Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 406: Mr. Li Yang Bluffed People With Serious Faces
The person who went to investigate only returned after almost an hour.
He said to the two of them, “Some families in this village moved from a small town on the edge of the desert a year ago. Their ancestors were guides to the desert.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly had an idea and asked Li Yan, “Yan, have you found a guide to enter the desert?”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo said, “Why don't we look for another? Since their ancestors were all guides in the desert, they definitely knew many legends about Loulan and knew the streets of the desert.”
Li Yan thought for a moment and nodded. He said to the guard, “Think of a way to invite a driver.”
“Ya sir.”
After the bodyguards left, Chu Luo asked Li Yan, “Yan, when are we going?”
“Wait two days.”
Chu Luo was slightly surprised. “Why waited so long?”
“We will follow others in.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she smiled. “It wasn't too bad. We can monitor the movements of the Duanmu family.”
“Mm.”
When the bodyguards returned this time, Chu Luo and Li Yan had already had lunch.
The bodyguard said to Li Yan, “Master, those people cannot be invited.”
Li Yan frowned. “Then offer more money.”
“We've doubled the price in the circle, but we didn't manage to hire them.”
Li Yan frowned even more.
Chu Luo asked, “How many families in this village have moved from that side?”
“Four.”
Chu Luo thought for a moment. “Because someone from the family went to lead and disappeared, these people would definitely not dare to lead again.”
After all, one's life is more important than making money.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan and said, “Yan, why don't we meet the other three families later?”
Li Yan nodded.
The guard is gone.
Chu Luo had learned the dialect here in the helicopter last night and was a little tired after lunch.
He had originally moved the chair to sit beside Li Yan to accompany him. When Li Yan subconsciously looked at him from his laptop, he saw him propping up his head with his hands as he knocked. He put down his laptop and called him gently, “Luoluo.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo responded in a daze but still did not open her eyes.
Li Yan stood up and led her to the bedroom inside. As he walked, he said, “Go take a nap two hours first. After you wake up, we'll go see those three families.”
“Mm, okay.”
After saying that, Chu Luo tilted her head and fell asleep in her arms.
When Chu Luo woke up, it was already five in the afternoon.
It's darker here than it is in the capital. When the two of them ate, the sky was not yet too dark.
The two of them walked slowly towards the village.
The village is divided into the eastern and western ends of the village. Li Yan's men had bought all the eastern end of the village. There were more than ten families on the west side of the village, but each family was a bit distant from each other.
Today, everyone has gone home to cook or eat.
The two of them walked over but no one saw them.
The two of them walked to a place near one of the houses. The house has a large courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences. In addition to bamboo fences, there are also many thorny shrubs. There are some apple trees in the yard. At this time, there were even apples hanging on the apple tree.
From the courtyard door to the door of the house, there was a one meter wide stone road. There were several plots of farmland beside the stone road.
Such an environment gives people a feeling of peace.
“This family is really good at living.”
Chu Luo sighed and looked at the open door. “In the room it's dark. Why do the lights in their home not turn on?”
As Chu Luo finished speaking, the lights in the house lit up.
Then, he saw four people coming out from behind and sitting at the dining table across the door for dinner.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan. “It looks like we came at the wrong time.”
Just as he finished speaking, one of the children stood up and ran out.
Behind him, the hostess shouted, “Xiao Hu, bring back half a kilogram of wine. If you bring back too much, I'll hit your pant*t.”
“Understanding, Mother.”
The boy dashed out of the courtyard as fast as lightning and ran to the side. He must have run too fast and not seen Chu Luo and Li Yan standing by the side.
Chu Luo nodded and the two of them walked towards another house.
The other family had just started eating as well, so the two of them continued walking.
The last place was Lu Lang's house. Their families must have eaten. At this moment, Lu Lang was bothering his father to pluck an apple for him in the courtyard.
Chu Luo realized that most of the trees in the village were jujube trees. Only a few of these trees are apple trees.
He whispered to Li Yan, “They must be very superstitious. Apple trees imply peace, so they plant apple trees.”
Chu Luo had just finished speaking when Lu Lang, who was jumping under a tree, saw Chu Luo and Li Yan standing outside the courtyard. He quickly said to his father loudly, “Dad, there are guests in our house.”
