After the divorce, I became a mountain god

The reason why Xu Boan's mind moved slightly was not because Xu Boan was interested in the vacation and leisure that Lao Mao mentioned, but because he instantly thought of the batch of horses he had ordered from Zhang Kai's racecourse from the place Lao Mao mentioned!
The batch of horses has arrived, but because I haven't been able to think of a more reliable way to pick up the goods, the hundreds of fine horses are still being fostered at the open racecourse.

It has to be brought over as soon as possible and delivered to Yan Shouyi and the others in the bonsai.

Now that Lao Mao has such a place in Jiangcheng, he can first transport the horses to Lao Mao, and then find an opportunity to send the horses to the bonsai. Isn’t that a good idea!

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an was happy in his heart, and immediately smiled and said softly: "Old Cat, you are thoughtful. Also, don't call me Mr. Xu in the future. I am not a general manager. I remember that you are several years older than me. We are equals, so just call me by my name."

Xu Bo'an's words instantly narrowed the distance between the two of them, which was equivalent to accepting Lao Mao's invitation this time.

The old cat was delighted when he heard this, and he chuckled, bringing up Xu Bo'an's topic and said, "Boss Xu, you are my benefactor. I will always remember your kindness. Our relationship has nothing to do with your position. No matter whether you work in this industry or not, you will always be the good brother Boss Xu who helped me in the beginning."

Xu Bo'an chuckled and said, "Hey, why are you talking about this? It's so sentimental. Okay, let's get back to the point. Let's talk about vacation and leisure. Why did you think of going to the provincial capital to take over a mountain? Did you get any business there?"

Lao Mao smiled bitterly and said in a nagging tone: "It's not that easy. A partner borrowed a sum of money from me before. It's been two or three years since it was due and he still hasn't paid it back. Now he can't delay it any longer, so he transferred the mountain he contracted in his hometown to me.

I originally planned to continue my old business of splitting rocks and cutting mountains, but the resistance was too great, and it was difficult to do destructive cutting in the current situation. So it has been a while, and I still haven’t figured out how to cash in on it. After all, I have no experience in this area. "

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "I thought you had developed other businesses. You are such a loser that you only plan to focus on sand and gravel. Have you ever thought about setting up a tourist attraction or something?"

The old cat smiled bitterly and said, "You think too highly of me. I am lucky that I can keep this business going!"

Xu Bo'an didn't rush to talk about releasing the horses, and said casually: "Okay, it's getting late today, let's take a rest first. I can help you think of a solution for your problem on this hill later."

The old cat said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xu. You should go to bed early. I won't disturb you any more. If you are free over there, please come and sit here. The air is really good."

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Hahaha, good then, I'll put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible, just one or two days. If I make a decision, I'll let you know immediately!"

The old cat said: "Okay, Mr. Xu, you are always welcome to come. Then you can take a rest first. I won't disturb you. Goodbye!"

Xu Boan said: "Goodbye!"

After the two hung up the phone, it was already late, so Xu Boan fell into a deep sleep.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Xu Bo'an was still asleep when he felt a refreshing sensation coming from his body. Then he heard a very urgent "cry for help".

Xu Boan was awakened by the cries for help. He opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn. Hearing the sound coming from the bonsai world, he became very anxious and didn't plan to continue sleeping.

The matter of the Bonsai World was very important to Xu Bo'an, and the cry for help coming from the Bonsai World at this time sounded very familiar to him. Without daring to delay for a moment, he quickly sat up from the bed and focused his attention on the Bonsai World.

Xu Boan immediately discovered that a scene he had never seen before appeared in front of him inside the bubble.

This place does not seem to be decorated as a temple, but rather looks like a simple cave.

Xu Boan quickly clicked on the bubble, and then his vision changed, and he found himself in a completely new place.

It really is a cave! The area of ​​the cave is about ten square meters, and there are some old farm tools scattered in the cave in a disorderly manner. It seems that farmers have temporarily stored farm tools here in the past.

At this moment, there was a person kneeling not far in front of Xu Bo'an's sight.

Xu Boan looked carefully at the person kneeling in front of him, only to find that this person was Chen Shishi, whom he had disguised himself as.

