Xu Jingluo led his younger siblings and Cuiying to cut two handfuls of bamboo in the bamboo forest, and began to build a shelf for kiwi and wild grapes behind the house in the afternoon.

This was two days, and two days later the shelf was built.

The shape of the word 'door', the vines are pulled upward, and the hemp rope is carefully tied.

When the vines climb all over the shelves and bear fruit in the next year, you can imagine how gratifying it will be.

After finishing this matter, Xu Jingluo remembered the cave on the cliff again.

"Jing'an, let's go, my sister will take you on an adventure and treasure hunt." Xu Jingluo greeted Xu Jing'an with a mountaineering rope and a burden.

"Where are you going?" Xu Jing'an's eyes widened with curiosity.

"Don't ask, just follow me." Xu Jingluo kept the mystery of the way, and the two walked out of the courtyard as they spoke, and went all the way north along the cliff root, climbing to the top of the cliff according to the road they had walked before.

After coming to the waterfall, the two of them grabbed the rope and went down to the entrance of the cave.

"Sister, this is that saltpeter cave?" Xu Jingan took out an electric baton to turn on the flashlight function, and looked at the cave with a novel face.

"Hmm." Xu Jingluo answered, turned on the flashlight, and then led Xu Jingan to the cave.

"I suspect there's a rotting whale in the cave as well, so I'd like to take you on a treasure hunt." Xu Jingluo said as he gave Xu Jingan a mask.

"Rotting whales? What's on it? Xu Jingan asked puzzled while wearing a mask.

"Ambergris." Xu Jingluo couldn't hide his excitement, "This thing is many times more valuable than gold, let's see if we have the luck to find a piece today." ”

Ambergris, Xu Jing'an has heard of it, but he doesn't know where it came from.

didn't ask too much, and followed Xu Jingluo straight to the depths of the cave.

Wearing masks, the smell was not very good, and with the blessing of a flashlight, the two of them were very fast, and it didn't take long for them to come to an incomparably wide cave.

The flashlight shines in front of you, and it seems to be swallowed up by darkness at once, which shows the size of the cave.

There was a faint sound of murmuring water in my ears, and I listened closely, and the sound of waves crashing against the reef, this cave should be connected to the sea.

The two slowed down and continued to move forward, and after walking some distance, a flashlight suddenly shone on a behemoth.

The behemoth was the skeleton of an animal, the size of several houses, and it was shocking enough.

"This, this is the whale's bone?" Xu Jingan exclaimed, "I didn't expect such a huge animal to live in the sea, it's terrifying." ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of, this thing doesn't eat people, it only eats fish." Xu Jingluo said as he moved the flashlight to the ground at the whale's tail.

Ambergris is the secretion of sperm whales, and if there is one, it is in this position.

As soon as the light passed, I found that the ground was full of unrotting flesh and blood, which was disgusting to see, and it seemed that the whale had not been dead for long.

Xu Jingan was shocked at the beginning, and squatted down with his stomach in his arms.

"You wait for me here, I'll go and see."

Xu Jingluo also hurriedly moved the flashlight away, and his stomach was also overturned.

However, the flashlight moved, and she found that the light was faintly shining in the distance, and there was also a huge white skeleton, so she hurriedly took out the telescope and approached it.

With the cooperation of the telescope and the flashlight, Xu Jingluo discovered something that shocked her.

In this vast and huge cave, there are more than a dozen whale bones, which has become the grave of whales.

This may be the reason why this cave can form a saltpeter cave!

"Jing'an, you wait for me here, I'll go into the depths of the cave and take a look."

Xu Jingluo said and continued to go inside, Xu Jingan naturally would not let his sister take risks alone, and held back his nausea to follow.

Soon, the two of them walked around the first whale carcass that had not finished decomposing and came to another skeleton.

I don't know how many years this whale has been dead here, and its flesh has long since disappeared in the sea breeze, leaving only a huge skeleton.

Standing in this skeleton is like being in the belly of a small mountain, which makes people feel small.

Amazed for a moment, the two began to search for ambergris.

"What does ambergris look like?" Xu Jing'an asked, he had never seen it, and he had only heard someone talk about it once at a certain banquet.

