Chapter 331: Underground Cave

"Uncle, what do I know?"

"Old Man Zhang didn't tell you?"

"Say what? I don't know. ”

Li Qiuhua smiled: "Have you ever looked at that mountain carefully?" It was like a phoenix, and after the old man told me, I looked around it, and the more I looked at it, the more it looked. The place where your grandfather is buried is under the claws of the phoenix, so if you look at our family, the wealth of these years is like you will find the door. There are two other places that are good places to bury graves, one is the forest on the hillside, the old man said that it was the wings of the phoenix, and the old man was buried, and the family was going to be a big official; A forest on the top of the other hill is the eye of the phoenix, burying the old man, and it is to be the emperor. ”

"Uncle, you're going to buy this mountain and bury the old man, right? But we don't have any old people at home. ”

"Yes, looking at your grandmother's body, it's okay to live for more than ten or 20 years, but we can stay first. I know you won't believe it, but we'd rather believe it than believe it. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Uncle, since you have made an appointment with them, you can go in." I wouldn't object to what you want. ”

Li Qiuhua smiled: "If your grandmother is a hundred years later, where do you think it is good to bury it?" That's the case, how much money do we spend now, your father and I are half of each brother, and when the time comes, you or Xiangyang will have a great future, so let's have our own destiny. ”

"Okay, I hope our family can prosper. Uncle, will you build a tomb for your grandfather? Otherwise, I'll send somebody. ”

Li Qiuhua said: "With us as our son, you don't care, my men and materials are already on the way." And also. You are a civil servant. My dealings with the office. Don't get involved, go back. ”

When I got home, I told my mother that my uncle was already in charge of this matter, and my mother said, "Your uncle is right, after all, he is a son." If you want to be filial to your grandfather, you can't deprive him of the right to do his filial piety. ”

Wuyang was right when he thought about it, so he didn't care about it, but he didn't expect it to be two days later. Uncle called out of the blue. "Wuyang, our construction team found a hole next to your grandfather's grave, you hurry up and take a look."

"Uncle, are you going down to the cave to see, what have you prepared?"

Li Qiuhua said: "Ropes, flashlights, oxygen cylinders, gas masks, etc., are all ready, you can just come directly." ”

Wuyang greeted Huang Jiming and drove to the scene. A lot of workers and machinery are working, and the road leading to the mountain has been built for several hundred meters. But it is not possible to drive to the cemetery yet.

"Uncle, how did you find this hole?"

"Where did you find it? It was the workers who took stones to fill the roadbed here, and when they took them, the hole was exposed, and the workers were scared away. ”

Seeing Zhou Dian standing next to his uncle, Wuyang asked him, "Brother Dian, is there anything abnormal?" ”

Zhou Dian said: "There is no abnormality, so I prepared these things and wanted to go down and find out." When I reported to the boss, he said that you are good at martial arts and that it is safer to go down, so he called you. ”

Wuyang picked up the flashlight and shone it into the cave, it was dark and swarthy, and he couldn't see anything. "Uncle, I'll go down and have a look."

So he tied the rope, put on the oxygen cylinder, took the things and went down to the hole. The entrance to the cave is a cliff, several meters high below and above, and the entrance to the cave is basically in the middle. When I went down to the ground and lit it up, it was all hard rock, nothing strange, and the ground was quite flat, just slightly sloping downward. After walking for 200 meters, there is a height difference of about 20 meters, and you will reach the bottom of the cave. Look at the top of your head, the distance from the ground is about where the strong flashlight just reaches, that is, about 100 meters. Further on, it's uphill.

When I continued to the end, there was nothing but stones, and I turned back and walked in a few other directions, but I saw water dripping in several places, forming stalactites on the ground. It stands to reason that the water should have flowed to a lower place, but I didn't see the water in the lowest place just now, and I didn't know where the water had arrived.

Looking at the bottom of the stalactite, there are no water stains, it is estimated that it has penetrated into the stone. When he returned to the entrance of the cave, he shouted, and his uncle and Zhou Dian collected the ropes.

