Chapter 3: The Mysterious Cloth Sack

  Mr. Qin, originally named Qin Huairén, is a graduate student majoring in history at the University of Tangguo's capital city. He has participated in several archaeological excavations with his supervisor from the archaeology department at the Tangguo Historical Research Institute.

  This time the archaeological excavation of the Dongnan Yongxing Wang Tomb is undoubtedly a very important work inspection for him. Because, part of the results of this inspection will become his promotion achievement.

  Seven people went in and out of the ancient tomb for about half an hour. By the time they came out, the outside was already crowded with people, many of whom were looking forward to it with anticipation. Although Qin Huai had reported to the outside through a walkie-talkie while he was still inside the ancient tomb, everyone present still looked at Mr. Qin, who led the team out, with tension.

  "The royal tomb is real! Our discovery will be a major find in the archaeological world of Tang country!" Qin Huairn loudly declared.

  Warm applause erupted, and the archaeological team cheered loudly.

  Just then, a sudden commotion came from beside them amidst all the hubbub.

  "What's going on?" Du Le exclaimed as his arm was suddenly grabbed tightly.

  It turned out that as soon as Du Le and the other two workers walked out of the tomb, several security guards suddenly appeared on both sides, quickly grabbing them and wanting to drag them into a tent next to them. The other two workers were also dissatisfied with this sudden attack and struggled constantly.

  "Why are you arresting people randomly?" The other workers saw the archaeological team's behavior and stood up to protest. After all, they were going to arrest locals, and everyone had some kind of kinship with each other.

  Gangzi's uncle rushed to Du Le's face with a look of discontent, knocking away the security guard's hand that was grabbing him: "What's going on? What did Du Le do, why are you randomly catching people!"

  One of the leaders of the archaeological team came over and explained: "This is to prevent national cultural relics from being lost, we need to inspect them!"

  "What kind of check is this!" Du Le angrily said, "If you don't trust us, then don't let us go in to try and see if there's any danger! Illegal search, do they still care about human rights, do they still care about the law?!" Although Du Le had taken a cloth bag from the king's tomb, he was somewhat lacking in confidence, but people all have self-respect. Can't you just speak nicely, as soon as we come out you search us, treating us like criminals, how can we not be angry!

  At this time, Qin Huairan walked over and said with a hint of meaning: "If you haven't done anything, then don't be afraid of being searched!"

  Du Le felt a deep stab in his heart and angrily said: "Do the things in this king's tomb belong to you? You group of grave robbers still have the face to say I'm guilty! Searching is fine, but I don't believe you. If you want to search, then search here! Who knows if someone will be framed once they enter the tent!"

  Du Le said, without waiting for Qin Huairou's response, whose face was getting increasingly ugly, he directly started to take off his helmet and clothes. "Please let the town government be witness, please let everyone present be witness."

  The other two workers also threw things belonging to the archaeological team on the ground.

  Du Le took off his clothes until he was left with only one pair of underwear, then handed over all the clothes he had taken off to the security guard beside him.

  Under Qin Huai's indication, the security guard checked Du Le's clothes one by one, and soon the tens of dollars in his pocket and a gray cloth bag were also taken out. Du Le's heart couldn't help but relax, it was the first time he had clearly seen this gray cloth bag picked up from Wang's tomb, simple and plain, without even a little pattern on it.

  Perhaps because the canvas bag was unassuming, it didn't attract anyone's attention. The security guard shook his head at Qin Huai Ren, but Qin Huai Ren looked disbelieving, he had clearly seen Du Le crouching down in the ancient tomb, as if picking up something.

  Qin Huairou cast his gaze on Du Le's only fig leaf.

  Du Le's face turned red with rage and he shouted, "Don't go too far!"

  "I'm sure you stole national treasures, you must prove your innocence." Qin Huairan sneered.

  "Is the archaeological team going to take responsibility for this? If not, I demand compensation for my damaged reputation and mental distress." Du Le said directly after the security guard threw his clothes and gray cloth bag to the side on the ground.

  "Right! Compensation!" someone who came with Du Le shouted.

  Qin Huairén felt a bit flustered and involuntarily looked towards the person in charge on the other side, Tang Zisi, the leader of the archaeological team.

  Standing next to Tang Zisi was a government official from Yongxing Town, who also felt that the archaeological team had gone too far and stated: "We must act in accordance with the law and protect citizens' legitimate rights."

  Tang Zisi looked at it and couldn't stay out of the matter, so he looked at Qin Huairan. After getting a definite look from Qin Huairan, he said: "Captain Bao An, come forward to inspect. If there is no problem, the archaeological team will compensate for your losses."

  Security personnel searched them in front of everyone and under others' supervision. After the search, it was announced that Du Le had not taken any cultural relics, nor had the other two workers.

  "Each of you will receive 2,000 yuan in compensation. Alright, disperse now, we still have archaeological work to do." Tang Zisi said with a wave of his hand.

  Du Leqi was still indignant, but she felt stifled in her heart and didn't know what to say.

  The only consolation is that he didn't have to take off his underwear in public.

  But he was just an ordinary person, even if there was injustice, he could only hold it in his heart.

  Upon hearing Tang Zisi's announcement, the other workers all showed envious expressions.

  The archaeological team successfully excavated the entrance of the ancient tomb. After inspecting the incident, the town government quickly paid the workers' wages and dispersed them.

  Some workers didn't want to leave, they just wanted to watch the excitement, even after being dismissed, they didn't leave. But Du Le had no intention of staying on the scene anymore. Having suffered such a great insult, since he couldn't fight back, why would he need to stay and be laughed at by others?

  Du Le put on his clothes, and didn't forget to pick up the grey cloth bag that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Holding the iron shovel, he took the wages in hand and the 2,000 yuan compensation, and left with a dark face.

  Du Le didn't want to go back with the people who came together, walked a section of road, walked to the side of the highway, and waited for a passing minibus to take him directly home.

  Back home, Du Le went straight to the backyard. In the yard, there was a stove with a pot on top and burning firewood below.

  Du Le threw the iron shovel aside, holding a cloth bag in one hand and money in the other, standing in front of the stove.

  Suddenly, Du Le's right hand grasped the money tightly and with a fierce swing of his left hand, he threw the cloth bag into the stove.

  Du Le's eyes widened as he stared at the gray cloth bag in the fire, "It's all because of you that I've been humiliated like this!"

  At this time, Du Le saw a gray cloth bag emitting a wisp of black smoke, rushing towards his forehead.

  "Ah!" Du Le's head was like being hit hard by someone, his eyes went black, he let out a loud cry, and the whole person suddenly fainted to the ground.

  The father who was recuperating at home heard Du Le's miserable cry and rushed out, seeing Du Le lying on the ground, shouting loudly, "Le! What happened? Is anyone there? Come in quickly!"

  Upon hearing her father's shout, the mother who was watching the store at the front of the small shop also rushed in.

  Dule's parents anxiously examined Dule and didn't notice anything unusual nearby.

  "Transporter self-protection emergency program initiated, searching for host..."

  Matching host characteristics, intelligent life confirmed...

  Soul binding confirmed...

  "Soul binding successful."
