Lu Chuanbei leaned the shovel against the courtyard wall and just took off his gloves when he heard He Xuebin gasp.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chuanbei looked at him hurriedly.
"Nothing." He Xuebin took off his gloves with a grin and looked at the blister on his palm where he didn't know when it had appeared. "It's just a big blister."
"Let me see." Lu Chuanbei grabbed He Xuebin's wrist and looked at it.
Upon closer inspection, he saw three blisters the size of his little finger on the base of his palm.
"I guess I used too much force when holding the shovel and it rubbed my hand." As he said that, Lu Chuanbei looked at Xu Qi and said, "Brother Xu, Brother Fang, do you know where the needle is?"
"There seems to be a sewing machine in the tool shed. Who knows where else there might be one."
"I'll go look for it."
Fang Xiuzhu put down what he was holding and walked towards the tool shed.
Soon, he found a box of sewing needles in a plastic disc in the wooden box of an old foot-operated sewing machine in the corner of the tool room.
"Xiao Lu, do you need to light the needle with fire?" Fang Xiuzhu asked Lu Chuanbei while holding the needle box.
"Yes, if you have alcohol, bring it over too."
"Yes, there's a first aid kit here. It contains alcohol and iodine."
He Xuebin looked at them sharpening their knives and heading towards him, and couldn't help but choke back, "Well, I just have a few blisters on my hands, there's no need to make such a big fuss."
"If you don't open the blisters, they will be more painful tomorrow." Lu Chuanbei said, and washed his hands with He Xuebin.
Then he opened the medicine box, picked up a few cotton balls, dipped them in alcohol, and began to wipe He Xuebin's palms.
The same went for the needle that had been burned with fire. After soaking it in alcohol for a while, it was picked up on He Xuebin's palm.
Then drain the thick water in the blister, wipe it with iodine, and put on a Band-Aid and you're done.
"Hey, after picking the blister, it doesn't hurt anymore?" He Xuebin looked at his palm in surprise.
"There's pus in the blisters. Once you squeeze them out, the pain will be much less severe." Lu Chuanbei, who had been treated with alcohol and iodine, said, "However, try to stay away from water as much as possible these few days, and it's best to wear gloves when bathing."
As he spoke, he took out a pair of disposable gloves from the medicine box and gave them to him.
He Xuebin looked at the gloves and said, "I now believe that you really studied medicine."
"Isn't this the truth?" Lu Chuanbei asked back.
"So, that's why you decided to participate in the talent show?" He Xuebin didn't understand.
"Um...this..." Lu Chuanbei's face suddenly looked a little strange.
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell others?" He Xuebin became even more curious.
"That's not the case." Lu Chuanbei scratched his neck a little embarrassedly. "I was just short of money at the time, and the director who came to the audition told me that as long as I participated, I could get 5,000 yuan regardless of whether I could make it into the group or not."
He Xuebin's mouth twitched: "So, you participated in the talent show just for the five thousand yuan?"
"Yeah, my tuition for one semester was 5,000 back then, and I could get the money just by participating in a talent show. When I thought about this great opportunity, I immediately agreed."
He Xuebin no longer wanted to talk to him.
"Hey, Brother He, why did you leave?"
"Don't call me, we are not familiar with each other."
When He Xuebin thought about how he had participated in several auditions in order to make his debut, he couldn't help but shed tears for himself.
Fans even dug up the video of He Xuebin’s debut through a talent show more than ten years ago, as well as Lu Chuanbei’s talent show.
That comparison almost made the fans laugh to death.
More than three hours later, the Hainan Mineral Bureau, with more than a dozen staff members and detectors, survey instruments and other equipment, quickly rushed to Shanming Island.
They quickly blocked the location where the Huanglong jade was discovered and began mineral exploration.
During this survey, they found that starting from the several places dug in Lu Chuanbei and going down to the bottom of the back mountain, almost half of the mountain was covered with Huanglong jade mine veins.
And judging from the Huanglong jade that has been unearthed, the quality of the jade that has been exposed on the surface, judging from its transparency, color, luster, water head and texture, has reached the level of oily yellow.
It is conceivable that if the excavation continues, the grade of the jade mine below is likely to reach the grade of jade wax chalcedony.
This discovery surprised the exploration and inspection personnel of the Mining Bureau.
You should know that even in Longling County, the known birthplace of Huanglong jade and the origin of the ore vein, it is rare to find Huanglong jade mines of such high grade and quality.
What's more, the location where the Huanglong jade mine was discovered is on an island.
This discovery directly overturned the researchers' belief that Huanglong Jade was only found in Yunnan and the Supa River Basin.
While the Mining Bureau was conducting exploration and research on the Huanglong Jade Mine on Shanming Island, the confirmed news of the discovery of the Huanglong Jade Mine on Shanming Island was also posted online, attracting the attention of more jade merchants and netizens.
