Brother Ma took a drag from his cigarette and said, "To be honest with you, we didn't believe this matter was real at first." 0
 
"That's why we didn't notify the Cultural Relics Department and decided to scout the area ourselves." 0
 
"What if the location on the map is fake? Wouldn't that mean we've wasted our time?" 0
 
"Moreover, if we were discovered, wouldn't that lead to an international dispute?" 0
 
A chill ran down my spine! 0
 
Indeed! 0
 
What if they really found the treasure? What would we do then? 0
 
Would we really have to let them take their share? 0
 
sister Yang pulled out the sheepskin map from his bag. 0
 
The map was scrawled with some Xixia characters. 0
 
Those characters indicated the location of the cave where the treasure was hidden. 0
 
I examined it closely and found that the writing was not difficult to decipher. 0
 
However, the coordinates and directional descriptions were rather vague. 0
 
Anyone unfamiliar with ancient maps would surely be confused. 0
 
As for the authenticity of the sheepskin map, that remained uncertain. 0
 
Ni Liping leaned in as well, saying, "Let me take a look!" 0
 
 
She carefully examined the inscription for a while before asking, "What does this actually mean?" 0
 
sister Yang explained, "It mentions a cave." 0
 
"Legend has it that Kozlov and his group hid the treasure inside that cave." 0
 
"And the entrance was blocked by a massive stone." 0
 
"Unless we use explosives to blast it open, there's no way to get inside." 0
 
Ni Liping frowned, "How do we know where this cave is located?" 0
 
sister Yang shook his head, "I have no idea." 0
 
Ni Liping thought for a moment and said, "Have you considered hiring a professional archaeological team to help?" 0
 
sister Yang replied coldly, "No way!" 0
 
Ni Liping asked in confusion, "Why not?" 0
 
sister Yang shot her an incredulous look, "Are you serious?" 0
 
"What if we actually find the treasure? Wouldn't we have to split it with those archaeological teams?" 0
 
"I’m not about to let them take a share!" 0
 
Ni Liping huffed, "Suit yourself." 0
 
"Anyway, I'm just here for the adventure; I don't care about all this nonsense." 0
 
 
She turned and walked away. 0
 
My heart skipped a beat! 0
 
It seemed she didn't know the true purpose of sister Yang and the others either! 0
 
She probably just thought we were here for an adventure. 0
 
sister Yang huffed, "What's wrong with you?" 0
 
"I was just saying it casually. Is it really necessary to get upset?" 0
 
Ni Liping ignored her and wandered around the ruins. 0
 
Brother Ma, smoking a cigarette, said, "Alright, let's think of a solution quickly!" 0
 
sister Yang frowned, "I want to, but we can't find that place right now!" 0
 
Brother Ma pondered for a moment, "Maybe we should just give up." 0
 
"After all, we came to Xiangshui City just to gather material." 0
 
"We can always study that map more thoroughly when we get back!" 0
 
sister Yang seemed reluctant, "But I really want to find those treasures!" 0
 
I hesitated for a moment, "How about I give it a try?" 0
 
sister Yang was taken aback, "Can you do it?" 0
 
 
I nodded, "No problem!" 0
 
"I've been studying Remote Sensing Surveying recently and I have a good understanding of ancient maps." 0
 
"Just give me a little time, and I can decipher the information on this map." 0
 
"And convert it into modern coordinates!" 0
 
sister Yang was instantly thrilled, "That's great!" 0
 
Saying this, she kissed me on the cheek, "Thank you!" 0
 
A slight tremor ran through my heart! 0
 
sister Yang actually kissed me? 0
 
Brother Ma laughed, "Haha, that's wonderful!" 0
 
"Looks like we'll be relying on you this time!" 0
 
I smiled, "No problem!" 0
 
I glanced at Gangzi beside me. 0
 
He was staring at me with a look of resentment. 0
