Chapter 1037

Ye Yaodong followed behind the two dogs to the very middle of the beach. This small area had a pile of rubble, all stones, and the surroundings were all sand. If he continued to the far left of the beach, the area under the Mazu Temple was a large stretch of mudflats.

The beach now is still very natural, dirty, messy, and poor. The garbage of the whole village is thrown to the beach, and there is all kinds of junk on the beach. At this time, when the tide recedes, many wild dogs also run to the beach to forage.

Except for this pile of rubble, there are also small puddles nearby, with stones of all sizes.

They are used to digging for sand clams under the fine, soft sand. It just so happens that A Qing brings the children, and the children like to play in the sand. Of course, they are also taken to a cleaner and finer location to play.

So the position he walked out to now is more than 100 meters away from them, which is not close at all. The beach on this side of his house is not small when the tide is completely receded.

It is still several hundred meters away from the lowest point of the tide.

"Is it here?"

Ye Yaodong squatted down directly with a bucket in one hand and the snail fossil from just now in the other, and casually placed the snail fossil into a pile of stones to compare.

"It is indeed very conspicuous. No wonder you held this stone in your mouth and brought it back. Is it because you think it looks good?"

The spotted dog barked twice, picked up the stone again, held it in its mouth, and then spat it into the bucket, exceptionally persistent, wanting him to take it back.

"You also think this is a treasure, don't you?"

The dog ignored him, but turned around on the side, and shook the fur on its body every few steps.

Xiao Hei was still squatting by his side as usual.

He patted the dog's head, "Go, you also go and find some for me, remember, just find stones with this texture."

After Xiao Hei barked, it also started running around nearby.

Ye Yaodong continued to take the snail fossil out of the bucket, played with it in his hand, and also scanned the surroundings.

The morning sun felt warm. One spring rain brings one warmth. The morning after the rain felt much fresher. Although the smell of the sea was still in the air, the sea breeze blowing by had become warmer, not as chilly as the past two days.

The past two days were so cold that he felt like he was going to freeze to death in spring, especially the night before he caught a cold.

He kicked and dragged in the rubble, but didn't see the same stone again, but he found a lot of mudskippers, which was enough to cook a handful of salted vegetables for lunch.

No wonder his grandfather didn't leave after begging to the seaside. There was really something to eat. Just picking it up casually was enough to fill his stomach.

At this time, Xiao Hei trotted to his side and rubbed against the bucket in his hand. He hurriedly lowered the bucket, "What did you find?"

Xiao Hei opened its mouth, and with a clatter, a pitch-black pebble fell into the bucket.

Ye Yaodong thought there was another harvest, but upon closer inspection, it was just an ordinary pebble. He was afraid that he had misjudged it, so he turned it over and over twice, shone it under the sunlight, and then tapped the dog's head with the stone.

"Don't pick up every piece of junk. Go, go, I only want stones with many patterns."

After Xiao Hei whimpered, it turned its head and started turning around nearby.

When he turned his head and intended to continue searching, the spotted dog also ran to his side, but it was holding a liberation shoe full of holes in its mouth.

Ye Yaodong kicked it aside with one foot, "What you brought back is not as good as a broken stone. Go aside, I don't want broken shoes."

After the shoe in the spotted dog's mouth was kicked away by him, it was relentless, picked it up again, but ran directly home.

"Stupid dog, I thought you were smart just now. It seems I can only rely on myself."

Ye Yaodong looked for fish while looking for stones, picking up whatever he found. It was lucky that he picked up half a bucket of mudskippers.

Just when he felt his waist and neck were sore and intended to go home, he heard a burst of dog barking.

Forty or fifty meters away, Xiao Hei was scolding a group of children there. The children didn't know what they were doing kicking it. Seeing this, he immediately walked forward.

But the spotted dog arrived faster than him. It galloped from behind, ran past him, jumped onto a child, and bit his cotton-padded jacket, scaring the child into crying loudly and shaking his arms continuously.

