Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes
Chapter 522 The Sword Hidden in the Wood
Linshan Village was quite large in the past, with more than 200 households. Later, because of the government’s massive road infrastructure projects, more and more villagers went out to work. Those with some ability settled in big cities, and those with little ability returned to their hometowns in the town. Buying a house or settling down in the county is also for children to have a better education.
Now the only people left in that village are old people who are used to the simple and peaceful life in the countryside and don't want to stay in the birdcage all day. But every year during the Spring Festival, unless there are no elderly and children at home, they will basically return to the old house in the country for the festival.
A luxury convoy came to Linshan Village today, and under the leadership of Huang Zhi's Mercedes-Benz, it slowly stopped on the side of the road in front of a two-story building. Huang Zhi's parents and two elderly people over the age of 70 were all looking forward to it, and many people in the village came out to watch. Those young people were more or less knowledgeable. When they saw the luxury cars, they immediately knew that someone important was coming to the village.
Seeing Elder Huang Zhi coming out to greet him, Li Mo hurriedly got out of the car and went up to meet him. Qin Sirui and Liu Yingying wore masks on their faces, so it could only be seen that they were very tall, and they were supposed to be beauties.
The brown bear took out several boxes of famous cigarettes from the carriage, and everyone present gave out a pack, and the children got chocolates.
"Uncle Huang, we'll be bothering you for a few days."
"It's too late for our family to welcome you, so there's no talk of harassment. It's just that we rural people are more casual, and the rough food and light meals we eat may not suit Mr. Li's appetite."
"We're not that hypocritical. Compared with 20 years ago, the current standard of ordinary food has been improved by several levels."
"Mr. Li, please, let's sit in the room."
The brown bear and the others didn't keep up. If more than a dozen of them followed, the room would definitely look crowded.
"Li Mo, this is the best bud my dad found on the market. How about the quality?"
Huang Zhi took out a small handful of dry green shoots from a simple transparent bag, Li Mo picked up a little and smelled it, and then said: "Is there a mountain spring?"
"Yes, it was brought back from a nearby mountain."
"Don't rush to brew after the water boils, let it roll in the pot for a while."
Huang Zhi nodded when he heard the words, filled half of the pot with a stainless steel pot and put it on the charcoal stove to burn it.
"Mr. Li, a few days ago I was chatting with my neighbors in the village, and I accidentally said that a big investor had taken a fancy to our unknown tea and would come to the village for inspection in a few days. I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. In the town, several leaders came over yesterday and wanted to see you, so I wonder if this has caused trouble for you?" Huang Zhi's father was a little uneasy, as he knew all about Li Mo from his son. Although the son didn't reveal much, but looking at his son's current achievements, one can imagine how powerful Li Mo is.
"Dad, you haven't written a word about this matter yet, how can you say it casually."
Huang Zhi was a little anxious.
"It doesn't matter. If they want to come, they can talk to Huang Zhi. From now on, he will take care of this matter, but it will be more difficult if there are too many things."
"Li Mo, I don't know anything about the tea market, so I can't handle it if I'm asked to take charge of it."
"You have to learn from me. If you don't understand, it's fine to let someone who understands do it. You also know Niu Sanpang. His wife is a chain store of famous tea and wine, and she knows the truth about it. Only funds are needed here. Once it is in place, the project can be launched immediately. The channels have already been laid out, and with our own contacts, this unknown tea will soon become an upstart among teas, of course, under the premise of quality assurance."
After hearing these words, Huang Zhi seemed to have opened up a new world before his eyes.
"The water is boiling."
The water rolled in the pot for 30 seconds before Huang Zhi picked it up and poured it into the cup. Immediately, a refreshing tea aroma rose and became stronger and stronger. The tender buds stretched out under the boiling water. One tooth and three leaves.
"Very fragrant tea."
Qin Sirui could smell the tea even though he was wearing a mask, let alone the other people in the room.
"The fragrance of tea is so strong." Huang Zhi was also very surprised. He had been drinking this kind of tea since he was a child, but he never knew that the top quality of Wuming tea was so good. Since the development, people have been drinking famous teas, so when they smell the fragrance of nameless tea, they immediately know that as long as nameless tea can make a name for itself, its value is not inferior to that of Longjing Biluochun.
After brewing for about two minutes, Li Mo picked up the teacup and took a closer look at the color of the soup and the tea leaves that were stretched out.
