"Damn, what are you doing? It took me so long to answer the phone."
The phone kept ringing for a long time before Chen Ran, who was completely immersed in practicing the Eight Knife Wave Dividing Sculpting Technique, woke up. The call was from Guo Hai. When he answered the phone, he heard the guy's dissatisfied complaints.
"You're so busy, why are you willing to call me?"
Chen Ran tidied up and called Guo Hai back angrily. This guy just got engaged to the girl he had a blind date with some time ago, but he didn't bother him for a few days.
Guo Hai chuckled: "I'm busy, where are you? I'm going to go hiking tomorrow, are you going?"
"Mountain climbing? Why do you think of going mountain climbing?"
Chen Ran asked a little strangely. Ever since he gained weight, this guy has been most afraid of climbing mountains. In the past, when people asked him to go hiking, he never said anything.
"Hey, bro, there's nothing we can do about it. My wife wants to climb a mountain, and she has two classmates. We are tired of visiting several scenic spots in the city. We have put together a plan and plan to go to your hometown.
Those who climb mountains with white grass..."
Chen Ran asked more, and Guo Hai started to express his bitterness, but even a fool could tell from his tone that he didn't know how to enjoy it.
"No wonder you called me. You want me to lead you."
Chen Ran laughed and cursed, Baimaodu is Baiyun Mountain, Baimaodu is the name of the place, different places have different names. Chen Ran's hometown usually calls Baimoduo, which is actually the homophone of Baimaodu. The rural people in the valley used to call it Baimoduo.
Even though he was illiterate, he yelled and shouted and was passed down, even leading to many legends.
For example, Chen Ran's hometown calls Baiyun Mountain Baimoduo because there is a legend of a white devil snake circulating in Chen Ran's hometown. It is said that there was a white devil snake practicing in the mountains in ancient times. It is said that the older generations in the village have seen it with their own eyes.
It's an extremely facsimile, and I don't know if it's true or not, but Chen Ran's generation grew up with this legend when they were young. Adults often scare them with this white devil snake, saying that this white devil snake only eats children. If they
If you run up the mountain, you will be eaten by the White Devil Snake. In addition, at that time, wild boars, wolves and other animals were common in the mountains. Some older children sneaked into the mountains and never came back. It was said that
, so that even if Chen Ran and the others wanted to go to the mountains to play, they only dared to go to the foot of the mountains.
Strictly speaking, Chen Ran's hometown is not actually at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. In Tianzhong City, Baiyun Mountain is a famous scenic spot, but Chen Ran's hometown is not within the scenic spot.
In other words, Baiyun Mountain is a huge mountain range, and only one direction of Baiyun Mountain has been developed, while Chen Ran’s hometown belongs to the side ridge direction of Baiyun Mountain. If this direction is viewed from the front of Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area,
It belongs to the deep mountains and old forests. These deep mountains are still in the state of unexplored primitive forests. Strictly speaking, they are actually no longer within the scope of Baiyun Mountain. However, because they are connected to Baiyun Mountain, they are also included in it.
It’s Baiyun Mountain.
Chen Ran's hometown is over two hills and there is a continuous virgin forest. Nowadays, some precious medicinal materials and dangerous beasts in ordinary mountains have almost disappeared. Only the virgin forest still has these things. Of course, Guo Hai wants to
The mountains we climbed were only on the outskirts of the primeval forest. We didn’t dare to go deep, and we couldn’t go there because there were no roads.
Guo Hai went to Chen Ran's hometown with Chen Ran before, so when he wanted to climb a mountain, he remembered Chen Ran's hometown. The feeling of climbing a developed mountain is naturally different from that of an undeveloped mountain.
"It's good for you kid to know. That's what I mean. Hey, how can I find the way without you following me? You haven't been back to your hometown for a long time. Isn't it a good idea for you to go back and have a look?"
After Chen Ran guessed his intention, Guo Hai didn't feel embarrassed at all and said it was all for Chen Ran's good.
"Will you go tomorrow and come back tomorrow? How many days will it take? I have something to do these two days, but I don't have that much time."
Guo Hai's words brought back some memories of Chen Ran. Although Chen Ran only lived in his hometown for a few years, it left a lot of deep impressions on him. Speaking of which, he really hadn't returned to his hometown for a while.
After Guo Hai said this, he wanted to go back and have a look. However, he was going to Tengchong in two days, and time seemed a little tight.
"I know you are busy. You will definitely not be able to come back tomorrow. How about we go tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow? Tomorrow night we will camp at the lake where I followed you to bathe last time. I have bought all the camping equipment..."
Guo Hai encouraged him hard on the phone. Without Chen Ran, a familiar person to lead the way, it would be inconvenient for him to take people there.
"Okay... Well, where did you say it is?"
It was still in time to come back the day after tomorrow. This guy said so, so Chen Ran had no choice but to accompany them. He was about to agree, but suddenly he was stunned.
"Where is what?"
Guo Hai on the other side of the phone was confused by Chen Ran's sudden words.
"What did you just say? Say it again."
After Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, he asked more questions. For some reason, after hearing what Guo Hai said, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he suddenly felt that something was missing, but
He thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of anything he missed. He just felt that the things he missed seemed to be of great use to him.
"Holy shit, are you crazy? I said I've already bought all the camping equipment..." Guo Hai was also stunned by Chen Ran, and then he answered Chen Ran's question angrily.
"If that's not the case, is there anything else?" Chen Ran frowned.
Guo Hai was so angry: "Fuck, I said we would go tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow, and camp in the mountains at night. I have prepared all the camping equipment. You don't need to bring anything."
"Okay, that's it..."
