Chapter 1056 Two Elders

……

"You didn't know when you left, the current Hotan is not the Hotan of the past! The days when the Jade King Gang was the king and the hegemon are gone!"

Looking at the excited expression on Yang Shang's face, Liu Dong smiled. The cause of this incident is still himself.

Of course, Liu Dong would not tell the truth, and he cooperated with an inquiring look on his face.

"Why?"

"I don't know exactly why. However, listening to the local rumors, it seems that the leader of the Jade King Gang, 'Jade Prince' Murat, was involved in foreign separatist forces and was defeated by the military! Moreover, because of this incident, several officials in Hotan City have been dismissed, and I heard that there are even provincial ones!"

"So, the previous cow ghosts and snake gods in Hotan City have all been swept away?" Liu Dong pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, it's all cleaned! In the future, we will go into the mountains to pick jade and come back, and we will no longer be afraid of being bought and sold by the Jade King!"

Looking at the emotion, expectation and excitement on Yang Shang's face, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, you don't still want to go to Montenegro to pick jade, do you?"

After smiling awkwardly, "Your aunt will be so strict, when I am discharged from the hospital and go home, I will discuss it with her, it will definitely be no problem." But you, are you going to go next year? This is a great opportunity!"

"I don't know, it's only June now, and there is still more than half a year before next year, so let's wait and talk about it!" Liu Dong said.

Black Mountain jade mining Liu Dong is estimated not to go back, except that he has enough jade in the mustard seed space. After Murati was killed by him, Liu Dong had already informed Rose Jewelry to go to Xinjiang to receive Murati's jade mine, and this was also one of the rewards of Li Lao's contribution to him!

However, Liu Dong also knows the truth of being too late. He wasn't as greedy as Murati. So it only accounts for 30% of the output of Hetian jade mines. Leave the rest to the others!

"Alas, if it weren't for the bad time for this injury, we should have gone to Montenegro again last month!" Yang Shang sighed.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yang! Now that the Jade King Gang is gone, it's the same when we go!" Liu Dong hurriedly comforted.

"Hehe, that's what I said!"

At this time, Liu Lijuan also walked back with the washed apples.

After handing one to Liu Dong, he picked up the other peeled skin and handed it to Yang Shang.

See this scenario. Liu Dong also understood that the virtuous couple was deeply affectionate, and he was really redundant here, so after a simple chat with Yang Shang, and after seeing that his body was fine, he took the initiative to leave!

After coming out of the hospital, Liu Dong originally wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, he would go to the United States in a while, and then fly from the United States to the United Kingdom. It may be another month to be out of the country. So, I want to take advantage of this time to visit my elders and friends.

So. Liu Dong drove to an old alley not far from Daming Lake in the center of Quancheng City!

Although it is an old alley, it does not have the noise and chaos that is common in the old alleys in the consciousness of ordinary people. The 6-meter-wide bluestone pavement is cleaned, and the ginkgo trees, which are common in the north, are planted along the roadside, and the turquoise leaves on the straight trunks shimmer in the midday sun in June.

The breeze came slowly, making Liu Dong feel a pleasant coolness.

In this specially developed old alley, sitting north and facing south, all of them are old-fashioned courtyard houses common in the north. Of course, the architectural style will be somewhat different from the courtyard houses in the capital. But what is the same is that the atmosphere between the two is equally quiet, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city. Quiet in the middle of noisy, creating a quiet harbor in the bustling, is really a good place for self-cultivation.

After parking the car on the side of the road, Liu Dong looked up at the gate in front of him, which was not gorgeous, but quaint.

There are two weeping willows planted on both sides of the gate, the heavy wooden door is painted black, and the brass shop head of two golden lions swallowing the mouth is inlaid on it, although it is not exquisite, but it is also full of antiquity!

The upper edge of the two wooden doors is a common gatehouse in the northern dwellings, with blue bricks and green tiles, simple shape, but with ancient charm!

The entire gatehouse is 5 meters high and more than 3 meters wide, surrounded by a blue brick wall with a height of nearly 2.5 meters, which blocks the courtyard from the back and also blocks the eyes of prying eyes.

After a brief look, Liu Dong stepped on the two-level bluestone steps, and originally wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door was hidden.

Curious, Liu Dong pushed the door and walked in!

After entering the door, the first oncoming shadow wall is the relief of the five blessings that are common in Chinese folk culture, of course, this relief is not very exquisite.

Under the shadow wall, about three meters long and one meter wide, a small wall about 40 centimeters high is made of red bricks, and the moon season is planted inside. In this prosperous and blooming season, red and pink flowers compete to bloom in the morning sun, so that Liu Dong, who has just entered the door, immediately smells the quiet and rich fragrance of flowers.

Bypassing the shadow wall, Liu Dong's left-hand position, that is, next to the south wall immediately adjacent to the road outside, has been converted into a garage. On the west wall opposite, pomegranates, rhododendrons, begonias, cacti, golden needles and other colorful flowers are planted, and the purple and red ones occupy a large area!

