Next chapter
It's comfortable to live here, if it weren't for Mother Lin's phone calls one after another, Lin Xiaotong wouldn't want to go back.
Before leaving, she brought three large watermelons, a pound of monkeys, and two pots of orchids. Fortunately, it is a free ride for tourists, otherwise it is necessary to take the shuttle bus.
The two pots of orchids are in Liu Daodao's courtyard as a tribute to his future father-in-law. Originally, Lin Xiaotong was troublesome and didn't want to take it, but he persuaded him for a long time to reluctantly dig two plants.
Who knew that just two hours later, Lin Xiaotong called again and asked where the orchid was dug from.
"It's in the mountains behind the village, what's wrong?" asked Liu Daodao, puzzled.
"A few of my dad's colleagues are here, saying you're a mutated orchid...... One plant in the flower market can be sold for nearly 2,000 yuan. Let my dad even out a plant at this time. My dad won't say yes...... Let me tell you, take care of the remaining orchids, don't let the scalpers eat them......" Lin Xiaotong told on the phone.
"Really, it's worth two thousand yuan?" Liu Daode listened to Xuanhu. He is not unaware of the information about sky-high orchids, and there are constant reports on newspapers and television, and an orchid is tens of thousands, or even millions. However, he usually looks at such news and passes, and feels very far away from himself. A piece was planted in the cold courtyard, which made him a little blindsided.
What's that...... Thousands of orchids, Liu Daode already thinks that it is sky-high. It's not worth it no matter how you look at it, it's nothing more than a little markings on the leaves...... Nothing special.
Liu Daode doesn't know much about orchids. Hanging up the phone, he squatted beside Chen Thorn and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything good about this orchid.
In the end, he came to a conclusion: he is a layman, and he really has nothing to do with orchids.
This matter can be regarded as a wake-up call for him, and he must be cautious about using incense in the future, otherwise he may be given a fierce attack at some point. However, it is an unexpected joy to be able to please the old man.
The orchid in front of you still needs to be protected, don't really let the cow gnaw it...... Now they are worth more than a cow. Dad Lin has already told people that he will send a courier to sell it in a few days, and at least a few thousand will come in.
Things have come to this point, Liu Daode didn't think about destroying the remaining orchids, and just let it be. He is not strong about money, but there is no reason to refuse it when it is delivered to the door.
It is regarded as a small fortune, and in his eyes, it is no different from selling two boxes of eggs.
Except for orchids, Liu Daodao's life has not changed much during this time. On the contrary, in the village, there are always a lot of tourists during this time. Hedong Liu Village has been caught by tourists constantly uploading to the Wuning City Forum, and after a little time of brewing, it is now starting to become hot. Every night, the village is constantly lit up and noisy until one or two o'clock in the morning.
Most of the tourists caught the picture for fun, and went home to eat it themselves. There are also a small number of them sold directly on the river embankment, not to mention, they really earn a fare.
Of course, tourists are willing to come to Liu Village in Hedong not only because they know the monkeys, but more importantly, because of the environment. The trees here are lush and green, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the summer temperature is obviously much lower than that of the city, which is a bit of a summer resort.
As far as Liu Daode knows, many elderly people have used this place as a nursing home. I also want to buy a piece of land to build a house to live in like Mr. Guo.
There was nothing to do in the morning, Liu Daode was going to play chess at Liu Laosan's place, but who knew that he was arrested as soon as he entered the village...... Liu Daojun shouted for help.
"You wait a while, I also called the third brother, he will come over immediately" Liu Daojun handed over a red flag channel.
"Don't smoke" Liu Daode waved his hand and asked, "What's the matter, you need the three of us to go on together, and you have to drive a hand-held tractor?"
"Go to Pimple Ridge to move a stone, it weighs two or three hundred pounds. Liu Daojun replied.
Without waiting for Liu Daode to speak, a voice came from behind, "It's a hot day, your baby called me to move stones, I knew I wouldn't come." ”
"Just a stone, soon"
"What are you going to do with the stones?" asked Liu Daodao, puzzled. If the whole vehicle is pulled, it may be to build a house...... This is not unusual, in the early years, most of the houses in Liu Village, Hedong were built of stone eggs, which was very cost-effective, and even lime cement was not used, so they went up one by one.
After closing the roof, some machine tiles can live in people, and some are more unsophisticated, directly cover the roof with polished stone chips.
This kind of house is built at a cost of little money, and the furniture can help people as soon as it is placed. However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is windy in winter.
As the saying goes, "the eye of a needle is big in a bean, and the wind is big in a hole," and in winter, the biting north wind blows through the cracks, and the taste can be imagined. In addition, the stone house was ugly, and then it was gradually eliminated and replaced with a brick house, and then a building.
Only digging a stone, it is impossible to build a house, Liu Daode is a little unclear.
"Of course, getting stones is for sale, I heard tourists say that the stones on the mountain, as long as there is a little shape, it is called strange stones, very valuable, some stones, a piece can be worth millions...... Two days ago, I went to Pimple Ridge and found a strange stone, a bit like an old turtle, so I wanted to get it down. ”
Liu Daojun explained.
After hearing this, Liu Laosan immediately poured cold water: "Pull it down, you think you are a lazy person? Just go up the mountain and pick up a broken wolfberry root, it is worth hundreds of thousands?
"That is, what good stones can there be in the Dao army, nothing more than granite, strip stone, bluestone, and those strange stones are generally found by the river. Liu Daode also gave him a vaccination. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, he is really not optimistic about the so-called "strange stone" in Liu Daojun's mouth.
"It's okay, no one really wants me to throw it at home as a stone table," Liu Daojun insisted.
So, the three of them went straight to Pimple Ridge under the scorching sun on their heads.
On the high slope, the strange stone in Liu Daojun's mouth revealed its true face: a bit like an inverted semicircle, with irregular edges below.
"Daojun, where did you see that this stone looks like an old turtle, why can't I see it?" Liu Laosan looked horizontally and vertically, and was stunned that he couldn't see a turtle. It is nothing more than a semicircle on the top like a tortoise shell.
"Why not, you see, this is a turtle cover, I really want to be frightened, my limbs and head are retracted into my skirt," Liu Daojun pointed to a few bumps below to explain.
"Okay, what you say is what, what you do, how to get it, don't bask in the sun here" Liu Daode urged.
The three of them fixed the "strange stone" with a rope, carried it down the hillside, and then put it on the tractor and walked back stupidly. As soon as he walked out of ten meters away, a voice suddenly sounded in Liu Daodao's ears, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, it's the voice of the second general." ”
The walk-behind tractor turned off, and all three heard a wolf howl.
"It should be that the second general caught the prey, and he rescued him when he heard my voice just now. You go back first, and I'll go and see. Liu Daode said and jumped out of the car.
"This guy won't hunt wild boars again, let's go together. Liu Laosan then jumped off.
The second general's Shenyong village people all saw it, and not only everyone was confused about its origin, but even Liu Daode had always been curious. When he traveled around the mountains at night, he didn't see any other wolves, and the second general was the only one.
It's a wild boar in the mountains, Liu Daode has seen it a few times.
