It was a walnut-sized sapphire, uncut rough. Although there is no facet, Li Han can still see that its color is very pure and intense.

"Han, bring me a magnifying glass and use it." Benedict held up the sapphire and squinted into the sunlight for a long time.

Li Han rummaged through the cabinets in the study for a long time, and sure enough, he took a magnifying glass and came down, and he didn't know what he bought it for. Benedict took the magnifying glass, and like Sherlock had observed a corpse, placed the sapphire on the table, and bent over to look at it carefully. Li Han didn't understand this, but he could also tell that this was a treasure.

Benedict looked at it for a long time, straightened up and said to Li Han with an expression that he didn't know what expression to put on: "This is a natural gemstone, the origin should be Sri Lanka, this kind of colorful and pure Sri Lankan sapphire is worth more than a diamond, 1 carat is at least 2ooo dollars, this one is at least 3ooo carats or more, the value can not be calculated by multiplying 2ooo by 3oo, I don't know how many times it will be doubled." ”

Li Han didn't know what expression to put on, so he looked at the baking tray and said blankly: "This is the most expensive grilled fish in the world, right?" After a pause, he gestured at the sapphire, "I always seem to be receiving jewelry lately, and if I were a woman, I would be dying of joy...... Let's go back and find a skilled craftsman to cut it, divide it into two, and we will make a pendant or cut it smaller. ”

Benedict has no opinion, gems can indeed be worth a lot of money when they are sold, but such a big and good gem is rare, anyway, the two of them are not short of money, it is better to keep it and give it to his wife later.

Li Handu was already calm, waved his hand and asked Benedict to put away the gem and turn around to find someone to cut it, and began to clean up the dishes himself. The plan for the afternoon was to ride horses, and they didn't bother to drive, so they walked to the pasture. It's just that they slightly miscalculated the distance between the two places, 2o minutes is the time to drive, and it took them more than an hour to walk this distance.

"We're being stupid, aren't we?" Li Han patted his head amusedly. 2o minutes is a bit short for a walk. But more than an hour is too long and a waste of time. You know, it's still quite early when it gets dark in England, and walking for so long is a bit too much entertainment time for horseback riding.

When he walked into the pasture, several half-sized sheepdogs pounced and circled around Li Han. The little tail wagged as if it was about to fall. Li Han squatted down in surprise. body, hugged them one by one: "Easter, Winster, Shaosi, North, do you remember me?" Good buddy. It's so clever. ”

The herds of cattle and sheep were scattered in twos and threes on the grass and buried themselves in grazing, but the horses were not with the herd, and John was grazing under a big tree with the cream and the rest of the horses, but he was doing his work with a piece of skin. But the cream refused to eat grass honestly, and stood beside a light brown mare, rubbing against each other, and did not eat the good grass on the ground, but had to squeeze over and eat the side of the house.

John also saw them. Stood up and waved to them from afar. Li Han put down the dogs and asked them to continue to guard the herd of cattle and sheep, speaking of which, there are hundreds of cattle and sheep, and four sheepdogs are really too much.

He walked towards John with Benedict and smiled, "John, how is the ranch doing?" Is a qiē all right? ”

"It's not bad, I'm slowly on the right track." John said, "The cattle and sheep are healthy. Shepherd dogs can also come in handy, as well as those flower-tailed chickens, which hatch are also alive and can be eaten in two or three months. There are not many people who raise pigs, and before they have bought suitable piglets, the pigsty that has been built can only be temporarily empty. I have already bought a dozen or so chicks because they are still small. I can only circle a piece on the cowshed to raise ...... first."

"One qiē is good," Li Han didn't talk much nonsense, thinking about the days when he could eat flying dragon birds casually, and said. "I'm riding with my friends today, it's okay, you're busy with yours, let's just go and prepare ourselves."

The cream still remembered Li Han, and when she saw him from a distance, she raised her head and screamed, trotted over, and rubbed her arms with the big head. Li Han touched its face and took out an apple from its bag to feed it. "It's cream, it's a three-year-old stallion." Li Han said, "Benedict, which horse do you like?" ”

Benedict picked a brown mare by himself, he had been professionally trained when he filmed "War Horse" before, and his equestrian skills were still good, at least much better than Li Han, who had only ridden so many times. He got into the saddle neatly, fastened his belly belt, and led the horse to a spacious place with Li Han.

They rode for three hours, warm-up jogging, fast running, and running around the trees...... To be honest, Li Han's riding skills are far inferior to Benedict. However, Benedict's body was inferior to him, and he didn't feel it when he was on the horse, and after dismounting, Benedict's legs were no longer his own, and it was difficult to walk.

