Legend has it that in ancient China, during the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Zhang San who was bold and adventurous. One day, he heard that Qin Shi Huang's tomb was filled with countless gold and silver treasures, and he became greedy and wanted to steal them. He found a group of equally daring friends and together they planned a tomb robbery. They secretly infiltrated Qin Shi Huang's tomb and, after some difficulties, finally found the entrance. They painstakingly opened the tomb door and entered the burial chamber. The chamber was magnificent, filled with gold and silver treasures everywhere. Zhang San and his friends were ecstatic and wanted to take all the treasures away. Just as they were immersed in their joy, an alarm suddenly sounded in the chamber. The tomb guards rushed in and surrounded them. Zhang San and his friends fled in panic, the guards in hot pursuit. In the end, Zhang San and his friends were caught, and their tomb robbery plan was thwarted.
