Shi Liu put the wooden box on the earthen kang and beckoned Hao Chen to come over before unbuttoning the cloth button. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
An old box of red lacquered wood appeared in front of him, the silver wire on the wooden box outlined the outline of the clouds, and the outline was inlaid with luodian, so delicate that it had nothing to do with this simple mountain village.
A pair of red and yellow skins, as if the red apples that had just been picked from the tree appeared in front of Hao Chen, which was slightly larger and more real than the one on the plate, and even the spots on the skin seemed to be natural.
"What's the matter, this is an ancestral treasure! Even the old village chief next door doesn't know!hehe......" Shi Liu's eyes lit up, and he looked proud, he picked up one of them through the yellow cloth, and looked at it carefully, unable to hide his cherished feelings.
"This fruit has been around for a long time, right?" Hao Chen didn't dare to do it, squatted in front of the kang and looked carefully, he had heard of the value of old objects, and he also had a relative who was not far away, and he liked to write antique things, but this kind of "stone fruit" with years was really the first time he had seen it.
"Kangxi year!" The old stone held the baby boy and looked at it carefully, and then re-wrapped it and put it back.
"What a national treasure!" Hao Chen is not so fond of antiques, he is now more concerned about the source of these stones, and it is even better to have a ready-made mine.
"Haha, keep eating, it won't warm your stomach when it's cold for a while. After putting away the baby, Shi Liu continued to sit down and brought himself another glass of wine.
"Uncle, is this stone fruit carved from the stone of the back mountain?" Hao Chen was really curious, so he didn't have to deliberately disguise any expression at all.
"How can it, the stones on this mountain are soft, they can't be carved, and the stones used for the fruit have to go over the mountain behind our house, and then go east, there is an old stone mine, and only the stone can carve good fruits. After drinking about 4 glasses of wine, Shi Liucai filled a bowl of rice and ate it.
"That's far away!" Hao Chen ate all the rice in the bowl, filled it again, and saw that Shi Liu was no longer talking and concentrating on eating, and he didn't talk much.
After the meal, he looked at the watch and saw that it was already early 2 o'clock, Shi Liu cleaned up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and asked Hao Chen to go to the house to rest by himself, and he was also napping in the house.
Back in the room, Hao Chen sat down slightly, climbed a hill to the east, this distance could be reached in less than an hour with his current foot strength, instead of sitting in the house, it was better to explore the way.
As soon as he said to go, Hao Chen stood up, took out the simplest bag from his bag, and walked out of the yard as soon as he closed the door. As soon as he went out, he met a young man in jeans and small leather shoes, with bangs around his eyes, leaning against the village chief's door and smoking. Seeing Hao Chen come out, he turned his head, looked up and down, looked at Hao Chen, nodded to each other and didn't speak.
Although Hao Chen felt that this person was like a gangster in the village, it didn't hinder him anything, so he didn't bother with it, and walked straight from Shi Liu's house to the back mountain.
The back mountain is not high, there are many vegetable fields surrounded by branches and fences behind the house, the stream is clear and cold, and a few large square stones are embedded in the stream, leading straight to the opposite bank, walking past, but it is quite like the scene in the animation.
The back mountain is not high, there are some deciduous trees, there is an apple orchard at the bottom of the mountain, the red fruit hangs on the treetops, it makes people greedy to look at, Hao Chen really couldn't help it when he walked to the end, he secretly picked one, and the sweetness of his mouth was full of one mouthful, which made people feel more comfortable.
After turning over the mountain, a bluestone road full of barren grass in the mountain nest is in front of you, the road has been extending to the east, I think it is leading to the stone mine, the road is flat, the surrounding mountains are connected with mountains, but there are few stone and soil slopes on this road, maybe it is also for the convenience of walking.
There was no one around, Hao Chen used the strength of the system with peace of mind, this was supposed to be an hour's journey, and after 20 minutes, he saw not far away, like old equipment that only existed in an abandoned mine.
A rusty cart, a rails that stretched out, and a hoe and an iron bucket that were thrown aside and rusted to pick up the slag, and then there was a black hole in front of the mountain.
The fragments of the stones at the door were piled up like a small mountain, Hao Chensan walked over in two steps, picked up a small stone and looked at it carefully, and the system appeared again, and found Kunshi.
It seems that this is Shi Liukou, the abandoned old stone mine.
Before this, except for Zi Yan and the dragon scales that were pulled off the old dragon's body, Hao Chen had never put objects in the real world into the system backpack, he only knew that the items in the backpack could be realistic, but he was not sure that he could throw real things into it.
"It doesn't matter if you put some stones, you don't have a car or an aircraft carrier. The drum elder knew his concerns and deliberately prompted him.
"How much is it?" Hao Chen asked.
"It's definitely not going to work if you have to go up to tons of stones, but the pile of stones in front of you can be completely put down, enough to absorb tonight. ”
Hao Chen doesn't plan to stay in this mountain for three months, three days at most, so explore the road today, and tomorrow you can find a reason, come to the cave to absorb energy during the day, and then go back to spend the night at night, of course, Hao Chen didn't plan to live and eat for nothing, it is necessary to leave a thousand eight hundred yuan for Shi Liu.
Checking the stone in his hand, Hao Chen focused his attention for a moment, only to hear a ding, the ore in his hand disappeared immediately, and at the same time, the system sent a notice to inform Hao Chen that he had obtained a piece of "Kunshi".
On the way back, Hao Chen felt the weight of an extra pile of stones in his bag, but it didn't seem to make any difference, running and jumping away was not affected at all.
Walked around the ore vein, it seemed that no one had been here for many years, at most there were a bit of wild dog and wild cat footprints and leftover bone residue and excrement, and it was not even a substantial animal nest here, it was dark early in the mountains, and Hao Chen didn't say hello to Shi Liu when he went out, so he walked back without entering the mine.
Never quietly enjoyed the autumn mountain scenery, temporarily put down his worries, Hao Chen picked a few red maple leaves, stepped on the slope paved with fallen leaves and meadows, the mountain breeze was slightly cool but fresh and pleasant, a few fat and fat mountain sparrows, stopped in the treetops to pick and eat unknown fruits, chirping.
For Hao Chen, who grew up in the city, although everything here is unfamiliar but full of attraction, natural gravity, a completely out of tune poem suddenly popped up in his mind: bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid! But he can't remember what the next sentence is, and he has forgotten the author of this poem.
After walking, I returned to the village, just as the sun was setting, the afterglow was not over, and the smoke was curling. He admits that he doesn't like poetry culture very much, let alone read related books, but deep in the mountains, Hao Chen feels a rare sense of purity and comfort in his heart.
The lights in the Shiliu house were turned on early, the wood stove was hot with the leftover meals at noon, the fragrance wafted out of the yard, and the big wolf dog ran to Hao Chen with his tail wagging his tail, sniffing the smell, rubbing his legs, and begging to touch his head.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Shi Liu saw Hao Chen coming back, but hurriedly dragged him back into the house.
"Baby, have you gone to the old mine in Houshan?" Shi Liu's expression of surprise was not at all as calm as during the day.
"Listen to you, if you're curious, go around, what?"
"Oh, you baby is too daring!" Shi Liu heard that he really went to the back mountain, let go of his hand and patted his thigh, checked Hao Chen back and forth with a worried face, and looked out the window again, nothing abnormal before pulling Hao Chen inside, and whispered to Hao Chen in his ear.
"The mine is haunted, there have been deaths, there are many people, but you can't go. ”
