Boom la la la......
A heavy rain came as scheduled, leaving the fields hazy, and the whole world was covered in rain. Countless raindrops converge in a single line and fall in a small mountain village, where the rain crackles the bricks and tiles, and then flows down the eaves and into the village path through the ditch.
Wow!
A sneaker stepped on a small puddle, splashed, and continued to run towards the house in front of it. Pushing the courtyard door open, the whole person flashed in, although he was holding a red umbrella, his hair was obviously drenched.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Ye Zheng ran to the eaves and said hello to his grandmother who was sitting at the door.
"Why are you getting caught in the rain again?" Grandma was brushing her hair and looked dissatisfied.
"That's right! I don't want to, looking at the sky is not right, I also called it a day early and came back, who knew that this rain would come so quickly! Ye Zheng put away his umbrella and complained about the weather.
"Don't talk yet, you go take a hot shower, or you're going to catch a cold again." Grandma put down the comb and urged him with concern.
While the two were talking, Gu Li walked out of Ye Zhengzhì's room, and her beautiful big eyes saw him look a little wolf, and shook her head helplessly.
"I knew you wouldn't be looking for a place to hide from the rain, this is your clothes, go take a shower!" Gu Li was very concerned about Ye Zhengzhì, and when she saw the heavy rain, she also prepared in advance.
"Good! Help me put my backpack back in my room and hide it, there are treasures inside! Ye Zheng untied the backpack and handed it to her, his eyes blinking at her.
"What baby?" Gu Li's eyes lit up, and a curiosity arose.
"Go! Go! Go take a shower! Grandma urged.
"I'll sue you later!" Ye Zheng winked at her, took his clothes, and quickly walked towards the bathroom.
Summers in the southwest province are rainy, but they are not hot and humid every day, and this kind of heavy rain will cause the temperature to drop a lot, resulting in a large temperature difference. At this time, taking a bath with hot water will make people feel very comfortable and warm.
After entering the bathhouse, Ye Zheng did not seem to be in a hurry or slow, letting the hot water wash on his body, feeling the warmth.
In fact, this contains a lot of good memories, when he was a child, he was very naughty, liked to play in the rain, whenever he saw the rain, he would rush outside, no one could stop him. It's just that after arriving in the South China Sea, a lot of interest has converged.
And this summer, he seemed to feel the feeling he hadn't felt for a long time.
After taking a shower, the rain outside has become lighter, and the flowers and plants in the yard are more green, although they have been destroyed. Stepping on the threshold, he immediately smelled the smell of rice, and dinner was ready, with his favorite pheasant stew with mushrooms.
"Eat!"
Gu Xiongfei sat in front of the old table and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, still smiling on his face, concentrating on the meal.
Ye Zheng originally wanted to reveal the progress of the matter first, so that his old man would know that his grandson was reliable. But looking at his stern face, he hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Today's meal was very tasty, which made him appetite.
Gu Li coughed lightly and glanced at Ye Zhengzhì, but Ye Zhengzhì looked at her puzzled.
"Zhengzhì, where did you go today?" Gu Li stopped her chopsticks and asked directly.
"Stone Field!" Ye Zheng replied honestly.
"Then how do you carry a bag?" Guli bit her chopsticks and pretended to ask naturally.
"You need to bring some tools and put them in your bag so that no one else knows!" Ye Zheng understood his aunt's intentions and grinned.
"What are you doing with tools?" Gu Li's eyes lit up and she was full of curiosity.
"Eat well!" Gu Xiongfei glared at Ye Zheng and stopped him from continuing.
"Ugh!"
Ye Zheng lowered his head whimsily, he understood what his grandfather meant, and he didn't seem to want Gu Li to know about the ancient tomb. In fact, this matter should really be kept secret, if the ancient tomb is planned to be reported to the cultural relics management department, it is fine, if you want to keep it a secret, the less people know about it, the better.
Although Guli is a family, if she says it, it may cause trouble.
Gu Li's eyes were gloomy, and she lowered her head to eat her meal, not knowing what was on her mind. And Ye Zhengzhì, who saw this scene, didn't know how to comfort him.
After eating, Ye Zheng flew into the study with Gu Xiong and reported on today's ancient tomb. It omits the process of finding the thief hole, and falsely claims that it has been discovered before, mainly telling about the narrow passage and speculation about the cause of death of the three children.
After Gu Xiongfei heard it, he sighed, he didn't expect that there would be such a long story, and at the same time he was very angry at the actions of those people.
"Grandpa, so I can continue to mine stone in the north of Wohu Mountain, right?" In the end, Ye Zheng asked nervously.
This is actually what he is most concerned about, and now the ancient tomb is destined to not be able to get the treasure, so he must work pragmatically and strive to mine stones in Crouching Tiger Mountain. Only by mining the stone can he accumulate the first pot of gold.
"You haven't dug up the stone for a week, don't you give up?" Gu Xiongfei took a sip of the teacup and did not answer his question directly.
