Late at night, I went back to Cha Sisi's house alone. Fortunately, this time I had an oil lamp brought from Zhuo Sang's house.

When I opened the door, I found Cha Sisi sitting on the stool in the front hall, staring straight at the door.

I was startled by Cha Sisi: "Why are you just sitting in front of the door like this? You scared me to death..."

"Why did you help me and my dad pay back the money?"

I was slightly startled. Amao had indeed told her about this, but I didn't expect Cha Sisi to ask me such a direct question.

"I gave you and Uncle Cha money, but you didn't want it. After I learned that your family was in debt that day, I thought that since you didn't want the money, I would help you pay off the debt... Isn't this great?

Uncle Cha, you don’t have to be so tired every day, you can also leave here and go see the outside of the mountains."

Cha Sisi was silent again for a while, and she looked at me with a complicated expression.

After a long time, she sighed, feeling helpless: "My father will definitely not be happy if he finds out. He never likes such help from others... But now that the matter is over, the money has been paid back. I can't go back and ask for it back.

Thank you Zhiqiu..."

"It's me who should thank you."

...

That night I lay down alone on Chayouping's bed to sleep. I have lived in this village for a little over half a month. Although it is not as good as in the city, there are enough lovely people.

I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before I fell asleep.

I dreamed about the dragon in the mountains, which finally swam into the sea. I also dreamed about the butterflies that escaped with the blood jade and the trapped white sand.

This trip to Wulong Mountain made me physically and mentally exhausted, but I also saw a lot of strange things. The trip to Wulong Mountain is also coming to an end. When I wake up early tomorrow morning, I will take a flight back to Xianyang.

After returning to Xianyang, I want to be the first bullet for the Zhang family to enter the field of archeology.

I actually understand that the second brother doesn’t need to worry so much, because most of the foundations of the Zhang family were already torn to pieces in the fight five years ago.

Most of the elders in the family died in the tombs, and those who survived were arrested, imprisoned, and shot. It was the second brother who supported the incomplete Zhang family. He has struggled to support it over the years, and he still wants to completely clean up and revive the Zhang family.

This is all due to my grandfather's influence. He paid attention to the inheritance of the Zhang family bloodline during his lifetime. The second brother has been with my grandfather since he can remember, so my grandfather's spirit has been completely inherited by the second brother.

So much so that the second brother is now stubborn towards the Zhang family.

Back then, he could have taken advantage of his family fortune and started a serious business by himself. Although his life would not be as rich as it is now. But he wouldn't have to hang his head on his belt all the time, and he would have to pray to Buddha for blessing every time he went to work in the fields.

.....

When she woke up the next morning, it was only six o'clock in the morning. Cha Sisi had already woken up. She was holding a knife and was preparing to go to the mountain to chop wood as usual.

"I'm ready to go..."

"Um...oh..."

Cha Sisi's cold attitude made me confused. Looking at her, I felt a little at a loss.

I scratched my head and said, "Would you...want to go down the mountain with us? You are not familiar with the outside world, so you can have someone to take care of you after you go down the mountain."

"Forget it, my father doesn't know about the fact that you paid off the debt for us. Now I'm leaving..."

I nodded and didn't force her anymore.

Afterwards, Cha Sisi went to the mountain to chop firewood, while I folded the clothes Cha Youping gave me and put them on his bed, and then went to Zhuosang's house to find my second brother and the others.

When I arrived at Zhuo Sang's house, I found that the second brother and the others had packed their things and they were sitting in the house smoking.

Seeing me coming, my second brother called me and told me that the flight was at 11 o'clock in the morning. But I still need to give the blood jade to the guys in the logistics hall first and let them transport it back by land, because the blood jade will be checked on the plane during the security check.

It will definitely not pass.

After having breakfast at Zhuosang's house, it was almost eight o'clock when two jeeps drove up from outside the village. Master Cao said that these were the vehicles from the logistics department and they came specifically to pick us up and take away the blood jade.

Before leaving, I went to Cha Sisi's house again and found that neither she nor Cha Yuping was at home. I was a little disappointed and didn't have the chance to say goodbye to them before leaving.

After all of us got in the car, I suddenly saw a figure running toward us quickly from the village. I quickly shouted to the driver: "Stop, stop!"

The driver braked quickly, and I saw clearly that the person was Cha Sisi!

When she ran to our car, I found that she had changed her clothes, from Miao clothes to casual clothes, and she was carrying a bulging cloth bag behind her that looked like it had been sewn by herself.

Panting, Cha Sisi held her knees, took a few breaths, and said to me: "Zhiqiu...can you take me down the mountain with you?"

I was extremely surprised: "Why are you suddenly going down the mountain with us? Have you told Uncle Cha?"

"After my father came back in the morning, I told him that I wanted to go down the mountain, and he supported me... By the way, he also asked me to thank you for paying off our family's debt."

I glanced at my second brother, who just nodded to me gently, then turned his head away and closed his eyes to rest.

"Then stop standing and get in the car..."

Cha Sisi and I got into the same car, and I took a closer look at her. After Cha Sisi changed into casual clothes, it was almost impossible to tell that she was a Miao girl, she looked like a great beauty.

Dawu was also sitting in the same car with us. He joked to Cha Sisi: "Sister Sisi, where are you going after coming down the mountain? Why don't you go back to Shaanxi with me, Mr. Qiu, he will definitely be happy...

You think so, Third Master?"

I was a little embarrassed, so I quickly said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Wherever you want to go down the mountain, I will have someone take you there."

Cha Sisi smiled lightly at me, flipped up her hair and said, "If possible, I would like to go to Xianyang with you..."

...

After getting on the plane, Cha Sisi sat next to me, and I am still in a trance. We were still in the room in Miao Village last night, but within a few hours we had already boarded the plane back to Shaanxi together.

"Zhiqiu, why do they call you brother, second master, and third master? They seem to be older than you two... Is this the complicated generational hierarchy of your Han people?"

Along the way, Dawu and Master Cao were talking to each other, making Cha Sisi confused for a long time because there were so many people on the road, but now that we are alone, she doesn't have so many worries.

"This... has nothing to do with seniority. It's mainly a relationship with status and status. The 'ye' they refer to is not a relationship between juniors and juniors, but a respectful title." I thought for a while and added.

: "Just like in ancient times, the servants of the landlord's family would call the master the master and the young master the young master..."

Cha Sisi nodded thoughtfully. Just when I thought she would let the question go, she suddenly raised her head and asked me: "Actually, you are not an archaeologist at all... Can you tell me the truth?