"Black, gray, or brown, white." Xu Jingluo replied while searching around seriously, "It will emit a fragrance that is more fragrant than musk, and the texture is softer than stone." ”

As he was talking, Xu Jingluo's flashlight shone on something very similar to ambergris, and he hurriedly rushed over excitedly.

When he picked it up, he saw that it was just an ordinary river pebble, and Xu Jingluo was not disappointed and continued to look for it.

With so many whale skeletons, there are always a few sperm whales, right?

It's a pity that they couldn't find ambergris under this skeleton, so the two had to move the target to the next one.

After three bodies in a row, suddenly, Xu Jing'an's exclamation suddenly echoed in the cave.

"Fourth sister and fourth sister, ambergris, I found ambergris, it's really fragrant!"

Xu Jingluo hurriedly came over to Xu Jingan.

Xu Jing'an squatted on the ground, and a white 'big stone' was lying next to him, exuding a rich and strong fragrance.

Xu Jingluo was ecstatic.

"Wow, white ambergris, this is the most expensive kind!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked up the piece of ambergris and checked it, "At least fifteen or sixteen catties, if this is sold, it will be worth thousands of gold!" ”

Ambergris is a special wax that the whale has not digested in the stomach to accumulate in the stomach, and it can gradually exude its fragrance under the action of seawater and air after being excreted by the whale.

Xu Jingan was so excited that he couldn't speak, who could afford such a precious thing except for the royal family? It's normal to have a lot of money.

"I'll put it away first." Xu Jingluo directly picked up this piece of ambergris into his personal space, "Look for it again, maybe there will be more." ”

The two continued to move forward with flashlights.

This person, luck is really out of control, after searching the entire cave, a total of seven pieces of ambergris were found, large and small colors, conservatively estimated at about fifty catties.

Xu Jingluo was all put into the space warehouse, this thing is too fragrant, once it is exposed, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

It's all right to put the space in the warehouse, and no one can take them.

The two of them talked excitedly as they left the cave.

"Brother Jing'an, you have all the money to study and marry a daughter-in-law." Xu Jingluo raised his hand and patted Xu Jing'an's shoulder twice, this guy has grown taller again during this time, and he is a head taller than her.

used to be as thin as a bamboo, and his arms and legs were full of muscles, and he grew into a tall and sturdy young man.

"I'm not married." Xu Jing'an grinned and said, "Our family will always be together. ”

"Then you are still trying to marry the fourth sister everywhere? Catch a stranger, just the brother-in-law and the fourth brother-in-law are so affectionate? ”

"I think Brother Changgong is a good match for you, and I really love you and Runtian Yibao."

"The fourth sister doesn't care, in the future, when you see a girl who really loves you and is true to you, the fourth sister will make the decision for you and let you marry her."

The siblings fought all the way out of the cave and climbed the rope to the top of the cliff.

When they returned to the village, the two went to the school to play, and in just three days, the foundation had been laid smoothly.

Uncle Ye greeted them happily when he saw them, took out two handfuls of boiled chestnuts from his pocket and handed them to Xu Jingluo and Xu Jingan.

"Luo girl, you saved me that day, and I haven't had time to thank you yet."

"What do you want to be thankful for?" Xu Jingluo looked at the school while peeling chestnuts, "It's bare and not cool enough around here, so you have to transplant some trees around." ”

"Uh-huh." Uncle Ye nodded in agreement, "What kind of tree does Luo Yatou think is appropriate?" After it is decided, ask someone to transplant it. ”

"Palm trees, you can't plant fruit trees anyway, otherwise, those naughty monkeys can't slander the trees full of fruit?"

"Haha, that makes sense, then plant palm trees."

The two were talking, and suddenly saw a few sedan chairs coming from the north, followed by many strong men.

"Luo girl, the one who finds fault is here."

Everyone knew about Zhu Lingxiang hiring people to repair roads to the seaside, so Uncle Ye understood what was going on at a glance, and greeted the men who were busy on the floor of the school while talking.

"Big guys, pay attention, someone is coming to find Luo Yatou's stubble, let's gather it, maybe there will be a fight later."
