52. If you have money, you can't dig graves......
On the winding mountain road, several figures loom among the lush trees.
An old man pushed his cart and ran over the dirt road steadily. He has walked this road many times, and he will not get lost even with his eyes closed.
Yingzi quietly glanced at the beautiful big sister beside her, and secretly envied her heart.
"Do you usually go to the county seat like this?" Nine days looked around, full of ravines, surrounded by barren mountains, and yellow-brown rocks everywhere, revealing a sense of desolation.
An old man in his sixties, pushing a cart full of apples, walked ten miles to the county seat. The hardships are not for outsiders.
Lao Liu was a little restrained, when he was selling apples in the morning, two strange guests came, and they didn't buy anything, just watched from the sidelines. When he finished selling the apples, he said that he wanted to go back to the village with him to have a look.
What is there to see in the village? Lao Liu did not understand. In my small village, there are only about a dozen families, all of which are earthen houses. There is not much to see around.
However, Lao Liu is not very good at refusing people, although he is a little embarrassed, but he still agrees. There was nothing in the village, and the two young men probably wouldn't stay long.
Hua Bai saw Yingzi's dodging gaze and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Yingzi's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly turned her head, not daring to look at it again.
"Are you saying that apples didn't change much last year, and this year they suddenly look good and tasty?" asked Jiutian.
"yes. The two apple trees in the courtyard are more than 20 years old. In the past, they used to eat together with the big guys in their own village, and they didn't want to sell it for money. But this year's apples taste particularly good and look good. Everyone in the village asked the old man not to send it anymore and take it to the county town for some money. Wait to save some money and send Yingzi to school next year. Yingzi is still young, and he can't delay his life in this small place. Lao Liu smiled, his face full of joy.
These apples sold surprisingly well, and today was the last car. In the past few days, only apples have been sold, and Lao Liu has sold them for 2,000 yuan. That's a lot of money for him.
"Grandpa doesn't want Yingzi, Yingzi doesn't want to go to school!" Yingzi panicked, she knew that going to school meant leaving her grandfather's side, which was bad news for her.
"Nonsense. If you don't go to school, will you stay in this small place for the rest of your life? Look at these two older brothers and sisters next to you. Don't you want to wear nice clothes like them?" Lao Liu's nose was sour, but his eyes still widened.
Jiutian didn't speak, and his heart was slightly bitter. This is inevitable in any era. Some people are rich, some are poor. He is not a saint and cannot solve these social problems. He may be able to pay for Yingzi, but how many can he help?
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Jiutian has some thoughts in his heart, but he can't say them yet, and he needs to wait until he arrives in the village to see it.
The ten-mile mountain road soon came to an end, and a village in the mountains jumped into front of everyone. Several earthen houses sit on the large land in front of them. Some free-range chickens and ducks are slowly swaying on the grass.
"Yo, Lao Liu is back. Did I buy the salt you carried?" a village woman saw the cart through the window, ran out with a spatula.
"Brought it. There is also the oil of Lao Zhang's family and the cloth of Lao Li's family, all bought. But you'll help me deliver them to these guys, and I still have guests here." Lao Liu nodded and directly put the cart at the door of the village woman's house. Anyway, the village is so big, it's the same everywhere, and you can't lose it.
"Okay, okay, leave it to me. This girl is so handsome, and she looks like a city person. The village woman nodded, curiously striking at the two strangers.
"Auntie, is your dish still in the pot?" asked Yingzi suddenly.
"Ouch, I almost forgot!" the village woman panicked, picked up the spatula and ran back.
Lao Liu's house is in the east of the village, and it is also a mud house. Behind the earthen house was a courtyard walled by a wooden fence, in which seven or eight chickens were kept, and two apple trees.
The trees are now clean, and there is not a single apple left.
"Old man, I'll take a look in your yard. Jiutian said hello and went straight into the courtyard.
These two apple trees are growing very well, with verdant green leaves and lush foliage. When you get closer, you can still smell a faint fruity aroma.
Jiutian touched it, and information immediately appeared in his mind.
[Plant name]: Apple tree
[Status]: Excellent.
[Growth stage]: Mature stage.
[Judgment]: vigorous growth, no pests and diseases.
[Gain]: Infiltrated by the yellow water of the underground pool, it has an optimized effect on the plants.
Sure enough, it was Chi Huangshui! Jiutian took a deep breath, knowing that his mission this time was almost completed. However, he opened the system and found that the task had not changed to a completed state.
"System, what's going on?" Nine Heavens called the system in his heart.
"The host needs to take a liter of yellow water from the pond and send it to the plantation to complete the task. The system said.
Nine days was stunned, that is to say, he had to pout this piece of land and dig out the pond of yellow water. However, he had expected that the task would not be so easy. If it's in the middle of nowhere, he probably doesn't have a good solution.
But since it's in the village, it's easier to do.
"What, you're going to dig up my yard?" I never thought that this young man would go out for a walk and come back to dig his yard. Now those two apple trees are his treasures, and he is counting on apples to make money.
"Hey, Lao Liu, you dig me for nothing. Do you know that there is a treasure mountain hidden in your yard? If you dig it out, let alone two apple trees, 10,000 will not be a problem. "Nine days of crying and laughing.
"Don't tease me. I've lived here for decades, old man, and there's something in the yard. Of course, Lao Liu didn't believe it, and shook his head vigorously.
"Listen to me. I won't dig you up in vain in this yard. Well, I'll put a million cash on you. If the dug up has no value, the money is yours. If there is, you give me back the money. This underground thing is enough for you and Yingzi to be fed and clothed in this life. ”
One million?! Lao Liu trembled when he heard this number. Two thousand yuan can make him happy for a month, and he has no concept of one million, he only knows that it is a lot of money.
Seeing that Lao Liu began to hesitate, Jiutian didn't plan to wait. I made a direct call to the High Court.
"Lao Gao, do me a favor. I'll transfer you a million now. You buy a box tomorrow and drive to the location I told you with the cash. Then buy me some shovels, and the pickaxes must be strong and durable. I'm useful, it's fast. ”
Gao Ting on the other end of the phone was also stunned. After listening to the location of Jiutian again, he probably had the impression of a wilderness in his head.
"I said, "Nine days...... digging people's graves...... But there will be retribution...... You can't even have money......"
Jiutian's egg hurts suddenly, I'll dig your mother's grave?
