Chapter 457: Being followed again.
Le Xiaoxiao was searching along the ditch with great expectation. Less than twenty meters away, there was a pool, about ten square meters. There was a big tree above the pool because of its perennial roots. The water washed away the soil, causing the roots to have no place to cling to and it fell over in the pond. The tree's girth was more than two meters.
The forest is dense, and the pool looks green and quiet. The bottom of the pool is covered with fallen leaves, ordinary stones, and a few pieces of jade. The pool is made of sand and gravel, and the water seeps in, so when the water gathers in the pool, it overflows. There is only a very thin line.
Le Yun: "..." She is most afraid of this kind of pool!
Whether or not to go into the pool is a big question.
After staring for a long time, he didn't dare to take action. During the hesitation, a mouse came out of the water, squeaked and disappeared into the weeds beside the pool.
The presence of water rats indicates that there are no snakes in the pond.
After watching for a long time, she finally couldn't bear to give up a few pieces of jade in the pool. She tried hard to cut down the weeds and vines nearby with her knife. She also cut down branches to make hooks and woven vines into nets to clean up the mess in the pool. leaf.
The twigs and leaves had almost been cleared away, and the pond water was also muddy. Le Xiaoxiao would never dare to go into the water. He silently took out a hand saw from the space and climbed up the tree to cut the branches of the big tree.
That big tree is a red shirt. Its roots are soaked in water. The survival ability of the root system is almost zero. Currently, there are only three or two branches and a few half-dead leaves. Overall, it is on the verge of death. Even if it is moved, Planting it away from the water will not save its life.
The red bean tree is a treasure. It is both a medicinal plant and an economic tree. It has a long growth cycle and takes 100-250 years to mature. It will take at least three hundred years to grow to the girth of a tree in the water pool.
It was a pity that such a big tree was allowed to rot. Le Yun decided to move back into the space and use the parts that could make medicine to make medicine. The parts that were not suitable for medicine would be taken out to make furniture when the opportunity came.
At this time, she herself was applauded for her foresight. When she returned to her hometown for the holidays, she went shopping at the place where she stopped. Ladders, saws, axes, chisels, planes and other common tools used by craftsmen, quilts, mats, knives, etc. Supplies, baskets for agricultural and sideline products, large barrels for rice and oil, etc., she bought some things that she thought could be used, so that she was prepared, and lo and behold, now the saw came in handy.
In fact, she also bought a chain saw. Because she was in a protected area, she was afraid that the sound of the chain saw would be too loud and would attract investigation, so she could not use it. If she could use a chain saw, she could straighten out the big tree without any effort. neat.
The tree is very big and the branches are thick. If you use a hatchet to cut it, it will take an hour to clear all the branches. Although the hand saw is not as good as the chain saw, it is still faster than the hatchet.
Le Yun exercised her patience and cut off the branches one by one. The branches were also put into the space. It took half an hour to clear the branches and cut off two more sections of the tree trunk.
After two sections of the main pole were cut off, the remaining tree body was still more than ten meters long. There were many stones coiled around the roots of the tree in the water. She was afraid of falling into the pool, so she did not dare to climb to clean it. She took out a bucket to scoop out the water in the pool. of water, scoop out half of the water, clean the stones, gravel, dead leaves and other miscellaneous trees on the roots of the trees, and then scoop out the water again.
Scoop out the pond water, take out a few pieces of jade, the largest of which is less than five kilograms, and the small ones which are only about a finger wide, and store them. Then clean the roots of the trees, wash away the mud and sand, and return them to space.
She can easily throw small items back into space with her thoughts. Objects over a certain weight cannot be moved using only mental power. She needs to touch the object with her hands, and the object must be movable in order to move it. If it was a huge thing that couldn't be moved and was half-buried in the soil, she wouldn't be able to move it into the space.
Leyun returned to the space with the tree in her arms. The tree was dropped on the ground paved with spiritual stones around the flowerbed next to the dragon blood tree. Only half of the flowerbed was still visible. The red bean sprouts branches and the flowers she collected Firewood was also piled in a corner.
When the little human girl fell down from the big tree with her arms in her arms, the little fox and the little black monkey who were gardeners in the medicinal field stared blankly and squatted on the medicinal tree trunks with dumbfounded faces.
The little fox couldn't understand more and more what was in the little human girl's mind. She was carrying everything into Futian Cave like picking up rags. He really doubted that one day her territory would become a grocery store.
