Lin Hai's intention was also simple, going to the temporary trading point that day was his own private business, not good for Yang Lin and others to know, so he hoped Gu Mei and Qin Sheng wouldn't say it out.

  It's also his own bad luck that they rarely come this way, and there's nothing good in this temporary trading point. The more discerning traders wouldn't go there, but to be on the safe side, Yang Lin had specifically instructed them to behave themselves and avoid running into acquaintances.

  Lin Hai couldn't help it and just came out once, but was caught red-handed by Qin Sheng and Gu Cang.

  Qin Sheng and Gu Mei agreed very readily, without even inquiring into the reasons for doing so.

  Lin Hai smiled and chatted with two people for a while, knowing that Qin Sheng was working in an antique shop. His eyes really showed a hint of enthusiasm, and he also became more affectionate towards Qin Sheng. As a result, he inevitably neglected Gu Mian somewhat.

  Gu Mei didn't mind this either. She wasn't as good at talking nonsense as Qin Sheng, so it was better to let him deal with the old slicker Lin Hai. As for her, she continued to sort out the things she had brought.

  "Jing Jie seems to have been gone for a long time, why hasn't she come back yet?" Gu Ming asked out loud as she finished packing up the things and saw that the sun had already risen to the top of their heads.

  "That's right, how come it's been so long and he still hasn't returned?" Lin Hai seemed to have just reacted, standing up.

  Qin Sheng glanced at Lin Hai: "This place is desolate and uninhabited, Zhang Jing, a woman, has been out for so long and still hasn't returned. Could something have happened to her?"

  When they heard that Zhang Jing might be in trouble, Gu Qing and Lin Hai both became serious.

  "You two wait here, I'll go find her. There are no large beasts around here, just many winding paths. Don't know if she got lost or not." Lin Hai spat on the ground, patted his clothes and prepared to set off.

  Gu Shang felt a little uneasy and moved again, realizing that they didn't come here for an outdoor trip. If something really happened, it wouldn't be just a joke.

  Qin Sheng noticed Gu Mian's unease and hastily gave her a reassuring look, temporarily calming her down without mentioning the matter of going out to find someone with Lin Hai.

  "What are you doing?" Just then, Zhang Jing, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly returned to the camp with a large pile of things in his arms.

  "Zhang Jing, where have you been? We haven't seen you for so long and thought something had happened to you. We were just about to go out and look for you!" Lin Hai's face lit up with a hint of joy as he hastily approached Zhang Jing.

  Zhang Jing directly stuffed the things in her arms into Lin Hai's hands: "Didn't go anywhere. Just wandered around nearby, happened to see some wild fruit and picked it up. Speaking of which, I just saw a wild rabbit. But I didn't catch it."

  "Ah, I didn't expect to still find wild fruit at this time." Lin Hai casually picked up a fruit and wiped it clean before putting it in his mouth: "Hmm, tastes good, quite sweet."

  "Don't just eat by yourself. Take the things to the water's edge and wash them, it's also good for sharing with Little Gu and the others." Zhang Jing said with a smile.

  Gu Mei saw Zhang Jing return safely. She let out a sigh of relief: "No need, I've just finished what I was doing with my hands, give me the fruit and I'll go wash."

  "How can this be." Lin Hai shook his head.

  "Give it to us, we're going to the water's edge to fetch some water." Qin Sheng stepped forward two steps, directly took the wild fruit from Lin Hai, and then nodded at Gu Mian before walking towards the water's edge by himself.

  Gu Mei saw the situation and smiled at Zhang Jing and Lin Hai, then quickened her pace to catch up.

  What is called a waterside is actually just a small stream flowing all the time, let alone jumping in to take a bath. Even washing your hands requires waiting for a while.

  Qin Sheng arrived at the stream and carefully washed the fruit, then tossed each one into a small basin he had brought along.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Mian had noticed the look Qin Sheng gave her before he left. [Cotton Candy]

  "Zhang Jing and them have a problem." Qin Sheng looked around cautiously to make sure no one was eavesdropping before whispering to Gu Mian.

  Gu Mei was taken aback for a moment, then immediately put on an air of nonchalance. She asked: "What's wrong?"

  "She said she just went for a walk nearby and picked some fruit, but that's not true." Qin Sheng said, picking up a wild fruit and holding it in front of Gu Mei: "I've seen this kind of fruit before, it grows on relatively tall trees. Zhang Jing is about your height, if you want to pick it, you can't do it without climbing the tree, but there's no sign of her climbing on her body. When she left, what was she like? When she came back, what was she still like?"

  "Are you saying that there's someone else who picked the fruit? How come you didn't think of the possibility that she used something to knock it down, or that it was originally fallen on the ground?" Gu Mian asked.

