The old grandmother said, "That...... It's been a long time, how many years have it been? I can't remember it for a while. ”

Lu Yu smiled: "Then try to recall." ”

The old woman said, "Okay. ”

There was tenderness in her eyes, and this expression alone proved that the relationship between the two people was not ordinary.

Don't...... Is it a concubine?

Lu Yu and the battalion commander both thought of this possibility, and glanced at each other with some embarrassment.

Lu Yu's eyes were full of drama, the kind of expression that watched the show and couldn't hold back his laughter, while the battalion commander had an embarrassed expression and wanted to drive Lu Yu away.

But obviously, Lu Yu wouldn't really laugh, and the battalion commander really wouldn't drive him away.

The two of them suddenly glared at each other, and listened to the old woman continue.

The old grandmother said, "One hundred and twenty years ago, it was a winter......

"Didn't you say you couldn't remember the time?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but complain, but was glared at by the battalion commander again.

The old grandmother didn't care, opened the chatterbox, and continued: "Our family has lived on a large island nearby for generations, and it was originally a happy and happy place, but because of an unexpected thunder and lightning, everything has changed......

More than 100 years ago, a storm at sea swept through all the land around the Pacific Ocean.

The islands above are in the middle of the first schedule.

Only !一正p(版,@其他都:》is "(pirate¤版*

Some places were covered in floodwaters for up to a month, leaving nothing but shells on them.

And the big island, although it escaped the tragedy of being submerged by the sea, was invaded by the thunder of the storm for several days.

The thunder hit the ground, scorched the earth, and some people living on it were even struck by the thunder and died directly on the spot.

After the disaster, only 30% of the island's people are still alive.

And when everything calmed down, and when they began to collect the corpses on the island, they found that an extremely beautiful stone appeared on the ground.

It's like a ruby, and it's even more translucent than the color of a ruby.

This kind of stone is self-crystallized, there are no impurities, not to mention crystal clear, as long as it is knocked off other stones, it can be directly made into various jewelry, and those diamond-shaped planes on the surface are as if carefully ground and cut.

The inhabitants of the island didn't feel much about it, they just collected it as much as they could, and used it as they pleased.

After a year, when the merchants from outside came to the island to trade, they found this kind of jewelry on the island, and brought some of the jewelry and news out, and as a result, countless jewelers from all over the world flocked to it, including one of the largest jewelers in the world, who paid a high price to buy out all the gems on the island, and even gave this gem a name.

It's called Hilhi Stone, which means a stone made by lightning condensation.

Others like to call it Bloodstone.

According to the research of some scientists and scholars, this gemstone should be because the soil of the island is extremely high in a certain element, after lightning erosion, this element and several other elements are separated from the stone, and then condensed into crystals, it became this gemstone.

There is no place in the world except here that has such a peculiar soil, nor is it so easy to be struck by lightning, and similarly, there is no such 'refining' process like a baptism of thunder.

Therefore, this Shilhi stone is attached to the two most important properties of jewelry, beauty and rarity.

When the world's largest jeweler, almost the world's largest, quoted a staggering price to the island's inhabitants.

They first showed great excitement and joy, but then they developed greed.

They should regret having such thoughts.

But it's too easy for anyone to think of it, and everyone thinks of it.

It's very simple, you have something that you don't know it's worth, and one day a guy pops up and buys it at a lot more than your psychological price...... What do you think? Is the other party stupid? Has there been no place to spend the money? Or is the other party taking a fancy to himself and giving himself a lot of money for this reason? Of course, it is impossible to think so, unless...... Others are not stupid, you are, or extremely narcissistic, to have such thoughts.

The general idea is that what you have in your hands must be very valuable.

Since the other party has given this high price, it proves that this thing should be more valuable!

As it turned out, the islanders were right, they didn't buy out all the gems, but sold them at any time in the form of an auction.

The price at the beginning was really not too high, and it really couldn't be high.

But with the occurrence of several earth-shattering events in the world, and in these events, there is the shadow of this Hilhi stone.

Therefore, the popularity of Hilxi stone has risen for a time, the price has also risen, and the auction has become more and more popular.

As a result, this gem, which can be stepped on by walking in the local area, but is the only one in the world that can be produced here, instantly brought unimaginable wealth to the island.

This should have been considered a good thing.

But for the people of the island, this is definitely a bad thing.

After the disaster, there were 600,000 people on the island, and in the past few years, the number has reached more than 1 million.

But compared to a modern city, the number of people is very small.

But just like that, there are still two groups of warlords on this island!

Yes, warlords.

The two big families who were originally on the island, united with all the neighbors in the vicinity, bought a large number of arms with the wealth exchanged for gems, and began to use the principle of warlords to monopolize the entire island.

In just five years, less than 200,000 people remained on the island of more than 1 million people.

Above the blood and corpses, there was still a peaceful auction, beautiful gems, and beautiful women.

The grandmother's family belonged to the side of the defeated warlords, just because the grandmother's father carried a gun to fight, and after they failed, the grandmother watched her father be beheaded, and then her mother was humiliated, and even if she was young, she did not escape the aggression of some people with special hobbies.

After being played with, what awaits them is endless labor.

They became artisans in the mining of gemstones.

At this time, an outsider came to this so-called country, looking in his twenties, quite young, always with a dusty look on his face, but always with a smile that made people look comfortable.

He appeared out of nowhere, was caught, and then thrown into the mines as labor.

When the old grandmother saw this guy for the first time, her first feeling was ...... This thin and small, I am afraid that he will be exhausted to death in a few days, he will not be able to mine anything at first glance, and do not share our dinner at night, and then he will not be able to eat enough.
