Chapter 491
"Sanjiang Hou, I think this place is not bad."
"Hmm, Sanjiang Hou, I think it's okay too."
Great-Grandpa Shan held a shovel, chose many points to dig soil, then pinched the soil inside out and sniffed it carefully in front of his nose.
Liu Jinxia held yellow paper, pointing one here and throwing a string there, muttering words, asking the "little ghosts" around.
Li Sanjiang held an old compass in his right hand, adjusted the direction back and forth, left and right, and did calculations with his left hand, frowning at times and being serious at times.
Among the three, the one with the best style was Li Sanjiang, and the worst was Great-Grandpa Shan, so Li Sanjiang had the most Zhai-sitting business, and Great-Grandpa Shan had the least.
But precisely, when it came to real skills, Great-Grandpa Shan, who could raise Runsheng, was the most powerful among the three, and Li Sanjiang was the one at the bottom.
Li Zhuiyuan stood behind, watching the three old people determine Feng Shui and choose a site for the new kiln factory.
The reason why the young man was called over was not to listen to his opinions, but in Li Sanjiang's vision, everything of his was left to Little Young Master Yuan, including this kiln factory, so the "landlord" Little Young Master Yuan had to be present for the wealth cave to have a fixed number. In short, Li Zhuiyuan was now a mascot required by Great-Grandpa to stand on three large stones piled up.
In fact, there was no Feng Shui treasure land in the natural shape of Siyuan Village.
Applying the current pattern, it could be understood that for the next thirty years, no matter how the surrounding roads were built or industrial zones were developed, it would have nothing to do with this village. It would not face demolition, and the villagers' real estate would remain forever immovable.
Of course, if you look at the thirty-year life span, by then the old house at home is still there, the small bridges and flowing water and farmland are still there, which might not be a greater kind of happiness.
"Then it's here, I'll go talk to the village."
Li Sanjiang made up his mind.
Li Zhuiyuan could finally get down from the stones.
The new kiln factory was located in the northwest of the village, far away from the rows of residential houses, with a river beside it, which could facilitate transport by small boats.
At noon, Li Sanjiang had Auntie Liu prepare a table of small dishes to reward the old partners who came to help him.
While drinking, Great-Grandpa Shan asked Li Sanjiang how big a factory he planned to build. Li Sanjiang waved his hand, saying he didn't know, Little Young Master Yuan would give him the blueprints, anyway, everything was taught in university, and university students knew everything.
It would take some time for this matter to be specifically discussed and confirmed, which was just right for Li Zhuiyuan to take a trip out, clear up the matters at hand, finish the next wave, and when he returned home, the manpower would be complete, and construction could officially start.
Everyone's travel preparations had been made, and the mountaineering bags were all placed in conspicuous positions, ready to be picked up and go out at any time.
Mu Qiuying looked at Chen Xiyuan's mountaineering bag of the same style, a touch of envy appeared in her eyes, and she consciously suppressed this envy.
In the afternoon, they officially set off.
Runsheng shouldered the coffin containing Mu Xueci's remains and walked out of the terrace. For Runsheng, whether there were remains in the coffin couldn't be seen at all from his carrying action.
Li Sanjiang and Great-Grandpa Shan were a bit drunk at noon, and the two old men sat leaning on the terrace, basking in the sun and smoking.
Little Young Master Yuan was going out in the afternoon, Li Sanjiang knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to take Little Young Master Yuan to choose a place in the morning, but seeing Runsheng's actions, he asked curiously:
"Runsheng Hou, you carrying the coffin..."
Beside him, Great-Grandpa Shan rubbed his nose, his eyes revealing contemplation. When he arrived at Sanjiang Hou's house today, he smelled a scent and reminded Sanjiang Hou, but Sanjiang Hou said this was the smoked meat made by Ting Hou, he didn't like this flavor, but the children liked to eat it.
