Li's father's concern was not unreasonable, if there were potholes in Tianxian Lake that caused the lagoon, the villages downstream, including theirs, would suffer.

"Dad, it's not on the sewer side, but there's a sinkhole at the inlet. Looking at Father Li's nervous appearance, Li Chen couldn't cry or laugh, all of which were caused by his failure to make it clear.

"You kid, what is like a water mouth in Tianxian Lake, not all the water in the lake gushes out of the underground river!"

It seems that Father Li doesn't know, according to Father Li's character, some rumors he doesn't know, it is estimated that the parents in the village don't know, but I don't know if the older generation knows?

"Oh, then have you heard of anyone who lived in the mountains in ancient times?" Li Chen asked in a different way.

"Nope. Father Li looked at Li Chen strangely, "Hey, you kid, what are you asking these things for?"

"Didn't I find a big sinkhole by the lake, and I found that there were people living in it, and I wanted to know who lived there. ”

Father Li looked incredulous, "Your joke is not funny at all, you have pulled so much nonsense, just to make fun of your father and me, right?" After speaking, Father Li turned around and packed up the basket.

Li Chen was a little confused, was he serious!, "Dad, where am I kidding, what I said is true." ”

Father Li, who was taking pictures of the impurities in the basket, turned his head and glared at Li Chen, "Before your kid was born, your father and I had been to Tianxian Lake countless times, but I had never seen any big pits by the lake, and I could still live there?

"Dad, you know that one side of the lake is a cliff, right?" Hearing Dad's words, he knew that he had never been on the other side of the cliff.

"Nonsense!"

"There is a cave in the place where the water catches the cliff, and when you enter it, there is a big sinkhole on the other side, or you can see it from the top of the cliff. Li Chen explained in detail.

"You kid didn't coax me?" Father Li heard this, his movements stopped, he really hadn't been on the top of the cliff.

"What am I lying to you for? "It's hard to laugh or cry.

In order to prove that he didn't lie to him, Li Chen stood up and said, "Dad, wait a minute." With that, he walked quickly towards the house.

When he came out again, he held the night pearl that he had taken down at that time, stretched him out in front of Father Li and said, "Dad, look at what this is." ”

Father Li put down the work in his hand, took it, and glanced at it with a churn, "Glass balls?"

The Night Pearl did not shine in the sunlight, and looked like a turquoise glass ball.

"No, it's..."

"Could it be Jade!?" Father Li felt like it the more he looked at it, and he was so excited that he didn't even notice Li Chen's words, and interrupted directly.

It can be regarded as a coincidence, Father Li happened to be watching the TV series Jade King a few days ago, so when he saw this night pearl, he would associate it with Jade.

"Dad, this is the pearl of the night, not the jade. Li Chen interrupted Li's father's conjecture with tears and laughter.

"Night Pearl!" Unexpectedly, it was indeed Father Li's more excited shout, which startled Li Chen.

However, after Father Li finished shouting, his mood withered, "You kid is a liar, can the night pearl look like this? Although they are all round, I believe that it is glass." ”

"Uh...... Why?" Li Chen really couldn't react to Father Li's thoughts.

Father Li glanced at Li Chen, and said as a matter of course: "Because he can't shine, won't the night pearls shine?"

It's no wonder that there is such a big gap in Father Li's mood, the night pearl is famous among the people, especially in the countryside, it is simply worshipped as a god!

In their opinion, the night pearl will shine with a dazzling light day and night, not this bland bead like the one in Li's father's hand, and it cannot appear in the homes of ordinary people.

Hearing Father Li's words, Li Chen couldn't cry or laugh even more, "Dad, just look in the dark!"

Hearing this, Father Li walked towards the house in disbelief, but the courtyard was really bright, and there was nothing to shade.

After Li Chen picked up the two baskets, he came to the house and saw that Father Li was carefully holding the Night Pearl and watching, even if Li Chen came in, he couldn't attract his attention.

Li Chen had no choice but to speak first: "Dad, now you believe it." ”

I saw Father Li nodded, then his eyes moved away from Ye Mingzhu, and asked solemnly: "Where did you get this, why can't you do something illegal!"

In this regard, Li Chen did not have any surprised expression, he had long known that Father Li would ask this question, "This was taken out of the sinkhole I said." ”

"Is there really a sinkhole!?"

Yes, I still don't believe it, Li Chen nodded helplessly.

"That is, this was taken from the residence of the people who used to live in the sinkhole?"

Li Chen still nodded.

"Are there any other Night Pearls there?"

Hearing this, Li Chen still couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Dad, do you think this night pearl is a rotten street, how can there be so many." ”

"Hehe, that's too. Father Li smiled brightly, and then said worriedly: "Son, you say, should we tell the town about this, after all, this should be a cultural relic." ”

I have to say that the propaganda about the rural areas is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, such as the protection of cultural relics is everyone's responsibility, and the implementation of family planning is a basic national policy, and even some of the undemolished earthen walls in the village are marked with some previous propaganda slogans.

Li Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "It's just an old private house from before, besides, I want to use it as a secret base." ”

"It's still a secret base, and those who don't know what do you think you're going to do, what if we find out and we don't report it. Father Li was still a little worried.

"Oh, Dad, don't worry, it's just a day's pit, and it's not a fuss. ”

"Are you really okay?"

"It's all right!"

"Okay, I'll go up with you tomorrow, it's not much of a deal anyway. Father Li said excitedly.

Li Chen: "......"

He was a little overwhelmed by Father Li's sudden change, this topic is good, how can the painting style suddenly change?

"Dad, do you want to go again after a while?" Li Chen really didn't want to climb the mountain on a hot day, and he was so hot that he was irritable.

"No, I'll go tomorrow. Father Li waved his hand and made a final decision.

When Mother Li and Ye Jingting came back, Father Li told Mother Li about going up the mountain, and after hearing it, Mother Li played with the Night Pearl, blaming Li Chen for not telling them about it earlier......

At night, until she went to bed, Mother Li's mouth kept muttering about treating this night pearl as a family heirloom or something like that, which made Father Li keep rolling his eyes on the side.

…………

Li Chen was in a daze, and was woken up by a sudden phone call, and when he took it over, it was Li's father's, and the time displayed on it was more than six o'clock!

"Hey, Dad, what's going on this early morning?"
