The stone was a little cold, and Fang Yuan felt uncomfortable while sitting, so he couldn't help but rub it. However, just by rubbing, the chill became more and more obvious, making him realize something was wrong.

For a moment, Fang Yuan couldn't sit still and quickly stood up and looked at the stone.

After some observation, he found that the stone was very round, similar to pebbles, with many flowing lines on the surface. The most important thing is that the round stone is not as dark-brown as ordinary pebbles, but has a bit white.

While Fang Yuan was looking and researching, the old man was very confused: "Boss Fang, why don't you sit down?"

"Uncle... This stone is quite beautiful." Fang Yuan asked with a smile: "Is it an ornamental stone?"

"What ornamental stone?" The old man naturally couldn't understand.

Bao Longtu also looked at it, nodded and agreed, "Hey, don't say it, these stones are indeed a bit like ornamental stones. Especially these textures, like clouds in the sky, floating and slim, unpredictable..."

"Uncle, do you know the rockery behind the house of a rich man on TV?" Fang Yuan explained in the simplest way: "The stones on the rockery, even the ornamental stones, are relatively valuable."

"What, you said these stones can be sold for money?" The old man was surprised and happy.

"It's definitely possible." Bao Longtu estimated: "Such round and white stone has a good texture. It's a special market to buy it. It's worth hundreds or thousands of dollars."

"Really." The old man was overjoyed: "Can these stones be worth thousands of dollars?"

"No..." Fang Yuan shook his head gently, and smiled when the old man was disappointed, "It's not these stones, but just a single stone, which is worth this price."

"Ah..." The old man was shocked. Unbelievable.

"Of course, you shouldn't be too happy too early," Fang Yuan added: "You must also consider the freight cost. After all, we are talking about the specialized ornamental stone market in big cities, so it is possible to sell this price."

"Yes." Bao Longtu agreed: "If you pull these stones out, don't mention the hard work along the way. Even if you go to a special big market, you can't set up a stall directly. You still need to pay taxes, and the cost is not low. If you sell them directly to the shop that runs ornamental stones, the owner will definitely lower the price. The profit is not high..."

After analyzing, the two concluded that for these stones, they would go to the big market specifically. It was not worth it.

"This business can only be done unless there are more stones like this and have a relatively stable source of goods." While speaking, Fang Yuan asked directly: "Master, where did these stones come from?"

The old man did not doubt that he was there and directly replied: "It was moved from the river."

"In the river?" Bao Longtu was stunned and somewhat suspicious: "Which river in front of the village?"

"Yes." The old man confirmed: "It's that river."

"No, right?" Bao Longtu frowned and said, "There are a lot of fine sand in the river, but stones as big as this are gone... Oh, did you emptied it?"

"Absolutely." The old man smiled and said, "This was several years ago. The village had flooded the river and flooded the river. When the water receded, there were stones blocking the river and everyone had to clean it up. At that time, I thought these stones were good, so I moved them home directly."

Fang Yuan heard the voice and asked again: "Master, what do you mean is that these stones were washed by the flood, and they do not exist in the river itself?"

"Yes." The old man said for granted: "There is only sand in the river, so where can there be any stone?"

"That's right. There should be only sand in the river, and there will be no other things..." Fang Yuan thought about it, then changed the subject and started chatting with the old man.

This chat lasted for more than an hour, and it was not until the old man’s son and grandson came back in the rain that the topic changed.

However, these two men seemed to have something to worry about. They walked into the door as if they were happy and sad, and wandered outside. When they reached the hall door, they found Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu.

The old man's son was stunned and hurriedly greeted him: "Two bosses, you are here too."

"It suddenly rained, so I came over to hide." Fang Yuan explained, looking out at the sky outside, and saw that the rain filled the sky with no sign of stopping.

Bao Longtu blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "By the way, uncle, that matter... how are you discussing? Master Eighth Master agreed?"

"...Oh, I didn't say anything." The old man's son shook his head and said, "The village chief has only brought a few people up the mountain and plans to communicate carefully with the eighth master, but I don't know what the result will be."

"That's it." Bao Longtu comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, Master Eighth is reasonable and will definitely know how to do it."

"Hope, hope is like this." The old man's son nodded expectantly, and then smiled: "I won't talk about this anymore. It's already noon. The rain is not that easy to stop. How about the two bosses staying for dinner?"

"I'm afraid of disturbing you..."

"It's okay, there are so many people!"

Within a few words, Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu had a meal at the old man's house. After lunch, they sat for half an hour before the rain stopped slowly.