"Uncle, there's nothing in it, it's just a cave, and there's nothing nice to look at, I haven't taken off my gas mask, I don't know what the air quality is inside."

Li Qiuhua said: "It's good if there is nothing, have you seen it, is it under your grandfather's grave?" ”

Wuyang gestured, "No, but grandpa's grave is not very far from the cave wall." Uncle, I'm leaving, you can find someone to seal the hole. ”

Zhou Dian said: "Brother, don't you need a place to store jadeite, why don't you use this cave as a warehouse." ”

Wuyang smiled: "How can I have so many things to put in it, but building some houses here can not only guard the tomb, but also guard the treasure, and it is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Brother Dian, I'll trouble you to fix it, and I'll pay for it. ”

Uncle Li Qiuhua said: "Wuyang, it's not that I'm reluctant to let Zhou Dian help you do things, but I think it's better for your own people to repair this warehouse, so as not to know too many people." ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "Uncle, if Brother Dian takes someone to repair, there will be fewer people who know about this matter, because the warehouses at home are all repaired by them." And Brother Dian also knows how to cultivate, so it's best not to bother the two masters. My construction workers can also be found, and Brother Dian will arrange for them to do other things, so that the construction progress will be faster. ”

"Well, since you insist on letting Zhou Dian build, I have no objection. I have something to do, so let's discuss how to do it. After saying that, the uncle drove away.

Wuyang said: "Brother Dian, the terrain in the cave is two meters lower than the entrance of the cave, so you have to arrange some openings below, and the road up the mountain must change the route. ”

Zhou Dian said: "Do you want to drive the car in or not when you store the goods in the future?" Is the ground in the cave repaired or not? ”

Wuyang said: "Brother Dian, I just want to use the cave as a temporary transfer station, and you can build it as a place to stack goods." Any cargo can be stored. This is especially true for non-metallic goods. Such as wood, jadeite, etc., you can build according to this idea. ”

Zhou Dian said: "I understand. I think it's enough to just rest a little bit in the cave and form multiple rungs, and I don't care about the top of the cave and the walls; The entrance to the cave should still be more wide, large cars can enter and exit, and as for the gate, a few more doors should be installed. It must be fireproof, explosion-proof and burglar-proof, is that okay? ”

"Okay, I'll build the walls and the buildings above the cemetery later. Brother Dian, the construction must be hurried, I may have to transport the wood back. Again, the longer it drags on, the more people will know. ”

"No problem, you can use it in half a month."

"Thank you, my construction worker came in the afternoon."

After Wuyang left, he called to arrange personnel while driving. As soon as the phone hung up, Xiaobao called. "Brother Wuyang. The vehicle transporting jade from the northwest has returned, where do you see the goods being unloaded? ”

"You can store it in the warehouses of both of your factories."

"I'm afraid I can't fit that much. This time, the cars were all loaded with 80 tons, and the warehouses of the two factories were half full. ”

"Xiaobao, just put it in the flat in front of the warehouse and cover it with colored striped cloth. There is no way, your warehouse there is full, the warehouse of the wood processing plant is already full, and it is impossible for the logistics center to stack these things, and there are not many of them. If there is a way half a month later, I am building a new warehouse, which will be ready for use soon. ”

"Brother Wuyang, that's the only way to go. The leading driver said that after they unloaded the goods, they would soon return to the northwest, and they had already made an appointment with the 20 military vehicles that delivered the goods to Huaiyang, and they could not be delayed. ”

"Okay, if you feel the need to strengthen the defense force, contact Chairman Xiong and them, and you must not take it lightly."

"I know, don't worry. Brother Wuyang, your new warehouse has to be built quickly, and these cars will be back soon. ”

The days went by like this, and it was Friday again, Zeng Min called in the morning: "Wuyang, I'm coming back today, do you want to take time to receive me?" ”

"Okay, I'll take you home today. Call me when you get back to Lujiang. ”

Since the last time we had a skin-to-skin relationship, a few weeks have passed, either Zeng Min has no time, or Wuyang wants to go to Guo Xiangli's side to choose diamonds, or go to Hong Feifei's house, and the two have never had a chance to meet.

