Inside the coffin, aside from the skeleton, there really were many valuable items.

The Jade Morning Pearl, a gold snuff dish, thumb rings, jade Ruyi scepters, emeralds, gemstone rings, and what surprised Lin Mo the most was that there were even a pair of glasses and a pocket watch, items that were relatively modern.

What surprised Lin Mo even more was,

between the legs of the skeleton, there was a brocade pouch, inside of which was something that looked a lot like cured meat.

Hmm?

Lin Mo looked closely, and suddenly he understood the identity of the tomb’s occupant—it was likely with great probability a eunuch from the palace.

In an instant, everything became clear.

No wonder he had so many fine items,

After searching for a while, Lin Mo found that other than the item in the brocade pouch, there were no other texts or things that could indirectly prove the identity of the tomb’s owner.

They were mostly valuable burial items, and many of them were women’s accessories.

One could probably guess that these items might not have originally belonged to the tomb’s owner.

Of course, guessing the specific identity of the tomb’s owner wasn’t important.

After all, Lin Mo wasn’t there to do archaeology; there was no need to know everything so clearly.

Taking away these valuable items, that was his ultimate goal.

After taking out all the items, Lin Mo continued to search the tomb for any hidden compartments or overlooked information.

Eventually, he could confirm that the entire wall behind the tomb chamber was solid and that there was probably no other space.

There were many burial items, and it took Lin Mo several trips to finally move most of the stuff from the ancient well to the basement under the self-built house.

Because the broken stone slab was too small and it was difficult to move items by himself, he did not touch the bigger pieces that seemed to be of little value; he mainly took items like jade, agate, rings, knives, and swords.

Even so, the quantity was still very shocking.

After busying himself for half a day, when Lin Mo finally climbed out of the ancient well for the last time, his hands couldn’t help but tremble.

Too tired!

He had to climb up and down, and also pass through the narrow tomb passage, where most of the time he couldn’t even straighten his back.

This feeling was much more exhausting than carrying floors before.

Plus, as his excitement cooled down, and he hadn’t eaten for the better part of the day, so, after moving all the burial items, Lin Mo now just wanted to collapse on the ground and have a good sleep.

“Phew…”

“That’ll do for now, I still need to reinforce the well cap, fill in the big hole I dug, and cover up all the evidence, but that’s not a day’s work.”

Lin Mo rested on the steps for a while, and after catching his breath, he then walked out of the basement.

As soon as he reached the first floor, the glaring light from outside made him squint, blurring his vision and giving him a sense of bewilderment as if ages had passed.

He looked at the time, wow, more than a dozen hours had passed since he last entered the basement.

There were also many messages on his phone.

Hai Dong had sent him quite a few messages, and on the deep-web software, Chen Shanhe had also sent messages.

But most of the messages were from his family back home.

“I can’t take it anymore, too tired.”

“I’ll rest first, whatever it is, I’ll deal with it after I wake up!”

After a glance, seeing no messages that required immediate response, Lin Mo put down his phone.

Right now, he simply had no energy to chat with anyone, let alone to strategize with Chen Shanhe; it was already a small miracle that he hadn’t fallen asleep standing up.

Upon returning to the second floor bathroom, he took a quick shower, changed into clean pajamas, then collapsed into bed and fell sound asleep.

…..

He slept for a very long time.

When Lin Mo finally opened his eyes again, it was early morning the next day.

The 24 hours agreed upon with Chen Shanhe had also passed by several hours.

But there was no need to rush, Chen Shanhe should be the one anxious, not Lin Mo.

Dragging his tired body out of bed, he freshened up, and first made himself a big steaming bowl of instant noodles with two eggs. After eating, his sense of fatigue and heaviness dissipated a lot.

Afterward, he went down to the basement to take photos of the treasures and, using the cover of night, packed everything into a suitcase and placed it in the van in the yard.

He still had some money on hand, so there was no rush to sell the items; he could gradually sell them off later.

By the time he had finished all his tasks, the day had also brightened up.

Today was good weather, without much wind, and the early morning sun felt quite warm.

Lin Mo returned to the bedroom, took a deep breath by the window, and enjoyed the view outside for a while.

Gazing into the distance at Qinglong Mountain, he then ordered breakfast delivery for himself.

After all this, he finally collected his thoughts and started to check the numerous messages he had received throughout the day.

He first checked the messages from his family, which were mainly reminders to keep warm outside, eat on time, wear masks when going out, and not to get cold or hungry. They also reminded him that the New Year was approaching and to buy a ticket home early if possible.

This year would be the first time in many years that they would celebrate the New Year back in their hometown, and there was a lot to do.

Li Jinwen had sent him many videos of home, with red lanterns hung up on the roads, and the villagers who went out to work were gradually returning, with the children setting off firecrackers, slowly bringing about a festive atmosphere.

Then came the messages from Hai Dong.