"Huang Zhi, get in touch with Xu Jiaxin later and ask her to arrange for two master tea fryers to try it out. I think the quality of this tea can be improved to another level. We must seize the first batch of Yuqian tea and Mingming tea after the new year. For the former tea, I will make the packaging more distinctive in the future, and I will use the first batch as a gift to the elders."
"Okay, that's up to me."
Li Mo has almost paved the way ahead of time, if he fails to do this, then he will be ashamed to stay in the group anymore.
"Huang Zhi, this village has a history of many years. Is there anything special about it?"
"Now all those who can go out to work have gone out. The house has not lived for a few days all year round, so it looks dilapidated, and many houses have become dilapidated. It is because of this that the government plans to demolish this place uniformly, and then transform it into farmland. Contracted out. There is nothing to see, and only a few large fish ponds nearby will be released for fishing at the end of the year. At that time, many people from all over the world will come to watch, and it is very lively."
"If we talk about the history of our village, it's almost a hundred years old. A few years ago, the government wanted to transform it into an ancient village tourist attraction. Later, it was investigated that it lacked some unique characteristics of the place, and this matter was shelved. Now the only one in this village that is a bit of a talking point is the Dai’s ancestral hall, now there is only a shell and skeleton left, and people who don’t know it think it’s a dilapidated building.”
"Dai Laoba took the money and didn't come back to repair it?"
"I heard from the people in the village that they have never seen him come back." Huang Zhi's father said helplessly, "I guess he used it for gambling again, or went to find a woman."
Li Mo took a couple of sips from his teacup, it was very good.
"Anyway, idle is idle. Let's go out for a walk. In the north, it's freezing and snowing heavily. In the south, the temperature is much higher."
"Okay, I'll accompany you around."
When a few people walked outside, the villagers greeted them warmly, and naturally they knew Huang Zhi. Who doesn't know that he made a fortune outside and became a billionaire. As long as someone from their family returns to the village, people from the town and even the county will come to visit.
"Yingying, do you remember that when I was young, I went to the countryside with you and my master and wife to celebrate the New Year? At that time, I thought the countryside was much more fun than the city. Many children could run to more than a dozen houses for a meal and a bowl. Time It flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.”
"We've all grown up."
Liu Yingying was also caught in the memory, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Our base camp is in Yanjiao. I am thinking of buying a piece of land in Yanjiao when I return to Kyoto. I want to build a Soviet-style garden there, dig fish ponds, and grow vegetable orchards. On the other hand, I can enjoy the quietness away from the hustle and bustle of the city. life, while being able to integrate into an international metropolis like Kyoto at any time.”
"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid the land there is not very easy to buy." Huang Zhi said here, and then thought of something to laugh at himself, "Of course, when it comes to your side, these things are nothing. Li Mo, look over there , is Dai’s former ancestral hall.”
The Dai's Ancestral Hall is built in the middle of the village. From a distance, it looks like a three-room building, but the door is wide open. There is a plaque on the door, which depicts the four characters of "Dai's Ancestral Hall". Over the years, the plaque has been riddled with moths, and it is also covered with cracks, which will fall off at any time.
When Li Mo walked to the ancestral hall, the roof had basically lost its function of sheltering from the wind and rain, and there were messy things piled up inside. There are also several large cracks in the wall of the ancestral hall. Judging from the situation, it will collapse at any time if it is not removed.
"You stand outside, I'll go in and have a look."
Both Qin Sirui and Liu Yingying knew what he was thinking, so they didn't follow him in, but whispered with Huang Zhi outside.
Li Mo walked into the ancestral hall, there was nothing to see in the ancestral hall, the only thing that caught his attention were the four pillars.
The pillars are poured with cement, and each one is very thick, requiring two adults to work together. Four pillars occupy the four corners and become the pillars of the ancestral hall. The surface of the cement pillar has been painted several times, but it has almost peeled off at this moment, revealing the original mottled cement color.
"Could it be that I'm paranoid?"
Li Mo used his different pupils to see through the ancestral hall. It used to be called digging three feet, but now he can see through three meters, and nothing abnormal happened. Then I swept around one by one, but unfortunately the brick wall is just a brick wall, and there is no interlayer.
Holding the idea of not leaving an inch, Li Mo finally looked at the four most conspicuous concrete pillars. There was no abnormality in the first one, and there was nothing abnormal in the second one, but when it came to the third one, Li Mo's eyes penetrated in, and he saw that there was something else in the middle of the cement pillar, which was a round piece of wood, about one year old. About five meters in length.
