Shen Yu smiled and pointed to the hillside not far away: "There are camellia flowers there, I'll pick two for you to wear, wait."
Meng Tao was speechless. I just said you were a straight man, and now you are being romantic again.
Wearing a sprig of twin camellia flowers and looking in the car mirror, I feel very beautiful and my mood is extremely good.
After walking for a while longer, Shen Yu told Meng Tao, "We have finally arrived this time. It is the first circle: the stream."
He took out the copied map and pointed it out to Meng Tao: "We are parked here now. Do you see that side? Going down from the road, there is a deep stream, which is blocked by trees and grass. Only people who are familiar with the terrain can see it. We have to go there, and we have to hurry. The patrol team passes by here three times a day."
"Okay, let's go there quickly."
The two got out of the car. Shen Yu looked at the rubber-soled cloth shoes that Meng Tao had just put on. They were light and comfortable to walk in, but they would be slippery on the grass. If she stepped on a sharp stone, her feet would hurt. He held Meng Tao's hand and said, "Follow me. You can walk where I have walked before."
So one led the way and the other followed. It took some time to reach the deep ravine. The grass and trees were too lush. Meng Tao looked down and couldn't see the bottom. He could only hear the sound of flowing water, which meant that the stream below was very shallow.
Shen Yu was looking for a place to go down and wanted to climb up and break branches with his bare hands. Meng Tao took out a hatchet from the space and handed it to him.
Shen Yu: “…”
His wife also carried a hatchet with her, which was indeed good for self-defense, but it was a bit too rough, and it made his chivalrous wife seem ordinary. He then went back to find a famous sword for her to keep, and also got two long and short daggers.
Shen Yu waved the hatchet and quickly cleared a path leading directly to the bottom of the stream. Meng Tao followed him down. As soon as they reached the stream, they saw several large snakes of different colors slithering into the bushes and disappeared.
Meng Tao screamed immediately. She was not afraid of tigers and lions, but she was afraid of snakes and caterpillars.
Shen Yu comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I have snake repellent on me. They will run away if they are five steps away. See, they disappeared automatically?"
Meng Tao patted his chest and said, "You should have told me earlier. I was scared to death."
Shen Yu smiled and took her hand: "Come on, let's go to the stream to wash our hands and faces."
"No! There are so many snakes, they just took a bath in there!"
Meng Tao's scalp tingled when she thought about it: "You don't want to wash it either."
Shen Yu was speechless: Wife, you still wash clothes in the Linshui River every day. You can't guarantee that there are no snakes in the Linshui River, right?
But he didn't dare to say this out loud, fearing that it would annoy his wife. If she really didn't go to Linshui River to wash clothes in the future, wouldn't she have to drain all the water from the well in the village? The problem was that he felt bad for tiring his wife.
Fortunately, Meng Tao soon forgot about the snake and followed Shen Yu, taking off her shoes and wading to the middle of the stream, because Shen Yu made a major discovery: there were many large and small stones scattered in the stream, some were oval, square, diamond-shaped, and some were irregular in shape. The largest one could have a small round table top, and the smallest was the size of a child's head. No matter how you looked at it, these stones seemed to have been carefully selected.
Who would go to the trouble of picking out rocks and throwing them at the bottom of this desolate ravine, and there are so many of them? What else do they have to do after eating?
Shen Yu squatted beside a pile of stones and wanted to knock on them with the back of a hatchet, but he felt that it would not be appropriate because it would make a loud noise.
After carefully examining them for a while, he said to Meng Tao, "This is the raw stone. If you cut these stones open, you can get the jade inside."
Meng Tao's eyes widened: "So that's how it is! Oh my god, there really is a treasure, so many raw stones! If Tian Zhiyuan gets them, they will really get rich! Do you believe it now? Tian Zhigao has come to his senses..."
"I always believed in you!"
Meng Tao nodded: "I understand."
Shen Yu added: "It's a pity that the area is too far from where there is a phone. Otherwise, we could find a car and someone to come and transport these away."
Meng Tao: “…”
She felt so sorry, the space was too small, what to do if it couldn't hold so much? Shen Yu said that excluding those scattered in the weeds, it was estimated that it could fill four medium-sized trucks. If they called to find a truck for transportation, more people would be involved. Everyone who saw it would get a share. The rules must be followed. They found it first, and finally tracked it down. In the end, they had to divide it up... It was all money, and the fat meat at the mouth was so painful!
Meng Tao complained inwardly and subconsciously moved her fingers. The two football-sized stones under her palms disappeared in an instant.
Seeing that Shen Yu was looking elsewhere and didn't notice her, she collected more than a dozen pieces in succession, picking out the big ones. However, the stone platform was not strong enough and could not hold any more.
Meng Tao looked at the raw stone as big as the small round table beside her with regret. If she could get one third of the jadeite by cutting it, she would make enough money.
Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in her mind: If the stone platform can't be put, then what about the ditches and bumps under the sea of clouds? The space has recognized its owner. Since I can put things on the stone platform of the space and take them out at will, does that mean that I can also take out the things thrown into the ditches and bumps under the sea of clouds? The more Meng Tao thought about it, the happier she became. It was true. No wonder people say that money makes the world go round. For money, her brain has become brighter! Before, she really hadn't thought of using the world under the sea of clouds.
Regardless of whether it works or not, let's give it a try! Meng Tao reached out and touched the big stone, and then he silently stopped talking, and the big stone disappeared from the spot.
Shen Yu turned around and saw this scene. He was slightly stunned: "Taotao?"
Meng Tao spread her hands and said, "Let me do an experiment."
She could no longer hide it in front of Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan. Instead, they had to act as her shield, so she didn't need to be pretentious. Besides, Shen Yu was the person she wanted to spend her life with, so she had to let him know these secrets slowly.
"Is it a Qiankun bag?"
"It's not a Qiankun bag. I don't know what to call it. Let's call it a mustard seed space for now. The place is too small, and there are other things inside. It can't fit in."
"Then don't pretend! You are so lucky to have such an extraordinary treasure as the Mustard Seed Dimension. You must cherish it! These stones are very heavy. Don't pretend. If you damage the dimension, it will be more trouble than gain!"
"I'm just trying one now. There are some abyss-like places in the space that I can't see. I want to throw the stone into it and see if I can take it out?"
"Then... wait a moment."
Shen Yu closed his eyes, held his breath, and released his spiritual sense. Just now in the stream, he had already scanned the surroundings once, and to be cautious, he wanted to take another look.
Meng Tao knew that he was using his mental power, so she just stood aside and waited quietly.
Shen Yu opened his eyes, there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. He used his spiritual sense frequently and this time moved it to a farther place, so the loss was quite great.
"There is no sign of human presence within a 20-mile radius. Just try to take out the stone you just found. Don't put it in any more."
Meng Tao agreed and took out a kettle from her bag and gave it to him. It contained boiled water mixed with pine needle dew and a bowl of bright red thornberries. She asked him to sit aside and eat slowly. She walked away to prevent any stones from suddenly jumping out.
