After the divorce, I became a mountain god

The village at the edge of the line of sight was in the westernmost direction, and Xu Bo'an just couldn't see the whole picture.

Only a few rows of stone houses can be seen, quite neatly planned.

One of the wide roads seemed to be the main road in the village, but Xu Boan could only see half of the road because of the boundaries.

The carriage convoy came from the other end of the main road from west to east.

After a while, the last carriage finished. Xu Boan counted more than ten fully loaded carriages.

Then he stopped in front of a row of houses and seemed to have set up camp.

Xu Bo'an focused his eyes, and the tiny scene suddenly became extremely clear.

The chatter of the little people driving the carriages was also clearly heard by Xu Bo'an.

A lean man quickly passed the row of houses on the side and returned to the men on horseback at the front of the motorcade.

"Shopkeeper, brothers have checked all the houses here, and there are no people in this village. Let's rest here."

A man wearing a hat like a bamboo hat nodded and said: "Okay, let everyone sleep softly, arrange for the brothers to take turns to take care of them, have a good rest for a day, and hurry up in the evening to rush out, and try to go out of Shanyang City tomorrow. territory."

"I understand, shopkeeper, I'll go greet you right now."

Soon, the man who spoke hurriedly greeted his companions.

"Everyone, gather the carriages and drive them to the courtyard here to stop. Everyone will take turns patrolling in the order of the carriages. The rest of the people will stay in the house here."

Along with the man's shouting, the people in these convoys moved in unison.

The two people riding tall horses at the front turned over in unison. A slightly younger man on the side took his knife from the saddle and grabbed it in his hand. He said with some confusion: "Shopkeeper, we are not far from the county seat." It’s not far away, and there should be no problem with public security. Are we being too cautious if we sleep in the wilderness in this wilderness?”

The man in the bamboo hat shook his head and said: "You don't know something, Mr. Lu. Most of the places in Qingmu Mansion have not been peaceful in the past few days. The Shanyang County here has been invaded twice by the rebels of the White Cotton Religion." The rebels in Qianliang took turns causing trouble, the people were in dire straits, and order was in chaos. Although it is gradually recovering, it is inevitable that there will be some young people hiding in the dark. It is better for us to be careful. Otherwise, one or two of these things will be missing. It’s not enough to make you and my brothers lose their heads.”

The man known as Lu Zhuangshi smiled bitterly and said: "Shopkeeper, don't be polite to me anymore. Just call me Changshan. I still think we are too careful. It's just a small county town, even with those few little ones." How capable a thief can be, if he dares to steal our things, I will stop him and drive him around."

As he spoke, the man shook the sword in his hand. Although it was in the scabbard, he could still feel a faint chill coming out.

The shopkeeper of the bamboo hat shook his head again and said: "After all, we are in the morning and the night is in the dark. These birthdays are all orphans. It is better to have less to do than to do more. I have to bear some grievances. It's over here. I'll ask you. You guys can go to Juxiangfang to eat, drink and have fun for three days."

Lu Changshan frowned and said somewhat unnaturally: "We'll talk about the rest later. Shopkeeper, you have a rest first. I'll check if our cars are loose. In case we don't know if something is missing."

Xu Bo'an watched the actions of these little people curiously. When he heard the words "Birthday Program" coming from their mouths, Xu Bo'an was a little stunned.

A birthday gift is a birthday gift, and it's a high-end one.

Xu Bo'an remembered that in the famous novel "Water Margin", a certain official prepared priceless gold and silver jewelry for his father-in-law who was a high official in Beijing as a birthday gift and gave it to Yang Zhilai, a descendant of the famous martial arts family who was famous for his martial arts, to escort him. However, he was robbed by Zhiduoxing Wu Yong and others in Huangnigang, which led to the change of Yang Zhi's fate after he was unable to communicate, which became an important part of the novel.

Even so, Xu Bo'an remembered that when the book described the escort, there were only ten people.

In the current convoy, there are more than ten people driving the car alone, and there are twenty or thirty people accompanying them. Compared with the birthday outlines in Water Margin, they are obviously better.