At more than 3 o'clock, Zeng Min called, saying that he had arrived in the city, looking in which direction, Wuyang told him the general direction, made an appointment to meet the place, and left the office.

Seeing Zeng Min at the urban-rural junction of Huishi Villa, Wuyang put his head in through the car window and kissed her. Zeng Min said with a smile: "You said that you miss me, it's fake at all, otherwise you wouldn't have come to the county to see me." ”

Wuyang said: "I went to the county, and it was difficult to find you, didn't it add to my troubles?" ”

Zeng Min said: "You just don't have this mind, where a county is so big, you can't find a place to rest?" A living person can still suffocate urine. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll be home in a few minutes, and I'm sure to leave all your worries behind." ”

After returning home, Wuyang led Zeng Min to see his grandmother and mother, Zeng Min just hugged the child, and was led upstairs.

After entering the room, Xiaoya had already put hot water, how could the two of them have time to take a bath, so they started after a hasty rinse. After a while, Liu Rong, Yu Ying, and Zhang Ling all came in.

Everyone was familiar with it, and Liu Rong said: "Xiaomin, it's better to be newlywed after a long absence." ”

Zeng Min said: "Sister, come on, I can't do it." As he spoke, he pushed the afternoon sun.

After taking turns fighting with a few people, Zeng Min said: "Wuyang, I still want it." ”

Xiaoya smiled: "Sister Min, this is our sister's style." ”

Zeng Min said: "Sisters still have a style? ”

Liu Rong said: "It is a style that can only be said behind closed doors, that is, as long as your body allows, don't be afraid of others saying that you are sassy, the more sassy you are, the more you like it." ”

Zeng Min said: "Sister, I may be old, and I think about it in my heart, but my body can't stand it." ”

Liu Rong said: "Silly sister, you are younger than your sister, right?" This matter is the same as other work, we must adhere to the spirit, persistence is victory. ”

"Okay, Wuyang, come on, I'll give it a try." Zeng Min said and lay on Wuyang.

After a while, Han Yun's voice sounded at the door: "Brother, sister, it's time to eat, the dishes are on the table." ”

Hurriedly packed up, Wuyang said, "Han Yun." In the future, you don't need to go upstairs to shout about this kind of thing. Just shout downstairs. ”

Han Yun said: "I read the book for a while. Watching TV again, I have nothing to do all day long, and I always doze off. ”

Xiaoya said: "Xiaoyun, this can't work, you have to find a way." ”

Yu Ying also said: "Now Xiaoyun lives alone in a villa, and he can't sleep well at night. By the way, today is Xiaoyun's 14th birthday, and he is already an adult. ”

Wuyang said: "We didn't buy any gifts. Let the kitchen add vegetables first, and go shopping in the evening. ”

Han Yun said: "The dishes at every meal are very good, so don't add them." During this time, I bought more clothes and other things than in the past, and I didn't lack anything. ”

Xiaoya said: "Wuyang, I will decorate the room for Sister Min after dinner, and you will take them to take bracelets and necklaces." ”

Zeng Min said: "I came to play mahjong with my sisters. ”

Zeng Min came on the first day, I didn't know that the family had never played mahjong, Liu Rong used to play mahjong as a compulsory course every day, and I heard that Zeng Min wanted to play. Immediately chimed in: "Okay, I'll have one." ”

Xiao Ya said: "Xiao Ying, Xiao Ling, you either go to the next one." Either take turns to fight, and you have to leave a seat for your mother-in-law. She used to fight every once in a while, but now she doesn't even play during the New Year's holidays, and she is tired. ”

Yu Ying said: "Sister Xiaoya, don't worry, we don't dare to work too hard, it's best for two people to take turns." ”

Wuyang said: "Then I'll go buy a mahjong machine after dinner." ”

Liu Rong said: "You have already arranged work, so you will be busy." I'm going to be better, and you don't know what brand of mahjong machine is good. ”

The plan has been decided, and when I went downstairs and talked to my mother Luo Hongying, I hit it off, and I decided to buy a few more mahjong machines and put the living room on the 3rd floor of the only empty villa.