"Go away, 5555~ go away~ smelly dog~"

"Xiao Hua, Xiao Hei, come back."

After he shouted, the two dogs reluctantly retreated directly from the pile of children, barked twice, and then ran to his feet.

"What's wrong? Why did you fight with the children?"

The group of children accused, "It wanted to steal our stones, so we hit it."

"What stones?"

Ye Yaodong walked closer and looked, and immediately widened his eyes. The snail fossils he had been looking for for a long time, there was actually a small pile here?

And they were of different shapes, some looked like stones, and some were shaped like snails.

The sea snail shapes were particularly easy to identify, and one of them was actually as big as Ye Xiaoxi's face.

"It's these stones. This smelly dog ran over and wanted to bite my stones, so I hit it. I thought it was a wild dog."

Children are naturally afraid of adults. After seeing that this was a dog with an owner, they were also a little scared, but still said boldly.

"Are these the stones you just picked up?"

"Yes, we saw that these stones looked different, but they all had patterns, so we picked up a pile and put it here to play."

He squatted down with a face full of surprise, picked up one of the pile of stones of all sizes on the ground and looked at it carefully. Basically, they were all bigger than his fist, and the small ones were at least the size of an infant's fist. The one in his bucket was the smallest.

After looking at several of them back and forth, he was sure they were all snail fossils.

It's a pity that this is the same as gambling on stones. Without opening them, you don't know if there are crystals inside, and it's the same as opening top-tier jade, the probability is extremely low, but this raw stone is also worth some money, mainly because it is also quite good-looking.

The children looked at him touching and looking, and were also a little at a loss.

The biggest child looked as big as Ye Chenghu, and he said boldly: "This is what we picked up, it's ours, you can't take it."

Others also hurriedly followed suit and nodded.

Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile, "Can I buy them from you?"

A group of children looked at him in surprise.

"Ah, do you want to buy stones?"

"What are you buying stones for?"

"Then are you selling or not?"

"Sell! Sell! Sell!" Everyone said excitedly in unison.

Only a fool wouldn't sell. They just picked up stones with patterns to play with, not expecting that an adult would want to buy them.

Ye Yaodong touched his pocket and took out a few small bills and a few coins. This was the change left over from going to town to buy things two days ago. Large amounts were put in the drawer, and small change was put in the pocket.

He counted the heads, 6 of them, big and small, not yet of age. Thinking that giving one dime each was a bit too much, except for his own family, no other child had so much money in their hands. Taking too much would easily cause trouble for himself.

If the children went home and said something, the adults might think it was some rare object that he had deceived them with.

"5 cents each, here is 30 cents, you divide it yourselves, and then this pile of stones belongs to me."

Everyone's eyes were instantly brighter than the stars in the sky, and they were excited.

"Really? Are you really giving us 5 cents each?"

"Uncle, you're not lying to us, are you?"

"Really, take it and divide it. If you pick up stones with this texture again in the future, and they look like sea snails, bring them to my house, and I will buy them from you. I live by the seaside, the one with a wall built at the door, with a courtyard."

The biggest child took the money in his hand and said happily: "I know, you are my father's friend."

"Ah?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the biggest child in a daze. Upon closer inspection, he really looked familiar. Isn't this the second child of Haozi's family? I remember his name seems to be Chen Jianxing.

In his previous life, he often saw what this child looked like when he grew up, but he didn't recognize what he looked like when he was a child.

Now upon closer inspection, there are faint traces of Haozi's wife. The son looks like the mother. After being reborn, he didn't have much contact, and he hadn't seen his son, so he really didn't recognize him at once.

Isn't this child as old as Ye Chenghu? Why hasn't he gone to school yet? Still staying at home to play?

"Uncle, what are you taking these stones for?"

"I'm the same as you, I think these stones look good, so I want to take them back to play with."