It's just that Xu Bo'an can't figure out the birthday plan of more than ten cars of gifts. What a heaven-defying gift it must be, and what a big figure the other party is. How could he afford such a huge and expensive gift.

Xu Bo'an asked himself that he had appeared in front of others several times and had already established himself as a god, but he had never received so many gifts.

These birthday outlines in front of him immediately aroused Xu Boan's curiosity.

Immediately, Xu Boan used his magical power of perspective and looked at the tightly packed carts of goods behind the carriage.

In just a moment, Xu Boan opened his eyes.

The first fully loaded carriage was actually filled with a cart full of stones!

This thing, birthday guide? Just kidding!

Xu Boan hurriedly looked at the second and third cars.

Then, I completely believed it.

The tightly wrapped things on these carriages turned out to be clear stones!

It is definitely not the high-value stones that people think of as collectible stones.

Xu Bo'an clearly saw that what was wrapped inside was clearly ordinary stones that could no longer be ordinary.

There are all kinds of large pebbles, stones of various sizes that are common in various mountains, granite, shale, sandstone, etc., everything is available, and the main theme is casual.

Xu Bo'an observed it for a long time, but really didn't see anything special, so he felt that he shouldn't miss any treasure.

These stones can be seen everywhere, not to mention other places, but Xu Bo'an can see countless such stones in this bonsai area, which really doesn't arouse the slightest interest.

Seeing such a result, Xu Bo'an suddenly felt a little uninterested. What's so interesting about these carts of rocks?

I didn’t expect that there is still such a custom in the bonsai world. It is really puzzling to give stones on birthdays, or so many stones.

Could it be some kind of custom that I don't understand?

Unfortunately, I thought this was some kind of rare treasure.

Xu Bo'an shook his head, no longer caring about these stones, and then moved his gaze to the earthen building in Kaoshan Village.

Soon, he found Li Kanshan who was cleaning up the house.

Li Kanshan seemed to be spreading the quilt, obviously getting ready to rest.

Xu Bo'an asked hurriedly: "Li Kanshan, I have a question to ask you." Li Kanshan hurriedly stopped what he was doing, knelt down on the ground piously, and said: "Grandpa Mountain God, please make it clear. I will definitely know." There’s nothing I can’t say, nothing I can’t say.”

Xu Bo'an roughly estimated the distance before asking: "If you go westward from the house you live in now, there will be a village about four or five miles away, with houses built of stone. What kind of village is that? "

Li Kanshan frowned and thought for a moment, then thought for a moment and then said: "Going back to Grandpa Shan Shen, if you go west from now on, the nearest village is called Wangjiagou, but there were no people in this village last year. What you are talking about is this A place, right?”

Xu Boan nodded slightly and said, "That should be it. Where have all the people there gone?"

Li Kanshan smiled bitterly and said: "This is not all caused by disasters. There have been severe droughts in recent years, and the crops have been harvested, because there are no good fields for planting in that place. After the disaster, the harvest dropped sharply, so As a matter of fact, almost all the people in that place ran out to survive, even the one or two who were close to the county town, because the village was deserted, so they couldn't go back once a year."

"So, that place has been an empty village for a long time?" Xu Bo'an asked again.

Li Kanshan nodded and said: "Not only Wangjiagou Village, but I don't know about other places. Just the local people I know, including the original site of our backing village, almost all the people are gone, and it is difficult for the village to survive." What is avoided is an empty village.”

An empty village is great. Since it is an empty village, doesn’t it count as an ownerless land?

Wouldn't it be possible for some people who cannot live in the earth buildings in Kaoshan Village to live in other places?

Anyway, the range of bonsai that Xu Boan controls now has long been expanded, and it is the same to Xu Boan no matter where he lives.

Xu Bo'an calmed down and stopped the topic, then asked: "One more question, when people here celebrate their birthdays, what do they need to give as gifts? Can stones be used?"

Li Kanshan was a little dazed, as if he didn't hear Xu Bo'an's question clearly, so he had no choice but to say: "I hope Grandpa Shan Shen will make it clear what birthdays are and what time it is to give gifts and stones."