A log hidden in a concrete pillar seems to be a bit different. As Li Mo thought, the eyes of the different pupils penetrated in again, and then a dragon suddenly appeared in the world in front of his eyes.
It was a five-clawed dragon.
Li Mo's face was startled, and then he saw a gray halo coming out, forming circles of light that continued to spread. These halos of light were very different from the gray halos he had seen before, because he vaguely saw a giant five-clawed dragon swimming in those fluctuating halos of light.
That giant dragon was full of domineering arrogance, reaching the top. It also seems to be full of boundless sharpness, and the whole world is under its claws.
Li Mo clenched his fists tightly and made a gurgling sound. He closed his eyes for five seconds, then opened them again. This time, the world in front of him was still gray, but without the giant dragon, it was as if he had hallucinated just now.
The gray halo projected from it was a sword hidden in a wooden box.
What sword is that?
It was able to make him hallucinate when he watched it for the first time.
And the sword was placed in the sword box, the sword box was hidden in the log, and finally the log was poured into the concrete pillar, standing quietly in this dilapidated ancestral hall that was about to collapse at any time.
"Xiao Mo."
Qin Sirui called him outside.
When Li Mo turned his head, the different pupils swept across the last concrete pillar, but there was no response at all. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming in, he quickly turned around and said, "It's dangerous here, it's about to collapse at any moment, let's go out."
Qin Sirui looked inquiringly, as if asking him if he found anything weird. Li Mo shook his head slightly, walked out of the ancestral hall with her, and said to Huang Zhi: "You can ask someone to erect a warning sign here. I'm really worried that the ancestral hall will suddenly collapse under heavy rain or a night of northwest wind. The Spring Festival is coming soon. A lot of people will come back, don't be happy when accidents happen."
Huang Zhi looked at the cracks on the outer wall of the ancestral hall, nodded and said hastily, "I'll call the village director right now, this matter must not be careless."
When the four of them left, Li Mo looked back at the concrete pillar standing in the northeast corner. Hidden layers could only show that the sword was very unusual, and it was definitely the most important treasure among the treasures of the Qing Dynasty.
Then they walked to the foot of a mountain near the village, and a small ditch stretched through Linshan Village.
"Li Mo, look at the tea trees that are still green on the mountain, they are basically not formed, and they are planted on a large scale. Because it is an unknown tea, the old people in the village will go to the mountain to pick tea when the season comes, or they will fry it themselves and then eat it during the festival. Go to the town to sell and earn some living expenses. Either pick them and sell them directly to tea merchants. Under normal circumstances, Yuqian tea and Mingqian tea will be taken away by tea merchants because they charge a little higher price."
"Our neighboring counties are all backed by mountains, so the scale of tea trees on the mountains is relatively large. The government once wanted to vigorously develop this green industry, but many investors came, but none of them made a name for themselves. After all, this Tea is like wine, the more famous the higher the price, the more people rush to buy it. If it’s just ordinary, it means that the profit is also very low, and this project will become obsolete after a long time.”
"It's better this way. Let's invest in it again. If it succeeds, maybe we will make one party rich. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Let's walk around the foot of the mountain casually."
At about 10:30 in the morning, Huang Zhi received a call, and then his face became very ugly.
"what happened?"
"It wasn't the fault of Mr. Dai. He owed a whole lot of gambling debts, and was escorted back to the village by the creditor. He suffered a slight injury. He should have been taught a lesson by the other party. You also know that Mr. Dai once Our family has helped him, and now I have achieved success in my career. Although my parents hate him, they are all from the village after all. If they can help, they still want to help."
"It's useless, you don't understand the psychology of gamblers. If you helped today, he will owe more debts next time. Don't forget what happened to me. To deal with this kind of person, you can only be ruthless .”
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Li Mo understands Huang Zhi's concerns. Now that he is well-off, a billionaire, if he doesn't help, it will inevitably make people think that he will forget his roots as soon as he gets rich.
"Go back and have a look."
When the four returned to Huang's house, the door was already full of people. Li Mo asked the two girls to sit in the car first, and he and Huang Zhi squeezed into the encirclement. Dai Laoba was beaten quite badly this time, his cheeks were swollen, and there were dark circles around his eyes. The cotton jacket on his body was torn, exposing the cotton inside.
