Tomb Raiding: I Signed a Life-and-Death Pact to Save My Mother

In the early 1990s, wages were 244 yuan, while medical treatment cost thousands. To save my gravely ill mother, I took an underground job introduced by my third uncle and signed a contract pledging my life for 100,000 yuan. When I descended into that eerie ancient tomb and saw the terracotta warriors arranged in formation and an emperor in his coffin, I finally understood: from the moment I signed my name, this deal had sealed my fate on a road of no return.
