Every Day One Step Closer To the Manifestation

After returning to the residence from the village chief's house, there is still not much quiet time. From time to time, villagers come to recommend their own things to them.

For the villagers, it would be best if they could exchange some money. If they couldn’t exchange it, they wouldn’t lose anything. They had plenty of time.

These things are not expensive, Feng Yi bought them as small gifts and took them home as gifts. At the same time, he would inquire about some things about this rainforest when trading with the villagers. No matter what, whether it was legends or gossip, he would be happy. Listening can be regarded as an information channel.

After five or six batches of villagers came one after another, they stopped for a while.

After closing the door, Cai Bin poured a glass of water. He was so busy translating that his mouth was almost dehydrated.

Finally stopped, he can also take a good rest.

Just as I sat down, I heard a knock on the door again.

Xiao Ding, who was closest to the door, walked over and took a look: "It's the child from last night." The one who knocked on the door was the child they helped find last night. He was standing in front of the door with a net bag in his hand. Inside the bag are coconut shells for holding things.

"Let him come in." Feng Yi said.

The child named Sulaimu walked awkwardly, probably because he was "cared for" by his family after he was found last night. Cai Bin showed a knowing smile, then quickly restrained himself, and quickly entered the working mode.

He Cai Bin is a professional translator, serious and sincere, courteous.

We represent the face of the patron, so we must be a qualified translator! Don't be rude!

What happened after Sulaimu was found last night, Feng Yi and the others have already got news from the villagers who traded.

This village is not big, and there is nothing new in normal times. What happened in the village head's house can make the villagers talk for a long time. It's not a secret either, when I came here to recommend my items to Feng Yi, I chatted casually.

According to a villager, after Su Laim was found, he was called by his own father to have a communication of fatherly kindness and filial piety. The emotions on both sides were too strong, and the voices were quite loud.

When Cai Bin heard the villagers say these things, he followed suit and sighed: "It's incredible, Su Laim was only ten years old and he was able to confront his father head-on, even more bearish than a sun bear!"

This fierce communication between father and son was finally subsided under the intervention of the village chief.

"Sulaimu, right? Sit down." Feng Yi showed a friendly smile to the child. According to the patron's attitude, Cai Bin also translated in a gentle voice, trying not to scare the children.

Facing so many strangers alone, Sulaimu was a little nervous and looked outside the door.

Not far from the door, his little friend was looking at him.

Feng Yi also saw it, and asked, "That's your friend? Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

Sulaimu shook his head, walked over and sat down a bit cautiously, and handed the net bag he brought to Feng Yi with both hands, with a grateful face, using accented English with a few Chinese words mixed in, expressing his own express the meaning.

Although the village is far away from the city, he can get in touch with outsiders from time to time, and with the assistance of high-tech electronic equipment, he has learned a lot of knowledge. These include Chinese, English and other languages ​​with great global influence.

Sulaimu told Feng Yi that he was locked up at home for half a day in the morning, and when he was eating at noon, he asked his family to personally thank Feng Yi for saving his life. After all, the villagers were able to find them accurately and quickly, and Feng Yi's keen sense of smell really helped a lot.

The family has already thanked him, but Sulaimu believes that he must come here in person to show his sincerity.

Sulaimu's language talent is not bad, and he can roughly express the meaning after stumbling. Cai Bin also reduced his chances of speaking. He listened to Sulaimu's words and felt that the kid was not bad. Feng Yi's expression didn't change, and he didn't comment on what happened to Sulaimu this time. He still listened to Sulaimu's narration. Facing the savior, Sulaimu not only thanked him, but also explained that there was a reason for him to go there.

Children in the village are usually not very restricted, but there are strict regulations on entering the rainforest, and they must be accompanied by adults or only with permission.

The day before yesterday, Sulaimu and several teenage children in the village were allowed to go to the woods to try

Playing with a newly acquired flying toy, but due to unskilled operation and environmental factors, one of the toys fell to the forbidden area. He wanted to look for it at the time, but his family and other people in the village did not allow it. He only said Wait until the next time the village organizes a team to go to the forbidden area, and then help me find it.

