"Xue Chen, what are you doing?" Liu Qingshuang was about to suggest changing the place to camp. After all, it would be unlucky to have a corpse here. Unexpectedly, Xue Chen suddenly took an engineer shovel to turn over the corpse.
She thought that it was pitiful enough that this stranger died alone in the depths of the old forest. There was no need to disturb his body. He should be allowed to continue sleeping here in peace.
Xue Chen casually turned the body to the side, and then revealed something underneath the body. It was an unpainted brown leather stitched pocket bag, although it had been exposed to wind and rain for ten years.
, but it was not completely rotten and still maintained its original shape.
He gently touched the outside of the leather bag with an engineering shovel, and heard a crisp knocking sound. Hearing this sound, Xue Chen knew what was inside, and said directly: "It's jade!" This sound
He is really too familiar.
"What? Jade?" Liu Qingshuang opened her eyes in surprise.
Xue Chen took the engineer shovel and scratched the leather pocket hard. The leather, which was already very dirty, was immediately cut open, revealing some of the contents inside, with a little bit of green appearing.
"It's really jade!" Liu Qingshuang exclaimed.
Xue Chen used an engineering shovel to push the leather bag away from the body and put it aside. Then he cut the leather bag into pieces completely, exposing all the jadeite inside. There were more than a dozen pieces of jadeite in total.
They are all blanks, that is, the outer skin and the cotton wool and water foam have been cut off, leaving only the valuable parts, but they have not been carved.
These jadeite blanks are also large and small, the big ones are as big as two fists, the small ones are only the size of table tennis balls, and there are also flat ones.
Seeing these emeralds, Xue Chen's eyes lit up. Although he glanced at them briefly and did not look carefully, he could also tell that the quality of these jadeite roughs was quite good.
"How come there is jade?" Liu Qingshuang looked at Xue Chen confused, waiting for an explanation.
"Hmm... maybe it's smuggling." Xue Chen touched his chin and took another look at the body. He felt that it was most likely a smuggler. If Myanmar's jadeite wants to enter the country, it also needs to pay taxes and fees.
It seems that the amount is not very small, so naturally some people will take risks to smuggle it, which is the same as smuggling luxury cars and electronic products.
Liu Qingshuang took another look at the corpse and sighed slightly: "This is a man-made death. I see that his corpse is not mutilated. He probably died from an attack by a beast like an Indochinese tiger. Judging from his sitting position, he did not die immediately."
Yes, it must have been bitten by a venomous snake, or a sudden illness."
"How did he die? There is no need for us to discuss it. We will sell his body later and bury him in the ground. These emeralds will be our reward." The look on Xue Chen's face was confused.
Care.
"Ah, do you plan to take these jadeite away?" Liu Qingshuang looked at Xue Chen blankly. When Xue Chen looked at her, she said calmly, "This belongs to a dead person. This is not good."
Xue Chen laughed out loud: "What's wrong with this? Look at the treasures in museums all over the country. Many of them are dug out from ancient tombs. They are not put out for everyone to appreciate. No one says no.
Well, of course, if you dislike the bad luck, then I won’t give it to you and keep it for myself. Let’s talk about it first. The quality of these jadeite blanks is good, and they might be worth tens of millions. Each person can pay several million for half of it.
Woolen cloth."
Hearing what Xue Chen said, Liu Qingshuang didn't care so much, and hurriedly pursed her lips and said: "Who said I don't want it anymore! That's it, it's settled, one person is half of it, no cheating!"
She is not a noble person who regards money as dirt, nor is she a wealthy person. To her, millions of dollars are completely astronomical figures. The most important thing is that this is not ill-gotten wealth, and she feels at ease with it.
Didn't Chen say that he would bury the deceased in a while and that would be his reward?
Xue Chen walked to the corpse and began to dig a pit with an engineer shovel. The soil was very soft and easy to dig. It took less than ten minutes to dig a pit that was nearly two meters long and half a meter deep. He used an engineer shovel to dig a pit.
He pushed the bones into the pit and then buried them with soil one by one.
Liu Qingshuang stood aside and watched, and asked with a somewhat complicated expression: "Xue Chen, why do you think he took the risk of going through the old forest to smuggle? Since he has so many jade, if he sells it through normal channels, he will not make any profit from smuggling.
It’s a lot, but it should be several million, so why bother.”
"I don't know about that. Maybe it's more than just smuggling. For example, the origin of these jadeite is abnormal, for example, it was stolen? It can't be sold in the country, so it can only be smuggled. Or maybe he is just a big boss.
Ma Zi, what did the boss order him to do? But this is what I said casually."
Of course, what he said was not nonsense. He had just taken a quick look and found that the clothes the deceased was wearing and the shoes on his feet did not look like high-end goods, and he did not look like a wealthy person.