Of course, he just muttered a few times in his heart. As a smart and witty fox fairy, he would not mutter randomly knowingly, otherwise the little girl would turn black and shout that she would throw him back to the underground palace.
After moving back to the big tree, Leyun ran to eat two August fried rice, touched an apple and ate it. Without saying a word, she immediately left the space, picked up the hatchet and continued looking for jade.
Further down from the pool, there is another cliff less than seven or eight meters away. The place where Dragon Soul Grass grows is actually between the upper and lower cliffs.
With the special function of his eyes, he searched all the places with spiritual energy near the water flow and found a few small pieces of jade. Student Le Xiao said he was very depressed. The size of the jade was very small and it always felt a bit unscientific.
After picking up the jade, she devoted herself to looking for medicinal materials. As long as they were in large quantities, she dug all the medicinal materials that she could use. She also dug some fertile soil where she could and hid it in the space. When she encountered dead branches and dead branches that had not yet rotted, she The trees were also picked up and stored in the space. A person was busy from almost noon until the sun set in the evening before he reluctantly made his way back to the place where the Dragon Soul Grass grows.
When the little girl returned to the field, it was already sunset and the sky was dark.
The giant python was hovering in place, and it only glanced at the human who said he was looking for medicinal materials but actually came back empty-handed, and still maintained his curled up posture.
"Hey, Brother Long, are you hungry? Do you want some fruit?" Le Yun climbed up the stone slab of the steps, slipped not far from the giant snake, took out a red apple and handed it over.
The giant python remained cold, his eyes saying one thing: Are you bullying me into not being able to speak? I eat meat and am not vegetarian.
"You're not a vegetarian, okay? I'll eat it myself." The python didn't appreciate it. Le Yun ate the apple by herself. After chewing the apple, she took out a cold rice dumpling and handed it over: "Brother Long, this kind of Do you want to eat?"
The giant python hid its head in its coiled body, its movement full of contempt for the intelligence of human girls.
After being rejected twice in a row, Le Yun refused to share her food with the python. Instead, she ate some fruit and stretched her body: "Brother Long, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow." The python still had a cold expression, lying in the cross-legged position
. Circle, motionless.
The python didn't interact with him, so Le Xiao's classmate didn't feel discouraged. He jumped down the steps, found a flatter place under a big tree nearby, cleaned it out, moved out of the tent to camp, and climbed into the tent to sleep.
The black and white python did not return to the cave at night, but lay on the stone slab. After dark, it looked at the place where humans slept. Its big green eyes were full of confusion. When it dawned, the human girl happily got up to breathe air. , the confusion in its eyes became even stronger.
It was a new day and a new mood. Le Yun was in a good mood. She had a fruit breakfast, said hello to the python, and went to look for medicinal materials excitedly.
The giant python looked at the human girl who jumped into the forest, his eyes became more and more confused, and he did not follow him out to play out of curiosity, but still guarded the Dragon Soul Grass motionlessly.
When Le Xiao's classmate was happily running around in the mountains, the results of her gambling on stones in the border town finally arrived in the capital.
Classmate Le’s jadeite rough was shipped to Beijing in late February. It was supposed to take up to ten days to arrive in Beijing. However, the large truck entering Beijing from Rui broke down in a small county town halfway, and the matching parts could not be found. It took seven days to wait for parts to be temporarily shipped to Datianchao from abroad, and the car could be repaired before starting again.
Due to the breakdown of the truck, even the trucks shipping from Yingxian County overtook it. Since the two trucks belonged to the same logistics company and were delivering goods to the same cargo owner, for the safety of the goods on the truck, the latter truck Or simply stay on the spot so that the escorting security personnel can form a team to protect the safety of the vehicle and cargo.
Also due to the unexpected breakdown of the truck, time was wasted. In addition, to ensure safety, the truck driver did not drive tiredly, stayed and rested when tired, and did not drive at night on the road sections that are not suitable for night travel. This went back and forth, and so on, until the end of March. No. 1 arrived in Kyoto.
The convoy consisting of two trucks and two escort cars arrived in Beijing on the evening of the 15th. Afraid of traffic jams, they rested in the outer city area until three or four in the morning before getting up and driving into the capital at midnight. The car went straight to the villa where Mr. Chao lived. Wait outside the area to hand over goods during the day.
