingzi quickly got out of the car and pretended to be angry, saying, "Didn't I already say in my letter that you could just wait for me at home..."

"Don't I know my own house? It's so cold, don't catch a cold..."

Yingzi was wearing a long, hooded down jacket, with a tight-fitting thin sweater underneath, thick pure wool body pants, and a pair of high boots.

This outfit looks both sophisticated and stylish, giving off a refined and elegant vibe.

The two elderly people didn't recognize their daughter for a moment.

"Get in the car!"

Su Mo poked her head out, a smile on her face, "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold..."

"oh oh…"

The two elderly people got into Su Mo's Mercedes-Benz with unease. Seeing this, Su Mo quickly struck up a conversation to ease their awkwardness.

The Mercedes-Benz drove smoothly into the village.

The village, with only a few hundred people, was not large to begin with. When a car drove in, it quickly attracted a lot of attention. When they saw Yingzi's parents in the car, they became even more curious.

Su Mo turned off the engine, Yingzi got out of the car, and greeted the villagers one by one.

"Uncle!"

"Er Jizi!"

"Third Aunt!"

"Oh...it's Yingzi!"

"Yingzi is back from Yanjing..."

The village was not large to begin with, and most of the neighbors were relatives. With Yingzi's return, the village suddenly became lively.

"Little Yingzi has become fairer and prettier..."

"Exactly, just like a movie star!"

"Hey, you guys don't know yet, do you? That young lady Yingzi is now a student at Yenching University!"

"Wow, that dog seems to be looking at me. People from big cities really are smarter than me, even their dogs are more intelligent than mine!"

The villagers greeted her with smiles, and some of the women looked at Yingzi with envy.

Su Mo stopped the car and had Xiao Cun Ding open the trunk to distribute the fruits and snacks he had prepared beforehand, as well as the fine wines to everyone.

Yanzi, who was familiar with Lao Hu and Pangzi, was the son of the old Party Secretary and Yanzi's husband.

Su Mo had met most of the villagers before, so he didn't stand on ceremony and quickly became friends with them.

"Yingzi, this must be your boyfriend, right? He's really handsome!"

"Yingzi, you're really rich! Is that a Mercedes-Benz? My cousin works in Guangdong, and he told me it costs hundreds of thousands of yuan..."

"My God, hundreds of thousands!"

Su Mo offered cigarettes to everyone he met, and more and more people in the village gathered around. Before long, the village's old Party Secretary was alerted.

Supported by Yanzi, the old Party Secretary walked over shakily. Seeing Su Mo, the old man beamed, "Young man, we meet again! Where are those two little rascals, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan…?"

Su Mo explained with a smile, "Old Party Secretary, they couldn't come this time because of other commitments, but they didn't forget you. They specially asked me to bring you a few bottles of Moutai..."

"Hey…"

The old Party Secretary chuckled and scolded, "Those two rascals are doing quite well now, giving gifts of Moutai..."

As he spoke, the old Party Secretary looked at the crowd around him, "Go, go, go home quickly, don't let the younger generation think that we people from Niuxinshan don't know manners..."

Feeling utterly ashamed, the crowd slowly dispersed. Several young people, however, kept turning back to look at Su Mo's Mercedes-Benz, reluctant to leave.

Su Mo laughed and, together with Yingzi, carried the gifts and followed Yanzi and the old Party Secretary's son toward the old Party Secretary's house.

The old Party Secretary grabbed Su Mo's hand and said, "Young man, thanks to you all, the village now has roads repaired. I heard that after the New Year, every household here will also have electricity!"

Su Mo said, "That's great! In a few days, I'll suggest that the electronics factory send over a batch of black and white televisions..."

The group chatted and laughed, creating a lively atmosphere. When they returned to the old Party Secretary's house, his son quickly set up a banquet.

Everyone toasted and drank, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Although Yingzi's parents didn't say much, they stood up straight and looked radiant because of Yingzi and Su Mo.

The drinking continued until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when everyone was quite drunk, and the lively welcoming banquet finally came to an end.

.........

Everyone at the banquet got completely drunk. Yingzi found a young man to drag her father and Su Mo back to their home.

Most of the residents in Niuxinshan live in traditional earthen kang beds. Although the weather is cold, once the kang is heated, it works better than an air conditioner.

Su Mo opened his eyes immediately after being placed in Yingzi's room.

Yingzi stared in surprise at this scene and couldn't help but ask, "You're not drunk?"

Su Mo rubbed his temples and said, "If I didn't pretend to be drunk, would this banquet end so quickly?"

"I'm not going to say anything more..."

Su Mo shook her head. "I've been driving all day, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep..."

As he spoke, he took off his clothes and went straight into the quilt on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Surprisingly, it's actually quite warm!

"Oh!"

Just as Su Mo closed his eyes, he heard a deafening explosion outside.

It was like a mountain being blasted; the ground shook violently!

Even from a distance, Su Mo could feel the house trembling, as if it were about to collapse.

Su Mo frowned, raised his head, and asked, "What happened..."

Outside, Yingzi's mother spoke through the door and window, "A few foreigners came here recently. The old Party Secretary said they want to turn Niuxin Mountain into a tourist attraction..."

"There have been frequent explosions these past few days, but it's nothing to worry about, you'll get used to it..."

"wrong…"

Su Mo sat up abruptly, his eyes flashing, and muttered to himself, "This isn't ordinary explosives...this...this looks like specially made explosives used for tomb raiding!"

Having traveled all over the country and ventured deep into ancient tombs many times, Su Mo, even if he is not as good as Zhang Sanlianzi, the patriarch of several tomb raiders, is much better than Elder Chen, Jin Suanpan and others.

At that moment, he could naturally tell that it was a special explosive used for tomb raiding.
