Chapter 1155: Says a Kind Man. Let’s Be Friends
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The entrance’s blocked? Yun Jian asked with a squint.
Yun Jian and her companions had disguised themselves to look like average people. She looked incredibly mediocre except for her slender figure that was left untouched. Yun Jian disguised herself as a girl with freckles and average features—the type that one would not be able to remember no matter how many times one saw her in the crowd. In spite of it, the piercing vibe on her remained.
“Yes.” The middle-aged man had stopped Yun Jian and group to tell them amicably out of a kind heart. After a pause, he introduced himself and explained in detail, “I’m Lou Guodong, an archaeologist.”
“Half a year ago, those who’ve entered the catacomb said that there’s not much treasure in there, so many of them have left. Right, I bet you guys have heard of the catacomb’s old rumor about just entering and never exiting?”
“The myth was debunked by a girl after that as she brought everyone who was in the catacomb out! Only a minority of them refused to leave.”
“But it’s said that there’s nothing there, no treasure whatsoever. Around two months ago, though, someone discovered a jade pendant down there and claimed that it’s from an ancient civilization! So people came here to seek treasure again.”
“It’s a pity that no one found anything ultimately and who’d have thought that there’d be a flood three days ago. The mountain rock collapsed as well and blocked the ancient well that was the catacomb’s entrance!”
“Those in there couldn’t come up and we can’t go in either. Don’t you guys worry, though, the engineers digging the place said that they could dig a new entrance in ten days, haha!”
The middle-aged man, an archaeologist named Lou Guodong, was obviously a kind, pa.s.sionate soul. Even when Yun Jian and pals did not ask, he told them what happened here in detail.
What Lou Guodong did not know was that the person who debunked the catacomb’s myth about n.o.body leaving upon entry and led everyone in there out was Yun Jian.
Back when Yun Jian left Yulong Mainland, those who had been waiting for the stone door to open at the haven in the catacomb that was about the size of a large field followed her out when they saw that she acted like there was no treasure inside. All of them had thought that they had waited in vain; only a small amount of people remained there.
Just two months ago, someone discovered a jade pendant that was from an ancient civilization and was worth a lot of money! Hence, people from around the world who had initially lost the adventurous interest in the catacomb gushed to the destination once more.
Three days ago, however, an accident sealed up the old well that was the catacomb’s entrance.
That was why Lou Guodong and others pitched tents around the well in antic.i.p.ation to go down the catacomb when the engineers dug up a new entrance.
Yun Jian understood what the man said. Since the entrance was blocked, they had no way down. They set up tents as well under Lou Guodong’s kind guidance.
The middle-aged man was truly a kind person. When it came to dinner time, he came over to invite Yun Jian and group. “Do you guys want to have the meal with us? We’ve just set the barbecue rack up. Let’s eat together since we’re already fated to meet here.”
“Thank you,” Yun Jian thanked the man for his kind gesture.
Si Yi held an arm around Yun Jian as they went over to where Lou Guodong’s friends were.
There were a few young people in Lou Guodong’s group of friends. Of course, there were his peers too. A young woman in her twenties who was dressed garishly but looked ugly went up to Yun Jian with a grin when she heard Lou Guodong introducing Yun Jian and friends.
“Hi, I’m Fang Shaoqin. Let’s be friends!” Fang Shaoqin said but thought that there was finally a girl who looked uglier than her!
She had only come up to greet Yun Jian because she felt that she looked so much prettier standing next to the latter.