"I have more at home, do you want them? I have several more at home. My mother used a big and flat one to prop up the table leg. It's as big as the biggest one here. There is also a big one on the window at the door that looks more like a stone. I usually use it to knock on snails to feed the ducks." Chen Jianxing said with shining eyes and expectation.

"That's fine, if you take the stone your mother used to prop up the table leg to me, will she hit you?"

"I'll just pick up another one and replace it."

"Okay, take all the ones in your house to me, and I'll give you another 10 cents. Don't let your mother know, otherwise, your money won't be kept."

He nodded happily, "I know."

Ye Yaodong looked at the other children who had divided the money and had bright smiles on their faces, "Do you have any at home? If you do, you can also bring them to me to exchange for money."

Everyone shook their heads, looking regretful, "No."

"Then forget it, then I'll take these away."

"Hmm, you take them away."

Ye Yaodong harvested a pile of stones and happily greeted the two dogs to go home.

The bucket became heavy with a pile of stones. Afraid of crushing those mudskippers, he specifically tilted the bucket before slowly putting the stones in. He held the biggest one in his hand.

When he arrived home, A Qing hadn't returned with the two children. He couldn't take care of the mother and children for a while. As soon as he got home, he took out the stones in the bucket to study them first.

The old lady was sitting at the door sunning herself, looking curious.

"What kind of stones did you pick up so many of?"

"Do you know about snail fossils?"

"What is a snail fossil? Is it the spots on this?" The old lady didn't wear reading glasses and didn't look carefully.

"No, forget it if you don't know."

"What did you pick these back for? Does our family have any table legs that need propping? You picked up so many big and small ones."

"They look quite good, so I picked them up to play with."

The old lady didn't bother him after hearing him say he picked them up to play. Instead, she stretched her neck to look at the goods in the bucket. After seeing that there were many mudskippers, she went into the house to get scissors, preparing to help kill them.

Ye Yaodong sat at the door of his house playing with these stones and felt quite novel. He didn't recognize them before, all thanks to short videos. He is a seaside person, and when he sees some strange things in the sea, he will stay for a few seconds.

Big data dynamics, and then videos of these strange things will be pushed, which makes him know a little more.

Otherwise, how would he know what these stones at the door are useful for and what is peculiar about them.

If these stones were sold directly as raw stones, in the future, the small ones should be worth hundreds of yuan, and the big ones might be worth a thousand yuan.

This is not important. The important thing is that there might be surprises. Although the probability is quite low, such a small pile, even if nothing is opened, can be worth a lot of money.

No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are meat. You can't look down on these things that can be worth hundreds or thousands of yuan in the future just because you are making money now. There are so many here, combined, they should be worth several thousand, ten thousand yuan.

Besides, everyone has a gambler's mentality, what if.

He touched the middle of his forehead. It's a pity, why didn't he get a third eye or something in this life? Otherwise, he could distinguish them at a glance!

Then go straight to XJ Myanmar, eat well and drink well, and don't have to fish bitterly.

"Hahaha~"

After he laughed loudly, he collected himself again and shook his head. If he really got a third eye, he probably wouldn't live for a year.

"Why are you laughing like this all of a sudden, child?" The old lady put down the scissors in a daze and touched his forehead, "You don't have a fever either."

"I'm fine, I just thought of something funny."

"It's good that you don't have a fever."

After the old lady was relieved, she continued to pick up the scissors to kill the fish.

Ye Yaodong played with the pile of stones for a while, waiting for Haozi's son to send him two more big stones.

It's just that he didn't wait for the son, but even the man's wife came.

As soon as she entered the door, the smelly woman pushed her son and scolded.

"Take back the stones you just picked up. These stones don't look ordinary. You sold them for 5 cents. I'll peel your skin off. Hurry up and take them back for me."

The two dogs in the courtyard immediately barked at them, and Haozi's wife kicked her son while pushing him and scolding.

"I told you to go in and get them, standing here like a wooden stake, do you want to get me killed?"

