Chapter 342: Hejiaba

These are no ordinary shoes... I tried to explain, but she interrupted, "I know, your girlfriend!" ā€

"No, these shoes ... Not for people to wear. ā€

When she heard this, she looked at me with strange eyes, as if she was suspicious, and said, "Even if you don't want me to wear it, make up a reliable lie!" How can shoes not be for people? Is it difficult or for ghosts? ā€

My head was sweating, and my heart said that you were really right, this is really for ghosts... But the problem is, it's useless to explain to her!

I couldn't explain it, so I could only snatch the shoes and say seriously: "Anyway, you can't wear this, just take a look." ā€

Putting the shoes back in the bag, I suddenly felt lonely in my heart, since the last time Chen Qing was injured until now, the high heels have not moved at all, and I don't know if they are better. If she's there, I'll feel a lot more at ease.

"The more you won't let me wear it, the more curious I become." She tilted her head to look at me and said, "Is there a story between these shoes and you?" ā€

"If you're in a hurry, go clean up in the car." I waved my hand impatiently, trying to end the topic quickly.

She pursed her lips in displeasure, puffed out her cheeks and stopped talking. Leaving the restaurant and we headed back to the RV, I felt a little tired and slept in a chair for a while.

In his sleep, he was suddenly woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone, his head was a little dizzy, he took it out and looked at it, and found that it was Lu Wenliang who called, hurriedly connected, and asked directly: "Hey?" Did you find it? ā€

"Ugh." An inexplicable sigh suddenly came from the other end of the phone, and soon she said, "Tu poor." You're such a tasteless person. ā€

"Did you find it?" I really don't want to talk nonsense, every minute and second is crucial for me.

"I found out, I've really wasted a lot of effort for you, and no man can make me so troublesome."

"Where was the last call?"

"In a village, Hejiaba Village, have you heard of it?"

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and I was silent and did not answer, indicating that I did not know.

She said: "If you don't speak, then you shouldn't know, Hejiaba Village is a very peculiar village along the Yangtze River." ā€

"Peculiar?" It's the first time I've heard someone describe a village with these two words, and I'm a little curious: "What a strange method?" ā€

"The locals never work, but they're all rich, you know why?"

"I don't know."

"Because the village is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, between February and April, the amount of water in the Yangtze River becomes very small, and many of the alluvial stones from the upper reaches accumulate here, and the local people make a fortune from this stone."

"With stones?" I was a little puzzled: "How do you make money with stones?" ā€

"Because it's no ordinary stone." She said: "Those stones, are all from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River West/Tibetan Snow Mountain rushed down the stone, the locals call it the Yangtze River stone, washed down from the mountain, all the way down, after a long time of water erosion, become smooth/round, as long as it is slightly retouched, it will become a very beautiful stone, many collectors are willing to buy, the local people make money from this kind of thing." ā€

I nodded in realization, but at the same time I wondered, why did my brother go to this village?

"This is a record of your brother's last phone call, and other than that, there has been no more call." Lu Wenliang said: "If you want to find him, I'm afraid you will have to go to Hejiaba in person." ā€

I nodded, then hung up the phone, and used my mobile phone to check the location of Hejiaba on the map, near Sichuan, a little closer to the downstream area, strictly speaking, not upstream.

I searched the Internet again for information about this village, which is also known as Qishi Village, and the local people have made their fortunes from the stones washed down from the upstream, and the good stones can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

But if you think it's a lucrative job, you're wrong!

Because not just one of these stones is enough, the person who needs to pick up the stone has a strong eyesight.

The locals have been doing this kind of work for a long time, and they have long refined a pair of "fiery eyes", and when they pick up the stones, they can find valuable stones worthy of cultivation from the many stone piles at a glance.

It's not an easy job, but at a high level, it's a "craft job!"

"Why did my brother go to this place?" I looked at the map on my phone, and my whole mind was a mess: "First he went back to his hometown, then he went to Xi/Tibet, and now he is Hejiaba, what is he looking for?" ā€

"Are you leaving again?" In the car, Yue Ling cleaned up the table and asked me with a serious expression.

"Let's go." I nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said, "You just get off here, don't follow me." ā€

"This place? But I'm not familiar with this place! ā€

"Stay for a few more days and it will be cooked, and the table doesn't need to be cleaned up, go down."

I wanted her to go, not because I was really ruthless, but because I was thinking about something else.

My brother called my second uncle and said that he was going to a place and that he might not be able to come back as soon as he went, indicating that the place he was going to was dangerous.

Even he may not come back, so it's even harder for me to say, so I don't want to take her with me, maybe I'll die faster.

While urging him, I called my second uncle and explained the situation.

On the phone, my second uncle said that he would meet me in Sichuan and asked me to go over first.

I hung up the phone and was ready to act, but when I looked back and saw that she still hadn't gotten out of the car, I was a little impatient and said, "You can't get down?" ā€

"But I got out of the car and didn't know where I could go." She was very sincere, and looked at me with a blank look in her eyes, as if she was very pitiful.

"The world is so big, why can't you go?" I was amused by her cute appearance and said, "If you really don't know where to go, let's find a job with food and shelter first, and you have money and a job!" Save some money first! ā€

"But I—" She was about to say something, but the phone in my pocket rang, and I took it out and saw that it was my second uncle calling.

Tong Tong wondered: "What's the matter, second uncle?" ā€

"Little poor, about the place you mentioned, I thought about it carefully just now, let's bring it over and get ready, I always have a bad premonition."

I was stunned by what he said, and said, "Second uncle, don't talk nonsense, what can this be?" Maybe my brother just coveted the money that people could make by selling stones, so he just wanted to make a fortune. ā€

While we were talking, Yue Ling suddenly said on the side: "Second uncle! Can you take me with you? I don't want to be here! ā€

As soon as she spoke, the second uncle heard it on the phone, and his tone became surprised: "Why is there still a girl's voice?!" ā€

ā€œā€¦ It's a friend of mine. I didn't know how to explain, so I hung up the phone in a hurry, and said, "Okay, second uncle, let's just say it first, and we'll contact you later." ā€

"Don't don't, don't be in a hurry!" The second uncle sounded as if he was very excited on the phone, and stopped: "I said... This girl is your girlfriend? ā€

"No, it's just..."I wanted to say that it was just an ordinary friend, but when I turned my head and saw that she was eavesdropping with her ears pricked up, I felt that saying this would be a bit ruthless, and it would embarrass each other, so I hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a girl I met in Qianzang." ā€

"You're still going to Akazo?" He asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, I'm going to find my brother."

"Oh." He responded, followed by a moment of silence.

After a while, he said, "How is this girl?" ā€

"People?" I was stunned by his question, looked back at Yue Ling, and tried to describe it on the phone: "If you want to talk about appearance, it should be good." ā€

"Where's the temperament?"

"It's okay, why are you asking?" I'm getting a little impatient.

"I said... Although your second uncle shouldn't have said such things, Chen Qing has been gone for a few years... You really didn't want to find another girlfriend? ā€

I was stunned when I heard this, I looked up at Yue Ling, and it happened that she was also looking at me, and when my eyes met, I had a familiar feeling in a trance, and hurriedly lowered my head and said into the phone: "I didn't think about it." ā€

"I mean, what the hell is going on with you two brothers? How old are they all? Let the past pass, people always have to look forward, right? If you do this, you are not afraid that the incense of the old Tu family will be broken! ā€

I listened to his words, and I couldn't say anything in my heart. When I recalled what it looked like at the beginning, I felt a tingling in my mind.

"Second uncle, some things can be passed, but some things can't be passed for a lifetime."