When Mr. Chao received a call from the youngest girl in the Chao family, he secretly waited to receive it. In order to properly arrange the jade stones, the young and old of the Chao family also studied the plan and unanimously decided to move the room where the brooms, mops and lawn mowers were placed. The utility room was freed up for Xiaofenduanzi to use as her private collection room.
Chao Er's family has maids. Uncle Hu and Fang Ma took the maids to move brooms and other tools to a corner of the garage, tidied the utility room, and then ordered a wooden shelf to carry heavy objects for easy transportation. The wooden square bars are palm-wide and more than ten centimeters thick, and can withstand the weight of seven to eight tons.
The wooden frame was transported back to the villa, and I bought carpet cloth to cover the wooden frame. I also bought a small grinder and a small cutting machine. Because the villa has been finalized, it is not suitable to modify it randomly. It is inconvenient to connect water pipes and install drainage pipes, so I have to install it in the miscellaneous place. Build a small pond in the room where the machine is placed. If water is used to dislodge the stone, it can accumulate in the small pond and then be pumped away with a water pump.
Mr. Chao was not short of money, and Uncle Hu did not help save money. In order for the four girls to play with stones happily, he also bought a Taichung-sized cutting machine and a hand-pushed forklift. The forklift can shovel tons of heavy objects. Cars and medium-sized cutting machines are also placed in the garage. As the Chao family said, the car can be left outside in the sun and rain. You must have all the tools you need for the dumplings, even if it takes up the entire garage.
The family arrangements were well made, and the young and old men of the Chao family were waiting for Xiaofenduanzi’s jade wool to arrive in Beijing. But they waited and waited, and it still didn’t arrive. Mr. Chao was not in a hurry. Anyway, the logistics merchandisers had contacted him. Explain the reason for being delayed on the road, and those who knew that the little girl of the Chao family had bet on a giant jadeite wool were a little anxious because they had not heard the news for a long time, and they often asked Mr. Chao about the movement of the stone.
Mr. Chao Er received a phone call from the logistics merchandisers who came to Beijing with the truck when they were about to arrive in Beijing. He also paid special attention to it and arranged the work first. He did not go to the company on the 16th and waited at home. Mr. Chao and the old lady I also ran to Chao Er's house early in the morning, waiting to see the super Big Mac that Xiaofan Tuanzi had returned from my bet.
Because a crane was needed to unload the goods, Uncle Hu had already contacted the crane owner and notified them the night before. In the morning, the crane owner drove the crane to the door of Mr. Chao's house and was waiting to start work.
When those who should go to work have gone to work, those who should go to school have gone to school, and those who should go out have gone out. There are fewer cars and fewer people in the villa area. Uncle Hu personally went to pick up the truck outside the villa area and led the convoy in. Villa area.
The four cars followed Uncle Hu's car and filed into the villa area, and arrived at Mr. Chao's house smoothly. When they arrived at the end of the field, the logistics company and the escorting security guards truly breathed a sigh of relief. This car trip was more stressful than any previous trip. It needs to be big, not only because the goods are valuable, but the price is said to be more than 300 million, but more importantly, the identity of the person receiving the goods is not simple. If something goes wrong, the logistics company will close down.
Seeing the special container truck, the old man and the old lady were so happy that their crow's feet turned into waves. Their little dumplings were so wealthy that they used special trucks for transportation. People who do big things are different. They are bold and heroic and don't care about petty profits.
The logistics company also spent a lot of money to take over the goods and hired eight professional security guards to escort the goods. They were security guards from regular security companies with guns, so as to ensure that the goods were undamaged.
The security guards arrived at the end of the field, got out of the car neatly, and stood by the truck, waiting for the recipient and the logistics company's merchandisers to check the seal.
Mr. Chao Er was holding his laptop, and Uncle Hu was holding his mobile phone for inspection. Mrs. Chao, Mrs. Chao Er, the crane driver and the helpers all stood aside.
Chao Erye is humble and polite, and he can't hide the aura of a superior person. The logistics merchandisers and drivers are very careful, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
After checking the seal, there was no trace of it being opened. Uncle Hu broke the seal, and the merchandisers unlocked the door, opened the carriage door, inspected the goods, and finally cooperated to unload the goods.
There were enough manpower and the goods were unloaded very quickly. The lighter baskets and boxes were moved down first, and finally the largest and huge rough stone was lifted.