Xiaobao and Chun Tao came to pick up the child, and when they saw Wuyang, they both stood up and called "Brother Wuyang." Wuyang glanced at Chun Tao, who looked generous and square, and couldn't see any changes.

Wuyang and Xiaobao sat on the sofa and chatted, Chun Tao sat next to Wuyang with the child in his arms, and the two of them were on each side of Wuyang. Xiaobao talked about the two processing plants, "Brother Wuyang, now we have basically enough carvers, the apprentices have all been released, and several outstanding ones have emerged. ”

Wuyang asked, "Did they learn to carve nephrite or jadeite?" ”

"Now we don't have such a strict distinction, both kinds of jade require learning to be considered a teacher. The few polishing apprentices I brought with me were able to operate independently, and I was basically responsible for the organization and management, and there was no specific dry carving. ”

"Xiaobao, do the college students we recruited who graduated from the arts and crafts have design works now?"

Xiaobao smiled, "It's been so long, there must be a work." There just isn't anything satisfying. Brother Wuyang, in fact, this kind of design is mainly based on inspiration, and there is nothing new about what you hold out when you sit in the office. There is also the need to have a rich imagination, some jade originally have a plausible shape, if you don't stick to the inherent model, you can design something amazing. It's a pity that we still don't have such good things. ”

"No, don't worry, don't rush them, it's best to let them go down to the workshop more, observe the jade more, and you may be able to produce good things." Good baby, it's time to eat, let mom take you to wash your hands. Wuyang turned his head and spoke to Xiaobao's daughter. After listening to Wuyang's words, Chun Tao hugged the child and walked away.

Xiaobao said: "Brother Wuyang, when the car comes back this time, I will put the jade in your new warehouse, and transfer all the jade in the ping, and the warehouse will also vacate some of it, and about 20 cars of ink jade will be transported back." ”

"Moyu has started mining?"

"Yes. It was mined after it was frozen. After Zhu Qibin arrived, he bought explosives, leaving less than 200 people to mine white jade, plus the new arrivals recently, more than 2,000 people were used to mine black jade. ”

"Did you talk to Zhu Qibin on the phone? There are so many cars this time, is there any jade transport? Wuyang asked.

"Zhu Qibin called me just to prepare a place for me to store. Not only will the cars be fully loaded this time, but they will also have to rest for about 10 days, and these 1,500 cars will have to do this until the heavy snow covers the mountains. You have to prepare plenty of space. ”

"Okay, you sue Zhu Qibin, the place will be fine immediately, even if he ships at this rate for 10 years, he will not worry about having no place to store jade."

Xiaobao said, "What are you doing, didn't you see you building a house?" ”

"There is no need to build a house this time, next to your grandfather's cemetery, a large underground karst cave was found, with a diagonal of nearly 2,000 meters and a height of 3 or 40 meters.

Xiaobao calculated, "Brother Wuyang, if it is full, it will take 100 years, and I don't need to rush to sell." ”

"Xiaobao, how is your diamond cutting going?"

Xiaobao said: "We didn't learn from our teachers, at most, when they went out to ask someone to cut, they secretly learned a little, plus I used to cut your diamonds, and accumulated some experience, so it was not good at the beginning, we still overcame the difficulties one by one." ”

"What's in it?"

"One is the problem of facets, such as cutting into circles and hearts, which is difficult to grasp at first, and I don't know how many diamonds have been cut before I can basically master it. Later, it is a matter of weight, for example, we want to cut a 10-carat diamond, cut out and polished, it will be a few points less, up to more than 80 points, fortunately, these small diamonds can still be used, we have basically mastered the essentials now, and can cut into the required weight. Of course, our biggest takeaway was learning how to make the best use of each natural form of diamond to cut the jewelry diamond we need. ”

Wuyang smiled, "That means that I can use it freely." This is an important component of a diamond's value. (To be continued......)