"Soon!" Ye Zheng said whimfully.
"Although there is nothing wrong with persistence, it is true courage to be able to take the initiative to break your arm. This mining of stone is actually gambling, and the easiest people to lose money in the casino are those who dare to lose but dare not win. Gu Xiongfei put down the teacup and taught seriously.
"Grandpa, give me three more days, and then see the results!" Ye Zheng put up three fingers with a confident smile on his face.
Gu Xiongfei glanced at him, and then mentioned another matter, "I heard that you made a bet with Gu Huaqiang?" ”
"Yes, I believe there are stones there." Ye Zheng nodded, understanding that this matter would definitely reach his grandfather's ears. As for the real reason for the bet at that time, he didn't plan to mention it, so it was not a shame to say it, and it seemed very immature.
"You're still not steady enough to do things, go out!" Gu Xiongfei stood up and prepared to close the window.
"Okay, do you want me to lead the way tomorrow?" Ye Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that his grandfather did not object to him continuing to dig Crouching Tiger Mountain.
"You don't have to worry about it!" Gu Xiongfei shook his head directly.
……
When he went out to the living room, he didn't see his aunt, but faintly heard the sound of washing dishes from the kitchen. After a moment's hesitation, he went straight back to his room, hiding the chest he had brought out of the tomb at the bottom of the closet.
Although this box looks ordinary, Ye Zheng always thinks that this is a treasure, at least worth more than 100,000 yuan.
Because I was a little tired, I didn't take the box and do any more research, but lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, and then remembered the stone quarry.
In fact, at the beginning, he was very convinced that there were stones in Wohu Mountain, and there might be a stone mine. But now, when he guesses that the stone may have been dug up to build an ancient tomb a thousand years ago, he has begun to slowly waver, and his mind sometimes unconsciously thinks about the way back, how to minimize the loss of this investment.
Wohu Mountain, which is contracted by 100,000 yuan, is only dug in two positions now, so it can still be sold for some money. However, if you make a desperate bet and start digging pits and exploration points in a large area of Wohu Mountain, it will not only bear a large amount of mining costs, but also make Wohu Mountain depreciate rapidly, which will undoubtedly make the loss even greater.
Everyone envies the scenery of the boss, but Guo doesn't know that the pressure they bear is unimaginable to many people.
In terms of the current situation, he is just a small hill, but this contains countless opportunities and pitfalls.
If he chooses to give up now, he may only be a shovel away from the quarry, and eventually become everyone's laughing stock, and he will hold a grudge for the rest of his life. And if you continue to persevere, you may still get nothing, and the loss will be even more severe, and it will also become a big joke.
Advancing and retreating is a big problem in life, and no one is sure whether they will choose the wrong answer.
Unconsciously, Ye Zheng found that the word entrepreneurial failure seemed to be very close to him. Now, if the mine is sold out, due to the good timing of the entry at that time, it may be possible to sell it for 40,000 or 50,000 yuan now, which will undoubtedly reduce the loss a lot.
"What should I do?"
Ye Zheng looked at the ceiling in distraction, and for the first time he was a little confused.
In a daze, he didn't think of any good ideas, but just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
……
Aoba Town, Aoba Hotel.
"See! See! ”
"Look at your sister, you just blocked me!"
"I saw it, two words! It's beautiful! ”
……
The gate was bustling with activity, where some thugs with dyed hair were congregating, discussing hotly and foaming at the mouth. In this group of people, there is a figure of Zhao Dazhui, his style is more pragmatic, and he immediately rushed to the door, but was stopped by the boss.
"Pay for housing, or get out!" The owner is a big fat man with a pair of shrewd little eyes.
"Careful eyes, you dare to stop me? Believe it or not, I sealed your hotel? Zhao Dazhui was also red-eyed, and immediately rolled up his sleeves.
"That's right! Sledgehammer, let your dad seal him! ”
The gang of gangsters in the back didn't think it was a big deal at all, and immediately followed the coaxing, but they were swept away by the boss's eyes, and many people's momentum weakened, and they chose to shut up.
"Even if you come, it's still this rule!" The thin-eyed eight snorted coldly, not giving Zhao Dazhui face at all.
"Good! You wait! Zhao Dazhui pointed at his nose, but in the next second, he took out the money from his pocket, "The room on the fourth floor, the closer to her, the better!"
Fine-eyed eight took the money and said with a smile, "The fourth floor has been covered by them, and if you want to live, you can live on the third floor, and there are two rooms above." ”
"Give me the key, I'll live here tonight!" Zhao Da Hammer was also refreshing, and he went upstairs when he wanted to pass the key.
Seeing that Zhao Dazhui was so anticlimactic, the gangsters outside the door immediately coaxed, and they all raised their middle fingers, despising this birdman.
It's just that Zhao Dazhui didn't mind, turned around and arched his hand towards everyone, as if he was a victorious general.