Chen Shishi returned to her hometown with her younger brother Yan Xiaojiu some time ago. Where is Yan Xiaojiu now?
"Chen Shishi, why did you call me for this?" Xu Bo'an couldn't help but ask.

"Grandpa Mountain God, it's really you, Grandpa Mountain God! I pay my respects to Grandpa Mountain God!" As she spoke, Chen Shishi immediately bowed her head and kowtowed to greet him.

Xu Boan saw that Yan Xiaojiu was nowhere to be seen and asked hurriedly, "Why are you the only one here? Where is your brother Yan Xiaojiu? Where did he go?"

Chen Shishi immediately explained, "Grandpa Mountain God, this is what happened. I accidentally twisted my ankle while walking, and it has become increasingly difficult for me to walk these days. My brother saw my condition and went to the surrounding area to find a suitable branch to use as a walking stick. I just saw that the stone tablet here is dedicated to Grandpa Mountain God, so I thought of trying to greet you, Grandpa Mountain God."

"So that's how it is. Where is this place? Do you know?" Xu Boan asked curiously.

Chen Shishi nodded slightly and responded, "I heard from my brother that we are already at the edge of Yushan Mountain Range. We will be able to get out tomorrow after climbing over another hill."

Xu Boan frowned slightly. The brother and sister had already set out for several days, but now they have not yet left the Yushan Mountains. If this continues, when will they be able to return home?

Xu Bo'an asked in confusion: "It's such a long distance, it's not a good idea for you to always rely on walking. You have money, why don't you think of buying a mule or donkey to travel?"

Although Chen Shishi didn't understand what the word "meaning of transportation" meant, based on the meaning of the previous words, she could guess that the Mountain God was asking about the mount.

Chen Pingping immediately explained: "The imperial court has strict control over horses. Horses are rare and hard to buy right now. Besides, this place is remote and there is no place to sell donkeys or mules!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Bo'an felt helpless.

Forget it, I'd better get the horses stored in Zhang Kai's place into the Bonsai World as soon as possible. While replenishing Yan Shouyi's manpower, I can also give Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu a horse for traveling, which can be regarded as taking care of them.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an instructed: "Since you are injured, you should take a rest for a while. Don't rush to travel. Take a good rest for two days. I will find a way to get you a horse so that you can walk faster."

Chen Shishi was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly kowtowed to thank the mountain god. Xu Boan did not waste any more time and immediately withdrew from the bonsai.

Because he was thinking about getting horses into the bonsai world, Xu Boan didn't continue to sleep in. After finishing the work with Chen Shishi, Xu Boan called Lao Mao.

After receiving Xu Bo'an's call, Lao Mao was very happy and greeted him warmly: "Good morning, Mr. Xu."

Xu Bo'an smiled and said directly: "I see the weather is good today. I have nothing to do today, so I was thinking about what you said yesterday. If your hilltop is convenient, I'll go over there today to take a look."

Hearing this, Lao Mao said happily, "That's great. I'm here right now. Mr. Xu, please pack up first. Give me half an hour and I'll arrange someone to pick you up."

Xu Bo'an knew that Lao Mao was not being falsely polite, and it was not good to trouble others with such trivial matters, so he immediately said: "Don't bother, just send me the location on WeChat. I just happened to be going to Jiangcheng for something, so I can drive there myself."

Seeing Xu Bo'an say this, Lao Mao stopped talking nonsense and immediately responded: "Okay, then Mr. Xu, please drive slowly on the way. I will wait for you here."

Xu Boan said politely: "Okay, haha, I'm sorry to bother you then."

The old cat said hurriedly, "No, no, you're too polite. I just bought a turtle yesterday and I'm going to stew it in an iron pot. Let's have a good drink later."

Xu Boan was stunned when he heard this. Oh my god, he couldn't get along with this turtle. Why did he have to eat turtles all the time recently?

However, Xu Boan has eaten goose stewed in an iron pot, beef, mutton, chicken, fish, ribs, etc., so what does turtle stewed in an iron pot taste like?
I just don't know if this turtle of Lao Mao was also bought from the so-called roadside construction workers like the one Lin Shan bought yesterday.