At this time, the old man reminded Fang Yuan: "If you want to build a bridge, you have to hurry up. Otherwise, if there are a few more rains, the heavy water will come. Once the water rises, it will take at least half a month to retreat. So you can't repair the bridge these days, so you have to drag it to the future."

"Since that's the case, I'll recruit everyone to continue working..." Fang Yuan said hurriedly. Compared with the weather forecast, he naturally believed in the old man's words more.

After all, people live in the village all their lives by farming, and to some extent, they rely on the weather to make a living. They must have rich experience in grasping the climate and will not have much error.

The plan was to repair the bridge in the past few days, so Fang Yuan naturally didn't want to delay it for another half a month. He immediately went out and recruited the young and strong men in the village again, and started construction directly while the rain stopped.

The bridge was repaired early, which was beneficial to everyone, so the young and strong naturally had no complaints and gathered together to continue to be busy.

During this period, Bao Longtu patted Fang Yuan's shoulder and signaled: "Look, the river seems to have risen a little."

"See it." Fang Yuan nodded. He had noticed this situation when he walked to the river.

After a heavy rain, the river not only rose a little, but also became more turbulent. The water was rustling, like a song, rushing triumphantly.

This is also a sign. Perhaps in a few days, heavy rain will continue to hit again. If it continues for a few days, it will naturally form a flood that floods the river. At that time, the low-lying areas outside the village will become a country of ​​swalking.

However, the houses in the village are built on high terrain, and terraces are even built on the hills, so there is no need to worry about being submerged. After all, the village has existed here for hundreds or thousands of years. The ancients have long figured out a set of survival rules, and have passed them down from generation to generation and have been used to this day.

Bao Longtu looked at the river water and was also very curious: "You said the river water is full, will it really open a hole in some place?"

"This is really hard to say." Fang Yuan spread his hands and said, "After all, the Shenglongkou is divided into two types: water hole and underground cave. Who knows which type of Shenglongkou belongs to? Besides, whether the so-called Shenglongkou is true or false is also an unknown."

"Unknown number?" Bao Longtu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I think it should be true, otherwise Shiziyu would not have spent millions of dollars to buy. If he is not sure, why waste this time and money?"

"... Maybe." Fang Yuan thought for a while and shrugged, "Forget it, don't worry about this matter for now, just build the bridge."

The bridge skeleton has been formed, and the following process is difficult or not. If the cement is heavy, the bridge body may be too hard and easy to fold; if it is light, it will easily collapse. In short, it is very important to measure it, so you must not be careless.

After two or three days of busyness, the cement on the bridge was finally filled between the steel skeletons and fixed and supported by wooden boards. Next, wait until it slowly solidifies and turns into a hard bridge.

At this point, the main task has been completed. The rest are trivial matters, such as opening the traffic test, adding fences, etc.

However, these things need to be gradually improved until the cement on the bridge is solidified. By that time, it is expected that leading cadres from all sides will gather to attend the final inauguration ceremony.

Of course, that was the future. Now that the cement bridge is made, and another layer of straw is laid, many people have smiled happily on their faces, and they have rushed to Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu, and are very grateful.

"Don't be polite, this is what we should do, what we should do..."

After working hard for more than half a month, the matter was finally settled. Fang Yuan was in a good mood and smiled happily. Amid the gratitude of a group of villagers, he also said goodbye and left.

Of course, it was not to go back to Quanzhou, but to go to the county town to report on the progress of the project and arrange the final publicity matters.

At this time, Bao Longtu was driving the car, seemed to have become accustomed to the bumps on the road, and was very calm and said, "Did you see Master Wu Ba when you say goodbye?"

"I haven't seen it." Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "It seems that Eighth Master is still hesitating."

"I guess it won't last long." Bao Longtu thought: "After all, the hopes of the people in the village are placed on him, which is a very huge pressure. Unless he does not recognize his relatives and does not care about family affection, he will definitely have to surrender."

"Yeah." Fang Yuan nodded in agreement. He was in a position of change, and probably he could not withstand such pressure.

During the chat, they also returned to the county town. Then, without going anywhere, they drove directly into the county government's office courtyard. The guard also knew them and let them go without hesitation.

The car was slowly parked downstairs. When the two got off the car, Bao Longtu glanced at him and exclaimed, "Look at Maruko, that car seems to look familiar."

Fang Yuan looked at it and saw a luxury Bundt parked nearby. The atmospheric appearance and shiny metal shell all indicate the high-end luxury of this car.

"Stone jade is also here?" Fang Yuan was also a little surprised. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
