Return to Splendid

Xing Yi stood on a hillside far away from the county town because of a dream the day before.

As soon as he got up in the hotel, a car from the police station came to pick him up and told him that Mr. Hong was taking pictures in Shaheba and had stolen a lot of secrets, and asked him to help arrest him.

He followed without hesitation.There was a beach by the river. The man named Hong was lying on the beach, digging hard for something. He knew intuitively that he was digging for soapstone.

The man surnamed Hong saw him coming and said, he came just in time. Look, the bloodstone has appeared. He bent down to look at it, wasn't it? It looked like a bird's beak, stained with bright red color, very dazzling. Hong said that once this thing emerges, it must be dug out within 5 minutes. It cannot see light and will shrink quickly.

Xing Yi quickly took action, used all four hands to dig out the stone, put it into a sack, tied the sack tightly, and carried it into the large iron box.

Xing Yi was pushing from behind, and the man surnamed Hong was driving in front. When the motorcycle reached the road, the man surnamed Hong got on it and was about to drive away.

The motorcycle overturned, and the big iron box fell to one side. The chicken blood stone rolled out and rolled into the ditch. The two of them went to grab it together, and the stone broke into two halves.

The man surnamed Hong said it was over now, and Xing Yi said, isn't this good?Everyone gets half, no need to fight.

He took the half of the stone and sent it to the expo. After looking at it, the host told him that a good stone could have been sold for [-] or [-] yuan, but in this condition, it was worthless.

The host raised a sledgehammer and smashed the chicken blood stone in a few blows, and Xing Yi woke up with a start.

He couldn't sleep anymore. What was the meaning of this dream?Was it hinting to him that the bloodstone was buried under the river beach?

If he had arrived at the river beach earlier and dug out the chicken blood stone before Hong arrived, making sure that the stone was intact, then...

I woke up early in the morning and looked at the sky. The stars were twinkling. It was definitely a sunny day. I didn’t go back to sleep. I simply freshened up, rushed to the station, and got on the first bus at seven o’clock...

Before arriving at the river beach, we first went to a village halfway up the mountain and found eight people, all of whom were strong young adults. We agreed with them to bring our tools and work in the river beach behind the mountain, digging and looking for colored stones. Five dollars an hour.

When we were crossing the mountain pass, a call came in. I saw it was from Hu Yanli. I knew that she had gone to the countryside to investigate and had the results. I hurried towards the mountain and found a tree. I stood on the branches of the tree to answer it. As I said that, the signal was cut off.

After listening to Hu Yanli's words, I knew that she had gone to the countryside and came back. Things had taken a turn for the better. Nothing happened. Ni Shuzhen had already made an appointment. The location was the sports committee playground. She really knew how to choose. Hu Yanli knew him so well.

What should we do now?Now that I'm here, I should focus on the present first, find the bloodstone, take it back and show it to Ni Shuzhen, and let her be astonished as never before, it couldn't be better!

Among these eight young men, there was a leader named Bao, and they all called him Lao Si.

Xing Yi was very excited as soon as he told him his last name. The person named Bao led someone to help him dig for treasure. This was not only a coincidence, but also coincided with his wish.

He also arranged for two young men of fifteen or sixteen years old to wait at both ends of the car about two kilometers away. The task was to send a signal immediately when they found someone riding a motorcycle with a large iron box tied to the butt of the motorcycle. A tree fell down on the top of a hill.

He didn't want Hong to arrive at this time.

The six people were busy on the river beach for most of the day, and found a few colored stones, with white spots, textures, similar to goose eggs, and resembling human heads and birds. They were somewhat beautiful, but not the ultimate goal.

He has never seen the true face of a chicken-blood stone. He has never seen the true face of a chicken-blood stone in his past life and now.He believed that as long as there was red, he would collect it and take it back for further research.

But for some reason, the chicken-blood-colored stone never showed its face.After working for more than three hours, the group stopped and exchanged glances with each other. Bao Laosi put down his pickaxe and came to find him.

He said: "I am so hungry and I don't have a sip of water."

Xing Yi said: "Yes, I am the same as you. Otherwise, you can send someone as a representative to go back to the village to bring food and water."

"Then we have to advance some money."

