Chapter 9 Base

() When we came to the big group, Liu Qiuhua and Wen Xiaoli were actually there.

The two of them were carefully selecting books. Newspapers were spread next to yesterday's piles of paper, and Lao Gao placed a pile of old books.

Liu Qiuhua smiled when she saw Lu Yang coming in.

"Lu Yang, you're here, come and see if you are satisfied with the things Auntie picked out?"

After Lu Yang left last night, Liu Qiuhua asked Wen Xiaoli why she walked with him. Then she found out that her daughter was harassed by two stinky hooligans. She felt grateful and got up and started working in the morning.

Wen Xiaoli hid aside and looked at her secretly without saying anything. She was actually quite afraid of people like Lu Yang.

Lu Yang guessed what was going on and was not surprised. He walked up to Liu Qiuhua and saw the pile of carefully selected old books that were all in good condition and made a decision in his heart.

"Aunt Liu, Uncle Wen and my dad are both scheduled to move at the end of the year?"

Although many of the same workshops were relocated separately, Lu Yang knew that the casting and forging workshops had always been ranked last in history, so he deliberately asked this question.

"It seems so, I don't know exactly."

Liu Qiuhua didn't understand why this topic was so far-reaching, but when she heard Wen Yongqiang was mentioned, her expression became a little stiff.

"Then when Sister Xiaoli goes to study, who will take care of her?"

Lu Yang remembered that Wen Yongqiang and Liu Qiuhua were both from the Qiansheng area and had no relatives in Chongshan. They were single-employee households, let alone leaders. Even if they wanted to find a few acquaintances who had gone there in advance to take care of them, it would be difficult for them.

"I...I don't know...I haven't found the right one yet."

Liu Qiuhua has also been troubled by this problem recently. She has a rural registered permanent residence and is already shorter. Most of her friends are in large groups. Everyone is worried about this problem and no one can help anyone.

Her man, Wen Yongqiang, drinks all day long and gets impatient after asking several times. He either says he is trying to get a relationship or tells Wen Xiaoli to stop studying. Girls are losers anyway.

Although Liu Qiuhua only has a primary school education, she also knows that studying is very important. She suffers because she is uneducated, not to mention Wen Xiaoli's grades are good.

Therefore, Liu Qiuhua naturally did not agree, but seeing that the official move was about to begin and had not yet been completed, she could only be anxious.

"Aunt Liu, how much does it cost per pound at the county scrap station?"

Liu Qiuhua was confused. Why had the topic changed again? She didn't think much and replied casually: "What kind of paper are you looking at? Newspapers are only a pound, expensive books are only 123 cents, cheap ones are 70-80 cents, and shredded paper

It’s not worth two or three cents.”

"I have a way over there in Chongshan. This kind of book can be sold for a few cents a book."

Lu Yang picked up a book and waved it, his face became serious.

"If Auntie wants to form a partnership, it won't be difficult to earn two to three thousand by then."

"This...waste paper is of little use. Who is willing to spend so much money on it?"

Liu Qiuhua looked shocked. Her salary was only more than 200 yuan. Pork in these days only cost two or three yuan a pound. A thousand kilograms of pork was a lot of money.

The book in Lu Yang's hand only weighs half a catty. How many cents can a book cost? Then these books can't be sold for thousands or tens of thousands?

"Sister Xiaoli."

"Huh? Ah!"

Wen Xiaoli was confused and didn't know why. When she heard Lu Yang shouting, she hurriedly agreed. Seeing Lu Yang's eyes staring at her, her ears started to burn involuntarily.

In Lu Yang's memory, Wen Xiaoli's appearance as a female gangster with heavy makeup was completely incompatible with the innocence and cowardice in front of her.

It seems that after half a year of studying as a boarding school student, I am not the only one who has changed.

Lu Yang sighed in his heart, and his expression became more serious when he spoke.

"My parents also know a few people. My dad saw that so many people in the workshop were in trouble. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but it was inappropriate to help anyone. Don't go out and tell me. I will help you and see which acquaintance can help you.

Sister Li will arrange it."

"Ah, okay, okay, don't tell me, don't tell me!" Liu Qiuhua nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

In her opinion, although her man who only knows how to drink is often in the house complaining about Jiang An, he is just lucky, but he is naturally much stronger as the deputy director, and being willing to help is a good thing that cannot be found with a lantern.

Besides, although they are both single-employee, Lu Yang's family is different. Lu Yang's mother, Zhang Shufen, is educated and works at a drug cultivation research institute. She has an urban registered permanent residence. I heard that this time she will work as a clerk in the main factory, which has more opportunities than her family.

many.

"Aunt Liu, not all books can be sold for money. Let me tell you which ones can be sold first. Sister Xiaoli, take this."

Ignoring the two people's confusion, Lu Yang handed Wen Xiaoli the paper he had written in the morning. Although Liu Qiuhua was not highly educated, she must have read it in elementary school. With Wen Xiaoli's interpretation, it should not be difficult to understand.

Then Lu Yang began to explain the main selection. Old books need to be in good condition. If they are fragments published before the 1960s, they are also acceptable. The publication date should not be more than 1985, and the print run should be no more than 2,000 copies. It is best not to

There are more than 20,000 volumes, with history and geography first, as well as other envelopes, stamps, etc., and so on.

