Although Luo Xuan believes that with his own diligence and his own mind, he may be able to survive even in difficult times.
But without the blessing of space, how can I take good care of Xiaocao and those people who are worthy of my help?
So this space is really important to me!
In addition, the power of space has just become apparent now, so it's just... gone?
That would be too cruel.
The cruelest thing in the world is not to completely cut off hope. But when you just saw a little bit of hope, it was shattered before your eyes...
Shocked to realize that there was an abnormality in the space, Luo Xuan was so panicked that he didn't even bother to put the thing in his hand into the space. He quickly used his mind to leave the space again and returned to the creek to think hard about the reason.
"Huh?"
At this time, the cuckoo in the distance exclaimed: "Why do I suddenly feel a little dizzy?"
She stretched out a hand, covered her forehead and murmured to herself: "Did I bend over for too long? Why did I feel like I was in a trance just now?"
Du Juan also felt in a trance?
Luo Xuan guessed in his heart: Maybe when he flashed into the space just now, an unknown malfunction occurred in the space in his mind.
Therefore, two parallel spaces inside and outside were triggered, both of which were distorted and deformed at the same time in an instant.
It is just the space in the mind that causes the distortion of external time and space, which may be limited to the small environment near oneself, but cannot affect the larger external environment.
Standing in the water, Luo Xuan's brain was running at high speed, and he carefully analyzed what was the reason that caused the oscillation in the space?
Is it a program glitch?
Rejection reaction?
In order to prove his guess, Luo Xuan used his thoughts many times and repeatedly entered the space...
What is surprising is that every time I enter the space, it is still extremely unsmooth!
It’s not as smooth and natural as when I carried items into the space before!
What is the reason??!
Luo Xuan stood in the water and thought hard about the reason.
The one most closely connected with the space in my mind undoubtedly ranks first.
Then......
jade?!!
Last time, when I met the little jade in Chen Xiaoduan's hand in the frog market, the space in my mind was a little strange.
This time, since the space behaves very abnormally...
Then it is very possible that there are large pieces of jade around!
Thinking of this, Luo Xuan put the sack in his hand on the stone, pressed the opening with a small stone, then got up and walked to the bank of the stream.
There is a relatively steep slope on one side of the creek, where there are dense bamboo forests and lush trees. Pedestrians would not choose to go that way.
So Luo Xuan walked towards the other side of the river where the terrain was a little gentler and more open.
Seeing this, Du Juan turned around and asked, "Luo Xuan, why are you going?"
Luo Xuan said without looking back: "Don't worry about it, I'll go there for a while."
As he said that, Luo Xuan's figure had disappeared into the grass on the riverside.
Luo Xuan entered the grass and woods, looking for jade according to the degree of strange reactions in the space.
As long as the reaction of the space is greater, it means that the jade is closer to you!
After searching carefully in the woods and grass for a long time, Luo Xuan finally felt the intense reaction of space next to a huge boulder under a cliff.
Pulling away the weeds on a small slope covered with kudzu and rocks, the feeling of space became even more intense.
After Luo Xuan dug into the soil with a hatchet for a while, a long, soft yellow jade with a carrot pattern revealed half of its figure in the soil.
Taking it out carefully, Luo Xuan first wiped off the mud on the jade with weeds, and then wiped the jade clean with his sleeves.
Take a closer look.
This rectangular Tianhuang stone turned out to be a personal seal.
I saw the words "Yashizhai Fang Jianru's Seal" engraved on its bottom.
Luo Xuan took the seal and brought it into the space. He didn't bother to observe the changes in the space, and Luo Xuan returned to the same place.
According to my own guess, the piece of jade just now should have belonged to the private seal of an antique shop owner before liberation.
In the years before liberation, the bandits in Xiaolaojun were dealt with very hard, making it difficult to cash in the "goods" they robbed.
Perhaps the owner of this company, called "Ya Shi Zhai", took a huge risk to go into the mountains, hoping to make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, the owner ended up dying here.
The reason why it is inferred that the guy named "Fang Jianru" died here is because Luo Xuan knew that since ancient times, private seals have been kept very carefully, and they are usually kept secret by their owners or carried with them.
So since a seal can be found here, most likely the owner of this seal is not far away.
Think of this.
Luo Xuan used the hatchet in his hand to split open the weeds at the bottom of the cliff. This area looked like it had collapsed in the past, and he searched carefully.
Not a few times.
After the weeds were split, a few bones and some decayed cloth remnants were revealed in the soil.
Judging from the palm bones and leg bones scattered in the soil, it seems that there were at least two people buried here by the landslide.
The reason why these bones are in such a messy state is probably because they were people who suffered a landslide and were devoured by wild beasts in the mountains after their death.
As for these broken pieces of cloth, Luo Xuan speculated that they should be furoshiki used to carry things.
Because Luo Xuan saw a few "Yuan Datou" coins scattered around the scraps of cloth, as well as some green copper coins.
"What are you looking at?"
While Luo Xuan was in a daze, Du Juan's voice sounded from behind him, "Huh? Why are there silver coins and copper coins here?"
It has only been a few years since liberation.
Du Juan, who is 16 years old this year, also recognizes silver coins and copper coins.
"No, it's nothing."
Luo Xuan replied calmly: "You came just in time, then help cover this unfortunate guy with a layer of soil to prevent these bones from being picked up by wild beasts."
Du Juan looked at the silver coins in the soil, and then took a deep look at Luo Xuan.