Relatively speaking, there are a few shelves of cucumbers and tomatoes planted on the east wall, and there are beans inside! Maybe because the season is not yet, the tomatoes are only the size of a finger's belly, but the cucumbers and beans have been hung with racks, and some of them have been thinned a lot, and they look like they have been picked!

With a 'clucking' sound, an old hen led a dozen chicks out from under the vegetable rack, and after glancing at Liu Dong, she turned around and drilled back again.

In the middle of the courtyard, a bluestone paved stone road extends from Liu Dong's feet to the hall house, and at the same time, the flower garden and vegetable garden are divided into two parts!

However, Liu Dong did not enter the house after turning the shadow wall, but looked directly at the grape trellis under the windowsill of the hall house, and on the stone table under the grape trellis, there were two old men playing a nervous game!

Looking at their nervous faces, it is obvious that this game of chess has been played to a critical point.

However, an old white cat next to them apparently saw an opportunity and wanted to jump on the fish tank next to them to attack the delicious food inside while the owner was not looking.

But I saw Liu Dong coming. After a 'meow'. It didn't seem to be ashamed of being caught. I was stunned for a few seconds on the edge of the fish tank, and when I saw Liu Dong getting closer and closer, I reluctantly jumped down. The thick pads of the soles of the feet did not even make a sound after it fell to the ground.

Just when the white cat landed, the yellow dog, who was lying under the grape trellis next to him, trotted towards Liu Dong very affectionately.

Looking at its affectionate appearance of shaking its head and tail around him, Liu Dong smiled and reached out and touched the other party's head.

"Ha, old Wu. You're going to lose this time!"

I saw that the old man, who looked a few years older, suddenly laughed.

Liu Dong curiously stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, on the chess game, a lying horse and a rook, he was directly a general, and Lanzi had no way to retreat.

"This game doesn't count, I didn't think about it just now, do it again!"

"Hehe, regretting chess is not a skill, and didn't you see that a guest arrived?" Dong Lao, who won the chess game, said with a smile.

"Xiaodong. You little guy couldn't have come at the right time!"

Listening to Wu Lao's complaints, Liu Dong could only smile bitterly in his heart.

He's a fool!

"Alright. Don't complain about Xiaodong, just your stinky chess basket, you will still lose if no one comes!" Dong Lao said unceremoniously.

Hearing this, Wu Banghan blew his beard and glared at his old partner who was a few years older than him opposite, although he wanted to refute a few words, but when the facts were there, he could only reluctantly accept the fact that he had lost.

After throwing the chess pieces on the chessboard, he said in an unhappy tone: "No, you old guy is too cunning!"

After Dong Lao smiled, he also put the chess pieces back on the chessboard, and then turned to Liu Dong and said, "Xiaodong, but I haven't seen you for a long time, where did you go to Taobao during this time?"

When it came to Taobao, Wu Banghan, who was still with Dong Lao and the bull just now, immediately shifted his searching eyes to Liu Dong.

"Elder Dong, this is serious. Where in the world are there so many treasures for me?" Liu Dong hurriedly said.

"It's not much, what happened to you kid last time when he was in Hong Kong? 'Eight Horses' Zigang Jade, Zidian Divine Sword, which one is not a national treasure? Even Tang Yin's genuine work "Spring Mountain Companion Road" is also a fine work of calligraphy and painting! Looking at you, we old ghosts have lived on dogs all our lives!" Wu Banghan shook his head and said.

"Wow ......!"

Speaking of dogs, the yellow dog at Liu Dong's feet immediately barked.

"Didn't say anything about you!"

Wu Lao's scolding made the yellow dog 'woo', drooped his ears, and then walked to Wu Lao's feet with low eyebrows and lay down.

looked at Wu Lao, although he scolded before, but now he touched the big head of his beloved dog with a happy face. Dong Lao next to him said to Liu Dong: "Come, Xiaodong sit!"

"Hmm!"

After nodding, Liu Dong sat down on the stone bench next to him and asked, "Old Dong, how are you doing during this time?"

"Hehe, thanks to the first few times you gave me acupuncture. Now I feel like I'm a decade younger, old man, and I'll be able to stay in this world for a few more years!"

"Old Wu, are you okay?" Liu Dong turned his head and said.

"It's much better, now that I'm arguing with this old man, I feel like I'm full of energy!" Wu Banghan looked at Liu Dong and said with a smile.

For this young man who was optimistic about himself at the beginning and tried his best to introduce the Quancheng Collection Association, Wu Banghan is more and more optimistic. And I'm glad I didn't see the wrong person at the beginning.

"That's good, I'll give you a few more stitches later! I guarantee that you can live for another twenty years!" Liu Dong said.

"Hehe, at this age, we don't dare to think about living for another twenty years! Living one day counts as one day, living two days earns one day, as long as you leave, no pain is enough!" Dong Lao said open-mindedly.

On the other side, Wu Lao also nodded in agreement.

In their old age, their lives have reached their twilight years, and they have experienced too much in their lives, and life and death have long been downplayed. I don't want to live long, I just want to be peaceful when I leave!(To be continued......)
