Jiang Che tried his best to suppress the restless bead, not knowing why it was so excited.
Could it be that there is something hidden in the boulder? Jiang Che thought to himself, he had never seen it so excited since he got the bead.
But now is not the time to get close to so many people, so we might as well wait until night when no one is around to come over and investigate.
Some of the stones on the mountain road have been almost cleaned, and they have been smashed and spread on the ground, which can be regarded as waste recycling.
Otherwise, it would be muddy when it rains, making it impossible to pass. Now there is only this giant block blocking the middle of the road. Passing people is no problem, but bullock carts and the like are troublesome.
Fortunately, there is a cliff next to it, which saves everyone a lot of trouble. All they have to do is push it down.
My father and second uncle quickly made preparations, inserting the crowbar and placing stones under it.
"Bah, bah"
Uncle Dacheng spat on his hands, rubbed his hands, put up a posture, and shouted in a loud voice.
"Everyone, get ready. Listen to my instructions and work hard in one direction."
"Okay!"
My father, second uncle, and the others answered loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. They pushed a rock and their blood boiled, and their muscles tensed up, waiting to exert their strength.
"One, two, three, push..."
"One, two, three, push, push hard."
"..."
After giving the order, everyone gritted their teeth and pushed hard, pried, and pushed to loosen it. This was also to make the stone swing, so as to save effort.
Unfortunately, after trying it three times in succession, the stone couldn't even move, and it had no effect at all.
Everyone's face looked a little ugly. It would be troublesome if such a big stone couldn't be pushed away. Even if it were to be dug out, it would take less than ten days and a half to complete it.
For such a long time, the travel of people in the village will definitely be affected. In the past four days, there has been a shortage of many daily necessities in the village.
Uncle Dacheng was unwilling to give up and immediately shouted: "Guys, don't give up. Let's try again. Let's make the crowbar longer and we can pry it together. I don't believe it."
Everyone took action immediately. The crowbar had a specially made mortise and tenon structure, and it could be lengthened by inserting the latch.
Immediately, the ten crowbars became five extended ones, and we started again.
"Everyone, get ready and listen to my command."
Everyone tensed their muscles and pressed on the crowbar.
"One, two, three, push harder!"
My father, uncle, and others immediately pressed the crowbar hard, and the crowbar made of hard basswood was severely bent.
The boulder swayed slightly, and Uncle Dacheng gritted his teeth, gave up pushing the boulder, and got down directly on a crowbar.
There was a click, the crowbar broke due to unbearable strength, and the boulder returned to its original position. Everyone was discouraged and immediately went to help Uncle Dacheng and the others up.
"Are you okay, Dacheng, are you injured?"
"I'm fine. This rock is in trouble! It can't be pried open at all."
Uncle Dacheng stood up, looked at the stone and sighed, he was helpless, it was too heavy, even if the crowbar broke, it would be useless!
"Don't worry, Dacheng. How can a living person be choked to death by urinating? It's really not possible for someone to send the things to the other side. Let's just make some luck."
"Let's just chisel this stone bit by bit. I don't believe it. We can't chisel it."
The villager immediately spoke, and the village chief looked at it and walked over.
"That's right. Since it can't be pushed, let's forget it. Everyone, please take turns digging and clear the road as soon as possible. Once you're done, let's go back."
The village chief had already spoken, and everyone could only sigh and shake their heads and go home. Who would have thought that a mudslide could roll down such a huge boulder.
"Son, let's go. I'll be busy in the future."
Dad and his second uncle walked over together carrying a crowbar. On the way home, Jiang Che was in a complicated mood. The stone was not pushed down, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
This stone caused the beads in the body to move abnormally. There must be something inside. It must be a pity to push it off the cliff. It would be difficult to push it down and block traffic. It is really tangled.
It's better to sneak over at night and check out the situation. It will interest Zhu Zhu, so the things inside must not be simple!
After lunch, we still had vegetables from the garden in the backyard. It felt so comfortable for the whole family.
After eating and drinking a bowl of diluted spiritual water prepared by Jiang Che, Jiang Yunshan and Chen Xiuzhi felt like they were back in their youth, full of strength.
Jiang Che also noticed a detail. The white hair on his father's temples was gradually decreasing, and his mother's crow's feet were also starting to fade, but the two of them didn't pay much attention to it.
After eating, Jiang Che pulled out a dozen tomato, cucumber and pepper plants. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang did not stop Jiang Che's strange behavior. They all thought Jiang Che was doing some experiment.
In fact, Jiang Che brought these fruits and vegetables into the space. Now the space is no longer empty. In order to facilitate work, Jiang Che also moved in a desk and various practical tools.
Why did he only pick cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers? It’s because these three vegetables are easier to take care of. There is no wind or insect pollination in the space, and Jiang Che doesn’t have so much time to manage them.
Sowing tomatoes and cucumbers is very simple. Just take the cuttings and take them out after they sprout. After the cuttings are done, Jiang Che pours the spiritual water on them and forgets about it.
Chili peppers are even simpler. Peel off the chili seeds and scatter them wherever you find them.
Jiang Che also wanted to cultivate some seedlings. Since he had promised the old village chief, he couldn't break his promise.
Night soon fell, and Jiang Che lay in bed until it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, when his parents were asleep, and then he got up secretly and opened the door.
When he turned around, Jiang Che was startled. A pair of big green eyes were staring at him brightly. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Yuan Bao, a good-for-nothing.
Seeing Jiang Che running out in the middle of the night, Yuan Bao was so excited with a big tongue in his mouth, he kept pulling at Jiang Che, and he was so excited that he even wanted to open his mouth and scream.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jiang Che pinched the dog's mouth and said, "Shh, scare me. Don't bark. Come with me."
Yuan Bao is now a clever guy, and immediately follows behind with a bang. He likes things like dogs being sneaky the most.
After running all the way with Yuan Bao and being nourished by the spiritual water, Jiang Che's physical condition was much better. He could run for several kilometers without losing breath. The closer Jiang Che got to the stone, the more excited he became.
"Yuanbao, help me guard here. If someone comes, just scream, do you understand?"
"Wow~" Yuan Bao nodded crazily.
"Don't scream now, stupid Yuanbao, wait aside and don't come over yet."
After handing over the ingot, Jiang Che got closer to the boulder, and the beads in his body began to get excited again, just like a child seeing a favorite toy.
This time Jiang Che did not suppress it. He came to the stone and stretched out his hand to place it on the stone. Jiang Che could feel the beads inside his body suddenly spinning crazily.
A huge suction force appeared from the palm of the hand, and a burst of energy entered the body along the arm, and then entered the beads.
A large amount of air flow was lost from the stone. After a while, cracks began to appear on the boulder, and large pieces fell off.
Under the bright moonlight, a flash of green light attracted Jiang Che's attention, and Jiang Che looked carefully into the crack.
"This, this is jade?!" Jiang Che quickly took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, shining it at the gap: "Hiss, it's still imperial green, my God!!"