Then he silently bent down, helped get some soil, and buried all the silver coins and bones.
The two of them only focused on burying the bones, but no one took away the silver coins in the soil.
In Luo Xuan's heart, he really didn't want this kind of treasure: if he didn't tell anyone, it wouldn't be of any help to him in the next goal he wanted to achieve.
During this period, even if anyone had gold bars or silver coins, there was no place to cash them out.
The only place where you can legally take action is on foot.
But in this era, it is very taboo for everyone to talk about the words "buy" and "sell".
Even if some people take the "yellow croaker" and "Yuan Datou" in their hands and sell them in the pedestrian street, it can only be called "donation".
The small amount of compensation given by the People's Bank of China can only be called a "reward".
As the old saying goes, 'Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade'.
Luo Xuan didn't want to go to the pedestrian bank to register information for a long time and clearly explain the source of these things to the cadres.
Therefore, Luo Xuan was not interested in those silver coins at all.
However, Luo Xuan didn't care about this move when he saw wealth. In Du Juan's eyes, the meaning was completely different...
As for Dujuan herself...she doesn't feel much about money.
If she has money, she has three meals a day. If she doesn't have money, Dujuan will eat meat whenever she wants. Money really doesn't matter to her...? [Remarks below]
After the two buried the remains of the strangers, they continued to go back to the creek to catch fish.
After some angler fish accumulated in the sack, Luo Xuan found a stone and pressed the sack into the stream.
Then Luo Xuan carried a large empty bamboo tube into the space and scooped out a bamboo tube of spring water.
The spring water in your own space is magical.
Luo Xuan plans to try to see if this spring water can keep the angler fish alive?
Not long after.
The oil in the stream has dried up, and the fish, shrimps, turtles and crabs in the water have regained their consciousness and are swimming extremely flexibly.
This makes it extremely difficult for Luo Xuan to continue catching fish.
At this time, Dujuan probably knew that the efficacy of Youku's medicine had expired.
She was holding a bunch of old turtle crabs in her hand. She turned to ask Luo Xuan, "Hey! Luo Xuan, how many fish have you caught?"
Luo Xuan opened the sack and took a look. He estimated that there were dozens of angler fish inside, so he replied: "Maybe more than 1 catty, less than 2 catties."
Angler fish are very small.
The largest angler fish needs 20 fish to weigh 1 kilogram.
So Luo Xuan worked hard for a long time, but actually he didn't catch many fish.
Du Juan smiled: "Don't be so greedy, just let the small fish go."
Luo Xuan bent down, picked out the smallest angler fish from the sack, and threw them back into the stream.
Du Juan watched Luo Xuan release the small fish and then asked Luo Xuan: "Can you really keep these fish from dying?"
Luo Xuan puffed up his chest and replied firmly: "Of course!"
I actually have some confidence in answering Du Juan this way: Even if the spring water in the space is scooped out to the outside world for use, the effect will be greatly reduced and the angler fish will not be able to be fed.
Luo Xuan can also secretly put the angler fish into the space to raise it!
In space, the Angler Fish can't die, right?
Du Juan couldn't help but smile when he heard Luo Xuan's answer with such confidence, "Okay! Anyway, you scholars are educated, so I don't understand how to feed the angler fish... I don't want to understand either."
"Here, Luo Xuan, look, what good things did I catch for you?"
Dujuan held up two of them, and the old turtle, which was almost bald, laughed and said, "We people in the mountains don't eat these things. Why do you people outside the mountains regard them as treasures?"
Do I treat it like a treasure?
When Luo Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complained: I won't treat this old bastard as a treasure!
Compared to this guy, I would rather eat a plate of twice-cooked pork, which would satisfy my craving and be more delicious!
But Du Juan caught two old turtles, and she was in a good mood. Luo Xuan couldn't pour cold water on others.
So Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Congratulations then. These two turtles may be sold for 10 yuan in the market."
Du Juan smiled and replied: "This is your old turtle. How much it sells for is none of my business?"
Luo Xuan was stunned: "You caught this, of course it's your turtle."
"This is your old turtle!"
Du Juan said to Luo Xuan seriously: "Your old turtle!"
Luo Xuan: "Yours!"
Du Juan slammed the turtle in her hand into the water: "It's your old turtle!"
Seeing Luo Xuan's confusion, Du Juan explained: "In the past, we, little Laojun, would often have herbalists from outside the mountains, and people who wanted to try their luck in the mountains would come here.
They will pay us, Xiao Laojun, a salary on a daily basis."
Dujuan said: "We mountain people, as long as we agree, we will be responsible for guiding others and helping to pick medicinal materials, mountain products, rock bees and venomous snakes. All harvests are considered their harvest... After all, they are the employer.
right?"
The "before" Du Juan mentioned refers to what happened "before liberation".
Now is a new era. If anyone comes to the mountains again and spends money to hire mountain people to help him as guides and workers...
That would be tantamount to committing suicide in a fancy way.
What era is it! Who dares to openly hire workers to do work for them?
That's like eating arsenic for an old man, and it's almost as if he's tired of living.
?[Note: In fact, the mountain people are more or less indifferent to money in their bones. They are afraid of people and things in the outside world, cannot integrate into it, and are unwilling to integrate into the outside world.
This is a concept inherited from their ancestors, and there will not be a fundamental change in their thinking just a few years after liberation.
They like to stay in places they are familiar with and live a normal life.)
