"Are you really raising donations to dedicate love to the people affected by disasters in China?" Li Ling reversed the car and asked.

"Of course! Is there anything else to doubt about this? The girl shrugged and looked at her companion behind her, "The new semester is about to start, but our charity group has only raised more than $2,000 all summer...... It made me feel a little frustrated. The girl spread her hands when she finished speaking.

"Well, actually, I still want to buy some tents and canned food to send to my compatriots, in that case, I don't think I need to drive another twenty miles to bother, I will hand over these two thousand dollars to you, please help me buy and send it to China, thank you."

Li Ling handed the girl a material fee of two thousand dollars that his mother asked him to hand over to the third senior brother in the wallet.

Once again dedicated his love to his compatriots, and indirectly supported the work of the alumni, Li Ling did not feel that he had suffered much loss.

It is true that the United States does not use cash, but in the Chinese circles of the Punal Valley, the Lihua wood factory has to buy wood and all kinds of hardware and lacquer, but those Chinese, Vietnamese and Mexicans only accept cash.

"Huh?!" The girl looked at the thick stack of dollars, and then at Li Ling, her blue eyes were rounded, and she didn't believe what was happening in front of her at all.

Of course, she would not burst out with the idea of "local tyrants" and then have little stars in her eyes, so that a Westerner who has no cash habit suddenly sees so many dollars, the surprise can be imagined.

"What, do you think I'm going to ask you for a hug or even a kiss?" Li Ling shrugged and looked at her.

"Haha, you're so funny, well, and you're also very generous, you're really a kind person." The girl took the money, "I don't mind giving you a hug!" ”

"You're also a good girl, even though your two dimples look very ...... Dangerous. Li Ling smiled, separated from the one, and the car started slowly.

"Oh, why do you say that?" The girl's smile was heartwarming, especially when she stared straight at someone.

"There is a rumor that a girl with two dimples will have a man hidden in each dimple." Li Ling waved his hand at her, and the car had already driven a few meters away, "Do you know why, because men love to drink......"

"You mean, I'm going to have two men? Hey! I really feel like you're a psychic! The girl lowered her voice slowly, "Maybe there is a man hidden in a dimple and a woman hidden in a dimple?" ”

Seeing that Li Ling's car had already driven out, she immediately shouted again: "Hey! What's your name, I want to register! By the way, we're going to give you another love medal......"

"Just write 'alumni.'" Li Ling waved his hand back.

"Alumni...... OK, I'm Betty. Thank you, Alumnus, Stuart! We will definitely use this money to buy enough tents and cans to send to your compatriots, and God will bless you and your Motherland!

"That's right, alumni! I feel like you're a psychic, the trouble in my ancestral house—" At this point, Betty realized that it was a little wrong for her to shout so loudly outside, after all, the Chinese boy had already driven far away.

"Alumni, alumni......" Betty muttered to herself, "Alumni?!" Could it be that he is also a student at Columbia? ”

"Hey, Betty, what's wrong?" At this time, a tall blonde American boy walked over and said, "Yelling outside, wow, this is not the style of Columbia's school flowers!" ”

Betty still looked at Li Ling's car that had already driven away, and sighed lightly: "That Chinese boy donated two thousand dollars, and you know that we only raised this money this summer." ”

"Oh? Haven't you heard, these people are moths, and they don't earn the money anyway, these idiots come to our country just to show how good they are at bullying their people, how good they are at taking money out of their people's pockets for us to spend. Daniel smiled dismissively.

"Hey, Daniel, how can you talk like that? This is a piece of his love and kindness! 'We must not measure the words and deeds of others with the worst minds', haven't you heard of this famous quote from Columbia? Betty glared at him as she spoke, and walked back to her seat.

************************************

The car drove out of the community, and soon onto the East Coast Highway, at a fork in the road, Li Ling was just about to turn right towards the Punal Town Police Station, when his mobile phone rang.

At this time in 1998, in Europe and the United States and other countries with developed communication technology, relatively small mobile phones had begun to be popularized, although at this time Big Brother had not yet withdrawn from the stage of history.

And mobile network operators in the United States have already introduced the text messaging feature, and about a year later, the feature has exploded around the world.

"Xiao Ling, Sister Sakura is back, something really happened to Pine Cone and Maple Tiao!" Kiriko's tone on the other end of the phone was very urgent.

"Why did the strips arrest them?" He slammed on the brakes.

"Ah, Sister Sakura already told you? No, she doesn't have a cell phone, how do you know they've been caught? ”

"Why the hell was you arrested? Don't be verbose! ”

"Uh, let's talk about it when you come, Sister Sakura is uncomfortable on the side, she only listens to your ......"

Li Ling immediately turned left and headed towards the Purnar Valley Lihua Wood Factory.

There are countless lumber factories, wood processing factories and hardware, paint, home improvement and other building materials stores in Punal Valley, most of which are run by Chinese, and this small mountain town has also become a Chinese timber management and processing and manufacturing center on the east coast of North America.

The Lihua Lumber Processing Factory is one of the oldest of these mills, and its founder was Li Weihua, the great-grandfather of Li Ling, a Chinese worker who came to the United States in the late 19th century to pan for gold.

The noise of electric drills and cutting machines in the factory has been reduced a lot, Li Ling came to the workshop, and a big yellow dog pounced on him affectionately to play with him, "Hey! Ah Huang, you've grown taller again! ”

Li Ling touched the yellow dog's head, and saw that Tongzi was immersed in sawing wooden planks, and the third senior brother was painting a finished Taishi chair.

Two Mexicans, a middle-aged and a young man, were carrying wood to the workshop, and two high-powered blowers were blowing at them, and the workshop was also cool.