Mu Qiuying walked over and explained to Li Sanjiang, saying that her grandmother had always wanted to prepare a longevity coffin, and when she came here, she saw that the coffin at home was very good, so she wanted to buy it. As she spoke, she took out money and handed it over.
"Own relatives, no need for so much, just collect the cost price."
Li Sanjiang handed the extra money back.
Great-Grandpa Shan asked suspiciously: "Your grandmother, she is still alive."
Li Sanjiang slapped Great-Grandpa Shan on the back of the head and cursed: "Shan Pao, you are really drunk and talking nonsense. Is there anyone who buys a coffin from outside temporarily and pulls it back after someone has passed away?"
Li Zhuiyuan offered incense in the east room and said to Liu Yumei:
"Grandma, I'm leaving."
Liu Yumei: "When you arrive at Qiongya, everything, take yourself as the priority."
He should have added "do not be womanly benevolent," but Liu Yumei felt that this sentence was purely redundant for their own Xiaoyuan.
Li Zhuiyuan: "I will."
The young man held A-Li's hand and came to say goodbye to Great-Grandpa.
Li Sanjiang: "Little Young Master Yuan, you do your work, when you come back, Great-Grandpa's procedures here will also be done, we will open the kiln and build the factory, hehehe, our Little Young Master Yuan will be a little boss in the future."
After Li Zhuiyuan, A-Li, and everyone else left, Great-Grandpa Shan bumped into Li Sanjiang's arm and said:
"Sanjiang Hou, why do I feel that the older you get, the more you can toss things?"
"So what, I can eat and sleep, it's exactly the age to come out and venture to earn family business for the children!"
"How did you scold Han Hou for living for his children all his life before, aren't you the same hanging look now?"
Li Sanjiang used his little finger to dig his ear, then put it in front of him and blew, saying:
"When will your Meng Hou come back?"
"Meng Hou told me on the phone that she is opening a shop over there, saying she wants to earn the money owed to you for building the house and the decoration money, and then come back."
"Really good, the two of them earn enough money together, then come back to get married, exert strength in one place, how much hope there is in life."
"That's it."
"Unlike our family's Little Young Master Yuan, I dream of doing things for him, but the age is not enough, and I can't get a certificate if I go to a public unit, sigh, I can only wait slowly."
Great-Grandpa Shan was silent.
Li Sanjiang: "Hehehe."
Great-Grandpa Shan couldn't help it, glared with drunk red eyes, and reached out to pinch Li Sanjiang's neck.
Arriving at Big Beard's house, the coffin was loaded onto the car. As the fleet boss, He Shen personally helped tie the rope to fix it.
As long as the price is paid and the payment is fast, there is nothing taboo or not taboo.
In this day and age, those who can run long-distance freight, saying they lick blood on the edge of a knife is absolutely an exaggeration, but putting steel pipes, machetes, or even a shotgun under the driver's seat is not strange.
Li Zhuiyuan and Chen Xiyuan walked into the peach forest.
Lin Shu You asked Mu Qiuying: "Aren't you curious about the situation inside?"
Mu Qiuying shook her head: "Places that shouldn't be gone to, don't go."
Lin Shu You: "You are smarter than the three-eyed one."
Deep in the peach forest, by the pool, Qing An was drinking tea while watching the scene of Benben being taught formations by Luo Xiaoyu reflected in the pool.
Qing An put down the teacup and said lightly: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Dig this forest to Qiongya, and the matter will be solved."
Chen Xiyuan: "..."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Not to that extent."
Qing An: "I warn you, I allow you to dig a ditch for this forest is my greatest tolerance, but if you want to dig me to that half-dead, dying place, you try and see."
Li Zhuiyuan: "How is that possible."
Qing An: "Impossible? Heh, people like you, the aversion to risk is engraved in your bones, cutting the grass and removing the roots is your obsession instinct."
Chen Xiyuan picked up the flute, preparing to perform with Qing An one last time before leaving.
Qing An waved his hand: "Wait until you come back, by then your musical style will have a new flavor."
Chen Xiyuan: "Okay."
