When Gu Shengsheng asked this, the older man didn't dare to say another word.
But the look in his eyes was clear enough. He had indeed dug up a tomb, he just didn't know how to explain it.
He took a sip of tea to compose himself, then said, "It is a tomb, and I know it's wrong. But we didn't dig right into it. We just scraped away some dirt to see. The excavator had already dug there, so I took the chance to pick things up and stored them at the construction site."
"I was thinking... didn't someone find treasure here before? I figured this might be something that person left behind, so I kept it."
Gu Shengsheng: "..."
'So my treasure-finding has set some kind of precedent, has it?'
She explained with a sigh, "That's not how it works. What you did is different in nature from finding that treasure."
"That was digging for treasure. This is excavating an ancient tomb."