But that will have to wait a few days, and if it rains, Sulaym's toys will be broken! That is Sulaimu's favorite toy now!

This time it happened that Feng Yi and the others came over, and the adults didn't keep an eye on them.

"So, I'll find a chance to go over and get my toys, who knows..."

Sulaimu pouted.

When he was five years old, he was taken to the edge of the restricted area to participate in sacrificial activities.

After the age of seven, he often followed the picking team and went into the forest to participate in daily work. By now, he was very familiar with the area of ​​the rainforest near the village. From the village to the restricted area, I have been back and forth many times, and I am familiar with the climate here and the rules of this rainforest. For him, the danger is not great.

If all goes well, we can return to the village before it gets completely dark.

He was also prepared, and he also brought anti-snake and insect medicine, and went straight to his destination when he found an opportunity.

Sulaimu didn't say anything about the process of going to the forbidden area to get the toy, but just summed it up dryly:

"The rainforest is awe-inspiring, you don't know what you will encounter next moment." Explaining the reason why he entered the rainforest alone, and sincerely expressing his gratitude, Sulaimu did not leave immediately, but showed hesitation, looking inside the room The others, as if they had finally made up their minds, took out a pebble from their pockets.

It's not big, it's a very small one, slightly yellowed, it should be that the mud stains attached to it haven't been washed thoroughly, it's not the original color of this stone.

Many people don't pay much attention to such inconspicuous pebbles at first sight.

However, when Cai Bin saw this stone, his eyes froze and he looked at Feng Yi again.

Feng Yi's complexion didn't change.

Cai Bin opened his mouth to speak, but stopped. His current job is to translate, and he will not be the first to speak out if the donor has not expressed his opinion.

Seeing Feng Yi, Su Laim just looked over calmly, thinking that Feng Yi didn't know him, and just about to explain, he heard Feng Yi say:

"A rough diamond?"

This one is too small, not worth much, and most importantly, Feng Yi is not interested in it.

Seeing Feng Yi recognized him but reacted so plainly, Su Laim showed surprise on his face.

The other party's appearance not only reassured Sulaimu a little, but also worried that the other party was not interested and the diamond would not be sold.

Sulaimu hesitated for a while before making a decision. Pass this diamond directly to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi didn't answer, but asked: "Is this picked up in the forest?"

"It's not the forest, it's the other side." Sulaimu pointed in the direction, "It was found in our farmland, not far from the plantation over there."

"Then where does it belong?" Feng Yi asked again.

Sulaimu said with a smile: "Our local rules, whoever finds it belongs to him! In the past, someone from other villages found diamonds in their own farmland, which was much bigger than mine, and they sold for a lot of money! My luck is not as good as others. I just found diamonds. Such a small one, my grandfather said, it won’t sell for much.”

The national conditions are different, and Feng Yi didn't ask too much about it, he really didn't have such thoughts.

"You want to sell it to me? Why don't you give it to your grandfather and let him sell it for you?" Feng Yi asked.

"I want a new big-screen smartphone, a tablet, and a solar-powered charger!" Sulaimu's eyes lit up when he mentioned this, "But my family doesn't buy these things. My grandpa said, if you want, you can earn it yourself. I planned to raise pigs and sell them for money, but I was lucky enough to pick up this diamond, which can make my goal come true ahead of time. If you accept it, I will sell it to you cheaply! My grandpa said Alright, I picked up this diamond and it belongs to me!"

"Sell it to me with so much confidence." Feng Yi said.

"You are my savior!" Sulaimu smiled innocently, and handed the hand in the direction of Fengyi.

Feng Yi hesitated and didn't want to accept it.

Sulaimu passed it forward again: "Hold it and see, it's a real diamond! Natural!"

He knows that there are a lot of man-made diamonds in the market now, but he also knows that there are many people who prefer natural diamonds!

Cai Bin, who was sitting next to him, remained silent.

