Lu Wensheng waved his hands immediately after hearing this: "No, I'm here, so you don't have to make another special trip.
Later, when no one is around, you guys can carry the stuff to the woods outside the village, and I’ll take it away when I leave.”
This cannot be seen by the villagers, so it can only be done secretly.
Liu Dagou was a little embarrassed: "Lu Zhiqing, I'm afraid it's not possible. The things are not at home, and it's quite far from the village..."
Lu Wensheng became interested after hearing this. He stopped eating and looked up and asked, "Where is it?"
Liu Dagou did not hide it and said frankly: "On the way you came, there are two mountains connected together with a small path in the middle. After entering, there is a very hidden cave. We hid the things in it."
Dealing in mountain products was too dangerous. Once discovered by others, it would be considered speculation. He didn't dare transport them home. Fortunately, he often went up the mountain to chop firewood and accidentally discovered the cave, which came in handy now.
Lu Wensheng then realized that the Liu brothers were not completely without merits!
"Okay, that's better! You guys wait for me at the intersection later that night, and I'll come find you after I finish packing the village stuff."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Liu Dagou responded happily.
Fearing that she couldn't find the place, he added: "I'll let San Gou wait for you at the entrance of the village. If you can't find the place, he can lead you the way."
"Okay, let's do as you say!" Lu Wensheng thought this was the best way. The wind on the road made it hard for her to open her eyes, and it would be troublesome if she missed something.
At this moment, she really wanted to have a pair of goggles, even sunglasses would be fine!
No, I have to write a letter to ask my uncle to get one!
After eating and drinking, Lu Wensheng planned to leave. It was not appropriate for a female comrade like her to always stay in the home of three older men.
Before he could open his mouth, Liu Dagou came out from the inner room with a box. It was pitch black and no one knew what was inside.
When Liu Dagou carefully placed the box in front of her, she discovered that it was actually a black lacquer box. Looking closely, she saw that it was carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects, and even inlaid with mother-of-pearl. It was very simple and exquisite.
Looking at the radiant black lacquer and mother-of-pearl box, Lu Wensheng knew that the things inside must be extraordinary.
"This is……?"
Lu Wensheng looked at the thing in front of him suspiciously, not sure what Liu Dagou meant. Could it be that he wanted to take it out for him to appreciate?
"This is something my grandfather left behind, and I plan to give it to you." Liu Dagou said seriously.
Lu Wensheng quickly pushed the box forward: "No, no, you should keep this for yourself, it looks quite valuable."
No reward without merit, she doesn't believe that the Liu brothers are fools!
Seeing that she refused to accept it and even avoided her like the plague, Liu Dagou smiled and reached out to open the box.
The yellow velvet cloth had faded a little, and a white jade hairpin and a pair of jade earrings lay quietly on it.
The white jade hairpin looks smooth and oily, like a piece of fine mutton fat, and a lifelike magnolia flower is carved on the top, making the whole hairpin look alive.
Even the jade earrings are in the shape of magnolia flowers, which is very clever and vivid!
Lu Wensheng fell in love with him at first sight, but she didn't say anything and kept waiting for Liu Dagou to make a request.
Liu Dagou spoke reluctantly after a long while: "Lu Zhiqing, you know, these things are worthless now. I...
Our family is too poor, I want to... I want to ask you to lend some money to help Ergou get married. He fell in love with a lesbian when he went to Ximengou two days ago, that is...
That family wants 300 yuan, but we can't afford that much right now, so we want to borrow some from you first. I'll pay you back next spring, and I can write you an IOU!"
Lu Wensheng was stunned. How could a wife from the mountains be so expensive? He must have been cheated!
However, she didn't want to interfere too much in their affairs. No one is a fool these days. According to Liu Dagou's personality, if there was something wrong with that female comrade, she would not take out her ancestral items to raise money.
Since you like the things, just consider it as buying them!
After thinking it through, she reached out and picked up the jade hairpin to play with it in her hand. Just as she thought, it was soft to the touch and was indeed the finest white jade. It was worth the price.
"No need to write an IOU. I'll just give you a hundred dollars as if I bought it from you, along with this box."
Lu Wensheng did not forget that this box was a good thing, and she did not want to owe anyone a favor, so it would be more appropriate to pay for it.
Liu Dagou's face was red enough to bleed, and he waved his hands in panic:
"No, no, Lu Zhiqing, I wanted to give it to you directly, but... I really don't know who to borrow the money from. I will definitely pay it back!"
The main thing is that the family said that they would wait for half a month, and if they couldn't raise enough money, the girl would marry someone else...
Lu Wensheng reached out to stop him from saying the next thing: "Brother Dagou, you don't have to be embarrassed, I bought this jade hairpin because I really like it, not just to help you.
If you really feel bad about it, then look for someone else who still has this kind of thing and I’ll buy it.”
Liu Dagou was relieved after hearing this. He didn't dare to look up and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, then... I'll listen to you."
Liu Dagou felt like a despicable person at the moment, forcing Xiaolu Zhiqing to buy something that he didn't need at all...
Lu Wensheng happily counted out ten big unity notes from his bag: "Big Dog, count them."
Liu Dagou took it with both hands: "No need to count, I believe you."
Lu Wensheng:……
This person is real!
"By the way, how much is the mountain products? I'll just pay you for it all at once."
Liu Sangou, who had been pretending to be dead, immediately took out a tattered notebook from his pocket:
"It's all here. I remember."
Lu Wensheng took it and took a look at it. He found that the account was indeed well recorded and clear.
Thinking that he had taken advantage of the hairpin, he casually asked, "Have you ever been to school?"
Liu Sangou nodded: "Yes, I graduated from junior high school."
