"Well, it can also be said that they have not left, but have been waiting for the opportunity." Shangguan Yu said, his eyes moved, and then he reached out his hand to wipe the oil stains from the corners of Bai Ling's mouth.
"In that case, let's wait and see what happens and watch the show. Shangguan, you should try it too. Today's chestnut chicken is particularly delicious." Bai Ling's thoughts were complicated for a moment, but she quickly suppressed them.
Things in the Jin family seemed to be getting more and more complicated, but for now it was just an internal matter within the Jin family, and she didn't want to get involved.
After all, there are grievances from the previous generation that cannot be sorted out and are constantly being cut.
"Well, it does taste good." Shangguan Yu deliberately let Bai Ling feed him a mouthful, but he looked very serious and happy.
After the meal, the two returned to Yuling Residence. After entering, Bai Ling activated the space, and the two of them headed towards Jiming Mountain near Zhao'an Village.
After these days of mining and excavation, half of the weakest point connecting the two mountains has been dug out. According to this progress, in a few months, this mountain path connecting the main road to the outside world will be completely repaired.
Because the mountain is high, everyone who digs the road only digs out a cave underneath, and then fixes it with pillars to support the top.
In order to prevent rocks from falling on the top of the dug hole, people were specially ordered to weave a bamboo roof for support.
After Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu arrived near the cave, they first looked around the space and observed the terrain. It was no different from when they came a few days ago.
The two of them came out of the space, and as soon as they landed on the ground, Bai Ling stepped on a pebble that hurt her feet. When she lowered her head, she found that the pebble was very similar to the one Shangguan Yu showed her in the morning.
"Shangguan, look, does this look like the stone you showed me this morning?" Bai Ling took the small stone in his hand and came to Shangguan Yu, holding it up for him to see.
"Not just like, but exactly the same."
Shangguan Yu took it, took out the small stone in his pocket, and compared it with the one Bai Ling gave. The strange thing is that the two small stones are the same in terms of color, size and texture. This is too strange.
.
Normally, the texture of each stone is unique, so this is why there are no two identical pieces of jade in the world.
"Shangguan, tell me, how can there be two stones with the same texture in this world? Even the tiny cracks on them are the same!" Bai Ling took the two small stones and compared them carefully, feeling full of contentment.
It's doubt.
"Let's look for it again to see if other stones are like this." Shangguan Yu couldn't explain the current phenomenon, so he pulled Bai Ling and continued walking forward.
The floor of the cave had been initially smoothed and repaired to facilitate the transportation of the excavated stones, so the two of them walked in smoothly, except that they did not encounter any more small white stones.
Could it be that this small white stone is only found at the entrance of the cave?
However, there are already a lot of excavated stones outside the cave. If there were some special stone layers at the entrance of the cave, they would have been discovered long ago, instead of appearing only after the cave was dug halfway.
The only possibility is that these small white stones fell into the hole from somewhere, and...
Bai Ling looked at the small stone carefully, then took out the fire seal and looked at it. The small stone was not transparent, but it did not seem to be completely turbid.
If it is jade, if it is kept warm for a period of time, the finished product should be the same!
I just don’t know if the hardness is like ordinary stone. If it is too hard, I’m afraid it will be difficult to cut out jade in the future...
Bai Ling thought about it and knocked it on the ground a few times.
The small white stone was impacted, and with a "click" sound, a thin crack opened on the surface.
This small crack meanders on the white stone, basically cracking most of the stone surface. However, except for one more crack, the whole stone does not seem to have changed much.
Bai Ling looked at the small stone in his hand, and all he thought about was that the stone was of average hardness. After being warmed and cured, it would be easy to mine, but he didn't know if the cracks would affect the growth of the jade...
While Bai Ling was thinking about it, the two of them had already left the cave and started searching around the entrance of the cave. They were playing with the small stones that she had drummed before.
"Ling'er, your hand!" Shangguan Yu suddenly came over nervously and grabbed Bai Ling's hand, looking nervous.
After being reminded like this, Bai Ling realized that her hand holding the stone was stained with a lot of bright red liquid. At first glance, it looked like her hand was bleeding.
"Shangguan, this is not my blood, this..." Bai Ling spread his hands, and through the bright moonlight and the fire fold in Shangguan Yu's hand, Bai Ling could clearly see what the red blood was about.
It was actually the small stone she had knocked just now, and red liquid flowed out from the cracks!
Does the stone bleed?
"It's seeping out of this stone! Shangguan, do you think this stone is really the egg of an animal?" Bai Ling looked at the red liquid that was constantly seeping out from the cracks, and regretted that he just put it on the ground.
Knocked. But she really didn't use much force. She just wanted to test the hardness. This...
Bai Ling was sighing with emotion when he heard another loud "click" sound coming from the small stone. A hole opened in the small white stone, and blood trickled out, seemingly without end.
Out of instinct, Bai Ling subconsciously squeezed the small stone a little tighter. The crack was closed, and there was another "click" sound, and the bleeding actually stopped!
Bai Ling was so shocked that he quickly took out a piece of gauze and wrapped the small stone tightly. The gap was closed and fixed by the gauze, and the bright red liquid stopped flowing out.
"Shangguan, this little stone is so amazing. What on earth is this..." She has never seen such a stone, or such a species.
"I have never encountered such a situation before, but the stones fell here and nothing was found in the cave. Maybe we can find the answer above the entrance of the cave." Shangguan Yu glanced at Bai Ling, thoughtfully.
As he spoke, he held Bai Ling in his arms, grabbed the vine, and landed on the stone above the cave.
There happens to be a protruding boulder above the cave, which is convenient for landing. When looking from below, the boulder is covered by trees, and the space looks small. But when you come up, you find that there is a cave behind the dense trees.
The boulder was very large, and the part that extended inward was far more than the part that protruded. Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu glanced at each other, and then walked inside along the direction of the boulder's extension.
