After staying one night with the tribe, the next day, Li Du returned to the cave. He realized that several men were moving the rocks.
Shocked, he asked Old Martin, "Thomas, what are you guys doing? Are you planning to dig out the rock paintings and move them away?"
A man beside him heard Li Du, rolled his eyes and said, "We are archaeologists, not pirates. How would we do that? That's an insult to us!"
Li Du pursed his lips and said, "How often have you guys hidden behind the title of an archaeologist? Who stole the flying mural of our Mogao Grottoes in China?"
"The Europeans, not us," Old Martin said.
The man with the mustache glared at him and said, "What an insult!"
After this exchange, the conversation veered back to the topic. Old Martin said emphatically, "Your discovery is really amazing. Do you know what else we found in the cave?"