When the Big Mac came out of the container, Mrs. Chao put up the awning with her hands: "Oh, Xiaotuanzi brought such a big stone back, and I don't know what kind of treasure it is. I was worried that someone would steal it in the middle of the night." "Mom
, Do you think someone would dare to use a crane to transport such a big piece of stone?" Chao Erye said happily, even a smaller crane would not dare to lift such a heavy stone, who would dare to steal it? Besides, the villa's security system and its own security system are not blind, so how could they not detect it.
"I know it belongs to our little pink dumpling. Not to mention stealing it, even if it is left here for people to move, it is estimated that not many people would dare to do it." Mrs. Chao Er smiled lightly and helped her mother-in-law move aside, far away from the crane.
Uncle Hu, Fang Ma and others nodded frequently, right? The fourth girl was of extraordinary worth, who would dare to offend the little miracle doctor who could rejuvenate her body.
Mr. Chao, wearing reading glasses, slipped to the corner of the basket and box and waited to see what was inside.
The crane lifted the huge stone, moved it to the front of the villa according to Uncle Hu's instructions, and placed the stone on the wooden frame board placed on the lawn in front of the villa.
The crane was only responsible for unloading the goods from the truck, and he didn't need to worry about anything else. He would just transport the boulders out and watch the fun.
The logistics follower and Chao Erye inspected the goods. They first checked the seals and packaging boxes, then opened the seals, and compared the number, label, and weight of the stones in each basket and box, and inspected them very carefully.
After checking the opened box of ingredients, Mrs. Chao and Mr. Chao watched and admired it, marveling at it.
Acceptance inspection is a meticulous job. It took nearly forty minutes to check the goods with Mr. Chao and the order. The acceptance was correct. Mr. Chao signed the order and fingerprinted it.
Uncle Hu gave red envelopes to the drivers, merchandisers, and security personnel. It was not easy for a group of people to travel across mountains and rivers to deliver goods to Beijing, so they had to give a red envelope as a tip, just like inviting someone to have a cup of tea.
After the handover was completed, the driver, the security guard, and the driver felt relaxed physically and mentally. They accepted the tip, declined the host's invitation to come home for tea, and drove away from the villa. After completing their work, they needed to find a place to sleep for two days to relieve stress.
The crane driver took his wages and said goodbye, sending a group of people away. Chao Erye took his family to carry the wool. The two boxes of unopened materials were moved to the second floor, and the unopened jade wool was moved to the utility room.
After placing the jadeite wool, Mr. Chao, his wife, his son, daughter-in-law, and Uncle Hu happily looked at the stone again. When they were satisfied, they planned a tea party. People in the circle heard about it and sooner or later came to see the stone. Instead of Instead of letting others come forward in waves, why not be more generous yourself and hold a stone appreciation tea party, and invite everyone to watch in the next post.
The beautiful boy received a call from home when he was out of school at noon, saying that Xiao Lele's jadeite stone had been delivered. He looked at the sky silently. In the past two weeks, he had helped receive several express deliveries, some were heavy, some were light, some were large, some were small, and they were all... Shitou, because he asked his friends for help when picking up couriers, his friends would ask him if he had any couriers to pick up every day when they met. He said he wanted to scratch the wall.
When the beautiful young man had a headache, Le Xiao's classmate was excitedly looking for medicinal materials and waiting for the Flower Festival to come. As she expected, the 17th arrived as scheduled.
The flowers of Dragon Soul Grass bloom toward the sky and fall at dusk, so the fruits will not officially ripen until the evening.
Le Yun couldn't bear to waste time during the day sitting and waiting for the fruit to ripen. She ate fruit breakfast in the morning, said hello to the python, and ran to collect medicinal materials with great joy.
The subtropical jungle is a paradise for animals and plants. All kinds of plants grow freely and all kinds of animals roam freely in the jungle.
Birds and animals were flying around in the jungle, all having their own fun. At some point, a two-legged beast called "human" appeared and wandered around among the plants. A group of gray langurs and squirrels on the trees did not appear. Frightened, some were looking for food and some were playing. However, just as they were enjoying life happily, a black shadow flew up to a tree and covered itself with the dense leaves.
Le Yun had just dug out an eighty-year-old sheath flower, and she felt a creepy feeling on her back. The familiar feeling of being watched came back!
It was the intense feeling of being stared at that she had noticed in Ying County. It was like filming a ghost movie. The feeling of being stared at made people feel chills on their backs.
A cold wind rushed up her back, her nerves were tense for a moment, and she was highly concentrated. She turned around pretending to be careless, raised her head and looked around to find where there were hidden eyes. What on earth was following her?