"It's not finished yet. We'll work until the end and pay together. This is something we've negotiated first. Let's talk before we mess up, right?"

Bao Laosi wanted to find his head and went back. After working for another hour, all six people stopped, and Bao Laosi walked slowly over.

"We can't do anything anymore. We can only do it if you lend us some money first to get some food. You can deduct it when you pay the final bill."

Xing Yi subconsciously touched his pocket and felt flustered. On the surface, he was calm and did not let Bao Laosi see it. He said, "This is impossible. I won't pay until the end. I can't break this rule."

Bao Laosi showed his cards: "I see you don't have any money."

"Who said I didn't bring any money?"

"We won't force you, just take out the money and let us take a look."

"You're worried, aren't you?" He shook the phone, "You see, this mobile phone itself is worth five thousand, how many days can it last for eight of you? Just do the math."

"No matter how expensive your machine is, we don't want it. No matter how little our labor money is, we still want cash."

A few more people came over, but Xing Yi couldn't take it any longer and said with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth, I've contacted my relatives in Houshanzhai. We were originally together. He had something to go to temporarily. The money is all with him. I'll wait for a while." Let’s go get it together.”

"Our front village and back village belong to the same administrative village. What is the name of your relative? Tell us and we will listen."

Xing Yi really couldn't cope with it. He blamed himself for being in a hurry when he came. He only brought 20 yuan with him, which was only enough for one person's expenses, so he didn't think of finding anyone to work for him.

"Let's do this. You go ahead and choose someone to go with me and bring the money."

Bao Laosi said: "One person can't do it, or two."

The initiative was no longer in his hands, so Xing Yi had to give in: "Okay, here are two people, and the others will continue to work."

The two people selected were the thickest among the eight. It was obvious that their suspicions had increased.

Xing Yi didn't want to bother anymore. The news trees on both sides didn't fall down for most of the day. In other words, there was no sound of motorcycles and no trace of the man named Hong. He might have gone to other places.It seems that this river beach is not a place where soapstone is found, and it would be a waste of effort to continue. The most important thing is to consider how to escape.

Two stout young men followed closely one behind the other.

After passing the front village and heading towards the back village, he told the two young men that his relative's house was at the highest point in the village.

"You see, one of those houses is a thatched house. The tiled house next to the thatched house is my relative's home."

"move."

Xing Yi said: "I want to pee."

"Your mouth is so dry and you still have to pee?"

"You have worked hard, and all the water has turned into sweat. I have been idle, just talking, and the water has not evaporated very much. The urine is still there."

"It's better to hold it in and go to your relatives' house."

"How come? Don't you elders here have a saying that if you bring thousands with you, you can't bring urine into your home, it's not clean."

The two looked at each other. The elders had said this before. Why haven't I heard of it?

He insisted on spreading it outside.

Pointing to the open-air toilet not far away: "If you don't believe me, take one and follow me."

They said, "No, you are tall and we can see your head."

Xing Yi shook his head and walked into the open-air toilet.

The back wall of the open-air toilet was not high. He shrunk his neck, jumped over it with a slight jump, picked up a smelly stone and threw it in the opposite direction. The sound of the stone falling to the ground attracted them to turn around and take a look. He took the opportunity to run away. Scurrying like a rabbit into the cedar forest.

He ran around in the fir forest for a while, climbed over another mountain pass, and rushed into another forest. He walked for more than ten miles. When he came out of the forest, he saw a village. He went around the back and found a house with a trampoline. He paid 100 yuan. He paid a high price, drove him back to the city in a bungalow, went to the hotel to give the money to others, and then went to the street to have dinner.

After I came back and washed myself, I lay down on the bed. Thinking about how those people were now, I felt sad. I couldn't bear to make you irritated, angry and resentful. Just hold on for a few days. No matter what, I will give you your wages. No. Even if you find a stone, you can't work in vain. If you give 50 yuan to each person, such a large amount of money should make you regain your mentality immediately and turn hatred into love.Just keep those few flower stones. Maybe one day someone will take a fancy to them and pay to buy them for you.

I slept soundly until ten o'clock in the morning when Boss Wei shouted in his ear: "Xiao Xing, Xiao Xing, get up quickly, my cousin's phone number is here." I didn't open my eyes.
