Chapter 181

nd said faintly, "This is a place of extreme yin energy. It seems like the right place to be. If someone dies and lies here for two thousand years, even their spirit would become corrupted. This maste...We stayed at the Zhao Wang Guest House for the following days. The group of people who left in 1988, as mentioned by the beggar Liu, seemed very mysterious. He inquired on our behalf, and their response was roughly: "If you want to join, you can pay a membership fee, 200,000 yuan to meet."

I think the other party is a bit opportunistic. Our team was quite drained after coming back from Hong Kong Island, and 200,000 isn't a small sum of money.

He shook his head and said, "I wouldn't feel at ease if they didn't charge us. Yun Feng, think about it this way: our lives are worth only a few tens of thousands when divided equally, isn't that worth it"

I still have some savings, setting aside 250,000. 200,000 will be used for the visit fee, and the remaining 50,000 will be used as activity expenses.

Thus, with Liu the beggar as an intermediary, about three days later we met the people from this faction at a hotel.

That day, two middle-aged men in blue sky rescue uniforms came. I met with these two men alone, and I don't know what they talked about in the room. When they left, one of them took away a black plastic bag.

After entering the room, he said to me, "They agreed to help us out of face for Master Liu. Soon, news will be released on the streets, and Changchun will know that we have dealings with Ms. Zhao. In the short term, they should not look for us anymore."

I suspiciously asked, "What's the deal with Zhao Qingwan Who does she think she is to have so much influence"

>

"Well," he chuckled, "Do you know the puppet theater in Beijing"

"The one by the Third Ring Road on Anzhen Bridge"

"Yes, that's just a small part of the Zhao family's assets."

I also asked them to help me find out about Xiaohong's news. They will call me as soon as they have any news, "

"

I was stunned and it took me a while to come to my senses.

If that's the case, then that person must be very powerful....

Puppet Theater might be unfamiliar to many, but I believe most people have heard of the name Peace Hotel...

I guessed some things, but I didn't dare to ask aloud. Some things are better understood in the heart.

These days my head injury has improved a lot, I can basically walk up and down from the wheelchair. Next, we still have one thing to do.

Buy equipment.

Zhao Xuanyan is young and doesn't understand many things yet. We need to buy a lot of things, such as a wind shovel, food, purified water, sleeping bags, tiger claws, fishing nets, compasses, and so on. This is because we are going to Helan Mountain, which is a harsh desert environment with many inaccessible roads. So, my friend and I discussed it and decided to buy a sturdy used car.

Back then, the used car market was very chaotic. It was a highly profitable industry with opaque pricing and a lack of professional third-party appraisal institutions for used cars. Furthermore, genuine buyers who understood car conditions were relatively scarce. Therefore, ordinary people buying used cars would mostly get ripped off.

To illustrate, back then, the most popular cars in northern China were the Alto, Tianjin Xiaoli, Hyundai Sonata, Cherokee (212), Mitsubishi Leopard. As we had a large population and carried many things, we could only afford SUVs. After much deliberation, we decided to buy a used 212 Cherokee from a local dealer.

Liu, a local car salesman in Handan, sold us a used Cherokee for 48,000 yuan. He assured us, "Guys, don't worry, this 212 might be a little beat up, but the biggest advantage is that it has a sturdy chassis and a large fuel tank. It was recommended by someone we know, so rest assured, you won't lose money."

"

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When buying equipment, Zhao Xuanyan really wanted to show off. She kept haggling with the boss, finally making him red-faced and angry. He swore at her, saying, "You little girl are too outrageous! You're killing me!"

After finishing everything, I invited Qin Xiping out for dinner in the evening. We both finalized the general route we would take after departure.

Setting off from Handan, we first travel into Shanxi province. Then, we take the national highway and enter the Jinglan Expressway to reach Yinchuan. From Yinchuan, we head to Danba County.

Qin Xingping is familiar with the road conditions, so we don't worry about getting lost with him leading the way.I've seen quite a few bronze artifacts before, but this shape is the first time I've encountered it, and I don't know what it's called.This is a flat, circular bronze object with a lid that is closed....