Liu Qiuhua looked at Lu Yang, confused, and then at the piece of paper.

To be honest, she still doesn't understand why Lu Yang, the son of the Lu family who doesn't usually have much contact with her, would say this to her.

Of course she couldn't know that Lu Yang just thought that if he didn't dare to change the fate of two such insignificant women, how could he change the fate of himself and his relatives?

Thinking about it, he had no loss at all. He just kept these old books for a while. Lu Yang said that he would find someone to come back and transport these old books after a while. Besides, he also promised to find an acquaintance to look after Wen Xiaoli.

Liu Qiuhua naturally nodded in agreement, but she sternly rejected the so-called deposit of fifty yuan that Lu Yang wanted to give.

Lu Yang didn't say much. He first picked out more than a hundred books that might be valuable from a pile of old books and put them in books, newspapers and cloth bags. Then he told Liu Qiuhua to look for stamps and food stamps in the past few days. He would go to the general manager.

The factory will come and pick it up beforehand.

Lu Yang returned home, filled the wooden box, wrapped the books in their covers and put them on the box.

After solving this problem, Lu Yang put on a sea soul shirt, trousers of the same color, a liberation hat, and liberation shoes. He carried his liberation bag and went out, turning up the hill behind his house.

The family area of ​​​​the Red Shipyard is also hidden in a ravine. You can go around the mountain behind your home to reach the factory area.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Yang stood at the top of a hill. There was no longer a vegetable plot for the employees, and it was surrounded by dense subtropical jungle.

But there is no need to worry about wild beasts. Before the mountains were closed for forestation, except for the thousand-meter-high mountains like Jinxiang Mountain, such small hills had been cleared countless times with shotguns by idle workers, and no wild beasts dared to come.

The family area happened to be visible from here. Lu Yang looked around and entered the jungle from the mountain road.

Lu Yang walked for a few minutes based on his memory and stopped at a cliff.

Because Yaoquan is a karst terrain, the local mountains not only have thin soil layers, but also have many cliffs.

Lu Yang opened the bushes, found a homemade hatchet from the liberation bag, started digging, and soon reached the rock layer.

There is an arrow carved on the stone layer with the numbers 19814 next to it.

Confirming that he had found the right thing, Lu Yang buried the hole again and covered it up.

Lu Yang took out the hemp rope from his bag again, wrapped it around the root of an old tree, tested whether it was stable, and counted ten steps along the arrow.

Then he started going down the cliff from that direction. After going down nine steps, Lu Yang's feet happened to step on a small raised platform.

There were a lot of dead branches and grass piled on the platform, which looked like they had been blown down from the jungle above, but when Lu Yang opened it, a small hole was revealed.

Lu Yang retracted his hand and went inside, collected the hemp rope and put it in his bag, then moved the dead branches and grass back. Now he was the only one in the cave.

Wilderness adventures were popular for a while, and Lu Yang was also very keen on them. He often teamed up with a few classmates who had fun to have fun in the surrounding mountains and forests.

However, Lu Yang discovered this place alone, and he is probably the only one who has been here so far, so it is not like other caves where he often steps on "landmines".

This is his base and one of the greatest joys of his childhood.

The humidity in the cave is very high and it is very hot. Wild animals, snakes and insects usually do not choose caves with this type of environment to live in, so there is no need to worry about safety.

The further you go in, the wider the cave becomes, and it quickly changes from being hunched over to being as tall as a person.

Lu Yang held up his flashlight and stopped next to a cylindrical stone clock. After looking at it, he quickly found his footing and climbed up.

There was a small platform with a wooden box on it. Lu Yang took it down and opened it, then unwrapped the tightly wrapped plastic bag and took out the treasure he had buried.

There were two envelopes inside, one containing sparks and one containing stamps, which were his collections, as well as a 62-type eight-fold telescope, a homemade hand crossbow and five steel crossbow arrows, one steel pellet, and one

A long-handled screwdriver, a broken Philips VCR that he had repaired himself, with tapes and batteries inside.

Lu Yang installed the tape and battery, pressed the button, and the video recorder transmitted the voice he had specially recorded. He laughed as he listened.

At that time, I read too many martial arts novels and thought that I was going to Chongshan and might never have the chance to come back to this base. I wanted to leave some treasures for those who were destined to find this cave in the future, so I carefully selected these exquisite treasures from my treasures.

Treasure it here.

Lu Yang picked everything into the liberation bag and put the empty wooden box back.

No matter how lucky you are, cherishing the people around you is the most important thing.

Lu Yang continued walking inside and soon saw the light above his head. There was a small hole there, big enough for someone to climb out.

This is the bottom of the cave. There is a spring in one corner, a stool and a tin stove beside it, and some dead branches piled not far away.

It was left over from Lu Yang's past. He would steal the neighbor's sausages or dig up the sweet potatoes from the farmer's uncle, and he would come here to roast and eat them, euphemistically calling it a life like Tarzan's.

Lu Yang set up the stool and stood on it. His hands could just reach the top of the cave, so he jumped out of the cave with all his strength.

This was already a factory area, and he wanted to take a walk in the casting and forging workshop to see if he could find any clues about his father's accident.

The entrance to the cave is located on the rock cliff behind the factory guest house. Although it is not high, it is extremely steep. It is easy to go down but difficult to go up.

Lu Yang turned around and was about to go down, but was a little dumbfounded.
