Chapter 118: It's better to act than to move
Yan Xiaokai looked in the direction Long Xiaoyu pointed, but he only looked at it for a while, and saw nothing except a forest.
"Dragon Maiden, what are you letting me see?"
Long Xiaoyu said: "Tree, don't you see it? Come here, oh, it's the tree. ”
Yan Xiaokai approached her, but while looking forward, he smelled the faint fragrance on her body between his noses, and this charming smell was exactly the same as his little senior sister.
At this moment, Yan Xiaokai couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, thinking that the girl next to him was the little senior sister, and he inhaled the taste of her body affectionately, and there was an urge to open his hand to hug her.
Long Xiaoyu saw that Yan Xiaokai was silent for a long time, thinking that he hadn't seen it, "Did you see it?" The tree that requires a man to open his arms to hug it."
Her voice made Yan Xiaokai wake up from his distraction, quickly held his mind, raised his eyes and looked in the direction she was pointing, and finally saw the tree she said, nodded and said, "I see"
Long Xiaoyu said: "That's the real treasure in our cottage."
Yan Xiaokai asked puzzledly, "What kind of tree is this?"
Long Xiaoyu said: "The more fragrant branches"
Yan Xiaokai was still confused, "What is Yue Xiangzhi?"
Long Xiaoyu explained: "The more fragrant branches are Vietnamese huanghuali, which belongs to the same genus as Hainan huanghuali, but the color is brighter, the fragrance is stronger, the texture is more chaotic, and the layers are more chaotic."
Yan Xiaokai said: "What about its price?"
Long Xiaoyu said: "Originally, the price of Huanghuali in Vietnam was only about 1.5 million"
Yan Xiaokai said: "What about now?"
Long Xiaoyu said: "In recent years, Vietnam's local virgin forests have basically been cut down, and the timber import of Vietnamese huanghuali has been completely interrupted. Nowadays, if you want to buy Vietnamese huanghuali wood to make antique furniture, you can only make transfer transactions with some companies or collectors who have stored wood in the early years, and the quantity is also very limited. According to rough estimates, there will be no more than 100 tons of Vietnamese huanghuali wood traded nationwide, which is far from meeting the market demand. The lack of wood has made the price of Huanghuali rise in Yueyue, and the price of Huanghuali in Vietnam is about 5 million per ton compared with the second sheet; Slightly better sheets are priced between 6 million and 9 million per tonne; Particularly good sheets are priced on a block basis, which is equivalent to more than 10 million per ton. ”
Yan Xiaokai said in surprise: "If that's the case, the price is not chasing Hainan Huanghuali"
Long Xiaoyu nodded, "Scarcity is precious, that's for sure." ”
Yan Xiaokai pointed to the tree and said, "Then how much can this Vietnamese huanghuali sell for?"
Long Xiaoyu said: "I can't say exactly, I can only roughly say it, it should be more than 30 million."
Yan Xiaokai was taken aback, "It's so expensive"
Long Xiaoyu said: "This is just a conservative estimate."
Yan Xiaokai asked again: "Then is there only such a tree here?"
Long Xiaoyu shook his head, "There are more in front, grandpa said that there are at least more than a hundred such huanghuali trees here, each of which is hundreds of years old." ”
Yan Xiaokai said: "Since these trees are so profitable, why don't you cut them down and sell them?" If you sell just one of these trees, you can greatly improve the living standard of your cottage."
Long Xiaoyu said: "I also asked my grandfather like this, and he told me a lot, first of all, from this realm, it is no longer our place, it is the border of other people." If we cut down in the past, it is theft and stealing other people's things. The other one, not to mention that the border is not a border, said that in the past, no one knew that Lu Dao was a valuable tree, but then he knew that Lu Dao wanted to come and cut it, and there was a war here again, and it became a minefield. When the border road was completed, Grandpa didn't have the idea of beating these Vietnamese Huang Hua Li, but a man in the village just walked less than 20 meters from the place where you just landed before he hit a mine, and he was blown up on the spot, and even the corpse could not be recovered."