Although this rough diamond is indeed small, it will become even smaller after cutting and grinding, so it cannot be sold at a high price in the market.

But if the clarity is good, he can also have a small few thousand. He also wants this kind of windfall!

Over there, Feng Yi still took the small stone under the enthusiastic recommendation of Sulaimu.

Sulaimu continued to recommend enthusiastically: "This is the hardest gemstone in nature!"

Feng Yi pinched it with two fingers, a little absent-minded.

Sulaimu's "The Hardest Gem" came to his ears, and he unconsciously increased his strength.

The hardest gem, it should not be afraid

Click!

Feng Yi looked at his hand.

Let go of your fingers, and a small stone, which was originally small, cracked a small piece and fell on the table.

Sulaimu, who was sitting across from him talking excitedly, almost broke apart.

The enthusiastic words stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at the crumbs in Feng Yi's hand.

Frightened, lost.

Then the disappointment that could not be concealed appeared on the face, and the huge psychological gap shocked the mind.

Sadness flows into a river.

Diamonds!

Such a hard stone, how could it be broken with just a pinch!

There is only one possibility - it is fake!

He thought it was a diamond, but it was actually some other stone? !

If this one is fake, then his mobile phone, computer!

fly!

Become a bubble burst!

Tears will flow down.

Feng Yi was embarrassed: "Well... sorry, it was crushed."

The tears hanging in Sulaimu's eyes finally fell.

Feng Yi hurriedly said: "I will compensate you for a mobile phone. After all, this diamond was broken in my hands. Well, I should pay for it!"

Sulaimu thought that Feng Yi was releasing a mockery, and said, "I was wrong, I thought it was a diamond."

Feng Yi: "It's a diamond."

Sulaym: Huh?

Feng Yi looked serious: "Mineral crystals will crack along a certain crystallographic direction under the action of external force, while diamonds are easy to crack under the action of external force. After all, it is only hard, not tough enough."

Sulaym: "Really, really?!"

Feng Yi nodded: "Yeah!"

Hope rekindled in Sulaimu's eyes.

Cai Bin next to him gave Feng Yi a strange look, and then looked at the cracked diamond on the table.

It's true that diamonds are hard but not very tough. But is it so easy to break apart? !

Didn't drop it, didn't hit it with a hard object, just pinched it on your fingers, and it cracked?

Are you bluffing kids?

No matter what others think, Sulaimu believes Feng Yi's words again, or he is more willing to believe Feng Yi's statement.

Maybe the stone already had cracks, and it broke when it was hard?

Thinking of this, the disappointed expression on Su Laim's face gradually receded.

The diamond cracked, and Feng Yi promised to compensate Sulaimu with a mobile phone.

However, as the grandson of the village chief, Sulaimu still has vision and heart. Since he thinks it is caused by the diamond itself, Feng Yi does not need to compensate.

However, Feng Yi insisted that since his family knew about his family affairs, he would not be stingy with a mobile phone, and the compensation would not be too conspicuous. After all, it scared the children to tears.

Sulaym complied.

After Sulaimu left, Cai Bin came over and looked at the broken diamonds left on the table.

"Is this really picked up in the farmland? This kid is really lucky!" Cai Bin sighed.

Feng Yi: "Finding gold in shit."

The other four didn't understand:?

Feng Yi smiled: "It's also luck."

Without further ado, I washed my hands with antibacterial soap.

He really didn't want to take that diamond!

Next time, bring gloves with you.

On the other hand, Sulaimu returned home with a lot of worries.

The family is already waiting.

Not long after, the village chief also came back from the outside. He had received the news and came to ask for details.

Close the door and send someone to watch outside to prevent other people from eavesdropping.

Sulaimu explained in detail what happened to Feng Yi.

Although Sulaimu was immature and a little impulsive, he was very good at executing important matters. He would follow how the village chief taught him to do things. Especially this time it involves their own greater interests, and they will never reveal too much in front of outsiders.