Lu Feng, who had already climbed onto the apple tree and was about to pluck an apple, jumped down from the tree and walked to the courtyard door. He looked at the two of them vigilantly and asked, “Who are you and why are you in my house?”
Li Yan spoke in a local dialect. “We are here only for holidays. My wife wanted to eat apples, so she came to ask if your family's apples were for sale.”
“You're a local too? City people?”
Chu Luo glanced at Li Yan, who said all this seriously, wondering how he would answer.
“Not really. My family from my father's generation has moved from here.”
Lu Feng raised his guard again.
“I'm in the jade business. I'm here to buy a number of items.”
Chu Luo realized that Lu Feng sighed in relief when he heard this. He said, “Then come in. I'll pick some apples for you.”
“Thank you.”
Li Yan held onto Chu Luo's hand and the two of them followed Lu Feng into the courtyard.
Lu Lang, who was standing under the apple tree, looked at Chu Luo and Li Yan. His eyes clearly said, “They are really handsome.”
Seeing his son standing there foolishly, Lu Feng said to him, “Lang, go inside the house and have your mother take out a basket. I'll pick some apples for two guests.”
Lu Lang actually looked at Chu Luo and Li Yan and subconsciously returned.
Lu Feng smacked his forehead. He suddenly returned to his senses and quickly covered his head as he dashed towards the door without a sound.
After which, Li Yan changed from her cold and reserved self and started talking to Lu Feng about the jade in Green City.
As a local, he definitely knew a lot about jade.
Li Yan spoke skillfully and guided Lu Feng.
Chu Luo stood to the side and listened. At the same time, he secretly chanted a spell and made the mother and daughter pair in the house freeze.
The two chatted for a while. Li Yan intentionally or unintentionally said that as long as there was a way to do the jade business, one could earn money many times over the market price. Lu Feng was obviously a little tempted and wanted to follow Li Yan to the jade market, so he enthusiastically invited Li Yan to have a drink.
Li Yan did not refuse.
Chu Luo erased her magic. Before Li Yan followed him, he plucked an apple from the tree to hold it. The three of them walked towards the door.
Lu Feng said shyly, “Look at me, I forgot to pick an apple for your wife. Why don't I pick a few first?”
“Not needed. I'll eat this one only.”
“Alright,” said Lu Feng and shouted to the door, “Honey, grab a basin filled with water and wash an apple for this mistress.”
A response came from behind. When the three of them entered, they saw a woman carrying half a pot of water.
Lu Lang tugged at his clothes and followed beside him. He wanted to peek at Chu Luo and Li Yan, but he did not dare.
Chu Luo washed the apples and sat on the side, listening to their conversation as she ate.
Lu Feng asked his wife to get him some wine and a plate.
Lady Lu was also a shy woman. After doing all this, he brought Lu Lang inside.
The two of them chatted while drinking. The way Li Yan talked about jade was so reasonable that Lu Feng was astonished. He only treated her as a God of Fortune.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Feng's face had already turned red. After he drank another mouthful of wine, he looked like he had just won a prize.
“If only I had met Brother Qin early. Before, I had always wanted to do the jade business, but I had no connections whatsoever. After suffering two losses, I can only do other small businesses that barely support my family.”
Li Yan promised to take her when the time came. Then, he turned the topic into the recent disappearance of the archaeological team.
At this moment, Lu Feng was already completely caught off guard. He said to him, “Brother Qin, I only said this to you personally because I saw that you are not an outsider. Do you know which tomb the national archaeology team will visit?”
“Yang one?”
“This is an imperial tomb that never returned from anyone. It was cursed by the Heavenly Dao. 18 years ago.
Unexpectedly, 18 years ago, Lu Feng's father had participated in the grave robbery incident and never returned.
“That tomb not only eats humans, but it also has a big impact on future generations. As long as a family participated in the grave robbery, no matter how long time had passed, they would lead a very difficult life, just like us…
Look at me Now. Other than being fed, I really don't have any more wealth or honor left. I heard that the descendants of others did poorly or died miserably.”
Li Yan glanced at Chu Luo and asked with her gaze if it was true.
Chu Luo did not say anything. He could not say for sure about this matter.
Li Yan asked again, “Since your father is a guide, you should also be a guide. Since it's just a guide, it doesn't matter, right?”