After burying the body, Xue Chen turned around and picked up the jadeite blanks and put them in his pocket.
Since there was a corpse buried here, the two of them had stayed here for the night, so they had no choice but to change places. The two walked out, walked around here, and found a similar place.
Still gathering firewood and building a fire.
"Didn't you say yesterday that the wooden sticks I picked up were wet? Why are the wooden sticks you picked up so wet today?" When Xue Chen was about to light a fire, he saw that the wooden sticks piled together were not completely dry.
Liu Qingshuang stood opposite, her apricot eyes wide and bright, like a searchlight monitor, pursed her lips and hummed softly: "Don't you have gasoline? Then sprinkle some gasoline on it." After saying that, the corners of his lips whispered quietly.
It tilted a bit.
She picked up these uncooked pieces of wood on purpose, just to see how Xue Chen performed magic. Since yesterday, she had seen Xue Chen perform magic many times, producing gasoline and magic.
The pots, pans, rice porridge, eggs, and the black backpack containing supplies were also gone!
This time, she must see it clearly!
How could Xue Chen not guess Liu Qingshuang's little thoughts? He raised his eyes and looked at the pretty face with a pointed chin, looked aside suddenly, and shouted: "There is a tiger!"
When Liu Qingshuang heard that there was a tiger, her expression changed. She hurriedly turned around and pulled out the pistol on her waist: "Where is it? Where is the tiger?"
After asking a few questions but not hearing Xue Chen's answer, Liu Qingshuang immediately realized what she was doing. When she looked back, she saw that the bonfire had been lit and gave off bursts of gasoline smell.
"You actually lied to me?!" Liu Qingshuang's voice was too high, she gritted her teeth and glared at Xue Chen, questioning with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was dazzled just now and saw something wrong." Xue Chen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, with some playfulness in his eyes.
"Huhu." Liu Qingshuang took a few deep breaths, rolled her eyes at Xue Chen with some depression, and squatted beside the fire to warm herself up and dispel the dampness on her body.
"Where's the food? I'm hungry. If there's still water, bring me a bottle." Liu Qingshuang stared at Xue Chen again. This time, she wouldn't divert her attention even if she was beaten to death. She wanted to see where Xue Chen got it from.
Bring food and water.
Xue Chen stood up and asked what he wanted to eat.
Liu Qingshuang laughed at this question: "It's as if I can eat whatever I want. I want to eat fried steak, do you have it?"
After saying this, she remembered what happened in the morning, the bowl of white porridge, the hot white-water eggs, and the shiny fried steamed bun slices. If that was magic, it should surpass any magician in the world.
Become a teacher...
"I really don't have fried steak." Xue Chen spread his hands, "The food and drink are behind you, take it yourself."
"Haha, I don't believe you, don't try to lie to me!" Liu Qingshuang affirmed, Xue Chen wanted to trick herself back again, and then took the opportunity to conjure things up.
Xue Chen smiled and shook his head: "I really didn't lie to you this time."
While Liu Qingshuang stared at Xue Chen, she looked behind her with the corner of her eye. There seemed to be something really there, biscuits and mineral water? She looked back and saw that it was indeed compressed biscuits and mineral water.
So I reached out and picked it up. Although I was surprised, I was already used to it.
When she turned around, she saw a scene that made her eyes widen. Xue Chen was sitting cross-legged on a sleeping bag with a basin on his knees. This was not the most important thing. The main thing was that there was a lot of food in the basin. She
I scanned and saw a complete roast duck. The packaging bag was from a well-known local brand in Haicheng City. In addition, there was also a bag of soy sauce beef and a few side dishes?
She was dumbfounded. It took her a while to realize what she was doing. She walked over and asked angrily: "Xue Chen, how could you do this? Give me compressed biscuits while you eat roast duck and beef with soy sauce?"
"Didn't I ask you what to eat just now? You said fried steak, but I didn't have it. I only have these. If you want to eat it, I didn't say not to eat it for you." Xue Chen said in a light tone.
"You are so... so mad at me!" Liu Qingshuang stamped her foot hard, feeling that she would always be the loser in front of Xue Chen, so she simply said nothing, knelt down and vented her anger on the roast duck.
He reached out and pulled off a sizzling roast duck leg.
"Ah, why is it still a little hot?" Liu Qingshuang exclaimed.
Some of these foods, such as those rice porridge and eggs, were specially put into Yutong Space before departure, but some of them were bought casually when passing by some snack bars on weekdays. They will not spoil anyway and are freshly baked.
He threw the roast duck into the Jade Eye Space, and it was naturally hot when he took it out.
He himself feels that the Jade Eyes Space is so sharp, it is simply good news for foodies. (To be continued)