Hearing from Sulaimu that the diamond in Feng Yi's hand was cracked, the people sitting around the room were breathing disorderly. Like Sulaym, their first reaction was "the diamond is fake"!

The village chief also showed astonishment on his face, but quickly calmed down again:

"No, it's true. We have randomly selected three to verify, but the one that Sulaimu took over had a crack, and it cracked when I exerted a lot of force."

They couldn't think of any other explanation than this one.

That's what he said, but the village head still took out the things again.

What Sulaimu found was not just a diamond!

When bringing these things back, Sulaimu just packed them in a small leather bag, and there was still a lot of soil in it.

But at this time, it has been replaced with a stronger box, and the outside is wrapped with vines that are very common here.

Open it, and the inside is covered with more delicate flannelette, and the most conspicuous ones are the stones that have been washed one by one.

Although there are no particularly exaggerated big ones, there are a lot of them.

There are white, there are obvious yellowish.

This bag of rough diamonds is exactly what Sulaimu found last night!

Most of what Sulaimu told Feng Yi about finding flying toys was true.

Some people in the village knew about this matter, even if Feng Yi asked, he would get the same information.

But others don't know that when Sulaimu went looking for flying toys yesterday, he found diamonds! so much!

Otherwise, Sulaym wouldn't have stayed there for so long that he couldn't return on time.

Sulaimu was so excited when he found these diamonds. In order not to miss them, he stayed longer than expected. When he wanted to return to the village, the giant python was already approaching.

Sulaimu was indeed alert. He immediately ran to the nearest tree and climbed to the high crown.

He can still escape during the day, but at night he can’t see anything, and there are giant pythons blocking his way in the familiar direction. He knows how dangerous the rainforest is. To be safe, he can only run to the tree and wait for rescue, or wait until dawn .

I wanted to blow the whistle to send a distress signal, but I couldn't find the whistle and fell off the road.

If it weren't for these diamonds, the "father-son relationship" that Sulaimu enjoyed after returning would not stop there. Still want to go out? !

The information that outsiders can inquire about is also what they intentionally disclosed.

Sulam went to thank Feng Yi today. The village chief picked out the smallest diamond and asked him to take this opportunity to test the reaction of outsiders and the selling price of this small diamond.

This is where things went unexpectedly.

Who would have thought that the diamond would crack!

There are so many diamonds, but one with a crack was chosen!

But after all, the village chief chose it himself, and the others dared not speak out even if they murmured in their hearts.

Of course, none of this matters.

All eyes in the room fell on the diamonds in the box.

These diamonds may have been lost by the smuggling gang more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, in the rainforest, a smuggling gang met a poaching gang. There was a fight, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the leader of the smuggling gang even died on the spot.

It is said that the ringleader carried diamonds with him,

However, the police found nothing when they searched the scene, and the interrogation did not reveal anything.

Those diamonds may have been taken away, but it is impossible to know who took them.

In addition, a monkey kept by the leader of the smuggling gang disappeared. That news was a big hit at the time, after all, it involved a bag of diamonds. It can make the smuggling gang take risks, and that bag of diamonds is definitely worth a fortune!

In the two years after the incident, rainforest villages and nearby towns were very active in combating smuggling and poaching, and some social organizations also rushed to take action.

But as time passed, UU Reading www. The countless bloodshed behind the uukanshu.com diamond gradually subsided, and the diamond still did not fall.

It was rumored that those diamonds had been brought into the market long ago and had already been digested by the market.

The village chief thought so too.

It's just that no one expected that they would find it in the forbidden area!

The village chief has roughly guessed the direction of the incident.

More than ten years ago, the monkey raised by the leader of the smuggling gang fled carrying diamonds, and happened to meet the "Forbidden Messenger" who was out looking for food.

At that time, the "Forbidden Messenger" hadn't reached its current size, but it was still a big snake, and it could easily eat a monkey.

The village head looked at the rough diamonds in the box with burning eyes, as if the halo of faith shone on it.

Ah~~

This must be the favor of the gods!