After saying goodbye to Qing An, the fleet set off, and the journey officially began.
Just after exiting the village road, when driving along the road, Li Zhuiyuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw through the car window that in a residential house on the side of the road not far from Shinan Town, many young people had gathered, among whom were the figures of Shitou and Hu Zi.
Inside, a video game arcade was open.
It wasn't the weekend, and it wasn't school dismissal time; the two boys had skipped class.
Lin Shu You, who was sitting in the passenger seat of another car, smiled: "Brother Bin, aren't those Brother Xiaoyuan's two younger brothers?"
Tan Wenbin, who was driving, scanned it and smiled: "This is youth, I also loved playing like this back then."
Lin Shu You: "I didn't have this opportunity when I was in school, I had to return to the temple to practice martial arts and perform Qiji after school."
Tan Wenbin took out a mobile phone and dialed the number of Auntie Zhang Shen's small shop. Auntie Zhang Shen, who received the call, would go to the door of Li Weihan and the two children's house and sing folk songs.
Lin Shu You: "Brother Bin, what are you doing, didn't you say this is youth?"
Tan Wenbin: "Hmm, I'm making their youth more complete."
The fleet arrived at the periphery of the Listening Wind Gorge. Walking inside, not only was there no road, but even the village couldn't be seen.
The driver and the truck waited on the spot. Runsheng shouldered the coffin, and after everyone got out of the car, they walked inside on foot.
Not long after walking, at a corner, they saw Mu Qiaosheng standing there waiting quietly.
His gaze first fell on that coffin, tears welled up in his eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he then cast his gaze on Li Zhuiyuan and slowly knelt down.
"Mu Qiaosheng, pays respects to the family head."
Li Zhuiyuan glanced at Tan Wenbin. Tan Wenbin understood and signaled Runsheng and Mu Qiuying to follow him and continue walking forward.
Next, Tan Wenbin would represent Li Zhuiyuan to go to Mu Family Village to make future arrangements.
Actually, if it wasn't to take what Grandma Liu might have left for him here, Li Zhuiyuan wouldn't have specifically made this trip to Mu Family Village.
His relationship network construction was currently limited to Mu Qiuying alone, among which the factor that Mu Qiuying was still on the river accounted for at least half the weight.
Either incomparably loyal and following to the death, or mastering the vital points and having huge value. Unfortunately, the current Mu Family Village didn't occupy either.
Reasonably and emotionally, Li Zhuiyuan had no need to perform any courtesy to the virtuous at this time.
Doing so would only make the outer gates that mastered great value raise their asking prices, and would make the loyal outer gates that had lived difficult lives over the past years feel cold and unfair.
Mu Qiaosheng obviously realized this point too. After Tan Wenbin approached, he didn't put on a posture of having to plead guilty, but stood up and introduced the current situation of the village to Tan Wenbin while leading the way.
After they walked far away, Li Zhuiyuan and A-Li walked to a towering building.
Lin Shu You: "So ugly and so majestic."
Ugly is true, although it hadn't been built long, the weathering feeling was severe, mainly because the insect shells on top were cracked one by one, revealing the undigested bones and flesh inside, giving people an extremely strong claustrophobic experience.
But precisely because you know what it is, when looking at it, a sense of awe would also arise spontaneously.
Liu Yi had artistic standards. This was discovered when Li Zhuiyuan first came to Great-Grandpa's house and saw Liu Yi's action of coloring paper figures.
The purpose was to make people feel scared, so don't care about any aesthetic details. The more the details were unbearable to look at, the more it could highlight the overall oppression.
Chen Xiyuan: "This is... Sister's handwriting?"
She found it hard to imagine that Liu Yi, who cooked delicious food, was gentle, and liked to crack melon seeds with her, actually had this side.
Li Zhuiyuan: "One side is left for the family, one side is left for the enemies."
Chen Xiyuan took a breath and licked her lips.
Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm not pointing at you, I will say directly whatever I want to say to you."
