Rebirth Craftsman

"I don't know, you have to collect the other three exquisite bamboo carvings!" Liu Xing took the exquisite bamboo carvings out of the water, and his expression was a little dignified: "If I guess right, the other three exquisite bamboo carvings are hollowed out in the air. The pictographic animals are dragon, suzaku, and basalt."

"You guessed it!" Liu Lao was shocked, and even asked: "Are all your knowledge taught by your master?"

"Hmm!" Liu Xing nodded perfunctorily.

In fact, he saw it in Master's ancient book before he was born again.

He didn't remember much at first, but when he saw this exquisite bamboo carving reflected on the wall from the water, he remembered it.

"Alas! It's a pity that one of the other three exquisite bamboo carvings is in the hands of foreigners, otherwise I can gather it together for you to study it in a few days!" Liu Lao shook his head regretfully, and saw Linglong bamboo carvings. It was cleaned, and now I took out a handkerchief and prepared to wipe it dry.

Liu Xing watched and quickly stopped: "The glaze paint on this exquisite bamboo carving has aged. Don't rub it, or you will regret it."

"Then how to maintain it?" Old Liu couldn't help asking.

"It can't be maintained at all. The legendary exquisite bamboo carvings usually have four, they are specially used to open the Luban lock, and they can only be used three times!" Liu Xingxiao looked at Liu Lao: "I am very curious now, that Luban Whose hand is the locked treasure chest."

"In our country, you can rest assured." Liu Lao replied in a low voice, "but I didn't dare to open it forcibly, waiting for me to crack the secret of this exquisite bamboo carving! I just didn't expect it to be you kid It was cracked, what an accident!"

"It's a pity that there is an exquisite bamboo carving in the hands of a foreigner." Liu Xing put the exquisite bamboo carving in the brocade box and handed it to Lao Liu: "You have collected this thing. After getting the exquisite bamboo carving from the foreigner Come find me!"

"Oh! That's the only way, but the hollowed out pictographic animal in the exquisite bamboo carving that the foreigner is holding is a dragon. If I want to get it, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!" Liu Lao smiled and put the brocade box Collect it: "But I see hope from you, no matter what the cost, I will buy it."

"Do you personally pay?" Liu Xing shook his head: "Luban locks are complicated and mysterious, but there may not be good things in the treasure box. When the treasure box is opened, if there is no value of a delicate bamboo carving, what should I do?"

This is not nonsense. According to his master master craftsman in the coastal area, his great grandson had been given a treasure chest with Luban lock before, but with great effort, the inside was empty. Nothing at all.

"It's okay, there is a country behind me supporting me, isn't it just money, I can afford it!" Old Liu smiled, turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Liu Xing hurriedly stopped: "Don't rush to leave! I haven't finished my summer homework yet! Are you planning to go wrong with your account?"

"I... I can't do many questions!" Liu Lao smiled bitterly and told the truth.

He is old. Although he graduated from a prestigious university, he now thinks that he has returned to the teacher for a lot of his memory decline, although he graduated from a prestigious university. I really want him to do his summer homework, I'm afraid he needs to review his junior high school homework. Row.

Of course, the most important point is that the knowledge of his time is very different from what Liu Xing is learning now. Although they have a lot in common, they seem to be a headache.

Liu Xing knew that Mr. Liu would not lie to him, so he had no choice but to say: "Well, since I can't do it, I won't force you, but I will have lunch right away. Can I leave after lunch?"

"I think too! Do you know? The treasure chest locked by Luban is made of gold and precious stones. It is invaluable, and it has a lot to do with Luban.

But foreigners also want to get the things in this treasure box at this time, and are negotiating with some of the leaders above.

They uttered wild words that without their high-tech machinery, it would be impossible to open the Luban lock. I was upset when I heard this, so I made a military order with the leader to crack the Luban lock in the next three months. Drop, how else would you leave in such a hurry!"Lao Liu took Liu Xing's hand, and after a cautious look around, he whispered the inside story briefly.

"So it's like this!" Liu Xing suddenly realized that he couldn't help but feel admiration for Liu Lao's spirit. Although he wanted to help with something at this time, he knew that in the face of things like Linglong bamboo carvings, he had limited learning. Can't help much.

I just discovered the secret in Linglong's bamboo carvings, which was actually accidental.

"Go, you don't need to send me off. If I want to find you, I will contact you as soon as possible!" Liu Lao patted Liu Xing's shoulder with satisfaction, then turned around and led the driver into the car and disappeared into the car. On the streets of the city.

Liu Xing watched Liu Lao walk away. After shook his head, he washed his hands and went to eat.

As for Linglong bamboo carvings, he didn't think much about it, after all, it was not something he could control.

I only hope that the foreigner will not sell Linglong bamboo carvings too expensive, or Liu Laoke will go bankrupt.

...

In the lobby of the preserved egg breakfast shop.