Yan Xiaokai felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't say a word.
Long Xiaoyu said: "From that time on, grandpa forbade anyone to set foot in this place again. I brought you here, and if he knows about it, he will definitely scold me half to death."
Yan Xiaokai also felt that this place was terrifying, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Dragon Girl, let's go."
Long Xiaoyu was suddenly grabbed by him, his face turned red, but he didn't break away from him, just smiled: "Brother Kai, don't be afraid, as long as we don't go out of bounds and don't run around, it'll be fine."
Yan Xiaokai nodded, but still pulled her back.
Maybe he got used to pulling the little sister's hand, maybe he deliberately took advantage of it, anyway, after getting started, Yan Xiaokai didn't let go again.
Long Xiaoyu's face has always been very red, although his hand is quite generous, and it feels very warm to be held, but he is still very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to scold him for letting go, so he could only let him hold it.
When he returned to the hillside where he was planted, he could already see the busy Miao people around, and Long Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but break free of his hand.
Yan Xiaokai realized his rudeness and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry"
Long Xiaoyu shook his head, "It's okay. I know you didn't mean to, you just took me for her again."
Yan Xiaokai sighed slightly, because what she said was the truth.
Long Xiaoyu comforted softly: "Some things have passed, just forget it, it's not good for people to live in memories."
Yan Xiaokai nodded, "I know the truth, but looking at you, I just can't help it." ”
Long Xiaoyu said: "Let's not talk about this. Brother Kai, when are you going back?"
Yan Xiaokai said: "Stay here for one night today, and you should go back tomorrow."
Long Xiaoyu felt a faint reluctance in his heart, "Are you going back so soon?"
Yan Xiaokai said: "We can't toss along the way, now that the things have finally been delivered, and our task has been completed, it should be time to go back."
Long Xiaoyu said: "Don't you stay for two days again?"
Yan Xiaokai shook his head, because he really couldn't accept that the little senior sister was standing in front of him, but she treated him like a stranger. After thinking for a while, he said, "By the way, Dragon Girl, can you help me do something?"
Long Xiaoyu said: "Okay, you say, what's the matter?"
Yan Xiaokai pointed to the intersection leading to the outside at the foot of the mountain, "Isn't there a checkpoint set up two or three kilometers outside your cottage?" Can you help me see if the soldiers are still there? There's nothing particularly unusual about it? ”
Long Xiaoyu asked suspiciously: "Why do you want to see it?" Although we don't know why they want to set up checkpoints there, they treat us very easily, as long as they say that they are people from Renshatun Cottage, they don't need to check at all, and they are directly released. ”
Yan Xiaokai felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told her about the fact that his group broke through in order to send ashes to Long Kebu.
After Long Xiaoyu heard it, he agreed without saying a word, "Okay, I'll go out to see it after I go down the mountain." ”
The two of them went down the mountain together.
When he returned to the village, Long Xiaoyu walked into an old house that resembled a granary, and after a while, a large maroon Cherokee drove out of it.
As soon as this car came out, Yan Xiaokai was really startled, because he really didn't know that there was such a luxurious and magnificent car hidden in Renshatun Cottage, where there were not many tractors and motorcycles.
For the sake of safety, Long Xiaoyu drove into the cottage and called a few Miao Han in the village, and then drove the car out of the cottage.
Yan Xiaokai didn't wander around the cottage, and went back to Long Kebu's ancestral house directly.
After entering the hall, they found that Shangguan Yunchen's brother and sister and Wan Yanyu were sitting on the table of the Eight Immortals drinking tea.
Seeing Yan Xiaokai coming back, Shangguan Yunchen immediately frowned and said, "Brother, you're coming back so soon?"