Xu Boan explained: "Birthday is the day of birth. At this time, as a subordinate, if you want to congratulate your superior on his birthday, what would be a better gift? In traditional customs, is there such a thing as giving stones!"

Grandpa Shan Shen's words directly burned Li Kanshan's CPU.

What does Grandpa Mountain God mean by these words? Is he asking me to celebrate his birthday?

Do you think our gifts and tributes are too few?

It seems to be a little short, but this is my own negligence.

As for sending stones, what the hell is that?

Who would give a stone, absolutely impossible.

Grandpa Shan Shen’s words are praising me!

Thinking of this, Li Kanshan trembled all over, hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said piously to himself: "Forgive me, Grandpa Mountain God. I and other common people did not know that Grandpa Mountain God's birthday was coming, and ignored Grandpa Mountain God's birthday gift. It is true." I'm guilty, I hope Grandpa Mountain God will give me a chance to make amends."

Xu Boan looked at Li Kanshan with a wry smile, and immediately knew that he had misunderstood.

These people are really capable of wild thoughts. It's really ridiculous that even a small village in a small village can have such suspicions of being sycophants.

"That's not necessary. There is no need to remember my birthday. I just wanted to ask if you people will give you stones or something if you celebrate your birthday."

Li Kanshan muttered inexplicably: "What is this?"

Thinking that Grandpa Mountain God was still waiting for his answer, Li Kanshan hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Mountain God, if the stone you are talking about is a strange stone with exquisite shapes. Many people choose to give strange stones as gifts. It is said that some people got a disease that looks like a big stone in the past few years. The strange stone on the map of Jing Dynasty was bought for one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Xu Boan denied it and said, "You misunderstood. I am talking about ordinary stones. If these stones are given as gifts, what are the rules and regulations?"

Li Kanshan suddenly felt a little confused. This question was too retarded.

If you give ordinary stones as gifts, maybe there is something wrong with your brain!

Li Kanshan lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "If it is an ordinary stone... it should be something some of us like to keep as a souvenir. No one will give these things away. Of course, maybe the stone has some commemorative significance. not sure."

Hearing Li Kanshan's very implicit explanation, Xu Bo'an still didn't understand the meaning behind it.

Obviously, no one would give an ordinary stone as a gift.

I'm afraid there's something fishy about this.

The stones on the carriages of those who temporarily settled in Wangjiagou Village were disguised by them to hide the real birth dates; or they had been stolen by others, and these people have not discovered it yet!

If it's the former, it's meaningless. I'm afraid these people are just running around helplessly.

But if it's the latter, it's going to be very disappointing. After all, in such careful work, if an accident occurs, there will most likely be someone who can do it by cooperating inside and outside.

This also shows that some of the teams selected by the shopkeeper have different opinions!

However, all of this is just speculation, and Xu Boan cannot make a decision.

Xu Boan thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out.

No matter what the situation was, it was not within the scope of Xu Bo'an's concern, so with a no-nonsense attitude, Xu Bo'an did not observe these birthday senders anymore.

But his eyes turned and turned to Jin Dajian again.

Xu Bo'an said: "If Jin Dajian, Niu Twelve and others are willing, you can make arrangements for them. They will be brought to the mountain temple to stay. Next, I will provide them with accommodation. I will work hard for you in the past few days." ”

Jin Dajian was immediately overjoyed and responded: "Young people understand that this is what I should do."

These workers of mine are all very capable and good laborers. With their participation and help, the project of rebuilding the mountain temple will be much easier for me.

Although the trains given by the mountain gods are powerful in carrying capacity, loading and unloading have become a burden over time. With the help of these workers, many of the problems in the past can be solved!

Xu Bo'an observed the bonsai for a while. When he saw that nothing happened, he put away the bonsai and got up.

Because it was the weekend, Xu Boan was too lazy to go to the company again.

Just as he was thinking about going to the hospital to visit Tang Xiaorou and Tang Xiaotong today, he heard his cell phone ring.

Seeing that it was Liu Quan's call, Xu Bo'an answered it without saying a word.

"Mr. Xu, on one of our projects below, the security personnel detained the inspection team of the group company. Do you think we should hurry over and take a look at the situation!" (End of Chapter)
