Chapter 207: Not Enemies, Not Meeting

The news that an ancient tomb had been dug out at the Suxi Town new town construction site grew wings. The County Cultural Relics Management Institute didn't dare to be slow and urgently requested support from the Municipal Cultural Relics Management Bureau.

Before they arrived, He Jiaxiao arrived first, as if he had popped out of the ground.

During this period, I didn't manage him, and he was happy to be at leisure, following Zeng Dongming up the mountain to hunt rabbits and down the river to touch fish, busy and happy. He solved his three meals a day at Pan Xiaoqin's shop, and at most, he would come to my room to sit for a while every few nights, smoke a few cigarettes, say some words about being happy and not thinking about home, go back and fall asleep, and repeat the previous day's things the next day.

He Jiaxiao's happiness and not thinking about home surprised me. This young master, born with a noble key, grew up in the city, lived in care, seemed to have completely forgotten the city's lights and colors, sounds and colors, dealing with yellow soil and green trees every day, eating coarse tea and light rice, drinking the cheapest beer, free and easy, flying in the sky.

Even the car from the aunt's house had not been driven since coming to Suxi, and a layer of fine dust had already covered the car body.

As soon as He Jiaxiao got out of the car, he rushed to the stone coffin, marveling at it. After touching the thick stone coffin for a turn, he picked up a stone from the ground and knocked it with a crackle.

Guo Wei and I were scared out of our wits and quickly stopped him. He curled his lips indifferently and said contemptuously, "Knocking a few times won't break it! A coffin made of stone, how can it be so easy to break? Why are you all making a fuss?"

Guo Wei didn't speak, looking at me with his eyes. I said sternly, "Jiaxiao, don't be naughty, this is a cultural relic. Cultural relics are precious. If you break it, it won't be good."

He stopped his hand, his eyes glancing at the line of characters on the coffin lid. After looking at it, he lay on the coffin lid, closed his eyes, and touched it carefully with his hands. After touching it for a long time, he stood up straight and said to Guo Wei and me, "You really dug out a treasure!"

In our eyes, He Jiaxiao belonged to a child who was not yet dry behind the ears, so we just took his words as wind in our ears.

I smiled and said, "Jiaxiao, this thing is definitely a treasure. It has been buried underground for I don't know how many years, even if it is a broken bowl, it is a treasure."

He Jiaxiao looked at me and said with a smile, "Brother, I say it is a treasure because this stone coffin has some age, it is a thing from the Three Kingdoms period."

I looked at him in disbelief and said, "Why do you say it is from the Three Kingdoms period?"

"Characters." He pointed to the line of characters on the coffin lid and said, "I not only know it is from the Three Kingdoms period, but I also know that he was an official who repaired roads."

"How do you know?"

"The coffin of the Department County Attendant. There are a few characters behind it that can't be touched." He Jiaxiao said with a smile, "The Department County Attendant was a local official of the Shu Kingdom, a cadre specially responsible for repairing roads, urging grain, and conscripting soldiers."

"You understand these?" My curiosity was greatly aroused, and I looked at my cousin with admiration.

"I don't understand very well either. When I was studying, I liked to read some history books and knew a little bit." He Jiaxiao said conceitedly, "If it weren't for my father's insistence, I would have gone to study archaeology long ago."

Guo Wei leaned over and said, "Little He, I can't see it, you have goods in your stomach."

He Jiaxiao said modestly, "My little goods can't be used for much. But I tell you, judging from the shape and location of this stone coffin, there is definitely not only one here, there should be a tomb group."

"There is a tomb group?" Guo Wei and I exclaimed at the same time.

"Definitely. However, it is estimated that other tombs are not as valuable as this one." He Jiaxiao looked at Laoyingzui and said very positively after looking for a long time, "This place was originally a plank road where Zhang Fei passed troops, and this person was the official who supervised the repair of the plank road." He pointed to the stone coffin and said accurately, "In ancient times, those who were buried in stone coffins were all expressions of thick burial."

Guo Wei and I were startled by what he said, our eyes looking at the ground, as if we were stepping on an ancestor from 1,800 years ago under our feet.

Just as we were uneasy, a sharp sound of braking sounded, and then we saw Chen Meng jump out of the car in a black windbreaker, not looking at anyone, and heading straight for the stone coffin.

Before I could speak, Chen Meng spoke first: "Chen Feng, I heard you dug up a treasure?"

I smiled and said, "What wind blew the great reporter Chen here? They all say that a reporter's nose is sharper than a dog's, and it really lives up to its reputation. Those who should come didn't come, and those who shouldn't come all came."