"God," he said, moving his legs with difficulty, "Shenyin" said, "It's been a long time since I've ridden a horse for such a long time, and I'm not used to such high-intensity exercise." ”

Li Han sneered: "This can only mean that you are already old, the old man of Bensi." ”

Benedict's face turned green all of a sudden. Before he could come up with anything to fight back, Li Han had already changed the topic knowingly: "If you come on vacation again in the summer, the cattle and sheep can be killed and eaten, and you feel so happy when you think about it...... Since you're tired, rest here first, and I'll go back to the villa and drive over to pick you up. ”

With this little flattery, Benedict no longer cares about him poking his age, and men will be afraid of old age? Dare to say that he is old, for the sake of his first time, he doesn't care, saving more than an hour to walk back to the villa, he is really a little tired when he comes.

At this time, it was getting dark, and after walking for half an hour, Benedict suddenly said: "Look, tonight it is a blood moon, this is red and round, like an orange?" ”

Li Han was embarrassed for a moment, and took out an apple from the car refrigerator and stuffed it for him: "There are no oranges, so let's eat them." ”

Benedict was also embarrassed, and silently took a large bite of the apple with a crisp "click" sound.

It's a deserted trail that's far from the town of Keswick but still some way from the city. On both sides of the road are pastures and fields, and the trees on a hillside have sprouted new shoots and young leaves. The red moonlight shines on this wilderness, bringing a terrifying and desolate feeling.

Benedict took the apple that had been nibbled in half and stopped chewing. He felt as if he heard the howl of some animal in the distance, a bit like a wolf, but when he listened closely, he heard nothing. He chuckled dryly, feeling a little nervous, knowing that the wolves in England had long since been extinct: "It is said that the blood moon awakens dark magic. ”

Li Han didn't understand very much, and asked, "Dark creatures will come out to walk?" If it had been before, he would have scoffed at it and explained the blood moon scientifically, saying that the blood moon was only because the thick atmosphere absorbed the purple, blue, green, and yellow light, leaving only the red light to penetrate through. But now that he'd seen vampires and werewolves, and some elves, the zombies of Huang Guo should be considered dark creatures.

The sound that Benedict could hear, Li Han could naturally hear it even more, it should be the howl of a werewolf, probably because the power of the blood moon made them passively transform, I just hope they can still keep their sanity and don't run out of the mountain and bite indiscriminately.

I don't know if those vampires will also come out and run around, he looked at the small group of bats flying in the air and silently thought, does he remember that the vampire Count Field who has a grudge against him is not dead, although the vampire said that Field's injuries will sleep for at least a hundred years, who knows if what he said is true or not? Even if it's true, it doesn't mean that there won't be an accident and let Field heal his injuries in advance.

After driving for a while, Li Han suddenly said, "No, how long have we been out?" ”

Benedict took out his phone and glanced at the time: "It's almost an hour." ”

Li Han slammed on the brakes: "It stands to reason that we would have been high at this time a long time ago, why are we still in the wild, or this kind of path?" ”

Benedict was stunned and asked, "Is it slower today?" ”

Li Han shook his head: "As long as there is no limit, I am generally used to 6o-7o kilometers, and at this degree we should go up for at least 1o minutes." ”

"That's when I mislooked at the time," Benedict said unconcernedly, "how many times have you been walking, and will you still get lost?" ”

Li Han took out his bent iPhone and looked at the time, and shook his head again: "The time is right, I remember that I looked at the time when I went out of the villa and to the ranch, and now it should be high, but you see, we are still in such a desolate place, and we haven't even seen a passing car." ”

Benedict turned his head to look out the window, unable to believe that they would really get lost: "Even if we look too far at night, but we come all the way and don't see a fork in the road, how can we get lost?" ”

Li Han smiled bitterly: "I haven't paid attention to it, it's strange because there is no fork in the road." Isn't it strange enough to know that there are many villages along the way from Keswick, and there are also various roads and trails that go north or east to west, and think about the map, I don't know how many forks there should be along the way, but we don't see any of them, isn't that strange enough? ”

Benedict hurriedly opened his phone to check the map, but after half a minute, he could only weakly withdraw his phone: "Damn, there is no signal at all." ”

That's even more wrong, although there are mostly pastures and fields along the way, but the flow of people is actually not small, not to mention that the Lake District is still the most famous scenic spot in the UK, how can there be no signal? It's not a deserted place like the mountains.
