52: Chapter 52 Embarrassing to Admit
52 -52 Embarrassing to Admit
“It’s not dozens of homeowners, but one of them, ah, forget it, I’ll tell you, but it’s really embarrassing to say it.”
Watching Pig Hu recount his sad past with tears and snot running down his face, Ye Tian listened with keen interest.
By the end, Ye Tian had largely guessed who Pig Hu’s nemesis was.
“I had almost secured that tomb, you know?
Then, out of nowhere, that old geezer knocked all five of us down.
Do you know what we were armed with?
Sapper shovels, which are way more effective than a Luoyang Shovel.
I smacked his head with it.
I didn’t dare use too much force; causing a death would be a huge mess.
I was hoping just to knock him out, but guess what?
Instead of fainting, that old man nearly broke my hand.
His head was as hard as a bloody rock…”
“Iron Head Skill?”
“I guess so.
Who would have thought I’d encounter a master in a place like this?
My boat capsized in the sewer, damn it!” Even now, Pig Hu is still indignant, stamping his foot angrily on the ground.
“So how did you manage to escape?”
“Escape my ass!
No matter what we said, that old man just wouldn’t let us go.
Eventually, I had to name-drop my master Shi Gandang to get him to let me off.
Otherwise, I’d have been sent to jail a long time ago.
Hey, that old man said that he’d let me go this time, but he’d beat me up every time he saw me in the future.
I bet that old geezer is still kicking around.
I won’t go there, not even if you kill me.” Pig Hu’s head shook like a rattle drum.
“I really don’t know if you hit the jackpot, or if you and I are truly fated.
Do you know who I’m taking you to meet this time?”
“Fuck you, damn Ye Tian!” True to his name, Pig Hu slumped to the ground before Ye Tian could even finish speaking, looking like he wouldn’t be able to stand up for quite a while.
Reluctant as he was to go, Ye Tian’s influence was too strong, and with a sorrowful face, Pig Hu arrived at Old Mr.
Liu’s courtyard.
Indeed, old friends are old friends; upon seeing each other, both men smiling despite their combined age of over one hundred and thirty years—except that Pig Hu’s smile was a bitter one.
“Uncle…
no, sir, how have you been?” Pig Hu kept backing away as Old Mr.
Liu approached.
“Well, you’ve got guts, it’s been ten years!
How many ancestral graves have you dug up now?
Your master is a prodigy, but all you’ve learned is grave robbing.
What is it?
Still thinking about King Xiang’s Tomb?
During your absence, quite a few people have had their eyes on that tomb.”
“No, no, no, Old Master, I’m now working with Brother Ye Tian, here to help.”
“Humph, piss off!”
“Alright, I’m going, I’m going.” Pig Hu scurried over to the Chinese toon tree, watching Ye Tian and Old Mr.
Liu enter the house, while the courtyard dog ran under the tree and happily lifted its leg to relieve itself.
Pig Hu looked at the big black dog and cursed inwardly, “Fuck your mother!”
“Ye Tian, how do you know this bastard?
I’m telling you, although this kid has made a bit of a name for himself in the worldly society, he’s really not a good egg.
Digging up people’s ancestral graves is a matter of damaging one’s moral integrity.
Bringing him in might bring fortune or disaster; it’s hard to tell.” Old Mr.
Liu took a drag from his pipe and spoke while looking at the ceiling.
Ye Tian sat on the kang bed, holding a cigarette in his hand, “I think he’s alright.
To speak truthfully, you could say he’s a righteous thief.
As you’ve mentioned, his mentor was quite the figure, yet lived a life of hardship.
Didn’t you also say that old man was quite admirable?
In my view, although Hu Xiaoye may not necessarily inherit his mentor’s legacy, he has only managed to scrape a living over the years.
In essence, he hasn’t stuffed his pockets with the things dug up from the dead.”
“Sigh, who knows?
Anyway, it’s your business, and you can handle it as you see fit.
As for this person, if you wish to keep him, do so.
Later on, I’ll talk to him and see what he thinks.
If he’s just a fair-weather friend, it’s no big deal; I’ll pull him out for you.”
“Up to you.
I only called him here to talk to you about it; I didn’t expect you two to really hit it off.
Oh, by the way, has anyone fallen into that pit last time?”
At this point, Old Mr.
Liu finally put down his pipe, “Yes, but just one person.
They came and left quickly—I have no idea what was going on.”
“Left?
Impossible.
They must be hiding in some corner.
They do have tough bones, not divulging a thing even in death, wasting so much of my effort and needles.
How’s the corpse doing?
The hunters who went up the mountain didn’t find it, did they?”
“Not a chance.
I poured the liquid you gave me over it, and it even blackened the rocks.
The body turned into bloody water, and I covered it with soil.”
“Mm.
That should about do it.
Leave a signal receiver there; it should keep them on tenterhooks.
I really want to see what they are after by coming here.” Ye Tian’s calm eyes suddenly turned fiercely sinister.
“Alright, I’m keeping an eye on the things up the mountain.
You focus on laying the groundwork for your affairs in the city.
Beiping City is right next door, so it’s better for you to be cautious.
Last time you mentioned Gongsun Muyang, he was quite the figure.
After his death, finding someone more formidable than him is going to be tough!
My fear is that they’ll resort to some evil or bizarre methods to deal with you.
Your Uncle Liu, after all, is just a huntsman who occasionally goes hunting in the mountains.
I can deal with beasts no problem, but when it comes to people, I’m afraid my old arms and legs won’t be much help to you.” As he spoke, a faint sadness could be heard in his tone.
“Uncle, your willingness to help me this much is already enough.
These matters should be left to us younger ones.”
The old and the young just sat there, neither uttering a word, until the sun went down.
In the end, it was Ye Tian who left first.
Pig Hu chatted with Old Man Liu all night, even sleeping on the floor.
Sleeping on the ground was no big deal; he was used to sleeping on the ground while grave robbing anyway.
It was just that Old Man Liu’s house always had bugs crawling around, which was quite uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, although Tang Jiaoqian was Gu Yue’s mother, in her heart, she was ultimately reluctant to let her daughter fall for a bar security guard, even if the family’s patriarch had expressed support for him.
The phrase “marriage among equals” may not be as profound as the principles like “the three cardinal guides and the five constant virtues” or “respecting teachers and valuing morals” found in Huaxia’s history, but it is undoubtedly a matrimonial cultural tradition that has been inherited for thousands of years.
Although increasingly scorned by many, it still holds an important position in the cyclical survival laws of large clans.
Within the Gu Family, Gu Yue is that link.
What this link can secure is directly related to the further development of the Gu Family’s future.
Even with an old master at the helm, nobody can predict matters a hundred years into the future, so everyone must make their own plans, including Tang Jiaoqian.
