“No, no, no. We’re in public. It’s not good to be touchy.”
“Tsk, you still care about this?”
“All things considered, I still have a reputation to maintain. If you want to do these sorts of things it’ll have to be in private.”
“You’re not fun at all.”
Lin Yi smiled and stopped teasing Yan Ci. “We’re almost done. The filming should start soon.”
Yan Ci combed her hair that was messed up by the wind and said,
“I found a good spot here, about five kilometers from Happiness Village. There’s a mountain called Tianbao Mountain, and it has hazelnut trees on top. We can use it as a scenic spot for the program, but the road is not in good condition. I’ve asked someone to fix it up. Since you have nothing to do, why don’t you come with me to take a look?”
“There’s a mountain here?” Lin Yi was a little surprised. “I’ve lived here for so long, but this is the first time I’ve learned that there’s a mountain nearby.”
“You always adopt a ‘mind your own business, high and mighty’ attitude, not caring about anything that doesn’t concern you,” Yan Ci teased.
“Well, that’s not entirely true. It depends on whose business it is,” Lin Yi replied. “But I won’t accompany you this time; I have other work to do.”
“What kind of work?”
“I need to wash the pigsty.”
“I’ve already asked someone to help you clean it. You don’t have to worry about such a small matter.”
“Really? Are you really the complete package? Not only did I sleep with you, but you also helped clean the pigsty?”
“It’s because the smell was too strong. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I helped you. Don’t pretend to be so gracious after taking advantage of me.”
“Then let’s go. I have nothing else to do.”
Then, under Yan Ci’s command, the two of them arrived at the foot of Tianbao Mountain.
Lin Yi was surprised to find that this place wasn’t bad. There was a small stream winding past the foot of the mountain, and the mountain was filled with hazelnut trees. Although it wasn’t tall, it was quite nice.
At the foot of the mountain, two excavators and two trucks were loading and unloading the residual soil on the ground. They were working on making the path more solid.
However, what was interesting was that the people driving the excavator were Zhang Hoping and Gao Haoyu.
“You actually brought them here?”
“I didn’t want to ask them for help at first, but I told Mayor Gao my thoughts. He said that this was a good thing for Four Corner Town. Coincidentally, the two of them know how to operate an excavator, so they were sent to help.”
“They truly live up to the names ‘hidden talents’ and ‘rising stars.’ With their assistance, this show is bound to be a huge success. It’s hard to imagine it not becoming popular.”
“Hoping, wait a minute. You seem to have dug up something!”
Gao Haoyu’s exclamation made Zhang Hoping stop what he was doing. With a cigarette in his mouth, he stuck his head out.
Zhang Hoping brushed his bangs off his forehead. At this moment, it was as if the wind in the world was blowing for him alone.
In terms of looks, Lin Yi believed that he was better than Zhang Hoping.
However, when it came to temperament, he indeed felt inferior, as Zhang Heping had a way of keeping him in check.
Some things are truly innate and cannot be hidden, even if one comes from a humble background.
“What’s wrong? Did we dig up an ancient tomb?” Zhang Heping said.
“I heard from the old man at home that there’s a Tang Dynasty minister’s tomb buried under Tianbao Mountain. Could I have dug it up?”
“Oh? Then won’t we be rich? Let’s go down and take a look.” Zhang Haoyu climbed off the excavator excitedly. “I’ve just finished reading the Grave Robber’s Chronicles recently. I still remember the plot.”
“The heavens are really helping me.” Zhang Heping threw away the cigarette butt excitedly. “I just prepared a Luoyang shovel. It’s going to come in handy now.”
Seeing how excited the two of them were, Lin Yi and Yan Ci were also a little stunned.
If they really dug up an ancient tomb, it would be exciting.
At the thought of this, the two of them quickened their pace and jogged toward the construction site.
The four of them gathered together and looked at the state of the ground. They were all silent.
“What are these black things?” Gao Haoyu asked.
“It looks like a cable,” Zhang Heping said.
“That’s impossible. There shouldn’t have been electricity during the Tang Dynasty.”
“I don’t know much about history, but it’s said that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. Perhaps there really was electricity,” Zhang Heping said seriously.
“Then this minister is too amazing. He actually laid a cable in his tomb,” Gao Haoyu said matter-of-factly.
“According to my guess, this person has to be at least a prime minister. Otherwise, it’s impossible for him to receive such treatment.”
Hearing the two of them speculating about the situation in front of them, Yan Ci’s face darkened.
She approached Lin Yi and whispered,
“You said they are hidden talents and rising stars? But what kind of hidden talents and rising stars act like this?”
“Well…”
Lin Yi pinched his brow, feeling that this matter was a little f*cked up.