Chen Jianxing still had tears on his eyes, lowered his head and walked to his side, "Sorry Uncle, my mother said these stones are valuable, let me take them home, not selling them anymore."

"That's fine, I just gave you 30 cents, then you take out 30 cents and return it to me, and I will return the stones to you."

Before Chen Jianxing could speak, his mother immediately rushed up noisily.

"What kind of rotten stones actually want 30 cents from me? Are you crazy about money?"

Ye Yaodong stood up with his arms crossed and smiled coldly, "Didn't you just say these stones are valuable? Now you say they are rotten stones not worth 30 cents? I just spent 30 cents to buy them. If you want them, then bring 30 cents, and I will give them to you. I don't care. I originally saw that they looked good, so I bought them back to play with. Who told me to have money."

"Having money is amazing, I said these stones look so good, they are worth more than 30 cents, you deceived the child, and sold them to you for 30 cents..."

"He sold, I bought, both sides are willing. If you regret it and think these stones are more valuable, then give me the money, and I'll return them to you. I didn't say I wouldn't return them. You accepted my money, so you have to return it to me."

"Who took your 30 cents, my son said it was only 5 cents."

"That's because this pile of stones was picked up by 6 children. I gave 30 cents and let them divide it among the 6 of them, so it was 5 cents each. Now you want to buy the stones back, then you must give me 30 cents, because I bought this pile for 30 cents."

Haozi's wife was blocked back, and didn't know what to say. It was definitely impossible to let her pay, and she didn't come to buy stones.

She simply grabbed her son's ear and lifted him up, "Who told you to sell? This pile of stones is clearly worth 30 yuan, who told you to sell it for 30 cents?"

Chen Jianxing immediately covered his ears and cried, "I don't know, you clearly used it to prop up the table leg..."

"Nonsense, I clearly kept that stone well in the cabinet. I just suspected it when I saw you steal my stone, and then I knew you sold this pile of stones for 5 cents."

Ye Yaodong looked at the smelly woman acting expressionlessly, and his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law next door had already been attracted by the movement in his courtyard.

Other neighbors were a bit far away, and it didn't affect the surroundings for a while.

"What stones?"

"What is this for?"

The two sisters-in-law asked curiously.

Haozi's wife lied with her eyes open, "Adong relies on being an adult to bully children. This pile of such good stones, he bought them from my son for 5 cents. I specifically came to ask for them."

Ye Yaodong corrected her, "It's 30 cents, not 5 cents. This pile of stones is not just your son's, but picked up by many children together. I saw that I liked them, so I gave them 5 cents each to buy candy, and exchanged for these stones."

"I don't care if it's 5 yuan or 30 cents, these stones are just not worth this value. I heard people say that these stones look good and are valuable. This pile is worth 30 yuan. You have to make up the difference for me, otherwise you return these to me."

Both sisters-in-law were so surprised that they almost popped their eyes out.

"What kind of stones are so valuable?"

"Do you think it's jade or gemstone? Robbing money is not like this either. With a touch of the upper and lower lips, you say how much it is. Even robbers don't rely on a mouth. The God of Wealth is not as powerful as you, and can even say stones are gold." Ye second sister-in-law opened her mouth and sarcastically said.

Ye sister-in-law also sneered, "Crazy about money? A few stones and you say 30 yuan. Shall I go to the seaside and pick a few to sell to you?"

"Didn't you see the patterns on these stones look so unusual? It's not an ordinary stone. This pile is worth 30 yuan. You can't bully children for being young and not knowing the goods, and buy them for 30 cents."

"I didn't bully children for being young and not knowing the goods. If you are not happy, take them back. Give me the 30 cents, and I didn't say I wouldn't return them."

Ye sister-in-law was very happy, "You are looking at Adong giving money to children to buy candy, so you think these stones are valuable, so you are blackmailing him? Even if it grows a flower, it's still a stone. Tell me, besides propping up the table leg, what else can this stone do?"

