The old county magistrate called last night, so Cai Hongming didn't go out with Xi Weifeng and them the next day, but came to the county government office.

When the old county magistrate saw him coming, he told him the results of the meeting.

"After the resolution of the county meeting, it was unanimously agreed to sell the sandy land in front of Qilian Village to you at a price of 2,500 yuan per mu, but there are several conditions: first, the purchased land shall not be leased, transferred, or sold separately, and can only be owned by you personally; Second, the effect of desertification prevention and control should be seen within five years, and if there is no effect, the county government has the right to take it back; 3. One-fifth of the purchased land is allowed to be used for construction, but the building may not be bought, sold or rented as real estate. Fourth, the purchased land can only be used for forestry, agriculture and tourism, and may not be engaged in industrial production or real estate sales. Otherwise, the county government has the right to take it back. 5. The purchased land shall not be less than 1,000 acres.

That's pretty much it, if you feel like you can, you can go to the county to sign a contract, and that piece of land will be yours in the future.

In fact, the main reason for saying so much is that I am afraid that you will sell that piece of land, and we will not be able to explain to you if you sell it at such a cheap price without adding some rules and regulations. The old county magistrate explained to Cai Hongming.

Cai Hongming nodded in understanding.

After thinking about it, I felt that although the terms were a bit harsh, I bought the land and didn't think about anything else, so these were not valid for me at all.

So, the next day he found a lawyer and . The county signed a contract, and the desert in front of Qilian Village will be his.

Speaking of which, that piece of land is more than 1,000 acres, but the land over there is not worth anything at all, even if there is more, no one will say anything, anyway, the contract says, it is only 1,000 acres, and if there is land acquisition or something in the future, it will still be calculated as 1,000 acres.

After buying the land, Cai Hongming did not immediately plant trees and vegetables on it, but first asked people to use two-meter-long cement pillars to fence off the land he bought, and then wait for the spring of the next year to start development.

On the day of the signing, he contacted the excavators and workers in the town to set up cement pillars in Qilian Village. Qilian Village, which was originally deserted, suddenly became lively because of the arrival of these people.

Standing in front of the house, Cai Hongming looked at the busy crowd on the top of the mountain in the distance.

On the top of the mountain, the forklift first shoveled out a road, followed by the car carrying the cement pillar, and then the workers behind kept unloading the cement pillar and erecting it. In just a few moments, a row of two-meter cement pillars was erected. Look at the busy people above. At this moment, he realized the true meaning of the phrase spending money like flowing water.

Now there are hundreds of labor, and the forklift is hundreds an hour, which costs thousands of dollars a day, but fortunately he still has hundreds of thousands of dollars left after buying the land, otherwise don't think about surrounding the cement pillar.

After taking a look, Cai Hongming turned around and went back to the house, anyway, those jobs have been contracted to others, and he just needs to wait for acceptance.

When I came to the house, the eighth prince, the third master, the fifth master, and Uncle Fu were sitting together playing cards. Don't look at Fu Shu, who is usually stupid, but he is very clever when playing cards.

Cai Hongming was not interested in these, just watching TV on the side.

After fighting for a while, taking a break halfway, the third master got up and ran to the house to get something out, and said to Cai Hongming: "Hongming, come and see, is this thing a treasure?" ”

Cai Hongming took a look at the things he took out, and suddenly found that it was a jade carved Buddha's hand, inlaid with gold leaf, smooth and shiny. The Buddha pinched the handprint, and there was a seal engraved on the palm of his hand, and the printed Chinese characters were strange, and he couldn't understand them at all.

"Third master, this is a good thing, where did you come from?" Cai Hongming asked.

"I picked it up when I was herding sheep." When the third master heard that it was a good thing, he immediately laughed on his face.

"Far from us?"

"Far away."

"Can I drive my motorcycle?"

"I can't drive it, but I can drive to the foot of the mountain over there and walk over there." After asking, Cai Hongming's heart moved.

This severed hand was clearly broken off from one of the hands holding the mudra on the thousand-armed Guanyin. In other words, there should be a thousand-armed Guanyin, and where there are Buddha statues, there are usually temples, or grottoes. Perhaps there is a cave nearby that no one has ever discovered. If you can find it and get one or two antiques from it, wouldn't it be distributed, and the funds for the development of the desert will be available in the future. Thinking about it, Cai Hongming's heart became hot, and he planned to ask the third master to take him to find the place where the broken hand was, maybe he could find any clues.

Chinese people are always keen on finding treasures, and the elderly are no exception.

When the third master heard that he was going to find something, he immediately nodded and agreed, and the eighth prince also followed after hearing it.

So, the fifth master and the stupid uncle were left in the village to take care of the house, Cai Hongming cleaned up, carried a backpack full of food, and some flashlights, shovels, ropes and other tools that could be used, and drove a eighth prince and the third master to the place where the broken hand was found.

The third master will sometimes go far away to herd the sheep, drive the sheep over one mountain after another, and then go back, generally walk like this, the sheep will be full.

Cai Hongming drove at the foot of the mountain, the land at the foot of the mountain gradually desertified, and there were no trees anymore, only some grass growing sparsely.

After driving for about two hours, when they reached the foot of a mountain, the third master asked him to stop the car, and then the three of them got out of the car and walked to the sand in front of them on foot. After walking for about an hour from the sandy land at the foot of the mountain to the sand dunes, the three of them came to the location of a sand dune that looked like waves.

The third master pointed to the depression between the two sand dunes and said, "That thing was found over there." ”

He got this thing by pure accident, that time he herded sheep here, on the mountain found that there was a bright light flashing here, thought it was some kind of treasure, ran over to see, found that it was a broken hand, felt bad luck and wanted to throw it away, but reluctant, so he took it back.

Cai Hongming took a look at the place, then picked up the shovel and a pointed iron rod and walked down, then inserted the iron rod into the sand, and knocked it down with the wooden handle of the shovel.

After knocking for a while, the iron rod seemed to have pierced something and could not be inserted. So he took a shovel and dug it where the rod was attached. After a while, a skeleton was dug up, and the surface of the skeleton had been corroded for some time.

Cai Hongming didn't care about himself, no matter how he said that he had disturbed the peace of others, he dug him out and found a new place to bury him.

I didn't expect to dig casually, I could dig something, although it was not an antique treasure, but it made him interested. So, he continued to dig down, and after a while, he found a tile.

Not just one, but a bunch.

Cai Hongming cleaned up the place where he dug up the tiles, and found that the tiles were arranged very neatly, as if they were the roof of a house, which couldn't help but be strange. So, he picked up the tile, and a black hole was suddenly revealed underneath, and he took a flashlight to shine inside, looking at the wall decorations inside the house, it was clearly a Tibetan Buddhist temple.

"Hongming, did you find anything?" The third master asked above.

"There seems to be a temple down there."

Cai Hongming didn't continue to look at it, climbed up the hill, and said to the two old men: "Eighth Gong, you and the third master go to the car first and wait, I'll go down and have a look." There should be a lama temple below, and it is empty inside, and I am afraid that it will not be good for you to fall into it if the temple collapses. ”

"It's okay, I'll take a look here." Hachiko waved his hand and said unmindfully.

"Still don't want it, you go over there and wait, I'll go in and see if something comes out immediately."

As he spoke, Cai Hongming pulled the two old men back to the motorcycle, then tied the rope to the beams in the temple, and pulled the rope to slide towards the temple.
