Seeing that Xiao Juan was genuinely concerned about Uncle Mei and Jiang Yongguang, I didn't hide anything. I told her, "Don't worry, both of those uncles are in the hospital recovering. Their lives aren't in danger. The bad guys who hit them with their car got their comeuppance too. Serves them right."

Xiao Juan nodded after listening and said to us while eating her noodles, "Actually, your line of work is pretty dangerous too. If you're not careful, you'll end up in the hands of tomb raiders. I remember a group of tomb raiders came to the city a few years ago. They were ruthless. They buried four or five of you public servants alive on South Mountain…"

"Really? That happened?" I was shocked and quickly asked.

"Of course, it's true! I even went to the scene when they discovered the remains. I heard that they originally went into the tomb to catch the tomb raiders, but they didn't expect the tomb raiders to be hiding in the woods next to the tomb entrance. After those public servants went down, the tomb raiders filled the entrance with a few shovels of dirt. The public servants were buried inside. When they were dug out later, their bodies had already rotted."

Xiao Juan described it vividly.

Her boyfriend was eating noodles, but when he heard this, he almost threw up with a "wah" sound. He lost his appetite for the noodles.

He glared at Xiao Juan a little unhappily and muttered, "I'm still eating noodles here. Can you not talk about such disgusting things?"

Xiao Juan stuck her tongue out at her boyfriend and said with a smile, "Sorry."

Then she turned to Xiao Liang and me and said softly, "You must be careful when you catch tomb raiders. Don't get buried alive by them. I know you're both good people. I don't want anything to happen to you."

I nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, we're very clever. Nothing will happen."

Xiao Liang also smiled and said, "Xiao Juan, don't worry."

While chatting, I glanced at the time. It was already past five o'clock.

In a little while, the sun might set.

But Lao Wei hadn't called me yet, which meant they hadn't been able to find the Divine Immortal Cave left behind by the White-Clothed Immortal Maiden.

This made me a little anxious because if we couldn't find the Divine Immortal Cave today, we would have to delay rescuing Sister Xiao Mei for another day and night.

At this moment, I had a flash of inspiration and suddenly looked at Xiao Juan across from me and asked, "By the way, Xiao Juan, are you familiar with South Mountain?"

Xiao Juan immediately said with a smile, "Are you kidding? I grew up running wild on South Mountain. No one knows South Mountain better than me!"

"That's great!" I said immediately, "It's like this, some of my colleagues are currently looking for a tomb on South Mountain, but they haven't been able to find it. Do you know where this tomb is?"

When Xiao Juan heard this, she immediately counted on her fingers and said, "There are twenty or thirty tombs of various sizes on South Mountain. Which one are you looking for?"

When Xiao Liang and I heard this, we were shocked on the spot!

There were actually so many tombs on South Mountain!

I asked with some disbelief, "Xiao Juan, are you bragging? There are so many tombs on South Mountain? Twenty or thirty?"

Xiao Juan raised her chin, looking like an expert, and said, "Didn't I tell you? Several groups of tomb raiders come to South Mountain every year. These tomb raiders definitely aren't here for sightseeing. Each group has to leave behind one or two tombs. Is twenty or thirty tombs a lot?"

I nodded after listening. What Xiao Juan said made sense.

It seemed that the secret of Qu Shang Ancient City on South Mountain might have been discovered by people in the tomb raiding business a long time ago, which is why so many tomb raiders visited this godforsaken little county town every year.

This time, it wasn't a coincidence that we ran into Silver Ring Snake, Liu Huangshu, and Big Hand. It was purely because Qu Shang Ancient City was too attractive.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Juan couldn't help but urge, "Hey, which tomb are you looking for? Tell me!"

I thought about it, but I didn't know how to describe it to Xiao Juan. I couldn't tell her, "I'm looking for the Divine Immortal Cave that leads directly to the Crystal Palace," could I?

At the critical moment, Xiao Liang was still clever. She immediately said, "We're looking for a tomb that was recently dug. The location of this tomb should be in the middle of South Mountain."

After listening, Xiao Juan frowned and said, "A newly dug tomb, huh? Then I might not have seen it yet. I haven't been to South Mountain these past few days…"

We were a little disappointed after listening. It seemed that we couldn't count on Xiao Juan this time.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Juan put down her chopsticks and said very righteously, "How about this? I'll go to South Mountain with you later. I'm more familiar with South Mountain than you are. I'll help you find it."

I was happy when I heard this and said excitedly, "Really? You're willing to help?"

Xiao Juan said with a smile, "Why wouldn't I be willing? Our teacher said that everyone is responsible for protecting cultural relics. He also said that tomb raiders cause devastating damage to cultural relics. Helping you find tombs and catch tomb raiders is the same as protecting cultural relics."

Xiao Liang immediately gave the little girl a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Juan is really a good kid. Her values are very positive!"

But at this time, Xiao Juan's boyfriend seemed a little worried. He whispered to Xiao Juan, "Xiao Juan, we have a lot of homework today. The physics teacher left us two sets of papers to do. Did you forget?"

Xiao Juan said with an indifferent expression, "It's okay, you go home and do them. Just let me copy yours during morning self-study tomorrow morning."

Her boyfriend disagreed and shook his head, "No, if you go to South Mountain, I'll go with you too."

Xiao Juan rolled her eyes at him and muttered in a low voice, "Tagalong!"

While the two young lovers were talking, I went to the counter to pay the bill and paid for Xiao Juan and her little boyfriend's meals as well, considering it a little reward for their help.

After paying the bill, I called Lao Wei. No one answered the first two times, but Lao Wei finally answered on the third call.

After answering the phone, Lao Wei said a little guiltily, "I'm sorry, Xiao Chen, we still haven't found that Divine Immortal Cave. I guess it's hopeless for today. I'll set off first thing tomorrow morning and definitely find the Divine Immortal Cave as soon as possible! Don't worry! It definitely won't delay rescuing Xiao Mei!"

After listening, I quickly said, "It's okay, Lao Wei, don't give up hope. It's like this, I just found a guide locally who is very familiar with the environment of South Mountain. She said that there are twenty or thirty tombs on South Mountain, and she knows all of them. I'll take her over to take a look, how about it?"

Lao Wei was probably frantically searching and readily agreed when he heard that I had found a "guide."

"That's great! That's great! Where are you now? I'll send someone over to pick you up now!"

I said, "I'm in a noodle shop across from the hotel where we're staying. Send a car over. We'll wait by the side of the road."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there in twenty minutes!" Lao Wei said with a smile and hung up the phone.
