"Youngest, let's change. Let my brother sit in the Hummer for a while..."
Not to mention the BMW following behind, Viagra, who had just volunteered to get into the BMW, rolled down the window and was crying and shouting to change it back.
"Viagra, you don't exercise at ordinary times, just treat your bones as loose after the bumps..."
Zhuang Rui laughed while driving the car, and pressed the accelerator with his foot. The Hummer speed increased, and immediately left the BMW behind.
"Boy, drive slower..."
Uncle De almost hit his head on the car glass due to Zhuang Rui's acceleration, and glared at Zhuang Rui fiercely.
Zhuang Rui quickly slowed down the car and said with a smile: "Hey, Uncle De, we will be here soon in these dozens of kilometers. By the way, you haven't told me yet, where did the money from selling chicken blood stones in Changhua go? Why not?
Where are the roads being repaired?”
"Who will repair it? Soapstone has been mined since the Tang Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, large-scale mining had already taken place, but this road, tsk tsk, is not much better than that..."
Uncle De shook his head. Nowadays, if there is anything to make money, they will definitely rush in, but if you have to spend money, everyone can run faster than a rabbit.
It is said that the bosses who contracted the chicken blood stone mine will make a lot of money, but now no one is willing to spend money to build roads, but there is a reason for this.
In the 1980s and 1990s, several mine owners jointly built this road, but the distance of 50 kilometers was not short, and they did not have that much money to build an asphalt road. They just paved some gravel and found it.
I bought a road roller and renovated it.
It's just that most of the people on this road are heavy trucks pulling stones. The gravel road can't hold up at all. In addition, when it rains, in less than two months, the entire road is worse than if it had not been repaired.
, the millions thrown in by the mine owners were wasted, and since then, no one has mentioned the matter of road construction.
After the car slowed down, the people in the car felt much better. Fortunately, this Hummer was so bumpy. You can imagine what Viagra must have suffered in the BMW now.
Song Xingjun, who was sitting in the back row with Qin Xuanbing, saw that the number of vehicles coming and going on this broken road was no less than the highway. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Zhuang Rui, what on earth is this blood stone? Why are so many cars heading into the mountains?
run?"
"Hey, it's a long story. In ancient times, when a pair of beautiful phoenixes were soaring in the heaven, they heard the sound of lamentation from time to time. When they looked down, they saw that locusts were infested, plagues were prevalent, and crops were not growing.
It is desolate and the people are miserable.
Seeing this scene, the kind and righteous Phoenix decided to use his own power to eliminate the locusts, drive away the plague, and help the living beings. The grateful people asked the Phoenix to stay and bathe in the morning songs and evening songs together.
Phoenix was moved by the sincerity of the people, and built Phoenix Marsh to live on the top of a mountain - Kangshan Ridge. Soon, all the rocks around Phoenix Marsh became white and transparent, like white jade, and Yuyan Mountain got its name...
…”
"Zhuang Rui, what's the matter with this chicken blood stone?"
Qin Xuanbing interrupted Zhuang Rui when she heard this. She listened for a long time but didn't hear anything about chicken blood stone.
"Don't interrupt, that's it. Later, a pair of powerful bird lions came to Yuyan Mountain, also known as phoenixes. When they saw the phoenix nest living on such a beautiful mountain, they became jealous and decided to
Drive the phoenix away and occupy the phoenix swamp.
One day, just as the female phoenix entered the incubation period and the male phoenix went out to look for food, he sneaked into the phoenix nest and attacked the female phoenix. The female phoenix fought bravely. The battle between the phoenix and the lion made the wind roar on Yuyan Mountain and the sun and moon dimmed.
When the male phoenix returned to the nest, the female phoenix had one of its legs pecked off by a lion, and her blood spilled on the Yuyan Mountain. In the end, with grief and anger, the phoenix defeated the bird and lion with its own wisdom and strength, and buried the innocently trampled phoenix eggs with tears.
Then flew away.
Legend has it that the blood of the phoenix was spilled on the Jade Rock Mountain, thus forming the chicken blood stone. What do you think, do you understand?"
After Zhuang Rui finished telling the story, he found that there was no sound from behind. When he looked in the rearview mirror, he saw that the two girls were both in tears. He couldn't help but said, "Hey, what happened to you two?"
"Zhuang Rui, that female phoenix is so pitiful..."
Qin Xuanbing's crying voice left Zhuang Rui quite speechless. His wife-to-be was usually very smart, so how could she be so stupid like this?
"You two, don't listen to Xiaozhuang's nonsense. What are you talking about? Chicken bloodstone is formed by infiltrating cinnabar (mercuric sulfide) into kaolinite and Dikai stone. Its composition is mercury sulfide, and the quality of the stone is Dikai stone.
Stone or kaolinite, the two blend together to create a symbiotic natural gem..."
Uncle De used more scientific language to explain to Song Xingjun and Qin Xuanbing what chicken blood stone is. However, it was obvious that these two women were more inclined to believe in Zhuang Rui's fairy tales. Women are always more emotional.
The car traveled for more than two hours on the fifty-kilometer road. It was around five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the foot of Yuyan Mountain. Here, there is also a small town, or a village is more appropriate, and there are many places to go.
