Chapter 107: Entering the Tomb
Bai Hongtu paused for a moment in thought. “Whether it was proper business or not, I’m not entirely sure, but it definitely wasn’t the kind of tomb-raiding business you’re thinking of.”
Li Yanchu nodded. “Fair enough. Otherwise, you’d be bringing along something like a Luoyang shovel[1].”
Bai Hongtu froze, then pulled a Luoyang shovel out of his bundle and grinned. “How’d you know I brought one?”
Li Yanchu looked surprised. “You actually know how to use a Luoyang shovel?”
The Luoyang shovel was a common tool among tomb raiders. With just one cylinder of soil, an experienced hand can determine whether there’s a tomb underground, what era it’s from, what kind of chamber lies beneath, and even infer the tomb owner's status.
“Of course not! How would I know how to use that thing?” Bai Hongtu said, dead serious.
“...” Li Yanchu.
“If you don’t know how to use it, then why bring it?”
“It came in a set! When I bought the black donkey hoof, the seller recommended it to me. Said it was cheaper than buying the items separately,” Bai Hongtu replied cheerfully.
Li Yanchu couldn’t help but laugh. “You have an older brother in the family, right?”
Hearing his question, Bai Hongtu blinked, then nodded. “Yeah, I’m the second son. Why?”
Li Yanchu gave a slight nod. “Good. That means the Bai family legacy is safe.”