Thinking that Lao Mao also works on construction sites, he definitely wouldn't be fooled by such an obvious old trick.

After chatting for a few more words and hanging up the phone, Xu Boan received the location sent by Lao Mao.

After packing up briefly, Xu Bo'an set off for Jiangcheng.

After arriving in Jiangcheng, Xu Bo'an followed the navigation and walked for nearly an hour before he arrived at the place that Lao Mao mentioned.

This place is located at the back mountain of a village, but with the development of urbanization, most of the villagers have moved away.

Because the roads between the houses in this old village were a bit narrow, Xu Boan had to park his car at the entrance of the village and walk.

After passing through the village, you will see a wide field, which was the former threshing ground in the village.

Looking further back, you can see a landscape like a large canyon stretching for several miles. On the mountains on both sides, simple terraces built by humans with stones go up step by step all the way to the middle of the mountain.

However, these terraces have obviously been abandoned for a long time. There are no crops in the fields. Instead, they are overgrown with various weeds, thorns and some unattended fruit trees. There are also some fruits, grains and vegetables that have grown naturally from seeds that fell in previous years.

The further you look up the mountain, the more trees you see.

Xu Boan was just thinking about calling Lao Mao to confirm the exact location, when he saw a person walking towards him on the mountain road around the edge of the terraced fields at the foot of the mountain on the right side in front of him, waving at him. Who else could it be but Lao Mao?

Lao Mao trotted all the way and finally met Xu Bo'an on the threshing ground, panting. He reached out and held Xu Bo'an's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I was waiting for you at the entrance of the village. I fell on my way here just now and it took me a while to recover."

The old cat's trouser legs were covered in mud, and the knees were torn, leaving his exposed knees covered in blue and red.

Xu Boan comforted him, "Sit down and take a rest first. Don't rush to get in. I have Yunnan Baiyao spray in my car. Wait a moment."

The old cat waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's okay. I'm much better now."

Ignoring the old cat's polite words, Xu Bo'an returned to the parking lot at the entrance of the village, took out the Yunnan Baiyao spray and sprayed the old cat a few times.

Old Cat chatted with Xu Bo'an as they walked along the mountain road.

Xu Boan originally thought that they were going to go up the mountain, but the old cat walked towards the valley along the stream at the foot of the mountain.

While taking in the surrounding scenery, Xu Bo'an thought that it would only take an hour or so to transport the horses here, so there shouldn't be any problem.

After a while, the old cat took Xu Boan for a walk around the foot of the mountain. After climbing over a large protruding rock, Xu Boan suddenly felt enlightened.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Boan was quite surprised.

This is actually a natural valley depression, as big as two basketball courts, with a solid rock roof, more than 20 meters high. There is a row of brick and stone houses built below. The land in front of the houses is surrounded by a fence, with stone tables, chairs and benches, and even a basketball hoop next to it. It looks like this place is quite romantic.

Seeing Xu Bo'an looking at the place, Lao Mao explained with a smile: "The original owner was going to develop this place into a farmhouse or something like that, but it was stranded due to funding problems. I asked someone to simply clean it up some time ago, so let's leave it like this for now."

Xu Bo'an nodded, and Lao Mao walked over first and greeted him, "Mr. Xu, you must have come here after such a long journey. Come on, sit down and rest your feet and have some tea."

After Xu Bo'an sat down, he casually asked, "What do you plan to do here for a living?"

Hearing this, the old cat immediately said, "Hey, didn't I mention this little thing to you before? Originally, that guy was going to open the mountain to quarry stones, and all the relevant procedures were approved. As a result, the surrounding villagers did not allow it, saying that it would affect the feng shui of the ancestral tombs. They resisted very strongly, so the matter was delayed.
This dragged on and on until his capital chain collapsed. He had no choice but to mortgage the mountain to me. I didn't want it at first, but if I didn't want it, the repayment would be even more distant. So I had no choice but to take it over!
But I am facing the same problem now. It is difficult to open mountains and quarry stones, but the investment is too large to operate a scenic spot. Moreover, I have no experience and resources in this area, so I have not figured out how to use it yet. "(End of this chapter)