"It can also hit people." The old lady knocked on the stool next to Ye Yaodong with a cane and complained, "Picking up a pile of broken stones for no reason, causing a lot of trouble. Return them to her quickly. Just take the 30 cents back and you can buy two bottles of soy sauce."

"I also want to return them to her, I don't want them anymore. I don't know where the fool came from. Being stupid yourself, and treating others as fools? Telling people that this pile of broken stones can sell for 30 yuan, it makes people laugh their teeth off."

After Ye Yaodong finished talking to the old lady, he glared at Haozi's wife again, "Hurry up and give me 30 cents and take them away. You keep this thing worth 30 yuan and save it yourself."

Haozi's wife wouldn't pay the 30 cents. She was a little bit riding a tiger and patted her son again, "Who told you to sell? Clearly only gave you 5 cents, and want me to take 30 cents to exchange, why?"

Her son was beaten continuously, and was also annoyed and hid to the side, "Clearly useless stones, you insisted on saying he bought them, then they must be valuable, so you want compensation."

After speaking, he hurriedly ran away.

"You come back for me? See if I don't peel your skin when I go back."

Ye Yaodong stood on the steps, looking down from above, "Do you still want these stones?"

Haozi's wife touched her pocket, took out one the size of an adult's fist and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "I have one this big here, do you want it? If you want it, I'll sell it to you. I have a bigger one at home. My son went back and stole it earlier. I caught him and he said you wanted to buy it, so he specifically stole it from me and wanted to send it over."

"If you want to buy this stone, just tell me, why bully the child for not knowing anything, and coax him to steal things from home..."

"Wait, wait, wait... I didn't coax him to steal things from home. I just think these stones look different and look good, so I gave them a few cents to buy candy and exchanged for this pile of stones. It was him who said he had more at home and wanted to send them to me to exchange for candy. Don't confuse black and white."

"Then it is a fact that he stole things from home and wanted to send them to you. If you want it, just tell me directly..."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, waved his hand impatiently to drive her away, "I don't want it anymore, you hurry up and get out. Who cares about your broken stones? If you don't take 30 cents to redeem that pile of stones, then get out for me. I don't have time to argue with you here."

"No, it's fine to sell it to you cheaper..."

"Don't want it anymore."

"Then you return the pile of stones to me, my son is ignorant..."

"Damn, can't you understand human language? I can return them to you, then you take the money. I bought them with money. You want me to return them to you with empty words. Where did you get the face? Is your face inlaid with gold, or is your mouth inlaid with gold?"

"It was clearly you who bullied the child for being ignorant and let him steal things from his family for you..."

"I don't care about your broken stones, take your broken stones and get out." Ye Yaodong was annoyed by this woman. Why didn't the divorce succeed?

Ye sister-in-law and Ye second sister-in-law also helped push her out, pushing her to stumble a bit.

Until she was pushed out of the door, she saw Haozi coming in a hurry, and immediately scolded him, "Did you see? This is your friend, coaxing the child to steal things from home for him, and even drove me out..."

Haozi slapped her directly, "Losing face outside, are you embarrassed? Can you have some face?"

Haozi's wife was instantly furious, rushed up and scratched him, "I don't have face, how do I not have face? Do you think you have a lot of face? Still a friend, I spit, it's funny, believe it or not, I will shake out what you did?"

"You crazy woman, you haven't gone crazy enough at home, and you've gone crazy outside. Do you want to die?"

"You are the one who wants to die, if you want to die, you die first..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the two people fighting at his door in a daze.

Ye sister-in-law and Ye second sister-in-law also hurriedly went up to persuade them not to fight. Sarcasm and quarreling were one thing, but it was another thing for the couple to really fight. They should scold what should be scolded, and pull the fight that should be pulled.

The surrounding neighbors, hearing the movement at the door, also ran out to watch, and also helped pull the fight.

"Everything is fine, why are you fighting? And fighting here?"