It's almost time for dinner.

Sitting at five or six tables full.

Liu Xing couldn't help but shook his head as he watched the lively scene.

He was about to sit with Zhang Yan for a meal by the window when he realized that his parents and sister were not seen.

"Old Li, where's my parents!" Liu Xing asked Li Dawei who was serving food.

"They seem to be talking to Village Chief Chen in the greenhouse!" Li Dawei didn't answer yet, here Gao Dazhuang said it first.

"Oh!" Liu Xing felt something was wrong, and after talking to Zhang Yan, he got up and walked towards the greenhouse.

It was quiet in the greenhouse at this time.

Only Village Chief Chen and Liu Dageng and Zhu Meiling spoke at the gate.

Xiao Peanut nestled under Liu Dageng's feet, making a grimace in protest from time to time.

"Can you be more obedient? I'll finish talking right away!" Zhu Meiling knew that Xiao Peanut was hungry, and she hugged her helplessly, and was about to take Xiao Pean out to eat, when Liu Xing came.

Village Chief Chen and Liu Dageng saw this scene and stopped chatting quickly.

Among them, Village Chief Chen smiled and said to Liu Xing: "Why don't you go here for dinner?"

"Should I ask you about this?" Liu Xing asked suspiciously.

Under normal circumstances, when it's time to eat, the parents will definitely ask Mr. Chen to eat together, and they won't hide from the crowd to discuss.

"We're all right, just chat casually!" Liu Dageng sneered.

"Yes, let's go eat!" Village Chief Chen pushed Liu Xing towards the preserved egg breakfast shop.

"Dad, I know you are hiding something from me, don't you tell me?" Liu Xing took Xiao Peanut from his mother's hand: "Sister, I know you are the best behaved. Just now, both parents and village chief Chen What did you say?"

"This..." Little Peanut whispered everything in Liu Xing's ear after innocently blinked his big eyes.

Peanut’s memory is particularly good, Liu Xing has known it a long time ago, so this time he is doing his best!

But listening to Xiao Peanut’s words to him, Liu Xing’s face changed slightly. After Xiao Peanut had finished speaking, he looked at his father: “Dad, you want to conceal the fact that our brick factory in Qingshi Village has closed down. At me?"

"It's not...it's not..." Liu Dageng glanced at Xiao Peanut in surprise. After being protested by Xiao Peanut with a grimace, he said helplessly: "I don't want to hide it from you, but I don't know what to do now. What?"

"Yes! Your father thought that through my relationship, he could pay for red bricks with good quality and low prices. Who knew that the boss of this brick factory, after seeing the bricks collapsed in large areas due to continuous rain, unexpectedly I ran away with the money. Now not only your father’s money will not be returned, but also the money of the villagers who worked in the brick factory in Qingshi Village will not return!" Seeing that Liu Xing couldn’t help it, the village chief sighed softly. , To tell the inside story.

"In other words, my dad paid thousands of dollars, and now I haven't seen a red brick, don't you say it, and it's been miserable?" Liu Xing asked with a frown.

"Yeah!" Village Chief Chen nodded.

It was not just Liu Dageng, but also a dozen villagers from the surrounding villages. They all paid in advance at the brick factory in Qingshi Village and waited for the red bricks to be fired from the brick factory to build houses.

Unexpectedly, the recent continuous heavy rain not only pitted boss Yi, but also pitted them.

Liu Dageng said: "Son, you don't care about this. I will find a way to make up. It's just that our house construction plan will be postponed."

"I know, but how do you plan to make up for this loss?" Liu Xing spread his hands and asked curiously.

His father had been honest all his life, and he didn't believe there would be any way to return the lost money.

Liu Dageng replied: "I have already discussed with Village Chief Chen just now. Don't the brick factory still have some machinery and equipment left there? Let's see how much it can be sold for."

"Haha...Is this your way?" Liu Xing shook his head amused, and suddenly looked at Village Chief Chen seriously: "When boss Yi built a brick factory in Qingshi Village, didn't he buy that piece of land? ?"

In his mind, the only piece of land in the current brick factory is valuable.

As for other things, I can only haha.

"Yes, I remember it was sold to Boss Yi for a high price of 500 yuan a mu of land, a total of 20 acres, which is a full 10,000 yuan!" Village Chief Chen recalled that he said everything he knew. come out.

In 1993, land was the least valuable in rural areas, so the price of 500 yuan per mu of land was really very high. At that time, the land had to be approved by the higher-level leaders to benefit the villagers. Next, you can buy as much land as you have, and there is no limit.

But even so, nobody cares about it.

After all, all kinds of infrastructure facilities in rural areas are not good, so ghosts come to the countryside to invest and build factories.

"Then, can my father's money be mortgaged with that piece of land? If it is not enough, you can make up!" Liu Xing suddenly said astonishing, and said what was in his heart.