There are a lot of people, and it looks even more lively than Changhua Town.
This village must be relatively wealthy, because the houses Zhuang Rui saw were basically small buildings with two or three floors. The outsides were covered with mosaics, which shone dazzlingly under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The village is originally at the foot of the mountain, but some houses are actually built halfway up the mountain. They are scattered across a huge area. If placed in Hong Kong, they would be considered the top luxury villas.
Uncle De pointed to a large shed like a vegetable market outside the village and said: "That's where the chicken blood stone is traded..."
"Uncle De, let's go take a look?"
Zhuang Rui followed the sound and found that there were still lights there. He couldn't help but want to see it. The two hours of bumps on the road were nothing to him. You must know that such a road is the best in Myanmar.
It will take at least a day to run.
Uncle De shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? It's not like we're leaving tomorrow. There's no rush. We'll find a place to stay first and have something to eat before we talk..."
"How do you live here?"
Zhuang Rui had already driven a Hummer and entered this small village with a modern decoration style. The car drove to the end in less than a minute. Zhuang Rui did not see any hotels or other buildings.
"Haha, I will take you to stay at a farmhouse today and taste the farm food. Xiaozhuang, drive the car further up. I booked a place to stay yesterday. If it is late, I am afraid we will have to sleep in the car today.
…”
Uncle De was very familiar with this place and directly pointed to a road up the mountain and asked Zhuang Rui to drive up it.
Not to mention, when we arrived at Yuyan Mountain, the roads were many times better than on the way here. Even the mountain roads had been repaired. Even the BMW behind them drove up easily and parked in a three-story building.
in front of the small building.
Several cars were parked in the open space in front of the small building, and the Mercedes-Benz that Zhuang Rui and others saw before was also parked here.
"Damn, my new car..."
Viagra was still howling on the road just now. Now he got out of the car and didn't care about his loose muscles. He crawled out of the car and looked around his BMW. The more he looked at it, the more distressed he became. At the car door
The area below was already pockmarked by the rocks protruding from the road.
"You look like a loser, and someone else's Mercedes-Benz drove over..."
After Zhuang Rui parked the car, he gloated and hit Viagra, "Who told you to follow me?"
"This... this is the best car that my brother has ever driven..." Wei Wei rolled his eyes in displeasure.
Uncle De, who got off the Hummer, ignored the bickering brothers. Instead, he went to meet an old man standing in front of the small building. He was still three to five meters away and shouted: "Brother Lao Wang."
, I’m here to bother you again, this time there are six people in three rooms, is that okay?”
"Teacher Ma, welcome, welcome..."
Lao Wang looked a few years younger than Uncle De, probably because he lived in the mountains, and he was very energetic. After shaking hands with Uncle De, Lao Wang said hesitantly: "Mr. Ma, you didn't order yesterday.
Two rooms? Why is there an extra room?"
"What? There aren't enough rooms?"
Uncle De's face changed. Yesterday, Yang Wei didn't say he was coming, so Uncle De called and booked two rooms. Zhuang Rui and his wife could live in one room, and he and Peng Fei could live in the same room. However, Yang Wei suddenly joined in.
, then three rooms are necessary.
"Teacher Ma, you also know that these days have been the most stressful time for rooms. You said you wanted to keep two rooms, so I booked all the other 10 rooms. Now...now..."
The old man was very simple, and this was obviously Zhuang Rui's fault, but later he felt embarrassed to say that the first floor of the three-story building in his house was for his family, but the second and third floors were used as farmhouses for guests.
There are only 12 rooms in total.
The restaurant is also on the first floor. Since there are many diners, one restaurant occupies two rooms on the first floor.
"Brother Lao Wang, then...can we squeeze out a room in the village down there?"
Uncle De regretted why he didn't call Lao Wangtou when he came out in the morning, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
Seeing Uncle De's anxious look, Lao Wang thought for a moment and said, "Don't go down there. Wait until the old lady and I prepare a meal for you, then go to my son's place and squeeze in..."
"Okay, okay, brother, thank you very much..."
After Uncle De thanked Lao Wang, he took Zhuang Rui and his party up to the second floor. Zhuang Rui and Yang Wei each occupied a room. As for Uncle De and Peng Fei, they were going to live in Lao Wang's bedroom on the first floor.
.
The room is not very big, with only one bed and a wardrobe, but you can see that the bedding on the bed is clean and very hygienic.
There is also a window in the room. After opening the window, you can clearly see the lush Big Rock Mountain. The sun is setting at this time, and everything you see is golden yellow, which is very beautiful.
"Okay, Xiaozhuang, the conditions are a bit simple and there is no way to take a shower, but we can only stay here for two days at most, pack up our things, and let's try this farm food..."
Uncle De's voice rang at the door. Zhuang Rui agreed and threw the bag containing a change of clothes on the bed. As for items such as wallets, he naturally kept them with him.
"Old Wangtou, it's not like I won't give you money. What's wrong with asking for an extra room? Aren't they just here? Ask them to give up one room..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui and others walked out of the room, they heard an arrogant voice coming from downstairs.