Shangguan Wusu just glanced at Yan Xiaokai, although he didn't speak, there was disdain in his eyes, just this body, how much combat power can he have?
Yan Xiaokai nodded, looked left and right, and didn't find Long Kebu's figure, so he couldn't help asking, "What about that old guy?"
Shangguan Yunchen pointed inside, "In the kitchen, he said he was going to cook for us."
Yan Xiaokai was a little stunned, "So good?"
Shangguan Yunchen said: "I'm also a little worried, will this old guy poison us in the meal?"
Yan Xiaokai ignored him and walked straight in.
After entering the kitchen, I saw Long Kebu rolling up his sleeves, tying an apron, and cutting shredded potatoes on the cutting board
Hearing someone coming in, Long Kebu glanced back and saw that it was Yan Xiaokai, without squeaking, and continued to cut his own dishes.
Yan Xiaokai leaned over and said with a smile: "Mr. Long, how are you cooking?"
The old guy turned into Mr. Long, which made Long Kebu a little surprised, and when he saw him with a smile on his face, he was even more puzzled, but he still didn't say anything.
Yan Xiaokai circled around the chopping board and pinched a shredded potato, as if he was surprised, "Mr. Long, did you use to be a chef in some hotel?" This shredded potato is so finely cut, it really catches up with the master's level. ”
Longke didn't raise his head, and the urn said angrily: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief."
Yan Xiaokai's face was slightly embarrassed, "I ......"
Long Kebu still didn't look up, but interrupted him with words: "You don't need to say it, there is no door for what you want to say."
Yan Xiaokai was really taken aback at this time, "Do you know what I want to say?"
Long Kebu finally put down the kitchen knife, raised his head to look at him and snorted coldly: "It must be that the dragon girl Nan Nizi can't stand your rhetoric and takes you to see those treasures in our village, and then you moved your mind and wanted those more fragrant branches, didn't you?"
"You guessed it" Yan Xiaokai was shocked, and then laughed, "Mr. Long is really wise, I haven't cocked my tail yet, you know what I want to do"
Long Kebu just snorted coldly and continued to hang his head and chop vegetables.
Yan Xiaokai said: "Hey, Mr. Long, I didn't ask you for nothing, I'll give you money and buy it with you."
Long Kebu sneered and said, "I haven't seen money."
Yan Xiaokai pursed his lips and said deliberately: "This is how you treat your family's life-saving benefactor?" Besides, those incense sticks are not within the scope of your cottage, they are all on other people's borders."
With a "beep", Long Kebu slashed the kitchen knife on the chopping board and roared: "You know what a fart, that place was originally ours, it was Qing **, and it was divided into those incense branches that were planted by my ancestors in Miao Village."
Yan Xiaokai was taken aback, and said weakly: "What are you excited about, didn't I consult with you?"
Long Kebu waved his hand: "There's nothing to discuss, you think we don't want those more incense branches, but what about those mines, who will sweep them, will you go?"
Yan Xiaokai said: "Although I don't know how to sweep mines, I can find someone to come."
Long Kebu sneered: "Okay, even if you can sweep away the thunder, what about the South Vietnamese Army?" If you are found stealing wood from his place, will you still be alive?"
Yan Xiaokai said: "I dare to say, even if they know that there is wood in this place, they don't know that this is the precious Yue Xiang Branch, otherwise they wouldn't have sent someone to cut it earlier, as long as we move quietly, we will definitely be able to return it to the original owner."
Long Kebu's expression froze, and a hint of hesitation obviously slipped through his eyes, but then he disappeared, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it."
Yan Xiaokai said: "Old guy, there is a saying that the first strike is strong, and then the first strike, if you don't do it, others will find those more incense branches in the future, and then you will have nothing, while no one knows the Tao yet, let's ......"
Long Kebu suddenly pulled out the kitchen knife on the cutting board, raised it and said, "Say it again, I'm in a hurry."
Yan Xiaokai: "......"