I sighed, the sons and daughters of the two major leaders of the Municipal Committee gathered here, and in their eyes, we small officials are not even worth an ant.

"What do you mean? Who should come? Who shouldn't come? Did I come wrong?" Chen Meng was aggressive, her eyes sweeping to He Jiaxiao, and she immediately changed to a teasing look: "Yo, Young Master He came first, are you here to excavate or to report the news?"

He Jiaxiao retorted unceremoniously, "Not excavating, and even less qualified to report. I'm watching the fun, isn't that allowed?"

Chen Meng ignored me, took off her sunglasses, stared at He Jiaxiao and said, "If you want to watch the fun, you should go to the Municipal Committee compound to watch, honk the horn a few times in the middle of the night, tell everyone you have a good car, show off, and be rich."

He Jiaxiao was flushed red and white by her words, unable to speak for a long time, a look of anger slowly surging on his face, and he was about to break out.

I quickly laughed and said, "Great reporter Chen came from afar, you've worked hard, why don't you go and rest first?"

"I haven't seen what's inside yet." Chen Meng pointed to the stone coffin and said, "The experts from the Cultural Relics Management Bureau should be arriving soon. Their broken car set off together, but I threw them away and couldn't see their shadows." She laughed loudly without any scruples, stretched out her hand to shake hands with Guo Wei, who had been standing on the side and hadn't spoken.

Guo Wei shook her hand generously and said politely, "Reporter Chen is still concerned about our Suxi affairs in her busy schedule, which is worth thanking."

"I am a reporter, and a reporter is a person who captures social news. Suxi dug up an ancient tomb, this is big news, how can I let others snatch it, right?" Chen Meng flicked her windbreaker, revealing her slender legs, standing prettily like a compass.

"Young Master He, why don't we see it first?" Chen Meng let go of Guo Wei's hand and looked at He Jiaxiao provocatively.

"Okay, as long as you dare to look, I dare to open it." He Jiaxiao didn't show weakness, rolled up his sleeves, took a steel bar from the villager's hand, and made a gesture to pry the stone coffin.

I was so scared that I grabbed his hand and said nervously, "Jiaxiao, don't mess around."

Chen Meng smiled at me and said, "Chen Feng, let go, let's see if he dares to pry it."

He Jiaxiao was flushed with anxiety, grabbed the steel bar from my hand, rushed to the stone coffin, glared at Chen Meng and said, "If I dare to pry it, you have to listen to me."

Chen Meng smiled and said, "Okay, you pry, I'll listen to you."

"Don't go back on your word!"

When Chen Meng heard this, she hesitated for a moment and whispered, "What do you want me to do?"

He Jiaxiao leaned his mouth close to her ear and said word by word, "I want you to be my girlfriend!"

His voice was very low, so low that the people around couldn't hear it clearly. I stood beside He Jiaxiao and heard it clearly in my ears.

Chen Meng blushed, twisted and cursed, "Little brat, dare to tease sister, see if I don't clean you up."

He Jiaxiao saw that he had the upper hand, proudly shook the steel bar in his hand and said, "Don't dare, right?"

Chen Meng frowned, hesitated for a long time, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I promise you."

Before the words fell, the tip of He Jiaxiao's steel bar had been inserted into a fine seam at the junction of the stone coffin. Seeing that it was about to be pried up, Chen Meng grabbed his hand and said nervously, "Enemy, forget it. I admit defeat!"

He Jiaxiao made a gesture to continue to exert force. Hao Qiang, who was standing on the side, looked at me eagerly, and Guo Wei was so surprised that his mouth opened wide.

I had to go over again, grab the steel bar from his hand, throw it on a pile of mud, push He Jiaxiao's back and say, "Why don't you go back?"

He Jiaxiao stood stubbornly without moving. He was 1.8 meters tall, with a strong and powerful body, a handsome appearance, and beautiful eyes. Standing among a pile of villagers, he was a dragon and phoenix among people.

"Brother, don't push me. You can't push me either." He Jiaxiao looked at me with a smile, took out the car key from his pocket and threw it to me, saying, "Brother, you find a way to send the car back to aunt, I'm going back today."

"Where are you going back?"

"Going home."

"Are you walking back?"

"No, there is a car here. Do you still need a woman to drive me?" He Jiaxiao pointed to Chen Meng's car and said loudly, "Someone admitted defeat, I have to give someone face."

I looked at Chen Meng from the side, her face flushed red, and she couldn't speak anymore. ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