In the 60s and 70s, when the American economy was booming, the Lever Lumber Factory had more than 60 employees, including more than 20 carpenters.

Now, there are more carpentry factories in the Punal Valley, the market is more competitive, and Lihua has a lot less manpower, but Lihua carpentry and furniture are now taking the pure handmade and boutique route.

In the carpenter circle on the east coast of North America, as well as the Chinese furniture manufacturing industry, there are few people who don't know about Lihua and Qin carpenters.

"Third Senior Brother, Kiriko." Li Ling walked in and shouted.

"Xiao Ling, Sister Ying is in the office." Kiriko looked up and said, then glanced at Li Ling.

Li Ling naturally understood what this look meant, and he didn't pay attention to him, only listening to Qin Shaonan scolding: "Third brother, how many times have I said it, it's called 'Little Uncle'!" Do you have a long memory? Your master's name is Xiao Ling, and you are also called Xiao Ling, what's the matter, you and your master are the same generation, right? ”

Tongzi hurriedly buried his head in his work and remained silent, and Qin Shaonan said to Li Ling: "Xiao Ling, the eldest and the second child made a move with the strips in the police station and were detained, because those strips bullied Sakura first!" Specifically, you can ask Sakura. ”

"Bullying Brother Sakura?" Li Ling was stunned, this Lihua tigress also had times when she was bullied? I can't help but make up the picture of Brother Sakura being bullied, Brother Sakura will never suffer, how can she be bullied, how can she be......

"I don't understand the legal procedures, this matter is up to my aunt and you, if the path is uneven, then I can only take the door that is not visible."

Although Qin Shaonan is nearly seventy years old, he has a pair of rough hands on the wooden bench, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an old man's hands.

The only way people who have come from his time can think of to solve the problem is to speak with his fists and strength. Although this is in the United States, fists cannot withstand the law, but ...... He also has Luban technique.

In this world, perhaps only this supernatural power can escape the law and the public eye.

"Third Senior Brother, let's take the bright path as much as possible." Li Ling glanced at Kiriko, who was grimacing at him, "This is the United States, since Pine Cone and Maple are righteous and courageous, the road of law should be clear, isn't it just to hire a lawyer, don't worry." ”

Li Ling just wanted to tell him not to worry too much, no matter what, he would not let an old man who was nearly seventy years old come forward, even if he knew Lu Banshu.

Even if the third senior brother's Luban technique cultivation is high, but with the Luban technique of the Heavenly Heart Position System, chanting and casting spells, it is impossible to escape the anti-curse of the ancestor master. At this time, how could Li Ling let the third senior brother solve this matter with Lu Banshu?

Li Ling now knows that the third senior brother abides by the teachings of his master Ma Lu Zong, and the carpenter skills and Lu Ban techniques of Ma Lu Sect are inherited from his ancestors, so the third senior brother has followed the first iron precept of Li family ancestors in his life: never take the initiative to harm others.

With the Luban technique mastered by the third senior brother, he naturally can't escape a curse from the ancestor - curse that if he learns Luban and doesn't use it, he must endlessly perform Luban technique in his life.

Therefore, when the third senior brother is a man-made house, he will use the Lu Ban Shangliang Technique to bring them luck, and Li Ling has no doubt that he also used the Lu Ban Technique when making furniture.

Otherwise, some carpentry work requires two or three carpenters to do it for a month or two, but the third senior brother can do it in half a month alone.

It is said that carpenters will split a large number of wooden wedges before building houses and making furniture, which are used for repairing joints or plugging mats during construction.

Li Ling had seen it with his own eyes when he was a child, and other carpenters could only chop out dozens of wooden wedges in a morning, but the third senior brother ran to the backyard alone with the wood, and in less than a bag of cigarettes, he took out hundreds of wooden wedges!

When he was a child, Li Ling must have been chopped in the backyard as the third senior brother, but now, he finally understood, this is called the "Golden Knife Sharp Scissors Method", a Luban spell that saves time and effort.

The third senior brother likes dogs very much, and some Cantonese Chinese in Punal Valley love to eat dog meat, Li Ling remembers one time, a group of Chinese killed a few stray dogs to eat dog meat. The third brother walked over and stirred a straw in the pot where they were cooking dog meat when they were not paying attention.

As a result, the gang boiled water for a day, and burned bundles and bundles of firewood, and the pot of water could not be boiled. The gang had no choice but to take out the dog meat and prepare to roast it over the fire, and then the third senior brother took the initiative to help them set up the dog meat.

However, after being grilled for one night, the dog meat is all raw...... Many people in Punar Valley knew about this, and it was also rumored, but no one saw that it was the third senior brother who did it.

Li Ling now understands that the third senior brother has used two spells in this, the first one is called "Snow Mountain Water", no matter how much he boils water, he will not turn it; The latter one is called "meat is not cooked", no matter how you cook it, the meat is not rotten or undercooked.

Luban is like a double-edged sword, or rather a pistol, especially in the United States, where private guns are allowed.

With this pistol, a good man can defend his homeland and private property from violation, and he can defend justice; And madmen and gangsters will go to the campus to create school shootings, rob banks, and kill innocents.

In the same way, Lu Banshu can do good deeds in the hands of good people, such as the third senior brother, he can cast spells to quickly make furniture, bringing luck to people building houses, and this kind of counter-spell has the least impact on him.

But in the hands of some people, Lu Banshu can only do bad things and harm people all his life, such as the one who killed Grant's family.

Li Ling knew that although the third senior brother had been constantly performing the Luban technique all his life, he had never used the Luban technique to rectify people and harm people.

But this time, if the trouble of pine cones and maple strips cannot be solved by taking a clear path, it is obvious that the third senior brother is ready to make a move.

But Li Ling would never let him do these things as an old man.