Many internet celebrities quickly went to Hainan, preparing to check in at the excavation site to take advantage of the popularity of the Huanglong Jade Mine.
Director Liu looked at the news spreading rapidly on the Internet and the information that more and more people were rushing here. For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Until Zhang Bosong said to him, "Director Liu, does this situation resemble the time when black truffles were discovered in Beiyang Village?"
As soon as these words came out, Director Liu suddenly understood: "That's right, I was wondering why this scene was so familiar. It turns out to be similar to the one in Beiyang Village."
"Yeah, I don't think we even need to wait until tomorrow. The number of people on this island will double." Zhang Bosong looked at Director Liu with a mixture of excitement and worry. "Director Liu, with so many people coming tomorrow, will we be surrounded by fans asking for autographs when we go out?"
Director Liu looked Zhang Bosong up and down and said, "I don't know about others, but you shouldn't have such troubles."
"Why?" Zhang Bosong said unconvincedly, "I'm a host with millions of fans now, so why wouldn't people be around me asking for autographs?"
"Because others have more fans than you." Director Liu said bluntly: "Besides, who told you that we still have to continue recording the show here?"
"No way?" Zhang Bosong looked at him hurriedly: "Are we going to move again?"
Director Liu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You wouldn't have forgotten our plan from the day before yesterday so quickly, would you?"
"Plan?" Zhang Bosong immediately recalled it, and then said with sudden enlightenment: "I remember..."
Lu Chuanbei and the others, who still had no idea what Director Liu was planning, had just finished lunch when they heard Lin Qi shouting outside the villa, "Brother Lu, Brother Fang, are you guys home?"
"Are you there?" Lu Chuanbei hurried out of the living room and walked towards the door: "Aqi, why are you here? Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." When Lin Qi saw Lu Chuanbei open the gate, he waved to the back: "Hurry up, everyone, bring the things over here."
"Something?" Lu Chuanbei was puzzled. "What is it?"
"Lightning-struck wood." Lin Qi grabbed Lu Chuanbei's arm without saying a word and walked towards the yard.
Then, Lu Chuanbei was seen with a dozen people pulling carts carrying large and small lightning-struck wood, rushing into the yard. Soon, the side of the yard against the wall was filled with these lightning-struck wood.
"Put everything in order!" Lynch commanded while standing in the yard.
"What's going on?" He Xuebin came out of the house and saw that one side of the yard was almost full.
"Isn't this lightning-struck wood? Why did you bring it here now, Aqi?"
"Xiao Lu, what's going on?"
"I still don't understand." Lu Chuanbei was still confused: "Could it be that my wife sent money?"
"What money?" Lin Qi said quickly, "Brother Lu, please don't ask us for money. It hurts our feelings."
A stranger who was working on the lightning-struck wood quickly responded, "Yes, Brother Lu, you've done our village such a big favor. This is just a piece of lightning-struck wood. If we were to charge you for it, how could our village save its reputation?"
"Your village?" He Xuebin looked at these unfamiliar faces with some surprise.
Lin Qi introduced with a smile: "Yes, they are all from the village who have returned from working outside."
It turned out that after Uncle Lin called the Mineral Bureau, he immediately contacted the villagers who were working outside the village.
These people are the first group of villagers who rushed back from working near Hainan. Not only that, other villagers who were away from home were also rushing to the village after hearing the news.
It is conceivable that in the next few days, the number of villagers on Shanming Island will reach its highest level except during the New Year festival.
"So that's how it is. Congratulations then."
"Congratulations." Lin Qi said, and told them that the village planned to donate all the lightning-struck wood to Lu Chuanbei.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuanbei immediately refused: "No, no, we have already agreed on the price, how can you go back on your word?"
"What's wrong with going back on your word? You helped our village find the Yellow Dragon Jade, which was such a big deal. I think you're losing out by just giving me some lightning-struck wood."
"Exactly. If we weren't in such a hurry to get back, I'd like to bring you some Hainan specialties. But it's okay. We'll be going out to sea tomorrow morning and catch some more seafood for you then."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. What kind of seafood do you like? How about shrimp?"
"Abalone is also good. The fat thickness is just right at this time."
"The octopus is also very fresh, and there are lobsters. I know where to get the big ones..."
For a moment, these young men who grew up on the sea prepared to go out to sea to catch seafood for them.
[Why does this scene look so familiar? ]
[Of course it looks familiar. After Lu Chuanbei told them the value of cicada flowers, the people in Beiyang Village gave them things this way!]
[Yes, yes, yes. I still remember those truckloads of supplies. They made Director Liu blush. I didn't expect it to happen again here...]
[I remember someone else saying this, but didn't the production team stipulate that barter is prohibited on the island? They're openly collecting seafood, so Director Liu...]