Chen Xiyuan: "I'm curious, so many insects, where does Sister usually raise them?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "Usually only the mother insect is kept. When needed, give the mother insect time in advance to lay eggs and hatch."
Chen Xiyuan: "Is this in time?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "As long as there are enough 'nutrients' nearby for the mother insect to hatch, it won't take too long."
Therefore, Liu Yi's characteristic is that she is not suitable for fighting alone, but there shouldn't be any force willing to provoke an enemy like Liu Yi.
Everyone camped on the spot, and Lin Shu You set up the tent.
After a while, Mu Qiuying and Runsheng each came back carrying a sack.
One bag contained rhinoceros horns, the horns were very long and large, and the other bag contained a fat ladybug, still struggling and squirming.
A-Li was very interested in the rhinoceros horns. The horns of the thunder beast, ground into powder, were excellent materials for making thunder talismans.
Of course, this was also absolutely a luxurious act. I'm afraid even the Ling family, who raised thunder beasts, wouldn't be willing to be so extravagant.
The Ling family recycled them, only putting them back into the thunder pool to be decomposed by thunder power, paving the way for the growth of young thunder beasts. As for taking horns to make talismans, it was about the same as killing the chicken to get the eggs.
However, with it, and visibly there were a large number waiting to be dug in the mountains, this was enough to make up for the lack of aggressive thunder talismans in the team's equipment.
A-Li had the ability to draw high-level thunder talismans. One or two might not count for much, but what about a large quantity?
Moreover, when the quantity reached a certain level, the effect usage pattern could also be opened. For example, when facing ghost miasma, scattering a large pile of thunder talismans would ensure the evil atmosphere would disappear.
Li Zhuiyuan discovered that the sky above this area was much clearer and cleaner than the outside world, which should be because someone had scattered purple talismans all over the sky in a more exaggerated and precious way.
Here, the only one who could do such "extravagant waste" was Grandma Liu.
In other words, if he followed the normal process and could actively control the rhythm of lighting the lamp and walking the river, Grandma Liu, who was poor only in foundation, would inevitably divide for him a more exaggerated and terrifying "property."
Even the caves of Chen Xiyuan and Ling Wuxing, who were also Dragon King gates, could only be called small crickets compared to his.
Li Zhuiyuan asked Mu Qiuying: "Is this a specialty of your village?"
Mu Qiuying nodded: "Yes."
Li Zhuiyuan: "What effect does it have?"
Mu Qiuying: "Can treat... rheumatism?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "Great-Grandpa is old. Although he is currently free of illness and pain, I have to consider him when he is older. How about this, this kind of thing, I will collect as many as your village has. You go and calculate the acquisition price with Tan Wenbin."
Mu Qiuying: "Okay."
Li Zhuiyuan reached his hand toward the big ladybug. The ladybug's mouthparts opened and closed rapidly, as if wanting to resist.
The young man withdrew his hand and said to himself: "Hungry, let's cook something."
After finishing, the young man waved his hand, releasing karmic fire to burn the firewood piled up by A-You.
A-Li walked over, took the sack from Runsheng's hand, and the girl carried it with both hands.
Li Zhuiyuan: "A-Li, be careful, don't let the sack touch the karmic fire, it's easy to catch fire."
Hearing this, A-Li accidentally let go of her hand, and the sack fell into the fire pile.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."
The big ladybug was roasted by the karmic fire, its belly expanded rapidly and cracked.
Immediately, a black shadow darted out.
Liu Yi had done psychological counseling before death for every Ming family member.
Besides venting their long-accumulated anger, it also ensured that when the soul of every Ming family madman darted out, its form was more evil than an evil ghost.
Li Zhuiyuan reached out and grabbed forward. This "evil ghost" was detained in the young man's palm.
The fingertips squeezed inward, and the "evil ghost" was constantly compressed and ravaged.
This should have been a very normal operation for the young man; no one would think that the young man couldn't control this thing.
But an accident... still happened.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Fingers cramped."