  "Look at this fruit stem, it's neither fallen off nor knocked off by something, but was pinched off by hand." Qin Sheng put the wild fruit into Gu Mei's hands.

  Gu Mei picked up the wild fruit and took a closer look, and indeed there were very obvious pinch marks on it. Moreover, these pinch marks were quite new, apparently the fruit had just been picked not long ago.

  There were only 10 people in total, and 4 of them went ahead to scout out the situation. Excluding two support staff members, there was only Gu Xiang, Qin Sheng, Lin Hai, and Zhang Jing left. Except for Zhang Jing, everyone else had been within sight and hadn't disappeared. If this wild fruit wasn't picked by Zhang Jing herself, then it could only mean one thing - the fruit was picked by someone else.

  "What's going on? Mr. Qiao and Gao Wei followed Yang Lin and the others to the front, will something happen?" Gu Mian frowned tightly, asking with a hint of concern.

  Qin Sheng was not in a hurry, and instead comforted him by saying: "Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems. If something were to happen, it wouldn't wait until now. In my opinion, our safety should be fine, and we have more people now. It's just that I don't know what Zhang Jing and the others want to do."

  "So you think Lin Hai knows about this?" Gu Mei thought of Lin Hai's anxious expression after knowing that Zhang Jing had not returned, which didn't seem fake.

  "That's something only he knows." Qin Sheng saw that the water in the bucket was almost full, so he picked it up and turned to remind Gu Mian: "When we get back later, just pretend nothing happened. Mr. Qiao and the others should be back soon, and I'll talk to him then."

  "Mm." Gu Ming nodded.

  It was inevitable that they would arouse suspicion, and soon the two of them didn't linger any longer. After washing the fruit, they followed Qin Sheng back to the camp.

  Zhang Jing brought back a lot of wild fruit, and the few people shared some to eat, leaving the rest for Mr. Qiao and others to eat when they returned. Originally thought that Mr. Qiao and others would return by noon, after all, they left early in the morning, but unexpectedly, it was already past lunchtime, and they still hadn't returned.

  "Qin Sheng, Mr. Qiao hasn't come back yet..." Gu Ming felt his eyelids twitching, wondering if something would happen, and his heart was a bit uneasy.

  Qin Sheng occasionally raised his head to look at the sky: "Don't worry, there should be no problem. Mr. Qiao and Gao Wei have signal flares on them. If they encounter danger, they will give a warning."

  This Gu Miao also knew, because she was also equipped with the same signal flares, but knowing that someone would return was one thing, and not seeing anyone come back was another.

  There is no mobile phone signal in this place, even if you want to contact someone, it's not possible. Qin Sheng tried using a wireless radio to contact, but didn't get any response, as if something was interfering with the signal.

  Time passed slowly amidst everyone's anxiety, and just as night was about to fall, Mr. Qiao and his group finally returned.

  Four people except for being a bit dirty, seemed to have rolled over in the pit, there were no injuries. Mr. Qiao's face had a few points of fatigue, but his expression was extremely clear-headed.

  They came back and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before announcing some shocking news. The place they were going to investigate had already been found, but it had been dug up by someone else. Now the whole area is in shambles, and the situation is worrying.

  This news shocked everyone, and Zhang Jing was even more surprised, hastily asking Yang Lin: "What's going on? When we came last time, it was clearly fine here, and the location wasn't even clear. How did someone else dig it up in such a short time?"

  Yang Lin lit a cigarette, looking somewhat annoyed: "Maybe our previous actions were discovered by someone, today we went down to take a look, that side is a big tomb, many things inside are gone."

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, they had worked hard for half a day, only to find out when they arrived at their destination that someone had already been there before them. Hadn't they come on this trip in vain!

  The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.

  "Tomorrow morning, we'll go there again together. I took a look today and felt that something was off. Judging from the style of the large tomb, it should be a tomb from before or after the Qin Dynasty. The style is similar to that of the Korean nobility who were destroyed by the Qin State. Although some parts have been damaged by violent means, for some reason, there are still some places that haven't been damaged." Mr. Qiao said slowly.

  Gu Mei's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and subconsciously looked in Mr. Qiao's direction. She remembered that Professor Wang had mentioned before that Mr. Qiao was not only a master in the field of appraisal but also an expert in archaeology, especially having a deeper understanding of various cultural histories before and after the Qin Dynasty.

  This time they came to investigate, but before they even started, they heard the news that someone had beaten them to it. Mr. Qiao said that the large tomb belonged to the State of Han, which was destroyed by Qin, and there were also problems on Zhang Jing's side. Apart from their 10 people, there were others here as well.

  Isn't this a bit too coincidental?
