We exited the burial chamber and retraced our steps, following the route Galaxy led us on, back to the entrance of the cave.
With Professor Chen around, I didn't need to remember the way. Of course, without him, remembering wouldn't help; I'd surely get lost.
Upon leaving the ancient tomb, Wang Datou and Liu Laonian hugged each other and wept bitterly. Before coming here, they thought tomb raiding was simple, like digging up graves, and imagined the treasure to be stored like cabbage, potatoes, and radishes in a cellar. They thought they just needed to find the entrance, go down, and grab it.
Crying, Liu Laonian left his last words, asking Wang Datou to take care of his elderly mother in the countryside. Wang Datou agreed wholeheartedly and begged the young people not to call the police. He had a wife and kids to support; if he got arrested, his wife would surely divorce him, remarry with his son, and his son would become someone else's child.