Standing next to him were five fierce-looking men, each with a tiger head tattoo on their right hand.
Seeing Huang Zhi appear, Dai Laoba immediately rushed to his feet, hugged his calf and shouted miserably: "Uncle Huang, save me, you must save me this time. If you If I don’t pay back the money, they will chop off my hands to repay the debt.”
"You let go." Huang Zhi wanted to break free, but now he became Dai Laoba's only savior, so he couldn't break free at all.
"Uncle Huang, I helped you when your family was in the most difficult time. This time I am in trouble. You can't just ignore it."
Li Mo motioned Huang Zhi to hold back, then lightly kicked Dai Laoba's feet and said, "I think chopping off your hands is the best idea. Think about it yourself, you will really quit after you lose your hands." It’s a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, so why are you crying in front of the folks?”
Dai Laoba heard the voice sound familiar, but when he looked up, his crying expression froze immediately, then he stood up from the ground and saluted respectfully, "Mr. Li, long time no see."
Li Mo curled his lips and said, "How much do you owe?"
"Not much, not much at all, just over 30,000 yuan." Dai Laoba replied with his head bowed.
At this moment, Li Mo turned around and glanced at the five men, pointing to Dai Laoba: "Just now he said that if he doesn't pay back the money, you will chop off his hands?"
"He has no money to pay back. We have to give the boss an explanation. He said he has no money, so we have to follow suit. Sir, we also need to support our family."
"It's not easy. In this case, everyone stay away and don't get splashed with blood. It looks unlucky all year round."
Dai Laoba and the five creditors were immediately dumbfounded, what kind of operation is this.
"What are you all standing there for? Chop off his hands earlier, and you can return to your life earlier. If you are timid, turn around later. After all, bloody scenes are not suitable for children."
While backing away, Li Mo urged them to act quickly.
But after the five people looked at each other, one of them said to Li Mo: "This boss, we don't really want to chop off his hands, but if he doesn't pay back the money, we will be sad this year."
"I can understand your situation, that's why I asked you to chop off his hands directly. First, his debts will be written off, and second, you can go back and return to your life. But it looks like you don't have the guts. In this way, you Take it back and hand it directly to your boss, and you can just follow his orders as you deal with him."
At this time, the brown bear has already brought a group of people forward. They were all born as soldiers kings. They have carried guns, drawn knives, and let go of cannons. They were trained in an extremely harsh environment. Their aura when they appeared on the stage scared the people around them back one after another.
"Give you a minute to get out, or we will have to throw you out." The brown bear's tall and strong body was like a giant beast about to run away, and the faces of several people changed in fright.
"Dai Laoba, we'll ask for that money later, and you don't even think about running away, otherwise the next time it falls into our hands, it won't be a matter of getting punched a few times. Let's go."
The five trotted away in embarrassment, Li Mo walked into the house, Huang Zhi followed behind, and behind was Dai Laoba who escaped by chance.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Li Mo sat on the chair and asked Dai Laoba.
"Mr. Li, thank you so much just now." Dai Laoba whispered while covering his face, opening his mouth too wide would leak air.
"You can't live honestly. Let me remind you again that your Dai's ancestral hall will collapse at any time. It is best to demolish the ancestral hall before the hidden danger breaks out, otherwise if anyone accidentally gets hurt , You are not the one who is unlucky. If things get serious, you won't be able to pay for it if you are ripped apart."
Dai Laoba is obviously a bachelor and has been black to the end. He scratched his messy hair and said, "The ancestral hall will definitely be demolished in the next year. Now I don't have any money, so there's no use in worrying."
Li Mo really wanted to step forward and beat him a few times, but he thought of the sword hidden in the wood in the ancestral hall again, so he had no choice but to endure it.
"Dai Laoba, I have asked the village director to get some warning signs and put them there. You'd better pray that nothing serious happens, otherwise you will basically stay inside for the rest of your life."
Dai Laoba obviously went in, so he felt a little shadowy. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, why don't you lend me some money, I'll rent two trucks, and ask the neighbors to help out. Tomorrow, the ancestral hall will be demolished, and all the bricks and the like over there will be removed and cleaned up, so that there will never be any hidden dangers in the future."
"Dai Laoba, shut up." Huang Zhi stepped forward and was about to kick him, this guy was already so shameless.
Li Mo reached out to block him.
