Lin Tian was stunned, to be honest, when he saw the figure before him.
Yingzi was beautiful. The first impression she gave Zhang Tian was one of purity.
She was like a white lotus, unsullied by the world, blooming unstained from the mud.
However, Zhang Tian knew well that Yingzi was no white lotus; her hunting skills were formidable.
Her arrows were even more accurate than guns.
This showed Zhang Tian's high regard for her.
At this moment, Yingzi seemed like a little girl.
Upon seeing Hu Bayi, a hint of surprise flickered across her face.
"Brother Bayi, why are you back? And you brought so much with you for everyone!"
Yingzi's voice was laced with surprise and excitement.
She had never seen so many things before, which made Yingzi feel that Brother Bayi had really made something of himself.
"Come, Yingzi, this candy, and these shoes are for you!"
"Bring one for your grandfather too. Oh, and this is Zhang Tian, our elder brother!"
Hu Bayi said enthusiastically.
Yingzi shyly accepted the items Hu Bayi handed her and then smiled faintly at Zhang Tian.
To be honest, she had only eaten candy a few times in her life.
Let alone the peanut brittle and white milk candies of today.
"Yingzi, hello, my name is Zhang Tian. Here, this is for you, it will suit you very well."
As Zhang Tian spoke, he handed the Cuihua dress to Yingzi.
"Yingzi, you'll look absolutely stunning in it!"
"That's right, our Yingzi is nearly a meter seventy tall. This dress will look perfect on her."
The women in the village chimed in.
Yingzi blushed, like a little girl.
Hu Bayi and Fatty stared with wide eyes.
"Old Hu, is this still the Yingzi we know? Girls change so much as they grow up. She's becoming more beautiful by the day."
Fatty couldn't help but remark.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck. He knew he had probably said the wrong thing.
"Ahem, I, your humble servant, believe that the Empress is the most beautiful!"
Fatty quickly corrected himself.
"Indeed, Yingzi is quite a surprise. But as long as she's happy, that's what matters."
Hu Bayi didn't want to drag Yingzi into their affairs. After all, Yingzi was quite pure and had a good life in the village.
Soon, all the items were distributed.
In the eyes of the villagers, Zhang Tian and his companions had suddenly become the most successful people in the village.
"Village Chief, I plan to help our village build a road. What do you think?"
Zhang Tian sat in the Village Chief's house.
He spoke softly.
After he finished speaking, not only the Village Chief, but also Fatty and Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Tian in shock.
"Boss, you?"
Both of them were somewhat bewildered.
"This is my brother's home. As his elder brother, it's only natural that I would help improve it."
"By the way, I noticed that many houses in the village have some porcelain ware in front of them?"
Zhang Tian said, steering the conversation towards porcelain.
Hu Bayi and Fatty's eyes lit up. That's right, porcelain. Perhaps it could fetch a good price.
"Yes, but when the earthquake happened, they were all collected. Only some broken tiles were left."
The Village Chief waved his hand, looking puzzled.
"Back then, a great earthquake unearthed a tomb like a royal palace. Then the experts came."
The villagers recounted the incident.
Zhang Tian no longer had any intention of collecting porcelain.
It was all just scrap metal, useless even if collected.
It was better to spend some money and have them build a road.
"How about this, I'll contribute thirty thousand to improve the village environment. It's my way of helping."
As Zhang Tian spoke, the Village Chief stood up directly.
"Really? Thank you, thank you."
The Village Chief repeatedly expressed his gratitude. Ever since he knew Zhang Tian was wealthy, the Village Chief had become exceptionally enthusiastic.
Afterwards, Zhang Tian and the Village Chief discussed the road construction, and then the group left.
"Boss, why did you decide to build a road?"
As they walked out, Fatty asked, confused.
"Look at this mountain village. The environment is good, but the roads are terrible. Without a road, even getting food is a problem."
"Besides, Old Hu lived here for a while. We should help if we can."
Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi and Fatty looked at Lin Tian with admiration.
"Boss, you're truly generous. Tens of thousands, Fatty is impressed."
Fatty gave a thumbs-up. Zhang Tian paid no attention.
Money was of little use to him now. The allure of money was far less potent than that of treasures.
Meanwhile, after Zhang Tian and his companions returned to their rooms.
The women of the village were gathered together.
The Village Chief was also present.
The women were wearing Cuihua dresses, all gifted by Zhang Tian.
Their faces were flushed, and they gazed at Zhang Tian and his group with envy in their eyes.
"What? Old Village Chief, you're saying that Zhang Tian wants to build a road for our village?"
A woman exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, this person is truly a benevolent benefactor! Not only did he buy us so many things, but he's also building a road. That must cost a fortune, right?"
"If you ask me, Yingzi should make an effort. Maybe she can win over that city slicker."
"Yes, yes, Yingzi is so pretty, she's not inferior to those city people at all."
As the villagers spoke, Yingzi became flustered.
Back in the room, after putting down their belongings, Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Tian.
"Boss, if you're not comfortable sleeping, tell me, and I'll give you my bed."
Hu Bayi said earnestly, fearing Zhang Tian wouldn't be used to the accommodations.
Zhang Tian smiled and waved his hand.
"I can handle this much. Don't worry."
Saying this, Zhang Tian lay down on the bed, waiting for night to fall.
At night.
"Boss, the tomb at Niuxin Mountain is probably gone. But I've thought of a place that should have a major tomb."
Under the cover of night, Hu Bayi spoke.
"Where?"
"Pengyue Gou! Legend has it that wildmen often appear there, and the terrain of the mountains is very strange. I think there's a tomb there."
Hu Bayi said, looking at a map under the kerosene lamp.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"Then we'll go tomorrow. I'm tired today."
With that, Zhang Tian stopped paying attention.
He already knew these things, so there was no need to overthink them.
Unless, as before, two worlds merged, and two major tombs appeared.
Otherwise, Zhang Tian could easily handle it.
"By the way, the ancient tomb at Niuxin Mountain was unearthed by an earthquake. There shouldn't be much to explore inside that tomb."
"And if there are already two ancient tombs here, could there be others?"
Zhang Tian mused.
His heart became slightly wary.
After all, the two worlds had merged. Zhang Tian didn't know if he would encounter a zombie or a ghost.
Soon, under the cloak of night.
Both Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi fell asleep.
As for Fatty, in his dream, he became a coachman.
No, to be precise, he was the one pulling the carriage.
A rope was tied around his neck, and on the carriage sat the princess.
That night, Fatty was exhausted.
The next morning, bright and early, Zhang Tian said a word to the Village Chief, and then he and Hu Bayi, each with a horse, set off towards Pengyue Gou.
On the way, the trio encountered Yingzi. Yingzi had short hair and a bow and arrow on her back.
She looked even more heroic and spirited.
When Yingzi saw Zhang Tian, unusually, her face turned slightly red.
Clearly, the villagers had praised Zhang Tian to the heavens. Yingzi felt somewhat unaccustomed to seeing Zhang Tian now.
Zhang Tian: "???"
What was going on?
He was a decent young man, he hadn't flirted with any respectable women, so why was she blushing?
"The Village Chief asked me to protect you,"
Yingzi said to Hu Bayi.
"Tch, a little girl protecting us? Fatty here is enough!"
Fatty was a bit dismissive of Yingzi. After all, in his eyes, a young girl like Yingzi wouldn't be of much use.
Yingzi didn't say anything. She took out her bow and arrow and shot casually, hitting a rabbit directly.
"Young lady, what excellent archery!"
Fatty was instantly convinced!
"Alright, enough messing around. Let's go."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, then slung his large backpack over his shoulder, patted his horse, and the red horse sped up.
Yingzi looked curiously at Zhang Tian's backpack, it was so large, what was inside?
It seemed to be moving!