Chen Ran thought for a while but still couldn't figure out what he missed, so he had to give up for now.
After hanging up the phone from Guo Hai, Chen Ran was still thinking about what he missed at that moment, but he didn't have any clue, so he could only put the matter aside in the end.
Looking at the time, he found that it was already past six in the afternoon. Two or three hours had passed unknowingly while he was practicing the eight-knife dividing wave carving technique. As a result, he still hadn't carved out the agate yet.
It was getting late, so Chen Ran didn't continue carving. He called Wang Liang and Bawang and went out to find a restaurant to have something to eat. After dinner, when he came back from outside, he stopped by the Jade Street to buy some decorations.
Jade jewelry boxes, silver pieces for inlay, and chains.
Thinking that I would accompany Guo Hai to climb the mountain tomorrow, I would have to go back to my hometown to see it, so I bought some gold and silver jewelry for my grandmother in my hometown. The older generation like them is undoubtedly very fond of gold and silver.
Solitary.
Before he returned to the villa from outside after dinner, he received a call from Zhu Feng. He wanted to deliver the Maybach to him, but he sent it directly to the villa. When he drove the cross-country back to the villa, Zhu Feng's people
Already waiting at the door of the villa.
In addition to Zhu Feng's people at the door, there were also the security guards of the villa and several other residents. They were all looking around the Maybach in surprise. Apparently, a Maybach suddenly appeared in the villa and took them all away.
Alarmed.
Although Qinglong Villa is the top villa in Tianzhong City, a Maybach-level luxury car is obviously still very eye-catching when placed here. Not to mention Qinglong Villa, even the entire Tianzhong City, now I am afraid there are only
This one.
Chen Ran didn't get out of the car, he directly opened the door of the villa with the remote control and drove the off-road vehicle into the villa. The people sent by Zhu Feng followed Chen Ran and drove the Maybach into the garage of the villa.
Chen Ran sent Zhu Feng's people away, and after playing with the Maybach for a while, he dived into the storage room with satisfaction.
Taking out the piece of agate material called Pink Beauty, Chen Ran took a look and found that eight or nine pairs of bracelets could be made from this piece of pink beauty. Many pendant jewelry could be carved out of the material in the middle of the bracelet.
Chen Ran had already thought about the size of the pendant jewelry before this. The gold and silver inlaid pendants he bought at the jade market were purchased according to the size he had thought of, especially the size of the beads to be carved for Mu Xiaohua.
There is a saying.
With advanced equipment and Chen Ran's eight-knife carving method, several bracelet embryos were carved out in about two hours.
After carving out the embryo, there are still many processes to go through to get the finished product. Chen Ran was not in a hurry to carve out the bracelet, so he temporarily put the embryo of the bracelet aside and took out the material from the bracelet.
Let’s carve agate beads for the Muslim school flower.
The mother beads of Buddhist beads are already available, and what Chen Ran needs to carve now is the child beads. According to the rules of Buddhist beads, the diameter of the child beads of Buddhist beads is generally required to be about one centimeter, and there should be no big error.
Chen Ran carved a total of thirty-six beads. This number does not have an exact meaning. If it does, it means that each of the six roots has three feelings of suffering, happiness, and equanimity, which are combined into eighteen types; and each of the six roots has
The three types of good, bad, and ordinary are combined into eighteen types, totaling thirty-six types, that is, thirty-six types of troubles.
In addition to the child beads, the hanging beads in the Buddhist beads are usually equipped with a beautifully woven "Chinese knot" and a "Buddha head tassel" composed of beautiful jade, jade and other pendants under the mother bead.
Chen Ran carved these out first, and then he could string the mother-of-pearl beads worn by the beauty of Mu School.
After carving the agate beads of the Mu school beauty, in addition to a few bracelets, the remaining materials can also be used to carve many pendants. Chen Ran has not yet decided what to carve, so he puts away the remaining materials.
.
Looking at this string of pink beads exuding holy light in his hand, Chen Ran couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face. At this moment, he could already imagine what the beauty of Mu School would look like after wearing this string of beads around her neck.
How beautiful it is.
Putting away the string of Buddhist beads with great care, Chen Ran looked at the several bracelet embryos on the table, imagining who he would give them to after carving the finished bracelet embryos. Agate bracelets of this color are obviously only for women.
It is suitable to wear one, one for my mother, one for my little sister, one for the school beauty Mu, and one for sister Huiyao and Ruoruo. The rest? The policewoman and the landlady? Xiaoyu?
Well, unconsciously, several figures appeared in Chen Ran's mind.
After thinking about it, he became a little dazed. After being dazed for a long time, Chen Ran took a long breath, shook his head, and put away the embryos and remaining materials for several bracelets.
"Xiao Liang, you are still reading. Stop reading and go to sleep."
Coming out of the storage room, Chen Ran looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. He went to look at Wang Liang and found that he was still reading a book, so he shook his head and persuaded him.
"Well, okay, I'm going to sleep now."
Wang Liang was a little tired from reading, so he put down the book after being persuaded by Chen Ran.
Chen Ran nodded, closed the door for him, and then went back to his room. When he returned to the room, he first sent a text message to the school beauty Mu asking if she had slept. When he learned that she had not slept yet, he gave her the phone number.
Hit it...
[There have been few updates in the past two days. Sorry, I haven’t recovered since I had a serious illness last month. I thought I was already cured. But when I woke up yesterday, I was still the same as before, feeling dizzy and looking for help.
I am no longer in the southeast and northwest. I sat in front of the computer all day at noon today and my head was so dizzy that I didn’t even know what to write. I went to get an injection and I felt better when I came back. I hope I will feel better tomorrow...Thank you Afufu for the tip.]
